VOLTAGE UMTHANDAZO
Dumisani iNkosi uJesu! Nkosi, uthinta izinhliziyo zabantu namuhla futhi usiholela eduze necebo lakho eliphelele kanye nohlelo oluningi onalo ngabantu bakho. Ngiyakholelwa ukuthi uzobaholela enjabulweni ethe xaxa, enjabulweni ethe xaxa, Nkosi, nasekukholweni okusebenzayo okuqhubekayo ezinhliziyweni zabo lapho zonke izinto zizokwazi ukwenzeka kubo lapho bethandaza ehoreni esiphila kulo-- imisebenzi emikhulu . Impela uphakathi kwabantu bakho. Amen. Thinta abasha lapha namhlanje ekuseni, nalabo abeza lapha ngaso sonke isikhathi, isibusiso masibe phezu kwabo futhi nokugcotshwa kweNkosi. Siyakudumisa, Jesu. Mnikeze i-handclap!
Ngithathe ikhefu elincane, kepha akubonakali sengathi ngishiyile ngoba ngihlala ngilapha, uyabona, ngithandaza ebusuku ngibuyela endlini, ngifuna iNkosi ngezinto ezahlukahlukene. Mfowethu. UFrisby wabelane ngobufakazi bomlingani owabhala evela ogwini lwaseMpumalanga. Ubusika babubanda ngokwedlulele futhi amandla akhishwa yiqhwa neqhwa eleqile. Babengenayo indlela yokufudumeza indlu. Le ndoda yathandaza nezindwangu zomkhuleko yafunda uBro. Izincwadi zikaFrisby. INkosi yenza isimangaliso sokugcina indlu ifudumele izinsuku ezintathu. Lapho kufika abantu abalungisa ugesi, bamangazwa indlela indlu efudumele ngayo ngaphandle kokusebenzisa i-heater. Siyazi ukuthi iminyaka izophela kanjani — yenza abantu bathandaze kakhulu, babenze bafune iNkosi ngokwengeziwe. Manje, siyazi ukuthi ibandla lobuKristu lalakhiwe phezu komkhuleko wokukholwa nezwi likaNkulunkulu. Uyakukholwa lokho? Kwesinye isikhathi, abantu bavele bayithathe kancane iNkosi. Ehoreni esiphila kulo, kuzoba nokuthandaza okuningi. Ungumenzi wezimangaliso. Uma uthandaza, ngesenzo sokholo, Uhlala ehamba.
Ngesikhathi uPawulu esemkhunjini endleleni eya eRoma, kwaba khona inkathazo olwandle; esinye seziphepho ezimbi kakhulu savela olwandle futhi asavuma. Noma uPawuli ayenesipho sokukholwa nezimangaliso, kulokhu wangena emthandazweni nasekuzileni ukudla waqala ukufuna uNkulunkulu ngempilo yabanye ababesemkhunjini. Ungahle ube nesipho sezimangaliso futhi uthandazele abantu, kepha uma uthandazela abalahlekile, kufanele uye emthandazweni. Amen. Yilokho uPawulu akwenza. Noma lowo mphostoli omkhulu wayenamandla amakhulu, uNkulunkulu akazange awasebenzise [ngaleso sikhathi], kwakudingeka angene emthandazweni nasekuzileni ukudla. Lapho-ke lokho kukhanya okukhulu, iNgelosi yeNkosi, lokhu kukhanya okuyimfihlakalo kwavela kuPaul futhi kwamtshela, “Yiba nesibindi.” Uyabona, emva kwezinsuku eziyi-14 — wababeka [amadoda ayesemkhunjini] emthandazweni futhi base bekulungele ukuthandaza — ngoba wayebaxwayisile ngaphambi kwalokhu futhi abamlalelanga. Ngakho-ke, wathi mabathandaze. Bashiye ukudla baqala ukuthandaza uNkulunkulu wenza isimangaliso. UPawulu wema phambi kwabo wathi, “Akukho muntu kulo mkhumbi ozokwehla” —200 namadoda athile, futhi akekho noyedwa kubo owehle. Ngamunye wabo wasindiswa. Uthe umkhumbi uzobhidlika ngoba uNkulunkulu unamanye amabhizinisi esiqhingini. Ngakho-ke, waya lapho wathandaza njalo yize ayembethe amandla amakhulu. Kodwa ulwazi nokuhlakanipha kwamtshela ukuthi enzeni. Ngemuva kwalokho baphonswa esiqhingini futhi isipho sezimangaliso saqala ukusebenza. Abantu esiqhingini baphulukiswa; abaningi babo babegula. Ngakho-ke, uNkulunkulu wahlephula umkhumbi, wabeka uPaul esiqhingini, wabaphulukisa bonke wase eya eRoma. Ungasho ukuthi dumisa iNkosi?
Ngakho-ke, labo ababesemkhunjini bakhululwa futhi labo abasesiqhingini baphulukiswa. Kungani? Ngoba uNkulunkulu wayenomuntu owayekwazi ukuthandaza - umuntu owayenolwazi nokuhlakanipha kukaNkulunkulu – base beyosebenza.
Ngibe nale ntshumayelo isikhashana, kepha engifuna ukukwenza ukuyishumayela namuhla ngoba kubaluleke kakhulu ukuthi njalo ngezikhathi ezithile, ngaphandle kwalokho, sishumayele ngokukholwa, kufanele sishumayele ngalokhu. Amandla ekukhulekeni kanye namandla kagesi ekukhulekeni nasekuzileni ukudla: lawo ngamandla amakhulu. Ungasho ukuthi dumisa iNkosi? Indaba yethu namuhla ikakhulu isemthandazweni. Ngolunye usuku — abanye abantu bafuna ngishumayele ngokuzila ukudla. Ibhayibheli lithi uJesu waholwa inzilo ende, kepha abantu kwesinye isikhathi bafuna ukuzila okufishane futhi uma beholelwa ekuzileni okude – lelo ibhizinisi labo. Kepha kumele ifundiswe kahle futhi ifundiswe nabantu. Akuwona wonke umuntu ongakwenza lokhu [ngokushesha okukhulu] noma afune ukukwenza. Kodwa ekupheleni kweminyaka — lapho ngangisemthandazweni, iNkosi yangivezela okuthile mayelana nemvuselelo futhi sizokuthola.
