More quotes by William Gurnall
Indeed all the saints are taught the same lesson - to renounce their own strength, and rely on the power of God their own policy, and cast themselves on the wisdom of God their own righteousness, and expect all from the pure mercy of God in Christ, which act of faith is so pleasing to God, that such a soul shall never be ashamed.
William Gurnall
A minister, without boldness, is like a smooth file, a knife without an edge, a sentinel that is afraid to let off his gun. If men will be bold in sin, ministers must be bold to reprove.
William Gurnall
And while God had work for Paul, he found him friends both in court and prison. Let persecutors send saints to prison, God can provide a keeper for their turn.
William Gurnall
Compare not thyself with those that have less than thyself, but look on those that have far exceeded thee.
William Gurnall
Nothing is more contrary to a heavenly hope than an earthly heart.
William Gurnall
We are justified, not by giving anything to God,--what we do,--but by receiving from God, what Christ hath done for us.
William Gurnall
The regenerating Spirit is compared to the wind. His first attempts on the soul may be so secret that the creature knows not whence they come, or whither they tend but, before he hath done, the sound will be heard throughout the soul.
William Gurnall
Prayer is nothing but the promise reversed, or God's Word formed into an argument, and retorted by faith upon God again.
William Gurnall
It is the saint's duty, and should be their care, not only to believe that God is Almighty, but also to strongly believe that His almighty power is engaged for our defense and help in all of our straits and temptations.
William Gurnall
God hath made it a debt which one saint owes to another to carry their names to a throne of grace.
William Gurnall
The mightier any is in the word, the more mighty he will be in prayer.
William Gurnall
Christ bears with the saints' imperfections well may the saints one with another.
William Gurnall
Humility is a necessary veil to all other graces.
William Gurnall
It is one thing to know a truth, and another thing to know it by unction.
William Gurnall
We need not borrow and take up sorrows upon use of the morrow, to make up our present load as we read of daily bread, so of a daily cross, Luke ix. M, which we are bid to take, not to make.
William Gurnall
We must not confide in the armour of God, but in the God of this armour, because all our weapons are only mighty through God.
William Gurnall
CEASE to PRAY and thou will BEGIN to SIN.
William Gurnall
If thou beest ever so exact in thy morals, and not a worshiper of God, then thou art an atheist.
William Gurnall
In heaven we shall appear, not in armour, but in robes of glory. But here these are to be worn night and day we must walk, work, and sleep in them, or else we are not true soldiers of Christ.
William Gurnall
Pray often rather than very long at a time. It is hard to be very long in prayer, and not slacken in our affections.
William Gurnall
