Love is blind. Marriage is an eye-opener.
Leonard Ravenhill
Image
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
Image
At God's counter there are no sale days, for the price of revival is ever the same: travail!
Leonard Ravenhill
Image
I have no faith in my faith. My faith is in the faithful God.

Testimonies are wonderful. But, so often our lives don't fit our testimonies.
Leonard Ravenhill
Image
Books on prayer are good, but not good enough. As books on cooking are good but hopeless unless there is food to work on, so with prayer. One can read a library of prayer books and not be one whit more powerful in prayer. We must learn to pray, and we must pray to learn to pray.
Leonard Ravenhill
Image
The self-sufficient does not pray, the self-satisfied will not pray, the self-righteous cannot pray. No man is greater than his prayer life.
Leonard Ravenhill
Image
My goal is GOD HIMSELF. Not joy, not peace, not even blessing but HIMSELF...my GOD.

This silly world outside thinks it is finished with Jesus Christ but they haven't even started with Him yet.

Any method of evangelism will work—if God is in it.

We have too many preacherettes preaching too many sermonettes to too many Christianettes smoking cigarettes.
Leonard Ravenhill
Image
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
Image
If Thou canst do something with us and through us, then please, God, do something without us! Bypass us and take up a people who now know Thee not!
Leonard Ravenhill
Image
Why in God's name do you expect to be accepted everywhere? How is it the world couldn't get on with the holiest man that ever lived, and it can get on with you and me?
Leonard Ravenhill
Image
Every step you make in Jesus Christ enrages the devil.
Leonard Ravenhill
Image
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
Image
We have adopted the convenient theory that the Bible is a Book to be explained, whereas first and foremost it is a Book to be believed (and after that to be obeyed.)
Leonard Ravenhill
Image
Men of prayer must be men of steel, for they will be assaulted by Satan even before they attempt to assault his kingdom.
Leonard Ravenhill
Image
We live in a day of itching ears, but I have no commission from God to scratch them.

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!!!
