Leonard Ravenhill - What Is Your Life?

“The Lord whom you seek. We’re not seeking him, we’re seeking revival, we’re seeking healing, we’re seeking miracles. It’s not that we need. If we get God we get all that’s needed. And revival is when God comes down.”

“The church has never had more equipment than she has now, and she never had less power.”

“I want to be one of the ten most wanted men in hell. I want the demons to be able to say, Jesus I know and Ravenhill I know…”

"We take people to the cross we don't get them on the cross"

Leonard Ravenhill was born the eighteenth of June, 1907, in Leeds, Yorkshire, England. At his conversion, it wasn’t his simply his sin that provoked his revelation of God, but rather he saw that his father had a spiritual reality that he himself did not have. So at the age of fifteen, he came under conviction and cried out to the Lord and was converted. This kind of revelation of God would continue to mark his ministry throughout the rest of his life. From that point on, he was engaged in evangelism, personal witness, and serious prayer both on his own and in group prayer meetings.

In 1958, Leonard and his family moved to Minnesota after they felt a leading from God, and he taught at Bethany College of Missions near Minneapolis. In the 80s, he moved to Texas, a short distance from Last Days Ministries Ranch, where again he would often teach classes, and also where he would spend the remainder of his life. While in Texas, he mentored the late Keith Green, and today, the two are buried about twenty feet from each other in the same cemetery.

“I’ve said it many times, I’ll say it again that no man is greater than his prayer life.”
