LET NO MAN DECEIVE HIMSELF - John Calvin Quote by hymn Revival Via Flickr: LET NO MAN DECEIVE HIMSELF John Calvin (1509-1564) “Depravity never ceases in us, but is perpetually producing new fruits —those works of the flesh which we have already described, like the emission of flame and sparks from a heated furnace, or like the streams of water from an unfailing spring. For lust never dies, nor is altogether extinguished in men, till by death they are delivered from the body of death, and entirely divested of themselves.” “But let no man deceive himself, let no one flatter himself in his guilt, when he hears that sin always dwells in us. These things are not said in order that those who are already too prone to do evil may securely sleep in their sins, but only that those who are tempted by their corrupt inclinations may not faint and sink into despondency…” HymnRevival.com

Out Of The Heart - William Booth by hymn Revival Via Flickr: OUT OF THE HEART General William Booth (1829-1912) “…But here I may be asked the question, "Does not God bestow this wonderful deliverance from sin on the soul at conversion? Does He not sanctify and make it good and holy at the same time that He pardons its sins?" No, I reply; although a great work is done for the soul at conversion, its deliverance from sin at that time is not complete. It is true, that He does a great deal for a man when He makes that remarkable change. He destroys the bondage in which sin holds the transgressor; but the destruction of sin out of the heart and out of the life is not entire. Here let me try and show you the difference in the purification that comes to a man when he is fully cleansed. I will do this by setting forth the three different states into which the soul can come with respect to sin:… …In the First stage the Soul is Under Sin. In the Second stage the Soul is Over Sin. In the Third stage the Soul is Without Sin. In which stage are you, my Comrades? Settle it for yourselves. Have you got a Pure Heart? Examine yourselves. What is your reply?” www.HymnRevival.com

Spiritual Blindness - David Wilkerson by hymn Revival Via Flickr: Spiritual Blindness David Wilkerson (May 19, 1931 – April 27, 2011) “Does it matter to you today that God’s spiritual Jerusalem, the church, is now married to the world? That there’s such a coldness sweeping the land, so many people I know that were my friends and I see them go one by one, husbands and wives into such passivity, going to churches where they can find smooth messages, no longer wanting to hear anything of wrath or of correction. Some of my closest friends, I see them falling by the wayside. Is it nothing to you? Closer than that, does it matter about the Jerusalem that’s in our own hearts? The sign of ruin that’s slowly draining spiritual power and passion, blind to lukewarmness. Blind to the mixture that’s creeping in. You see when spiritual blindness comes very few recognize it, it’s the last recognized thing that happens to a child of God.” Hymn Revival

Enduring Temptations - George Whitefield by hymn Revival Via Flickr: ENDURING TEMPTATIONS George Whitefield (1714-1770) “Our glory does not consist in being exempted from, but in enduring temptations. “Blessed is the man, (says the apostle) that endures temptation;” and again, “Brethren, count it all joy, when you fall into divers temptations:” And in that perfect form our blessed Lord has prescribed to us, we are taught to pray, not so much to be delivered from all temptation, as “from the evil of it.” Hymn Revival

Arise Awake Awake - George Whitefield by hymn Revival Via Flickr: ARISE AWAKE AWAKE George Whitefield (1714-1770) “Watch carefully over thy heart, O Christian; and whenever thou perceives thyself to be falling into a spiritual slumber, say to it, as Christ to his disciples, “Arise (my soul) why sleepest thou?” Awake, Awake; put on strength, watch and pray, or otherwise the Philistines will be upon thee, and lead thee whither thou wouldst not…” Hymn Revival

Never Lay Down Our Spiritual Weapons - George Whitefield by hymn Revival Via Flickr: NEVER LAY DOWN OUR SPIRITUAL WEAPONS George Whitefield (1714-1770) “If we would therefore behave like good soldiers of Jesus Christ, we must be always upon our guard, and never pretend to lay down our spiritual weapons of prayer and watching, till our warfare is accomplished by death; for if we do, our spiritual Amalek will quickly prevail against us.” HymnRevival

Our Faith Should Fail Not - George Whitefield by hymn Revival Via Flickr: OUR FAITH SHOULD FAIL NOT George Whitefield (1714-1770) “Whilst we are on this side of eternity, it must needs be that temptations come; and no doubt, “Satan has desired to have us all, to sift us as wheat.” But wherefore should we fear? For he that is for us is by far more powerful than all that are against us. Jesus Christ, our great High-Priest, is exalted to the right hand of God, and there sits to make intercession for us, that our faith should fail not.” Hymn Revival
