I want the presence of God Himself, or I don't want anything at all to do with religion... I want all that God has or I don't want any.

More quotes by Aiden Wilson Tozer
We need to learn that truth consists not in correct doctrine, but in correct doctrine plus the inward enlightenment of the Holy Spirit.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
We are not diplomats but prophets, and our message is not a compromise but an ultimatum.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
Repentance isn't only sorrow for past sins, it's also a determination to now do the will of God as He reveals it to us
Aiden Wilson Tozer
Wise leaders should have known that the human heart cannot exist in a vacuum. If Christians are forbidden to enjoy the wine of the Spirit they will turn to the wine of the flesh....Christ died for our hearts and the Holy Spirit wants to come and satisfy them.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
What God declares the believing heart confesses without the need of further proof. Indeed, to seek proof is to admit doubt, and to obtain proof is to render faith superfluous.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
The Bible is a supernatural book and can be understood only by supernatural aid.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
The purpose of God isn't to save us from Hell. The purpose of God is to make us like Christ.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
All things else being equal, our prayers are only as powerful as our lives. In the long pull we only pray as well as we live.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
One compromise here, another there and soon enough the so-called Christian and the man in the world look the same.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
The labor of self-love is a heavy one indeed... The heart's fierce effort to protect itself from every slight, to shield its touchy honor from the bad opinion of friend and enemy, will never let the mind have rest.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
When God would make His Name known to mankind He could find no better word than I AM. When He speaks in the first person He says, I AM when we speak of Him we say, He is when we speak to Him we say, Thou art. Everyone and everything else measures from that fixed point. I am that I am, says God, I change not.

Holiness, as taught in the Scriptures, is not based upon knowledge on our part. Rather, it is based upon the resurrected Christ in-dwelling us and changing us into His likeness.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
There are two classes of Christians: the proud who imagine they are humble and the humble who are afraid they are proud. There should be another class: the self-forgetful who leave the whole thing in the hands of Christ and refuse to waste any time trying to make themselves good. They will reach the goal far ahead of the rest.

I cannot recall, in any of my reading, a single instance of a prophet who applied for the job.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
The Bible is not an end in itself, but a means to bring men to an intimate and satisfying knowledge of God, that they may enter into Him, that they may delight in His Presence, may taste and know the inner sweetness of the very God Himself in the core and center of their hearts.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
To be right with God has often meant to be in trouble with men.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
God did not write a book and send it by messenger to be read at a distance by unaided minds. He spoke a Book and lives in His spoken words, constantly speaking His words and causing the power of them to persist across the years.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
Let any man turn to God in earnest, let him begin to exercise himself unto godliness, let him seek to develop his powers of spiritual receptivity by trust and obedience and humility, and the results will exceed anything he may have hoped in his leaner and weaker days.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
The more fascinated we become with the toys of this world, the more we forget that there's another world to come.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
Whoever seeks God as a means toward desired ends will not find God. The mighty God, the maker of heaven and earth, will not be one of many treasures, not even the chief of all treasures. He will be all in all or He will be nothing. God will not be used.
