Many leaders today would say Leonard Ravenhill was out of order for his message. They can’t handle preaching like this today they want the therapist/life coach in the pulpit, not the preacher of the word of God!

Leonard Ravenhill was a personal friend of mine. And after 28 years, I still miss him and long for even one to fill his shoes.

"You don't need entertainment when you have the joy of the Lord " Praise God

"The world is not waiting for a new definition of Christianity. It is waiting for a demonstration of Christianity!"

Lord i repent please make me brand new in jesus name amen.

"An experience of God that cost nothing is worth nothing"

This man has something Christians don't have today. If you walked in church and heard this you wouldn't be going any other church.

"You go to the cross but you never get on the cross" that quote sent a chill over me WOW.

I praise God that even though I did not get to sit under brother Ravenhill’s teaching when he was still on this earth I have had the opportunity to listen to his teachings on different sights. His teachings have encouraged my walk and caused my relation to Jesus and His doctrine to flourish for I was in need!! Thank you for posting this nugget of gold!!

“You go to the cross but you never get on the cross.” What a way with words he had.

Lord change me!

My life is nothing..I am nothing without God..for after this life.. come the judgement...God . continue to do a new thing in me

Call me crazy but I think that there are only a few left today who preach the unadulterated word of God. Pastor Ravenhill always brought the true gospel. Repent !for the kingdom is at hand.

“Carried by Angels” Leonard Ravenhill 1907- 1994 “ARE THE THINGS YOU ARE LIVING FOR WORTH CHRIST DYING FOR?”

"What is your Life?" A question to ask myself every morning.

“The question isn’t were you challenged the question is were you changed?” Lord change us!

Jesus is Lord!!!

It is so true what he says. Most people have no problem going to a theatre for two hours, yet find it tough to pray for any length of time.

Fire Preaching , Lord raise up more of these messengers. Leonard Ravenhill, Damon Albert, David Wilkerson, Paul Washer.

What is life? Answer, Jesus

These men was the only one that had the guts to preach truth and didn't care who got offended

This is truly anointed preaching. The Holy fire of God that changes a man comes forth with every word. I am forever changed from listening to Ravenhill….changed by the Holy Spirit operations through him.

It took me a long hard 3 days of being broken to pieces and a longer than that to renew my mind and rebuild my soul to line up with the spirit that was birthed from death to life, forgiven, blameless, free from sin and have been blooming the joy of the Lord and flowering the fruits of the spirit from the reading of the word and praying to and praising the Lord Jesus, hallelujah, amen

"You don't need entertainment when you have the joy of the Lord" Oh this man of God 🙏✝️❤️, thank You Lord, Please God rescue the Christians and those seeking Jesus who are in churches where they will never hear the Word of God and be saved. Put it in their hearts to get out of there and lead them to truth. Pastor Carter Conlon of Times Square Church in his message "Run, Run, Run"

One of Ravenhill's greatest sermons! We need more preaching like this today! "What is my life?"!

These words he spoke were powerful to me and I put in my journal, so I can make it to a personal prayer. I just want to share " I want to make Romans chapter 6 verse 7 real in my life... I'm tired of bondage, I'm tired of fear. I'm tired of weakness I'm tired of vacillating. I'm tired of being hot and then cold, strong and then weak. I want to get rid of the old self. I want to die right here." Absolutely powerful. Thank you for this video, and these words are going to my prayer life.

This video inspires me. I struggle with submission to the Lord, but my life is a vapor. If I don't live for the eternal God, what else could there be worth living for? Only Jesus satisfies! Thank yall for putting this together, God bless.

If we Truly Live For Eternity..this Life is a drop in the Bucket!

i've watched this countless times, this mashup has a ton of wisdom in 13min.

Oh how far we have drifted away from the true gospel.

“You can not impress GOD “... what a quote!!!#Message

Thank you. Yes as the brother said, THE old preachers are nearly all gone home No more Repent Preaching !

One of my most favorite sermon excerpts of allllll time!! It hits the depths of my heart and is truly profound. God is so good! Come Lord Jesus, Come!!! 🙏🏻🙏🏻

No watered down Gospel here. All truth. Rest in Glory ravenhill

"Leave this world cheerfully" wow! That's a hard-hitting statement, how many Christians can truly leave behind loved ones "cheerfully".

"ARE YOU TIRED OF BEING STRONG THEN WEAK" wow. needed that also this sermon will age quite well I think Also the music was "Time" from "Inception" which is a very very good use of the song

Leonard was a man of God. The differences we have in doctrine mean next to nothing. He makes it easy to shut up the voice in my mind that doesn’t agree to certain things and just listen to him .. and face the reality that he’s preaching truth and I need to / we need to war against our sin and give our lives to advance Christs kingdom and not our own.

