ForewordMatthew 24:35 (Amplified)Sky and earth will pass away, but My words will not

pass away.

We are living in a perilous world that is slowly passingaway at an increasing rate. Global events have more

than substantiated this. Hence, instead of dwelling on

things that are passing away, I chose to promote those

things that are sure and permanent.

The period between my birthday and the day I return to

Jesus is called the dash. I believe that dash representsthe Book of Remembrance in heaven. We have a say

what that dash will be.

So, what will my dash or my Book of Remembrance

contain?

As I read the Bible, I am convinced that each and everybeloved child of God has been commissioned to share

the Gospel in His Word.

Hence, the purpose behind what I am doing.

About Dr E W Kenyon

Essek William Kenyon (1867 - 1948) was an evangelist, pastor, president of a Bible Institute,

author, songwriter and poet. He is best known for the numerous books that he authored that

are still in great demand today. Kenyons writings dramatically unfold the glorious truths of

the revelation given to the apostle Paul in simple, concise language. He wrote for the spirit

man, addressing the heart more than the head.

Understanding the Father-heart of God, who we are in Christ, and the authority and privileges

of the believer were central to Kenyons message. In his writings Kenyon calls the believer

up and out of the mire of traditional unbelief into the deep, rich treasures of our redemption in

Christ. Many lives have been transformed reading his simple, yet profound books.

The Early YearsBorn to a poor family in New England in 1867, he grew up with little education. When he

was dramatically converted in a Methodist prayer meeting at the age of 17, he immediately

began to enthusiastically win souls. An obvious gift and passion emerged for the lost, which

would govern his life. His gift as an evangelist began to bear abundant fruit. He also vowedhe would become an educator. As he encountered the struggles that often enter the life of a

new convert, however, Kenyon did not have the necessary foundation to stand. He had not

been discipled in the basic doctrines of the faith and older ministers had infected him with

doubt. Years later, he lamented the fact that he had not received the Holy Spirit in these early

years, either.

So E W Kenyon gradually slipped away from the Lord. He walked in darkness and broken

fellowship for about two and a half years. In 1893, newly married and living in Boston, he

and his bride attended a service at the Clarendon Street Baptist Church, then pastored by the

respected Bible teacher A J Gordon. At the service, the Spirit came mightily on Kenyon and

he forever gave himself back to the Lord.


8/30


He wanted to follow the pattern he had seen modeled by George Muller in trusting God for

everything. Restored to his Lord and to his calling, he immediately began to win souls to

Christ. Within a few months he was ordained among the Free Will Baptists and was pastoring

one of their churches.

He pastored various churches in New England for a few years, and then started an

independent work. He left the denomination so that he could trust the Lord completely for his

finances, unhappy with the ways money was raised in the churches. He wanted to follow thepattern he had seen modeled by George Muller in trusting God for everything.

As Kenyon continued to minister, many young people approached him about training. He

began to consider beginning a Bible school. He knew from his own bitter experience the

necessity of grounding new believers in the faith. He had fallen away because of the lack of

such grounding. Around the turn of the century, he opened the Bethel Bible Institute. Many

young people came to learn the Word of God and the life of faith. It was entirely a faith work.

No tuition was charged and the teachers were not paid a salary.

Everything was done through prayer. Well educated Bible teachers gave up good positions to

join Kenyon in training young people and live the life of faith. Missionaries were trained andsent from the Institute around the world and around the U.S.

The Later YearsKenyon left the East Coast in 1923 and relocated to Southern California. He preached for

many pastors in the area and he was extremely well received. Miracles of healing were

common when he preached. Eventually, Kenyon pastored a work in Los Angeles which grew

to about a thousand members. He had two books in print and a monthly publication. An

enthusiastic audience greeted him at each of his many weekly services.

Kenyon relocated a third time. This time he moved to the Northwest, eventually settling in

Seattle. He resumed radio ministry which he had begun while in Los Angeles and soon foundan appreciative audience for his teaching. Public meetings soon evolved into a church. New

Covenant Baptist Church, Seattle Bible Institute and The Herald of Life publication were

soon in full swing.

