It is doubtful whether God can bless a man greatly until He has hurt him deeply.

God never hurries. There are no deadlines against which he must work. Only to know this is to quiet our spirits and relax our nerves.

AW Tozer on Misunderstanding Revival
There seems to be a notion abroad that if we talk enough and pray enough, revival will set in like a stock market boom or a winning streak on a baseball club. We appear to be waiting for some sweet chariot to swing low and carry us into the Big Rock Candy Mountain of religious experience … a kind of benign miracle, a feverish renaissance of religious activity that will come upon us, leaving us morally as we are now, except that we will be a lot happier and there will be a great many more of us …

The Old Cross vs. The New Cross – AW Tozer
The old cross slew men; the new cross entertains them. The old cross condemned; the new cross amuses. The old cross destroyed confidence in the flesh; the new cross encourages it.

I Want the Presence of God Himself – AW Tozer

The Cross of Christ – AW Tozer
Though the cross of Christ has been beautified by the poet and the artist, the avid seeker after God is likely to find it the same savage implement of destruction it was in the days of old. The way of the cross is still the pain-wracked path to spiritual power and fruitfulness. So do not seek to hide from it. Do not accept an easy way. Do not allow yourself to be patted to sleep in a comfortable church, void of power and barren of fruit. Do not paint the cross nor deck it with flowers. Take it for what it is, as it is, and you will find it the rugged way to death and life. Let it slay you utterly.

Being in One Accord – AW Tozer
The Holy Spirit did not come to make them of one accord, He came because they were of one accord. … It is not the music that tunes your piano, it’s the tuned piano that makes your music.
