| | Grieving The Spirit by Leonard Ravenhill
Topic: Grieving The Spirit | | Description: A gripping sermon where Leonard Ravenhill preaches on the grieving of the Holy Spirit. Ravenhill is convinced the reason we do not see the power of the Spirit today can be found from the following verse: "the Spirit was not yet given, because Jesus was not yet glorified." (John 7:39) This is perhaps one of Ravenhill's best sermons.

Ravenhill in this sermon is very intense and forthright. By far this is where the intensity is best. But the tape quality is not good in the first part. Praise God for Ravenhill! Still ablaze...

I think this is one of his sermons where he is "charged up" more than others. He is preaching to fellow Holiness Christians so he lets them have it the way someone would speak to their own. The beginning is a little slow, but there are some great points and illustrations. My favorite is the section about rings (19:00). The audio is better on the latter section. Favorite one-liner (21:59), "Some of the folk who are the most rigid in tradition are as dead as dishwater."

Grieving the Spirit . . . and the listener

I did not give this 2 stars just because of Ravenhill's preaching, but also because I could hardly make out what he was even saying. I downloaded the mp3 and burned it onto CD and of all the older and probably digitized Ravenhill recordings, this was one of the least intelligible in terms of the clearness of the recording. I was able to make out significant sections of the message, and I do not evaluate it to be one of Ravenhill's densest or hottest preachings. In fact, since Ravenhill has been appreciated recently for "rebuking laughing pastors", he tells too many jokes in this message for me. I wish he were more sober on this occasion. The Indian man praying at the beginning is a bit of a distraction, also, since he is probably a bit away from the recorder and not as audible. There is definitely some good Ravenhill in here, but you can get better by going with most of his other messages.
