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
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.
Leonard Ravenhill
Satan fools and feigns, blows and bluffs, and we so often take his threats to heart and forget the exceeding greatness of God's power to us.
Leonard Ravenhill
If I don't believe the Word of God, why should you believe it? If we don't believe it, why should the world believe us?
Leonard Ravenhill
One of these days some simple soul will pick up the Book of God, read it, and believe it. Then the rest of us will be embarrassed.
Leonard Ravenhill
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
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
A man with an experience of God is never at the mercy of a man with an argument.
Leonard Ravenhill
The Holy Book of the living God suffers more from its exponents today than from its opponents.
Leonard Ravenhill
Five minutes after you die you'll know how you should have lived.
Leonard Ravenhill
The world does not believe the Bible and the church does not obey it.
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
He who fears God fears no man.

Finney preached and sometimes the whole congregation would get up and leave! that's good preaching.
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
Christ cared enough for sinners to die for them. Do we care enough for sinners to live to reach them?
Leonard Ravenhill
Are the things you are living for worth Christ dying for?
Leonard Ravenhill
Faith that is going to be trusted is going to be tested.
Leonard Ravenhill
Men build our churches but do not enter them, print our Bibles but do not read them, talk about God but do not believe Him, speak of Christ but do not trust Him for salvation, sing our hymns and then forget them.
Leonard Ravenhill
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.
