The Truth Will Set You Free, Part 9

“And without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is and that He is a rewarder of those who seek Him.” Hebrews 11:6

Tozer underscores the vital necessity of reckoning with the unseen reality of God and His power: “The spiritual is real....We must shift our interest from the seen to the unseen. For the great unseen reality is God. ‘...he that cometh to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of them that diligently seek Him’ (Heb. 11:6, KJV). This is basic in the life of faith. Every man must choose his world....As we begin to focus on God, the things of the Spirit will take shape before our inner eyes. Obedience to Word of Christ will bring an inward revelation of the Godhead (John 14:21-23). A new God-consciousness will seize upon us, and we shall begin to taste and hear and inwardly feel the God Who is our life and our all. More and more, as our faculties grow sharper and more sure, God will become to us the great All and His Presence the glory and wonder of our lives.”

Tozer concludes with this prayer: “Open my eyes that I may see; give me acute spiritual perception; enable me to taste Thee and know that Thou art good. Make heaven more real to me than any earthly thing has ever been. Amen.”

“The grass withers, the flower fades, but the word of our God stands forever.” Isaiah 40:8
