He highlights the importance of seeing beyond surface-level events to grasp the deeper spiritual realities at play.

The Gift of Prophetic Insight
By A.W. Tozer01CO 12:10EPH 4:11A.W. Tozer emphasizes the urgent need for prophetic insight within the church, arguing that true prophets understand the spiritual condition of their times and communicate God's message accordingly. He critiques religious leaders who merely recite scripture without addressing the current spiritual landscape, likening them to the scribes of Jesus' time. Tozer calls for preachers who possess the gift of prophecy, capable of discerning and interpreting the present religious climate rather than just predicting the future. He warns that without such prophetic voices, the church risks misunderstanding its own activities and the significance behind them. Ultimately, Tozer believes that a new breed of preacher, one who has encountered God and speaks boldly against societal norms, is essential for the rejuvenation of Christianity.
The Indispensable Necessity of Spiritual Diagnosis
By A.W. Tozer0PRO 4:7JER 29:131CO 2:14HEB 5:14JAS 1:5A.W. Tozer emphasizes the urgent need for spiritual diagnosis within the church, urging believers to question the underlying reasons for the current religious activities rather than simply observing them. He points out that many Christians are unaware of the true state of their faith and the relationship between God and their actions, likening the situation to the complacency of Judaism before Christ. Tozer calls for prophetic insight to discern the present spiritual condition, as historical knowledge alone is insufficient for understanding the current state of Christianity. He stresses that it is crucial for believers to seek clarity and understanding in their faith now, rather than waiting for future historians to analyze the past.
