kings heart soul
Can Christ be in thou heart and thou not know it? Can one king be dethroned and another crowned in thy soul and thou hear no scuffle?
wind soul secret
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.
judgement soul needs
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.
taken soul laziness
The longer a soul hath neglected duty, the more ado there is to get it taken up.
mercy-of-god soul saint
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.
harvest-time joy soul
Whoever hath a seed time of grace pass over his soul, shall have his harvest time also of joy.
kings humble soul
How can God stoop lower than to come and dwell with a poor humble soul? Which is more than if he had said, such a one should dwell with him; for a beggar to live at court is not so much as the king to dwell with him in his cottage.
humble soul be-humble
Humble souls are fearful of their own strength.
keys doors soul
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.
prayer waiting soul
Never was a faithful prayer lost. Some prayers have a longer voyage than others, but then they return with their richer lading at last, so that the praying soul is a gainer by waiting for an answer.
disabled doth law man sin
Sin disabled man to keep God's law, but it doth not enfranchise or disoblige him that he need not keep it
beyond fill men none though
Men are what they see and judge; though some do not fill up their light, yet none go beyond it.
death fear heaven hope master
Let your hope of heaven master your fear of death.
enemy sides armour
Our enemies are on every side, so must our armour be.
