A. W. Tozer on Knowing God, Leadership, and Listening to God

Posted on July 29, 2013 by pastorjeffsneighborhood

Knowing God

“If God is the Supreme good then our highest blessedness on earth must lie in knowing Him as perfectly as possible.”
That Incredible Christian, 65

Leadership
History will show that the church has prospered most when blessed with strong leaders and suffered the greatest decline when her leaders were weak and time serving. The sheep rarely go much farther than the shepherd.
The Warfare of the Spirit, 191-192

Listening to God
“When I am praying the most eloquently, I am getting the least accomplished in my prayer life. But when I stop getting eloquent and give God less theology and shut up and just gaze upward and wait for God to speak to my heart He speaks with such power that I have to grab a pencil and a notebook and take notes on what God is saying to my heart.”
Success and the Christian, 46-47
