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.

More quotes by Aiden Wilson Tozer
What I cannot know by reason, I can know by simply believing.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
If you never mention the Lord in conversation with each other,isn't that proof that you aren't so concerned about Him?
Aiden Wilson Tozer
Let the average man be put to the proof on the question of who is above, and his true position will be exposed. Let him be forced into making a choice between God and money, between God and men, between God and personal ambition, God and self, God and human love, and God will take second place every time.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
Too often we are Christians by assumption, manipulation or instruction, rather than Christians by regeneration.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
The church that is not jealously protected by mighty intercession and sacrificial labors will before long become the abode of every evil bird and the hiding place for unsuspected corruption. The creeping wilderness will soon take over that church that trusts in its own strength and forgets to watch and pray.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
In Christ and by Christ, God effects complete self-disclosure , although He shows Himself not to reason but to faith and love. Faith is an organ of knowledge, and love an organ of experience. God came to us in the incarnation in atonement He reconciled us to Himself, and by faith and love we enter and lay hold on Him.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
Trust God in the dark until the light returns.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
Leadership requires vision, and whence will vision come except from hours spent in the presence of God in humble and fervent prayer?
Aiden Wilson Tozer
A whole new generation of Christians has come up believing that it is possible to 'accept' Christ without forsaking the world.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
If the Holy Spirit was withdrawn from the church today, 95 percent of what we do would go on and no one would know the difference. If the Holy Spirit had been withdrawn from the New Testament church, 95 percent of what they did would stop, and everybody would know the difference.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
The heart that knows God can find God anywhere.
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 superior Christian lets God strip him of everything that might serve as a false refuge, a secondary trust.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
May God keep fresh the fountain of our laughter and our tears!
Aiden Wilson Tozer
Religion is interested primarily in the One who is the source of all things, the master of every phenomenon.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
Whom God would use greatly He will hurt deeply.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
Wherever we turn in the church of God, there is Jesus. He is the beginning, middle and end of everything to us.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
The reason why many are still troubled, still seeking, still making little forward progress is because they haven't yet come to the end of themselves. We're still trying to give orders, and interfering with God's work within us.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
The blessed and inviting truth is that God is the most winsome of all beings and in our worship of Him we should find unspeakable pleasure.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
The man who has made God his dwelling place will always have a safe habitation.
