More quotes by George Whitefield
Man is nothing he hath a free will to go to hell, but none to go to heaven, till God worketh in him and you dishonour God by denying election. You plainly make salvation depend, not on God's 'free grace' but on Man's 'free will.'
George Whitefield
Let my name die everywhere, let even my friends forget me, if by that means the cause of the blessed Jesus may be promoted
George Whitefield
Ministers never write or preach so well as when under the cross.
George Whitefield
I was honored today with having a few stones, dirt, rotten eggs, and pieces of dead cat thrown at me
George Whitefield
I say salvation is the free gift of God. It is God's free grace, I preach unto you, not of works, lest anyone should boast. Jesus Christ justifies the ungodly. Jesus Christ passed by and saw you polluted with your blood and bid you live.
George Whitefield
I am never better than when I am on the full stretch for God.
George Whitefield
Lord Jesus, I am weary in Thy work, but not of it. If I have not yet finished my course, let me go and speak for Thee once more in the field, seal Thy truth, and come home to die.
George Whitefield
Whole days and weeks have I spent prostrate on the ground in silent or vocal prayer.
George Whitefield
I began to read the Holy Scriptures upon my knees, laying aside all other books, and praying over, if possible, every line and word...I would be so overpowered with a sense of God's Infinite Majestey, that I would be contrained to throw myself on the ground, and offer my soul as a blank in His hands, to write on it what He pleased.
George Whitefield
He [Jesus Christ] loves to see poor sinners coming to Him, He is pleased to see them lie at His feet pleading His promises and if you thus come to Christ, He will not send you away without His Spirit no, but will receive and bless you.
George Whitefield
It is very remarkable, that in the book of life, we find some almost of all kinds of occupations, who notwithstanding served God in their respective generations, and shone as so many lights in the world.
George Whitefield
Jesus Christ came into the world to save sinners, even persecutors, the worst of sinners: his righteousness is sufficient for them his Spirit is able to purify and change their hearts.
George Whitefield
It is God alone who can subdue and govern the unruly wills of sinful men.
George Whitefield
To preach more than half an hour, a man should be an angel himself or have angels for hearers.
George Whitefield
Study to know Him more and more, for the more you know, the more you will love Him.
George Whitefield
O poor New England! There is a deep laid plot against your civil and religious liberties, and they will be lost. Your golden days are at an end. You have nothing but trouble before you. . . . Your liberties will be lost.
George Whitefield
Believers keep up and maintain their walk with God by secret prayer. The spirit of grace is always accompanied with the spirit of supplication. It is the very breath of the new creature, the fan of the divine life, whereby the spark of holy fire, kindled in the soul by God, is not only kept in, but raised into a flame.
George Whitefield
I would rather wear out than rust out.
George Whitefield
God enabled me to speak with the demonstration of the Spirit, and with power.
George Whitefield
For it pleased God, after he had made all things by the word of his power, to create man after his own image.
