Praying Christians know nothing of their friends

Christians don't tell lies, they just go to church and sing them. How many times have you stood and sang, “Take my life and let it be” when you haven't given Him one ounce?

The tragedy is that we have too many dead men in the pulpits giving out too many dead sermons to too many dead people.

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

Ministers who do not spend two hours a day in prayer are not worth a dime a dozen - degrees or no degrees.

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.

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.

Prayer is as mighty as God, because He has committed Himself to answer it.
Leonard Ravenhill
Image
The attitude of the average Christian today is relax and be raptured. But He is coming... and when God gets angry you´ve no idea what it is. Like a thousand volcanoes exploding. He has appointed a day in which He is going to judge the world and the poor blindworld doesn´t know much about it and the poor blind church doesn´t think much about it now.

A saint is good when nobody is looking.

Men of prayer must be men of steel, for they will be assaulted by Satan even before they attempt to assault his kingdom.

Christ cared enough for sinners to die for them. Do we care enough for sinners to live to reach them?
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.

The Cinderella of the church of today is the prayer meeting.

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.
