When Jesus Arose 5/1 Wednesday Wisdom

When Jesus arose from the dead, He arose, not only because He had put sin away, but also because He had, as a substitute, conquered Satan.  It was as though we, individually, had been the conquerors, just as though we had been there in that dark region and conquered Satan, stripped him of his authority and risen from the dead.  Then Christ rose from the dead and Redemption became a settled fact, a closed issue.

God Inside of Me 4/30 Tuesday Truth

Israel could conquer all the armies that came against them, for God was with them.  How much more can God do through us when we are conscious of His indwelling Presence.  When things press hard, we whisper softly, "He is inside of me, and the God inside of me is mightier than all the forces that can come against me."  So we rest quietly.

Trusting Today and Doubting Tomorrow 4/29 Monday Meditation

Satan has tried to keep you in bondage. One thing after another has happened that has kept your pocketbook drained...  If you have fearless confidence in Him, He will see that blessings shower in upon you.  But if you are vacillating and trust Him today and doubt Him tomorrow, you will find yourself walking alone.

I Am All You Need 4/26 Friday Faith

Now notice this sentence.  "I am with thee."  He is in the home with you; He is in the shop with you; He is in the school with you.   "Fear thou not for I am God Almighty, Creator of the Universe.  I am your Father.  I am watching over you.  Be not dismayed, for I am thy God."  I know of no other statement of Scripture that thrills me like that.  "I am thy God -- thy Father-God, the strength of your life, your wisdom, your ability.  I am your 'bread provider.' I am your caretaker.  I am all you need."

--E. W. Kenyon

Able to Meet Every Obligation 4/25 Thursday Thoughts

Psalm 46:1 is yours:  "God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble."
He is able to meet every financial obligation when you trust Him utterly.  But, it will be necessary for you to go into business with Him, for you to be partners.
Malachi 3:10, 11 should become a part of your daily consciousness:  "Bring ye the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house, and prove Me now herewith, saith Jehovah of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it."

--E.W. Kenyon

You Have His Ability 4/24 Wednesday Wisdom

He wants us to know that we have His ability, that II Corinthians 3:4,5 is ours, written especially for us.  "And such confidence have we through Christ to Godward; not that we are sufficient of ourselves, to account anything as from ourselves; but our sufficiency is from God."
You have His ability in life's fight ... have it in the office, in the store, in the schoolroom, in the home.  The mechanic has His wisdom at the bench.  The judge and the lawyer both have access to His ability.  There isn't a walk in life in which the believer finds himself, but what God's ability belongs to him, and that his Father is not watching over him, meeting his every need in every crisis.

Taking Our Place and Responsibility 4/23 Tuesday Truth

"If any man loves me he will keep my Word."  That means that we are taking our place as sons.  We will take the responsibility of sons.  We will bear the burden of it, and will enjoy the privileges of it.  If we do that, then He will assume His place as a Father and will make His home with us, take care of us and enable us to meet our obligations, enable us to walk in love and wisdom, and to walk in the fullness of His fellowship.

--E. W. Kenyon

Our Actual Father 4/22 Easter Monday Meditation

And not only are we sons, but we are heirs of God and joint heirs with Jesus Christ.  God is our actual Father.
John 16:27, "For the Father Himself loveth you, because ye have loved me."
If we are His children and if He is our Father, then he is responsible for us.  If we take our place as sons, He is bound to take His place as a Father.

--E. W. Kenyon

Jesus Our Substitute 4/19 Good Friday Faith

Jesus was the first person ever born again.  He was born twice.  He was born of the virgin Mary; then on the cross He was made sin with our sin, as our Substitute.  Then after He had satisfied the claims of justice, He was justified in spirit, made righteous in spirit, and made alive in spirit.  This was the new birth.
That is the reason that you have in Acts 13:33:  "Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee," speaking of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus.
This scripture wonderfully helped me to understand the substitutionary work of Jesus.  He had actually become sin, was forsaken of God, a curse because He had hung upon the tree.  After meeting every demand of justice, He was born again out of death, recreated and becomes a partaker of Eternal Life.

We Are in the Family 4/18 Thursday Thoughts

We are in His kingdom.  Colossians 1:13, "Who delivered us out of the authority of darkness, and translated us into the kingdom of the Son of His love."
We have found His Righteousness.  II Corinthians 5:21, "Him Who knew no sin He made to be sin on our behalf; that we might become the Righteousness of God in Him."
Then we are in the family.  (Romans 8:14-16.)
And in I John 3:1, we read, "Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called children of God:  Beloved, now are we the children of God."

