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
You see, a potter can only mold the clay when it lies completely in his hand. It requires complete surrender.
Corrie Ten Boom
Worries carry responsibilitie s that belong to God, not to you. Worry does not enable us to escape evil it makes us unfit to cope with it when it comes.
Corrie Ten Boom
Four marks of true repentance are: acknowledgement of wrong, willingness to confess it, willingness to abandon it, and willingness to make restitution.
Corrie Ten Boom
Hold everything in your hands lightly, otherwise it hurts when God pries your fingers open.
