Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Witness Of The Spirit, Discourse One is the tenth message in Wesley's 'Forty-Four Sermons'. The text for this sermon is 'The Spirit himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God' (Rom 8:16). In this sermon, Wesley discusses the witness of the Holy Spirit and the witness of our own spirits, and how these can be distinguished from natural human thoughts, or the witness of the devil. Throughout the message he repeatedly challenges his hearers to embrace radical, total holiness in thought, word and deed, describing such a state as the only one in which the true witness of the Holy Spirit can be discerned.
