But we try to get along without the Holy Spirit and that is the terrible thing. How different it is today, the contrast. We live by hearsay. A vague sense of reality and wonder is missing. A. W. Tozer

No, when the Holy Spirit comes, He takes the things of God and translates them into language our hearts understand. Even if we do not know the will of God, the Holy Ghost does, and He prays with groanings that cannot be uttered. A. W. Tozer

When a man of God stands to speak, he ought to have the authority of God on him so he makes the people responsible to listen to him. A. W. Tozer

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
