Rest under the shadow of that great Rock in this weary land; and you hear someone saying, "Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him that loved us."
You know who you are, what you are. (I John 3:2.) You know Who is backing you up, Who is protecting you. For it is God who is at work within you working ad willing His own precious will. (Philippians 2:13.)
--E. W. Kenyon

God Is For You 7/31 Wednesday Wisdom
Romans 8:31-38 is God's photograph of the established believer... Here is the first sentence: "If God is for us, who is against us?" We should be established in that.
You know that scripture is yours. You know that God is for you. You know that He is your Father and that He gave up His Son to die for us; and you know that He has given us His own Nature, His own life. (I John 5:12-13.)

Established in Truth 7/30 Tuesday Truth
Every believer should be established in this truth. So many are established in weakness; they live under the shadow of it. Others are established in sickness and infirmities. (James 5:14-17.)
Others are established in fear, in the sense of sin, the sense of lack and inability. (Isaiah 41:10.)
We want to learn to be established in the Word.

A Victor, A Conqueror 7/29 Monday Meditation
Every believer should know what the Name of Jesus can mean to him in his daily life, so that no matter what happens, he is a victor, a conqueror. (John 16:24.)
"In my name ye shall cast out demons." (Mark 16:17-20.)
You can cast out all demons if you cast out a demon, and you can cast out the work of a demon.

Established in the Word 7/26 Friday Faith
Every believer owes it to himself to be established in the Word, to be settled and fixed so that he will not be wafted about by every wind and storm. (Ephesians 4:14-16.)
He should know what he is in Christ, know it so thoroughly that no matter what happens he stands unruffled, unaffected. (Ephesians 1:3-7.)
He should know what Christ is to him, and what He has done for him, and what He is doing for him now (I Corinthians 1:30; Philippians 1:16; and Hebrews 7:25.)

Saturated With God 7/25 Thursday Thoughts
Ephesians 1:3 brings to us, "Blessed be the God and Father of my Lord Jesus Christ who has blessed me with every spiritual blessing in the heavenlies in Christ."
How it thrills the heart! He has blessed us with the fullness of Himself. As the air is saturated with moisture, so your spirit and body are saturated with God. You have received the gift of grace which means the unveiling of the Father's very purpose in you in such abundance that people are affected by what you say.
You are rooted and grounded in love. Men are affected by it; selfishness shrinks and shrivels in the presence of this love life in you.

Abundance of His Nature 7/24 Wednesday Wisdom
"I am come that ye might have life and have it abundantly (or in abundance)" (John 10:10).
The Father wants you to have the abundance of His Nature. He wants your whole spirit and soul swallowed up in His Life (II Corinthians 5:4).
He wants you so dominated by His Nature that Satan can gain no advantage over you.

My All-Time Favorite Quote 7/23 Tuesday Truth
Facebook reminded me that a year ago today I posted my all-time favorite quote, which I repeat every year or two:
God has privileged us in Christ Jesus to live above the ordinary human plane of life. Those who want to be ordinary, and live on a lower plane, can do so; but as for me, I will not! For the same unction, the same zeal, the same Holy Ghost power is at our command as was at the command of Stephen and the apostles. We have the same God that Abraham had, that Elijah had, and we need not come behind in any gift or grace.
-- Smith Wigglesworth

Working in Me 7/22 Monday Meditation
You must not forget that you have Him inside you, the One Who raised Jesus from the dead. He is actually there.
Read... Ephesians over and over again until it prevails in your life; then whisper, "God is working in me according to His ability (for that word power means ability). His grace, His love, His Life is effectually working in me."

A Bundle of Diseases 7/19 Friday Faith
If Satan has been adroit enough to deceive us and to bring along a bundle of diseases and place them at our door and tell us that they are our diseases, that they have our names on them, and we are unwise enough to sign up for them, that is unfortunate. Now were are instructed, however, and we know the truth.
We say, Satan, whose diseases are these?"
He says, "They are yours."
We say, "We beg your pardon. Our diseases were borne by Jesus. If you have any diseases, sir, they are your own; and in the Name of Jesus, I command you to take them away."
We hold fast to our confession that "surely He hath borne our sicknesses and carried our diseases"; and because He did it, it is well done and perfectly done; so we hold fast to that confession.