Kenyons writing ministry flourished in his Northwest years. He revised his first two books

and published many others. His daughter Ruth, finished compiling two near-completed books

after his death. These edifying books continue to refresh, encourage and illuminate those who

read them, challenging them to possess all that Christ purchased for them in His Finished

Work. If you havent read any of his writings, you will be blessed as you feast on his

unfolding of our great salvation.


9/30


DID E.W. KENYON BELIEVE IN UNIVERSAL SALVATION?

In an article in Charisma magazine (May 2002) highlights the controversy over Tulsa,

Oklahoma, pastor Carlton Pearson's embracing of a doctrine known as the "Gospel of

Inclusion." This teaching proclaims that everyone is saved, but just doesn't know it. In the

article, Pearson notes that he first started thinking about the inclusive doctrine after reading

E.W. Kenyon's writings.

Someone unfamiliar with Kenyon's writings might easily draw the conclusion that Kenyon

believed in Universal Salvation as this teaching is sometimes called.

So, did Kenyon believe and teach Universal Salvation?

No. He didn't.

Kenyon taught that the Finished Work of Christ paid the price for the sins of the whole world.

The merits of Christ's death, burial and resurrection were sufficient for every man woman andchild to be saved. But no one can be saved unless they personally repent and receive Christ as

their Lord and Savior.

E.W. Kenyon was ordained among the Free Will Baptists. The Free Will Baptists objected to

the Calvinist idea that Christ had died only for the elect - those whom the Calvinists believed

had been predestined to Salvation. The Free Will Baptists believed in what was known as

general atonement, which stated that Christ had died for everyone, but only those who

received Him would be saved.

Kenyon believed and taught this perspective throughout his life and ministry. Kenyon's firstbook, The Father and His Family, which was first published in 1916 while he was president

of Bethel Bible Institute, was the foundation for all his later writings. Chapter five of this

book is entitled Hell. When Kenyon prepared the second edition in 1937 he added some

quotes from other authors at the beginning of each chapter. For the chapter on Hell, Kenyon

chose a quote from the famous preacher Henry Ward Beecher. The quote ends, "When I

doubt the teaching on Hell, therefore it will be because I doubt the Divinity of Christ."

Kenyon did not believe in any type of Universal Salvation.


10/30


So where did Carlton Pearson get the impression that Kenyon was

teaching this concept? It is possible that Pearson misunderstood

Kenyon's teaching on the Legal and Vital sides of Redemption.

Kenyon taught, influenced by the apostle Paul, that our redemption

unfolds in two distinct aspects: The Legal and the Vital. The Legal

side is what Jesus accomplished for us by His death, burial and

resurrection. This is sometimes referred to as positional Truth. The

Vital side of redemption is what God does in us in the New Birth and

Infilling of the Spirit. This is the experiential side of our redemption.

In describing the Legal side of our Redemption, Kenyon would point

out that all that needs to be done for our salvation, healing,

deliverance from sin and victory in life has already been done legally.It is bought and paid for by the Finished Work of Christ. But none of

it is ours until we believe and receive it. So Kenyon might say all men

are saved potentially. But he never suggested that all men would be

saved experientially because the Bible doesn't teach that they will. In

chapter eight of The Father and His Family, entitled How Can God Be

Just, Kenyon points out that God has provided a way to be saved from

judgment so that Man is without excuse if he doesn't accept God's provision in Christ. God would be perfectly just to confine for

Eternity those who reject His offer of Redemption in His Son.

Clearly Carton Pearson failed to grasp Kenyon's full teaching on this

point.

Book Review

New Creation RealitiesE W Kenyon

Overview

We have found the secret that the psychologists long have

sought. It is the "inward man", it is the re-created spirit; it is

the part of man with which God deals. It is really an unveilingof what we are in Christ today; of what He says we are; what

He has made us to be in His great Redemptive work. The

Pauline Epistles must ever stand as the work of a super-

genius or a divine revelation. It lets us into the inner secret of

God's mighty purpose in the Incarnation. The four Gospels

give us the earth walk of the Master, but the Pauline Epistlesgive us a revelation of what happened on the cross, what

followed during the three days and three nights until Christ

was raised from the dead. We get the living picture of the

entire substitutionary work of Christ. It is the legal

background of our Redemption. This challenging book should

be studied by every earnest student of the Word.

