Old Things Passed Away 6/1 Tuesday Truth
"The old things have passed away."
What are the old things? They are failure, weakness, fear, a sense of unworthiness. They have stopped being.
What are you? You are a branch of Christ. You are a part of Christ just as the branch is a part of the vine. You are a part of Christ, and Christ is God. (John 15:5)
The same wonderful characteristics that were manifested in the earth walk of Jesus now can be manifested in you.

You Are His and He Is Yours 7/31 Monday Meditation
"Now in all these things we are more than conquerors" (Romans 8:37), and we are more than conquerors through Him that loved us.
There is no earthly power or demoniacal [demonic] power that can separate us from the Father love that was in Jesus. You are His own, and He is yours.

A Third Favorite Classic Quote 7/28 Friday Faith
The reason the world is not seeing Jesus is because Christian people are not filled with Jesus. They are satisfied with weekly meetings and occasionally reading the Bible, and sometimes praying. Beloved, it God has hold of you by the Spirit, you will find that there is an end of everything and a beginning of God, so that your whole body becomes seasoned with a divine likeness of God.
-- Smith Wigglesworth

Another Favorite 7/27 Thursday Thoughts
The only way you can fail is if you stop praying. In a world full of uncertainties and unpredictability you have to trust God. The world has become more of a polyglot, more confused. Prayer is the only way out of your troubles.Get into a position [habit] of prayer.

My All-Time Favorite Quote 7/26 Wednesday Wisdom
For a few days I'm going to repeat some favorite quotes from the past, as I do on occasion. This is my all-time favorite.
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.

Come Boldly 7/21 Friday Faith
I WILL NOT BE POSTING ON MONDAY OR TUESDAY OF NEXT WEEK.
Can't you see what it means to have a High Priest, a Mediator, an Intercessor, an Advocate, and a Lover in the highest seat of authority in the universe? He ever lives to make intercession for you.
Now He bids you to come boldly to the throne of grace. That means that you are to come into His presence with your needs. You are in the throne room, and the Father that loved you and gave His Son up for you is on the throne. The Man who loved you and gave Himself up for you is seated by His side, there to love you. . . .
Can't you see what it can mean to you to come into a throne room under such conditions? There is your Advocate. There is your Savior. There is your Lord on your side.
Can't you hear Him say, "How will He not with Him freely give you all things?"

He Remains Faithful 7/20 Thursday Thoughts
The Father's love is manifest in the intercessory work of His Son. He is not only our High Priest and Savior and Mediator, but whenever we sin and our fellowship is broken, we have Someone at the right hand of the Father Who ever remains faithful.
I John 1:9, "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness."
-- E.W. Kenyon

His Intercession 7/19 Wednesday Wisdom
His ministry of intercession is little appreciated by the believer. In every temptation, in every trial,, and at every hard place, Jesus ever lives to pray for us. That is the reason for our victory.
Paul says in Philippians 4:13, "I can do all things in him that strengtheneth me."
-- E.W. Kenyon.

Mediator and Intercessor 7/17 Tuesday Truth
Man not only needs a Mediator, but after he becomes a Christian, he is living in a world dominated by Satan and needs an Intercessor, someone who will pray for him, whose prayers are always heard.
Hebrews 7:25, "Wherefore also he is able to save to the uttermost them that draw near unto God through him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them."
-- E.W. Kenyon.

Exercise in the Word 7/17 Monday Meditation
If you like these quotes from the early "Pentecostal Pioneers", you might want to join the following Facebook groups for more quotes and revival history: Smith Wigglesworth, Maria Woodworth-Etter, John Graham Lake, Jesus Saves TV.
Paul wanted Christ to be magnified in his body through the things he did and said. [Philippians 1:20] He wanted Jesus to be magnified, made attractive, so that men would want Him. This can only come as we exercise ourselves in the Word.

God-Minded 7/14 Friday Faith
Our spirits can be so developed, so strengthened, that we will become God-minded, Word-minded. In the morning our minds unconsciously go to Him for guidance and wisdom for the day. We have exercised ourselves in the Word until our whole being is saturated with it..
-- E. W. Kenyon.

Doing the Word 7/13 Thursday Thoughts
Committing the Word to memory does not do it; learning the history of the books of the Bible does not do it; learning the Hebrew and the Greek words will not do it. Only one thing will do: my doing the Word, practicing it, living it in my daily life, trusting in it, acting on it.
-- E.W. Kenyon.

Feeding on the Word 7/12 Wednesday Wisdom
Just as we have exercised ourselves physically to build up muscle, as we have exercised mentally to build up memory and store our minds with facts and data, so we now should build up our Love life, build up our wisdom life, build up our creative energy.
How? By feeding on the Word of God. The Word is God's wisdom, God's ability, God's very Life. As I feed on it, it cultivates, strengthens, and builds up my spirit. It builds faith into me. It builds God's ability into me. It builds into me every attractive thing that you saw in Jesus's life.
-- E.W. Kenyon.

Sons of God 7/11 Tuesday Truth
We are the sons of God.
I John 3:2, "Beloved, now are we the sons of God.
John 1:13, "Who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God."
This should forever settle the question of whether there is anything that an unsaved man can do to give to himself the New Birth outside of his acceptance of Christ as his Saviour and Lord.
-- E. W. Kenyon.

His Workmanship 7/10 Monday Meditation
Ephesians 2:10, "We are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus."
When you know that you have been recreated by God Himself, you know that the work is satisfactory to the Author of the work.
It gives you a real foundation for faith.
-- E.W. Kenyon.

Christianity Is . . . 7/7 Friday Faith
Christianity is a relationship between the Father and His Family.
It is not a religion.
It is not having your sins forgiven.
It is not joining the church.
It is being made a New Creation in Christ; it is being born from above.
It is receiving the Nature and Life of God.
It is being united with Christ.
-- E. W. Kenyon.

Our Reasoning Faculties 7/6 Wednesday Wisdom
We ought to understand that the Father does not reveal Himself to our reasoning faculties but to our spirits.
Our reasoning faculties can only apprehend the things that the five senses convey to them.
Outside of that, the reasoning faculties are unfruitful.
When our spirits are recreated they receive Eternal Life.
We can know the Father. We can enjoy fellowship with Him through His Word. We have become so utterly identified with Him, so utterly one with Him, that the "vine and the branch" is the only suitable illustration of this new and beautiful relationship.
-- E.W. Kenyon.

His Ability Is Our Ability 7/4 Tuesday Truth
I WILL NOT BE POSTING FOR JULY 5.
Ephesians 1:19-23, "And what the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who believe, according to that working of the strength of his might, which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and made him to sit at his right hand in the heavenly places."
That ability is our ability. That ability is the Spirit's, who dwells within you, and in the Name that He has given us to use in our daily conflict with the enemy.
-- E.W. Kenyon.
