Humble souls are fearful of their own strength.
William Gurnall
Image
It is the image of God reflected in you that so enrages hell it is this at which the demons hurl their mightiest weapons.
William Gurnall
Image
The chains of love are stronger than the chains of fear.

It is not only our duty to pray for others, but also to desire the prayers of others for ourselves.
William Gurnall
Image
Godliness is the child of truth, and it must be nursed by its own mother.
William Gurnall
Image
He that loves the Word and the purity of its precepts cannot turn traitor.
William Gurnall
Image
Satan will be ready to help forward such thoughts as a fit medium to lift thee up , and slacken thy care in duty for the future. Such discoveries do indeed bear witness to the truth of thy grace, but not to the degree and measure of it. The weak child may be, yea, is, oftener in the lap than the strong.

Least doers are the greatest boasters.
William Gurnall
Image
God is almighty to pardon, but He will not use His power for a shameless sinner. He is able to save and help in time of need, but if you have not repented, how can you expect His aid? The same power God expends on the believer's salvation will be spent on your damnation, for He has bound Himself under oath to destroy every impenitent soul.

Christ bears with the saints' imperfections well may the saints one with another.
William Gurnall
Image
Christ is the door that opens into God's presence and lets the soul into His very bosom, faith is the key that unlocks the door but the Spirit is He that makes this key.
William Gurnall
Image
Peace of conscience is nothing but the echo of pardoning mercy.
William Gurnall
Image
Say not that thou hast royal blood in thy veins say not that thou art born of God if thou canst not prove thy pedigree by daring to be holy!
William Gurnall
Image
Prayer is nothing but the promise reversed, or God's Word formed into an argument, and retorted by faith upon God again.
William Gurnall
Image
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
Image
Praying is the same to the new creature as crying is to the natural. The child is not learned by art or example to cry, but instructed by nature it comes into the world crying. Praying is not a lesson got by forms and rules of art, but flowing from principles of new life itself.
William Gurnall
Image
Humility is a necessary veil to all other graces.
William Gurnall
Image
Our enemies are on every side, so must our armour be.
William Gurnall
Image
Many lose heaven because they are ashamed to go in a fool's coat thither.
William Gurnall
Image
To forsake sin, is to leave it without any thought reserved of returning to it again.
