Whatever I Ask 12/12 Monday Meditation

If you say over and over again, "I know whatever I ask of the Father in Jesus' Name, He will give it to me," after a while that truth will permeate your consciousness until it becomes a literal, absolute fact in you. Men and women will come to you for prayer. They have not learned the secret. They haven't any faith of their own. But they have faith in your faith, because you have learned the secret of confessing to be what God says you are. -- E.W. Kenyon

Your Confession 12/9 Friday Faith

You never rise above your confession. If you always confess your failings, your weaknesses, your lack of ability, your weakness and your lack of ability will rule you. If you say, "I can do all things in Him who strengthens me," you will rise to the level of it. You never enjoy anything beyond your confession. Your faith is never stronger than your confession... If you dare say, "I am a branch of the vine, and the same life and love that flows in the vine flows in me, " you will rise to the level of your confession. -- E. W. Kenyon.

Pray All Night?? 12/8 Thursday Thoughts

But you say, "Don't you think sometimes it is necessary to pray all night? Jesus did." If we knew the nature of Jesus' prayers during those night sessions that might help us. If you have needs enough that it would take a whole night to cover them, then you should take the night. "Don't you think that we should keep on praying until our prayer is answered?" No, I think instead we might remind Him and thank Him for it. Unbelief becomes insistent, thinking that by works of some kind it can force God to answer. We are going to act on His Word just as we act on the word of any firm or company. We are going to act on His Word simply as intelligent men and women act on the word of a bank or any other institution that has a record of honesty. Remember, God cannot lie. He watches over His Word to make it good. The man that trusts Him is absolutely as safe as Jesus was when He trusted His Father. -- E.W. Kenyon.

Real Prayer 12/7 Wednesday Wisdom

God is the strength of our life. What more can we ask? Can't you see what this means as a background for a prayer life? Can't you hear the Spirit whispering, "Nay, in all these thing we are more than conquerors?" Real prayer is inspired of the Spirit, backed up by the Living Word. Then it should be a real sharing with Him. -- E. W. Kenyon.

The Throne Room 12/6 Tuesday Truth

And if we are in His will, then we are certain that our prayers are answered. We don't try to force Him to answer them. We don't tease Him like some children do their parents until they wear their parents out... We come into the throne room, that room of love gifts, into the very presence of the Father, and we talk things over with Him. -- E.W. Kenyon.

Hope 12/5 Monday Meditation

Hope is always future. Faith is always now. Someone comes to me and asks me to pray for them, and I say, "Was the prayer answered?" And they answer, "I hope it was." Then I know it will not be answered, and I frankly tell them. "No, the Hoper's prayers are seldom answered." Hope is a beautiful thing when it is about Heaven, or the coming back of the Master, and everything that belongs to the future. But for present-tense practices and present-tense life, hope is a dangerous enemy. It is beautifu, but it is dangerous! The Hoper is always a failure. It is the Believer that is a success -- and believeing, you remember, is acting on the Word. -- E.W. Kenyon.

Christianity Is Our Confession 12/2 Friday Faith

You see, Christianity is our Confession. Hebrews 4:14 He says, "Let us hold fast our confession." What is our Confession? Why, that God is our Father, we are His Children, we are in His Family. It is a Confession that our Father knows what our needs are and has made provision to meet every one of them. It is a Confession of the finished work of Christ, of what I am in Him, and what He is in me. It is a Confessiion that "greater is He that is in me, than he that is in the world." It is my confesion that my God does suppply every need of mine according to His riches in glory. It is my Confession that when I pray, the Father hears my prayer and answers me. -- E.W. Kenyon.
