More quotes by Aiden Wilson Tozer
I am looking for the fellowship of the burning heart--for men and women of all generations everywhere who love the Savior until adoration becomes the music of their soul until they don't have to be fooled with and entertained and amused. Jesus Christ is everything, all-in-all.

Such words as amen, hallelujah, glory and others of like sacred association are repeated endlessly and meaninglessly in the apparent belief that they have in them some strange power for good. This can be no more than high-grade magic. It will pay us to search our own hearts thoroughly to discover just why we use these words.

Men who refuse to worship the true God now worship themselves with tender devotion.

We must never edit God.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
Left to ourselves we tend immediately to reduce God to manageable terms.

The Spirit-filled life is not a special, deluxe edition of Christianity. It is part and parcel of the total plan of God for His people.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
I did not go through the Book. The Book went through me.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
Keep my eyes fixed on You, Lord. Help me to stop tinkering and realize my total inability to change. I look to You to change me and give me victory as I focus on Your friendly eyes looking lovingly at me. Amen.

What good is all our busy religion if God isn't in it? What good is it if we've lost majesty, reverence, worship-an awareness of the divine? What good is it if we've lost a sense of the Presence and the ability to retreat within our own hearts and meet God in the garden?
Aiden Wilson Tozer
No one can know truth except the one who obeys truth. You think you know truth. People memorize the Scriptures by the yard, but that is not a guarantee of knowing the truth. Truth is not a text. Truth is in the text, but it takes the text plus the Holy Spirit to bring truth to a human soul.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
To know the Creator and the God of all the universe is to revere Him. It is to bow down before Him in wonder and awesome fear.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
Perhaps it takes a purer faith to praise God for unrealized blessings than for those we once enjoyed or those we enjoy now.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
No religion has ever been greater than its idea of God.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
God's gifts are many His best gift is one. It is the gift of Himself.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
...revivals (or any other spiritual gifts and graces) come only to those who want them badly enough. It may be said without qualification that every man is as holy and as full of the Spirit as he wants to be. He may not be as full as he wishes he were, but he is most certainly as full as he wants to be.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
We can take whatever path in worship we choose, but not all paths will end at the feet of Jesus.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
The purpose of good works isn't to change us or save us rather, it's the demonstration of the change within us.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
Real faith never disappoints because it is in God, grounded on His character, promises, covenant and oath.
