Provoking Thoughts on Prayer
“For this sin hungry age we need a prayer-hungry church. We need to explore again the “exceeding great and precious promises of God.” In “that day”, the fire of judgment is going to test the sort, not the size, of the work we have done. That which is born in prayer will survive the test. Prayer does business with God. Prayer creates hunger for souls; hunger for souls creates prayer. The understanding soul prays, the praying soul gets understanding. To the soul who prays in self-owned weakness, the Lord gives His strength…Lord, let us pray.
Leonard Ravenhilll. (1907–1994) was an English Christian evangelist and author who focused on the subjects of prayer and revival. He is best known for challenging western evangelicalism (through his books and sermons) to compare itself to the early Christian Church as chronicled in the Book of Acts. His most notable book is Why Revival Tarries which has sold over a million copies worldwide. He was a close friend of A.W. Tozer and Keith Green’s mentor.