Abanye abantu, ezingqondweni zabo, bafuna ukwehlisa uNkulunkulu abe sezingeni lomuntu lapho bethandaza. Abakwazi ngisho nokufika esisekelweni sokuqala. Cishe kungumsangano ukubuka amasonto amanje anciphisa uKristu kusuka kuNkulunkulu aye kumuntu noma kumuntu bese ezama ukuthandaza kuYe. Khumbula ngenkathi uJesu esemkhunjini, Wamisa isivunguvungu futhi masinyane isikebhe saba semhlabathini kwesinye isici; nokho, wayesadala amaplanethi endaweni yonke. Ungaphezu kwendoda. Inhloboni yendoda lena! UnguNkulunkulu-Umuntu. Bangaki kini abangathi, Amen? Ungalinge umnciphise kulokho ayikho. Uzwa konke okushoyo, kepha-ke, uphendulela ikhanda lakhe kuwe. Menze abe yilokhu ayikho. UnguMninimandla onke, oMkhulu, impendulo yomthandazo. Ibhayibheli lithi akunakwenzeka ukujabulisa uNkulunkulu ngaphandle kokholo futhi ungumvuzi walabo abamfuna ngobuqotho. Sithola ukuthi u-Adamu no-Eva balahlekelwa ukubusa esivandeni. Kepha uJesu wabuya ngemuva kwezinsuku ezingama-40 zokuzila nokukhuleka, wabuyisela lelo gunya kumuntu. Wabuyisa lawo mandla wabe eseya esiphambanweni futhi waqeda umsebenzi. Wazuza lawo mandla u-Adamu no-Even abalahla engadini esintwini. Kungenxa yakho. Ukunikeze yona. Uyakukholwa ngempela lokho namhlanje ekuseni?
INkosi yangivezela ngesiphrofetho-njengoba iminyaka iphela, amaKrestu emhlabeni wonke azoqala ukuzila nokuthandaza. Bayoqala ukufuna iNkosi. Uzothutha ezinhliziyweni zabo. Ukhuluma ngemvuselelo; Uzohamba impela emvuselelweni ngoba ukuvezile ngabona okwakwenzeka. Uzohamba ngendlela yokuthi abaningi babo bazokuzila futhi bakhuleke. Kungaba ezinhliziyweni zabo futhi sizoba nemvuselelo ezoza kwabakhethiweyo bakaNkulunkulu. Kuzoba kukhulu kakhulu futhi kube namandla. Kuyosiza abanye baba yiziphukuphuku; izobasusa endleleni njengoba uNkulunkulu eshanela abakhe. Izinto eziningi zizokwenzeka ezinkonzweni ezingaphezulu kwendalo neziphiwo namandla eNkosi azoza kubantu baKhe. Uyabalungiselela futhi uyabalungiselela lapho. Abanye abantu bathi, “Kuyasiza yini ukuthandaza? Kusiza ngani ukuthandaza? Umuntu othile ukukhulekele noma ubungeke ubekhona namuhla. UJesu uhlala esikhulumela. Lapho bethandaza futhi befuna uNkulunkulu ezinhliziyweni zabo njengoba ngikhulume ngakho esikhathini esedlule, uzophendula ngomlilo nangamandla nokukhululwa kwangempela.
Kusizani ukuthandaza? Sizongena kuleyo ndaba. Umthandazo ubalulekile empilweni. Kubalulekile ezimangalisweni. Izobuyisela emuva izinqaba zikaSathane. Izokubeka esisekelweni esiqinile. Sithola eBhayibhelini ukuthi ngesinye isikhathi u-Eliya, umprofethi — u-Eliya omusha — u-Eliya omdala wayenze izimangaliso ezinkulu nezimangalisayo. Impilo yakhe kwakungeyokufuna iNkosi ngaso sonke isikhathi. Izingelosi zazingezintsha kuye. Wamelana noJezebeli, wagumbuqela izithombe zikaBhali, wabulala nabaprofethi balo. Wabe esebalekela ehlane ngoba uJezebeli wayesongela ukumbulala. INkosi yavela kuye futhi yamphekela okuthile-ukudla kwezingelosi zohlobo oluthile. Wahamba izinsuku ezingama-40 ngamandla alesosidlo esisodwa. Lapho u-Eliya efika eHorebe, kwakukhona umbukiso wamandla nxazonke zakhe. Emhumeni, kwakukhona umlilo, amandla, ukuzamazama komhlaba nomoya; kwakungumbukiso kagesi wamandla amangalisayo. Bese kuba nezwi elincane elithule lapho. Kepha wahamba ngamandla omkhuleko, izinsuku ezingama-40 nobusuku obungu-40, kusuka kuleso sidlo esisodwa. Akabange esabalekela muntu. Waze wangena enqoleni yomlilo. Uyabona, amandla amabili eza kuye. Noma, wayesevele engumprofethi omkhulu weNkosi; emva kwalokho, akazange aphinde afane. Wayekhetha ozongena esikhundleni sakhe, adonse amanzi abuye awele. Kwakungekho mpikiswano ngakho konke. Kwakungekho ukwesaba. Uvele wangena enqoleni wathi, “Asihambe. Kumele ngihlangane noJesu. ” Wenza [wahlangana noJesu] eminyakeni eminingi kamuva lapho evela ekuguqulweni isimo noMose. Lihle, akunjalo? Uyabona; ubukhulu besikhathi, ukuthi uNkulunkulu ukwenza kanjani konke lokho. Kuye, bekuyisikhashana nje ngaphambi kokuba abone uJesu.
