      Same here and it illuminated so much for me! I know what he means by a time of anxiety and darkness, I've been in it for a while and wondering why. Interestingly Ive also been wanting to be filled with the spirit, never thought to connect the two.

    This is the season you put on one A. W. Tozer video after another and let the GOSPEL go into you like the waters entering the crevace of the rocks. HALLELUJAH JESUS!!! This is needed!!!

      It is not natural to give away control of our lives. But we have to willingly do it.

    this is so awesome...who ever listens to him needs to be ready for meat and not still wanting milk. where are the teachers like this the pastor's not worried about numbers but souls.....Lord...I love the truth and freedom.

    • @brianschmidt704
      @brianschmidt704 7 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Pastor's share milk or deception to pump up the numbers. Because they are afraid at the numbers decline then their church will close.

    Encouraging to learn that a period of anxiety & emptiness precedes filling of the Spirit. I am in despair of myself. Pure gold!!

    Man, this guy has such a gentle voice but he shakes you down to your core.

  • @rumenigpires
    @rumenigpires 8 ปีที่แล้ว +115

    Good advice from Tozer: nobody in the Bible or history are filled with the Spirit without a disturbance and an anxiety. Everybody want to be happy nowadays. We need to be broken by the Spirit and die for ourselves (very hard to do).

    • @alexanderbhartley5549
      @alexanderbhartley5549 7 ปีที่แล้ว +15

      My happiness, my filling, my success.... What will God do to and for me, for me(not for Himself) Folks, including me, tend to forget that it's not all about us. We were created for His pleasure, not for Him to pleasure us. Do we have "I" trouble? take care.

    After years of searching and reading across numerous authors and preachers, Tozer answered my question with such ease and directness. So very thankful for him and this message, I can rest now.

    Where we are in the coming of the LORD the Holy Ghost should be in high demand because Jesus foreknew that His true believers would be in need of a helper,teacher and comforter. Thank you for sharing this nugget of gold!!

    I heard a preacher Len Ravenhill say that this man sat up on his death bed while breathing his last and say something like, 'oh Lord is this what ive been waiting for? Is this it?' with a smile on his face. What will we see as we step from time into eternity?

    “ THERE ARE THINGS WE WANT MORE SO WE EITHER GET THEM OR TRY TO GET THEM BUT WE DONT GET GOD “ HILARIOUSLY TRUE !!!.
    I LOVE THIS MAN OF GOD !.

  • @rumenigpires
    @rumenigpires 8 ปีที่แล้ว +61

    "We're as full of God as we want to be", that's so true! We need to obey the Spirit in order to do not quench it. Our lack of will to obey is the reason of our coldness! The cost to obey God in our society is enormous today. Then, we do not obey, which results in our coldness. Then we ask why our lives are so without the presence of God! Thanks for sharing this sermon! God bless you!

    "NO man can fill me & NO man can fill YOU, we can PRAY for each other, but I CANNOT fill you, and you CANNOT fill me!!!" PREEEACH A.W!!!Absolute Awesome Truths HERE!!! I AM obviously near the Kingdom!👏🙌

  • @rumenigpires
    @rumenigpires 8 ปีที่แล้ว +50

    We need to get to a place of despair and inner lolliness to be in a state where we are satisfied only with God. In this state we'll get close to God and be filled with him. But to get there, we have to go through a dark night of the soul. We need to pass through his to get the free gift of the bliss of the Spirit.

    Salvation is free through Jesus Christ, yet to truly live for Christ will cost everything, but to gain everlasting life with Him is priceless.
    He is worthy of my all regardless of what He asks of me.

    I was thinking today how Christians go on and on about having sound doctrine. But what God calls us to is obedience.
    Sound doctrine without a godly lifestyle , is like having a fancy car but filling the tank with water.
    May I turn from any worldly ways still in me 😥

    Tozer takes Christians to a much deeper level...a life filled with the Holy Spirit ...as he says better to go to far,or deep than not far or deep enough...Every pastor or preacher that touches my heart... speaking to my soul..will all agree.Tozer.filled with the Holy spirit.. speaking right to our soul

    I just found out today that I'm working with his grandson and he's grandpa age himself. I'm glad I decided to look into his preaching. I've had the Holy Ghost for 30 years and those who hunger and thirst after righteousness shall be filled. I don't think you'll find this in the modern churches, look for a church that preaches against sin (they all say they do) but one more on the old-fashioned side, one where they speak of God's direction and miracles!

    Tozer's teaching in this sermon reminds me very much of the sort of teaching in Miles J. Stanford's book "The Green Letters." Very little taught these days on deeper spiritual living. Good stuff!

  • @rumenigpires
    @rumenigpires 8 ปีที่แล้ว +29

    The Spirit never gets gradually on someone. The Spirit falls in an act! The false preachers tells us that the filling come little by little. That's a way to justify the lack of filling in their congregations. The oil in poured out at once! Didn't happen gradually. It happens instantaneouslly. We don't get this blessing because we do not want pay the cost. I agree with Tozer.

    This is as good a message as I have ever heard. I wish all Christians could hear this. People aren't filled because they can't put self and worldly items down long enough for God to fill them.
    Thank God for preachers like A W Tozier. Him and Vance Havner were cut from the same stone.

    1) Present your bodies as living sacrifices (vessels)
    2) ask the Lord to fill you (from a pure heart, good conscience and sincere faith)
    3) be obedient to Jesus commands. ( To believe and to love one another). ( To forgive others and walk in purity)
    4) filling comes through hearing the words. (Could be through preaching, a recording online, a conversation with a friend, ect. But it comes through hearing the words)

    Theres a stripping away isnt there brother..before the filling up. Smiles
    Our God is a jealous God jealous for the life He has put in us and will not tolerate anything being more important than Him..thats the surity n safety of His preemminence. There is nothing we can do apart from Him..nothing!
