There are two types of affirmations that I wish you to notice. First, there is the affirmation with nothing behind it but my own will to make it good. It is based on a philosophy born of sense knowledge. That sense knowledge is a product of my own mind. If it be in regard to sin, I deny the existence of it. If it be regard to sickness, I deny the sickness has any existence. We see this in Christian Science.
All that I have to make these affirmations good is something that I am, or have, of myself. The Word of God has no place in this affirmation. I cannot say that greater am I than disease, or greater am I than this demand upon me, consequently, my affirmation becomes a failure.
The second type of affirmation is based on the Word of God.
You see the vast difference between an affirmation based upon your own will or philosophy and an affirmation backed up by God Himself.
The affirmations based upon sense knowledge philosophy have no more value or ability to make good than is in the will and mind of the maker of the affirmation.
But the affirmation that is based upon the living Word has God back of it to make it good.
E W Kenyon affirmed God's faithfulness in the face of all contrary circumstances. His affirmations were based on the character of God, the finished work of Christ and the promises of Scripture.

Affirmations - E W Kenyon
Source : E W Kenyon And His Message Of Faith (pages 243 - 244)
E W Kenyon believed strongly in the value of affirming God's word as a means of building faith.
Affirmation vs Negations
I know Satan is - But he is defeated
I know sin is - But for me it is put away
Satan has power - But it is broken
Diseases are - But by His stripes I have been healed
Weakness is - But He is our strength
Ignorance is - But He is our wisdom
Spiritual death is - But He is our LIFE
Human reason cannot know Him - We know Him through revelation.. Science denies His presence because it cannot find Him or know Him. Senses can't register spirit.
Genesis 1:1 stands through ages of denial - It solves mysteries of creation.
An affirmation cannot change error to truth.
A negation cannot make truth an error.
God performs all miracles of creation.
Calling Him a principle does not destroy fact.
God is a person who created the universe.

We should not need the evidence of the senses. Let us rest on the Word. Faith holds fast to the confession of the Word. Sense knowledge holds fast to the confession of physical evidence. If I accept physical evidence over against the Word of God, I nullify the Word as far as I am concerned.

Quoting F F Bosworth:
To the extent that we base faith on our improvement, or are affected by what we see or feel, instead of by the word of God alone, just to that extent ours is not real faith. To be occupied with what we see or feel is to exactly reverse the condition God lays down for us to follow. "Every one that looketh at it shall live," simply means that every one who, like Abraham, so occupies himself with God's promise that he is no longer affected by symptoms, "shall recover." It means, the word of God (not what we see or feel) shall be the basis of our faith. Our "looking unto the promise of God" is to be kept up until we are healed.
Romans 4:20-21
No unbelief or distrust made him waver (doubtingly question) concerning the promise of God, but he grew strong and was empowered by faith as he gave praise and glory to God.
Fully satisfied and assured that God was able and mighty to keep His word and to do what He had promised.
Numbers 23:19
God is not a man, that He should tell or act a lie, neither the son of man, that He should feel repentance or compunction [for what He has promised]. Has He said and shall He not do it? Or has He spoken and shall He not make it good?

Divine Healing - Andrew Murray
Source : E W Kenyon And His Message Of Faith
Quoting Andrew Murray:
Divine healing...calls us to turn our attention away from the body, abandoning ourselves - soul and body - to the Lord's care, occupying ourselves with Him alone.
The first thing to learn is to cease to be anxious about the state of your body. You have trusted it to the Lord, and He has taken the responsibility. If you do not see a rapid improvement immediately, but on the contrary symptoms appear to be more serious, remember that you have entered on a path of faith, and therefore you should not consider your body, but cling only to the living God.
To consider the body gives birth to doubts, while clinging to the promise of God and being occupied with Him alone gives entrance into the way of faith, the way of divine healing, which glorifies God.
Philippians 4:6
Do not fret or have any anxiety about anything, but in circumstance and in everything, by prayer and petition (definite requests), with thanksgiving, continue to make your wants known to God.
1 Peter 5:7
Casting the whole of your care [all your anxieties, all your worries, all your concerns, once and for all] on Him, for He cares for you affectionately and cares about you watchfully.
Psalm 55:22
Cast your burden on the Lord [releasing the weight of it] and He will sustain you; He will never allow the [consistently] righteous to be moved [made to slip, fall, or fail].

Divine Healing - Maria Woodworth-Etter
Source : E W Kenyon And His Message Of Faith
Quoting Maria Woodworth-Etter:
In seeking healing for our bodies, we are so apt to look at feelings, or symptoms; and believe we are healed just in proportion to the amount we see and feel. When in reality we are healed when we believe. "What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye received them, and ye shall have them." The work was all finished on Calvary. On Calvary's tree the remedy is found that will heal all sicknesses and diseases of the soul and body....Sometimes it is instantly realized in the body, but more often it is a gradual deliverance, requiring us to step out in faith before we see any signs of having it.
Faith looks away from the natural, from the things of the senses, and sees the fulfillment of the promise, through Christ's complete work on Calvary. It sees every need supplied through the atonement....We must cling to the promise of Jesus instead of looking at our feelings, or go by them, for our senses are false witness unto us when we step out in faith.
If we are looking and going by our feelings, we are believing them instead of believing God.
Philippians 4:19
And my God will liberally supply (fill to the full) your every need according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus.

