As long as we think we own anything, that thing owns us. As soon as we know that we own nothing, then God owns us.

More quotes by Aiden Wilson Tozer
May not the inadequacy of much of our spiritual experience be traced back to our habit of skipping through the corridors of the Kingdom like children in the market place, chattering about everything, but pausing to learn the value of nothing.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
The Word of God well understood and religiously obeyed is the shortest route to spiritual perfection. And we must not select a few favorite passages to the exclusion of others. Nothing less than a whole Bible can make a whole Christian.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
Perhaps it takes a purer faith to praise God for unrealized blessings than for those we once enjoyed or those we enjoy now.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
We must never allow the majority to overrule the clear teaching of the Word of God.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
The idea that this world is a playground instead of a battleground has now been accepted in practice by the vast majority of Christians... The 'worship' growing out of such a view of life is as far off center as the view itself - a sort of sanctified nightclub without the champagne and the dressed-up drunks.
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
We can afford to follow Him to failure. Faith dares to fail. The resurrection and the judgment will demonstrate before all worlds who won and who lost. We can wait.

Nothing bothers the devil more than a Christian delighting in God’s presence.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
Progress in the Christian life is exactly equal to the growing knowledge we gain of the Triune God in personal experience.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
God loves us for ourselves. He values our love more than he values galaxies of new created worlds.

I would like to live to see the time when the men and woman of God - holy, separated and spiritually enlightened - walk out of the evangelical church and form a group of their own when they get off the sinking ship and let her go down in the brackish and worldliness and form a new ark to ride out the storm.

It's hard to rest knowing that millions of people merely carry on religious traditions but don't actually reach God.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
Any faith that does not command the one who holds it is not a real belief it is a pseudo belief only. And it might shock some of us profoundly if we were brought suddenly face to face with our beliefs and forced to test them in the fires of practical living.
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
If we possess nothing, God will allow us to have plenty.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
We Christians must simplify our lives or lose untold treasures on earth and in eternity.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
God dwells in eternity but time dwells in God. He has already lived all our tomorrows as He has lived all our yesterdays.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
The creeping wilderness will soon take over that church that trusts in its own strength and forgets to watch and pray.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
All the problems of heaven and earth, though they were to confront us together and at once, would be nothing compared with that overwhelming problem of God: That He is what He is like and what we as moral beings must do about Him.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
The Spirit-filled life is not a special, deluxe edition of Christianity. It is part and parcel of the total plan of God for His people.
