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.
