If the Lord's people were only half as eager to be filled with the Spirit as they are to prove that they cannot be filled, the church would be crowded out.

More quotes by 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 task of the church is twofold: to spread Christianity throughout the world and to make sure that the Christianity she spreads is the pure New Testament kind.

May God keep fresh the fountain of our laughter and our tears!
Aiden Wilson Tozer
Where God is not glorified, that place is sick

Be hard on yourself and easy on others. Carry your own cross but never lay one on the back of another
Aiden Wilson Tozer
The only cross in all of history that was turned into an altar was the cross on which Jesus Christ died. It was a Roman cross. They nailed Him on it, and God, in His majesty and mystery, turned it into an altar. The Lamb who was dying in the mystery and wonder of God was turned into the Priest who offered Himself. No one else was a worthy offering.

We operate by faith, which means that we have confidence in what God says, whether we fully understand it or not
Aiden Wilson Tozer
What is needed desperately today is prophetic insight. Scholars can interpret the past it takes prophets to interpret the present.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
Much of our difficulty as seeking Christians stems from our unwillingness to take God as He is and adjust our lives accordingly. We insist upon trying to modify Him and bring Him nearer to our own image.

Very few things in life matter.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
I want to live so fully in the Spirit that...every act of my life may be an act of worship.
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.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
It is useless for large companies of believers to spend long hours begging God to send revival. Unless we intend to reform we may as well not pray. Unless praying men have the insight and faith to amend their whole way of life to conform to the New Testament pattern there can be no true revival.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
Worshipers never leave church...we carry our sanctuary with us wherever we go.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
Christians must understand most emphatically that the world around us is in conflict with the Word within us.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
Wherever the Word comes without power its essential content is missed.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
What God declares the believing heart confesses without the need of further proof. Indeed, to seek proof is to admit doubt, and to obtain proof is to render faith superfluous.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
The experiences of men who walked with God in olden times agree to teach that the Lord cannot fully bless the a man until He has first conquered him. The degree of blessing enjoyed by any man will correspond exactly with the completeness of God's victory over him.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
Our most pressing obligation is to do all in our power to obtain a revival that will result in a reformed, revitalized, purified church. Each generation of Christians is the seed of the next, and degenerate seed is sure to produce a degenerate harvest.

Honesty that can be trusted and respected is a very fragrant flower in the life of a Christian.