Chapter 1: The Living Word

Our Perception of the Word

How we perceive the Word determines the reality of God in

our lives.

The Word is the Father speaking to us as though we are

sitting at His feet doing that one thing needful. [Luke 10:42].

The Word is designed by the Father to take Jesus place in His

absence.

Mans word is usually dead before the printing is completed.

Gods Word is impregnated with the very life of God, it is

Eternal.

According to Strongs Concordance, the Logos is the

written Word. Rhema is the blessed Holy Spirit bringingto our minds the written Word in times of need; making

the Logos Word the Rhema Word. We store up or

treasure up the Logos and the blessed Holy Spirit will

make it Rhema in the emergency of the hour.

14/30


Jesus said: According to your faith (the Word in me), so be it

with you.[Matthew 9:29]

According to what the Word is to me, so be It [The

Word] with me.

Like medication being infused into my blood stream, let

the Word get into my system and become a part of me.
http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=matthew%209:29&version=KJVhttp://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=matthew%209:29&version=KJVhttp://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=matthew%209:29&version=KJVhttp://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=matthew%209:29&version=KJV


15/30


The Word is a Person

The Word is living because it is a Person. It takes on

personality.

Hebrews 4:13

And no created thing is hidden from Him; all things lie open

and exposed before the eyes ofHim with Whom we have to

reckon.

The Word has eyes!

Reading the Word is making contact with Jesus Himself.

It imparts faith and builds love into our spirit.

The Bible feeds the inner man our spirit.

Romans 10:17 faith comes by hearing and hearing by the

Word of Christ.


16/30


1 Thessalonians 2:13

Wherefore I also give continual thanks to God because when

you heard from me the Spoken Word of God, you received it

not as the word of man, but, as it is in truth, the Word of God

Who Himself works effectually in you that believe.(Conybeare).

Note: The early Church did have the written Word.The Book of Thessalonians was the first NT Epistle Paul wrote.


17/30


Becoming Christ-like

Christianity is what the Word says about Redemption, the

Body of Christ or the New Creation.

We become Christ-like in the measure that the Word prevails.

The Word is Christ revealed. The Word is always NOW!

2 Corinthians 3:18 - And all of us, as with unveiled face,

[because we] continued to behold [in the Word of God] as in a

mirror the glory of the Lord, are constantly being transfigured

into His very own image in ever increasing splendor and from

one degree of glory to another; [for this comes] from the Lord

[Who is] the Spirit.

The Word imparts love to our spirit [Romans 5:5]. With that love,

we speak Gods Word. Speaking Gods Word with the love that

God first gave us makes His Word living, powerful and real. This

love is not conjured up with the human mind or effort. It is

imparted as a gift to us.
http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=romans%205:5&version=KJVhttp://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=romans%205:5&version=KJVhttp://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=romans%205:5&version=KJVhttp://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=romans%205:5&version=KJV


18/30


The Word Is Food

Matthew 4:4

Man shall not live on bread alone, but by every Word that

proceedeth out of the mouth of God.

Jeremiah 15:16

The Words were found, and I did eat them. Thy words were

unto me a joy and rejoicing of my heart.

Job 23:12

I have not gone back from the commandment of His lips. I

have treasured up the words of His mouth more than my

necessary food.

Scriptures say that the Word is to be taken as food.

Proverbs 4:22 -For they are life to those who find them, healing

and health to all their flesh.


19/30


The Word Is A Seed

When we read the Word, we are implanting a Living Thing in

the heart.

In Romans 10:8, it is called the Word of Faith. It is HisWord that gives faith in us. It is Gods faith expressed.

God works in us through the seed of Faith [His Word] that He

planted in us. God is a faith God and uses words to do thing.

Hebrews 11:3

By faith we understand that the worlds have been framed bythe Word of God.

Romans 10:17 - So faith comes by hearing [what is told], and

what is heard comes by the preaching [of the message that

came from the lips] of Christ (the Messiah Himself).


20/30


God created the Universe with words. What shall He be not able

to create in us?

