“Let us look & live & pray for the outpouring of the Holy Spirit upon all congregations. Let our entire Church be a revival Church, and every member a revivalist… This is our calling; this is our duty”
-Conference of the Wesleyan Methodist Church in Canada (1848)

"Neither do I think it profitable to try to cram every doctrine in the creed into every discourse, although I desire to *offer Christ* in every sermon."
-James Caughey (1868)

@EdHird Some years back I made a video about the Hunter & Crossley revivals & Sir John’s conversation. Seems like a forgotten bit of history; I’m glad your article brought them up, too. Here is my video if you’re interested: https://t.co/gwdW3py5Bg

Excited to see this up on Amazon. It won’t release until next summer, but you might as well pre-order your copy now.

"Holiness. The two go on together — Justification & Sanctification — without which a great & *permanent* work of God is not to be expected."
-James Caughey (1857)

“By the lunch recess, the delegates had done in a single morning what most churches never do in a generation: declared, in one voice and by three-quarters majority, what they believe and why it matters.” https://t.co/76X3qzMcGn

Despite the history, very few Methodist laity connect with Anglican heritage & far likelier lean Baptist. Some Methodist Clergy have Anglican affections.

"REVIVAL will not stand without prayer. Let this prayerful agony for souls continue, by day & by night. If much ascends, much descends. What goes up in prayer comes down in showers of blessings. If little ascends, little descends."
-James Caughey (1855)

"How are we to account for these gloomy scenes among professors of religion ? I answer — First, a want of regeneration; many of them have never been born again."
-James Caughey (1854)

Any denomination that elects exceptional leaders like Jerry Kulah, Paul Lawler, & Carolyn Moore to the episcopacy is worth a look! Happy for ALL those elected & proud to be Global Methodist! #gmchurch

"The man who feels a yearning for souls & power in preaching, who sees God awakening sinners, is not required to go to heaven to know whether God calls him; he need not go to the depths to know whether he is called to preach the Gospel"
-James Caughey (1854)

@Methodist_Prime Daniel Steele is helpful here: https://t.co/ElAyBuT0ed

@Methodist_Prime Regeneration was promised in the OT: Ezek 11&36, Jer 31, but even during the Lord's ministry had not yet been fulfilled John 7:39; 14:16–17; 16:7. Only under the New Covenant do we receive the "promised Holy Spirit" by faith, making ES possible.

*Every born again Christian* is a perfect candidate for it.

[P.R. Neider🐦‍🔥 @Methodist_Prime]

If entire sanctification is true (and obviously it is) then Mary is a fantastic candidate for it

“No man has ever been signally useful in winning souls to Christ without the help of the Holy Spirit.”

-James Caughey, nicknamed “the king of the revivalist preachers” (1834)

[Gospel Encounter 🕊️ @TheArminians]

"Many desire a revival, but they are unwilling to labor for it. Like a cat that is very fond of fish, but would rather do without them than wet her feet."
-James Caughey (1854)

[Gospel Encounter 🕊️ @TheArminians]

"Bring the whole gospel into action! Not just a mere 'point or 2' on Sabbath & then remaining in inglorious disuse all the rest of the week! Nay; but from day to day & night to night call forth all its mighty capabilities into action!"
-James Caughey (1860)
