You noticed that in the Four Gospels, they were asking questions and in the book of Acts, they were answering questions. That is the difference. That is the difference between a Spirit-filled man and one that is not. A. W. Tozer

The joy of the Holy Ghost is not worked up. The joy of the Holy Ghost is that which comes to the heart. It is a post-resurrection joy. A. W. Tozer

I believe in being other-worldly. That is, I believe that a sense of God and heaven ought to be upon us. We ought to live in that. A. W. Tozer

That is the difference between Christianity and all of the oriental cults and occult religions. The occult religions try to wake up what you already have. Christianity says, what you have isn’t enough; I’m going to send an enduement from above that shall enter you and be to you what you lack. There is the difference. A. W. Tozer

Christianity has levelled down and the high quality is gone. We are as light as butterflies. We flit around in the sunshine, imagining we are eagles flapping our broad wings above the rocks of God. Instead of that, we are butterflies. A. W. Tozer

The truth is, God never thought of His church apart from the Holy Spirit. We were born of the Spirit. We are baptised into the body of Christ by the Spirit. We are anointed with the Spirit. We are led of the Spirit. We are taught of the Spirit, and the Spirit is the medium, the divine solution, in which God holds His church. A. W. Tozer

God’s Word to the church today is the restoration of the Spirit to His rightful place in the Church, and in your life is, by all means, the most important that could possibly take place. A. W. Tozer

Incidentally, that is the reason most people do not want to be filled with the Holy Spirit; they want to live the way they want to live and have the Holy Spirit as a bit of something extra, as you might have a diamond stickpin or something very beautiful on your clothing. They want the Holy Ghost to be something added, but the Holy Spirit will not be an addition. The Holy Spirit must be Lord or He will not come at all. A. W. Tozer

The Holy Spirit never enters a man and then lets him live like the world. You can be sure of that. A. W. Tozer

The difference between matter and spirit is that matter possesses weight, size, colour and extension in space. It can be measured and weighed and has form. But the Holy Spirit is not material, therefore He does not have weight or dimension or shape or extension in space. A. W. Tozer