Begin to Live the Word 7/18 Thursday Thoughts
Begin to live the Word. Begin to take your place right now as a son or daughter in the family. You whisper, "Father, I am what You say I am. I can do what You say I can do in Christ. I can do all things in Him Who strengtheneth me" (Phil. 4:13).

Persecuted for Righteousness 7/17 Wednesday Wisdom
Matthew 5:10, "Blessed are they that have been persecuted for righteousness' sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven."
Men won't persecute you for your righteousness; that will be Satan. He will bring scandal upon your life. He will make you look unrighteous. When he cannot make you be unrighteous, he will scandalize you.
But you remember Isaiah 54:17, "No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn."
... They may rob you of your reputation, but they cannot ouch your spirit. You stand invincible. You are the righteousness of God in Christ.

A Branch of the Vine 7/16 Tuesday Truth
You are a new Creation. If all you ever had was forgiveness of sins, Satan could claim you for his own. He could say, "You are mine." But now he has been defeated. He looks upon you as a New Creation, a branch of the Vine, Jesus, Who conquered him.
The only thing he can do now is to hinder that branch from bearing fruit.

In Christ 7/15 Monday Meditation
"Wherefore if any man is in Christ..." Every man is in Christ who has acknowledged Him as Saviour and Lord. That expression, "in Christ," is a legal phrase. It means that I have received the Nature and Life of God into my spirit and that I am now a branch of the Vine. It means that the old things of my past life have stopped being and that all things have become new; and all these thing are of God Who has reconciled me to Himself.

So Long As I Walk in Love 7/12 Friday Faith
So long as I walk in love, Satan is a defeated being as far as I am concerned. When I step out of love, I step over into no man's land, where Satan has access to me. When I walk in the light as He is in the light, Satan has no dominion over me.

Responsible for His Sheep 7/10 Wednesday Wisdom
The shepherd is responsible for the protection of the sheep. He is responsible for their food and water, and so my Shepherd, Jesus, says, "I am the Bread of Life. He that cometh to me shall not hunger, and he that believeth on me shall never thirst."
How that fits into the thought of the shepherd. He leads me down where the waters are gentle and quiet. He takes me back then where the alfalfa is rich. In every place in life He cares for me.
You can almost hear Paul say, "My God shall supply every need of yours" (Philippians 4:19).
Or, Ephesians 1:3, "Who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenlies in Christ."
He is my Protector and Caretaker. He is my Shield. No enemy can touch me.

Walk in His Will 7/9 Tuesday Truth
We have thought that the Father's will would be hard, and we shrank from doing it. But, instead, it is a will of Love. As you walk in the Father's Will, you always walk in the Light. You will never injure anyone. Your words will be saturated with love. You will walk in the light, for His will is the Light. You will walk in Love, for His will is Love.

The Family of Overcomers 7/8 Monday Meditation
Our faith took us into the family of overcomers. Our faith made us sons and daughters of God. Our faith has made us the very righteousness of God, has made us New Creations of God.
"And who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?"
You stand before the world as God's overcoming son.

Nothing Impossible 7/5 Friday Faith
I took the Fourth of July off without prior notice. Sorry for any inconvenience.
What He did in the dead body of Jesus, He can do in your life. He can take your lips with God's Words filling them, and lead men to Christ, heal the sick, cast out demons, break the dominion of sin and fear over the minds of men and women...
Hear Him whisper, "If g]God is for you, who can be against you? I can do all things in Him Who strengtheneth me. Lo, I am with you always. Nothing shall be impossible to you. God is the strength of your life.

You Rest in Him 7/3 Wednesday Wisdom
Your Heavenly Father knows your needs, knows your surroundings, the opposition, knows the whole thing.
You rest in Him. You are His child; you are in His family; you are a branch of the Vine. He is the Husbandman. He cares for the vineyard. He knows about it. You are His fruit-producer. You are His connection with the unsaved world. You are His connection with the church and the people in your community. You have His life, His nature. You have His light and wisdom. You have His love. You have Him. He lives in you. By giving Him His place, you let Him have freedom in you.

Master of Circumstances 7/2 Tuesday Truth
When one is master of circumstances, he has taken on his rights and privileges in Christ. The Word has become a reality. He says fearlessly, "I can do anything that my Father wishes me to do, because greater is He that is in me than he that is in the world."
Just as Jesus said, "I came down from God," you say, "I am from God, and I am an overcomer; because greater is He that is in me than he that is in the world" (I John 4:4).
So, you see the secret of living is living in His word. That is His will.
