EW Kenyon A Tribute

Essek William Kenyon (1867-1948) was considered one of the all-time

greatest of God's teachers of the 19th and 20th century. He did more to
teach and spread the truth of Christ's finished work on Calvary than
perhaps any other ministry in the 20th century. Although he spent many
years as an evangelist, and then a pastor, he was known as the teacher of
teachers. Over the air on his radio broadcasts, he was known as "the faith
builder."
Every preacher and teacher has his mentors. For E.W. Kenyon, these were
the leading evangelical preachers of his day: D.L. Moody, the American
evangelist; Dr. A.J. Gordon, under whose ministry he rededicated his life to
God; Dr. A.T. Pierson, one of the strongest voices for evangelism and an
associate of D.L. Moody; and others of Moody's "warriors" such as R.A.
Torrey, S.D. Gordon, A.B. Simpson, G. Campbell Morgan, Andrew Murry,
F.B. Meyer. These were all household names in the late 1800s and early
1900s. Articles by many of these writers can be found in our Library.
Having a long and fruitful ministry for over 50 years, the Word of God was
taught by this devoted man of God with unusual clarity, as deep and
profound revelations of the Word were preached and taught in the Divine
simplicity of the Gospel. His sermons were filled with incredible love,
inspiration and Divine anointing, and were all geared towards increasing
the faith of the hearers.
In the days when many holiness pioneers were teaching sanctification as a
second work of grace, Kenyon boldly heralded the biblical truth of
sanctification by the finished work of Jesus Christ alone. This won a
decisive victory for God's people. Kenyon's ministry has inspired millions to
believe God for healing, deliverance and salvation all upon the finished
work which our Lord Jesus Christ accomplished for us on the cross!
E.W. Kenyon was a man of God who lived a devoted life to God above
reproach. When faced with the seemingly impossible adversities of life, he
conquered them all confidently, and victoriously by his simple faith in the
Word of God. Kenyon's ministry needs no other vindication when we realize
that his faith teachings have produced the exact same transformations in
his converts. It is no small surprise that his ministry continues today, 50
years after his death, through his writings -- which are producing the same
faith results in those who read his books! Kenyon's biblical teachings place
us into the realm of a superman! John 14:12, "He that believeth upon Me,
the works that I do, shall he do also" becomes a living reality!
 Kenyon's life and ministry was so faith inspiring and uplifting that many
ministries today emulate his life and faith teachings! The words and
teachings of E.W. Kenyon are quoted by more ministers who teach faith
and healing today than perhaps any other minister of the 20th Century!
Some have suggested this is a negative thing, but this is a not a negative
thing, but a positive one, because it clearly shows how one man of God has
influenced an entire generation for God!
The Apostle Paul continually reminded his disciples to say just what he
said, because what he said was Scriptural! E.W. Kenyon was used by God
to lead men back to faith in the Word of God. Men of God such as F.F.
Bosworth, who had a notable healing ministry throughout his life,
continually referred to and applied E.W. Kenyon's teachings throughout his
entire life. John G. Lake was also fond of E.W Kenyon's teachings.
The great healing revivalist T.L. Osborn considered E.W. Kenyon one of the
greatest exponents and teachers on the subject of Divine Healing in his
book "Healing The Sick." E.W. Kenyon influenced a generation for God!
In a day when very little real faith in the Word of God existed, E.W. Kenyon
began teaching people how to have faith based upon the Integrity of the
Word of God alone.
He taught and demonstrated to people of all walks of life, how to live by
faith in the Word of God, based upon the sole foundation of the Authority of
God's Word. He dominated and utterly mastered all circumstances
supernaturally by his simple faith in God's Word. You can too! Kenyon's
teachings will make your Bible a new Book!
If you have never read any of E.W. Kenyon's books, I strongly encourage
you to order some of E.W. Kenyon's books [see below], for your faith will be
strengthened, Jesus will become an absolute personal Reality to you, and
you will truly learn what is is to walk by faith in God's Word! His books will
teach you how to have your own faith life, how to be a master of
circumstances, how to pray for sick folk and see instant results, and most
of all, how to have a close and deep relationship with God through our Lord
Jesus Christ!
