What is repentance? Why is it very important for a follower of Jesus? This video preaching by a well-know revivalist Leonard Ravenhill will expound this Biblical concept of repentance.

Repentance is a change of heart and change of direction of our lives. It involves a very strong commitment and resolve to hate our sin and stop sinning. Repentance is a complete shift of attitude toward God and our sins. The Bible commands people to repent. “Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.” (Acts 2:38).

Leonard Ravenhill (June 18, 1907 – November 27, 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. He was a proponent of the moral government or Governmental theory of atonement. His most notable book is Why Revival Tarries which has sold over a million copies worldwide. (Wikipedia)

“No man is greater than his prayer life. The pastor who is not praying is playing; the people who are not praying are straying. We have many organizers, but few agonizers; many players and payers, few pray-ers; many singers, few clingers; lots of pastors, few wrestlers; many fears, few tears; much fashion, little passion; many interferers, few intercessors; many writers, but few fighters. Failing here, we fail everywhere.”? Leonard Ravenhill Quote

To the Preacher: The Idolatry of Intelligence by Leonard Ravenhill

“One of these days some simple soul will pick up the Book of God, read it, and believe it. Then the rest of us will be embarrassed. We have adopted the convenient theory that the Bible is a Book to be explained, whereas first and foremost it is a Book to be believed (and after that to be obeyed).” ?

Leonard Ravenhill Sermon: The Resurrection Power of Jesus Christ

InFeatured, Headline, Preaching/Sermons

This is one of the most powerful preachings of the late Leonard Ravenhill. It’s a timeless message for those who want to grow their relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ. The Bible says in 1 Corinthians 15:13-18: “But if there is no resurrection of the dead, then Christ is not risen. And if Christ is not risen, then our preaching is empty and your faith is also empty. Yes, and we are found false witnesses of God, because we have testified of God that He raised up Christ, whom He did not raise up—if in fact the dead do not rise. For if the dead do not rise, then Christ is not risen. And if Christ is not risen, your faith is futile; you are still in your sins! Then also those who have fallen asleep in Christ have perished.”

Video: The Resurrection Power of Jesus Christ

“The proof, the standard of God’s power in the New Testament is the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead. The standard of God’s power in the Old Testament was the deliverance of the people of Israel through the Red Sea which brought them finally into the land of promise. In the Old Testament the miracle is the raising of a dead nation, because they were in captivity, in Egypt, which is a type of the world. They were under the dominion of Pharaoh, which is a type of the devil, and they were brought as the Word of God says, “God called them with a strong hand. He delivered them with a strong hand and a stretched out arm.”” – Leonard Ravenhill

***“The resurrection isn’t part of my theology, the resurrection IS A PERSON.” – Leonard Ravenhill***

Quotes by Leonard Ravenhill

We call it intelligence God calls his pride.

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. He said he heard (of) murders, rapes, adultery, and fornication. He met men and women who have broken every law of God and man with repetition. But never in 25 years had anyone ever confessed to be covetous. Covetousness! We wrap it up and call it ambition. 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!

Someone asked me, “Do you pray for the dead?” I said, “No, I preach to them!” I think every pew in every church is death row. Think about that! They’re dead! They sing about God; they talk about God, but they’re dead! They have no living relationship (with God).

“The early church was married to poverty, prisons and persecutions. Today, the church is married to prosperity, personality, and popularity.”

“If I don’t believe the Word of God, why should you believe it? If we don’t believe it, why should the world believe us?”

“Do you go to church to meet God or to hear a sermon about Him? How many come to church expecting a confrontation with Deity?”

“I’m sick to death of the so-called Christianity of our day. 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 somewhere. We are not caught up into eternity!”

“The surest thing in the world is not death and taxes, it’s death and eternity. Yet, we’re so unconcerned. We are not eternity conscious enough.”

“Many pastors criticize me for taking the Gospel so seriously. But do they really think that on Judgment Day, Christ will chastise me, saying, ‘Leonard, you took Me too seriously’?” – Leonard Ravenhill
