Who is the Holy Spirit? How can we Know Him? - A. W. Tozer Sermon
John 14:16 And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever; 17 Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.

A.W. Tozer - Who is the Holy Spirit? How can we Know Him?
If you have read or heard classic "deeper life" Christian authors and/or preachers, i.e. Watchman Nee, Andrew Murray, A.B. Simpson, Leonard Ravenhill, then you will quite likely find this sermon by A.W. Tozer very edifying. May you be blessed.
Hailing from a tiny farming community in western Pennsylvania, his conversion was as a teenager in Akron, Ohio. While on his way home from work at a tire company, he overheard a street preacher say: "If you don't know how to be saved... just call on God." Upon returning home, he climbed into the attic and heeded the preachers advice.
In 1919, five years after his conversion, and without formal theological training, Tozer accepted an offer to pastor his first church. This began 44 years of ministry, associated with the Christian and Missionary Alliance (C&MA), a Protestant evangelical denomination; 33 of those years were served as a pastor in a number of churches. His first pastorate was in a small storefront church in Nutter Fort, West Virginia. Tozer also served as pastor for 30 years at Southside Alliance Church, in Chicago (1928 to 1959), and the final years of his life were spent as pastor of Avenue Road Church, in Toronto, Canada. In observing contemporary Christian living, he felt that the church was on a dangerous course toward compromising with "worldly" concerns.
In 1950, Tozer received an honorary Doctor of Letters degree from Wheaton College. It was May 1950, when Tozer was elected editor of the Alliance Weekly magazine, now called, Alliance Life, the official publication of the C&MA. From his first editorial, dated June 3, 1950, he wrote, "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." In 1952, he received an LL.D. degree from Houghton College.
Among the more than 40 books that he authored, at least two are regarded as Christian classics: The Pursuit of God and The Knowledge of the Holy. His books impress on the reader the possibility and necessity for a deeper relationship with God.
Living a simple and non-materialistic lifestyle, he and his wife, Ada Cecelia Pfautz, never owned a car, preferring bus and train travel. Even after becoming a well-known Christian author, Tozer signed away much of his royalties to those who were in need.
Tozer had seven children, six boys and one girl. He was buried in Ellet Cemetery, Akron, Ohio, with a simple epitaph marking his grave: "A. W. Tozer - A Man of God."
Prayer was of vital personal importance for Tozer. "His preaching as well as his writings were but extensions of his prayer life," comments his biographer, James L. Snyder, in the book, In Pursuit of God: The Life Of A.W. Tozer. "He had the ability to make his listeners face themselves in the light of what God was saying to them," writes Snyder

Tonight, as I read "Crazy Love" by Francis Chan, there was a quote from Tozer at the start of chapter 6. The quote resonated with me so deeply, that I read it four times over. I The felt guided by the spirit to stop reading and research Tozer online, only to stumble across this message. After a few minutes I was dissolved into the sermon and felt the Holy Spirits warmth and love wrapping around my soul. The relevance of Dr. Tozers sermon in today's world is astounding! How troubling to think how modern churches have neglected these forms of teachings. I now have a playlist of sermons to listen to and am confident they will continue to strengthen my walk with Christ. Thank you dearly for posting, you are truely doing the Lord's work in reaching others for Christ!
The Lord is the same yesterday tomorrow and forever. God Bless you and your family. I love my Lord JESUS CHRIST and his inexpressible gift of the Holy Spirit and reconciliation with GOD THE FATHER. AMEN
GLORY TO GOD!
AMEN!
“There must be love there before there can be grief.” HELP ME LORD JESUS!
Jesus prayed for us to be ONE as he is one..all my brothers and sister watching this video thirsty I thank God through Christ that Im called you brother..Thank you for the post
I love the Holy Ghost He is the best friend I have..........to those who don't believe He is a person haven't read the word of God. Jesus said He will be in you....He will lead you into all truth....sound's like a person to me.....right?......I totally love Him and for who HE is and all He has done for me....Praise God for brother Tozer
AMEN
The one true living God.!
