“The Church used to be a lifeboat rescuing the perishing. Now she is a cruise ship recruiting the promising.”

“God pity us that after years of writing, using mountains of paper and rivers of ink, exhausting flashy terminology about the biggest revival meetings in history, we are still faced with gross corruption in every nation, as well as with the most prayerless church age since Pentecost.”

“A man may study because his brain is hungry for knowledge, even Bible knowledge. But he prays because his soul is hungry for God.”

These are a few quotes from that great hell-wrecking evangelist Leonard Ravenhill. If you have never read his work, I highly recommend Why Revival Tarries.

Oh Amen! If we only esteemed prayer as we ought; mountians would be moved and the whole world turned upside down for Jesus Christ!
Lord, teach us to Pray in such a way that heaven comes down in all it’s glory and power!

Bless you Jason!
