God answers unorthodox prayer, too!

When the Nazis arrested me and put me in prison I hid a very small Bible on my back,

under my clothing, and boy, how I was scared! I thought, O my, they will find my Bible.

Do you know what I said?  I said, Lord, in your Bible you tell that there are angels.

Now I think you must put angels around me,  Lord, that these people do not see me. 

But I thought, Angels are spirits, and you look through them.  So, I said, Lord, will you

please make your angels untransparent?  O, you can pray so very unorthodox when you 

are in need! Do you know that? And, do you know what happened? The people did not

see me. The Lord did what I asked Him to do! Twice I had to pass, and they did not see

me, so I came with my Bible into the prison.

CORRIE TEN BOOM SPEAKS TO PRISONERS

With Chaplain Ray

Your Strength will Equal your Days

Living for the moment, yes, that’s what you need. The Lord’s Prayer says, “Give us today
our daily bread.” Deuteronomy 33:25 says,”…your strength will equal your days.” That is
a promise made more than three thousand years ago. A person does not fall so much
because of the troubles of one day, but if tomorrow’s burden is added, this load can 
become very, very heavy. It is wonderfully easy to live just for the day.

While largely unfamiliar to most Jews, Corrie ten Boom is a well-known hero among believing Christians, a model of how Christians should act in dark times. Her private story of faith and heroism was depicted in the play "Corrie Remembers", staged last Sunday to a wide audience of Christians and Jews from all over northern Israel.

The one-woman show highlights the memories of Corrie ten Boom, one of the "Righteous among the Nations." Corrie's story remains little-known to Jews. However, the City of Afula and the Galilee Center for Studies in Jewish-Christian Relations at Yezreel Valley College worked to change that by bringing this drama to Israel.

Corrie Ten Boom Explains what Replaces Sin in our Heart

                                                                                     
"When the Lord makes your heart clean with His blood, then instead of sin coming forth from your heart, the spirit of love, peace, kindness, goodness and self control is there, and you are so happy! You could not do this yourself. He does it."

Not I, But Christ by Corrie Ten Boom

Once a man went to the village priest to confess his sins and receive absolution. He said, “I stole three sacks of potatoes.” The priest listened and pointed to repentance for forgiveness.  When they had finished talking, the priest said: “I heard about that theft, but thought only two sacks were taken. You spoke of three.”

“Yes,” the man answered, “but tomorrow I am going to steal the third one.”

In John 8:11 Jesus told the woman caught in Adultery, “Go, and sin no more.”

Jesus died on the cross to set sinners free. He or she whom Jesus sets free, is free indeed!

- NOT I, BUT CHRIST

Messages of God's Abundance by Corrie Ten Boom

There is nothing in which God demonstrates His love more clearly than in His promises and His commandments. The amount of God’s love is unlimited, but we only receive as much as we use.

=================================================================
Often times we forget that every promise in the Bible comes with a condition. Corrie Ten Boom never forgot that! And, she understood that God’s supply of love never dwindles, but, rather, it is our willingness to seek it that often diminishes. Her whole life Corrie Ten Boom sought God’s love, and so can, and should you!
