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
Image
No faith is required to do the possible actually only a morsel of this atom-powered stuff is needed to do the impossible, for a piece as large as a mustard seed will do more than we have ever dreamed of.

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

Image
At God's counter there are no sale days, for the price of revival is ever the same: travail!
Leonard Ravenhill

The law of prayer is the law of harvest: sow sparingly in prayer, reap sparingly sow bountifully in prayer, reap bountifully. The trouble is we are trying to get from our efforts what we never put into them.

Image
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.

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?

Our spiritual immutarity never shows up more than in our lack of praying, be it alone or in a church prayer meeting. Let 20% of the chior members fail to turn up for rehearsal and the chior master is offended. Let 20% of the church members turn up for a prayer meeting, and the pastor is elated.

You can have all of your doctrines right—yet still not have the presence of God.

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

Church unity comes from corporate humility.

The church as we know it today seems a million miles from the New Testament church. That may be a great generalization, but I will stand on it. There is a gulf between our average Christianity and the church of New Testament that makes the Grand Canyon look like a cavity in someone's tooth.

The man who can get believers to praying would, under God, usher in the greatest revival that the world has ever known.

The brutal, soul-shaking truth is that we are so earthly minded we are of no heavenly use.

Image
God has to work in a man before He can work through a man.

Image
Easy believeism dishonors the blood and prostitutes the altar. We must alter the altar, for the altar is a place to die on. Let those who will not pay this price leave it alone!

We are not eternity conscious enough.
