Lase lifika kimi livi leNKHOSI, litsi,

Hamba umemete etindlebeni teJerusalema,utsi, isho kanje iNKHOSI; Ngikukhumbulela,umusa webusha bakho, nelutsandvo lwekukotitakwakho, nekungilandzela kwakho ehlane, nelivelelingahlanyelwanga.

Israyeli bekabungcwele kuyo iNKHOSI, nelulibolwetitselo tayo, bonkhe labamdlako bayaku…futsinelicala; lokubi kutabehlela, isho iNKHOSI.

Vanini livi leNKHOSI, O ninendlu yaJakobe, nani-mindeni yonkhe yendlu yaIsrayeli:

Isho kanje iNKHOSI, Bubi buni boyihlo lababutfolekimi, baze bakhweshela khashane nami, futsibalandzela lokulite, futsi baba-lite na?

Abashongo kutsi, Iphi iNKHOSI leyasikhuphula evenilaseGibhithe, futsi yasihola ehlane, eveni lelugwadvulenelemigodzi, eveni lesomiso, nelematfunti ekufa,eveni lekungazange sekundlule umuntfu kulo, futsi…akuhlali-muntfu khona na?

Nganingenisa eveni lelivundzile, kutsi nidletitselo talo nalokuhle kwalo; kepha nine natsinaningena, nalingcolisa, live lami, futsi nenta lifa lamilabasinengiso.

Nebapristi abashongo kutsi, Iphi iNKHOSI?Nalabaphetse umtsetfo bebangangati: futsi nebafundisibaphambuka kimi, nebaprofethi baprofetha ngaBaali,futsi balandzela tintfo letingenanzuzo.


Ngako-ke ngitaku…phikisana nani, isho iNKHOSI,ngiphikisane nebantfwana bebantfwana benu.Ngoba…kulelive lase-Chittim, futsi nibone; futsi

Futsi ngitsandza ku—kutsatsa sihloko saloko, njengekutsi,Imitfombo Levutako.21 Uma, ekufundzeni lomBhalo manje ekuseni; lokushokutsi,wonkhe umBhalo uniketwa ngekuphefumulelwa. Futsi sitaeNdlini yeNkhosi sitocondziswa nekucondza. Futsi ngaletinyetikhatsi kutsi sibona i…nomanguyiphi intfo lencane endleleni.22 Njengalendvodza yetemphi, kulesikhashana lesendlulile,beyikhuluma kitsi futsi itsi letinye tintfo letitsite, kutsimhlawumbe encenye kulelinye live lelitsite kunesichumanelesitsite i-missile, noma—noma intfo lefana nemcondvo lonjalo,futsi kufanele sitfole lokutsite lokutawuphikisana naloko nge—ngekwelicebo letemphi.23 Yebo-ke, intfo lefanako ingena ebandleni, kuya esifundzenisemfundisi lapho indvodza ishumayela khona, noma umaangumvangeli ensimini. Uma ibona kucala lutfutfuva, nentfoletsite lecalako nje, ihamba, ebuncaneni bayo kumbe nomangabe kuyini; nguleyondvodza, uma iyinceku yaNkulunkulu,kuvimbela leyontfo ibe kudze kakhulu emicondvweni yebantfukute kutsi bahlale bakhashane nayo. Futsi asifuni loko kutsikwenteke, kutsi tsine singene etindzaweni letinjengaleyo.24 Manje, ngesikhatsi saJeremiah lapha, siprofetho sakhe,bese kutse kwaba yiminyaka lengemashumi lasitfuphaekufa kwa—kwaIsaya—Isaya. Futsi bese baneminyaka letsikuba ngemashumi lasitfupha bete umprofethi lomkhulu.Bekuna Habakuki nalabanye balaprofethi labancane, kephaIsaya bekangumprofethi wekugcina lomkhulu. Nebantfubebakadze, ngaleso sikhatsi, bete umuntfu wekubabitabaphume. Bebakhweshile. Naloku, bebabantfu baNkulunkulu,bebakhweshile bangena kulesimo manje le—lesibatfola bakuso,njengoba Jeremiah weta kutoprofetha kubo. NaJeremiah futsi


