Part Two in a Series of Powerful Leonard Ravenhill Sermon Classics, more to come so stay tuned! Preached in 1992, only two years before his death, this snippet is from "Where's the Fire," a sermon preached to several thousand people. This is his opening prayer from that sermon. Leonard Ravenhill has said that the public prayer before the sermon needs as much as preparation as the sermon itself. Anyone listening to Ravenhill's public prayers are caught up with the Majesty and Awesomeness of God, the Failure and Shortcoming of our own heart, the great Depravity and Lostness of the World, and also the Sobering and Stirring theme of Eternity. The importance of this prayer is that it is Ravenhill as an aged man of 85 years, nearing Heaven, and it is the overflow of his burdened heart. He has in his aged prayers, more fire and passion than most young Christian young people have. Thus we learn, with age, the fire of God is to increase in our lives, not decrease.
