Can You Sit At Ease? – Leonard Ravenhill

Can you sit at ease in Zion with the world around you DAMNED?

The Law of Prayer – Leonard Ravenhill
The law of prayer is the law of harvest: sow sparingly in prayer, reap sparingly; sow bountifully in prayer, reap bountifully. The trouble is we are trying to get from our efforts what we never put into them.
