Do you know what the fruits of your righteousness are? You have become the righteousness of God in Christ. That means that you have the ability to stand in the presence of Satan and all his works with utmost freedom, without a sense of inferiority. You can stand in the presence of other men's failures, a victor. You can walk into the Father's presence any time with boldness. The Father has invited you to come with freedom of speech to the Throne of Grace and make your requests know. (Hebrews 4:16.) It may be for yourself, or it may be for others. You have a right here.
--E. W. Kenyon

The Sufficiency of God 8/29 Thursday Thoughts
II Corinthians 9:8-10 is a challenge from the very heart of the Master. "And God is able to make all grace abound unto you; that ye, having always all in everything, may abound unto every good work."
Here is the sufficiency of God at our disposal.
Here is the fullness of God spoken of in John 1:16: "For of his fulness we have all received, and grace for grace."
This fullness or sufficiency, or ability of God belongs to every believer; and He has made it to abound to us that we, having "all sufficiency in everything, may abound unto every good work."

You Need the Word 8/27 Tuesday Truth
How long have you been a Christian? How long have you had Eternal Life? Directly after you received Eternal Life you should have begun a careful study of the Word, for you never can tell when a crisis will come and you will desperately need faith in the Word. You also need the Word every day. You need that quiet, restful spirit.

Practice the Word 8/26 Monday Meditation
The Word is a dead word in the Bible on the table. It only takes on life as we begin to act on it, as we give it place, as we practice it in our daily conduct.

He and His Word Are One 8/23 Friday Faith
We must realize that He and His Word are one; that man's word is a dying word; and that God's Word is a living, abiding Word. The most cultured and beautiful sermon is dead as soon as it is given unless it is filled with the Word.

Part of Our Daily Lives 8/22 Thursday Thoughts
The Church will never exercise the Divine authority that belongs to it until the Word becomes a part of our daily lives...
This Word should govern us today. Our lips should be filled with it.

The Word Grew Mightily 8/21 Wednesday Wisdom
Here are some facts about the Word these men preached:
It ruled their private lives. It was magnified. It increased; it grew, a living Power. It multiplied. Men were mastered by the Word. Men proclaimed the Word. Men gathered to hear the Word.
The Word grew mightily and prevailed in heathen cities. The Word of grace is the revelation of the Ability of God to build Himself into the lives of men.

Significance of the Name 8/20 Tuesday Truth
Then Barnabas takes Paul back to Jerusalem; and in [Acts 9] the twenty-seventh verse, "And declared unto them how he had seen the Lord in the way, and that he had spoken to Him, and how at Damascus he had preached boldly in the Name of Jesus."
I wonder if you are grasping the significance of the Name. We have preached everything but the Name.

Name Above Every Name 8/19 Monday Meditation
Jesus is given the highest position in the universe. He has the name which is above every name, with all the authority of God in it. That name has been given to the Church , to us common folks, to use. In that name we are masters of demons and their works.

Joy in His Name 8/16 Friday Faith
Jesus says that up to this time we have never asked anything in His Name, but that now He is giving His disciples the right to use His Name. He uses this strange expression, "that your joy may be made full."
Happiness comes from circumstances. Joy alone comes from the Lord. There is to come to us a joy through the miraculous use of the Name of Jesus.

Faith Grows In Us 8/15 Thursday Thoughts
God is Love and God is Light; but God is also a Faith God; so when He gives us His Nature in the New Birth, there comes with that a measure of Faith to every one of us.
However, that Life has to dominate us. It has to be sustained and fed with the Word; and as we act on the Word and live in the Word, Faith grows in us.

The Word 8/14 Wednesday Wisdom
The Word preached by the apostles was the Living Word, the Life-giving Word, the Recreating Word, the Miracle-performing Word.
The Word given to us by the Holy Spirit through the apostles' lips (this would include the epistles) is not only a written Word, but it is a Living Word; it is a Life-giving Word; it is a Healing Word; it is a Prevailing Word; it is a God-indwelt Word.
In the lips of men of faith, the Word is filled with Faith, filled with Love, filled with Grace, filled with the very Nature and Life of God.
What a privilege it is to have in our lips this Living Word, this Life-giving Word.

The Place of the Word 8/13 Tuesday Truth
Acts 4:4, "But many of them that heard the Word believed; and the number of the men came to be about five thousand." It doesn't say that they heard the apostles, but that they heard the Word.
Acts 6:2, "And the twelve called the multitude of the disciples unto them and said, It is not fit that we should forsake the Word of God, and serve tables."
How early they learned the place of the Word!
Acts 6:4, "But we will continue steadfastly in prayer, and in the ministry of the Word."
These were untaught men, fishermen. The Spirit had unveiled to them the place and dignity of the Word.

Fortunes in Our Bibles 8/12 Monday Meditation
I'm going to interrupt my E. W. Kenyon quotes to share this quote from a friend's Facebook page. A.B. Simpson was a close friend of E.W. Kenyon and was the founder of The Christian and Missionary Alliance.
"Many of us have fortunes in our Bibles without knowing it, or without using our infinite resources. The Holy Spirit is given to us to be used for every sort of need; and yet, with all the power of heaven at our call, many of us are going about in starvation, simply because we do not know our treasure, and do not use our redemption rights."

Give as He Gave 8/9 Friday Faith
God so loved that He gave. I so love that I give. I so love that I give my time; I give my money; I give my ability. I lay it all upon the altar of grace.
He loves you now and He wants you to love Him as He loved you. He wants you to give as He gave.
You can't give as much, but you can give with the same spirit of love that He gave, can't you?
-- E. W. Kenyon

How Jesus Could Love 8/8 Thursday Thoughts
I never could get it clear in my heart how Jesus could love the man who was putting the lash upon His back, or how He could love the man, and die for him, who put the nails through the palms of His hands and feet; but I imagine that if you had been back there near the sepulchre when Jesus arose from the dead, you would have heard Him say, "Where is the man who plaited the crown of thorns and placed them upon my brow? I want to tell him that I died for him, that I suffered the torments of the damned for him."

You Have Eternal Life Now 8/7 Wednesday Wisdom
Eternal Life is the Nature and Life of the Father. You have that now. You have become, by the New Creation, by the impartation of God's very Nature, the righteousness of God in Christ.
Few people are established in that. Few appreciate or understand it, or have ever entered into its fullness.
It means that you can stand in the Father's presence, just as Jesus, without the sense of inferiority, that you can stand in the presence of Satan and all his works with the same fearless grace that Jesus had. (II Corinthians 2:14-15.)

Effects of Your Prayer Life 8/6 Tuesday Truth
"I am thy God. I am your Father. I am your Strength. I am your Wisdom and your Ability.) (II Corinthians 3:4-6.)
When you are established in that, fixed and secure, you become a world-ruler in the spiritual realm. Men can feel the effect of your prayer life in Europe, Asia and Africa. (John 14;13-14.) The demons that rule the warring elements of Europe and Africa are afraid of you, and they are afraid that you will turn the mighty influence of your lips and prayers against them. (John 15:7.) You are established at last in the very heart of God -- established in Love.

Vine and Branch Are One 8/2 Friday Faith
John 15:5, "I am the vine and ye are the branches."
No one can touch a branch without hurting the vine. The vine and the branch are one. You are a part of Him, and He is a part of you. He is taking care of you. You are established in this truth. All hell knows it, too. (James 2:19.)
