Aiden Wilson Tozer quotes about
joy gone delight
We may as well face it: the whole level of spirituality among us is low. We have measured ourselves by ourselves until the incentive to seek higher plateaus in the things of the Spirit is all but gone (We) have imitated the world, sought popular favor, manufactured delights to substitute for the joy of the Lord and produced a cheap and synthetic power to substitute for the power of the Holy Ghost.
god christian religious
As long as we think we own anything, that thing owns us. As soon as we know that we own nothing, then God owns us.
presence-of-god
We cannot enter into the presence of God while we are rebelling against God.
heart atmosphere pulse
Hope is the music of the whole Bible, the heartbeat, the pulse and the atmosphere of the whole Bible.
christian real trying
For millions of Christians, nevertheless, God is no more real than He is to the non-Christian. They go through life trying to love an ideal and be loyal to a mere principle.
life christian men
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. His Christian life ceases to be the complicated thing it had been before and becomes the very essence of simplicity.
christian voice decided
Most Christians don't hear God's voice because we've already decided we aren't going to do what He says.
inspirational hurt love-is
There is no fear in love, but perfect love casteth out fear. Fear is a painful emotion that arises at the thought that we may be harmed or made to suffer. As long as we must trust for survival to our ability to out look or out maneuver the enemy, we have every good reason to be afraid. Fear is torment. To know that love is of God and to enter into the secret place leaning upon the arm of the Beloved, this and only this can cast out fear.
letting-go struggle humility
The meek man will attain a place of soul rest. As he walks on in meekness he will be happy to let God defend him. The old struggle to defend himself is over. He has found the peace which meekness brings.
rain sunshine sheep
The constantly recurring question must be: What shall we unite with and from what shall we separate? The question of coexistence does not enter here, but the question of union and fellowship does. The wheat grows in the same field as the tares, but shall the two cross-pollinate? The sheep graze near the goats, but shall they seek to interbreed? The unjust and the just enjoy the same rain and sunshine, but shall they forget their deep moral differences and intermarry? ... The Spirit-illuminated church will have none of this
sunday shapes worship
If in our Saturday pursuits we're far from God's presence, we're not in very good shape to worship Him on Sunday.
enlightenment needs inward
We need to learn that truth consists not in correct doctrine, but in correct doctrine plus the inward enlightenment of the Holy Spirit.
trying sun bright-days
Trying to be happy without a sense of God’s presence is like trying to have a bright day without the sun.
opportunity each-day new-opportunity
Each day presents a new opportunity to experience God's presence.