beka…Waprofetha ngaphambi kwekutfunjwa, kantsi futsiwaya ekutfunjweni nabo.25 Futsi-ke, kusobala, Daniel ufike emvakwaJeremiah. FutsiDaniel washo kutsi bekanekucondza lokunengi, ngemBhalo,kweminyaka lengemashumi lasikhombisa lebebatayihlalalapho.26 Kusobala, kwakukhona lomunye umprofethi phakatsikwabo, lobekafuna kwenta lelijoke, lapho alibeka entsanyeniyakhe, kutsi kutaba yintfo lencane, kutsi phakatsi kweminyakalemibili, awu, Nkulunkulu bekatobabuyisa bonkhe, kodvwaJeremiah bekati lokwehlukile kuloko. Futsi siyati kutsikwentekani kumprofethi lowaprofetha ngalokungesikho, wafangawo loyomnyaka. Ngako Nkulunkulu akamvumelanga kutsieme.27 Futsi manje siyacaphela futsi timo tebantfu ngalolosuku.Manje anginifiseli kutsi ningangicondzi kahle, a—angikahlosi,inhloso…kulengihlose kukusho lapha, leminye imiBhalonemanotsi lamancane.28 Bekuvame kutsi ngingadzingeki kutsi—kutsi ngibhalephansi imiBhalo yami netintfo. Kodvwa emvakwekutsingedlule emashumini lamabili nesihlanu kwesibili, awu, a—angisakhumbuli njengoba bengivame kukhumbula, ngakongibhala phansi umBhalo nekutsi ukwati, kuloko, lapho ngiyakhona. Futsi-ke kuba sikhatsi lesinengi kakhulu ngikhulekelalabagulako, kanjalonjalo, futsi ngiphume futsi sengihambile,anginaso sikhatsi sekutsi impela ngitadishe njengoba ngifanelengente.29 Manje, kodvwa lomprofethi lomkhulu walolusuku lolu,bekanguJeremiah, futsi bekayintfo letsite njengeluhlelolwaAmos nalabanengi balabanye baprofethi labavukako.Wanyakata ngesikhatsi abona timo telive. Manjebekunetindzawo…30 Ngalesinye sikhatsi uma ukhuluma ngesive, sona singahlesicabange kutsi sibonisa li—licembu lelitsite. Akusiko loko.Sitfombe sonkhe sesive. Futsi siyatfola, namuhla, sona impelasimo se—sekucatsaniswa namuhla njengoba kwakunjalongetinsuku taJeremiah, kutsi sive lucobo lwaso, ngako konkhe,singene kuko, kakhulu noma kancane, kukhonta titfombe;luhlobo lolunjalo, ngingatsi, sikhweshile kuNkulunkulu. Futsingekwenta loko, kube butsakatsaka bepulpiti. Ngoba, kubelipulpiti belihlale lacondza, futsi lineLivi laNkulunkulu,Nkulunkulu bekatoba kuwo onkhe emabandla njengobaAhamba phakatsi kwetfu lapha. Kodvwa bahole besuka kuloko.Futsi nguleyo intfo lengi—lengifuna kukhuluma ngayo manjeekuseni. Futsi manje sitfola kutsi loko kucinisile lucobo kuyoyonkhe iminyaka.


