...revivals (or any other spiritual gifts and graces) come only to those who want them badly enough. It may be said without qualification that every man is as holy and as full of the Spirit as he wants to be. He may not be as full as he wishes he were, but he is most certainly as full as he wants to be.
Quote by -Aiden Wilson Tozer
It is altogether doubtful whether any man can be saved who comes to Christ for His help with no intention to obey Him.
Quote by -Aiden Wilson Tozer
It is time for us to seek again the leadership of the Holy Spirit. Man's lordship has cost us too much...
Quote by -Aiden Wilson Tozer
Man for all his genius is but an echo of the original Voice, a reflection of the uncreated Light.
Quote by -Aiden Wilson Tozer
The man or woman who is wholly or joyously surrendered to Christ can't make a wrong choice/any choice will be the right one.
Quote by -Aiden Wilson Tozer
God desires and is pleased to communicate with us through the avenues of our minds, our wills, and our emotions. The continuous and unembarrassed interchange of love and thought between God and the souls of the redeemed men and women is the throbbing heart of the New Testament.
Quote by -Aiden Wilson Tozer
Grace is the good pleasure of God that inclines him to bestow benefits upon the undeserving. It is a self-existent principle inherent in the divine nature and appears to us as a self-caused propensity to pity the wretched, spare the guilty, welcome the outcast, and bring into favor those who were before under just disapprobation. Its use to us sinful men is to save us and make us sit together in heavenly places to demonstrate to the ages the exceeding riches of God's kindness to us in Christ Jesus.
Quote by -Aiden Wilson Tozer
Men are free to decide their own moral choices, but they are also under the necessity to account to God for those choices.
Quote by -Aiden Wilson Tozer
Whatever a man wants badly and persistently enough will determine the man's character.
Quote by -Aiden Wilson Tozer
Men may flee from the sunlight to dark and musty caves of the earth, but they cannot put out the sun. So men may in any dispensation despise the grace of God, but they cannot extinguish it.
Quote by -Aiden Wilson Tozer
Plain horse sense ought to tell us that anything that makes no change in the man who professes it makes no difference to God, either.
Quote by -Aiden Wilson Tozer
Faith never means gullibility. The man who believes everything is as far from God as the man who refuses to believe anything.
Quote by -Aiden Wilson Tozer
We cannot grasp the true meaning of the divine holiness by thinking of someone or something very pure and then raising the concept to the highest degree we are capable of. God's holiness is not simply the best we know infinitely bettered. We know nothing like the divine holiness. It stands apart, unique, unapproachable, incomprehensible and unattainable. The natural man is blind to it. He may fear God's power and admire His wisdom, but His holiness he cannot even imagine.
Quote by -Aiden Wilson Tozer
Men are not revived because they sing; they sing because they are revived.
Quote by -Aiden Wilson Tozer
Man doesnt have the patience or the power to wait. But God does. He has all eternity to accomplish His purposes.
Quote by -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.
Quote by -Aiden Wilson Tozer
I would like to live to see the time when the men and woman of God - holy, separated and spiritually enlightened - walk out of the evangelical church and form a group of their own; when they get off the sinking ship and let her go down in the brackish and worldliness and form a new ark to ride out the storm.
Quote by -Aiden Wilson Tozer
I find that many men and women are troubled by the thought that they are too small and inconsequential in the scheme of things. But that is not our real trouble -- we are actually too big and too complex, for God made us in His image and we are too big to be satisfied with what the world offers us! ....Man is bored, because he is too big to be happy with that which sin is giving him. God has made him too great, his potential is too mighty.
Quote by -Aiden Wilson Tozer
Were we able to extract from any man a complete answer to the question, "What comes into your mind when you think about God?" we might predict with certainty the future of that man.
Quote by -Aiden Wilson Tozer
A man by his sin may waste himself, which is to waste that which on earth is most like God. This is man's greatest tragedy and God's heaviest grief.
Quote by -Aiden Wilson Tozer
The fact of God is necessary for the fact of man. Think God away and man has no ground of existence.