Thank you for sharing this!
May GOD Bless you for it!
GLORY TO GOD!
Thank you so much for uploading this. I'm a college student studying Fine Arts, and there's nothing more refreshing than listening to something that glorifies God, (Tozer's one of my favorites) while doing late night plates :) My ultimate favorite of Tozer's is his writings on God's attributes. Knowing more about the Creator and Savior is truly a heavenly experience.
This is the day the Lord has made;
We will rejoice and be glad in it. Psalm 118 : 24
I once was shut down in front of an entire congregation as a special guest speaker was speaking about Muslims having dreams and Jesus Christ appearing to them in their dreams showing them who God really is in Him. I asked this speaker if the Father, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit were all ONE? This speaker got angry with me and said: "The Holy Spirit and Jesus Christ are not one and the same!" I was so humiliated by this and now I am hearing A.W Tozer here saying the three are ONE! I believe A.W Tozer! :) Much Love In Christ, Alan Sweet
Believe Tozer as he is correct! 2 Corinthians 13:14 (KJV) The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Ghost, be with you all. Amen.
and Ephesians 4:4-6 (KJV) There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling;
One Lord, one faith, one baptism, One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.
Amen!
What an absolute blessing this is. I wish there were some modern day Tozers. Thank you for uploading.
it is finally so right to hear from teachers such as Tower, Spurgeon, Murray, Torrey, Watchman Nee, Wilkerson and such. True teachers of the Living Word of the True Living God of our Holy Bible. Beautiful!
Tozer
Wow… If you don’t love, you can’t grieve… Such an eye-opening sermon about the Holy Spirit! I’ve spent most of my life among people who undermine the power and the character of the Holy Spirit, this has been such a blessing to me! I am now turning to find more about who God is through the persons of the Trinity. 💜
AMEN
GLORY GLORY HALLELUJAH
.........
HIS TRUTH IS MARCHING ON AND ON AND ON ...
Ahhh real spiritual food for a starving soul. Nothing is sadder than to attend your local church and come out starving for truth , and to not be fed the truth because they are tickling the ears of the masses just to appease. So wonderfully glad that God led me to this , I so needed to hear what I've been thinking to myself. Bless you all that are real bible believers and love our true God, Jesus, and the holy spirit.
I could listen to this all day.
i just love this spiritual old biblical teachings, so filled with truth and spirit, thank God these true men of God existed.and left copies of their sermons so we can receive the Word the way it was supposed to be preached.
At 19 I was baptised in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Ghost. Now 55 years later I wish I have heard such a clear description of the Holy Spirit earlier. And with such humour, as you can ignore Him and He will sleep quietly behind the boat. And with such clarity as the mother will grieve because she loves her son and can only feel sympathy for the boy she does not know. This sermon was preached at Avenue Road Church in Toronto and it grieves me and more so the Holy Spirit to find out that the church building has now become a Hare Krishna Temple. Nevertheless, may the Holy Spirit encourage the hearts of all who hear this sermon. AMEN
Praise the Lord for such teachings.
I'd swap twenty of the ignorant feather merchants on TBN for ''ONE'' A.W. TOZER.....This mans spirit enabled ministry has continued on way past his death. I have gained much from TOZER's writings throughout the years...What a breath of fresh air, devoid of the sensationalism and tripe that disguises itself as Christian doctrine...Can't wait to meet this guy in heaven........
I have been born again. I will never forget it. I was brand-new. Like the hole world was lifted off me. But I must have never been filled with holy spirit. Or I grieved him. Well I want him to please forgive me. Or please forgive me. I am miserable.
Yes when we asked the Holy Spirits to indwell in us everyday his fruits produce in us and Yes you will live such an amazing lives . Yes Godly lives
amen the holy spirit wraps you in comfort and love gives revelation guides leads and directs us in god's way thanks
We are in desperate need of more teaching like this in 2016!
I most certainly agree with you, Terrence.
I agree.