31 Ngikholwa kutsi bekunguAmose, njengoba ngike ngashokuye esikhashaneni lesendlulile, kutsi watsi beka “ngesuyeumprofethi, noma indvodzana yemprofethi.” Kodvwa washo,kutsi, “Uma libhubesi libhodla, ngubani longayokwesaba na?”32 Futsi uma noma ngubani lowake weva libhubesi mbambalibhodla ehlane, leti lenitiva emahhokweni ngalapha tisuketikhalisa kwakati nje. Kodvwa uma lelilodvwa libhodla ehlane,yonkhe intfo iyalalela. Ngike ngalala emeneni, kutowatingela.Futsi liyinkhosi yetilwane, futsi, uma lelobhubesi libhodla,ngisho nemabhungane ayayekela kumpompoloza, yonkheintfo iyenta. Bo—bonkalwane neti—netimphisi tiklabalaza,naletinye tilwane, nekunswininita kwetimfene netingobiyane,emabhungane, kungaba lukhuni kutsi utive ucabanga; kodvwaebangeni ake kubhodle libhubesi, futsi lonkhe libhunganelitawuyekela kumpompoloza. Niyabona, yonkhe intfo iyalesaba.Nomakunjalo, tinengi tintfo letingalibulala, kodvwa latiwanjengenkhosi phakatsi kwetilwane.33 Watsi, “Uma libhubesi libhodla, ngubani longanokwesabana?” Watsi, “Manje-ke Nkulunkulu sewukhulumile, ngubanilongayikuprofetha na?”34 Futsi loko kukutsi, ngiyacabanga, simo sihlangabetananaleyonsayela futsi namuhla. Nkulunkulu ukhulumile.Niyabona? Futsi sibona sandla lesibhala elubondzeni,ngako kulula kabi kuprofetha nekubona kutsi sisesikhatsinisekugcina.35 Futsi sibona Nkulunkulu, kuto tonkhe tigaba temahlelo,kusukela le ebuKhatholikeni, kuwo onkhe emabandlaemaprotestane, boBhuda nalamanye, kusukela eNdiya, nanomayini lokunye. Ubita bantfu baKhe ndzawonye, ababutselandzawonye. Futsi ngi—ngijabule kakhulu ngaloko, kubonalolusuku luta. Manje si…Lu—lusuku lolukhulu, lenyeyetinhlanhla letinkhulu.36 Loko, uma bengingakwenta, kube bengati ngaphambikwekutsi kubekhona live, ngesikhatsi siseyimiphefumuloincenye yaNkulunkulu, kutsi singiyo, ngoba besinaYengaphambi kwetisekelo temhlaba. Ngoba, sinye kuphela simosekuPhila lokuPhakadze, futsi loyo nguNkulunkulu. Futsisiyincenye yaKhe.

Ngoba, siyincenye yaKhe,njengendvodzana yami iyincenye yami, nami ngiyincenyeyababe wami, kanjalonjalo. Singemadvodzana nemadvodzakatiaNkulunkulu, ngekwati kwaKhe ngaphambili.37 Futsi emuva lapho, kube bengati njengoba ngati manje, futsingakwati kubuka lonkhe libanga lesikhatsi, futsi Bekayawutsikimi, “Ngusiphi sikhatsi lofuna kuphila kuso na?” Bengiyosho


kutsi lesikhatsi lesi khona manje, ngaphambidlana njekwe—kwekuphela kwemlandvo welive, nekufika kweMbusowaNkulunkulu kutsi wakhiwe emhlabeni. Ngicabanga kutsisikhatsi lesiyinkhatimulo kakhulu kunayo yonkhe iminyaka,kumanje.38 Siyatfola lapha kutsi Israyeli utfweswa licala ngumprofethi,ngesikhatsi Nkulunkulu bekamgcobile futsi wamtfumela,batfweswa licala letono letimbili letinkhulu. Futsi sifunakukhuluma ngaletotintfo letimbili lababetentile. Futsi,kusukela kuloko, sifuna kuphumelela ngako. Manje, bafulatseleNkulunkulu, uMtfombo wemanti laphilako, futsi bebatigubheleimitfombo.

