Every fat (vat) must stand upon its bottom.
John Bunyan
Image
You can do more than pray after you have prayed, but you cannot do more than pray until you have prayed. Pray often, for prayer is a shield to the soul, a sacrifice to God, and a scourge to Satan.
John Bunyan
Image
Some said, John, print it others said Not so. Some said, It might do good others said, No.
John Bunyan
Image
The heart must be beaten or bruised, and then the sweet scent will come out.
John Bunyan
Image
I have given Him my faith, and sworn my allegiance to Him how, then, can I go back from this, and not be hanged as a traitor?
John Bunyan
Image
Afflictions make the heart more deep, more experimental, more knowing and profound, and so, more able to hold, to contain, and beat more.
John Bunyan
Image
Prayer is an ordinance of God, that must continue with a soul so long as it is on this side glory.
John Bunyan
Image
In prayer, it is better to have heart without words, than words without heart. Prayer will make a man cease from sin, or sin entice a man to cease from prayer. The spirit of prayer is more precious than treasures of gold and silver. Pray often, for prayer is a shield to the soul, a sacrifice to God, and a scourge for Satan.

John Bunyan
Image
Fullness to such a burden is That go on pilgrimage Here little, and hereafter bliss, Is best from age to age.
John Bunyan
Image
For to speak the truth, there are but few that care thus to spend their time, but choose rather to be speaking of things to no profit.
John Bunyan
Image
The Lord uses his flail of tribulation to separate the chaff from the wheat.
John Bunyan
Image
You have not lived today until you have done something for someone who can never repay you.
John Bunyan
Image
Now may this little Book a blessing be To those that love this little Book, and me: And may its Buyer have no cause to say, His money is but lost, or thrown away.
John Bunyan
Image
I live because I am a Warrior and because I wish one day to be in the company of [She] for whom I have fought so hard
John Bunyan
Image
I preach deliverance to others, I tell them there is freedom, while I hear my own chains clang.
John Bunyan
Image
Without the Spirit man is so infirm that he cannot, with all other means whatsoever, be enabled to think one right saving thought of God, of Christ, or of his blessed things.
John Bunyan
Image
One leak will sink a ship: and one sin will destroy a sinner.
John Bunyan
Image
Beware of resting in the word of the kingdom, without the spirit and power of the kingdom of that gospel, for the gospel coming in word only saves nobody, for the kingdom of God or the gospel, where it comes to salvation, is not in word but in power.
John Bunyan

There is enough sin in my best prayer to send the whole world to Hell.
John Bunyan
