Haggai 1:5
King James Version (KJV)
5 Now therefore thus saith the Lord of hosts; Consider your ways.
Aiden Wilson Tozer was born April 21, 1897, on a small farm among the spiny ridges of Western Pennsylvania. Within a few short years, Tozer, as he preferred to be called, would earn the reputation and title of a "20th-century prophet."
Able to express his thoughts in a simple but forceful manner, Tozer combined the power of God and the power of words to nourish hungry souls, pierce human hearts, and draw earthbound minds toward God.
When he was 15 years old, Tozer's family moved to Akron, Ohio. One afternoon as he walked home from his job at Goodyear, he overheard a street preacher say, "If you don't know how to be saved . . . just call on God." When he got home, he climbed the narrow stairs to the attic where, heeding the preacher's advice, Tozer was launched into a lifelong pursuit of God.
In 1919, without formal education, Tozer was called to pastor a small storefront church in Nutter Fort, West Virginia. That humble beginning thrust him and his new wife Ada Cecelia Pfautz, into a 44-year ministry with The Christian and Missionary Alliance.
Thirty-one of those years were spent at Chicago's Southside Alliance Church. The congregation, captivated by Tozer's preaching, grew from 80 to 800.
In 1950 Tozer was elected editor of the Alliance Weekly now called Alliance Life. The circulation doubled almost immediately. In the first editorial dated June 3, 1950, he set the tone: "It will cost something to walk slow in the parade of the ages while excited men of time rush about confusing motion with progress. But it will pay in the long run and the true Christian is not much interested in anything short of that."
Tozer's forte was his prayer life which often found him walking the aisles of a sanctuary or lying face down on the floor. He noted, "As a man prays, so is he." To him the worship of God was paramount in his life and ministry. "His preaching as well as his writings were but extensions of his prayer life," comments Tozer biographer James L. Snyder. An earlier biographer noted, "He spent more time on his knees than at his desk."
Tozer's love for words also pervaded his family life. He quizzed his children on what they read and made up bedtime stories for them. "The thing I remember most about my father," reflects his daughter Rebecca, "was those marvelous stories he would tell."
Son Wendell, one of six boys born before the arrival of Rebecca, remembers that, "We all would rather be treated to the lilac switch by our mother than to have a talking-to by our dad."
Tozer's final years of ministry were spent at Avenue Road Church in Toronto, Canada. On May 12, 1963, his earthly pursuit of God ended when he died of a heart attack at age 66. In a small cemetery in Akron, Ohio, his tombstone bears this simple epitaph: "A Man of God."
Some wonder why Tozer's writings are as fresh today as when he was alive. It is because, as one friend commented, "He left the superficial, the obvious and the trivial for others to toss around. . . . [His] books reach deep into the heart."
His humor, written and spoken, has been compared to that of Will Rogers--honest and homespun. Congregations could one moment be swept by gales of laughter and the next sit in a holy hush.
For almost 50 years, Tozer walked with God. Even though he is gone, he continues to speak, ministering to those who are eager to experience God. As someone put it, "This man makes you want to know and feel God."

my Spirit just loves this preaching, He quenches his thirst, and feed his humger when the Truth is preached, thank God for brother tozer, and for these brothers who are reproducing his sermons.
Haggai 1:5 Now therefore thus saith the Lord of hosts; Consider your ways.
When I listen to the preaching of brothers like A.W.Tozer, Leonard Ravenhill and David Wilkerson, I am stirred by their fear of God, their love for God, their love for their brethren, their hatred of sin, their refusal to compromise the gospel, their humility. Among current preachers I'd also add Zac Poonen and David Ravenhill, Leonard's son. Tim Conway and Paul Washer also come to mind. The Holy Spirit stirs me, convicts me, teaches me through these men. Bless God for those who've already gone to be with the Lord and may those who are still with us fight the good fight, finish the race and keep the faith!! By the grace of God they cut through the clatter, noise and pretense of false gospels as only our Heavenly Father's lights in the world can.
My brother check out Charles Lawson on the Zion TH-cam channel. Nother great one.
I love listening to preacher Tozer
@@crownholdercasanova7720 Love brother Charles Lawson...
Thank you for these powerful, contemplative, and convicting messages from AW Tozer.
Awesome Word that has the anointing of the Holy Spirit.❤
To live a holy and a pure life is a choice.
This is one, if not, my favorite sermons uploaded to TH-cam.
The HOLYSPIRIT says, 'consider your ways'. Amen in The Precious Name of JESUS!
Amen.
our own / my own ways .. confession and repentance , asking for mercy and grace strength to hear and obey , some serious preaching ,
Praise God! for His truth will be known by His true preachers.
Great message, thank you dear Brother, may the Lord bless you and continue to send His blessings through you for those that are hungry for His word.
Another excellent, compelling and powerful sermon. If Tozer were to visit Toronto today, he would not likely be surprised to find it strikingly similar to Sodom and Gomorrah.
Shared on FB. Tozer, another servant of the Living God and preaching Truth!
Proverbs 4:26, "Ponder the path of thy feet, and let all thy ways be established." Let's all choose to find more time for introspection, and through it become more pleasing to God.
This is such a compelling and sobering message, a great Evangelist of his time, this kind of preaching/teaching is what we need in this new era
This is a vital message, the whole church of God needs to hear this
Thank you for uploading this wonderful sermon!
I love this man's preaching. Reminds me of John Macarthur. God bless men who are anointed of God.
If I consider my ways I will fulfil my calling as a child of God.
the words of God substained me... my faith, thank you LORD!
ohh LORD Jesus!!!!! Great is thy faithfulness!!! Unto thee do I lift up my soul!!!! All my desire is before thee!!!!! My soul followeth hard after thee!!!!! Say unto my soul, "I am thy salvation"!!!!
LET THE FEAR OF GOD RETURN TO THE CHURCH as we CONSIDER /......
Inspiring message.
Wonderful!! Listening July 2019
Did you know the new testament provides us with all sorts of methods to keeping oneself pure, and it's the Only way through Jesus we will see the kingdom of God?

What happens if a person Commit a sin after they are saved ? Does that person lose their salvation ?
No. The saved cannot lose their salvation.
sin is what sends people to hell . repent his blood has power over the power of sin
Susan Muncan 1 John 1:9 if we confess our sin He is just and faithful to cleanse us from our sin and all unrighteousness
Please read Romans chapter 8 to be reassured that once a person repents and believes in Christ alone for salvation, you cannot lose it! The Holy Spirit is born in your heart to fill you with God's strength to continue to fight sin, and to give you God's strength to repent daily and to seek forgiveness and cleansing when you do sin! 1 John 1:9 says "If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness." As you read the Bible
Holy Spirit will teach you how to understand it and your faith will grow strong! A. W. Tozer is a great preacher, full of good teaching for you
Focus on Jesus who has redeemed us from the curse of sin and death.
And women also