Wena utsi, “liGama laNkulunkulu?”42 Watsi, “Ngeta ngeliGama laBabe waMi.” Ngako ngulaphoNkulunkulu abeka khona liGama laKhe, bekukuKristu.Futsi kuKristu ngulapho sonkhe lasihlangana khonangaphansi kweNgati leyacitseka, futsi lapho sibe neyeliciniso,inhlanganyelo yeliciniso.43 Nkulunkulu wenta luhlelo lwaKhe ekucaleni, ensiminiyase-Edeni, lapho indzawo Ayohlangana khona nemuntfu,naloko bekungekho etikwekuhlakanipha kwekucondzangengcondvo; kube bekunjalo, Eva bekaselayinini impela


neluhlelo lwaKhe. Kodvwa siyati kutsi kwemukela kwakheumcondvo wekuhlakanipha kwaSathane, “Impela, Nkulunkuluangeke akwenta,” kodvwa Nkulunkulu watsi Utakwenta! Futsingako-ke Wakhetsa indzawo yekuhlengwa, futsi bekungeNgati,futsi hhayi ngemcondvo wekuhlakanipha.44 Ngako-ke sishaya umoya kuphela, kodvwa nje kuyimveloyemuntfu kutsi—ukutsi bantfu batawutama kwe—kwenta loko.Kube besinesikhatsi, besingakuhlatiya kube ticucu letinengi,kodvwa angilifuni lelokinobho. Ngako sitawetama nje kukwentakube lula ngangoba kungakhonakala, “imitfombo levutako.”Futsi sitfola kutsi ngekwelucobo kwe—kwentekile futsi, kungisoimpela sitfombe salomnyaka wetfu lesiphila kuwo, sako konkhekwetama kwetfu.45 Futsi kungasiko nje kubukela phansi kuyo yonke imitamokutsi noma nguyiphi inceku yaNkulunkulu, letsintsa ngisholiGama laJesu Kristu. Ifanele ihlonishwe ngisho nangekuphatsaliGama laKhe ngenhlonipho nangekutitfoba nangenhlonipho.Netinchubo letinkhulu tebuvangeli lobundlule kulomhlaba,kanjalonjalo, kuletinsuku tekugcina, ngiyacabanga, nomakunjalo ngeke size sikhone kutfola labantfu babenhlitiyonyesite sibafake phansi kweNgati yaJesu Kristu. Leyo yindzawokuphela lesiyoba nekuphepha njalonjalo kuyo.46 Lomunye wangibita kungasiko kadzeni, abuya lenhlaeMpumalanga, futsi watsi, “Mnaketfu Branham, ngiva batsisewutfutsele e—eArizona, futsi wakhe i—indzawo khona laphongekutsi kunekuphepha.” Futsi njengoba nati kutsi loMlayetoufika kanjani, neNkhosi yangitjela kutsi bekutokwentekanieAlaska, nekutsi bekutawuba kanjani etansi kudzabulaeCalifornia, futsi kube ngaleyondlela nje. Batsi, “Manje umaloko kutamatama, nayo yonkhe intfo, iphi indzawo lephephilena?”47 Ngatsi, “Yinye indzawo lephephile lengiyatiko. LeyoikuKristu. Kulabo labakuKristu, batawu…” Ngiyo yodvwalengiyatiko.48 Manje Jeremiah bekabita, futsi, “umprofethi lokhalako.”Futsi ngoba, ngiyakholwa, loko kwenta lomprofethi akhale—akhale, ngicondze kusho njalo, bekungenca yekutsi yenaangumprofethi (neLivi leNkhosi lita kulonjalo) futsi abonabantfu balandzela emasiko abo, futsi bacabanga kutsibebalungile, futsi akukho-ndlela nhlobo yekubagucula.49 Ngoba, bebaya ngco ekutfunjweni, ngoba siyati kutsiuvuna lokutjalako, kungakhatsaleki kutsi ungubani, kutsiuyini. Futsi tsine njengesive sivunile, noma, lesikutjalile, njalo,futsi sifanele sivune. Ngiyakhuluma kusasa, iNkhosi itsandza,entsambama, ngekutsi Imihelo; futsi ngi—futsi ngiyakutsintsaloko ekhatsi lapho, kutsi ngeke siphunyule nalutfo. Sifanelesivune lesikutjalako.


