E W Kenyon - The Hidden Man (Affirmation)

Source : E W Kenyon And His Message Of Faith (page 243-244)

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.

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.

Freedom Perfect!

I soar like an eagle because I am free!
I am free as I can be for Christ lives in me!
I am free from all sickness;
I am free from all pain;
I am free from all poverty;
For my Abba, He told me!

How to be free just like me?
With wealth as vast as the sea?

You can be! You can be!
Just confess His Word and you will see!
Honor His Word and He will honor thee!
This comes with a blood sealed guarantee!

It’s really as simple as ABC!

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!
