“There was a day when I died; died to self, my opinions, preferences, tastes and will; died to the world, its approval or censure; died to the approval or blame even of my brethren or friends; and since then I have studied only to show myself approved unto God.”
George Mueller (Evangelist, 1805 – 1898)
“I saw more clearly than ever, that the first great and primary business to which I ought to attend every day was, to have my soul happy in the Lord. The first thing to be concerned about was not, how much I might serve the Lord, how I might glorify the Lord; but how I might get my soul into a happy state, and how my inner man may be nourished…I saw that the most important thing I had to do was to give myself to the reading of the Word of God and to meditation on it.”
George Mueller (Evangelist, 1805 – 1898)
“In the greatest difficulties, in the heaviest trials, in the deepest poverty and necessities, He has never failed me; but because I was enabled by His grace to trust Him He has always appeared for my help. I delight in speaking well of His name.”
George Mueller (Evangelist, 1805 – 1898)
“Intimate knowledge of God is possible if we habitually search His Holy Scriptures & translate what we find into obedience.”
George Mueller (Evangelist, 1805 – 1898)
“The vigor of our spiritual life will be in exact proportion to the place held by the Bible in our life and thoughts.”
George Mueller (Evangelist, 1805 – 1898)
“God delights to increase the faith of His children. We ought, instead of wanting no trials before victory, no exercise for patience, to be willing to take them from God’s hands as a means. Trials, obstacles, difficulties and sometimes defeats, are the very food of faith.”
George Mueller (Evangelist, 1805 – 1898)
“The only way to learn strong faith is to endure great trials.”
George Mueller (Evangelist, 1805 – 1898)
“The beginning of anxiety is the end of faith, and the beginning of true faith is the end of anxiety.”
George Mueller (Evangelist, 1805 – 1898)
“We should not shrink from opportunities where our faith may be tried. The more I am in a position to be tried in faith, the more I will have the opportunity of seeing God’s help and deliverance. Every fresh instance in which He helps and delivers me will increase my faith. The believer should not shrink from situations, positions, or circumstances in which his faith may be tried, but he should cheerfully embrace them as opportunities to see the hand of God stretched out in help and deliverance. Thus his faith will be strengthened.”
George Mueller (Evangelist, 1805 – 1898)
“In order to enjoy the Word, we ought to continue to read it, and the way to obtain a spirit of prayer, is, to continue praying; for the less we read the Word of God, the less we desire to read it, and the less we pray, the less we desire to pray.”
George Mueller (Evangelist, 1805 – 1898)
