No man is greater than his prayer life - Ravenhill

One cannot find much information on the life of Leonard Ravenhill. You can find details of any big preacher's life on the internet. But Ravenhill's is not possible. Its because he shunned popularity. He turned down offers to publish his life and ministry. Even Keith Green's Biography, who was Ravenhill's close associate and was greatly influenced by him, does not bear much about Ravenhill. Among the little we know about him there's one line said by a woman who was a member of his congregation.... " That man could pray". Can this be said of our preachers today? Can this be said of us? Ravenhill was the best deomonstration of his own Theology. "No man is greater than his prayer life."

thats true prayer is most important in our lives, the more we pray the more strength we get to resist temptation specially in this evil world we need prayer to fight against the evil one. Jesus always spent a lot of time to pray. we must be like Jesus.