50 Futsi uma Nkulunkulu angasivumela siphunyulenalokuhlaneketelwa kwebuKristu kwetfu namuhla,nekuhlaneketela bantfu kuletintfo leti lekutsiwa buKristu,njengoba uMnaketfu Moore wake washo, “Uyobophelekangekwesimilo kuvusa iSodoma neGomora, futsi acolisengekubashisa abacedze.” Kunjalo, ngoba Nkulunkulu soloulungile. Futsi lapho kungabi nebulungiswa kufike khona; ku—kufanele ebungcweleni baKhe neLivi laKhe kutsi Wenta bantfubavune labakutjalako, futsi kutomele sente loko.51 Manje caphelani bebaMshiyile, uMtfombo wemantilamanengi laphilile, futsi bebatigubhele bona imitfombo.52 Manje kungahle kube nemuntfu lotsite lapha longekeacondze kutsi umtfombo-wekutigubhela uyini. Umtfombo-wekutigubhela ulithange lelentiwe ngumuntfu lotama kutsatsaindzawo yesiyalu. Kuyintfo legujwe ngumuntfu lotsite. Futsibangakhi labawatiko kutsi umtfombo-wekutigubhela uyinina? Kuhle. Kulungile, incumbi yebantfu basemaphandlenilapha manje ekuseni. Ngako ba…Ngiyawukhumbulaumtfombo lomdzala wekutigubhela endzaweni, kutsibewubukeka kanjani, futsi bengesaba sonkhe sikhatsi kunatsakulentfo. Bekuli—lithange lelentiwe ngumuntfu. Futsi lingekenakancane kwetsenjelwe kulo. Ungeke wetsembele emtfonjeniwekutigubhela.53 Manje noma yini leyentiwa ngumuntfu ngalokwejwayelekileayisiyo lenhle kakhulu. Kodvwa nje njenge—ngeNkhosi yahlelasikhatsi e—e—ekujikeleteni kwaso, nemhlaba uphendvuka;minyaka yonkhe, njalo uma uncamula, lonkhe lilanga, mahoraonkhe, nelilanga lishona, futsi akwehluleki nakancane. Kodvwawona impela emawashi lamahle kunawo onkhe lesingawatfola,atawuhluleka imizuzu leminingi esikhatsini lesingangenyanga,akungabateki. Kodvwa, niyabona, yonkhe intfo Nkulunkululayentako iphelele, naloko lokwentiwa ngumuntfu akukapheleli.Kepha kungani nemukela lokwentiwa ngumuntfu, kube kantsiungaba nako kuphelela na?54 Bengihlala njalo ngikusho loko ngatsi tsine bantfubePentecostal. Niyabona, siyati, futsi asi—asikaphumieluhlelweni kusobala, lwaNkulunkulu, asikholwa; kodvwa futsisiyati kutsi emkhatsini wetfu sinebantfu labatama kulingisalolomunye umfo. Loko buntfu nje. Batawutama kwentaloko. Bakwenta eBhayibhelini, “Lomunye, ‘NgiwakaPawula,’‘NgiwakaSila,’” kanjalo njalo. Kodvwa ba—batama kulingiselalokwentiwa ngulomunye umuntfu noma lakwentako.55 Kodvwa kuyangani nemukela kulingisela lomunye umuntfulokungemanga, tibe tibhakabhaka tigcwele intfo yelucobo,kantsi “setsembiso senu nesebantfwana benu na”? Kunganisemukela intfo lebeyehlukile na? Kungani singatsatsasivumokholo noma umbhedesho, ibe kantsi liBhayibheli liLivi