Favorite sermon of all time

You have to totally commit.That's just the beginning.Then come the life long discipline through God's grace. and blessing along with suffering and persecution.THIS IS THE TRUE AUTHENTIC GOSPEL

We so badly need another Leonard, another A. W Tozer, we need more men of God like these!!!

Oh for more men like Ravenhill

I was born into a world with a given purpose to be redeemed by The Holy King. He pulls me through the created path meant for me to overcome with his Glory and Grace.

An experience with God, that cost nothing, does nothing and it worth nothing.🙏so true.

Don't go through the motions. It's hard enough to do even that, but I struggle to keep myself dead to sin. The horribleness of sin is that it makes me want to do it. It looks so appealing. The only way to resist that is to die. Keep me close Jesus! Ihesus hominem salvator!

Life is so short. However, My life is Christ! “For to me, to live is Christ, and to die is gain.” ‭‭Philippians‬ ‭1:21‬ ‭

How many "Christians" today would truly take this message to heart and be challenged or be offended not wanting the soul searching taken out of their comfort zone?

God please help me “for me to live is Christ and to die is gain” to be true in my life.

Leonard was one of the realest preachers that lived.

To live IS Christ. To die IS gain. PHIL 1:21

Dear Lord, when I am free in You Jesus, as I am meant to be, it is the most beautiful place- and I am in Your peace Pick me up from my hiding place, my brokenness, where I run away and please place me back on solid ground- the place where You dwell with me and guide me in truth and hope. Teach me the way You love and forgive, Your compassion and mercy. Teach me so that I may please and honor You always. For what is this life? If I do not live to glorify and love the One who formed and made me?

My Lord, my God, my Savior, Jesus Christ, have mercy on me, a sinner.There is no one but you who can save me from this world. Thank you for your loving kindness, mercy and your grace. I love you with all my heart. Thank you for this life.

My brother in Christ Leonard raven hill always lead by the Holy Ghost thank you father for we still could hear your servant 🙏🙏🙏

If ever pastor and church preached like this man and Charles Lawson paul washer Carter conlin david wilkerson john piper. This country would be a total different nation than it is now. But the book of revelations must come too light and must come too past for our lord and savior too return. Repent and fear god it what this world needs and most of all this world and generation needs jesus christ lord of lord king of kings the beginning and the end.

Sat with LR ind 90's and a few others for 2 hours.He scared the hell of me.Had the biggest hands of any man i had ever seen.

The Lord continuously reproves me through this man & his message. To this very day ✝️ "For You do not delight in sacrifice, otherwise I would give it; You are not pleased with burnt offering. The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit; a broken & a contrite heart, O God, You will not despise."-Psalms 51:16‭-‬17 "My son, do not reject the discipline of the Lord or loathe His reproof, for whom the Lord loves He reproves, even as a father corrects the son in whom he delights."-Proverbs 3:11‭-‬12 "And you have forgotten the exhortation which is addressed to you as sons, “My son, do not regard lightly the discipline of the Lord, nor faint when you are reproved by Him; for those whom the Lord loves He disciplines, & He scourges every son whom He receives.” It is for discipline that you endure; God deals with you as with sons; for what son is there whom his father does not discipline? But if you are without discipline, of which all have become partakers, then you are illegitimate children & not sons."-Hebrews 12:5‭-‬8 "All Scripture is inspired by God & profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness; so that the man of God may be adequate, equipped for every good work."-2Timothy 3:16‭-‬17✌🏾

Strong Words...

lord jesus change me

He is truly one of the best Ministers. Praise God

Lord live in me! Change my corrupt heart!

Anytime I listen to a sermon, I pray first. There are more deceived-preachers than there are spirit filled, obedient servants who teach the whole council of God. Preachers who fear God and warn the people. There are more people who have a legal ( they were water baptized ,and invoked the name of Jesus) relationship to God, but who do not love Him, and they love this present world.

help me repent....i pray God everytime ( when i eat, write my exams, sleep n wake up) , buh I'm a drunkard , sexual addict n i do evil things without noticing.....i hope the Lord help me inderstand that i don't belong in dis world buh I'm juss passing by.. pls pray for me

Now that’s preaching!!!! Praise God!

