Lord Montgomery, that unpredictable British field Marshall, said recently that England went into the Second World War equipped to fight the First World War. This was a polite way of saying that in World War II England was way behind the times in battle equipment and strategy.
When Sir Christopher Wren designed the great St. Paul's cathedral in London, he planned a thing of lasting beauty and unfading charm, but did not order it air-conditioned. When George Stephenson built his rocket engine, it was not smooth, herculean diesel, but a low-powered hissing machine. In other words, both Wren and Stephenson underestimated the needs of our day, and designed for their day.
Many today have a benevolent patronage of the church of Jesus Christ (or what they mistakenly think is the church of Jesus Christ). These "wise ones" think that the psalm-singing saints are as much out of line with the atomic age as a penny-farthing bicycle would be on a motor-crowded four-lane highway. Was Jesus Christ guilty, then, of underestimating the need of this twentieth century? Is the Church which Christ founded a cumbersome, slow-moving thing, badly needing a gigantic overhauling and a government subsidy to get her up to date and moving? No! The church does not need state support.
We concede, however, that the Church does need a mighty overhauling by divine Hands, that is, she needs the baptism with the Holy Ghost and fire. When the Lord Christ ascended into heaven from Mt. Olivet, He charged the disciples that they should "wait for the promise of the Father" - the "baptism of the Holy Ghost" with its resultant power.
This promise was exclusive - "Ye shall receive power." Who was to receive the promise? Only the followers of Christ.
The promise was exciting - "Ye shall receive power." In eager anticipation of this blessed enduement, the waiting ones could see all their weakness evaporating in the baptism of fire.
The promise was explicit - "Not many days hence."
The promise was expanding - This thing was not to be done in a corner, nor whispered among the redeemed. It would reach out through them to Judea, Samaria, and the uttermost parts of the earth.
This promise was exalting - In the whole world of created things there is no greater power than that of the Holy Spirit of God. They were to be filled with the Spirit of the living God. Earth has no greater honor than that.
Angels, behold and wonder!
Every thing in the heavens above, or in the earth beneath, or in the waters above the earth - all these are the work of His fingers and this Mighty one is He who condescends to come and indwell mortals.
But though Pentecost meant power to the disciples - it also meant prison to them. Pentecost meant enduement - it almost meant banishment. Pentecost meant favor with God - it also brought hatred from men. Pentecost brought great miracles - it also brought mighty obstacles. Pentecost brought anointing for the upper room preachers - it also brought appointing a deacon and under the enduement he turned Samaria upside down.
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.
In 1939, he married an Irish nurse, Martha. The Ravenhills had three sons: Paul, David, and Philip. Paul and David are Christian ministers, and Philip is a teacher.
In 1950, Ravenhill and his family moved from Great Britain to the United States. In the 1960s they traveled within the United States, holding tent revivals and evangelistic meetings.
In the 1980s, Ravenhill moved to a home near Lindale, Texas, a short distance from Last Days Ministries Ranch. He regularly taught classes at LDM and was a mentor to the late Keith Green. He also spent some time teaching at Bethany College of Missions in Minnesota, and some time in Seguin, Texas.
Among others influenced by Ravenhill were Ray Comfort, Ravi Zacharias, Tommy Tenney, Steve Hill, Charles Stanley, Bill Gothard, Paul Washer, and David Wilkerson.
Through his teaching and books, Ravenhill addressed the disparities he perceived between the New Testament Church and the Church in his time and called for adherence to the principles of biblical revival.

[@davidsolomon8203]

I hang my head in shame, as I recall the depravity of my earlier years, but my heart, my soul, my EVERYTHING cry out to God: Oh Lord, I repent of my sin, and my many sins, and I ask your forgiveness, as I cast myself upon your Mercy Seat and upon the sacrifice of my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ!!! Amen.

[@paultarsus3]

We all hang out head in shame for our past. Praise God for sending his Son to be bruised for our iniquity. Praise God for the resurrection of Jesus Christ. That we may know him the only true God and Jesus Christ who he sent.

It's hard to see all the men of God in the world from my house, if your a man like me we're just a step above blind.

[@TheJermich]

Let us strive to be used by God, just like Ravenhill and like Holy men throughout history, God's word is still truth, it will never pass away, and when we proclaim it, we must remember it will return, and it won't return void! Let us open our mouths and proclaim the victory

I like what he said about healing . I was whining to God about being sick ( I have terrible back pain and have had a back cough for nearly two years ) . The Lord answered me and said , " Healing is overrated , concentrate on eternal things and salvation "

follow Jesus as Leonard did, he was a great prayer and friend of David wilkerson and AW Tozer. the weaken sisy church cannot hold a candle to these men who gave their all for Jesus and followed Him. Ravenhill called out the prosperity lying wolves, prosperity preachers who do not live by faith but beg for money for their lifestyle of luxury, follow Jesus and Him alone

[@stuartmenziesfarrant]

It's a good question.

[@eastwood111]

Yeah great point, I always think about that when I see these old sermons. I think about how many of those people are singing praises to our Lord Jesus Christ in the heavens above!

Matthew 7: 12-14 Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets. Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it. Only 38 comments 😪😪😪 Pray that more will seek and find the narrow gate.

It seems such a pity that he preached to such small congregations. His wonderful preaching should be heard in these huge megachurches so that thousands can hear him!!

Nowadays preachers preach politics from the pulpit.

[@missthunderstormable]

this is not a prayer, this is a sermon. i dont like when preachers preach when they pray...

[@SamShahu]

missthunderstormable praying the Word of God is the most powerful prayer, God centered prayer, all other prayers revolve around the selfishness of men.

[@ambcfoxe4171]

I am so sad that you have never seen a true man of God pray. Please sis I aim hear asking God to help me pray like this man of God.

[@victorloliwerikoi3474]

He shows he loves Talking to God. He loves God through His Word.

[@ServantofYeshuatheTruth]

Out of all the love, the intimacy with God in Words thst Leonard, you like to point out what you don't like. I would not be able to focus or comment on any negative aspect of this videos. For the Blessings it emanates out of it are are so great and many people are touched by it. Concentrate on the Blessing from this Man's humble talk through and in God

[@renamorato1695]

I feel pity for you because you were blind and the truth not shine to you. You did not get what the preachers say and what God wants us to understand.