laNkulunkulu lelimsulwa na? Kungani sitame kwengeta kulonoma sisuse kulo, ibe kantsi iNkhosi Jesu yatsi eSambulweni22:18, “Loyosusa Livi lelilodvwa kuLo, noma angete livilelilodvwa kuLo, sabelo sakhe sitawususwa eNcwadziniyekuPhila”?56 Ngesikhatsi Nkulunkulu abeka kucala luntfu ekhatsi…emhlabeni, Wabatjela baphila ngeLivi laKhe. Manje LivilaNkulunkulu linjengeluketane, nendlula nincamula esihogweningaLo; futsi luketane lalo luhle kakhulu kuphela laphoekuchumaneni kwalo libutsakatsaka kakhulu, naNkulunkuluusifuna sigcine lonkhe Livi laLo. Manje loko bekukwekucalakweliBhayibheli; kwephula nje Livi lelilodvwa, kwagcumuselaluntfu ebumnyameni bekufa.57 Jesu wefika ekhatsi neliBhayibheli, futsi Washo kutsi,“Umuntfu angeke aphile ngesinkhwa sodvwa, kepha ngalolonkhe Livi.” Hhayi nje incenye yemaVi, noma emashumilayimfica nemfica ekhulwini; kepha lonkhe Livi, njengoba njeEva naAdam bebanjalo.58 Futsi ekugcineni kweliBhayibheli, Sambulo 22:18, Washokutsi, “Loyosusa Livi kuLeli, noma angete livi lelilodvwakuLo!”59 Manje-ke sidzingelani kujova ekhatsi Lapha imibonoyalomunye umuntfu ngetintfo, ibe kantsi lona nguMbonowaNkulunkulu luCobo ngako na? Sifuna kutsatsa loko Lakusho.Kantsi futsi kulotjiwe, “Akutsi lonkhe livi lemuntfu libengemanga, nelaMi libe liCiniso.”60 Bekunguleyo indzaba ngalomprofethi. NgetinsukutaJeremiah, bekangumprofethi, bekaneLivi leNkhosi. Futsilomfo beketama kujova intfo letsite kuLo. Manje, ngekekutsembelwe kuyo. Futsi ngifanisa lamathane manjenaletinchubo leti lesitame kutitsatsa, nekutsatsa indzawo yeLivilaNkulunkulu lasekucaleni.61 Ngoba, akukho lutfo lolungatsatsa indzawo yaLo.LinguNkulunkulu. “Ekucaleni bekakhona Livi, LivibekakuNkulunkulu, Livi bekanguNkulunkulu. Livi wabayinyama wakha emkhatsini wetfu.” Futsi emaHeberu 13:8,atsi, “Unguye itolo, namuhla, naphakadze.” Singacisha kanjanisisuke kuLoko na? Kutawufanele kube liCiniso. Uhlala afananjalo. Ufana kuyo yonkhe imigomo.62 Ngulesosizatfu niLijabulela, nine maBaptistinemaMethodisti, neKhatholika nemaPresbyterian, kanjalonjalo,nijabulela loboBukhona. Ndzawanatsite, kuwe, umemukeleNkulunkulu. Mhlawumbe ngalesinye sikhatsi ngendlelayekuhlakanipha, mhlawumbe uve Emandla aNkulunkulu,futsi uyinceku yaNkulunkulu; kodvwa uma impela ungetaungene kuNkulunkulu, futsi uyicondze indzawo yakho kuYe,njengendvodzana noma indvodzakati yaNkulunkulu, nguloko


