Buried Under the Snow
By A.W. Tozer0The Holy SpiritFaithMAT 13:58JAS 5:14A.W. Tozer emphasizes the danger of allowing vital truths, such as the power of prayer and the fullness of the Holy Spirit, to become neglected and unpracticed within the church. He illustrates this through the experience of a couple seeking healing, who found their church's teachings lacking despite the pastor's belief in prayer. Tozer calls for a revival of these truths, urging believers to not only acknowledge their existence but to actively teach and live them out. He prays for the church to experience the active presence of the Holy Spirit, rather than letting these essential doctrines remain buried under the snow of inactivity.
