Corrie Ten Boom
Only to those who have been in prison does freedom have such great meaning.
Corrie Ten Boom
If the enemy cannot make you BAD, he’ll make you BUSY.
Corrie Ten Boom
Forgiveness is setting the prisoner free, only to find out that the prisoner was me.

Be united with other Christians. A wall with loose bricks is not good. The bricks must be cemented together.
Corrie Ten Boom
You are redeemed and you are also victorious, over your sins in Jesus.
Corrie Ten Boom
Discernment is God's call to intercession, never to faultfinding.
Corrie Ten Boom
The world is deathly ill. It is dying. The Great Physician has already signed the death certificate. Yet, there is still a great work for Christians to do. They are to be streams of living water, channels of mercy to those who are still in the world. It is possible for them to do this because they are overcomers.
Corrie Ten Boom
Forgiveness is not an emotion it is an act of the will.
Corrie Ten Boom
We are up against the unseen power that controls this dark world and the spiritual agents are from the very headquarters of evil. Therefore, we must wear the whole armour of God, that we may be able to resist evil in its day of power, and that even when we have fought to a standstill, we may still stand our ground.
Corrie Ten Boom
Don't bother to give God instructions just report for duty.
Corrie Ten Boom
It is not on our forgiveness any more than on our goodness that the world's healing hinges, but His. When He tells us to love our enemies, He gives, along with the command, the love itself.
Corrie Ten Boom
I have experienced His presence in the deepest hell that man can create. I have really tested the promises of the Bible, and believe me, you can count on them.
Corrie Ten Boom
There is an ocean of Gods love available-there is plenty for everyone. May God grant you never to doubt that victorious love-whatever the circumstances.
Corrie Ten Boom
We are born into God’s kingdom when we ask the Lord Jesus to come into our lives. But this is only the beginning.
Corrie Ten Boom
When we are on the beach we only see a small part of the ocean. However, we know that there is much more beyond the horizon. We only see a small part of God's great love, a few jewels of His great riches, but we know that there is much more beyond the horizon. The best is yet to come, when we see Jesus face-to-face.
Corrie Ten Boom
God buries our sins in the depths of the sea and then puts up a sign that reads, No fishing.
Corrie Ten Boom
You know, eternal life does not start when we go to heaven. It starts the moment you reach out to Jesus. He never turns His back on anyone. And He is waiting for you.
Corrie Ten Boom
If the Gospels were truly the pattern of God’s activity, then defeat was only the beginning.
Corrie Ten Boom
Faith is like radar that sees through the fog -- the reality of things at a distance that the human eye cannot see.