UJesu wayesenkonzweni eqhubekayo yokukhulumela. Waqala inkonzo yakhe ngezinsuku ezingama-40 zokuzila. Uyabuza, “Kungani Bekufanele akwenze konke lokho uma bekangaphezu kwamandla emvelo? Wayeyisibonelo sokugcina sohlanga lwesintu. Wayesembulela kuphela okufanele sikwenze kanye nakubaprofethi ukuthi Wayengcono kunanoma yibaphi Azobabiza; Wayezomela isivivinyo nabo. Akazange nje atshele uMose ukuthi ahambe izinsuku ezingama-40 nobusuku obungu-40, Akazange atshele uPaul ukuthi enze lokho kuzila noma u-Eliya azile ukudla izinsuku nobusuku obungu-40, kodwa yena uqobo Lwakhe, Wayengakulungelanga lokho, akunjalo? Wayeyisibonelo esihle ebandleni lakhe nakubantu baKhe. Akuwona wonke umuntu obizelwe ukuhamba isikhathi eside kangako. Ngiyakwazi lokho futhi akuyona indaba yami namhlanje ekuseni. Kepha kungakusiza ukubona amandla asemandleni u-Eliya ayenawo. Engizama ukukusho ukuthi ngenkathi u-Eliya engena kulowo mgede ngemuva kwezinsuku nobusuku obungu-3 [bokuzila ukudla], kwaba namandla emoyeni. Kwakungumbukiso wezinto ezazimzungezile. UNkulunkulu ungokoqobo ngempela. Izinsuku nobusuku obungamashumi amane, lapho [uJesu] eqala inkonzo Yakhe — Wayekhuleka ehlane — futhi wabhapathizwa (Luka 21: 23-XNUMX). Waqala usuku ngalunye ngomkhuleko futhi ngemuva kokusebenzela isixuku, wasuka waya ehlane wakhuleka. Lapho wayezonyamalala anyamalale, lokho futhi kuyisibonelo lapho isikhonzi sidinga ukufuna uNkulunkulu yedwa noma sibe sodwa — konke kuyizibonelo. Amanye amadoda asenkundleni, ukube abelalele, amanye awo ngabe awasalanga enkundleni. Ngeke baye esihogweni ngakho, kepha bazokwazi ukuzinika isikhathi esingcono futhi basebenze kangcono. Abanye balaba bantu baze bafa ngoba banwebezela imizimba yabo ngenxa yeNkosi uJesu Kristu.
Sibona ebhayibhelini, ngemuva kokusebenzela isixuku, wahoxa. Ngenkathi abaFarisi befuna ukumbulala, waya entabeni wahlala emkhulekweni ubusuku bonke (Luka 6: 11-12). Kungani abaFarisi babefuna ukumbulala ngesikhathi ekhuleka ubusuku bonke? Wayengazikhulekeli. Wayethandazela labo baFarisi nezingane zabo nalabo bantwana ukuthi ngelinye ilanga bahlangane no-Adolph (Hitler). Bangaki kini abangathi uNkulunkulu uyakwazi akwenzayo? Wayithandazela leyo mbewu ubusuku bonke ngoba wayesifundisa isibonelo ngezitha zethu nokuthi kumele senzeni. Bathandazele futhi uNkulunkulu uzokwenzela okuthile. Futhi ngenkathi isixuku simthatha ngenkani futhi sizama ukumenza inkosi, Wenzani na? Wasuka kubo ngaleso sikhathi ngoba konke kwakulungiselwe lokho ayezele ukuzokwenza. Wayevele eyiNkosi. Wathandazela uPetru lapho esezokwehluleka (Mathewu 14: 23). Uma ubona umuntu esezohluleka, qala ukubathandazela. Ungabashayi phansi. Ngiyakukholwa lokho ngenhliziyo yami yonke. Ngaphandle kokuthi, kungale ndlela yokuthi uphiwe futhi kufanele usho lokho iNkosi ekutshela khona — lapho othile enikelwa — ngandlela thile, uMoya Oyingcwele uyangenelela. Ngaphandle kwalokho, siza abazalwane ngakho konke ongakwenza ngomkhuleko. Wathandaza ngenkathi ethola isimo sokuguqulwa isimo (Luka 9: 28-31). Wathandaza ehoreni lobunzima Bakhe obumnyama eNsimini yaseGetsemane. Uma ukuhora lapho kubonakala sengathi awukho usizo oluvela kumuntu – ungahle ube wedwa ngaleso sikhathi – kulelo hora, yenza njengoJesu, finyelela lapho. Kukhona Othile lapho. Leso ngesinye isibonelo — ngalelohora lobunzima engadini — ukuthi iNkosi izokusiza. Futhi uJesu, ekugcineni, wathandazela izitha zakhe ngenkathi esesiphambanweni. Wayethandaza ngenkathi Engena enkonzweni — izinsuku nobusuku obungu-40 — engavumi. Sathola ukuthi Wayesathandaza esiphambanweni ngenkathi Eqhubeka lapho. Sithole kumaHeberu ukuthi Usasincengela (7:25). Yeka isisekelo sesonto! Yeka indlela yokwakha kwebandla futhi mandla mani!
Uma uthandaza futhi ufuna iNkosi, kukhona ukugcotshwa. Kwesinye isikhathi, uma ungena emoyeni wokukhuleka, noma ulele, uMoya oNgcwele usathandaza. Kunengxenye yomqondo wakho engazi lutho esaqhubeka ikufinyelela. Abanye abantu abakaze bangene emoyeni womkhuleko futhi abaluleki ukuze uNkulunkulu abenzele izimangaliso. Kukhona indlela ongamfuna ngayo uNkulunkulu lapho ngemuva kokuqeda, ezoqhubeka enhliziyweni yakho. Ngiyazi ukuthi ngikhuluma ngani. Uzokwenza lokho. Lapho uthandaza futhi ufuna iNkosi nsuku zonke, kuthi lapho ukhuluma nalapho ucela okuthile, kwamukele nje. Usuthandazile vele ngakho. Kukhona okunye ngaphandle nje kokubuza uma uthandaza. Umkhuleko ngempela wenziwe ngokukhonza iNkosi nokubonga kuyo. Uthe thandazela ukuthi umbuso wakho uze; ukuthi umbuso Wakhe uzokuza, hhayi owethu. Wayala ibandla ukuthi likhuleke futhi kumele kube nesikhathi lapho ngamunye wenu kufanele athandaze futhi afune iNkosi ngaphambi kokuphela kwenkathi. Lalela lokhu — nasi isicaphuni engisitholile kwenye indawo: “Abantu abaningi abakaze izinzuzo zangempela zomthandazo ngoba abanalo uhlelo oluhlelekile lokuthandaza. Benza konke okunye kuqala bese kuthi uma benesikhathi esisele, bathandaze. Imvamisa, uSathane ubona ukuthi abanasikhathi esisele. ” Ngezwa ukuthi lokho kwakungukuhlakanipha impela lapho.
