some quotes to think about...

• "The Church of Jesus Christ is largely sleeping, like a great bedroom, and you have all the Christians in bed and their all sleeping and their all saying, "Please, DON'T WAKE ME UP, I want to sleep on." And of course when God starts to offer His revival people cannot sleep, you can't sleep in the church, but the Spirit of God awakes the people..."Awake, Awake, Put on Christ, wake it up you sleepy Christians, Awake all that sleep, arise from the dead, Christ will give you light!". ~Duncan Campbell/Eph 5:14

• "That world outside there is not waiting for a new definition of Christianity, it's waiting for a new DEMONSTRATION of Christianity!"~Leonard Ravenhill

• "Anything that you love more than Jesus Christ is an idol. Don't care what it is. I'm embarrassed to be part of the Church of Jesus Christ tonight which is so totally radically different from the new testament. So incompetent. So blind. So powerless. I've come to this conclusion, there is a move of God in American today but not amongst the unsaved. It's among the redeemed who are determined by the grace of God to be part of the Bride, and to be part of the Bride you have to be divorced from everything in the world!" ~Leonard Ravenhill
  

• "Do we not need a very much greater conception of how tremendously valuable a true expression of the Church is to the Lord? It's priceless. May the Lord give us more of this anguish for His church as a whole, and then...it will be precious to Him. ~A.W. Tozer

• “And there’s no room for Him in the inn. He got a bit older and there was no room in His family, his family turned on Him. He went to the temple and the temple turned on Him. And when He died there was no room to bury Him, He died outside of the city. Well why in God’s name do you expect to be accepted everywhere? How is it that the world couldn’t get on with the holiest man that ever lived and it can get on with you and me? Are we compromised? Are we of no spiritual stature? Are we of no righteousness that reflects on their corruption?” ~Leonard Ravenhill

• "Entertainment is the devils substitute for joy, and when you get satisfaction out of that dumb thing, you joy will diminish." ~Leonard Ravenhill

• "A servant of God has but one Master." ~George Muller

• "Why should a person come to the cross? Why should a person embrace death with Christ? Why should a person be willing to go in identification down to the cross and into the tomb and up again? I'll tell you why, because it's the ONLY way God can glory out of a human being." ~Paris Reidhead

• "As long as we are content to live without revival, we will." ~Leonard Ravenhill

• "He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain what he cannot lose." ~Jim Elliot

• "Is what you're living for worth dying for?" ~Leonard Ravenhill

• "Have you any days of fasting and prayer? Storm the throne of grace and preserve therein, and mercy will come down." ~John Wesley

• "No man is conquered until his heart is conquered." ~George Barlow

• "A revival of real praying would produce a spiritual revolution." ~E.M. Bounds

• "I've got the Father on my side, Jesus Christ, The Holy Spirit and 2/3 of the angels, what so you think I'm going to do? Sit down and cry?" ~Leonard Ravenhill

• "An idle life and a holy heart is a contradiction." ~Thomas Brooks

• "The hand that holds the rod must be a clean one." ~Duncan Campbell

• "The question isn't were you challenged. The question is were you changed?" ~Leonard Ravenhill

• "Defend the Bible? I would just as soon defend a lion. Just turn the Bible loose. It will defend itself." ~Charles H. Spurgeon

• "You can draw near to God even though you cannot say a word. A prayer may be a crystallized tear. A tear is enough water to float a desire to God." ~Charles H. Spurgeon

• "The only rights a Christian has is the right to give up his rights." ~Oswald Chambers

• "Is the world crucified to you, or does it fascinate you?" ~Leonard Ravenhill

• "Light means nothing to a blind man." ~A.W. Tozer

• "Len, you knew one thing about a man who was carrying a cross out of the city, you knew he wasn't coming back." Leonard Ravenhill

• "Why are we not more holy? Chiefly because we are enthusiasts, looking for the end without the means." ~John Wesley

• "The thought of procrastination is murder to the soul." ~ Charles G. Finney

• "Every man gives his life for what he believes and every woman gives her life for what she believes. Sometimes people believe in little or nothing and yet they give their lives to that little or nothing. One life is all we have, we live it and it's gone but, to live without belief is more terrible than dying, even more terrible then dying young." ~Joan of Arc

• "God I pray, light these idle sticks of my life and may I burn up for thee, consume my life my God for it is thine. I seek not a long life but, a full one like Yours Lord Jesus." ~Jim Elliot

• "People who do not know the Lord ask why in the world we waist our lives as missionaries. They forget they too are spending their lives and when the bubble has burst they will have nothing of eternal significance to show for the years they have waisted." ~Nate Saint

• "We are going to see increasing opposition to the Gospel message in days to come in America because the Gospel message is going to become increasingly biblical, the Gospel message is going to become increasingly radical and revolutionary, and the Gospel message is going to become a threat to this world system. The Gospels going to become and increasing threat to worldliness and materialism and greed and the gods of sports, entertainment, fashion. The Gospel is going to become an increasing threat to the rising time of satanism and false religions. And the results will be the same as in the book of Acts...uproar, persecution, and great moving of God." ~Unknown (2004)
