Aiden Wilson Tozer quotes about
want needs nevertheless
God doesn't need anything nevertheless He wants worshipers.
creator-god needs sovereign
To admit the existence of a need in God is to admit incompleteness in the divine Being. Need is a creature-word and cannot be spoken of the Creator. God has a voluntary relationg to everything He has made, but He has no Necessary relation to anything outside of Himself. His interest in His creatures arises from His sovereign good pleasure, not from any need those creatures can supply nor from any completeness they can dring to Him who is complete in himself.
moving imperfection needs
Teach us, O God, that nothing is necessary to Thee. Were anything necessary to Thee that thing would be the measure of Thine imperfection: and how could we worship one who is imperfect? If nothing is necessary to Thee, then no one is necessary, and if no one, then not we. Thou dost seek us though Thou does not need us. We seek Thee because we need Thee, for in Thee we live and move and have our being. Amen.
needs logic found
We have been snared in the coils of a spurious logic which insists that if we have found Him we need no more seek Him.
christian jesus needs
One thing the young Christian should be taught as quickly as possible after his conversion is that Jesus Christ is all he needs.
heart mind needs
The unbelieving mind would not be convinced by any proof, and the worshiping heart needs none.
needs way sticks
The best way to prove that a stick is crooked is to set a straight one beside it. No words need to be spoken.
grace needs thirsty
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.
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.
art self needs
God wants us to worship Him. He doesn't need us, for He couldn't be a self-sufficient God and need anything or anybody, but He wants us. When Adam sinned it was not He who cried, "God, where art Thou?" It was God who cried, "Adam, where art thou?"
men needs may
God may allow His servant to succeed when He has disciplined him to a point where he does not need to succeed to be happy. The man who is elated by success and is cast down by failure is still a carnal man. At best his fruit will have a worm in it.
fearless church needs
A scared world needs a fearless church.
long people needs
God works as long as His people live daringly; He ceases when they no longer need His aid.
christian religious exercise
I say that a Christian congregation can survive and often appear to prosper in the community by the exercise of human talent and without any touch from the Holy Spirit! All that religious activity and the dear people will not know anything better until the great and terrible day when our self-employed talents are burned with fire and only that which was wrought by the Holy Ghost will stand forever!