Quote by -Aiden Wilson Tozer
The Church has surrendered her once lofty concept of God and has substituted for it one so low, so ignoble, as to be utterly unworthy of thinking, worshiping men. This she has not done deliberately, but little by little and without her knowledge; and her very unawareness only makes her situation all the more tragic.
Quote by -Aiden Wilson Tozer
For this reason the gravest question before the Church is always God Himself, and the most portentous fact about any man is not what he at a given time may say or do, but what he is his deep heart conceives God to be like.
Quote by -Aiden Wilson Tozer
When we try to focus our thought upon One who is pure uncreated being we may see nothing at all, for He dwelleth in light that no man can approach unto. Only by faith and love are we able to glimpse Him as He passes by our shelter in the cleft of the rock.
Quote by -Aiden Wilson Tozer
A pharisee is hard on others and easy on himself, but a spiritual man is easy on others and hard on himself.
Quote by -Aiden Wilson Tozer
No man gives anything acceptable to God until has has first given himself in love and sacrifice.
Quote by -Aiden Wilson Tozer
The most critical need of the church at this moment is men, bold men, free men. The church must seek, in prayer and much humility, the coming again of men made of the stuff of which prophets and martyrs are made.
Quote by -Aiden Wilson Tozer
When Jesus died on the cross the mercy of God did not become any greater. It could not become any greater, for it was already infinite. We get the odd notion that God is showing mercy because Jesus died. No--Jesus died because God is showing mercy. It was the mercy of God that gave us Calvary, not Calvary that gave us mercy. If God had not been merciful there would have been no incarnation, no babe in the manger, no man on a cross and no open tomb.
Quote by -Aiden Wilson Tozer
Every ransomed man owes his salvation to the fact that during his days of sinning, God kept the door of mercy open.
Quote by -Aiden Wilson Tozer
Let a man set his heart only on doing the will of God and he is instantly free. No one can hinder him.
Quote by -Aiden Wilson Tozer
The faith of Christ offers no buttons to push for quick service. The new order must wait the Lord's own time, and that is too much for the man in a hurry. He just gives up and becomes interested in something else.
Quote by -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.
Quote by -Aiden Wilson Tozer
Let the average man be put to the proof on the question of who is above, and his true position will be exposed. Let him be forced into making a choice between God and money, between God and men, between God and personal ambition, God and self, God and human love, and God will take second place every time.
Quote by -Aiden Wilson Tozer
God has not bowed to our nervous haste nor embraced the methods of our machine age. The man who would know God must give time to Him....
Quote by -Aiden Wilson Tozer
The author squares man's depravity with still being made in the image of God with this word picture. A vase that has held beautiful roses though now broken, will nevertheless hold something of the fragrance it once contained.
Quote by -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.
Quote by -Aiden Wilson Tozer
The Universal Presence is a fact. God is here. And He is no strange or foreign God, but the familiar Father of our Lord Jesus Christ who love has for thousands of years enfolded the sinful race of men. And always He is trying to get our attention, to reveal Himself to us, to communicate with us. We have within us the ability to know Him if we will but respond to His overtures.
Quote by -Aiden Wilson Tozer
History is little more than the story of man's sin, and the daily newspaper a running commentary on it.
Quote by -Aiden Wilson Tozer
The yearning to know what cannot be known, to comprehend the incomprehensible, to touch and taste the unapproachable, arises from the image of God in the nature of man. Deep calleth unto deep, and though polluted and landlocked by the mighty disaster theologians call the Fall, the soul senses its origin and longs to return to its source.
Quote by -Aiden Wilson Tozer
True religion is removed from diet and days, from garments and ceremonies, and placed where it belongs - in the union of the spirit of man with the Spirit of God.
Quote by -Aiden Wilson Tozer
It is necessary for God to use the hammers, the file, and the furnace in His holy work of preparing a saint for true sainthood. It is doubtful whether God can bless a man greatly until He has hurt him deeply.
Quote by -Aiden Wilson Tozer
I believe that entertainment and amusements are the work of the Enemy to keep dying men from knowing they're dying; and to keep enemies of God from remembering that they're enemies.
Quote by -Aiden Wilson Tozer
God is never impressed with what a man can do. He is more concerned with what a man is.
