John Bunyan quotes about
blessed journey men
Now while they were thus drawing towards the gate, behold, a company of the heavenly host came to meet them; to whom it was said by the other two Shining Ones, These are the men that have loved our Lord when they were in the world, and that have left all for his holy name; and he hath sent us to fetch them, and we have brought them thus far on their desired journey, that they may go in and look their Redeemer in the face with joy. Then the heavenly host gave a great shout, saying, 'Blessed are they that are called to the marriage supper of the Lamb.'
deliverance chains my-own
I preach deliverance to others, I tell them there is freedom, while I hear my own chains clang.
chosen
You have chosen the roughest road, but it leads straight to the hilltops.
prayer temptation lions
Temptations, when we meet them at first, are as the lion that reared upon Samson; but if we overcome them, the next time we see them we shall find a nest of honey within them.
prayer father men
Here is the life of prayer, when in or with the Spirit, a man being made sensible of sin, and how to come to the Lord for mercy; he comes, I say, in the strength of the Spirit, and crieth Father. That one word spoken in faith is better than a thousand prayers, as men call them, written and read, in a formal, cold, lukewarm way.
prayer thankfulness spirit
A sensible thanksgiving for mercies received is a mighty prayer in the Spirit of God. It prevails with Him unspeakably.
ungrateful forget saviour
He that forgets his friend is ungrateful to him; but he that forgets his Saviour is unmerciful to himself.
traitor allegiance given
I have given Him my faith, and sworn my allegiance to Him; how, then, can I go back from this, and not be hanged as a traitor?
jail ends butchery
I will stay in jail to the end of my days before I make a butchery of my conscience.
sorrow given
He hath given me rest by His sorrow, and life by His death.
fire soul world
Riches and power, what is there more in the world? For money answereth all things-that is, all but soul concerns. It can neither be a price for souls while here, nor can that, with all the forces of strength, recover one out of hell fire.
prayer forget mercy
In all your prayers forget not to thank the Lord for his mercies.
cities stupidity intelligence
I come from the Town of Stupidity; it lieth about four degrees beyond the City of Destruction.
prayer blessed heaven
To-despise the world is the way to enjoy heaven; and blessed are they who delight to converse with God by prayer.
