Some quotes by some wonderful men from the past
The Spirit and the Word must be combined. If I look to the Spirit alone without the Word, I lay myself open to great delusions
also. If the Holy Ghost guides us at all, He will do it according to the Scriptures and never contrary to them.”
― George Mueller,
“A brother with small earnings may ask,”Should I also give? My earning are already so small that my family can barely make ends meet.” My reply is, ”Have you ever considered that the very reason your earnings remain so small may be because you spend everything on yourself? If God gave you more, you would only use it to increase your own comfort instead of looking to see who is sick or who has no work at all that you might help them.”
― George Mueller,
“No one ought to expect to see much good resulting from his labors in word, and doctrine, if he is not much given to prayer and meditation.”
― George Müller
“I live in the spirit of prayer. I pray as I walk about, when I lie down and when I rise up. And the answers are always coming. Thousands and tens of thousands of times have my prayers been answered. When once I am persuaded that a thing is right and for the glory of God, I go on praying for it until the answer comes. George Mueller never gives up!”
― George Müller
Do all the good you can. By all the means you can. In all the ways you can. In all the places you can. At all the times you can. To all the people you can. As long as ever you can.”
― John Wesley
“We should be rigorous in judging ourselves and gracious in judging others.”
― John Wesley
“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
“Do you not know that God entrusted you with that money (all above what buys necessities for your families) to feed the hungry, to clothe the naked, to help the stranger, the widow, the fatherless; and, indeed, as far as it will go, to relieve the wants of all mankind? How can you, how dare you, defraud the Lord, by applying it to any other purpose?”
― John Wesley
“Light yourself on fire with passion and people will come from miles to watch you burn.”
― John Wesley
“You have one business on earth – to save souls.”
― John Wesley
“When a man becomes a Christian, he becomes industrious, trustworthy and prosperous. Now, if that man when he gets all he can and saves all he can, does not give all he can, I have more hope for Judas Iscariot than for that man!”
― John Wesley
“Leisure and I have parted company, we shall never meet again”.
― John Wesley
When the saint ceases to seek after holiness, purity, righteousness, truth; when he ceases to pray, stops reading the Word and gives way to carnal appetites, then it is that Satan comes.
— Smith Wigglesworth
This blessed Book brings such life and health and peace, and such an abundance that we should never be poor any more.
— Smith Wigglesworth
These quotes by Smith Wigglesworth and John Wesley and George Muller are fantastic Laurence. I was thinking about all these men only yesterday. They were all great movers with God in their generations, as we can be in ours.
Bless You and thank you for sharing this Brother.
Jason.
amen. Thanks Laurence!