you know when John Wesley was asked how he drew such large crowds he said - 'I set myself on fire and people come to watch me burn.' when Rev Curry Blake was asked how to seek a move of God he said - "i dont seek a move of God i am a move of God" when Wigglesworth punched a cancer patent in the face and that man fell to the floor and his doctor yelled "you've killed him you've killed him" wiggle said "i know my business" walked away and never looked back even after that cancer patent got up completely healed and ran out of the hall it sounds like pomp or pride like pure arrogance but they are statements made from men who had a relationship with God they are statements of faith i dont always like what Ravenhill says but i feel it stir the gift thats in me that grate and wonderful gift of the Holy Spirit it stokes the embers makes me burn a little hotter God forbid that fire go out in any of us

Praise God! Let us push forward brothers and sisters. Let us awaken from our slumber! Let us not forget what we once were and who we NOW ARE in Christ Jesus! Maranatha!

excellent! You only live once, so live it up, to the Glory of God of course.

1 Corinthians 15:1-4 Moreover brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; 2 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. 3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; 4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures: Ephesians 2:8-10 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: 9 Not of works, lest any man should boast. 10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them. Luke 13:1-5 There were present at that season some that told him of the Galilaeans, whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices. 2 And Jesus answering said unto them, Suppose ye that these Galilaeans were sinners above all the Galilaeans, because they suffered such things? 3 I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish. 4 Or those eighteen, upon whom the tower of Siloam fell, and slew them, think ye that they were sinners above all men that dwelt in Jerusalem? 5 I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish. Matthew 6:33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. Isaiah 55:7 Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the LORD, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon. Luke 9:23-27 And he said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me. 24 For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: but whosoever will lose his life for my sake, the same shall save it. 25 For what is a man advantaged, if he gain the whole world, and lose himself, or be cast away? 26 For whosoever shall be ashamed of me and of my words, of him shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he shall come in his own glory, and in his Father's, and of the holy angels. 27 But I tell you of a truth, there be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the kingdom of God. Matthew 19:16-28 And, behold, one came and said unto him, Good Master, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life? 17 And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments. 18 He saith unto him, Which? Jesus said, Thou shalt do no murder, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, 19 Honour thy father and thy mother: and, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. 20 The young man saith unto him, All these things have I kept from my youth up: what lack I yet? 21 Jesus said unto him, If thou wilt be perfect, go and sell that thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come and follow me. 22 But when the young man heard that saying, he went away sorrowful: for he had great possessions. 23 Then said Jesus unto his disciples, Verily I say unto you, That a rich man shall hardly enter into the kingdom of heaven. 24 And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God. 25 When his disciples heard it, they were exceedingly amazed, saying, Who then can be saved? 26 But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible. 27 Then answered Peter and said unto him, Behold, we have forsaken all, and followed thee; what shall we have therefore? 28 And Jesus said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That ye which have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of man shall sit in the throne of his glory, ye also shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel. Galatians 2:16-21 Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified. 17 But if, while we seek to be justified by Christ, we ourselves also are found sinners, is therefore Christ the minister of sin? God forbid. 18 For if I build again the things which I destroyed, I make myself a transgressor. 19 For I through the law am dead to the law, that I might live unto God. 20 I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me. 21 I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain. 1 Corinthians 1:18 For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God. Romans 1:15-17 So, as much as in me is, I am ready to preach the gospel to you that are at Rome also. 16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. 17 For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written the just shall live by faith. Romans 5:8 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Psalms 19:7 The law of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple. Ezekiel 18:30-32 Therefore I will judge you, O house of Israel, every one according to his ways, saith the LORD GOD. Repent, and turn yourselves from all your transgressions; so iniquity shall not be your ruin. 31 Cast away from you all your transgressions whereby ye have transgressed; and make you a new heart and a new spirit: for why will ye die, O house of Israel? 32 For I have no pleasure in the death of him that dieth, saith the LORD GOD: wherefore turn yourselves, and live ye. Romans 3:19-25 Now we know that what things soever the law saith, it saith to them who are under the law: that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God. 20 Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin. 21 But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and prophets; 22 Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference: 23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; 24 Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: 25 Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God; Acts 26:18-20 To open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith that is in me. 19 Whereupon, O king Aggripa, I was not disobedient unto the heavenly vision: 20 But shewed first unto them of Damascus, and at Jerusalem, and throughout all the coasts of Judaea, and then to the Gentiles, that they should repent and turn to God, and do works meet for repentance. Matthew 5:27-28 Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not commit adultery: 28 But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart. Matthew 12:41 The men of Nineveh shall rise in judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: because they repented at the preaching of Jonas; and behold, a greater than Jonas is here. Hebrews 11:1 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. Hebrews 4:12 For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. John 16:8-11 And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment: 9 Of sin because they believe not on me; 10 Of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and ye see me no more; 11 Of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged.