-- E. W. Kenyon

Lordship 4/17 Wednesday Wisdom

So with the heart man believes that Jesus is His Righteousness, and then he make a confession of his salvation, of the Lordship of Jesus over his life.  "Lordship" really means "the bread provider," the one who sustains, protects, and cares for us".  So in the very beginning of the Divine Life, Jesus assumes the responsibility of our caretaker.

--E.W. Kenyon

What We Are in Christ 4/16 Tuesday Truth

The Scripture describes the Adversary, tells us much about him.  But it tells us more of what we are in Christ; and as we come to know our place in Christ, our rights and privileges, we become very conscious of any division in our walk.  We know the moment we step out of love, we step into No-Man's-Land where the Adversary gains ascendancy.

--E. W. Kenyon

He Is With You 4/15 Monday Meditation

Matthew 28:20, "Lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world."
He is with you in the living Word.  He is with you in the presence of the mighty Spirit that lives in us.  He hasn't left us alone, and He will not leave us alone.  His ability is our ability; His strength is our strength.

--E.W. Kenyon

Doer of the Word 4/12 Friday Faith

You are a doer of the Word.
The Word is living in your lips.  It is just as though the Master spoke it Himself.
That man gets what he prays for.  We do the things that are pleasing to Him.  In other words, we are taking Jesus' place.  We are Father-pleasers just as Jesus was. (John 8:29)
It is a doer of the Word that receives things from God.  Idle words may entertain men, but they do not reach God.

--E.W. Kenyon

The Real Doer 4/11 Thursday Thoughts

The hearer may show many blossoms of promise, but it is the doer that delivers the ripened fruit.  The Word lives in him; he lives in the Word.  He is the fruit-bearing branch-- a real doer.
Prayer is a reality.  He is not talking off into space.  He is in the Throne Room in the presence of the Father.  Here the Name of Jesus is always honored.  He receives that for which he asks.
Did you notice, "As you live in me and my words live in you"?
This is the real doing of the Word, not just a doctrine, but God speaking and God living in His own Word in us.

--E. W. Kenyon

You Can Trust Him 4/10 Wednesday Wisdom

You see, you can trust Him.  You bank on Him.  Your expectations are from Him.  You do not turn to the beggarly help of Sense Knowledge [believing only what you can see].
We do the Word, we live the Word, we act the Word, we trust implicitly in the Word, and we know that God and His throne are back of every word.  That gives us a quiet, restful confidence,

--E.W. Kenyon

The Word Prevails 4/9 Tuesday Truth

The Word at last prevails.  We are what He says we are.  We can do what He says we can do. 
He is what He says He is, and no Word from Him is void of ability to make good in us.

--E. W. Kenyon

Light, Strength, Wisdom 4/8 Monday Meditation

Psalm 27:1, "Jehovah is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear; Jehovah is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?"
Did He say that He is the strength of my life?  Then He IS.
I have all the strength I need for any emergency or any need.
Do I lack wisdom? (Most of us do.) Well, I Corinthians 1:30 says that God made Jesus to be wisdom unto us.  That means that we shall have ability to use the knowledge that is given to us in the Word, that we are no longer to walk in darkness, for we have the light of life.

--E.W. Kenyon

The Secret of Faith 4/5 Friday Faith

My heart never recognized the secret of Faith until I saw this truth:  that the Word must prevail over my mind.  When the Word became as real to me as the word of a friend or a banker, then Faith ceased to be a problem.
I no longer thought of Faith or the need of it.
You see, Jesus never intimated a need of Faith.  Why?  because He had the Father's Words.
Did God say it?  Yes!  THEN IT IS!

-- E. W. Kenyon

The Word 4/4 Thursday Thoughts

The Word takes the place of the unseen Christ.  Meditation in the Word is a visit with Him.  The Word becomes a part of one by meditation. The Word living in us gets into our blood.

--E.W. Kenyon

When Scripture Is Useless 4/3 Wednesday Wisdom

Mark 16:18, "They shall lay hands on the sick and they shall recover."  This means nothing until we act on it.
"In My Name they shall cast out demons."  The scripture means nothing until we act on it.
John 15:16, "The whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in My Name He will do it."
This scripture is useless, dead, until we act on it.  It is acting on the Word that builds faith in the believer.  You may have all the promises; you may have the mighty Spirit dwelling in you; but if you do not act on the Word, God is impotent in you.  Acting on the Word makes Jesus vitally real to the believer.  (II Corinthians 5:7)

--E.W. Kenyon

Intimacy With the Father 4/2 Tuesday Truth

What would it mean to have the Father and Jesus both living in your home?  It would insure the rent, the taxes, and all the bills, because the Father would pay His way and enable you to meet every obligation.  How intimate He wishes to become with us.  (Matthew 6:31-33)
