When a man falls on his knees and stretches his hands heavenward, he is doing the most natural thing in the world.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
Complacency is a deadly foe of all spiritual growth. Acute desire must be present or there will be no manifestation of Christ to His people. He waits to be wanted. Too bad that with many of us He waits so long, so very long, in vain.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
If a man has only correct doctrine to offer me, I am sure to slip out at the first intermission to seek the company of someone who has seen for himself how lovely is the face of Him who is the Rose of Sharon and the Lily of the Valley. Such a man can help me, and no one else can.

To be effective the preacher's message must be alive it must alarm, arouse, challenge it must be God's present voice to a particular people.

If the envious, the defamers and the backbiters were taken out of the average church, there would be revival overnight.

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.

Our walk by faith, if it is true biblical faith, will get us in trouble.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
Lord, how great is our dilemma! In Thy Presence silence best becomes us, yet love inflames our hearts and constrains us to speak.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
We go astray when we think that we can do spiritual work without spiritual power.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
There has been grave error. I do not mean so much error of doctrine as error of emphasis.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
It is either all of Christ or none of Christ! I believe we need to preach again a whole Christ to the world - a Christ who does not need our apologies, a Christ who will not be divided, a Christ who will either be Lord of all or will not be Lord at all!
Aiden Wilson Tozer
As Christians, we are not to be people without feelings.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
For myself, I long ago decided that I would rather know the truth than be happy in ignorance. If I can not have both truth and happiness, give me truth. We’ll have a long time to be happy in heaven.

The man who has been taught by the Holy Spirit will be a seer rather than a scholar. The difference is that the scholar sees and the seer sees through and that is a mighty difference indeed.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
Pseudo faith always arranges a way out to serve in case God fails it. Real faith knows only one way and gladly allows itself to be stripped of any second way or makeshift substitutes. For true faith, it is either God or total collapse.

You win them to what you win them with.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
We are often hindered from giving up our treasures to the Lord out of fear for their safety this is especially true when those treasures are loved relatives and friends. But we need have no such fears. Our Lord came not to destroy but to save. Everything is safe which we commit to Him, and nothing is really safe which is not so committed.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
God wants us to know that when we have Him, we have everything.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
The Christian is a holy rebel loose in the world with access to the throne of God.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
What I am anxious to see in Christian believers is a beautiful paradox. I want to see in them the joy of finding God while at the same time they are blessedly pursuing Him. I want to see in them the great joy of having God yet always wanting Him.
