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.

More quotes by Leonard Ravenhill
I believe the place of prayer is not only a place where I lose my burdens, but also a place where I get a burden. He shares my burden and I share His burden. ... To know that burden, we must hear the voice of the Spirit. To hear that voice, we must be still and know that He is God.
Leonard Ravenhill
We live in a day of itching ears, but I have no commission from God to scratch them.
Leonard Ravenhill
The Holy Book of the living God suffers more from its exponents today than from its opponents.
Leonard Ravenhill
It may be that Satan has little cause to fear most preaching. Yet past experiences sting him to rally all his infernal army to fight against God's people praying.
Leonard Ravenhill
I'm sick and tired of (only) reading about church history let's make (some) by the grace of God
Leonard Ravenhill
Great eagles fly alone great lions hunt alone great souls walk alone-alone with God. Such loneliness is hard to endure, and impossible to enjoy unless God accompanied. Prophets are lone men they walk alone, pray alone and God makes them alone.
Leonard Ravenhill
At God's counter there are no sale days, for the price of revival is ever the same: travail!
Leonard Ravenhill
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.
Leonard Ravenhill
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!
Leonard Ravenhill
Praying Christians know nothing of their friends
Leonard Ravenhill
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.
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
I have no faith in my faith. My faith is in the faithful God.
Leonard Ravenhill
Ministers who do not spend two hours a day in prayer are not worth a dime a dozen - degrees or no degrees.
Leonard Ravenhill
If the whole church goes off into deception, that will in no way excuse us for not following Christ.
Leonard Ravenhill
The men that have been the most heroic for God have had the greatest devotional lives.
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
There's one thing that life does where ever it goes- it begats life.
Leonard Ravenhill
Any method of evangelism will workâif God is in it.
Leonard Ravenhill
The apostles had no gold, but lots of glory. We have lots of gold, but no glory.
