Rev. George Whitefield
was an outstanding evangelical preacher of the 18th century and the Lord
used him to preach the Gospel to great effect both in Britain and America.
“After having undergone innumerable buffetings of Satan, and many months’
inexpressible trials by night and day under the spirit of bondage, God was
pleased at length to remove the heavy load, to enable me to lay hold on His
dear Son by a living faith, and, by giving me the Spirit of adoption, to
seal me, as I humbly hope, even to the day of everlasting redemption. But
oh! with what joy—joy unspeakable—even joy that was full of, and big with
glory, was my soul filled, when the weight of sin went off, and an abiding
sense of the pardoning love of God, and a full assurance of faith broke in
upon my disconsolate soul! Surely it was the day of my espousals,—a day to
be had in everlasting remembrance. At first my joys were like a spring tide,
and, as it were, overflowed the banks. Go where I would, I could not avoid
singing of psalms almost aloud; afterwards it became more settled—and,
blessed be God, saving a few casual intervals, has abode and increased in my
soul ever since.”
