All the difficulty [about understanding the nature Christian perfection] is, to fix the meaning of it according to the word of God. And this we have done again and again, declaring to all the world, that Christian perfection does not imply an exemption from ignorance, or mistake, or infirmities, or temptations; but that it does imply the being so crucified with Christ, as to be able to testify, “I live not, but Christ lives in me.” (Gal. 2. 20.) and has “Purified my heart by faith.” (Acts 15. 9.) It does not imply “the casting down every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ.”

—An Earnest Appeal to Men of Reason and Religion, 8.22

Here Wesley tells us that by Christian perfection he does not mean that we are able to live mistake-free and sinless lives. He does not mean that each of us are not burdened by our own weaknesses or that we are free from temptation.

Can you see where he is going with this? Do you agree with Wesley?