This is how God works effectually within us to carry out His

purpose through His Word. [Philippians 2:13].
http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Philippians+2:12-14&version=AMPhttp://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Philippians+2:12-14&version=AMPhttp://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Philippians+2:12-14&version=AMPhttp://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Philippians+2:12-14&version=AMP


21/30


Loving The Word is Loving God

John 14:15

If ye love Me, ye will keep My commandments [The Word] .

He that loveth Me and keepeth My Word, he it is, you see,

that the Father loves.

In Joshua 1:8, God told Joshua to meditate in His Word day

and night, that is, to live in It.

In John 8:31, Jesus said to Abide in My Word.

John 1:1 - IN THE beginning [before all time] was the Word

(Christ), and the Word was with God, and the Word was God

Himself.


22/30


When I make Gods Word my treasure, then truly I will love God

with all my heart, soul and mind. [Mark 12:30].

Just look at how much God loves us, His treasure. [1 John 4:10].

Luke 12:34 - For where your treasure is, there will your heart will

be also.

This is not the same as Where your heart is, there your treasure

will be

Make Gods Word my treasure, and my heart will follow.

It is not make Gods Word my heart, there my treasure will

follow.
http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=mark%2012:30&version=AMPhttp://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=mark%2012:30&version=AMPhttp://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1%20john%204:10&version=AMPhttp://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1%20john%204:10&version=AMPhttp://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1%20john%204:10&version=AMPhttp://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1%20john%204:10&version=AMPhttp://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=mark%2012:30&version=AMP


23/30


No one can serve two masters. [Matthew 6:24]. Cannot love the

world by minding the cares and anxieties and love the Word.

It brings to mind the Parable of Parables [Mark 4]. If we mind the

Word, we cannot be minding other things. If we mind other

things, we choke the Word. And when the Word is choked, so

are the blessings in the Word. Does it therefore mean that we

just seek back and do nothing and be irresponsible?

God forbids! But seek first Gods kingdom and His

Righteousness and all these things shall be added to you.

[Matthew 6:33].

24/30


The Word Is Jesus Authority

The Word has the same authority as if Jesus is standing in the

room and speaking it.

How did Jesus calm the storm? How did Jesus heal the sick? How

did Jesus multiply the little to feed multitudes with plenty of

leftovers?

He spoke.

Today, He is speaking His Word in our lives and situations throughthe Bible.

Are you lacking in any way?

Then speak His Word. Give it voice! It is the same as Jesus

speaking It!

The Lord is my Shepherd. I shall not lack. [Psalms 23:1].

Then stand still and see the salvation of the Lord. [Exodus 14:13,

Ephesians 6:13].

25/30


Jesus is the Armour of God

Ephesians 6:13-17 (KJV)

13Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God,

that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, andhaving done all, to stand.

14Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with

truth, and having on the breastplate ofrighteousness;

15And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospelof peace;

16Above all, taking the shield offaith, wherewith ye

shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.

17And take the helmet ofsalvation, and the sword of

the Spirit, which is the word of God:

The entire armour of God described in Ephesians 6:13-17 refers

to Jesus! Not convinced? Lets look at the Scriptures together.


26/30


Truth

Jesus is the Truth.

John 1:14

And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory,

the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full ofgrace and truth.

John 1:17

For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.

Righteousness

Jesus is Righteousness.

2 Corinthians 5:21

For He hath made Him to be sin for us, Who knew no sin; that we might be

made the righteousness of God in Him.


27/30


Peace

Jesus came to reconcile us to the Father.

Romans 5:1

Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord

Jesus Christ:

Faith

Jesus is our Faith.

Hebrews 12:2

Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that

was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at

the right hand of the throne of God.


28/30


Salvation

Jesus is our salvation.

Romans 10:9-10

9That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in

thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.

10For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth

confession is made unto salvation.

Word of God

Jesus is the Word.

John 1:1

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was

God.


29/30


Conclusion

By the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, we hope we have been able to achieve our mission of spreading the

Gospel in His Word.

It is our desire that you make feeding on the Word of

God the thing of first importance in your life.

We may not agree on anything.

So long as Jesus is our Lord and Saviour, we are on

common ground.

Whatever differences in opinions we may have in this

world, we remain one in Him. And when Jesus returns

to bring us home, we shall laugh at these differencesover coffee.

Grace and Peace be with you!

In Jesus Name.

Amen!

Grace and Peace be with you!