Isonto lokuqala lalibeka isikhathi esijwayelekile sokuthandaza (Izenzo 3: 1). Ngesinye isikhathi, baphulukisa indoda esendleleni eya emthandazweni [ethempelini]. UPetru noJohane baya ethempelini ndawonye ngehora lokukhuleka cishe ngehora lesishiyagalolunye. Lonke ikholwa elizokwenza impumelelo yokuthandaza kumele libeke ihora elijwayelekile lomkhuleko. Kufanele ube nesikhathi esithile esibekelwe eceleni. Kukhona ezinye izindlela ngenkathi usebenza ukuthi ungathandaza. Kepha kunezikhathi lapho kufanele ube wedwa noNkulunkulu. Nginomuzwa wokuthi emvuselelweni enkulu iNkosi ezoyithumela kubantu baYo, kuzoba khona amandla amakhulu - ukugcotshwa okuvela kuMoya oNgcwele- okufuna ukubamba ngendlela yokuthi abantu babe semoyeni umthandazo lapho kufika ukuhunyushwa. Ngikholwa ukuthi bazoba ngendlela abangacela ngayo futhi bazoyithola. Uyazi; njalo ebhayibhelini, lapho kwenziwa izimangaliso ezinkulu, othile wayesekhulekile vele. Lapho kufika isivivinyo Bheka; uyathandaza, uyakhonza, udumisa uNkulunkulu, kwakha amandla kagesi ngaphakathi kuwe namandla amakhulu uma uzila ukudla, lokho kuseBhayibhelini. Kukubantu ukwenza lokho [umthandazo nokuzila ukudla]. kuDaniel, wayesekhulekile vele. Lapho isivivinyo sifika ezinganeni ezintathu ezingamaHeberu, base bekhulekile vele. Kepha uyakha, wakha amandla. Bese kuthi uma uzothandaza, kufane nombani. Udidizela izakhi futhi uNkulunkulu uzokuthinta umzimba wakho, futhi iNkosi izokuphulukisa. Izikhathi eziningi ngithandaza, ngiza lapha, ngithandazela abantu, bazoqala bangene kulolohlangothi futhi ngiqonde ukuthi ligcwele ukukholwa, futhi ligcwele amandla. Kuyisambulo. Kungumqondo wokuthi uNkulunkulu uzofika ahumushe abantu baKhe. Siyeza kulokho.
Akukho okungathatha indawo yomthandazo ohleliwe. Uma ufuna into ikhule, kufanele uqhubeke uyinisela. Ungathi, Amen? Labo abanomkhuleko ohleliwe, umcebo wezulu usekholweni labo — kusekholweni lanoma yimuphi owesilisa noma owesifazane ofunda ukuthi angangena kanjani ebusweni beNkosi ngomkhuleko. UPaul wathola inkonzo yakhe ngemuva kokuphuphuthekiswa izinsuku ezintathu ngaphandle kokudla nhlobo. Uthole inkonzo yakhe enkulu evela eNkosini. INkosi yayimbizile— “Ungathinti lutho baze bakuthandazele” —ukuze aqondise inhliziyo yakhe ngoJehova. Sithola kuzo zonke izikhathi eBhayibhelini lapho kwenziwa khona okukhulu, ukukhululwa okukhulu, ukukhuleka nokuzila ukudla, futhi kwesinye isikhathi, umkhuleko nje wawenzeka ngaphambi komcimbi. Abanye abantu bathandaza ngaso kanye isikhathi lapho befuna okuthile. Bekufanele ukuthi bakhulekelwe phezulu. Lapho-ke lapho becela, bazokwamukela. Wenzani umthandazo? Bekuzokwenzani ngokukholwa? INkosi ingumvuzi walabo abamfuna ngobuqotho. Umkhuleko unikeza umuntu amandla phezu kwamademoni. Abanye bebengeke baphume ngaphandle kokuthi kuhlanganiswe nokuzila ukudla (uMathewu 17:21). Yingakho enkonzweni, ngokwengxenye yami, lapho umuntu enokholo oluncane noma othile eletha umuntu — ngibonile ukuthi uyahlanya uphulukiswa. Sengivele ngiyifunile iNkosi ngaleyo ndlela. Amandla akhona ngabo, kepha kusamele babe nokholo. Sengike ngabona abantu abaningi abasile bephulukiswa eCalifornia futhi kufanele ize ngamandla amakhulu, amandla amakhulu noma [amadimoni] angahambi. Umkhuleko uwedwa ngeke ukwenze. Kufanele ivela enkonzweni egcotshiwe evela kuNkulunkulu.
