dangerous and difficult time And when it is 310 00:17:58,000 --> 00:18:02,240 very dangerous and difficult Then we always pray 311 00:18:02,240 --> 00:18:02,780 lord. 312 00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:07,560 Tell my friends to pray for us And 313 00:18:07,560 --> 00:18:09,980 the lord does And we came in holland 314 00:18:09,980 --> 00:18:12,400 and there was a girl who was really 315 00:18:13,260 --> 00:18:16,320 Now you could say backward a little bit 316 00:18:16,320 --> 00:18:18,640 fever-minded, but she loved the lord and 317 00:18:18,640 --> 00:18:21,920 the lord loved her And when we came 318 00:18:21,920 --> 00:18:24,300 to a group of christians to tell what 319 00:18:24,300 --> 00:18:27,060 we had that experience She said tante. 320 00:18:27,320 --> 00:18:31,200 This is auntie Tante

in the midst of the night? 324 00:18:38,820 --> 00:18:41,820 Suddenly the lord awoke in me and said 325 00:18:41,820 --> 00:18:45,600 pray for tom to curry And for allen 326 00:18:47,080 --> 00:18:49,680 And she said then I did it Now, 327 00:18:49,920 --> 00:18:51,820 do you see what a joy it is 328 00:18:51,820 --> 00:18:52,740 to be an intercessor? 329 00:18:53,940 --> 00:18:56,440 That girl heard the voice of the lord 330 00:18:56,440 --> 00:18:59,200 and that is a great joy to hear 331 00:18:59,200 --> 00:19:02,020 his voice And when you are an intercessor 332 00:19:02,020 --> 00:19:07,620 you stand together with the lord We must 333 00:19:07,620 --> 00:19:12,820 understand That Praying means to bring our own 334 00:19:12,820 --> 00:19:18,220 ability into this the realm of the ability 335 00:19:18,220 --> 00:19:22,360 of god And that is so great because 336 00:19:22,360 --> 00:19:27,260 his answers are the greatest reality I once 337 00:19:27,260 --> 00:19:32,480 spoke for a huge group in um Church 338 00:19:32,480 --> 00:19:35,720 in australia And I had spoken about a 339 00:19:35,720 --> 00:19:39,720 text Where jesus says behold I stand at 340 00:19:39,720 --> 00:19:43,020 the door and I knock If anyone hears 341 00:19:43,020 --> 00:19:45,740 my voice and opens the door I come 342 00:19:45,740 --> 00:19:49,380 in And after I was through I gave 343 00:19:49,380 --> 00:19:51,760 an invitation but was a very full church 344 00:19:51,760 --> 00:19:54,060 So I said people when you have asked 345 00:19:54,060 --> 00:19:55,740 jesus to come into your heart or you 346 00:19:55,740 --> 00:19:57,960 are willing to do it Then we are 347 00:19:57,960 --> 00:20:00,300 very happy to help you with literature and 348 00:20:00,300 --> 00:20:03,700 prayer

00:20:11,220 --> 00:20:14,180 first who came were two very tiny children 352 00:20:14,710 --> 00:20:17,140 They had not understood about that room behind 353 00:20:17,140 --> 00:20:19,560 the altar So they stood in front of 354 00:20:19,560 --> 00:20:21,960 me and one said am I too little 355 00:20:21,960 --> 00:20:25,640 to ask jesus to come into my heart? 356 00:20:26,020 --> 00:20:29,460 I said no Jesus is interested even in 357 00:20:29,460 --> 00:20:31,560 sparrows and you are far bigger than a 358 00:20:31,560 --> 00:20:35,700 sparrow And then that little girl Told her 359 00:20:35,700 --> 00:20:38,460 hands and the whole church was dead silent. 360 00:20:38,620 --> 00:20:40,040 She they heard what she said. 361 00:20:40,300 --> 00:20:42,620 He said Jesus i've been very naughty. 362 00:20:42,760 --> 00:20:44,280 Will you come into my heart and will 363 00:20:44,280 --> 00:20:45,980 you make it clean with your blood? 364 00:20:46,680 --> 00:20:52,440 amen And jesus came just like

he comes But sometimes we 368 00:21:02,790 --> 00:21:06,750 who have done it already Jesus stands outside 369 00:21:06,750 --> 00:21:10,470 and he knocks again And when we say 370 00:21:10,470 --> 00:21:12,790 yes lord come in then he comes I 371 00:21:12,790 --> 00:21:14,730 said to that other little girl Will you 372 00:21:14,730 --> 00:21:15,310 do the same? 373 00:21:15,610 --> 00:21:18,090 She said I did it three weeks ago 374 00:21:19,610 --> 00:21:22,750 And after that I have prayed every day 375 00:21:22,750 --> 00:21:27,790 for betty not betty i've done it I 376 00:21:27,790 -->

