Thursday thoughts 12/1 What Prayer Can Mean

Now we can see what prayer can mean.


It isn't the old idea of getting on our knees and crying and begging.

It is a son coming into the Father's Presence for one of our brethren who has been injured, or for one who for some reason cannot come and make his appeal personally. We come on his behalf and ask for a blessing.

Or it may be that we are taking up the need of the great unsaved world.

We stand there in fulness of Fellowship and fulness of Joy to get a portion for another.

This is entering by the New and Living Way.

This is coming boldly to the Throne of Grace.

This is fellowshipping the Father.

This is visiting with Him.

It is not coming into His Presence as the Jews came into the presence of Jehovah, or as a sinner would approach, but we are coming as sons and daughters.

We are taking our place.



-- E. W. Kenyon

Sons Visiting their Father: Wednesday wisdom

Few of us have realized the fact that the Father's heart is hungry for the companionship of His children. His heart hunger is the reason for man and the reason for redemption, "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son."




That love impels Him to call us to Prayer.



That call is the proof of our ability to stand in His presence. It is the proof of His making us righteous enough to stand in His presence without reproof or condemnation.



It means that we are ever welcome to the Throne Room.



How few of us have ever realized this.



Is is sons visiting their Father.



It is children coming joyously into the presence of a Loving Parent.

One Hundred Preachers: Tuesday truth

Just got back from Thanksgiving vacation at our son's in Kansas. Wasn't planning to post a quote tonight, but I'm going to cheat and borrow one from a follower in my "Lep's Faith Quotes" Facebook group:


Gina Seitz Gibbs

‎"Give me one hundred preachers who fear nothing but sin, and desire nothing but God, and I care not a straw whether they be clergymen or laymen; such alone will shake the gates of hell and set up the kingdom of heaven on Earth."

~ John Wesley

You can't be conquered. 11/24 Thanksgiving Thoughts

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.
Grater is He that is in me that 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 -- your are a New Creation.
You are a branch of the vine.
You are an heir of God.

Build Your Own Faith Life 11/23 Wed. wisdom

This quote immediately follows yesterday's quote in E.W. Kenyon's In His Presence:



Here are some facts that will help you to begin to build your own faith life.



The Word is yours. It is as though there was no other person in the world but you, and this revelation had been given especially for you; you can say, "It is mine. No one has a better right to it than I have. Every promise is mine. Every statement of fact is mine."



When He said, "Whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he will give it to you," you can say, "He was talking to me.



"He is my Father; I am His child. This is His message to me, to help me in my earth walk."

Your Own Faith 11/22 Tuesday truth

It is vitally important to you that you have your own faith to fall back on in these hard places.

Everyone should hold his own faith life.

I find that the majority of people float on carelessly until they come to a dangerous place.  They are sick, or some loved one is sick, some financial or heart problem confronts them that may affect their entire future.  Then they frantically hunt for someone who can cry and sob and quote scriptures in what they call their "prayer" and it is of no avail because there is no faith back of it.

If there was faith there, there would be no crying and no sobbing.  There would be a rejoicing because they would know that whatever they ask of the Father in Jesus' Name, He will do it.

You talk . . . 11/21 Monday meditation

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. The 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, of 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 it 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.



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.



-- E. W. Kenyon
