A.W. Tozer emphasizes the urgent need for a new type of preacher in Christianity, one who embodies the qualities of the old prophet rather than the conventional roles of the ruler, priest, or smooth-talking pastor. This new preacher must have a profound vision of God and be willing to stand against societal norms, even at the cost of facing opposition from within the Church. Tozer argues that such leaders will be passionate, blunt, and fearless, driven by a deep love for Christ and a commitment to the salvation of souls. He calls for a restoration of the gifts of the Spirit, particularly the gift of prophecy, to rejuvenate the Church and guide it through its challenges.
