The man who preaches truth and applies it to the lives of his hearers will feel the nails and the thorns. He will lead a hard life, but a glorious one. May God raise up many such prophets. The church needs them badly.

More quotes by Aiden Wilson Tozer
The unattended garden will soon be overrun with weeds the heart that fails to cultivate truth and root out error will shortly be a theological wilderness.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
When a man falls on his knees and stretches his hands heavenward, he is doing the most natural thing in the world.

Every ransomed man owes his salvation to the fact that during his days of sinning, God kept the door of mercy open.

We must do worldly jobs, but if we do them with sanctified minds, they become offerings to God.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
The meek man will attain a place of soul rest. As he walks on in meekness he will be happy to let God defend him. The old struggle to defend himself is over. He has found the peace which meekness brings.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
We pursue God because, and only because, He has first put an urge within us that spurs us to the pursuit.

People have faith in 'faith' and largely forget that our confidence is not in the power of faith but in the Person and work of the Savior, Jesus Christ.

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.

Let a man set his heart only on doing the will of God and he is instantly free. No one can hinder him.

True faith is never found alone it is accompanied by expectation.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
Our gifts and talents should also be turned over to Him. They should be recognized for what they are, God's loan to us, and should never be considered in any sense our own
Aiden Wilson Tozer
We have full confidence in Jesus Christ. Our confidence rises as the character of God becomes greater and more trustworthy to our spiritual comprehension. The One with whom we deal is the One who embodies faithfulness and truth-the One who cannot lie.

The most critical need of the church at this moment is men, bold men, free men. The church must seek, in prayer and much humility, the coming again of men made of the stuff of which prophets and martyrs are made.

The idea that God will pardon a rebel who has not given up his rebellion is contrary both to the Scriptures and to common sense.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
Christians alone are in a position to rescue the perishing. We dare not settle down to try to live as if things were 'normal.' Nothing is normal while sin and lust and death roam the world, pouncing upon one and another till the whole population has been destroyed.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
The history of mankind will probably show that no people has ever risen above its religion, and man's spiritual history will positively demonstrate that no religion has ever been greater than its idea of God.

God cannot use a man or woman greatly until he wounds them deeply.

Always the most revealing thing about the church is her idea of God.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
For it is not mere words that nourish the soul, but God Himself, and unless and until the hearers find God in personal experience they are not the better for having heard the truth.
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.