Umkhuleko nokuthethelela kuvikela ukusindiswa kwabalahlekile (Mathewu 9: 28). Bangaki kini abakholwa yilokho? Uthi, “Yini engizoyikhulekela?” Uthandazela ukuthi iNkosi ithumele izisebenzi ekuvuneni. Kufanele ukhulekele nezitha zakho. Kufanele uthandaze ukuthi umbuso wakho ufike. Kufanele uthandazele ukuthululelwa kweNkosi. Kufanele ubeke inhliziyo yakho ukuthandazela ukukhululwa kwabalahlekile nokwelashwa kwabalahlekile. Ngomthandazo ohleliwe futhi ojwayelekile, uzoba umuntu omusha eNkosini. Ngikholelwa ezikhathini eziningi ngoba kunesipho esingaphezu kwamandla emvelo namandla eNkosi ekukhululeni abantu, bakushiya kuphelele enkonzweni, kepha bona ngokwabo badinga ukuthandaza. Kulula kakhulu. Wena uthi, “Wazi kanjani na?” Wakhuluma nami kaningi. Futhi lapho ungangena nje kukho, kulungile uma ufuna ukwenza lokho, ungathola ukuphulukiswa kwakho. Kepha kuthiwani ngezinto zodwa ozifunela uNkulunkulu, into oyithandazelayo, ngokwakho? Kuthiwani ngempilo yakho yezikamoya futhi kanjani ngamandla owafunayo eNkosini? Kuthiwani ngalabo ofuna ukukhuleka embusweni kaNkulunkulu nalabo ofuna ukulethwa ngumkhuleko wakho? Uthini ngabanye ongabasiza ngemikhuleko yakho? Abantu abakucabangi lokho, kepha inqobo nje uma kukhona isipho samandla, kaningi, bayayeka ezinye izinto zihambe. Siyazi ukuthi encwadini yeZenzo, nalapho kwakukhona izipho eziningi nezimangaliso eziningi, abantu babefundiswa ukuthandaza ngehora elithile. Isikhathi esithe xaxa ngenkathi iNkosi isebenza nami, ngingathanda ukuba nalabo bantu esingabashiya lapha kwesinye isikhathi, lapho abangafika bangene emthandazweni. Siyakudinga lokho. Inkonzo yami, impela, uNkulunkulu wayezoyinakekela. INkosi yayinyakaza; kepha ufuna ukudlulela kubantu baKhe futhi futhi ufuna ukubabusisa. Uyazithandazela ngqo ekuhumusheni, kusho iNkosi. Hawu! Yilokho okuyikho!
Uma uthola isiqalo esijwayelekile, uma uthola ukuhleleka ekusebenzeni neNkosi, kuthi lapho ulele, uqhubeke nokuthandaza. Uvuka nengilosi ngakuwe. U-Eliya wakwenza. Amen. Kuhle impela. Khumbula ngemuva kokuthatha izinsuku ezingama-40 ethandaza futhi ezila ukudla, wayenesibindi futhi enamandla. Wamasha wabuyela lapho kuAhabi nakuJezebeli; babaqalekisele ngenxa yendoda abayibulele isivini sayo. Wahamba waphumela ngaphandle wakhetha ozongena esikhundleni sakhe. Wayengasasabi. Wayekhona wenza lokho, wangena enqoleni wahamba. Ngikholwa ukuthi uNkulunkulu, ekupheleni kwenkathi, uyasilungiselela ukuze sikwazi ukuhamba Naye. Imvamisa, umthandazo ohleliwe uzolindela futhi uvimbele inhlekelele (Mathewu 6: 13). Izonikeza ukuholwa nguNkulunkulu ehoreni elidingekayo (Izaga 2: 5). Izonikeza ukuphepha kwezezimali futhi ihambise umthwalo ocindezela abantu abaningi namuhla. Uma ufunda ukuthandaza futhi uhlelekile ngokwenzayo noNkulunkulu, kuzokusebenzela. Mayelana nesipho samandla, kuhambisana nomkhuleko, kungamandla nje, wonke amandla owabambayo. Futhi ngiyakhuleka; Sengiyifunile iNkosi kaningi futhi bayazi ukuthi uNkulunkulu unami. Ngihlala ngqo nayo. NgoSuku Lokwahlulela — bese mina [iNkosi] ngithi, “Uyashumayela futhi uze nakho khona lapho futhi nabantu bazi ukuthi kungamandla kaNkulunkulu, kepha kungani bengahlali nawe lapho?” Futhi wathi uhlobo lwabo lokugcotshwa –Wathi “abakhuleki, futhi abangifuni. Ngakho-ke, abakwazi ukuhlala lapha nami. ” Ukholo lwabo lusebenzela lokho [ukuphulukiswa], kepha akukho ukuxhumana okuhlala njalo noNkulunkulu. Abahlali eduze noNkulunkulu ukuze bahlale bezungeze amandla kaNkulunkulu. Kepha kuza ukunyakaza noshintsho phakathi kwabantu bakaNkulunkulu futhi uzobabusisa.
Labo abangathatha le ntshumayelo ezinhliziyweni zabo namuhla — uma bengakwazi ngisho ukuthola ihora lomkhuleko, kodwa bangathola noma yisiphi isikhathi nhlobo, ngokuhlelekile, isikhathi ngasinye bethandaza noma bevuka noma beyolala noma ngabe kuyini — uma Bangavele babeke isikhathi esithile njengesenzo sokholo, bazobusiswa futhi bavuzwe. Uthe funa uzothola. Lokho kusho ukuthi isikhathi ngasinye lapho ubeka eceleni ukumfuna enhliziyweni yakho. Uma uqeda ukumfuna enhliziyweni yakho usuku ngalunye, noma ngabe kuyini — labo abalalelayo namuhla, iNkosi yangitshela ukuthi bazobusiswa. Akusikho yini ukugoqana izandla okwesabekayo uNkulunkulu engitshela ukuba ngize ngikusho lokho? Kufanele ubeke inhliziyo yakho. Lapho inhliziyo yakho ibeka ngokwengeziwe kuNkulunkulu, kulapho ukholwa ngokwengeziwe enhliziyweni yakho, bese iqala ukuza kuwe. Wenza uzibuthe lokho bese uqala ukukhuluma bese izinto ziqala ukwenzeka. Ngizama ukukubonisa ukuthi kungani kube khona ukwehluleka nokuthi kungani abanye benu bengakutholanga obekufuna. Kufanele uhleleke; kufanele ube nehora lesikhathi noNkulunkulu futhi kufanele ukholwe yiNkosi. Lokhu ngikukholwa ngenhliziyo yami yonke. Uzomangala ukuthi kuzokwenzekani ekupheleni kweminyaka. Labo abalalela leli khasethi phesheya kwezilwandle nakuyo yonke indawo, bakhuleka impela laphaya nasezindaweni ezehlukene ohlwini lwami, futhi kwenziwa izimangaliso, izinto zenzeka kubo. Futhi ngaphandle kwekhasethi — lokhu kuya kubantu abazokulalela bese beqala ukuthandaza. Ngizokwamukela izincwadi ezivela lapha futhi ngingakutshela ngamandla eNkosi ngaphakathi kimi, ngizokwamukela izincwadi ezivela kule khasethi futhi bazongitshela ukuthi yini uNkulunkulu abenzele yona. Uyabona, sizama ukufinyelela, hhayi lapha kuphela; sizosiza bonke abantu abafuna ukulalela izwi leNkosi. Ngiyakukholwa lokho ngenhliziyo yami yonke.
