Unless God has raised you up for this very thing, you will be worn out by the opposition of men and devils. But if God be for you, who can be against you? Are all of them together stronger than God? O be not weary of well doing!

More quotes by John Wesley
The longer I live, the larger allowances I make for human infirmities. I exact more from myself and less from others.
John Wesley
God's command to pray without ceasing is founded on the necessity we have of His grace to preserve the life of God in the soul, which can no more subsist one moment without it, than the body can without air.
John Wesley
As to matters of dress, I would recommend one never to be first in the fashion nor the last out of it.
John Wesley
May we not say, that true zeal is not mostly charitable, but wholly so? That is, if we take charity in St. Paul's sense, for love the love of God and our neighbour. For it is a certain truth, (although little understood in the world), that Christian zeal is all love. It is nothing else.
John Wesley
If we cannot think alike, at least we may love alike and can anything but love beget love?
John Wesley
As theories increased, simple medicines..were forgotten, at least in the politer nations. ...Medical books, were immensely multiplied,...(towards) an abstruse science, quite out of reach of ordinary men.
John Wesley
Is it not common to say to a child, 'Put your finger in that candle, can you bear it even for one minute?' How then will you bear Hell-fire? Surely it would be torment enough to have the flesh burnt off from only one finger what then will it be to have the whole body plunged into a lake of fire, burning with brimstone?
John Wesley
Money never stays with me. It would burn me if it did. I throw it out of my hands as soon as possible, lest it should find its way into my heart.
John Wesley
Get all you can without hunting your soul, your body, or your neighbor. Save all you can, cutting off every needless expense. Give all you can. Be glad to give, and ready to distribute laying up in store for yourselves a good foundation against the time to come, that you may attain eternal life.
John Wesley
Reading Christians are growing Christians. When Christians cease to read, they cease to grow.
John Wesley
The wicked will gnaw their tongues for anguish and pain they will curse God and look upwards. There the dogs of hell, pride, malice, revenge, rage, horror, despair, continually devout them.
John Wesley
I have never known more than fifteen minutes of anxiety or fear. Whenever I feel fearful emotions overtaking me, I just close my eyes and thank God that He is still on the throne reigning over everything and I take comfort in His control over the affairs of my life.
John Wesley
The Church recruited people who had been starched and ironed before they were washed.
John Wesley
Nothing short of God can satisfy your soul.
John Wesley
Having, First, gained all you can, and, Secondly saved all you can, Then give all you can.
John Wesley
Until my work on this earth is done, I am immortal. But when my work for Christ is done ... I go to be with Jesus
John Wesley
Passion and prejudice govern the world only under the name of reason.
John Wesley
People who wish to be offended will always find some occasion for taking offense.
John Wesley
God would first, by this inspiration of his Spirit, have wrought in our hearts that holy love without which none can enter into glory.
John Wesley
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
