Deliverance can come to us only by the defeat of our old life. Safety and peace come only after we have been forced to our knees. God rescues us by breaking us, by shattering our strength and wiping out our resistance.

More quotes by Aiden Wilson Tozer
Powerless religion may put a man through many surface changes and leave him exactly what he was before.
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.

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
The devil loves it when we say we believe then prioritize everything in our lives ahead of God.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
To desire revival...and at the same time to neglect(personal) prayer and devotion is to wish one way and walk another.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
Faith is seeing the invisible, but not the nonexistent.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
God is raising up His heroes and the time will come when they will appear and the world will wonder where they came from.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
God works as long as His people live daringly He ceases when they no longer need His aid.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
This is the tragedy and woe of the hour--that we neglect the most important One who could possibly be in our midst--the Holy Spirit of God. Then, in order to make up for His absence, we have to do something to keep up our own spirits.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
When the Holy Spirit is in full control of our lives, He will expect our obedience to the written Word of God. But it is part of our human problem that we would like to be full of the Spirit and yet go on and do as we please!
Aiden Wilson Tozer
Nothing in or of this world measures up to the simple pleasure of experiencing the presence of God.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
Without doubt, the mightiest thought the mind can entertain is the thought of God, and the weightest word in any language is its word for God.