Umkhuleko wokukholwa uzoletha ukuphulukiswa lapho konke okunye kwehluleka. Odokotela bayahluleka nemithi iyahluleka. Lapho konke okunye kwehluleka, umthandazo uzoletha ukuphulukiswa. UHezekiya, lapho lalingekho ithemba — ngisho nomprofethi wathi akukho themba, zilungiselele ukufa. Noma kunjalo, wabhekisa ubuso bakhe odongeni futhi wafuna iNkosi ngomkhuleko. Wakholwa uNkulunkulu ngomkhuleko. Kwenzenjani? INkosi yaguqula isimo, yabuyisela impilo yayo futhi yengeza iminyaka eyishumi nanhlanu empilweni yayo. Lapho konke okunye kwehluleka, umkhuleko nokholo kuzoletha ukukhululwa. Ukubona lezi zithembiso eziningi zemivuzo kulabo abathandazayo, kuyinto edabukisayo ukuthi abantu abaningi basesimweni sokucindezeleka ngokomoya, ngaphandle kokunqoba, noma sebephelelwe yithemba. Ithini impendulo yalokhu? Impendulo ukuthi abantu kumele bafike esinqumweni ezimpilweni zabo ukwenza umthandazo ube yibhizinisi. UDaniel, umprofethi, wawo wonke amadoda ebhayibhelini owabonayo, wayenecebo elihlelekile, ibhayibheli walikhipha. Saze sasitshela ukuthi kathathu ngosuku, wayebheka ngandlela thile [direction], wabheka lapho futhi wathandaza. Wenza umthandazo waba ibhizinisi. Lo mprofethi wayithinta inhliziyo kaNkulunkulu kangangoba kwathi lapho izingelosi zibonakala kuye, zathi, “Uthandwa kakhulu.” Uyajwayeleka mfana omdala! Ungasho ukuthi, dumisani iNkosi? Sithole enkonzweni kaKristu eyisibonelo futhi uPaul wathi landela engikwenzayo nami. Isikhathi ngasinye, babenesikhathi esijwayelekile. Akunandaba ukuthi ngubani oza noma bangaki abeza ukuzothandazelwa noma ngabe kwakunjani, babenesikhathi sokuthandaza. Nginomkhuba ofanayo. Akunandaba ukuthi kwenzakalani noma kwenzakalani eduze kwami, anginandaba nokuthi kwenzekani. Kubukeka sengathi ngesikhathi esithile, ngivele ngivele ngilahleke ndawana thize futhi ngilapha [eCapstone Cathedral] ebusuku ngiyathandaza nasekamelweni lami endlini. Kuwumkhuba onjalo futhi kuba lula. Uyazi yini? Kuba nje — awunankinga yokuya etafuleni [ukuyodla], akunjalo? Mfana, bekungaba kuhle ukube bekufanele uthandaze ihora ngaphambi kokuba uthole ngisho nokudla. Mfana, besizoba nesonto elikhulu kunawo wonke emhlabeni! Ungathi, Amen?
Lo mlayezo uNkulunkulu anginike wona — angizange ngisuke futhi ngazila ukudla ngalesi sikhathi. Bengingeke ngisho nalokhu uma ngikwenzile. Ngikwenza noma kunini uma ngifuna futhi uma kukude kakhulu, uzokuqaphela. Engikwenzile ukuthandazela nokufuna uNkulunkulu ngezinto eziningi, ezinye zazo ngivele ngazithinta namhlanje kancane. Kepha ngiyakwazi lokhu: asikhulumi nje lapha. Lokhu engikhuluma ngakho yibandla elikhethiwe, isonto likaNkulunkulu Ophilayo ezweni lonke. UNkulunkulu uzophakamisa izinga, kepha ngeke aliphakamise kuze kube yilapho umthandazo uqala ukuhamba phakathi kwabantu. Uma unesikhathi esihlelekile njengawe oya etafuleni, ngiyaqinisekisa ukuthi kuzosebenza. UDaniel wathandaza kathathu ngosuku ingelosi yathi uthandwa kakhulu. Wasindisa isizwe, niyabo? Kufanele ube nomuntu othembekile. Kule mvuselelo, kufanele uthembeke futhi ngemuva kokuthandaza, kufanele uthathe isinyathelo. Awuthandazi nje, kufanele wenze okuthile. Kufanele ubeke imilenze emthandazweni wakho. Uyabona; iNkosi inendlela yokukusiza. Empilweni yomuntu ngamunye, unephethini necebo. Awuzalwanga ize. Lapho uthola intando kaNkulunkulu ngempela futhi ufunda lokho enhliziyweni yakho, empeleni kunenjabulo engathinteki [engakhulumeki]. Abantu abeza lapha, uma bezoqhubeka nokuthandaza ezinhliziyweni zabo, bebezoqala ukubona inkonzo — lokho uNkulunkulu akwenzayo yonke indawo nokuthi yini ezokwenzeka embusweni kaNkulunkulu.
