More quotes by Leonard Ravenhill
Satan fools and feigns, blows and bluffs, and we so often take his threats to heart and forget the exceeding greatness of God's power to us.
Leonard Ravenhill
If weak in prayer we are weak everywhere.
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 most fervent prayer meetings are in hell.
Leonard Ravenhill
I'd rather have ten people that want God than 10,000 people who want to play church.
Leonard Ravenhill
The darker it gets, the brighter your light will shine.
Leonard Ravenhill
Paul never glamorized the gospel! It is not success, but sacrifice! It's not a glamous gospel ,but a bloody gospel, a gory gospel, and a sacrificial gospel! 5 minutes inside eternity and we will wish that we had sacrificed more!!! Wept more, bled more, grieved more, loved more, prayed more, given more!!!
Leonard Ravenhill
But have we Holy Ghost power — power that restricts the devil's power, pulls down strongholds, and obtains promises? Daring delinquents will be damned if they are not delivered from the devil's dominion. What has hell to fear other than a God-anointed, prayer-powered church?
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
Thou shalt call his name Jesus. He shall save his people from their sins.
Leonard Ravenhill
Prayer is no substitute for work equally true is it that work is no substitute for prayer.
Leonard Ravenhill
We Christians are debtors to all men at all times in all places, but we are so smug to the lostness of men. We've been 'living in Laodicea,' lax, loose, lustful, and lazy. Why is there this criminal indifference to the lostness of men? Our condemnation is that we know how to live better than we are living.
Leonard Ravenhill
Where there is no passion, the church perishes, even though it be full to the doors.
Leonard Ravenhill
Every step you make in Jesus Christ enrages the devil.
Leonard Ravenhill
The men that have been the most heroic for God have had the greatest devotional lives.
Leonard Ravenhill
We live in a day of itching ears, but I have no commission from God to scratch them.
Leonard Ravenhill
Notice, we never pray for folks we gossip about, and we never gossip about the folk for whom we pray! For prayer is a great deterrent.
Leonard Ravenhill
Easy believeism dishonors the blood and prostitutes the altar. We must alter the altar, for the altar is a place to die on. Let those who will not pay this price leave it alone!
Leonard Ravenhill
Our God is a consuming fire. He consumes pride, lust, materialism, and other sin.
Leonard Ravenhill
Preaching affects men prayer affects God. Preaching affects time prayer affects eternity