Wow!! What a POWERFUL message of truth and revaluation!!

Our DAD!!!!!! showed me awhile ago life is something in and of itself! Who are we to judge it according to what it inhabits? It's about a biblical world view which comes from relationship! with THEM!!!!!!

I am speechless!!!

Praise God

WOW...…..what a preacher, we need more like him now more than ever

2 Peter 2:12 But these, as natural brute beasts, made to be taken and destroyed, speak evil of the things that they understand not; and shall utterly perish in their own corruption;

This message came while I was drying off after taking a shower on Saturday April 6, 2019 at around 3:30 in the afternoon (this might not be exactly word for word, but it's close). Here's what came: "The reason so many Christians are flocking to these false teachers and false prophets and other assorted teachers and preachers on KZfaq is because they're hungry spiritually. And because what the teachers and prophets are teaching is devoid of the anointing of the Holy Spirit, their teachings are empty spiritually, so that when people listen to them it gives them a full feeling for a moment, but then not long afterward they're hungry again, so they run back for another feed. And this goes on and on. And they think that what they're doing is something good for themselves spiritually, when in fact the opposite is the truth." This in turn reminded me of something the Lord told my old mentor nearly thirty years ago, which was that the reason so many Christians are moving from church to church is because the sheep are hungry and can't find food. I'm pretty sure the Lord told him that back in the late 80's. Just now I had a remembrance of this verse of scripture in which the Lord told the prophet Jeremiah: "My people hath been lost sheep: their shepherds have caused them to go astray; they have turned them away on the mountains: they have gone from mountain to hill, they have forgotten their restingplace." (Jeremiah 50:6, King James Version). Back during the mid-90's outpouring of the Holy Spirit the Lord gave a prophecy in which he said that when the outpouring ended that the enemy was poised to retaliate against the outpouring by raising up the biggest onslaught of religious activity in the history of the Lord's Church (e.g. the KZfaq religionists). He said therefore that what he wanted for Christians was for them not to be doing anything religion-wise, but to stay home and learn to hear the Holy Spirit speaking to them, and to develop a personal relationship with him in the quietness at home. He said that meant no going to church, no going to conferences, no running after teachers, and no getting involved in any religious 'good works' agendas. There were several verses of scripture that accompanied the prophecy, which are these: "For thus saith the Lord God, the Holy One of Israel; In returning and rest shall ye be saved: in in quietness and in confidence shall be your strength: and ye would not." (Isaiah 30:15, King James Version). "Be still and know that I am God." (Psalm 46:10). "And that ye study to be quiet, and to do your own business, and to work with your own hands, as we commanded you." (1 Thessalonians 4:11). "Let us labor therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief." (Hebrews 4:11). Back in June of 1995 I heard one of the Christian prophets speak this message, and toward the end of it he reemphasized that the Lord wanted for his people to forego doing anything religion-wise, and to stay home and develop a personal relationship with the Holy Spirit in the quietness at home. I think the reason he was so emphatic about it was because he knew that the Lord regarded it as a very important move against the coming religious onslaught. There are a couple of other verses of scripture that support this message, and which have to do with identifying the false teachers and false prophets who are parasites on the body of Christ, which are these: "If any man among you seem to be religious, and bridles not his tongue, but deceives his own heart, this man's religion is vain." (James 1:26). "These things have I written to you concerning them that seduce you. But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him." (1 John 2:26-27). I think it's worth mentioning that the Apostle James was one of the Lord's younger brothers and was regarded as having the preeminent authority among the Apostles, also that the Apostle John was the Lord's best friend. In the above verse the Apostle John plainly states that Christians who have the anointing of the Holy Spirit don't need teachers, yet most Christians ignore it and go ahead and heap to themselves teachers anyway (per 2 Tim. 4:3-4), mostly because they're lazy spiritually and want for someone else to do for them what they should be doing for themselves. It's really very sad. Furthermore, not only do these presumptuous teachers and so-called 'prophets' not bridle their tongues, they do the opposite and allow themselves to be used as mouthpieces by religious spirits who drive them and drive them to never shut up. And by allowing themselves to be used that way by the demons they become parasites who end up leeching on the body of Christ, and are largely responsible for the current spiritual stagnation of the body of Christ, especially in America (you can tell by reading the comments people post throwing roses at the false teachers and false prophets that they are devoid of spiritual discernment). These teachers, preachers, and so-called 'prophets' on KZfaq exemplify King Solomon's statement that a fool's voice is known by multitude of words. (Eccl. 5:3), as well as his statement: "The horseleach has two daughters crying, give give." (Proverbs 30:15), ("Donate, donate, donate, donate, donate," etc., etc., ad infinitum, ad nauseum). They should all shut up and go get real jobs like normal people do (if they had the anointing of the Holy Spirit to have genuine love in their hearts for their fellow brothers and sisters in Christ that's exactly what they'd do). I think it would be appropriate to close with this famous quote by Carl Sandburg: "I won't take my religion from any man who never works except with his mouth, and never cherishes any memory except the face of the woman on the American silver dollar."

