More quotes by Aiden Wilson Tozer
True religion is removed from diet and days, from garments and ceremonies, and placed where it belongs - in the union of the spirit of man with the Spirit of God.
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.

The Bible was written in tears, and to tears it yields its best treasures.

By nature, worship is not some performance we do, but a presence we experience.

God doesn't work through us because we're flawless rather, He works through us in spite of our imperfections.

Only after all the noise has spent itself do we begin to hear in the silence of our heart, the still, small, mighty voice of God.

Whoever will listen will hear the speaking heaven. This is definitely not the hour when men take kindly to an exhortation to listen, for listening is not today a part of popular religion. We are at the opposite end of the pole from there. Religion has accepted the monstrous heresy that noise, size, activity and bluster make a man dear to God.

When we allow God to be exalted in our difficulties we are in the perfect place to smell the fragrance of His Presence.

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 don't want the world to define God for me. I want the Holy Spirit to reveal God to me.

There is no place to hide but in the blood of the Lamb.

Men may flee from the sunlight to dark and musty caves of the earth, but they cannot put out the sun. So men may in any dispensation despise the grace of God, but they cannot extinguish it.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
Selfishness is never so exquisitely selfish as when it is on its knees. ... Self turns what would otherwise be a pure and powerful prayer into a weak and ineffective one.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
God works as long as His people live daringly He ceases when they no longer need His aid.

The best book is not one that informs merely, but one that stirs the reader up to inform himself.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
God's Kingdom isn't divided into areas of important people and areas of little people. In God's sight, everyone's needful.

The true Church has never sounded out public expectations before launching her mission. Her leaders heard from God, they knew their Lord's will and did it. Their people followed them - sometimes to triumph, oftener to insults and public persecution - and their sufficient reward was the satisfaction of being right in a wrong world!
Aiden Wilson Tozer
The main thing is this: we should never blame anyone or anything for our defeats. No matter how evil their intentions may be, they are altogether unable to harm us until we begin to blame them and use them as excuses for our own unbelief.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
If the Lord's people were only half as eager to be filled with the Spirit as they are to prove that they cannot be filled, the church would be crowded out.

Have you noticed how much praying for revival has been going on of late - and how little revival has resulted? I believe the problem is that we have been trying to substitute praying for obeying, and it simply will not work.
