More quotes by Aiden Wilson Tozer
Worship is to feel in your heart and express in some appropriate manner a humbling but delightful sense of admiring awe and astonished wonder and overpowering love in the presence of that most Ancient Mystery, that Majesty which philosophers call the first cause, but which we call our Father which art in heaven.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
The man who is seriously convinced that he deserves hell is not likely to go there, while the man who believes that he is worthy of heaven will certainly never enter that blessed place.

We need never shout across the spaces to an absent God. He is nearer than our own soul, closer than our most secret thoughts

I want to be in a place where I have to have God in everything I do . . . where God is indispensable to me.

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.

Our problem is that we go from toy to toy rather than from glory to glory.

What is needed desperately today is prophetic insight. Scholars can interpret the past it takes prophets to interpret the present.

Wise leaders should have known that the human heart cannot exist in a vacuum. If Christians are forbidden to enjoy the wine of the Spirit they will turn to the wine of the flesh....Christ died for our hearts and the Holy Spirit wants to come and satisfy them.

Trying to be happy without a sense of God’s presence is like trying to have a bright day without the sun.

It takes simplicity and humility to worship God acceptably.

Nothing that comes from God will minister to my pride of self-congratulation. If I am tempted to be complacent and to feel superior because I have had a remarkable vision or an advanced spiritual experience, I should go at once to my knees and repent of the whole thing. I have fallen victim to the enemy.

When we allow God to be exalted in our difficulties we are in the perfect place to smell the fragrance of His Presence.

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
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.

The man who comes to a right belief about God is relieved of ten thousand temporal problems.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
Let the seeking man reach a place where life and lips join to say continually, Be thou exalted, and a thousand minor problems will be solved at once.

My miseries have always come out of my own flesh, never from any burden Jesus has laid on me.