What's The Matter With You?!?
Money is the conventional medium of exchange in the world we live in.
A man exchanged a huge sum of money for a piece of property as agreed in a contract. As he was about to move into the property, the seller disputed and insisted that the property has not been sold!
The man hammered his chest in agony and cried for justice to be done. He did this everyday with the seller laughing in his face!
It then dawned on him that he had the contract with him. The man showed the seller the contract. The seller refused to honor it. The man then wailed!
After a long while, the man came to his senses. He threatened legal action in the hope that the seller will relent. The seller laughed even louder!
The man was utterly grieved and contemplated suicide. Then he thought, what the heck, might as well proceed with the legal suit.
As the proceedings were in progress, the man worried himself sick everyday; unsure if he would win. The seller kept tauting him with suggestions of him losing the case. The poor man lived in fear everyday.
On the final day of the verdict, the judge lashed and whipped the seller. The property together with related damages were recovered to the man.
Interestingly, the man lodged an appeal to The Judge. His case? "Lord, the seller has told me that the property is still his!".
The Judge replied: " I have judged that the property is yours!"
But the seller says.....retorted the man!
The Judge says : "It's up to you who you want to believe."
What's the matter with this man?!?
It was only recently that I realise I am in possession of an even more effective medium of exchange?
The Word!
The Word says that I already possess everything in this world. This is sealed with the precious red liquid in an iron-clad covenant. The conman and accuser comes around and denies all that!
God says:
He will liberally supply (fill to the full) my every need according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:19
The Lord is my Shepherd and I shall not lack. Psalm 23:1
I have brought my case to the Judge through The Advocate.
I have won the case!
It is a done deal!
Iron-clad covenant sealed with the precious blood of our Lord Jesus!
Don't play play!!!
It is written that "God is not a man, that He should tell or act a lie, neither the son of man, that He should feel repentance or compunction [for what He has promised]. Has He said and shall He not do it? Or Has He spoken and shall He not make it good? Numbers 23:19
I am fully satisfied and assured that God is able and might to keep His word and to do what He has promised. Romans 4:21.
For He is alert and active, watching over His word to perform it. Jeremiah 1:12.
As far as I am concerned, what I confess, I possess!!!
I accept The WORD as final!
The conman wants to be whipped again!!! Let him have it!!!

The Great Exchange!
Who was He as a hero became a zero for our halo?
Who was rich but became poor; for us to rise above them all?
From the top He came below for the sake of our wretched souls!
Go to Him all you who are weary, and cast on Him all your worries!
For as sure as the sun will rise, so will He hear your cries!
For the Cross has done it all, the Great Exchange in Jesus Christ!
No Condemnation - No Depression
For there is now no condemnation for those who in Christ Jesus. Romans 8:1
By His stripes we are healed. Isaiah 52:5
By His wounds you have been healed. 1 Peter 2:24
These are just some of the powers that are available to you!
If you are in any kind of pain; be it physical or emotional, you have a cure that is readily available to you.
It is found in the Bible!
If you have tried all you know and all that the world has to offer and yet not found a cure to your problem (s), I entreat you to taste the goodness of the Bible for yourselves.
I can very assuredly tell you that the stripes of Jesus heal. I suffered a 97% block to one of my main heart arteries along with two others some years back. Today, I am healed and off any form of medication. I claimed the healing power by the stripes of Jesus!!!
This is the recording of my ballooning operations I had on 5 December 2006.
All thanks and praise and glory to Father God in the name of Jesus!!!

Mysteries : Stars
Merriam Webster Online dictionary defines stars as a natural luminous body visible in the sky especially at night.
Wikipedia describes a star as a massive, luminous ball of plasma that is held together by gravity. The nearest star to earth is the sun, which is the source of most of the energy on Earth. Other stars, for example the moon (lesser light) are visible in the night sky, when they are not outshone by the Sun (the greater light). [Words in bold and italics mine].
Ever gazed at stars? Ever had that experience of a deep sense of peace and comfort from gazing at stars?
There is something mysteriously profound and satisfying about star gazing. Is this mystery unfathomable?
I believe mysteries should be explained with the help of the creator of mysteries. I also believe the answer to the phenomena can be found in what I consider the book of mysteries: The Bible. (hereinafter referred to as the Book of Mysteries)
It is written in the book of mysteries that the Maker “made the two great lights – the greater light (the sun) to rule the day and the lesser light (the moon) to rule the night. He also made the stars”.
It is also written that the Maker said: “Let there be lights in the expanse of the heavens to separate the day from the night, and let them be signs and tokens of His provident care..”.
I believe with all my heart that our subconscious realm is able to relate to the wonderful promise of provident care, regardless of our circumstances. To me, it explains the deep sense of being cared and provided for; that deep sense of well-being that wells up within our innermost being when we gaze at the stars.
When we gaze at the stars, they bring to remembrance the promise of His provident care!
