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
You never have to advertise a fire. Everyone comes running when there's a fire. Likewise, if your church is on fire, you will not have to advertise it. The community will already know it.
Leonard Ravenhill
Why in God's name do you expect to be accepted everywhere? How is it the world couldn't get on with the holiest man that ever lived, and it can get on with you and me?
Leonard Ravenhill
He who fears God fears no man.
Leonard Ravenhill
If Thou canst do something with us and through us, then please, God, do something without us! Bypass us and take up a people who now know Thee not!
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
The world has lost the power to blush over its vice the Church has lost her power to weep over it.
Leonard Ravenhill

Redemption is a magnificent thing ..the life of God in the soul of man
Leonard Ravenhill
The Sunday morning service shows how popular your church is. The evening services show how popular your pastor is. Your private prayer time shows you how popular God is!

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
Our God is a consuming fire. He consumes pride, lust, materialism, and other sin.
Leonard Ravenhill
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?
Leonard Ravenhill
Isn't it amazing that God gives breath to a man who is going to blaspheme Him all day!
Leonard Ravenhill
You won't become a saint by studying your Bible you'll become a saint by living it.
Leonard Ravenhill
At God's counter there are no sale days, for the price of revival is ever the same: travail!
Leonard Ravenhill
The brutal, soul-shaking truth is that we are so earthly minded we are of no heavenly use.
