When the Spirit illuminates the heart, then a part of the man sees which never saw before a part of him knows which never knew before, and that with a kind of knowing which the most acute thinker cannot imitate.

More quotes by Aiden Wilson Tozer
An idol of the mind is as offensive to God as an idol of the hand.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
Let her love God as He is in Himself, and not as her imagination says He is, and pictures Him.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
Though the cross of Christ has been beautified by the poet and the artist, the avid seeker after God is likely to find it the same savage implement of destruction it was in the days of old. The way of the cross is still the pain-wracked path to spiritual power and fruitfulness.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
God wants us to worship Him. He doesn't need us, for He couldn't be a self-sufficient God and need anything or anybody, but He wants us. When Adam sinned it was not he who cried, 'God, where art Thou?' It was God who cried, 'Adam, where art thou?'

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
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.

Until the Bible begins to talk to us, we really have not been reading it.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
There is a better way. It is to repudiate our own wisdom and take instead the infinite wisdom of God.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
Promoting self under the guise of promoting Christ is currently so common as to excite little notice.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
Trying to be happy without a sense of God’s presence is like trying to have a bright day without the sun.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
We should discipline ourselves to read the Word until it comes alive...until we can almost feel the breath of God.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
The idea of the divine-human friendship originated with God. Had not God said first 'Ye are my friends?' (John 15:14)
Aiden Wilson Tozer
The heart that knows God can find God anywhere.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
Christian liberty is freedom from sin, not freedom to sin.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
Pure Christianity, instead of being shaped by its environment, actually stands in sharp opposition to it.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
Unselfish love does not exploit its object and it does not ask for anything in return.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
God does not love us because we are hard or easy to love, He loves us because He is God.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
If we insist upon trying to imagine Him, we end with an idol, made not with hands but with thoughts and an idol of the mind is as offensive to God as an idol of the hand.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
An honest man is strange when he is among dishonest men, but it is a good kind of strangeness.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
Men are not revived because they sing they sing because they are revived.
