More quotes by Aiden Wilson Tozer
Christianity at any given time is strong or weak depending upon her concept of God.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
You know, we'll hardly get our feet out of time [and] into eternity that we'll bow our heads in shame and humiliation. We'll gaze on eternity and say, 'My God! Look at all the riches there were in Jesus Christ, and I've come to the Judgment Seat almost a pauper!
Aiden Wilson Tozer
Deliverance can come to us only by the defeat of our old life. Safety and peace come only after we have been forced to our knees. God rescues us by breaking us, by shattering our strength and wiping out our resistance.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
As long as we think we own anything, that thing owns us. As soon as we know that we own nothing, then God owns us.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
The sovereign God wants to be loved for Himself and honoured for Himself, but that is only part of what He wants. The other part is that He wants us to know that when we have Him we have everything - we have all the rest.

I am a Bible Christian and if an archangel with a wingspread as broad as a constellation shining like the sun were to come and offer me some new truth, I'd ask him for a reference. If he could not show me where it is found in the Bible, I would bow him out and say, I'm awfully sorry, you don't bring any references with you

No one will make progress with God until our eyes are lifted to the faithfulness of God and we stop looking at ourselves!

The neglected heart will soon be a heart overrun with worldly thoughts the neglected life will soon become a moral chaos.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
He (God) may sometimes chasten us, it is true, but even this He does with a smile, the proud, tender smile of a Father who is bursting with pleasure over an imperfect but promising son who is coming every day to look more and more like the One whose child he is.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
To truly know God we must long for Him without any other motive than reaching God Himself.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
To be right with God has often meant to be in trouble with men. This is such a common truth that one hesitates to mention it, yet it appears to have been overlooked by the majority of Christians today.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
Hardly anything else reveals so well the fear and uncertainty among men as the length to which they will go to hide their true selves from each other and even from their own eyes.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
Let God be true but every man a liar is the language of true faith
Aiden Wilson Tozer
I want to be in a place where I have to have God in everything I do . . . where God is indispensable to me.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
Let a man set his heart only on doing the will of God and he is instantly free. If we understand our first and sole duty to consist of loving God supremely and loving everyone, even our enemies, for God's dear sake, then we can enjoy spiritual tranquility under every circumstance.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
Prayer is never an acceptable substitute for obedience. The sovereign Lord accepts no offering from His creatures that is not accompanied by obedience. To pray for revival while ignoring or actually flouting the plain precept laid down in the Scriptures is to waste a lot of words and get nothing for our trouble.

The heart that is constantly overflowing with gratitude will be safe from those attacks of resentfulness and gloom that bother so many persons.

Father, may my song today be a sweet sound in Your ears-even if in Yours alone. Amen.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
What I am anxious to see in Christian believers is a beautiful paradox. I want to see in them the joy of finding God while at the same time they are blessedly pursuing Him. I want to see in them the great joy of having God yet always wanting Him.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
I have found God to be cordial and generous and in every way easy to live with.
