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.”

“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?”

“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”

“Do the Pentecostals look back with shame as they remember when they dwelt across the theological tracks, but with the glory of the Lord in their midst? When they had a normal church life, which meant nights of prayers, followed by signs and wonders, and diverse miracles, and genuine gifts of the Holy Ghost? When they were not clock watchers, and their meetings lasted for hours, saturated with holy power? Have we no tears for these memories, or shame that our children know nothing of such power?”

“The Cinderella of the church today is the prayer meeting. This handmaid of the Lord is unloved and unwooed because she is not dripping with the pearls of intellectualism, nor glamorous with the silks of philosophy; neither is she enchanting with the tiara of psychology. She wears the homespuns of sincerity and humility and so is not afraid to kneel!”

“The attitude of the average Christian today is relax and be raptured. But He is coming... and when God gets angry you´ve no idea what it is. Like a thousand volcanoes exploding. He has appointed a day in which He is going to judge the world and the poor blindworld doesn´t know much about it and the poor blind church doesn´t think much about it now.”