that must be 382 00:21:45,250 --> 00:21:49,370 emma And they promised they would pray for 383 00:21:49,370 --> 00:21:53,570 emma Emma had Also prayed lord jesus coming 384 00:21:53,570 --> 00:21:56,430 to my heart and then after they pray 385 00:21:56,430 --> 00:21:58,750 they said then we will pray with emma 386 00:21:58,750 --> 00:22:01,590 together for a fourth girl And when that 387 00:22:01,590 --> 00:22:03,670 fourth girl has accepted the lord we will 388 00:22:03,670 --> 00:22:05,750 pray for the fifth girl and so on 389 00:22:05,750 --> 00:22:09,130 the chain Reaction of the intercession in the 390 00:22:09,130 --> 00:22:11,770 hearts of two little girls And this chain 391 00:22:11,770 --> 00:22:15,150 reaction can come into your heart all of 392 00:22:15,150 --> 00:22:20,110 you when you When you start to pray 393 00:22:20,110 --> 00:22:22,330 for that man for that woman for that 394 00:22:22,330 --> 00:22:26,480 girl for that boy And when you pray 395 00:22:26,480 --> 00:22:30,380 that lord will touch him or her And 396 00:22:30,380 --> 00:22:32,400 you go to that person for whom you 397 00:22:32,400 --> 00:22:34,700 have prayed and you tell them about the 398 00:22:34,700 --> 00:22:37,320 lord jesus How jesus has said? 399 00:22:38,040 --> 00:22:43,140 Come unto me all All I will give 400 00:22:43,140 --> 00:22:48,240 you rest And when you

00:34:36,820 --> 00:34:38,600 said and would you be so kind to 609 00:34:38,600 --> 00:34:40,620 close this meeting with a word of prayer 610 00:34:41,280 --> 00:34:42,739 That man looked at me. 611 00:34:42,840 --> 00:34:45,460 He said I I've never prayed in my 612 00:34:45,460 --> 00:34:50,360 life That is not the director of the 613 00:34:50,360 --> 00:34:52,860 seminary that is the professor of that non 614 00:34:52,860 --> 00:34:56,740 -christian university Oh professor doesn't matter But so 615 00:34:56,740 --> 00:34:59,060 I pray and I pray but all the 616 00:34:59,060 --> 00:35:02,100 japanese are very very polite He came on 617 00:35:02,100 --> 00:35:05,060 to me after the meeting and bowed several 618 00:35:05,060 --> 00:35:08,180 times very deep And he said I was 619 00:35:08,180 --> 00:35:10,100 so sorry that I could not do what 620 00:35:10,100 --> 00:35:11,960 you asked me But I had never prayed 621 00:35:11,960 --> 00:35:13,200 before I said professor. 622 00:35:13,500 --> 00:35:15,320 I honor you that you didn't do it 623 00:35:15,320 --> 00:35:18,080 If you have been superficial you should perhaps 624 00:35:18,080 --> 00:35:21,640 have said a prayer without believing it But 625 00:35:21,640 --> 00:35:23,540 i'm very glad that you didn't do it. 626 00:35:23,740 --> 00:35:24,820 But tell me professor. 627 00:35:24,980 --> 00:35:26,560 Why are you not a christian? 628 00:35:26,560 --> 00:35:29,460 He said I oh no then first I 629 00:35:29,460 --> 00:35:33,520 must study christianity I said no, sir In 630 00:35:33,520 --> 00:35:36,300 this book is not written those who have 631 00:35:36,300 --> 00:35:39,600 studied christianity Get the power to become a 632 00:35:39,600 --> 00:35:43,160 giant of god, but those who receive Jesus 633 00:35:43,160 --> 00:35:46,920 christ as their lord and savior He gives 634 00:35:46,920 --> 00:35:48,900 them the power to become a giant of 635 00:35:48,900 --> 00:35:50,900 god and I prayed with him and after 636 00:35:50,900 --> 00:35:54,100 half an hour that professor Made a decision 637 00:35:54,100 --> 00:36:02,180 for jesus that the angel rejoiced Do you 638 00:36:02,180 --> 00:36:06,480 see my blunder The lord used to improve 639 00:36:06,480 --> 00:36:10,000 the pattern the beauty of the pattern I'm, 640 00:36:10,140 --> 00:36:12,960 so glad that we can tell