(Clip) Does God Hear Your Prayers？ — Leonard Ravenhill

Redeeming Time Through Prayer

Work for the night is coming give every flying minute something to keep in store. He pushed the day around. In case you don't know there are 24 hours in it. The divided into three eights. Normally you work eight you sleep eight.

What you do with the other day on the same basis. You live 60 years you work 20 you sleep 20 and what they do with the other 20. All earthly things with earth will fade away. The prayer Grasps eternity therefore pray always pray.

Prayer Life and Desperate Prayer

I Said this often and it's got me into trouble, but I'm still going to say it. Anyhow, I'm quite sure of this that no man I don't care how large this church don't care how many books he's written how far he's traveled.

I do not believe that any man or woman is greater than their prayer life. But I'm convinced of this. God does not hear prayer. He hears desperate prayer. There are millions of prayers prayed that never reach the throne and they never answered but never never never.

Desperate Prayer in Rachel and Moses

It's prayer of this nature ever denied. How to pray do I? We shall she got tired of all the trinkets she got tired of eating and drinking and being happy and Sharing the most time of the husband getting the nicest clothes all the other things.

They came a place where she said listen. You find the same thing in the 30th chapter of Genesis where Rachel comes down one day and says to her husband listen Jacob. Give me children. I die for that passionate phrase in the middle of the 11th chapter of Numbers.

And remember it's dangerous to pray. In that chapter the people began to reproach God and say well, we've had nothing like we had in Egypt. We don't get meals like that. We don't get onions like we used to get meat like we used to get nothing and God says, all right.

You've asked for it. You're gonna get it. He said not for two days not for ten days. Not for two weeks a whole month. We say sometimes, you know, we had it till it was running out of our ears. Do you know God says I'll give you it till it runs out of your nostrils and Moses the man of God says listen.

I've got a number in complaining people. God says well I complain more to me than they do to you anyhow that Moses says don't leave this burden upon me if you do kill me. That's been a desperate praying isn't it?

Spiritual Authority and the Name of Jesus

Because if you're going to be a preacher or a missionary if you're not known in hell. Well, I don't think you're worth much anyhow some demons one day pounced on a preacher. Matter of fact, they beat a few preachers up and you never find me one of them turned around and said listen Jesus.

We know and Paul, you know, I think that's the greatest thing. I envy about the Apostle Paul. Not that he raised the dead. Not that he cast demons out. Everybody's casting you go some meetings. You've a headache.

You got a demon you sneeze you've got about 50. You know the devil don't care a hill of beans how long we chase demons as long as we don't hit the devil. Me that's praying not how long you pray. Sometimes we got the thing.

The Disciples Learn to Pray

All we have to do is send a five-word telegram to heaven and all eternity will operate for us forget it. That's not true. It always startles me that the disciples Never said to Jesus Lord teaches to preach.

They heard the greatest sermon ever preached by the greatest man that ever lived a sermon on the mountain yet. Not one of them ever said Lord teach me to preach. They never said Lord teach us to do miracles.

They didn't say Lord teach us to pray. Prayer is not a position whether you kneel or face the east. Prayer is not a position. It's a disposition. That's why the Apostle Paul says that it is possible to get to that place right where you pray without ceasing.

Prayer as Continual Relationship With God

Where every moment of your life? You're in an attitude of relationship to them not for something you want. But there's somehow God might come again and breathe. You see the answer to America tonight is not in the White House.

Forget it. The answer to America is in God's house. You know, I'm so simple and I thought a year ago God was writing the last chapter of history as we know it and I don't think that anymore. I don't believe he is writing the last chapter.

Seeking the Lord Instead of Success

I believe he's writing the last page. And he says the Lord whom ye seek. Well, let's wait a minute. Are we are we seeking the Lord? Now when I say that I'm not thinking about better if I'm thinking of the Church of God generally.

Are we seek it. Is the church seeking the Lord tonight, or is she seeking success? Is she seeking miracles? Is she seeking prosperity? What are we seeking? The scripture says the Lord whom ye seek shall what shall suddenly come to his temple.

Growing Stronger in the Place of Prayer

Don't go out and say like people say well, I made up my mind. I'm gonna pray four hours a day after this. Why don't you make your mind of you're running the Olympics tomorrow? There was much chance you don't change overnight.

We approximate to it we we get our muscles stronger and stronger in the place of prayer. You get to the place where you got a strength. You got a reach in his presence and laughing anybody else's friend.

Living for What Lasts

You rather God whisper a secret into your heart that breaks you. Somebody give you the prizes at all the world. Only one life to assume be passed. Only what's done for God will last. Only one life to assume be passed.

Only what's done for God will only one life to assume be passed. Only what's done for God will last.
