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 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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
No man gives anything acceptable to God until has has first given himself in love and sacrifice.
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
Men are not revived because they sing; they sing because they are revived.
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
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
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
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
Whatever a man wants badly and persistently enough will determine the man's character.
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
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
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
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
Man for all his genius is but an echo of the original Voice, a reflection of the uncreated Light.
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
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
...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
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.
Quote by -Aiden Wilson Tozer
Until self-effacing men return again to spiritual leadership, we may expect a progressive deterioration in the quality of popular Christianity year after year till we reach the point where the grieved Holy Spirit withdraws - like the Shekinah from the temple.
Quote by -Aiden Wilson Tozer
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.
Quote by -Aiden Wilson Tozer
Let no one imagine that he will lose anything of human dignity by this voluntary sell-out of his all to his God. He does not by this degrade himself as a man; rather he finds his right place of high honor as one made in the image of his Creator. His deep disgrace lay in his moral derangement, his unnatural usurpation of the place of God. His honor will be proved by restoring again that stolen throne. In exalting God over all, he finds his own highest honor upheld.
Quote by -Aiden Wilson Tozer
A church can wither as surely under the ministry of soulless Bible exposition as it can where no Bible is given. 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. Then, and not till then, is it the prophetic word and the man himself a prophet.
Quote by -Aiden Wilson Tozer
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.
Quote by -Aiden Wilson Tozer
A true and safe leader is likely to be one who has no desire to lead, but is forced into a position by the inward pressure of the Holy Spirit and the press of [circumstances]... The man who is ambitious to lead is disqualified as a leader. The true leader will have no desire to lord it over God's heritage, but will be humble, gentle, self-sacrificing and altogether ready to follow when the Spirit chooses another to lead.
Quote by -Aiden Wilson Tozer
The spiritual man habitually makes eternity-judgments instead of time-judgments. By faith he rises above the tug of earth and the flow of time and learns to think and feel as one who has already left the world and gone to join the innumerable company of angels and the general assembly and Church of the First-born which are written in heaven. Such a man would rather be useful than famous and would rather serve than be served. And all this must be by the operation of the Holy Spirit within him. No man can become spiritual by himself. Only the free Spirit can make a man spiritual.