everything to 641 00:36:12,960 --> 00:36:15,420 the lord now It is true. 642 00:36:15,580 --> 00:36:19,640 Sometimes God gives the no answer I could 643 00:36:19,640 --> 00:36:23,200 speak about hours and hours about the answers 644 00:36:23,200 --> 00:36:28,460 the yes answer that i've experienced Sometimes god 645 00:36:28,460 --> 00:36:32,780 says no I was in In solitary confinement 646 00:36:32,780 --> 00:36:36,540 alone in a cell four months But I 647 00:36:36,540 --> 00:36:40,180 was still in holland And I prayed every 648 00:36:40,180 --> 00:36:40,460 day. 649 00:36:40,660 --> 00:36:43,620 Oh lord, let the enemy never bring me 650 00:36:43,620 --> 00:36:48,240 to a concentration camp in germany And god 651 00:36:48,240 --> 00:36:51,000 gave the no answer he allowed that the 652 00:36:51,000 --> 00:36:54,940 germans brought betsy and me to that terrible 653 00:36:54,940 --> 00:36:59,080 Concentration camp ravensburg And I could not understand 654 00:36:59,080 --> 00:37:02,640 why god had not answered our prayers But 655 00:37:02,640 --> 00:37:07,020 now I understand it I understood it earlier 656 00:37:07,660 --> 00:37:12,140 I remember that Betsy had died And a 657 00:37:12,140 --> 00:37:14,880 week later I was set free and I 658 00:37:14,880 --> 00:37:18,120 stood before the gate of ravensburg When that 659 00:37:18,120 --> 00:37:22,760 gate should open I could go home When 660 00:37:22,760 --> 00:37:25,080 I stood there waiting there came a friend 661 00:37:25,080 --> 00:37:27,900 of mine and said corrie, I must tell 662 00:37:27,900 --> 00:37:30,460 you something Mrs. Voss and mrs. 663 00:37:30,560 --> 00:37:36,420 DeMoye Both died today And then I looked 664 00:37:36,420 --> 00:37:39,320 for the last time at the cruel camp 665 00:37:39,760 --> 00:37:42,460 And I said lord if it had been 666 00:37:42,460 --> 00:37:45,420 only for these two From whom I know 667 00:37:45,420 --> 00:37:47,780 that you have used betsy and me to 668 00:37:47,780 --> 00:37:50,580 bring them to you lord For both have 669 00:37:50,580 --> 00:37:53,460 accepted you lord jesus as their savior lord 670 00:37:53,460 --> 00:37:55,660 if it had been only for those two 671 00:37:55,660 --> 00:37:58,300 But there are many more it has been 672 00:37:58,300 --> 00:38:03,020 all worthwhile all our suffering Even betsy's death 673 00:38:03,480 --> 00:38:07,460 to be used to save souls for eternity 674 00:38:08,100 --> 00:38:15,080 Is worthwhile to suffer even to die I 675 00:38:15,080 --> 00:38:17,240 saw god's side of the pattern, you know, 676 00:38:17,540 --> 00:38:20,980 I like that that um Little poem that 677 00:38:20,980 --> 00:38:22,860 you have in your country. 678 00:38:23,020 --> 00:38:26,420 My life is like a weaving between my 679 00:38:26,420 --> 00:38:30,240 god and me I do not choose the 680 00:38:30,240 --> 00:38:30,760 colors. 681 00:38:30,940 --> 00:38:35,200 He works steadily Of times he weaves sorrow 682 00:38:35,200 --> 00:38:38,800 and I in foolish pride forget he sees 683 00:38:38,800 --> 00:38:43,800 the upper And I the underside Not till 684 00:38:43,800 --> 00:38:45,980 the loom is silent and the shuttle cease 685 00:38:45,980 --> 00:38:49,820 to fly will god unroll the canvas And 686 00:38:49,820 --> 00:38:53,680 explain the reason why The dark threads are 687 00:38:53,680 --> 00:38:57,020 as needful in the skillful weaver's hands Than 688 00:38:57,020 --> 00:39:00,060 the threads of gold and silver in the 689 00:39:00,060 --> 00:39:05,340 pattern he has planned No It is so 690 00:39:05,340 --> 00:39:07,300 good to know that god never makes a 691 00:39:07,300 --> 00:39:10,660 mistake Once we will understand that when we 692 00:39:10,660 --> 00:39:13,160 are in heaven, but now already we can 693 00:39:13,160 --> 00:39:15,480 do Very much for the word of god 694 00:39:15,480 --> 00:39:18,480 and this book shows us that god has 695 00:39:18,480 --> 00:39:21,480 no problems with the world and with your 696 00:39:21,480 --> 00:39:24,680 and my life God has no problems only 697 00:39:24,680 --> 00:39:25,260 plans. 