Wow!!! What a blessing this message!! Thank you for posting. My first time hearing anything of Bro. Tozer aside from quotes here and there. What a blessing!! Praise the LORD!! ❤️
0:41, Tozer's explanation of the term "Holy Ghost" is instructive.
The Church today needs men like this!!!
Yes he was a real Man of God.
This makes the author come alive to me. Am reading The Pursuit of God. Now I know what others say about him is true. A man who pursued God with his whole heart.
excuse my picture. Don't miss The Divine Conquest or under a new title, The Pursuit of Man. I believe it is his best book.
God bless you for posting this. :)It has blessed me
That's wonderful to hear...praise God...and may He bless you as well.
Deep cries out to deep...Praise YHWH.
This is my first time listening to brother Tozer’s teaching... I am grateful this video came through my feed.
aw tozer is Gods sent
16 Feb. 2020. Thank you for this wonderful preaching. I am glad to have found your channel.
Hallelujah! We need more of this teaching. Help us Lord😢😢
This is the Path, Immanuel, God with us, gave us to be born again of the Spirit of God. Mankind is not to be the Teacher of Men, the Words of God, the Words of His Son, and the Spirit of God are to be our Teachers. Call no man Teacher, We have only one Teacher, the Spirit of The Father.......
That old simple biblical, prayerful, sacrificial, serving Christianity. Give me that.
Powerful preaching.
One person of The Father, One person of The Son and One of The Holy Ghost.
All 3 are but One.
All 3 are Infinite
All 3 un-created
All 3 are eternal
All 3 are almighty
Thanking God for Jesus
Wow just found this guy he is awesome.
fantastic video. He is certainly Awesome, Say Amen if you agree?
Grieving occurs when one loves, awsome truth
AMEN! Praise God for men like Tozer:)
AMEN and AMEN .....The God still speaks to the world - church through holy spirit.
Amen.
Thank you for posting this
Some of the best teaching I have ever had. Thanks RUclips
Loved listening to this. Amen
Jesus Christ is coming soon!
Amen 🙏 Guide me lord God I love you Holy Spirit.
This is the greatest explanation of who the Holy Spirit is...
I love it he is a great man of God.
i am blessed by this sermon
I would like to know why true men of God, true ministers, can't be on the TV. Religious channels all over the place, they seem to be sincere but they do not show the wisdom of Gods Holy Spirit. I hope men like W A Tozer is always available.
Robert Lading
It is the last times b4 Jesus returns and it was foretold that a time would come where men will no longer endure sound doctrine but raise up teachers to tell themselves what they want to hear.
OUTSTANDING!!!!!!!!!!!!Thx for loading this teacher
You're most welcome, Lyn.
19/10/2021 - Incredible teaching. It si so true, and so sad. 😢 I have been to four churches in my City, and I feel None have the presence of the HOLY SPITIT in them. They read a passage out of the Bible, and then chat about something so trivial, it has nothing to do with JESUS or the Word they just read. It's always about other people and their experiences. Very sad. I listen to RUclips Sermons and teachings by Pastors that have a Passion, Love, Respect and Fear for our LORD JESUS CHRIST and the WORD of GOD, and know the Urgency of having to warn us of what awaits us if we fail to have GOD as our EVERYTHING in life. Thank you to all those awesome Men of GOD. XX
Tozer, A man of God!
Love Tozer🔥🔥🔥
Amen this is. one of the bestest sermons
Love this Video, going to watch it again with myWife in the morning, just know she is going to love it as well.Thanks for keeping Videos like this available.
Amen powerful; yes so true, now is all social gatherings in most church services, with sophisticated instruments to replace the Holy Spirit, not filled with the Holy Spirit but feel good May the Spirit of GOD be reveal in our churches. Amen Thanks Bro Tozer
Thank you for posting these. I've always wondered how he sounded like. It's amazing to know how he's the same in the books and in the audios, you can really see the consistency in his faith and convictions. Praying for all Christians to be as deep as he and the other Bible-soaked preachers were. 🙏🙌💕
Thank you for sharing.
