The Impossible 9/30 Friday Faith

Faith doesn't ask for possible things. Faith is demanding the impossible. Prayer is never for the possible, but always for the thing that is out of reason. It is God who is at work with us, in us and for us. "How shall he not with him freely give us all things." --E.W. Kenyon.

More Than a Conqueror 9/29 Thursday Thoughts

You take your position in Christ that you are more than a conqueror, that no matter what the testing may be, God cannot let you fail. You are not standing on sense evidence. You are not standing on the faith of other people. You are standing squarely upon His own Word. Your confidence is not in the prayers of others, but in this unchanging, unbreakable Word; and you refuse to allow your lips to destroy the effectiveness of that Word in your case. You hold fast to your confession though it would appear as though the prayer was never answered. It is your quiet assurance in His Word that gives you the supremacy over your Adversaries. -- E. W. Kenyon.

Defeating the Adversary 9/28 Wednesday Wisdom

Every person who walks by faith will have testings. They do not come from the Father; they come from the Adversary. He is refusing to allow you to escape him. You become dangerous to the Adversary when you become strong enough to resist him -- when you have learned to trust in the ability of the Father to meet your every need. When that becomes a reality in your consciousness, the Adversary is defeated. -- E. W. Kenyon.

The Word Cannot Be Broken 9/27 Tuesday Truth

Our confession is that the Word cannot be broken; that what the Father says is true. When we doubt the Father, we are doubting His Word. When we doubt His Word, it is because we believe something else that is contrary to the Word. Our confidence may be in the arm of the flesh; it may be in medicine; it may be in institutions; but whatever our confidence is in, if it contradicts the Word it destroys our faith life. It destroys our prayers. -- E. W. Kenyon.

Effect of Our Spoken Word 9/26 Monday Meditation

Our faith or unbelief is determined by our confession. Few of us realize the effect of our spoken word on our own heart or on our Adversary. He hears us make our confession of failure, of sickness, of lack, and apparently he doesn't forget; and we unconsciously go down to the level of our confession. No one ever rises above it. If you confess sickness, it develops sickness in your system. If you confess doubt, the doubts become stronger... You say, "I can't understand this." No. Because most of us live in the sense realm and spiritual things are very indistinct. -- E.W. Kenyon Bottom line: You will never be more than you tell yourself you will be. - Lep

Man's Word and God's Word 9/23 Friday Faith

Man's word, like grass. withers. God's Word, like Himself, can never die, can never lose its freshness, its power, its ability to recreate, to strengthen and give courage. -- E.W. Kenyon.

The Word Is Always Now 9/22 Thursday Thoughts

Man's word may fascinate and satisfy reason for a time, but the heart demands the Word of God. This Word illuminated by the Holy Spirit is God's light on life's pathway. The Word is a part of Himself. You can lean on the Word as you would lean on Him. You can rest in the Word as you would rest in Him. You can act on the Word as you would act if He had just spoken to you. The Word is always Now. -- E.W. Kenyon.

Makes His Home in Us 9/21 Wednesday Wisdom

We have made a great deal of receiving the Holy Spirit. It has been majored [sic] and we have ignored the fact of His being in us. I John 4:4: "Ye are of God my little children, and have overcome them because greater is He that is in you, than he that is in the world." Phil. 2:13: "For it is God who is at work within you, willing and working his own good pleasure." Not only are we Born Again, have become the very sons and daughters of God, but He comes and makes His home in us. -- E.W. Kenyon.

Into Perfect Liberty 9/20 Tuesday Truth

That Redemption meant that Satan had been utterly defeated, stripped of his authority and dominion so that any man no matter what his contition has been, how deeply he has been enmeshed in sin, can by whispering the name of Jesus and by confessing His Lordship, step out of bondage into perfect liberty. -- E. W. Kenyon.

The Source of Faith 9/19 Monday Meditation

Fasting and long hours of prayer do not build faith. Reading books about faith, and about men of faith and their exploits stirs in the heart a deep passion for faith, but does not build faith. The Word alone is the source of faith. But the Word will not build faith unless it becomes a part of us. "If ye abide in me and my words have their place in you." That is, they have their place in our conduct. Jesus gave us the key. He said, "The words that I speak are not mine, but my Father's." ... Faith is built in us by the Word being built into us, by our acting upon it. -- E.W. Kenyon.

