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

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.

The only power that God yields to is that of prayer.

Books on prayer are good, but not good enough. As books on cooking are good but hopeless unless there is food to work on, so with prayer. One can read a library of prayer books and not be one whit more powerful in prayer. We must learn to pray, and we must pray to learn to pray.

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.

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!

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

Prayer is no substitute for work equally true is it that work is no substitute for prayer.

Preaching is not a profession, it’s a passion

I've got The Father on my side, Jesus Christ, The Holy Spirit and 2/3 of the angels. What do you think I'm going to do? Sit down and cry?

The most fervent prayer meetings are in hell.

Love is blind. Marriage is an eye-opener.

The early Church was married to poverty, prisons and persecutions. Today, the church is married to prosperity, personality, and popularity.
