More quotes by Leonard Ravenhill

Leonard Ravenhill
Five minutes after you die you'll know how you should have lived.
Leonard Ravenhill
A man with an experience of God is never at the mercy of a man with an argument.
Leonard Ravenhill
God pity us that after years of writing, using mountains of paper and rivers of ink, exhausting flashy terminology about the biggest revival meetings in history, we are still faced with gross corruption in every nation, as well as with the most prayerless church age since Pentecost.

I believe the place of prayer is not only a place where I lose my burdens, but also a place where I get a burden. He shares my burden and I share His burden. ... To know that burden, we must hear the voice of the Spirit. To hear that voice, we must be still and know that He is God.
Leonard Ravenhill
Quit playing, start praying. Quit feasting, start fasting. Talk less with men, talk more with God. Listen less to men, listen to the words of God. Skip travel, start travail.

Leonard Ravenhill
The men that have been the most heroic for God have had the greatest devotional lives.
Leonard Ravenhill
The true Church is born from above. In it there are no sinners, and outside of it no saints. No man can put another's name on its member's roll and no man can cross another's name off that roll.
Leonard Ravenhill
Life begets life by its very nature. By the same token, inspired men inspire.
Leonard Ravenhill
Love is blind. Marriage is an eye-opener.
Leonard Ravenhill
The more men pray, the less worldly they become. The less they pray, the more worldly they become. I am, of course, speaking of professing Christians at this point.
Leonard Ravenhill
It may be that Satan has little cause to fear most preaching. Yet past experiences sting him to rally all his infernal army to fight against God's people praying.
Leonard Ravenhill
Our God is a consuming fire. He consumes pride, lust, materialism, and other sin.
