John Wesley August 30,1766.Preached to a attentive crowd,without disturbance. Then on to another city,preached in the rain,inside some and outside some.He Preached "The kingdom of God is at hand;repent ye,and believe the gospil."He was mostly outside in the marketplace.He then went to another town and preached in the street. He said about it later"In the evening i preached in the street at Asburton.Many behaved with decency;but the rest ,with such stupid rudeness as i have not seen for a long time in any part of England." Brother WESLEY,was not an ignorant man.He was very educated,i believe even went to School at Oxford.I am so elated to see the vast spectrum that the mercy of Christ spans.Yet this man never waivered and kept preaching. An example of why it is so important to keep preaching. April 11th 1751. A barber who was shaving Wesley told him that he praised God on Wesleys behalf. Because the barber had been one of the most eminent drunkards in all his town;but he came to listen at a window and God struck him to the heart. The barber then prayed earnestly for power against drinking;he said God gave him more than he had asked:He took away the very desire of it. Awesome.Preachers preach the full Gospil because people are listening.Even in our time.
