More quotes by 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.

People have faith in 'faith' and largely forget that our confidence is not in the power of faith but in the Person and work of the Savior, Jesus Christ.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
If we can trust the sufferings of Christ for our sake then we can trust Christ when we suffer for His sake.

You can blame circumstances, but backsliding always begins in the heart.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
All things as they move toward God are beautiful, and they are ugly as they move away from Him.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
We are saved to worship God. All that Christ has done in the past and all that He is doing now leads to this one end.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
For it is not mere words that nourish the soul, but God Himself, and unless and until the hearers find God in personal experience they are not the better for having heard the truth.

If you have to be reasoned into Christianity, some wise fellow can reason you out of it! If you come to Christ by a flash of the Holy Spirit so that by intuition you know that you are God's child, you know it by the text but you also know it by the inner light, the inner illumination of the Spirit, and no one can ever reason you out of it.

A Christian should put away all defense and make no attempt to excuse himself either in his own eyes or before the Lord. Whoever defends himself will have himself for his defense, and he will have no other. But let him come defenseless before the Lord and he will have for his defender no less than God Himself.

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.

We go astray when we think that we can do spiritual work without spiritual power.

When our Lord looked at us, He saw not only what we were -- He was faithful in seeing what we could become! He took away the curse of being and gave us the glorious blessing of becoming.

Faith is not a once-done act, but a continuous gaze of the heart at the Triune God.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
When I am praying the most eloquently, I am getting the least accomplished in my prayer life. But when I stop getting eloquent and give God less theology and shut up and just gaze upward and wait for God to speak to my heart He speaks with such power that I have to grab a pencil and a notebook and take notes on what God is saying to my heart.

God rescues us by breaking us, by shattering our strength and wiping out our resistance.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
If I am to wholly follow the Lord Jesus Christ, I must forsake everything that is contrary to Him.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
You can see God from anywhere if your mind is set to love and obey Him.

Secularism, materialism, and the intrusive presence of things have put out the light in our souls and turned us into a generation of zombies.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
Holiness has nothing to do with what we know and everything to do with Who we know.

Prayer is always in danger of degenerating into a glorified gold rush. How to get things from God occupies most [books].
