The Gospel Of Prayer
There's nothing more transfiguring than prayer. People often ask, "Why do you insist on prayer so much?" The answer is very simple - because Jesus did. You could change the title of the Gospel according to St. Luke to the Gospel of Prayer. It's the prayer life of Jesus. The other evangelists say that Jesus was in the Jordan and the Spirit descended on Him as a dove - Luke says it was while He was praying that the Spirit descended on Him. The other evangelists say that Jesus chose 12 disciples - Luke says it was after He spent a night in prayer that He chose 12 disciples. The other evangelists say that Jesus died on a cross - Luke says that even when He was dying Jesus was praying for those who persecuted Him. The other evangelists say Jesus went on a mount and He was transfigured - Luke says it was while He was praying that He was transfigured. There's nothing more transfiguring than prayer.
The Scriptures say that the disciples went to bed, but Jesus went to pray - as was His custom. It was His custom to pray. Now Jesus was the Son of God - He was definitely anointed for His ministry. If Jesus needed all that time in prayer, don't you and I need time in prayer? If Jesus needed it in every crisis, don't you and I need it in every crisis?
The story goes that a group of tourists visiting a picturesque village saw an old man sitting by a fence. In a rather patronizing way, one of the visitors asked, "Were any great men born in this village?" Without looking up the old man replied, "No, only babies." The greatest men were once babies. The greatest saints were once toddlers in the things of the Spirit.
C. H. Spurgeon was converted at the age of 16 and began preaching in London at the age of 19. When he was 27, they built him a tabernacle seating 6,000 which he packed twice on Sundays - that's 12,000 - and once on Thursday nights. How? He waited on God. He got alone with God. He studied...and he prayed.
Desperate Prayer
God makes all His best people in loneliness. Do you know what the secret of praying is? Praying in secret. "But you, when you pray, go into your inner room, and when you have shut your door..." (Matt. 6:6). You can't show off when the door's shut and nobody's there. You can't display your gifts. You can impress others, but you can't impress God.
I Samuel 1:1-15 gives an account of the yearly trip Elkanah and his wife, Hannah, made to Shiloh to worship and sacrifice to the Lord. During this time, Hannah had been distressed that she was not able to bear a son for her husband. This passage of Scripture gives quite a descriptive account of her time in prayer concerning the barrenness of her womb. It says that Hannah wept. More than this, she wept until she was sore. She poured out her soul before the Lord. Her heart was grieving; she was bitter of soul, provoked, and of a sorrowful spirit.
Now that's a pretty good list of afflictions - sorrow, hardship, and everything else that came upon this woman. But the key to the whole situation is that she was a praying woman. In verse 20 it says that she reaped her reward. "And it came about in due time, after Hannah had conceived, that she gave birth to a son; and she named him Samuel, saying, 'Because I have asked him of the Lord.'"
Now I say very often - and people don't like it - that God doesn't answer prayer. He answers desperate prayer! Your prayer life denotes how much you depend on your own ability, and how much you really believe in your heart when you sing, "Nothing in my hands I bring, simply to Thy cross I cling...." The more self- confidence you have, the less you pray. The less self-confidence you have, the more you have to pray.
What does the Scripture say? It says that God takes the lowly, the things that are not. Paul says in I Corinthians 1:28 that God takes the things that are not to bring to nothing the things that are, so that no flesh should glory in His presence. We need a bunch of "are nots" today.
About Leonard Ravenhill
Born in Leeds, in Yorkshire, England, Ravenhill was educated at Cliff College in England and sat under the ministry of Samuel Chadwick. He was a student of church history, with a particular interest in Christian revival. His evangelistic meetings during the Second World War drew large crowds. Many converts devoted themselves to Christian ministry and foreign missions.
Among others influenced by Ravenhill were Ray Comfort, Ravi Zacharias, Tommy Tenney, Steve Hill, Charles Stanley, Bill Gothard, Paul Washer, and David Wilkerson.
This type of preaching is so desperately needed today.
Father, I cannot fix this. My heart is too heavy for me to bear. My lungs are too infirmed to draw breath. My eyes squint painfully in the light of your glory....you are here. You are lifting my brokenness to your Gaze. Breathe on me , Father. Steady me against your breast and speak into the chaos , peace be still. My peace I give you.
many a pastor needs to hear this man, many a preacher needs to hear this man, wisdom thru prayer, prayer is our mightiest weapon, use it people, pray, pray, pray,
Pray without ceasing A-men'
Oh Lord have mercy on us sinners and forgive us for our weakness that keeps us from fellowshiping with You in prayer...to You be the glory forever...
It’s lack of faith in the blood that keeps us from fellowship. We need revelation to overcome sin. If we think it’s our sins that keep us from we will never learn anything about living by faith and victory. We aren’t in the Old Testament anymore. It’s new covenant. The perfect law of liberty.
Please prayer for my father..He's in ICU with a fractured skull, fractured ribs, and fractured pelvic and unconscious. Can you and your congregation pray for my dad so, he'll be given a 2nd chance to come too and be fully healed.Doctors are saying he will not be able to communicate and see again from his brain damage. Praying God will help him come to know Our Lord Jesus Christ because he doesn't know the Savior yet. 👏🙌🤲
Lol I love you brother's be strong in the Lord. Be men of God to the very end! Live or die we are the Lords! Hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah! Glory to Jesus Christ! Hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah!
A wondreful man of God - now with his Lord!

God is pleased when we take patiently the injustice of man, and, He is glorified when we praise Him in afflictions!!!
This is profound very profound. May the Lord teach us n give us GRACE to follow through. Thnk u brother GOD bless u

I wish all them little reformed boys that love to argue and debate would grasp this
What do they not seem to grasp of this in your opinion? Just so I understand what you mean, I'm not looking to disagree I'm just not sure I know what you mean by that
@@ronkelley1490 because todays classical reformed crowd would say this is blaphemous teaching. Denying God can be moved by prayer, denying we can birth revival, denying miracles still happen. Calvinism is the worst heresy and plague to ever hit the church.
@@wadeh777 ahh ok I see what you mean now, thanks
@@wadeh777yeah. So many say they love Ravenhill and Calvinist preachers. Ravenhill was anti Calvinist. People aren’t even taking in what they hear if they can’t tell the difference between Christianity and Calvinism.
where are the great preachers that came from those sitting in that room.. folk can hear hours of sober god messages and its in one ear and out other
Paul Washer
@@djentile7773 Yeah, he said he heard him speak a few times.
@@djentile7773washer preaches opposite of Ravenhill? He is a Calvinist. It’s a different gospel. Should hear Ravenhill speak about Calvinism. 2 different religions. Any ism isn’t from Him. It’s best not to call self an “ist” or believe in any “isms”
Duelling Scriptures, eh? Not so. They all combine as truth. This dude may be cool, but I sense the righteous class master.
At least the Brit crowd dresses well- not in dirty t-shirts and shaved heads smelling of cigarettes smoked on the way.
