The Pursuit Of God – AW Tozer – Chapter 6 – The Speaking Voice
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. John 1:1
An intelligent plain man, untaught in the truths of Christianity, coming upon this text, would likely conclude that John meant to teach that it is the nature of God to speak, to communicate His thoughts to others. And he would be right.
A word is a medium by which thoughts are expressed, and the application of term to the Eternal …

The Pursuit of God – AW Tozer – Chapter 5  – The Universal Presence
Where shall I go from thy spirit? or where shall I flee from thy presence? Psalm 139:7
In all Christian teaching certain basic truths are found, hidden at times, and rather assumed than asserted, but necessary to all truth as the primary colors are found in and necessary to the finished painting. Such a truth is the divine immanence.
God dwells in His creation and is everywhere indivisibly present in all His works. This is boldly taught by prophet …

The Pursuit Of God – AW Tozer – Chapter 4 – Apprehending God
O taste and see. Psa. 34:8
It was Canon Holmes, of India, who more than twenty-five years ago called attention to the inferential character of the average man’s faith in God. To most people God is an inference, not a reality. He is a deduction from evidence which they consider adequate; but He remains personally unknown to the individual. “He must be,” they say, “therefore we believe He is.”
Others do not go even so far as this; they know …

The Pursuit Of God – AW Tozer – Chapter 3 – Removing the Veil
Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus.–Heb. 10:19
Among the famous sayings of the Church fathers none is better known than Augustine’s,
“Thou hast formed us for Thyself, and our hearts are restless till they find rest in Thee.”
The great saint states here in few words the origin and interior history of the human race. God made us for Himself: that is the only explanation that satisfies the heart of a thinking …

The Pursuit Of God – AW Tozer -  Chapter 2 – The Blessedness of Possessing Nothing
Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Matt. 5:3
Before the Lord God made man upon the earth He first prepared for him by creating a world of useful and pleasant things for his sustenance and delight. In the Genesis account of the creation these are called simply “things.” They were made for man’s uses, but they were meant always to be external to the man and subservient to him. …

The Pursuit Of God – AW Tozer – Chapter 1 – Following Hard After God
My soul follows hard after you: your right hand upholds me.Psalm 63:8
Christian theology teaches the doctrine of prevenient grace, which briefly stated means this, that before a man can seek God, God must first have sought the man.
Before a sinful man can think a right thought of God, there must have been a work of enlightenment done within him; imperfect it may be, but a true work nonetheless, and the secret cause of all desiring …

The Lord longs to give you new perspective, He wants to take you into new atmospheres.  He’s given you wings, are you ready to fly?

As I was reading MOVE WITH ME AS MY GLORY CLOUD MOVES! by Nancy Slocum of God’s Whispers, I was reminded of our need to keep our eyes on Jesus and hold on lightly to the things off this world if we don’t want to keep on circling the same ground.
This is what Nancy wrote
The Lord said in the very timely word from Bertha Hinson, WFJ: The Cloud Is Moving… Just as I led Moses and My people by My cloud, I am moving My people today! You must be …

Life continues to be challenging and the Lord continues to speak to me through events, His word, my thoughts and other people.
I am humbled by the love and support that has been evident in

people turning up with freshly cooked meals
friends popping in at lunch time to make sure I get a hot drink and have lunch
lifts for my children
lifts to hospital
freshly baked cakes
friends calling in to iron and clean

The list could go on and on.
I am also challenged about how I live my life and what I put on my …
