The God You Have Never Actually Met | A.W. Tozer

You could talk about God for twenty minutes right now without notes. You know He is holy, sovereign, loving, everywhere at once — and every word of it is true. Now answer a different question, and answer it honestly. Have you ever met Him? Not read about Him. Not agreed about Him. Met Him. In this message we explore the teachings of A.W. Tozer on the difference between the God in your head and the God who actually is. Most of us have spent our entire Christian lives accumulating accurate information about Someone we have never encountered — and the reason your faith feels thin is not that your theology is wrong. It is that you have been having a relationship with a description. God said it to His own worshipping people, whose attendance was flawless and whose sacrifices never stopped: "Thou thoughtest that I was altogether such an one as thyself." They had not rejected Him. They had quietly remade Him in their own image, and never noticed the substitution, because the name never changed. And notice what He says He did about it: I kept silence. A man can live for years in that condition with nothing whatsoever to signal it. ⚔️ THE MAP BACK INTO THE ROOM. Let us be clear: nothing replaces the Word of God. Your Bible is the foundation and the final authority, always, and there is no knowing God apart from it. But you were taught what to believe, and taught well — nobody ever taught you how to seek. So we drew a map. 👉 Get The War Room Manual right here: https://bit.ly/ChristianThinkers (Thirty days that take you into the room and tell you what to do inside it — what to read and how slowly, what to pray when your own words run out, and why nothing happening is not failure.) "What comes into our minds when we think about God is the most important thing about us." — A.W. Tozer 📖 Base texts: Psalm 50:21 — "These things hast thou done, and I kept silence; thou thoughtest that I was altogether such an one as thyself." Exodus 20:21 — "And the people stood afar off, and Moses drew near unto the thick darkness where God was." 📖 Covered in this message: Aaron made a calf and called it a feast to the LORD — how the substitution actually happens Why the most religiously educated man in Israel had to ask God who He was The people stood afar off; Moses drew near to the darkness — same day, same mountain Isaiah, Job, Daniel, John — what happens to a man who actually meets Him The curated God: how this generation assembles a portrait out of only the agreeable parts Exactly how to begin, and how to find out who you have really been worshipping 🔍 Strategic keywords: A.W.
