A.W. Tozer sermon playlist: • A. W. Tozer Sermons
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."

Ou Lord God Almighty how wonderful is Your Holy Spirit 🙌
Who can even dislike this? I wish there were more oldschool preachers like Mr Tozer ...
Amen, satan’s children only
Ive heard this sermons many times during my life. It makes me focused to christ. This sermon has really helped me to see the sin in my life and my need for christ. Thank god for this man and what you did through him Jesus.
Old time hell and brimstone preacher. Completely relative to this specific generation. Listen young people. This is the way the Word is suppose to be delivered.
I guess the Holy Spirit loves me because all I care about is God. To bad this journey is very lonely. Saints only want to talk about God on Sunday
I believe Tozer was a prophet of his time. He’s not a he’ll fire and brimstone preacher, he’s a full counsel of God preacher. Thankful for his ministry but more thankful for the God of Tozer.
Thank you for this,I have read many of this brother IN Christ’s books
Hearing him preach the Word is much needed in this day of itching ear,life coaching pep talk, sprinkling of scripture preaching !!!!
The Word is sharper than ANY two edged sword!!!!!also if anyone is interested there is a great documentary called”is Genesis History?”,it is very eye opening to say the least as it emphasizes the great flood!!!!
Praise God!!!,praise Him!!!!!
Holiness.................I have looked and found it not in our midst, LORD have mercy upon me for "Woe is me! for I am undone; because I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips:"
I have been looking for this sermon. I heard it couple a years ago, it meant much to me. It actually helped to change my life, and kept me close to Jesus. Now i have seen many of friends beeing saved. Thank You For Upload. Blood of Jesus will save those who believe in him.
He nailed it. As up-to-date as if it'd been preached today.
Come Lord Jesus. AMEN
Thank you for sharing. :)
"Come Lord Jesus."

Thank you for sharing.

I believe I understand what you are trying to say, but I don't think I would label Tozer as an "Old time hell and brimstone preacher." He was not, however, afraid to preach the truth of the reality of hell, unlike so many "preachers" today.
Yes, A.W. Tozer was certainly a man blessed of God. I hope you were blessed in the hearing of this sermon.
Very relevant for today, right now!
WOW 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Timeless!
We need to hear this sermon..people seems to forget where we came from and how bless we are.
This is ahead of its time.
This sermon was a blessing. Thank you.
What an eye opener in the Genesis message about the raven and the dove. I have eyes but did not see! We usually picture a Sunday School pix of the Arc floating in a sea of water. Never gave a thought to the graphic image A.J. Tozer describes.
I want to hear this so much ...I hope it will play !
Amen...praise God...and you are most welcome.
You are most welcome, Angel Elsa. So glad to know you were blessed :-)
A sign indeed...
Who doesn't like Tozer is not right spiritually.
This is great
You are quite welcome. I hope you find it to be a great blessing to your soul.
