His Ability Is Your Ability 6/1 Thursday Thoughts

You are conscious of the reality of the Word. He can't fail you. He is with you in the written Word; He is with you in the Name of Jesus; He is with you in the Presence of the Holy Spirit. That sufficiency of God is your sufficiency. His ability s your ability. -- E.W. Kenyon.

When a Crisis Will Come 5/31 Wednesday Wisdom

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. -- E. W. Kenyon

He and His Word Are One 5/30 Tuesday Truth

We have substituted Sense evidence for the Word. We have substituted education and organization for the Word. They are all of them failures. The Word in the lips of faith, filled with love, filled with the very life of God, has as great authority and ability as it ever had in the history of the Church. 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. -- E.W. Kenyon.

Filled With the Word 5/29 Monday Meditation

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. -- E.W. Kenyon.

God Is a Faith God 5/26 Friday Faith

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. -- E. W. Kenyon.

The Place of the Word 5/25 Thursday Thoughts

Acts 2:41, "They then that received the Word were baptized: and there were added unto them in that day about three thousand souls." This is unique. They that received the Word -- not the doctrines, nor the teachings, nor a creed -- but the Logos [Word]. 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. -- E. W. Kenyon.

Jesus' Thoughts on Good Friday 5/24 Wednesday Wisdom

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." -- E.W. Kenyon.

You Are a Part of HIm 5/23 Tuesday Truth

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 the truth. ... Philippians 4:19, "And my God shall supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus." ... You are laboring together with Him. You are partners. You are fellowshipping each other. You are sharing with Him; He is sharing with you. What a wonderful life it is! -- E.W. Kenyon.

Established in the Word 5/22 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). ... 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. -- E.W. Kenyon.

The Bible on the Table 5/19 Friday Faith

The Word is a dead word in the Bible on the table. It only takes on life as we begin to act it, as we give it place, as we practice it in our daily conduct. -- E.W. Kenyon.

The Conscience 5/18 Thursday Thoughts

The conscience is the voice of the human spirit. It is governed by human reasonings and environment before it is recreated; but after it receives Eternal Life, it can become the voice of God. -- E.W. Kenyon

As He Gave 5/17 Wednesday Wisdom

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.

More Than Conquerors 5/16 Tuesday Truth

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. (1 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 and willing His own precious will. (Philippians 2:13). -- E.W. Kenyon.

Every Believer Should Know 5/15 Monday Meditation

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) -- E.W. Kenyon

Saturated With God 5/12 Friday Faith

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; selfishnes shrinks and shrivels in the presence of this love life in you. -- E.W. Kenyon.

A Doer of the Word 5/11 Thursday Thoughts

I become a doer of the Word, then I become a doer of Love. I become a doer of Faith. I become a doer of this abundant life that is in me. I am living it, letting it loose in me. It lives in me, and rules me. I am not deceiving myself now with some empty profession because I assent to a creed or the doctrines of a church. This means very little to the world and to the Father. But now that Word has become a part of my very being. It is building into me the Love Nature of the Father. -- E.W. Kenyon.

We Are of Love 5/10 Wednesday Wisdom

We are of Love and he who knows Love will listen to us. You see, "Love is of God, and everyone that loveth is begotten of God" (I John 4:7). The test of the New Birth is this Love Life. How beautiful it would be if we were actually swallowed up of love. This is what it means -- swallowed up of life, and life is love. It would solve the home problem, wouldn't it? There would be no quarreling or bitterness. What a heavenly atmosphere the children would grow up in; they would never hear an unkidn word or a bitter criticism. -- E.W. Kenyon

Life Abundantly 5/9 Tuesday Truth

"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. (2 Corinthians 5:4). He wants you so dominated by His Nature that Satan can gain no advantage over you. -- E.W. Kenyon.

You Must Not Forget 5/8 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." -- E. W. Kenyon.

You Stand Invincible 5/5 Friday Faith

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 to 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." You will find that the people through whom Satan persecutes you for righteousness' sake will suffer... They cannot touch you. They may rob you of your reputation, but they cannot touch your spirit. You stand invincible. You are the righteousness of God in Christ. -- E. W. Kenyon.

What More Do You Want? 5/4 Thursday Thoughts

Can't you hear Him whisper (Isaiah 41:10), "Fear thou not, for I am with thee; be not dismayed, for I am thy God; I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness." What more do you want? -- E. W. Kenyon.

Begin to Live the Word 5/3 Wednesday Wisdom

Well, the Spirit that raised up Christ from the dead will give clearness to your mind if you will practice it. 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). -- E. W. Kenyon.

New Creation 5/2 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. -- E.W. Kenyon.
