It Is The Opener Of The Heart

He That Comes To Christ Cannot, It Is True, Always Get On As Fast As He Would. Poor Coming Soul, Thou Art Like The Man That Would Ride Full Gallop Whose Horse Will Hardly Trot. Now The Desire Of His Mind Is Not To Be Judged Of By The Slow Pace Of The Dull Jade He Rides On, But By The Hitching And Kicking And Spurring As He Sits On His Back. Thy Flesh Is Like This Dull Jade, It Will Not Gallop After Christ, It Will Be Backward Though Thy Soul And Heaven Lie At Stake.

There Hath Not One Tear Dropped From Thy Tender Eye Against Thy Lusts, The Love Of This World, Or For More Communion With Jesus Christ, But As It Is Now In The Bottle Of God.

No Man, Without Trials And Temptations, Can Attain A True Understanding Of The Holy Scriptures.

The Truths That I Know Best I Have Learned On My Knees. I Never Know A Thing Well, Till It Is Burned Into My Heart By Prayer.

Prayer Will Make A Man Cease From Sin, Or Sin Will Entice A Man To Cease From Prayer.