lokuletsa loyo mmangaliso lomkhulu kuwe, loyo Nkulunkululahlose kutsi ube nawo.63 Manje siyacaphela kuMarku loNgcwele, sahluko 16, Jesuakashongo kutsi, “Hambani niye eveni lonkhe, futsi—futsi—futsi nifundzise.” Watsi, “Hambani nishumayele liVangeli.”Nishumayele liVangeli, lekukutsi, nibonakalisa Emandla eMoyaloyiNgcwele! “Hambani niye eveni lonkhe, futsi nibonakaliseEmandla eMoya loyiNgcwele.”64 Ngikhuluma nalomunye umnaketfu, lomunye wabasitingetimali e…umhlangano wami eNdiya, eBombay lapho,entansi eNingizimu Afrika netindzawo letehlukene, lapho ema-missionary bekaKufundzise njengelivi noma njengemcondvowetihlakaniphi. Kodvwa ngalelinye lilanga emhlanganweni,ngesikhatsi uMoya loyiNgcwele wehla, lucobo lwaWo, futsiwasindzisa tinkhulungwane letingemashumi lamatsatfu ebantfubemdzabu betingubo ekubitelweni e-altari lokukodvwa, futsikhona enkundleni lefanako lapho bebeme khona. Besifazanebeme lapho, lebebakadze bangcunu cishe impela nje njengobabebanjalo ngesikhatsi befika eveni, futsi ngawo impelalowomzuzu labaphakamisa ngawo tandla tabo kutsi bemukeleKristu…65 NeMoya loyiNgcwele wehlela etikwaleyondzawo futsiwaphilisa bantfu labatinkhulungwane letingemashumi lamabilinesihlanu ngesikhatsi sinye, besuka kuma-wheelchair,etipontjini nasetinhlakeni. Imeya yelidolobha yaba nami,ngelilanga lelilandzelako, sibuka lemitfwalo yemaveni ehlangesitaladi.66 Labo besifazane beme lapho, bangcunu, bangati kutsibebangcunu. Kodvwa kwatsi nje lapho uMoya loyiNgcweleungashaya kubo, bagoca imikhono yabo kutsi basuke bahambeebukhoneni bemadvodza akubo.67 Futsi ngiyamangala kutsi kukanjani kutsi tsineeAmerica sitibita ngesive semaKristu, futsi eBukhonenibaNkulunkulu; futsi njalo ngemnyaka tsine, besifazanebantfu, bakhumula letinengi. Futsi bekufanele ngabenembatsa letinengi. Nalokunengi kwaKristu lenikwembatsako,ngulapho nitawuba nalomnengi nembeza wetimo tenu lucobo.Ngalesinye sikhatsi ngibona indlela bantfu labatiphatsa ngayoesitaladini, ngiyamangala kutsi ngabe kuyaphileka yini kahleengcondvweni. Kubonakala shengatsi abacondzi kutsi umabenta loko, labakwentako, batenta bona lucobo inkoyoyoyadevili, nekutfumela imiphefumulo esihogweni. Kunjalo.Kodvwa umhlaba usekonakaleni njengoba lalinjalo ngetinsukutaJeremiah.68 Manje akesibuyele emtfonjeni wekutigubhela. Manje,lomtfombo-wekutigubhela ngeke kwetsembelwe kuwo ngobaungeke utigcwalise wona ngekwawo. Futsi utomele wetsembele


