Confirming Signs
By A.W. Tozer0MAT 28:18MRK 16:20HEB 2:4A.W. Tozer emphasizes the necessity of divine confirmation in the ministry of evangelism, highlighting that the Church's coldness leads to a denial of the supernatural signs that accompany true faith. He critiques the tendency of believers to rationalize their lack of spiritual power, warning that without God's miraculous aid, efforts in evangelization are futile against the world's strength.

He concludes with a prayer for God's presence in ministry, recognizing the need for supernatural support.
