Quote

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.

I'm sick and tired of (only) reading about church history let's make (some) by the grace of God
Leonard Ravenhill

Prayer is preoccupation with our needs. Praise is preoccupation with our blessings. Worship is preoccupation with GOD Himself.
Leonard Ravenhill

A man with an experience of God is never at the mercy of a man with an argument.

The Bible parable says that while men slept, the enemy sowed tares among the wheat. A boy who rises at 4:30 to deliver papers is considered a go-getter, but to urge our young people to rise at 5:30 to pray is considered fanaticism. We must once again wear the harness of discipline. There is no other way.

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.

The highway of Christian living is strewn with has-beens.

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.

We are not eternity conscious enough.

Church unity comes from corporate humility.

Redemption is a magnificent thing ..the life of God in the soul of man

If weak in prayer we are weak everywhere.

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?

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

Praying men stop sinning and sinning men stop praying.

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

The apostles had no gold, but lots of glory. We have lots of gold, but no glory.

Where,oh,where are the eternity-conscious believers? Where are the souls white-hot for God because they fear His holy name and presence and so live with eternity's values in view?
