“The presence and the manifestation of the presence are not the same. There can be the one without the other. God is here when we are wholly unaware of it. He is manifest only when and as we are aware of His presence. On our part there must be surrender to the Spirit of God, for His work it is to show us the Father and the Son. If we cooperate with Him in loving obedience, God will manifest Himself to us, and that manifestation will be the difference between a nominal Christian life and a life radiant with the light of His face.”
― A.W. Tozer, The Pursuit of God

“Ransomed men need no longer pause in fear to enter the Holy of Holies. God wills that we should push on into His presence and live our whole life there.”
― A.W. Tozer, The Pursuit of God

“That type of Christianity which happens now to be the vogue knows this presence only in theory. It fails to stress the Christian’s privilege of present realization. According to its teachings, we are in the presence of God positionally, and nothing is said about the need to experience that presence actually.”
― A.W. Tozer, The Pursuit of God

“the presence of God is the central fact of Christianity. At the heart of the Christian message is God Himself waiting for His redeemed children to push in to conscious awareness of His presence.”
― A.W. Tozer, The Pursuit of God