I am looking forward to shaking this mans hand as hard as his words shook me in my new birth in Christ. I thank I owe him my life honestly. I mean dont get me wrong I owe my salvation to Christ and actually something on another sermon jam that Paris Reidhead said hit my brain and I heard Jesus and then shortly after that I felt conviction of sin in my life and I cried out loud to Him for two weeks and getting on my face and repenting. My wife was flipping out and rejoicing lol I knew I needed to listen to some old school preaching so I searched some on youtube cause all the guy's I knew on t.v. wasnt the Christianity I was feeling and Leonard Ravenhill said a lot of things that pulled at my heart on that other sermon jam and his voice was unique so I listened to many of his sermons and things he said convicted me and the next thing you know I do nothing but read the Bible and pray and worship The Lord Jesus Christ. In prayer I have actually asked Christ to thank Leonard Ravenhill for me lol . Jesus bless you all and I shall leave you in His grace and favor. ;)

Our Preaching needs to be strong and straight that's what the world needs more of as Brother Leonard did in His time. Everything has changed a lot in our world but one thing remains the same and thats man's lost condition only the Gospel can change that.

This is amazing, eye opening, preaching!

Thank you Lord our God.

John 3:16 New International Version 16 For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.

Life is a lesson. Pay attention.

The Life of Our Souls in Christ Lives today and everyday continually Everlastingly, Because It is not Part of Dust, Which is the Flesh.Keep on Experiencing Your Lifes in Christ Today and Everyday Continually Everlastingly.And don't Forget to be Prayerful Everyday and Keep on Talking to the LORD GODFATHER in Christ For It is Eternally Good in Your Souls in Christ.

PRAISE YE THE LORD!!!

Wow... That message is surely an eye opener. Thank you for sharing it. 💕

I’m just learning about him and his sermons. Wow, we need men strong and ready to serve the Lord. We need men to stand up and do the service for the Lord. I will do my best. God will take care of the rest!

This helped me so much

Love L. Ravenhill

I LOVE this man's teaching! Thank you for this today! Much needed encouragement!

Thank you. I like how the music was not overriding the message. Well done

"an experience of God that costs nothing does nothing and is worth nothing"

Praise GOD. Phenomenal Message & Video !

I hear this preaching over and over and I always feel lacking and challenged to change my life's goals! Please God show me the way and help me direct my whole life to you. I really want to live for you.

One life only Will soon be past Only what's done For Jesus will last....

God bless heal and forgive you

Life is beautiful!

Soli Deo Gloria

God bless and forgive you

I'm learning about Catholicism, and one of the things I learned is regarding how to make a GOOD confession. People think that you can just go to confession and then forget about your sins at that point. This is known to the RCC as the mortal sin of presumption, and it is talked about in good Catholic circles as a particularly insidious and an especially offensive sin. It is important to not only regret sin, it is not only important to intend to sin no more, it is not only important to apologize, confess, and where possible to make reparation for sins that we ourselves commit.... it is also important to willfully commit ourselves to examining how we were tempted and fell into sin in the first place and to avoid "near occasions of sin." If these things are not done, then the Confession is invalid and there's no hope for attaining lasting grace from God. People see bad Catholics and think that Catholicism itself is bad. It is painstakingly careful in it's actual dogmas. The good news is that if we cooperate with God, His word, and His Church then we will have an abundance of help in becoming free from sin.

New to the channel and found it by typing in "Leonard Ravenhill" and thankful! Looking forward to listening to much more and learning and growing in the word of God. -- Musings: One of the scariest passages in all of scripture is Matthew 22:14. -- In our culture of decadence; a true Christian will fit the idiom "stick out like a sore thumb". The society is so full of temptations from every direction; we must be on guard and I pray the Lord will help each of us to persevere to the end. -- 2020 is the year that many people were afraid to die so they stopped living!

Loved this!

Thanks be to Jesus for this, Amen !
