Not a Thinking Man's Game
Some excerpts from a Tozer sermon I read today. They're good enough on their own...
"The realm of the Spirit is closed to the intellect."
"Look at this passage. 'For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the Lord, for as the heavens are higher than the earth so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.' (Isaiah 55:8)".
"Now that is the problem with the church in our day. We forget that there is something you cannot get a hold of with your head. We run around with our heads always trying to lay hold of things with our minds. Now the mind is good. God put it there. He gave you a head and He did not give it to you so your glasses could be on it, or your hat. He gave it to you and He put brains in your head; and the organ we call the intellect has a work to do, but that work is not comprehending divine things. That is of the Holy Spirit."
''But we imagine we can handle it by the flesh and so we try to handle it by the flesh, and the Lord lets us do it."
"If you are reasoned into Christianity, some wise fellow can reason you out of it."
