Without Him I can do nothing...

This is not only the title of a book written by Corrie ten Boom, it was also something so important for her. Obeying her Lord made her powerful in Christ, as we can see in the books and speeches of our sister who is right now at her favourite place: at the feet of our Lord.

Quotes

Future
Never be afraid to trust an unknown future to a known God.

Worry
Worry does not empty tomorrow of its sorrow; it empties today of its strength.

Strenght
Trying to do the Lord's work in your own strength is the most confusing, exhausting, and tedious of all work. But when you are filled with the Holy Spirit, then the ministry of Jesus just flows out of you.

Bible
Voltaire said one day : " I expect that within fifty years there will not be one Bible left in the world."  His house is now a distribution center for Bibles in many languages.

Problems
Let God's promises shine on your problems.

Prayer
Is prayer your steering wheel or your spare tire?

Devil
When a Christian shuns fellowship with other Christians, the devil smiles. When he stops studying the Bible, the devil laughs. When he stops praying, the devil shouts for joy.

Life
The life of a Christian is an education for higher service.

Teaching
The best learning I had came from teaching.

Jesus
You may never know that JESUS is all you need, until JESUS is all you have.

Faith is like radar that sees through the fog -- the reality of things at a distance that the human eye cannot see.

Memories are the key not to the past, but to the future.

Discernment is God's call to intercession, never to faultfinding.

It is not my ability, but my response to God's ability, that counts.

Faith sees the invisible, believes the unbelievable, and receives the impossible.

A man is powerful on his knees.

Do not struggle to get out of rough hands. God uses rough hands to make us beautiful and perfect. Of Jesus we read: "The soldiers plaited a crown of thourns and put it on his head . . ." John 19:2 I gave my back to the smiters and . . . I hid not my face from shame and spitting." Isaiah 50:6 He had power to help Himself, but He never used it.

If God has called you, do not spend time looking over your shoulder to see who is following.

Peter said, "No, Lord!" But he had to learn that one cannot say no while saying Lord, and that one cannot say Lord while saying no.

Obedience is doing no less than we are asked. Trust is doing no more than we are asked.

Don't worry about what you do not understand... Worry about what you do understand in the Bible but do not live by.

Speech: Power in prayer

Corrie ten Boom tells about her life with the Lord and the role of prayer. „I like to pray with an open Bible. I like to pray: 'Father, You have said it in Your Word, now You must do it.' And God likes that. (...) He likes it when we expect that He does what He promises.”

The Secret Room, The Story of Corrie ten Boom

"You need not fear," said the Dutch Prime Minister over the radio. "We shall not be attacked by any of the countries fighting in this war. They have promised this."
Father ten Boom suddenly turned off the radio. His two daughters, Corrie and Betsie, looked up in surprise.
"The Prime Minister is wrong," said the old watchmaker. "There will be war. Germany will attack us and we shall be defeated."
