Never Talk Failure 1/10 Thursday Thoughts

Never talk failure.
Never talk defeat.
Never for a moment acknowledge that God's ability can't put you over.

-- E. W. Kenyon

You Can't Be Conquered 1/9 Wednesday Wisdom

You can't be conquered.
Your spirit is whispering, "Nay, in all these things I am more than a conqueror."
Every disease is of the Adversary.
All kinds of sin are of the Adversary.
All opposition to the glad tidings is of the Adversary.
God and I are victors.
Greater is He that is in me than this opposition or this disease.
There is no need that is greater than my Lord.
There is no lack that He cannot meet.
This indomitable will that God has wrought in you cannot be overwhelmed, or conquered.
You remember what you are -- you are a New Creation.
You are a branch of the vine.
You are an heir of God.

--E.W. Kenyon

Faith for the Impossible 1/8 Tuesday Truth

You see, 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

Destroying or Filling Your Faith 1/7 Monday Meditation

And just that fast we finished the quotes from the A.B. Simpson book.
Next we are going to E.W. Kenyon.  I haven't quoted him since 2011.   Kenyon and Simpson were friends who often traded pulpits.  Kenyon is considered the forefather of the Word of Faith movement.

You talk of your doubts and your fears, and you destroy your faith.
You talk of the ability of the Father that is yours, and fill your lips with praise for answers to prayers that you have asked.  Its reaction upon the heart is tremendous:  Faith grows by leaps and bounds.
You talk about your trials and your difficulties, of your lack of faith, and your lack of money, and faith shrivels, loses its virility.
Your whole spirit life shrinks.
You study about what you are in Christ and then confess boldly.
You dare to act on the Word in the face of sense knowledge opposition.
Regardless of appearance, you take your stand; make your confession and hold fast to it in the face of apparent impossibilities.

--E.W. Kenyon

Supernatural Power 1/4 Friday Faith

The effect of the healing is to bring sinners to God.  It is not to set people wondering, but to set them repenting... The true effect of a gospel of supernatural power is always spiritual.  It results in the salvation of men and women.  The prophet Joel tells us that through these mighty signs and wonders will come the last great outpouring of the Spirit upon the world and the awakening of men before the Lord's return.

--A.B. Simpson

The Touch of Jesus 1/3 Thursday Thoughts

The touch of Jesus meant much to a leper.  It was long since a hand of love had touched the man.  Jesus' touch was not cold or mechanical.  He was "moved with compassion."  His heart of love and His very life were in it.  Yes, Christ helps us not because His promise compels Him, but because His love overflows toward us.

-- A.B. Simpson

This Is Faith 1/2 Wednesday Wisdom

Had the man said, "Lord, help my unbelief" without first saying "Lord, I believe," it would have been vain.  Had he said, "Lord, I believe" and stopped there, it would have been equally vain, for it would only have been his own willpower.  He put forth his will, and then he depended on Christ for the strength.  This is faith.

--A.B. Simpson
