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.

A saint is good when nobody is looking.
Leonard Ravenhill
Image
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.

LORD strengthen me where I am too weak and weaken me where I am too strong!

The most fervent prayer meetings are in hell.
Leonard Ravenhill

We Christians are debtors to all men at all times in all places, but we are so smug to the lostness of men. We've been 'living in Laodicea,' lax, loose, lustful, and lazy. Why is there this criminal indifference to the lostness of men? Our condemnation is that we know how to live better than we are living.

I have no faith in my faith. My faith is in the faithful God.

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.

Christianity is the only religion in the world where a man's God comes and lives inside of Him!

Gethsemane is where He died the cross is only the evidence.

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.

The only vision (many) of you have is television.

The only reason we don't have revival is because we are willing to live without it!

Can any deny that in the modern church setup the main cause of anxiety is money? Yet that which tries the modern churches the most, troubled the New Testament Church the least. Our emphasis is on paying theirs was on praying. When we have paid, the place is taken when they had prayed, the place was shaken!

When there's something in the Bible that churches don't like, they call it 'legalism.'
Leonard Ravenhill
Image
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.

One of these days some simple soul will pick up the Book of God, read it, and believe it. Then the rest of us will be embarrassed.

Our God is a consuming fire. He consumes pride, lust, materialism, and other sin.

It is much easier to wear a cross than to bear a cross.

God doesn't answer prayer, He answers desperate prayer!