You Are a Son 9/16 Friday Faith

You are not a servant. You are not a slave. You are a son. You are taking Jesus' place, acting in His stead, doing the Father's will. -- E. W. Kenyon.

I Believe in Miracles 9/15 Thursday Thoughts

We will have to give up our prayer life utterly, or we will have to believe in Miracles. I believe in Miracles. I believe in divine intervention. I believe that the prayer of Faith reaches God our Father, and when it reaches Him He acts in response to that Faith. When He acts in response to our Faith, His action is above our Reason. It is in the Realm of Miracles. -- E.W. Kenyon.

We Live by Faith 9/14 Wednesday Wisdom

The instant that you say that there are no Miracles in this dispensation, you deny that our walk is a walk by Faith, and you declare that our walk is a walk by Reason. I challenge you to find one place where God tells us as believers to walk by Reason. God is a Faith God. We are a Faith family. We are all born by Faith. We live by Faith. By Faith we live, breathe, and have our being in Christ. If there are no Miracles, then there is no reason for Faith. If there are no Miracles, God can't answer prayer, because He can't answer prayer of any character that is not a Miracle. -- E.W. Kenyon.

It Is a Miracle 9/13 Tuesday Truth

For God the Father to hear my prayer is equivalent to His answering it. Now, for God to hear me is Miracle. For God to answer my prayer, regardless of its nature, is a Miracle. Whether my petition is for a postage stamp or for a million dollars, it is a miracle. Any divine intervention, any arrest of the laws of nature that comes in answer to Faith, is a Miracle. -- E. W. Kenyon

The Two-Fold Value of Prayer 9/12 Monday Meditation

The two-fold value of prayer lies first in sitting in His presence, or in direct Fellowship with the Father. The second benefit is the answer that comes to us. -- E. W. Kenyon.

The Pray-ers 9/9 Friday Faith

One cannot spend an hour in conscious communion with the Father, the Son, the Spirit and the Word without carrying away from that trysting place the fragrance that fills the atmosphere. There is a heavenly fragrance about Jesus that lingers with the pray-ers. They are slow to speak. They are slow to judge. They are quick to love and quick to help. There is a holy calmness about their lives that challenges the restless ones; they crave that quietness of spirit. -- E.W. Kenyon.

Begin It Now 9/8 Thursday Thoughts

It is a pity that more of us do not force ourselves into a life of prayer. We have the time. We use it in useless talk, or careless reading. While the Spirit is searching for an outlet He must pass us by because we are not ready. Oh, I beseech you, Reader, not to talk about it any more, or plan when you will do it, but begin it now. -- E.W. Kenyon

Prayer Alone Gives Success 9/7 Wednesday Wisdom

Preaching and personal work are God-honored and blessed vocations or mnistries, but prayer is the foundation of it all. A man might preach with the eloquence of a Beecher and be the most skilled of diplomats as a soul winner, but he will fall short of his ministry in both fields if he isn't backed up by the prayer life. The failure of all Christian enterprises is a prayer failure. Prayer alone gives success. -- E. W. Kenyon.

Partaker of the Divine Nature 9/6 Tuesday Truth

God wasn't any more His [Jesus'] Father than He is ours. [Jesus] said, "The Father loveth you even as He loves me." He was the Son of God. You are a son of God. He was Deity. You are a partaker of the Divine Natures, that is Deity. He had the Holy Spirit dwelling in Him. You have the Holy Spirit dwelling in you. The difference is that Jesus gave the Holy Spirit right of way in a sense of which we have never yet learned. He took advantage of the God-life within Him in a way that we have never yet been able to take advantage of the God-ife within us. -- E.W. Kenyon.

We Do Not Know What Belongs to Us 9/5 Monday Meditation

The more that I study the life of Jesus, I am convinced that He did not exercise divine power in excess of what every intelligent child of God possesses today. The difference is that Jesus knew what belonged to Him and Jesus used His rights. We do not know what belongs to us. Not knowing what is ours, we cannot use our rights. When Jesus cast out demons, He used authority that He has delegated to the church. He said, "In my Name ye shall cast out demons." -- E. W. Kenyon.

The Lack of Prayer 9/2 Friday Faith

There is no denying that the lack of prayer is the bane [death, destruction, ruin] of the individual believer. -- E.W. Kenyon.
