The longer a soul hath neglected duty, the more ado there is to get it taken up.

When people do not mind what God speaks to them in His word, God doth as little mind what they say to Him in prayer.

Satan cannot deny but that great wonders have been wrought by prayer. As the spirit of prayer goes up, so his kingdom goes down. Satan's strategems against prayer are three. First, if he can, he will keep thee from prayer. If that be not feasible, secondly, he will strive to interrupt thee in prayer. And, thirdly, if that plot takes not, he will labour to hinder the success of thy prayer.

Never venture near the door where sin dwells, lest you are dragged in.

It is the image of God reflected in you that so enrages hell; it is this at which the demons hurl their mightiest weapons.

To forsake sin, is to leave it without any thought reserved of returning to it again.

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.
