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.

More quotes by Leonard Ravenhill
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.
Leonard Ravenhill
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.
Leonard Ravenhill
The early Church was married to poverty, prisons and persecutions. Today, the church is married to prosperity, personality, and popularity.
Leonard Ravenhill
Entertainment is the devils substitute for joy, and when you get satisfaction out of that dumb thing, your joy will diminish.
Leonard Ravenhill
A true shepherd leads the way. He does not merely point the way.
Leonard Ravenhill
The man who can get believers to praying would, under God, usher in the greatest revival that the world has ever known.
Leonard Ravenhill
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
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
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
If weak in prayer we are weak everywhere.
Leonard Ravenhill
The highway of Christian living is strewn with has-beens.
Leonard Ravenhill
A saint is good when nobody is looking.
Leonard Ravenhill
A Christian who isn't praying, is only playing!
Leonard Ravenhill
Everyone wants to be clothed but no one wants to be stripped.
Leonard Ravenhill
We're living in an unprecedented day (when) evil is no longer evil. We've changed the terminology-- iniquity is now infirmity wickedness is now weakness devilry is now deficiency.
Leonard Ravenhill
I believe every church is either supernatural or superficial. I don't believe there's any middle ground.
Leonard Ravenhill
Life begets life by its very nature. By the same token, inspired men inspire.
Leonard Ravenhill
My goal is GOD HIMSELF. Not joy, not peace, not even blessing but HIMSELF...my GOD.
Leonard Ravenhill
What's the condition of America like, spiritually, tonight? Zero. Why? Because we've got blind men coming out of seminaries. Men there don't teach them they don't hear a word about Hell. They're blind themselves, and as blind men, they lead the blind and they go to Hell.
Leonard Ravenhill
God doesn't answer prayer, He answers desperate prayer!
