About Corrie Ten Boom

Reflection of God's Glory by Corrie Ten Boom

Worrying is stupid. The Bible says, “Do not worry about anything.” 

If you are worrying, you are being disobedient. I had to

understand that before I could stop doing it. First, I tried in my

own strength - positive thinking, not fretting anymore. That

approach was about as successful as attacking a lion with a toy

pistol! Only the Lord can set you free through the Holy Spirit.

Ask for forgiveness.  Be cleansed by the blood of the Lord Jesus

and be filled by the Spirit, of who Paul says, “God did not give us

a spirit of timidity, but a spirit of power, of love, and of self

discipline” (II Tim. 1:7).

Not I, But Christ by Corrie Ten Boom

A little three-year-old boy met his father at the railroad station. “I want to carry your

suitcase, Daddy,” he said.

“All right, boy,” the father said, “put your hand on mine.”

So they carried the heavy suitcase home, where the boy said to his mommy, “I

carried Daddy’s suitcase.”

That is just what we must do: Put our weak hand in Jesus’ strong hand. Then we shall

be strong together with Him - yes, more than conquerors. You and I will not make the

mistake of saying: “I carried the suitcase.” We will praise and honor Him who not only 

helps us to carry our burdens, but also carries us.”

Messages of God's Abundance by Corrie Ten Boom

God wants to conquer our largest and smallest difficulties
through His love. Think of the problems in your life at this
moment. Are there problems that you cannot conquer with
human love? Do it from now on with God’s love, God’s 
“agape,” which never falls short.  Happy is the man who can
draw his love from the heart of  his  Savior,” Count Zinzendorf 
once said.

- Messages of God's Abundance by Corrie Ten Boom
===================================================================
Living in Germany from 1700 - 1760, Count Zinzendorf was a life-long Christian who knew
of the struggles that even we face. Knowing that 18th Century Christians were being
persecuted, he purchased the village of Berthelsdorf as a refuge for persecuted Christians 
of every denomination. Like Corrie ten Boom, he knew that love can conquer all, and that 
the purest love comes from the heart of our Savior.
 

Yom HaShoah 2012

Tomorrow is one of the most solemn and sober days of the entire year -Yom HaShoah 2012 - Holocaust Remembrance Day 2012. A few years ago, trees were planted for the ten Boom family at Yad Vashem, the Holocaust Museum. They were honored as Righteous Among the Nations for their work in delivering more than 800 Jews from the Holocaust. 

Today the Jewish people again face the threat of extinction. And just as Corrie ten Boom and her family rose to the challenge, you and I must do it today if Israel is to be delivered from destruction. Tomorrow we will remember and renew a solemn vow of “Never Again!”

Recently, Dr. Michael Evans, president of the Ten Boom Fellowship officially inaugurated The Jerusalem Prayer Team World Headquarters.    Hundreds of our dearest elderly Holocaust survivors witnessed the said event and were given food, clothes, medicines and other necessities for their daily use. The said building will serve as a community center and a shelter for our beloved Holocaust survivors and the Jewish people.  With your love and support of any kind,  you can reach out and comfort them especially this important day of their lives. 

Visit the Ten Boom Museum and discover the Ten Boom family's kind deeds and The Hiding Place where 800 Jews were saved  by Corrie.

Real-time obedience

This is a real-time essay. The Lord is calling me to obey him in something today, and I would like to write to you about it as I process it. The matter concerns an angry email I received this morning and my working through how to reply. My first reaction was self-defense. I felt I had grounds. I felt I had been misunderstood. I felt I could justify what I was being accused of.

Still, I have decided to wait a while before replying. In the meantime I have read the Bible, taken a long walk, had breakfast, replied to other emails, and watched a 1974 interview of Corrie Ten Boom.

This was enough time for the Holy Spirit who lives inside me to suggest I trash my scripted reply to the angry letter. It is possible to be right in an argument (and yet I may not be as right as I think I am) but to be called to a higher response than rightness. If I respond to my friend with my justifications, he may agree with me or he may not. But will that produce the best result? Paul says, “The aim of our charge is love” (1 Timothy 1:5). What response could I give to the man that would be most aligned with that aim?

Over the past few hours I have come around to seeing that my words to my friend (the words that prompted his terse email) were not the best; they fell short of Christ’s call to “be perfect.” There are a dozen things I could have said that would have been better—that would have been peaceable, gentle, fruitful (James 3:17). And when we know what is the best thing to do and yet we settle for something less, we sin (James 4:17).

I have found throughout my life that when apologizing and asking forgiveness, it is best to do it cleanly. Tacking on a rider, even a mild and subtle one, ruins a worthy apology. When I speak to my friend next, I will simply tell him that I should not have spoken to him that way—and then may the Lord put a clamp on my mouth. Let me make this a public commitment before you all.

I know that afterward I will feel strengthened in my spirit if I do things God’s way and not in the way of fleshly desire. One always does. The choice of sin always carries its own punishment in the body (Romans 1:27), and the choice o    f obedience its own reward (2 Corinthians 3:18).

In My Father's House by Corrie Ten Boom

Corrie ten Boom was fifty years old when she began harboring Jews during World War II. She was imprisoned in a concentration camp, and after her release she traveled the world, proclaiming the gospel. What happened in those earlier fifty years to prepare Corrie for all that lay ahead?

In My Father's House (over 250,000 copies sold) explains how God used life's small beginnings and everyday happenings to prepare Corrie for the suffering and victories to come. The eighth book of the Corrie ten Boom Library, it is the first in the series to focus on the years leading up to World War II and the events of The Hiding Place. More than merely a collection of memories from Corrie's colorful life, this book explores the human side of one of the most authentic Christian witnesses and the faith that kept her going strong.

Dr. Mike Evans, Founder of Corrie Ten Boom Fellowship and Defender of Jews Across the Globe

Dr. Mike Evans has been defending the Jews for more than 40 years.  He is the founder of the Corrie Ten Boom Fellowship and had visited diffrent countries to save the Jews.  In his trip to Rome few years ago, Mother Teresa prayed with Mike for the children of Jerusalem. 

We have 8 days until the UN Palestinian statehood vote. If the Palestinians were to be recognized as a non-member state, they would be able to sign certain international treaties, such as the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court, which they cannot currently sign. This will mean thousands of lawsuits against Israel and isolation and demonization of the State of Israel.

Every child of God must fight this battle in prayer. This is a spirit battle led by Satan himself.  Please join MIke Evans to pray for the peace of Jerusalem.