Kunombhalo othi ungakhathazeki ngalutho, kepha ngomkhuleko nangokunxusa, yazisa uNkulunkulu izicelo zakho. Kunendlela eyodwa kuphela emhlabeni ongazikhathazi ngalutho, okungukuthi ngomthandazo, ngokunikela nangokubonga uNkulunkulu. UJesu wathi phonsa umthwalo wakho kimi ngoba ngiyakukhathalela. Uthe funda ngami, ijoka lami lilula. Manje, niyabona ukuthi intshumayelo imayelana nani? Abanye abantu bangathi, "Umkhuleko: lokho kuyinto enzima enyameni." Kepha ngokuhamba kwesikhathi, kungumthwalo olula kakhulu owake wawuthwala. INkosi yathi isizathu esenza ube nemithwalo eminingi ukuthi ubungathwali ijoka Lakhe. Uyazi ukuthi ijoka yinto ozibophela yona bese uyadonsa? Ngakho-ke, bonke abakhethiwe ndawonye basejokeni noNkulunkulu nomsebenzi weNkosi, futhi bayadonsa ndawonye. Yilokho ijoka. Uthe phonsa umthwalo wakho phezu kwami futhi engizokunika khona ijoka ukuze ukwazi ukudlula nje. Futhi udonsa ngobunye, udonsa ngokholo, udonsa ngamandla futhi uNkulunkulu uzobusisa inhliziyo yakho. Yilokho okuzayo ekupheleni kwesikhathi. Ngingancamela ukuba nomthwalo womkhuleko — bese kuba lula — kunokungawuthandi nhlobo bese ngiba sesimweni lapho ushaywa khona ngokuphelele. Ungathi, Amen? Ngakho kuyakhokha.
Njengoba ngishilo, uMphostoli Pawula bekanesipho semangaliso nesipho sekukholwa. Amadoda amaningi ebhayibhelini ayenesipho sokukholwa nesipho sezimangaliso. Kepha kube nesikhathi lapho bengakusebenzisanga lokho. UNkulunkulu ubengeke avume ukuthi isetshenziswe. Kunesikhathi lapho umthandazo wawusetshenziswa futhi ngemuva kwalokho, wawumangalisa. Ngiyazi enhliziyweni yami futhi ngiyohlala ngikholelwa enhliziyweni yami ukuthi kunokuthile okuhle kubantu bakaNkulunkulu. Kepha labo abalele nalabo abayeke ukulalela lolu hlobo lomyalezo bazodukiswa. Wangitshela. Bazonikezwa inkohliso futhi ayikho indlela emhlabeni lapho uzokwazi ukukhuluma nabo. Uzozwakala njengomuntu ongasile kubo noma ngabe unengqondo ephelele kunazo zonke uNkulunkulu ake wazinikeza. Wena uthi, “Angakwenza kanjani lokho na?” Bheka ukuthi Wenzani kuNebukadinesari.
Lapho uthandaza, kunezinto eziningi okufanele uthandaze ngazo. Uma uzokhuleka imizuzu eyishumi nanhlanu kuphela kanye nemizuzu eyishumi nanhlanu ngesinye isikhathi, lokho kulungile. Zama ukuthola isikhathi esijwayelekile sayo [umthandazo] futhi uzobusisa inhliziyo yakho. Lokhu kwenzelwa ukuphela kweminyaka ngokuphelele. Esikhathini esithile ekupheleni kwenkathi, kufanele uthandaze noma yikanjani, ngoba uzofaka umoya womkhuleko kwabakhethiweyo. Ukhuluma ngemvuselelo nazo zonke izinto ezihambisana nayo nezinzuzo, bebezoba lapha, kusho iNkosi. Olalela lo mlayezo ungaphezu kwendoda ehlakaniphile ngoba uNkulunkulu uzombusisa ngempela. Ngiyakukholwa lokho. Yini enye engaba ngaphezu kwendoda ehlakaniphile? Kungaba ukuthi bona kanye abakhethiweyo bakaNkulunkulu bazokwenza lokho [bathandaze]. Kungaba umoya womprofethi. Kungaba okuthile uma ungalandela futhi wenze ngokuvumelana nalokhu okushiwo lapha namuhla. Ngiyakukholwa lokhu: uzoba umqemane, ucebe futhi uhlakaniphe uma ungakudlulisa lokho. Uyakukholwa lokho na? Ngiyakukholwa ngempela. Siyabona, kwesinye isikhathi, ukuthi kungani kunamaphutha. Kungani kukhona ukwehluleka kwabanye abantu? Singabuyela emuva ngqo. Khumbula, uma ufuna okuthile kukhule, kufanele unisele. Awukwazi nje ukuphonsa ipayipi lamanzi lapho bese ubuya ngemuva kwesonto. Angazi ukuthi kungani kuzobuyela kimi ukukhuluma ngalokhu manje. Nganginezihlahla ezine ezinhle, ezinhle ngemuva kwendlu — iminyezane ekhalayo. Bekufanele uwagcinele amanzi. Nganginomkhankaso futhi ngesikhathi sempi yenkolo — umgcini wezinkundla akazange akuqonde engikushoyo — lokhu akulutho kuye, kungenzeka kunoma ngubani. Ngathi kuye, “Sizoba nempi yokulwela impi. Ngiyazi ukuthi uzonisela izihlahla, kungani ungahlali nje weqe njalo ngosuku? Angikhumbuli ukuthi ngakusho kanjani. Wayecabanga ukuthi angifuni ukuthi eze endlini ngesikhathi somhlangano. Cishe wayecabanga ukuthi ngabe ngithandaza noma okuthize. Ngakho-ke, wahamba. Yonke yaleyo mithi yafa. Njengabantu bakaNkulunkulu uma bengathandazi befuna iNkosi. Ekupheleni kwalo mlayezo — angikaze ngikholwe empilweni yami ukuthi lokhu kuzobuya emuva kwayo yonke leyo minyaka. Bheka; nguNkulunkulu oletha iphuzu, uyakwazi lokho?
