Leonard Ravenhill Messages for the Hour

    • Christentum

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.

In his message, Ravenhill uses the example of Paul the Apostle to call the church back to simplicity of the Gospel. He calls the church to live a life laid down and become a bond servant of the Lord. A body who truly grows up in Christ, not simply receiving salvation and never progressing past that point. A church that has fully laid down who we are, and by the power of the Holy Spirit rises again to become all that the Lord wants us to be.
