Thirdly, To refresh and comfort. There are unspeakable influences of joy distilled from the spirit upon believers; and when God will let them down from heaven, who can let them? what can let them? All the troubles and sorrows, all the pains and tortures, that men can invent or inflict upon a believer, cannot bind these influences of the Spirit, nor hinder joy in believing. The greatest evils of this life, can neither shut up nor shut out, that comfort which the Spirit speaketh. The most churlish winds that can blow from the coldest quarters of the world cannot chill, much less kill or blast those fruits of the Spirit, Love, joy, peace, long-suffering, gentleness, goodness, saith, meekness, temperance, mentioned by the Apostle (Gal. 5.22, 23.)

Those great floods of trouble and persecution, which the Serpent, any where, or at any time casts out of his mouth, cannot prevail against the least drop of Consolation, wrought in the heart by the Spirits influence. Paul and Silas were bound in Prison, but there their persecutors could not bind the sweet influences of the Spirit from comforting them, nor daunt them by any terror from triumphing in Christ; they could sing in Prison, yea, they sung at Midnight.

The greatest evils of this life, can neither shut up nor shut out, that comfort which the Spirit speaketh. The most churlish winds that can blow from the coldest quarters of the world cannot chill, much less kill or blast those fruits of the Spirit, Love, joy, peace, long-suffering, gentleness, goodness, saith, meekness, temperance, mentioned by the Apostle (Gal. 5.22, 23.)
