Famous Leonard Ravenhill Quotes

“Joy comes through service. Most Christians are activists--they get caught up in some kind of church work. But not all of it is good. Not all of it is essential. Even missionaries find themselves tangled in lesser things than winning the lost. Unprayerful souls soon get diverted from the supreme task he appointed for them. This is why submission is also necessary.”

“The Glory Yet to Be God called to us, His people To be His holy bride From out the rest of living souls He calls us to His side The way He calls is rugged Steep The way He knows We are His sheep By grand design, He has the goals His love leads to the waterholes Gives us this day our daily bread And hitherto, He's always led Though dark the way The path is steep He drives the wolves from us, His sheep At times the clouds obscure His face But, bless His name, supplies of grace Can fortify against every shock His wisdom plans for all the flock Just now the skies seemed solid brass For not, just think It came to pass The furnace, seven times hotter be My grace sufficient is for thee Your soul is riding out the gail Your courage falters, and the tale Is not yet told, but brighter gold Comes from this long hostility As Jesus calls, look unto Me I've planned for thee eternal days I've planned for thee a thousand ways I went through my Gethsemany Will you, my child, bear this for Me? My back was stripped--I bore the rod Will bear this for Me, your God? I plan for thee a jeweled crown Will you go through, or let me down? Can you bear up a few more years Or will you cause your master tears? While Joseph's brothers made a pile Joseph suffered for a while That while did not seem a lengthy season With no design, no rhyme or reason The brothers did not care a bit That Joseph languished in a pit They showed no sorrow for his plight They cared not for the wrong or right But, God was there, behind the cloud He does not shout His plan aloud The path through pit and prison led For Joseph to the nation's head Not then did Joseph weep or groan Each step was leading to a throne The starving brothers soon behold A ruler with a chain of gold They wept, and each his breast did smite Before one sold to Ishmalite Their brother, with the power of death Each man fell down with baited breath Forgiving, Joseph understood Yee meant for evil, God meant for good He did not leave me, or forsake He knew each step I had to take My shepherd, led by pastures green No other way could there have been For me, I proved that He is God Endured the dark, and kissed the rod Take this example from His word And follow on to know the Lord Now, through darksome glass we see But oh, the glory yet to be”

“Faith is the muscle by which we lift the load. Faith is the currency by which we make purchases in the spiritual Kingdom. Faith is spiritual sight. Men of faith see--they see the unseeable. Men of faith known a dimension that is unknown to those who pray only routine prayers.”

“Soldiers of Christ Arise Soldiers of Christ arise And put your armor on Strong in the strength that God supplies Through his eternal Son Strong in the Lord of hosts And in His mighty power Who, in the strength of Jesus trusts Is more than conqueror I have no bow of burning gold To shoot my arrows of desire And yet, oh God, I crave a life That will transmit thy holy fire I shall not cease from mental strife Nor shall my pen slip in my hand 'Til I've seen God's holy men arise And shake our needy land”

“Joy requires at least two conditions: submission and service. If yee abide, submission means staying put when it might seem smart to quit. It means having done all to stand when there is only a toehold. It means believing God when it appears far wiser to believe everybody else. It means defying one's feelings and fears and saying triumphantly, 'Thy will be done.' Joy comes through service. Most Christians are activists--they get caught up in some kind of church work. But not all of it is good. Not all of it is essential. Even missionaries find themselves tangled in lesser things than winning the lost. Unprayerful souls soon get diverted from the supreme task he appointed for them. This is why submission is also necessary. Let me summarize it this way: The way to enjoy indestructible peace and joy is to determine 1.) to do whatever God commands, however difficult. 2.) to endure whatever God appoints, however severe. 3.) to obtain whatever God promises, however seemingly unobtainable. 4.) to die daily, however costly the crucifixion. 5.) to love my enemies, however misunderstood in this. 6.) to pray without ceasing, and in everything give thanks. This will give one a healthy soul, and a conscience void of offense before God and man.”

“Oh, Wonder of Wonders Oh, wonder of wonders My God, can it be That Jesus has died For one rebel like me He lifted my bondage And soul's misery The Lord, King of glory Was wounded for me They led Him to trial They spit in His face He bore it alone Oh, amazing His grace He bowed neath his burden Was scourged in my place I'll sing it forever Amazing His grace With hands full of mercy With hearts full of good My spotless Redeemer Was nailed to the wood He suffered Hell's torment My soul to set free Deserted by God As He hung on the tree He died, but he rose He extracted death's sting He is living enthroned My savior, my king Let the earth hear His voice Men and angels proclaim 'He's coming! He's coming!' He's coming again With the saints marching in I shall be at that throne In the great 'hallelujahs' I'll join in that song With apostles and prophets My best, Lord with thee I shall live! I shall live! Eternally”

“Seeking Thee Lord, I seek thee for renewing Of my faith and of my love Rush and care are my undoing Touch me, Savior, from above Pass me not, oh holy Savior Leave me not to grope and fail Through thy blood I seek thy favor With thy grace I can prevail Faith moves in to claim the promise Peace revives and flood my soul Make me now thy chosen chalice Giving drink that makes men whole Seeking thee, seeking thee Touch and give me liberty”

“I'm Resting in the Lord I must be carried to the skies On flowery beds of ease Let others fight to win the prize And passel on their knees I cannot fight, but I must rein In heaven's blessed abode I'm glad that some enjoy the pain I'm resting in the Lord There are no foes to face My pastor is so good He says, "Just draw on saving grace. "And love the brotherhood." I am a soldier for Christ Unfaithful though I am I pay my tithes for His own cause But blush to speak His name I'm sure on that day of rewards He'll give me some small prize And so my gracious, loving Lord Will wipe tears from my eyes”

“How Do You Take It Easy? How do you take it easy When His fire burns within? How do you take it easy In a world that's crushed by sin? How do you take it easy With a thousand tribes to tell? How do you take it easy In a world that speeds to Hell? How do you take it easy While the church sleeps in its ease? How do you take it easy Will someone tell me, please?”

“Prayer is the most unexplored area of the Christian life. Prayer is the most powerful weapon of the Christian life. Prayer is the most Hell-feared battle in the Christian life. Prayer is the most secret device of the Christian life. Prayer is the most underestimated power in the Christian life. Prayer is the most untaught truth in the Christian life. Prayer is the most demanding exercise in the Christian life. Prayer is the most neglected responsibility in the Christian life. Prayer is the most conquering outreach in the Christian life. Prayer is the most opposed warfare in the Christian life. Prayer is the most far-reaching ministry in the Christian life.”

“The Revival Song Lord, we are hungry for blessing This is in tune with thy word Now is our need we're confessing Give us new hearts, cleansed and stirred Great is the need of our nations Great is the need of this hour Lord, we abhor our stagnation Answer with Holy Ghost power Look on our great desperation Hold back thy judgment, we pray Move through the length of our nation Open thy windows today Lord, fill the church with thy spirit Lord, save our nation, we pray Quicken our love and our zeal And send us revival today”

“To be much for God, we must be much with God. Jesus, that lone figure in the wilderness, knew strong crying, along with tears. Can one be moved with compassion and not know tears? Jeremiah was a sobbing saint. Jesus wept! So did Paul. So did John. Though there are some tearful intercessors behind the scenes, I grant you that to our modern Christianity, praying is foreign.”
