More quotes by Leonard Ravenhill
The tragedy in our colleges and seminaries right now is that we turn men out who know the word of God. That is never going to turn the world. The question is not whether they know the Word of God.... The question is......Do they know the God of the Word?
Leonard Ravenhill
The church as we know it today seems a million miles from the New Testament church. That may be a great generalization, but I will stand on it. There is a gulf between our average Christianity and the church of New Testament that makes the Grand Canyon look like a cavity in someone's tooth.
Leonard Ravenhill
Smart men walked on the moon, daring men walked on the ocean floor, but wise men walk with God.
Leonard Ravenhill
Preaching is not a profession, it’s a passion
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.
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
A man who is intimate with God will never be intimidated by men.
Leonard Ravenhill
The less power a church has, the more entertainment it has.
Leonard Ravenhill
A man with an experience of God is never at the mercy of a man with an argument.
Leonard Ravenhill
The first essential for the coming of the Holy Ghost into a heart today is that the heart should be cleansed from sin, for the Holy Spirit does not fill an unclean heart. What God has cleansed, He then fills. Finally, whom God fills, He uses. A holy life is the authentic sign of being filled with the Spirit.
Leonard Ravenhill
At God's counter there are no sale days, for the price of revival is ever the same: travail!
Leonard Ravenhill
If I don't believe the Word of God, why should you believe it? If we don't believe it, why should the world believe us?
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
Jesus did not come into the world to make bad men good. He came into the world to make dead men live!
Leonard Ravenhill
Let the fires go out in the boiler room of the church and the place will still look smart and clean, but it will be cold. The Prayer Room is the boiler room for its spiritual life.
Leonard Ravenhill
Prayer is as mighty as God, because He has committed Himself to answer it.
Leonard Ravenhill
Better for you to have one sleepless night on earth than millions in hell.
Leonard Ravenhill
This much is sure in all churches, forgetting party labels the smallest meeting numerically is the prayer-meeting. If weak in prayer we are weak everywhere.
Leonard Ravenhill
What's the condition of America like, spiritually, tonight? Zero. Why? Because we've got blind men coming out of seminaries. Men there don't teach them they don't hear a word about Hell. They're blind themselves, and as blind men, they lead the blind and they go to Hell.
Leonard Ravenhill
God has to work in a man before He can work through a man.
