Enter His Rest 6/29 Thursday Thoughts
He called us into fellowship with His Son. The Son is in His rest. He has rested from His work that He wrought for us in our Redemption. We have entered into that rest without works.
We didn't have to do anything, so we are resting now in His rest. We are quiet with His quietness. We are fellowshipping Him. We have linked arms, as it were, with Him. He is our Protection. He is the Strength of our lives.

Formula for Victory 6/27 Wednesday Wisdom
Every burden has been put over on the Master. You have come to recognize in Jesus and in the Father your perfect strength, your perfect rest, the place where nothing can disturb you.
Philippians 4:6, "In nothing be anxious, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall guard your hearts and your thought in Christ Jesus."
In nothing be fearful or anxious. Every anxiety has been committed to Him. This is God's formula for a life of victory.

The Rest of Redemtion 6/27 Tuesday Truth
The third great word is rest; the rest of Redemption is the thing which every believer should know and enjoy . . .
What kind of rest is it? It is not the rest of one who is climbing a hill with a heavy load, and then sits down for a moment and holds the load in his arms. It is the rest of one who has no burden, who has cast every burden upon the Lord.
I Peter 5:7, "Casting all your anxiety upon him because he careth for you."
-- E. W. Kenyon.

The Power of the Church 6/26 Monday Meditation
The conquering power of the Church is not knowledge of the miraculous, but joy. A joyful congregation is an attracive congregation. A joyful believer is attractive.
Peter says in 1 Peter 1:8, "Whom having not seen ye love; on whom, though now ye see him not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory."
-- E. W. Kenyon

Joy 6/23 Friday Faith
Joy is something that only believers have. The world may have happiness. They find that in their surroundings, their environment. But joy is a fruit of faith. It is a fruit that comes from the recreated spirit . . .
The believer should never allow anything to rob him of his joy.
-- E.W. Kenyon.

Fruit of Full-Grown Faith 6/22 Thursday Thoughts
There are three great words that describe the condition of the believer who is taking advantage of his privileges in Christ -- rest, peace, and joy. These three words are the fruit of full-grown faith.
John 14:27: "Peace I leave with you; my peace I give unto you; not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be fearful."
-- E. W. Kenyon.

Nothing Can Separate 6/21 Wednesday Wisdom
Romans 8:38-39 will help our hearts just now. This is the climax of His great redemption teaching: "For I am persuaded that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord."
He enumerates everything that can come to a man or a woman, every calamity that can possibly come in our earth walk, and tells us that none can separate us from the love of our Father.

Missing the Mark 6/20 Tuesday Truth
"And the blood of Jesus Christ cleanses us from all sin." (1 John 1:7) That is effective as long as were are in fellowship.
The correct meaning of the word "sin" is "missing the mark."
As long as I am in fellowship with Him, I may miss the mark again and again, but His blood avails for me.

Broken Fellowship 6/19 Monday Meditation
Fellowship can be broken because I willfully fail to do His will. I step out of light into darkness. I stop practicing love, and when I do that, I step over into darkness, want -- into Satan'sterritory. I am filled with restlessness.
Joy is gone. My fellowship with the Father is gone.
If I say that I have fellowship with Him and walk in darkness, I lie and do not the truth.
"But if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship with another (and with the Father) and the blood of Jesus Christ cleanses us from all sin." (1 John 1:7)
-- E. W. Kenyon.

Forgive and Forget 6/16 Friday Faith
I look up to the Father and say, "Father, forgive me for doing that thing." And the moment I do, He forgives me. It is wiped out as though it had never been. That instant that I confess it and tell the Father of it, Jesus says, "Lay that to My account."
Notice that the Father has no memory of our past mistakes and failures. You must forget them too.
-- E. W. Kenyon.

Joy and Fellowship 6/15 Thursday Thoughts
What does joy grow out of? What is the secret?
I Corinthians 1:9, "God is faithful, through whom ye were called into the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord."
Fellowship is the secret, is the thing that gives joy. When this fellowship is broken, the joy dies.
-- E.W. Kenyon.

The Secret of Christianity 6/14 Wednesday Wisdom
One day I saw that the secret of Christianity, the secret of evangelism, was that we were to have joy in our spirits.
You remember Acts 13:52, "And the disciples were filled with joy and with the Holy Spirit."
I Peter 1:8 tells us that it is joy unspeakable and full of glory.
That didn't mean much to me until the Spirit unveiled it to me. Then I saw the secret of this new thing that was to come with the New Creation.
"My joy I give unto you." This is somethng that the world can't take away from me. It is something indescribable that fills our spirit.
-- E.W. Kenyon.

The Secret of Joy 6/13 Tuesday Truth
...You may never have learned the secret of joy.
You say, "What do you mean by joy?"
John 15:10,11, "If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments and abide in his love."
Then we see in the ninth verse another secret, "Even as the Father hath loved me, I also have loved you: abide in my love."
We are to walk in love and live love, and to keep His commandments.
-- E.W. Kenyon.

Changing Realms 6/12 Monday Meditation
God's Nature is Life. Its first manifestations are Love, Joy, and Peace.
Satan's nature is spiritual death. Its first manifestations are hatred, murder and deceit. His whole realm is called darkness.
Colossians 1:12, "Who delivered us out of the power (authority) of darkness, and translated us into the kingdom of the Son of His love."
Notice the contrast. You have come out of the realm of Satan (spiritual death, hatred, and murder) into the realm of Life, of Light and Joy.

To Know Him 6/9 Friday Faith
Then I want to know Him. I want to please Him. I want to make His heart glad as that first Son did. What a beautiful life it is.
It is not struggling to be righteous. It is just struggling to make His heart glad.
-- E.W. Kenyon.

Your Relationship 6/8 Thursday Thoughts
This is your relationship as a child of God. You are in the Father, and the Father is in you. That is, He has imparted His Life to you. His very Nature has been given to you. You are as much His child as Jesus was.
When your heart can take this in, He will become more to you, and you will realize something of what you are to Him.
-- E.W. Kenyon.

The Father's Heart 6/7 Wednesday Wisdom
The Jews called Him God, and Jesus called Him Father. The Church today calls Him God. How few ever intellegently call Him Father. How lonesome He must be. He is a Father God with a Father heart, and His people call Him God -- just "Mr. God," like they should speak of a neighbor. Let us learn the secret of His Father heart.
-- E.W. Kenyon.

The Strength and Ability of God 6/6 Tuesday Truth
II Corinthians 2:14, "Thanks be unto God who always leadeth me in triumph in Christ."
That should be the song on the lips of every believer. There isn't any reason for your being a weakling. The strength and ability of God are yours.
-- E.W. Kenyon.

Above Par All the Time 6/5 Monday Meditation
Facebook showed me this quote from six years ago. I thought I would rerun it today.
"Yes, there is a power, a blessing, an assurance, a rest in the presence of the Holy Ghost. You can feel His presence and know that He is with you. You need not spend an hour without this inner knowledge of His holy presence. With His power upon you there can be no failure. You are above par all the time."
--Smith Wigglesworth