Nangu eza: yilowo nalowo wethu ubizwa ngomuthi wokulunga futhi sitshalwe ngamanzi futhi kufanele sithele izithelo ngesikhathi esifanele. Uma ungenawo amanzi, ngeke uthele isithelo. Singukutshala kweNkosi nemithi yokulunga. Ekupheleni kweminyaka, ibhayibheli lithi zizoqhakaza. Uma ungumuthi wokulunga, lezi zinsizakalo zizokusiza impela, kepha udinga nokuthandaza. Udinga lawo mandla ongeziwe ekupheleni kweminyaka. Bheka; umhlaba wonke uzothathwa yisilingo esinjalo futhi izono ezinjalo zizokwehlela umhlaba wonke. Ifu elinjalo lazo zonke lezi zinto lizokwehlela abantu nenkohliso enamandla. Abanye benu bazothi, “O, ngeke ngibe yingxenye yalokho. Lokho ngeke kwenzeke kimi. ” Kepha kuzoba njalo, uma ungathandazi. Ungathi, Amen? Sibizwa ngemithi yokulunga. Ngakho-ke, kufanele sibanisele ngoMoya oNgcwele. Lapho unganiseli, njengoba ngikutshelile, umuthi uyoma bese uyafa. Kufanele uqhubeke uyinisela. Lokho kusho ngezindlela eziningi kunokuthandaza. Kumele uze ngokukholwa, ukholwe kuNkulunkulu ngokukholwa, ufakaze futhi uma uNkulunkulu ehamba kuwe futhi ubona umuntu othile, abalethe esontweni. Nami ngiyazizwa, njengoba siza ekupheleni kweminyaka, ukuthi umuntu ngamunye okulesi sakhiwo — ngiyathandaza ngaso — ukuthi uNkulunkulu ahambise enhliziyweni yakho ukuthi othile angafuna ukuya nawe esontweni futhi ungaletha kubo.
Kubalulekile ukuthi lo mlayezo ufike ngalesi sikhathi esifanelekile. Kwazi bani ukuthi abanye babafundisi lapha nalabo abangena enkonzweni bazothola inkonzo enamandla impela kulokhu futhi bakwazi ukuthandazela abantu futhi babe nemiphumela ngamandla kaNkulunkulu? Kwesinye isikhathi, lokho abantu abakucabangayo kuwumyalezo nje oya kwabambalwa lapha — abazi ukuthi yini engenzeka — abantu baholelwa kulokhu maqondana nokuthi benzeni. UJesu wabeka isibonelo. Into yokuqala ayenza ukufuna uNkulunkulu izinsuku ezingama-40 nobusuku obungu-40. Waphenduka, wehlula usathane — kubhaliwe — wasikhombisa okufanele sikwenze. Ngibe nabantu abafunda incwadi yami—Izimangaliso Zobuciko—Ngongqongqoshe ababili, omunye uphesheya kwezilwandle, bayifundile incwadi base beqasha okusha eNkosini ukuthi benzeni. Khumbula, uma ukholwa ngempela futhi uthandaza enhliziyweni yakho, kungaba khona okwenzekayo kuwe nakulabo abaseduze kwakho. Nginezintshumayelo ezimbili kweyodwa lapha. Bangaki abafuna ijoka leNkosi? Kuyakhanya. Kuyindlela elula yokuphuma. Umkhuleko awunzima neze. Ibhayibheli lithi liyindlela elula yokuphuma ngoba izokusiza. Siyizihlahla zokulunga. Ngakho-ke, ake sigcine amanzi egeleza. Khumbula ukubonga iNkosi. Uma usukhathele ukuthandaza, dumisa iNkosi. Lapho-ke, uma ucela okuthile, kungenzeka ukuthi ukuthole. Ngaphezu kwakho konke, umthandazo nokudumisa kuzokugcina ugcwele amandla.
Kwesinye isikhathi, abantu abazi ukuthi kufanele bathandaze kanjani. Bakuyekela kumpristi, bakushiyele esontweni — isonto lesimanje — bakushiyele ezihlotsheni, futhi bakushiyele kulokhu bese bekuyekela kulokho. Abaqondi. Ake ngikutshele okuthile, kukhona okuthile emthandazweni — umthandazo wokholo. Vele uzimisele ngempela enhliziyweni yakho futhi kukhona uBukhona, futhi kukhona ushintsho oluzokufikela. Kukhona okuthize ngakho. Ngiyakukholwa ngenhliziyo yami yonke. Labo abafunda ukungena emoyeni wokukhuleka [kulezi zinkonzo ngisho] futhi bafunde ukuthi bangakwenza kanjani lokho, ngiyakutshela, kungokwasezulwini. Amen. Angifuni mthwalo. Ngifuna ijoka. Ungathi, Amen? Kunjalo impela. Sizodonsa ndawonye. Abantu bakaNkulunkulu badinga ukuzwa umthelela kaMoya oNgcwele kunanini ngaphambili. Ngifuna abantu bangene esimweni esifanayo naleso u-Eliya angena kuso ngaphambi kokuwela iJordani. Kwakunomoya womoya. Kuzamazame umoya. Leyo nto iyeza kubantu baKhe ngaphambi kokuba basuke lapha neNkosi ngoba yena [u-Eliya] ufanekisela ukuhumusha, kusho ibhayibheli. No-Enoke wenza kanjalo. Bahunyushelwa kude.
Lapho uNkulunkulu esho okuthile ukukusiza, usathane omdala uzozama ukukuthatha kuwe. Kodwa akakwazi, nokho, ngikholwa ukuthi umkhuleko wami uzobamba enhliziyweni yakho futhi ngiyakholelwa ukuthi iNkosi izokubusisa. Njengoba abanye abantu beqala ukwenza okuthile, besenzela iNkosi okuthile, uyazi ukuthi uNkulunkulu ungumvuzi walokho? Ngikholwa ukuthi konke iNkosi ekunikeze lapha namhlanje ngukuhlinzekwa nguNkulunkulu. Ngikholwa ukuthi inokuthile okubaluleke kakhulu kubantu Bakhe. Bangaki kini abangathi, dumisani iNkosi? Dumisani igama lakho elingcwele. Ngiyakholelwa ukuthi vele usuphendula izinhliziyo. Uphakamisa izinhliziyo, Nkosi futhi usebenzela abantu bakho. Usebenza phakathi kwabantu bakho futhi siyabonga ngalokho ozokwenza. Uzobusisa abantu bakho njengamanje. Nikeza iNkosi i-handclap!
