More quotes by Aiden Wilson Tozer
[Prayer] takes no time, but it occupies all our time.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
Pay no heed to the passing religious vogue. Go back to the grass roots. Open your hearts and search the Scriptures. Bear your cross, follow your Lord. The masses are always wrong. In every generation the number of the righteous is small. Be sure you are among them.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
The man who comes to a right belief about God is relieved of ten thousand temporal problems.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
Breezy, self-confident Christians tell us how wonderful it is to accept Christ and then have a good time all the rest of your life the Lord won't demand anything of you. Yes, He will, my friend! The Lord will demand everything of you. And when you give it all up to Him, He may bless it and hand it back, but on the other hand He may not.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
I believe that the imperative need of the day is not simply revival, but a radical reformation that will go to the root of our moral and spiritual maladies and deal with causes rather than with consequences, with the disease rather than with symptoms.

God doesn't work through us because we're flawless rather, He works through us in spite of our imperfections.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
We often try to put God in a box. The God who fits in our boxes isn't the God & Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
We can be in our day what the heroes of faith were in their day - but remember at the time they didn't know they were heroes.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
It is possible that we can get so busy doing work 'for' the Lord that we have no time FOR the Lord.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
True and absolute freedom is only found in the presence of God.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
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.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
Let the average man be put to the proof on the question of who is above, and his true position will be exposed. Let him be forced into making a choice between God and money, between God and men, between God and personal ambition, God and self, God and human love, and God will take second place every time.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
Too often we are Christians by assumption, manipulation or instruction, rather than Christians by regeneration.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
I think that most Christians would be better pleased if the Lord did not inquire into their personal affairs too closely. They want Him to save them, to keep them happy, and to take them off to heaven at last, but not to be too inquisitive about their conduct or services.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
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.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
How completely satisfying to turn from [our] limitations to a God who has none.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
Maybe God is calling you to do something extraordinary that isn't on your calendar something to revive your soul!
Aiden Wilson Tozer
God loves you not because you are worthy, but because He is God and you are a fixture in His mind.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
Be hard on yourself and easy on others. Carry your own cross but never lay one on the back of another
Aiden Wilson Tozer
Love is both a principle and an emotion it is something both felt and willed. It is capable of almost infinite degrees. Love in the human heart may begin so modestly as to be hardly perceptible and go on to become a raging torrent that sweeps its possessor before it in total helplessness.