I was looking for something complementary to my situation and i listened to this and my heart was taken and my character
calmed listening and seeing this is the day that the lord has made and i will rejoice and be glad in it.
Man Tozer was anointed man of God. Very blessed i cant stop watching vid went out bought several books Tozer Speaks, the holiness of God, etc awesome. God bless
I found this in june 2018 ...such a blessing
So powerful.
At our baptism, an elder acknowledged AW Tozer discipling me through media like this. Bless your work!
I've always loved the acumen of his gutteral preaching!
Real people listen real words that only the Spirit of God would listen through our hears
Thank you very much for this. I didn't know these recordings existed.
You are most welcome, Ernie.
He has shown me the Holy Spirit and He has put His seal upon me. I am still that fallen "me" because of the fallen nature of man but I am a new man in Christ. The "old" man is gone. I look to Christ. Your brother in Christ Jesus, Bruce F. Hedge
I dnt know you people but its nice of you to post worthwhile gospel .I as many others are in need of actual Christian postings .this meets that mark , and I use it for the purpose of being inspired . i guess I mean thanx !
Leanord Ravenhill mentioned him a lot so that's why I'm interested in his preaching. As Ravenhill said he was as emotional as a tooth pick, however in spite of that I find him to be a powerful and convicting preacher.
Brad Crampton Either way.
william harvey 😊😊😊👍👍
I love this information .. makes good sense to me :) thank you very much
Absolutely true the church started with the Holy Spirit before the Bible and the Hymnal. Hallelujah!!!!!!
i want to appreciate u r work and let u know tht i have and continue to be blessed by these sermons
Praise God, Mhilu. Thank you for your encouraging words. Sorry for the delay in replying.
What a great privilege it was to hear this Sermon, very encouraged listening whilst working the night shift Hallelujah.
The Holy Spirit of God is extremely real, if you are not led by Him then you are led by your flesh. And when you are led by your own flesh Jesus will not know you.
Matthew 7:21-23 English Standard Version (ESV)
I Never Knew You
21 “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. 22 On that day many will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?’ 23 And then will I declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness.’
Thank you for sharing and May God Bless you forever.
Amen.
Thanks a Lot
WOW Amen
This man I believe
, helps simply and powerfully define the attributes the the Holy Spirit as I know him to be the Spirit of God and Christ; The unnecessary focus on whether he is a person or not I do not understand. The definitions I find of a person generally require humanity, matter, and a body . That being said this man, I believe speaks and edifies by the Holy Spirit of God.
he has written some great books and gets down to it
By the responses shown people are hungry for the true Word, regardless what many say.
AMEN AND AMEN 🙌
Great stuff...thanks for the upload
The Holy Spirit is in all of us at birth when God breathed in us he gave us his Holy Spirit amen and hallelujah thank you Lord
A W TOZER...
" A MEN OF GOD"
You are most welcome...a joy for me to share with you.
INCREDIBLE!!!
JESUS MY SAVIOUR IS THE ALMIGHTY GOD ,AND I WILL DIE FOR MY FAITH IN JESUS , NO SWEAT.
”The Lord is soon to come. We want that complete and perfect understanding which the Lord alone can give. It is not safe to catch the spirit from another. We want the Holy Spirit, which is Jesus Christ. If we commune with God, we shall have strength and grace and efficiency.” Lt 66-1894.18
get his book The Mystery of the Holy Spirit, highly recommend. Any of his sermons and books are great and most importantly Biblical
Amen
Amen Amen
...and may God bless you as well :-)
I wish Tozer was still alive but Christ message via AW Tozer still ignites the presence of the HOLY SPIRIT. So bless
God is a Spirit! A Holy Spirit
yes the Holy Spirit is God. and he lives in me. wow! am i blessed.
the true word of GOD, is preached only by these men, its a shame to hear what these pastors of the new age are preaching , no love for the word and for GOD , just taking out of scripture and putting in scripture that they write, may GOD have mercy on these new age preachers.
💯
