A man with an experience of God is never at the mercy of a man with an argument.

Christians don't tell lies, they just go to church and sing them. How many times have you stood and sang, “Take my life and let it be” when you haven't given Him one ounce?

You can't develop character by reading books. You develop it from conflict.

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.

To stand before men on behalf of God is one thing. To stand before God on behalf of men is something entirely different.

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.

Image
This much is sure in all churches, forgetting party labels the smallest meeting numerically is the prayer-meeting. If weak in prayer we are weak everywhere.

There's one thing that life does where ever it goes- it begats life.
Leonard Ravenhill
Image
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?

If Jesus had preached the same message that ministers preach today, He would never have been crucified.
Leonard Ravenhill
Image
Life begets life by its very nature. By the same token, inspired men inspire.
Leonard Ravenhill
Image
God has to work in a man before He can work through a man.
Leonard Ravenhill
Image
By our attitude to prayer we tell God that what was begun in the Spirit we can finish in the flesh.
Leonard Ravenhill
Image
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.

Smart men walked on the moon, daring men walked on the ocean floor, but wise men walk with God.

I'm sick and tired of (only) reading about church history let's make (some) by the grace of God
