Image
Great eagles fly alone great lions hunt alone great souls walk alone-alone with God. Such loneliness is hard to endure, and impossible to enjoy unless God accompanied. Prophets are lone men they walk alone, pray alone and God makes them alone.

Image
Jesus did not come into the world to make bad men good. He came into the world to make dead men live!
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
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.

If Jesus had preached the same message that ministers preach today, He would never have been crucified.

Image
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.

A true shepherd leads the way. He does not merely point the way.

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 doubt that more than two percent of professing Christians in the United States are truly born again.

This life is a dressing room for eternity - THAT'S ALL IT IS!

Our God is a consuming fire. He consumes pride, lust, materialism, and other sin.
Leonard Ravenhill
Image
We need to close every church in the land for one Sunday and cease listening to a man so we can hear the groan of the Spirit which we in our lush pews have forgotten.
Leonard Ravenhill
Image
Prayer is preoccupation with our needs. Praise is preoccupation with our blessings. Worship is preoccupation with GOD Himself.

If you're going to be a true Christian, I'll tell you one thing amongst others: it'll be a lonely life. It's a narrow way and it becomes narrower and narrower and narrower.

A Christian who isn't praying, is only playing!
Leonard Ravenhill
Image
Christianity is the only religion in the world where a man's God comes and lives inside of Him!

If the whole church goes off into deception, that will in no way excuse us for not following Christ.

Thou shalt call his name Jesus. He shall save his people from their sins.

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.