698 00:39:25,620 --> 00:39:29,020 There's never a panic in heaven And the 699 00:39:29,020 --> 00:39:30,840 thing that you and I must do is 700 00:39:30,840 --> 00:39:34,560 look in the right direction Look unto jesus 701 00:39:34,560 --> 00:39:36,700 So often people say to me. 702 00:39:36,900 --> 00:39:39,200 Oh, but corrie you have such a great 703 00:39:39,200 --> 00:39:42,740 faith But I have not a great faith 704 00:39:44,260 --> 00:39:46,640 I have a small faith, but it is 705 00:39:46,640 --> 00:39:51,100 a faith in a great god And is 706 00:39:51,100 --> 00:39:52,800 not written in the bible let us look 707 00:39:52,800 --> 00:39:56,640 unto our faith In hebrew 12 it said 708 00:39:56,640 --> 00:39:59,660 let us look unto jesus the author and 709 00:39:59,660 --> 00:40:02,320 the finisher of our faith Look around and 710 00:40:02,320 --> 00:40:06,660 be distressed Look within and be depressed Look 711 00:40:06,660 --> 00:40:10,900 at jesus and be at rest I had 712 00:40:10,900 --> 00:40:14,560 a jewelry store before the war Sometimes I 713 00:40:14,560 --> 00:40:16,680 had a new watch in my store that 714 00:40:16,680 --> 00:40:17,200 did not run. 715 00:40:17,480 --> 00:40:21,060 Well, I had never repaired it But I 716 00:40:21,060 --> 00:40:23,640 sent it back to the manufacturer I wrote 717 00:40:23,640 --> 00:40:26,080 him a letter that new watch doesn't run. 718 00:40:26,360 --> 00:40:28,960 Well, will you repair it after the manufacturer 719 00:40:28,960 --> 00:40:32,080 has repaired such watch Then it went always 720 00:40:32,660 --> 00:40:37,020 absolute exact When my face doesn't work, I 721 00:40:37,020 --> 00:40:40,580 don't try to repair it I sent it 722 00:40:40,580 --> 00:40:44,840 back to the manufacturer Jesus the author and 723 00:40:44,840 --> 00:40:49,240 the finisher and when jesus repairs it then 724 00:40:49,240 --> 00:40:52,580 it works So don't look into your faith 725 00:40:52,580 --> 00:40:57,420 but unto jesus What a joy is it 726 00:40:58,140 --> 00:41:02,060 That we can And may at most cast 727 00:41:02,060 --> 00:41:06,800 our burdens on the lord And he listens 728 00:41:09,370 --> 00:41:16,360 But we have to surrender you know There 729 00:41:16,360 --> 00:41:21,040 are sometimes people Who say to me I 730 00:41:21,040 --> 00:41:23,420 know that we are called to be channels 731 00:41:23,420 --> 00:41:27,940 of streams of living water But I did 732 00:41:27,940 --> 00:41:32,480 not experience living water flow through me on 733 00:41:32,480 --> 00:41:37,980 the thirsty world of today You know, perhaps 734 00:41:37,980 --> 00:41:40,340 I hear some of the people who say 735 00:41:41,040 --> 00:41:44,980 I have I have not experienced That the 736 00:41:44,980 --> 00:41:48,340 living water has streamed through me this last 737 00:41:48,340 --> 00:41:52,020 week

00:44:54,910 I must tell you one little story that 789 00:44:54,910 --> 00:44:58,710 I forgot now to tell I saw When 790 00:44:58,710 --> 00:45:01,230 I was five years old, I told you 791 00:45:01,710 --> 00:45:04,590 That I had asked jesus to come into 792 00:45:04,590 --> 00:45:09,270 my heart and jesus came And immediately the 793 00:45:09,270 --> 00:45:13,470 lord made me an intercessor My mom told 794 00:45:13,470 --> 00:45:16,210 me later Oh corrie as small as you 795 00:45:16,210 --> 00:45:18,710 were only five years old You were an 796 00:45:18,710 --> 00:45:21,650 intercessor for every little prayer that you said 797 00:45:21,650 --> 00:45:24,110 and that's where the word And lord will 798 00:45:24,110 --> 00:45:26,390 you save all the people in the smedestraat 799 00:45:27,010 --> 00:45:29,830 Now the smedestraat was a street behind our 800 00:45:29,830 --> 00:45:32,330 house Where were many persons and you saw 801 00:45:32,330 --> 00:45:34,690 all the drunken people there And
