Inspirational Quotes by Charles Spurgeon

“The voice of Jacob will do a little good if the hands be the hands of Essau.”

“Do you not see that the word, “God with us,” puts impossibility out of all existence?”

“There was never a revival of religion without a revival of his opposition. As soon as Ezra and Nehemiah begin to labor, Sanballat and Tobiah are stirred up to hinder them. What then? We are not alarmed because Satan hindereth us, for it is a proof that we are on the Lord's side, and are doing the Lord's work, and in his strength we shall win the victory, and triumph over our adversary.”

“Christ Jesus has no quarrel with his spouse. She often wanders from him, and grieves his Holy Spirit, but he does not allow her faults to affect his love. He sometimes chides, but it is always in the tenderest manner, with the kindest intentions: it is "my love" even then. There is no remembrance of our follies, he does not cherish ill thoughts of us, but he pardons and loves as well after the offence as before it.”

“Blessed are the waves that wash the mariner upon the rock of salvation!”

“It is by little procrastinations that men ruin their souls.”

“The song which thrills to heaven, and seeks to emulate seraphic strains, hath human discords in it. The prayer which moves the arm of God is still a bruised and battered prayer”

“Are you mourning over your own weakness? Take courage, for there must be a consciousness of weakness before the Lord will give you victory. Your emptiness—is but the preparation for your being filled; and your casting down—is but the making ready for your lifting up!”

“God is most angry when he shows no anger. God keep us from this mercy. This kind of mercy is worse than all other kind of misery.”

“There is nothing which can so assist you to walk towards heaven with good speed, as wearing the image of Jesus on your heart to rule all its motions.”

“Thus would I urge the reader to seek faith; but if he be unwilling, what more can I do? I have brought the horse to the water, but I cannot make him drink. This, however, be it remembered—unbelief is wilful when evidence is put in a man’s way, and he refuses carefully to examine it. He that does not desire to know, and accept the truth, has himself to thank if he dies with a lie in his right hand.”

“If we cannot prevail with men for God, we will at least endeavor to prevail with God for men.”

“¿Me ha dicho Él que Su plan es salvarme? Si es así, yo estoy seguro para siempre: “Mi nombre de las palmas de Sus manos No podrá borrar la eternidad, Grabado permanece en Su corazón, Con las marcas de la Gracia indeleble.” Yo no sé cómo se las arreglan algunas personas para ser felices cuando creen que un cristiano puede caer de la gracia. Debe ser una cosa muy loable en ellos poder sobrevivir cada día sin desesperar. Si yo no creyera en la doctrina de la perseverancia final de los santos, yo pienso que sería el más miserable de los hombres, pues no tendría ninguna base de consuelo. No podría decir, independientemente de la condición de mi corazón, que yo sería como una fuente de agua cuyo suministro no se iba a acabar. Más bien debería hacer la comparación con una fuente intermitente que se puede detener súbitamente, o un estanque acerca del cual yo no podría estar seguro que siempre estará lleno. Yo creo que los cristianos más felices y verdaderos son aquellos que no se atreven a dudar de Dios nunca, sino que aceptan Su palabra de la manera tan sencilla como es revelada y creen en ella y no hacen ninguna pregunta; simplemente tienen la certeza que si Dios lo ha dicho, debe ser así.”

“Wean our heart from every creature Thee to love and Thee alone.”

“ "To whom belongest thou?"   1 Samuel 30:13    No neutralities can exist in religion. We are either ranked under the  banner of Prince Immanuel, to serve and fight his battles, or we are  vassals of the black prince, Satan. "To whom belongest thou?”

“You must be conquerors through him who hath loved you, if conquerors at all. Our laurels must grow among his olives in Gethsemane.”

“A brother's sympathy is more precious than an angel's embassy.”

“Spurgeon used his wit to provoke laughter in private and in public. He said in one of his sermons, “If by a laugh I can make men see the folly of an error better than in any other way, they shall laugh.”

“Every place is now God's temple, and His people can as truly serve Him in their daily employments as in His house. They are to be always "ministering," offering the spiritual sacrifice of prayer and praise, and presenting themselves a "living sacrifice.”

“To trust him is the sure way to every blessing, and he is worthy of the most implicit confidence; but unbelief makes them prefer the cold porches of Bethesda to the warm bosom of his love.”
