More quotes by Aiden Wilson Tozer
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.

And what kind of habitation pleases God? What must our natures be like before he can feel at home within us? He asks nothing but a pure heart and a single mind. He asks no rich paneling, no rugs from the Orient, no art treasures from afar. He desires but sincerity, transparency, humility, and love. He will see to the rest.

God formed us for His pleasure, and so formed us that we as well as He can in divine communion enjoy the sweet and mysterious mingling of kindred personalities. He meant us to see Him and live with Him and draw our life from His smile.

The true Church has never sounded out public expectations before launching her mission. Her leaders heard from God, they knew their Lord's will and did it. Their people followed them - sometimes to triumph, oftener to insults and public persecution - and their sufficient reward was the satisfaction of being right in a wrong world!

Because we have shut out the Holy Spirit in so many ways, we are stumbling along as though we are spiritually blindfolded.

Unbelief is actually perverted faith, for it puts its trust, not in the living God but in dying men. The unbeliever denies the selfsufficiency of God and usurps attributes that are not his. This dual sin dishonors God and ultimately destroys the soul of man.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
If we insist upon trying to imagine Him, we end with an idol, made not with hands but with thoughts and an idol of the mind is as offensive to God as an idol of the hand.

Genuine Christian experience must always include an encounter with God Himself.

Everything is wrong until Jesus sets it right.

I claim the holy right to disappoint men in order to avoid disappointing God.

Our walk by faith, if it is true biblical faith, will get us in trouble.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
Salvation is from our side a choice, from the divine side it is a seizing upon, an apprehending, a conquest by the Most High God. Our 'accepting' and 'willing' are reactions rather than actions. The right of determination must always remain with God.

Holiness has nothing to do with what we know and everything to do with Who we know.

Any manipulation of the Scriptures to make them speak peace to the natural man is evil and can only lead to ruin.

A holy man isn't aware that he's holy..As soon as we begin to talk about how holy we are, we aren't holy any more.

O God, I have tasted Thy goodness, and it has both satisfied me and made me thirsty for more. I am painfully conscious of my need for further grace.

The creeping wilderness will soon take over that church that trusts in its own strength and forgets to watch and pray.

What's closest to your heart is what you talk about, and if God is close to your heart, you'll talk about Him.
