“There are two kinds of people in the world– only two kinds. “Do you know what’s wrong with modern preaching? It’s missing three things: one, it has no intensity two, it has no majesty three, it has no eternity.” We need cleansing! There is no true conversion until a man takes up his cross.” “I think one of the serious breakdowns in modern evangelism is this: it has offered too much for too little. “Most people are bothered by those passages, which they cannot understand the Scripture which troubles me the most is the Scripture I do understand.” “The surest thing in the world is not death and taxes, it’s death and eternity. They got a revelation from God, they got convictions of the Spirit and they laid their lives on the line.” Finney didn’t have a bigger Bible Wesley didn’t have a bigger Bible, but somehow they got nearer to the heart of God. All the devilish things (they endured) and not one ever had a Bible! Well, in God’s Name, (what) are you and I going to do when we stand before Him?! When I get there, I’ll have to face up to having the whole revelation of God. These staggering men and women through faith subdued kingdoms, wrought righteousness, obtain the promises, stopped the lions women received their dead raised to life again. The Word of God says man shall give an account for every word that he has spoken.” Every word you say is going to be played back some day. We stab and we injure and we hurt, and God is going to try all my words before a thousand-million people. “We speak thousands of words every day and all these words are accumulated: the good words, the bad words, the criticized words… we’re so flippant with our words we’re so easy with our criticism. That’s normal Christianity! We’re so sub-normal, if we ever became normal, they (the world) will think we’re abnormal.” They cast out demons, blindness, and paralysis. “In the early church, signs and wonders, and miracles followed. I don’t believe there’s any middle ground.” “I believe every church is either supernatural or superficial. We’ve had so much light and we’ve rejected it.” What’s supernatural about it? When do people come out of the sanctuary awed and can’t speak for an hour because God has been in glory there? Dear God, as soon as they get out, they’re talking football, or sports or something or there’s going to be a big sale downtown or somewhere. “I’m sick to death of the so-called Christianity of our day.
We may call it business or something, but right down in the middle of those things is a rotten word called “covetousness.” Paul called it idolatry!” Covetousness! We wrap it up and call it ambition. But never in 25 years had anyone ever confessed to being covetous. He met men and women who have broken every law of God and man with repetition. He said he heard (of) murders, rapes, adultery, and fornication. “A Roman Catholic priest startled us not very long ago by saying that for 25 years he had been sitting in the confessional, listening to the confessions of men and women. We could do no less for our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. These words below, hold us to a higher standard of faith and practice. I am hearing a clarion call around the world for men and women, who have long been asleep in their faith, to wake up from their slumber. Tozer and you will find much of the same wisdom in both men. Leonard Ravenhill is a name that I have only recently become familiar with.
