Faith is not a conclusion you reach...it's a journey you live.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
There is more healing joy in five minutes of true worship than in five nights of revelry.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
To pray with your fists closed means you're hanging onto something. Let it go. Open your hands to God.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
The widest thing in the universe is not space, it is the potential capacity of the human heart

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
Time is a resource that is non-renewable and non-transferable. You cannot store it, slow it up, hold it up, divide it up or give it up. You can’t hoard it up or save it for a rainy day—when it’s lost it is unrecoverable. When you kill time, remember that it has no resurrection.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
Spiritual Christians look upon the world not as a playground but as a battleground.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
Faith creates nothing it simply reckons upon that which is already there.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
Faith is not in itself a meritorious act the merit is in the One to Whom it is directed.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
The vague and tenuous hope that God is too kind to punish the ungodly has become a deadly opiate for the consciences of millions.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
Because we are the handiwork of God, it follows that all our problems and their solutions are theological.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
There can be no doubt that this possessive clinging to things is one of the most harmful habits in the [christian] life. Because it is so natural, it is rarely recognized for the evil that it is. But its outworkings are tragic.
