God doesn't need anything nevertheless He wants worshipers. Aiden Wilson Tozer More Quotes by Aiden Wilson Tozer More Quotes From Aiden Wilson Tozer The way to deeper knowledge of God is through the lonely valleys of soul poverty and abnegation of all things. The blessed ones who possess the Kingdom are they who have repudiated every external thing and have rooted from their hearts all sense of possessing. These are the 'poor in spirit.' Aiden Wilson Tozer lonelyblessedheart The man who has God for his treasure has all things in one. Aiden Wilson Tozer treasureall-thingsmen No one can know the true grace of God who has not first known the fear of God. Aiden Wilson Tozer graceknowsfirsts Teach us to know that we cannot know, for the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God. Let faith support us where reason fails, and we shall think because we believe, not in order that we may believe. Aiden Wilson Tozer menbelievethinking If we cooperate with Him in loving obedience, God will manifest Himself to us, and that manifestation will be the difference between a nominal Christian life and a life radiant with the light of His face. Aiden Wilson Tozer loving-lifelightchristian One compromise here, another there and soon enough the so-called Christian and the man in the world look the same. Aiden Wilson Tozer religiouschristiangod He (God) may sometimes chasten us, it is true, but even this He does with a smile, the proud, tender smile of a Father who is bursting with pleasure over an imperfect but promising son who is coming every day to look more and more like the One whose child he is. Aiden Wilson Tozer christianfatherchildren I am a Bible Christian and if an archangel with a wingspread as broad as a constellation shining like the sun were to come and offer me some new truth, I'd ask him for a reference. If he could not show me where it is found in the Bible, I would bow him out and say, I'm awfully sorry, you don't bring any references with you Aiden Wilson Tozer shiningchristiansorry Religion has accepted the monstrous heresy that noise, size, activity and bluster make a man dear to God. Aiden Wilson Tozer sizenoisemen We're here to be worshipers first and workers only second. We take a convert and immediately make a worker out of him. God never meant it to be so. God meant that a convert should learn to be a worshiper, and after that he can learn to be a worker...The work done by a worshiper will have eternity in it. Aiden Wilson Tozer doneworshipfirsts To understand a Bible text it takes an act of the Holy Spirit equal to the act that inspired the text in the first place. A revelation of the Holy Spirit in one glorious flash of inward illumination would teach you more of Jesus than five years in a theological seminary. Aiden Wilson Tozer illuminationyearsjesus There is no place to hide but in the blood of the Lamb. Aiden Wilson Tozer lambsblood 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. Aiden Wilson Tozer humilitystruggleletting-go If Bible Christianity is to survive the present world upheaval, we shall need to have a fresh revelation of the greatness and the beauty of Jesus.... He alone can raise our cold hearts to rapture and restore again the art of true worship. Aiden Wilson Tozer prayerartjesus Many Christians are satisfied with their destination but they neglect the journey. Aiden Wilson Tozer neglectjourneychristian The meek man is not a human mouse afflicted with a sense of his own inferiority. He has accepted God's estimate of his own life: In himself, nothing; In God, everything. He knows well that the world will never see him as God sees him and he has stopped caring. Aiden Wilson Tozer caringhumilitymen I think that most Christians would be better pleased if the Lord did not inquire into their personal affairs too closely. They want Him to save them, to keep them happy, and to take them off to heaven at last, but not to be too inquisitive about their conduct or services. Aiden Wilson Tozer christianheaventhinking Jesus calls us to his rest, and meekness is His method. The meek man cares not at all who is greater than he, for he has long ago decided that the esteem of the world is not worth the effort. Aiden Wilson Tozer long-agomenjesus I think a new world will arise out of the religious mists when we approach our Bible with the idea that it is not only a book which was once spoken, but a book which is now speaking. Aiden Wilson Tozer religiousbookthinking Nobody ever got anything from God on the grounds that he deserved it. Haven fallen, man deserves only punishment and death. So if God answers prayer it's because God is good. From His goodness, His lovingkindness, His good-natured benevolence, God does it! That's the source of everything.
