- “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…”
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.”

Praise God Almighty!! I long to be with God, I long to serve Him, to do His will every second of my little humble life. May we please God in everything that we do, because of our fruits they will recognise that we are of Christ, Christ said. You ought to do well not because your action can save you but to honour our Father who is in heaven and in our heart. We do good for only doing good and sharing love can bring us peace and happiness...love thy neighbour as Christ said! Be courageous! Be on Fire for God. Let's take what is ours! Our Father is our Father, He was, He is, and always will be, nothing can separate us from the love of God. Turn away from Sin. Submit to God, reject evil and He will flee from you for it is written. Praise the Lord our God. Bless all People who love and seek God. Do not give up but love, God is never ending so is your soul. Don't believe in the lies of the accuser. Fear no one but God alone
Amen!
GLORY TO GOD!
We need God. We don't need religion we need a surrendered life. But we must first learn what this means using a Bible for the definition and not our everyday conversation. Where are the men that laid down their lives for the Kingdom of God hence saving their families and drawing their friends. Know ye not that God has a judgment day set and all that is not in the ark of safety will be burned. Church going is not enough. Tithes is not enough but a life given to God as a living sacrifice is honored by God. Be a blessing!