etimvuleni tendzawo kutsi tiwugcwalise, timvula tendzawonoma timvuselelo tendzawo, kuba nemvuselelo lencanelapha nemvuselelo lencane laphaya, kumbe lokunjalo, kutsitiwugcwalise nswi. Ngako ke ngeke kwetsenjelwa kuwo. Ungekeutigcwalise wona. Unekungeneli, kuwo lucobo. Ungeke ukhone.Futsi ufanele wetsembele etimvuleni, kuwugcwalisa.69 Manje-ke ake sicaphele lapho u—utfola khona imvula yawo,lapho utfola khona emanti awo, umtfombo-wekutigubhela.Yehla ivela etulu engcongwaneni yetinyango, emahhoko,lapho konkhe kungcola lutfuli lolukuphephukako etulu lapho,kuwashekela emvuleni ngco, futsi kwehlele ngco emitfonjeniyekutigubhela, lithange lelentiwe ngumuntfu. Kugucukacishe kube njengesitiba salokungcolile. Futsi igeza kusukaengcongwaneni yenyango lapho tonkhe tilwane, kweliphungaletinyango, kanjalonjalo, bese kwehlela phansi. Futsi umoyauphephulela ekhatsi lu—lutfuli netintfo enyangweni, bese kutsi-ke imvula yendzawo ifike bese iyakuwasha, imvula, ikususe.70 Bese kutsi-ke emanti ahambe ngemsele lowentiwengumuntfu endlule ephayiphini lelentiwe ngumuntfu, ayeethangeni lelentiwe ngumuntfu. Bese-ke atsi uma afikalapho, angcolile, angcole kakhulu ngangekutsi kutofaneleubeke indvwangu lesisefo kuwo, noma ngaphandle kwalokongeke uwanatse. Manje, niyabona, kuwasheka kusukaeluphahleni, ngemsele lowentiwe ngumuntfu, liphayiphilelentiwe ngumuntfu, ayongena ethangeni lelentiwe ngumuntfu.Bese kutsi-ke wona nesisefo lesentiwe ngumuntfu ngetuluetikwawo, kubona kutsi lamanye alamabhungane netilokatanaatingeni.71 Manje, manje siyacaphela, kuleti, tinsuku letimbalwaemvakwekutsi emanti ahleti lapho, kulokuhlela lokwentiwengumuntfu-…, noma, lithange. Ngiyacolisa. Ngiyacolisa.Kulungile. Emvakwekutsi seku—emvakwekutsi sekuwashekile,kutotonkhe tinhlobo temasayensi etenkholo netintfosekuwasheke tangena kuwo; manje site satfola kutsi, uma ahlalalapho tinsuku letimbalwa, abese ema ndzawonye.72 Futsi noma ngubani uyati, emlandvweni welibandla,ngesikhatsi Nkulunkulu atfumela intfo letsite, umlayeto, futsikuba ngulokusha sha lokuvela kuNkulunkulu, khona-ke emvakwe—kwekuphila kwaloyomcambi (noma kungaba yini, nimbitangekutsi ngumguculi, noma ngabe yini lenifuna kuyibita ngako),emva kwekufa kwakhe, khona-ke batfola inchubo lesetjentiwebese benta inhlangano. Futsi nje bangase bente inhlanganokuloko, ifa khona lapho. Ayiphindzi ivuke futsi. Ikwentile ngasosonkhe sikhatsi, emuva, kuyotsi ngcu emuva.73 Ekunakeni lompristi loliKhatholika lohleti lapha;ngesikhatsi Nkulunkulu ahlela libandla…noma, hhayikulihlela, Nkulunkulu akatange ahlele libandla. Akekho


kulololuhlobo lwemsebenti. Usekutaleni, hhayi inhlangano.Ngako-ke, ngesikhatsi Nkulunkulu acala libandla ngeluSukulwePhentekosti. Futsi kwase kutsi-ke ekugcineni entansieNicaea, eRoma, balihlela, futsi ngulapho lalahlekelwa khonangeMandla alo.74 Manje-ke sehlela engucukweni yemaLuthela, futsibekuyintfo lenkhulu. Livi laNkulunkulu lanikwa, “Labalungilebatawuphila ngekukholwa.” Futsi ngesikhatsi benta,esikhundleni sekubutsa, bonkhe ndzawonye, bonkhebandzawonye futsi bamasha baya phambili, benta libandlalemaLuthela, batehlukanisa nalelicembu, lase liyafa-ke.75 Wase-ke Nkulunkulu uvusa John Wesley, nekungcweliswa,umlayeto wemsebenti wesibili wemusa, futsi bekuyintfolesimangaliso. Kodvwa emva kwaWesley naAsbury, balihlela,lafa.76 Kwase-ke kuchamuka emaPentecostal nekubuyiselwakwetiphiwo. Bebenta kahle, kwentekani na? Alihlela futsi lafa.Kona impela nje.77 Manje emkhatsini wako konkhe loku, Nkulunkulu usoloabita insali kubo bonkhe baletotitukulwane. Wentanjalo impela.Futsi sikhatsi setfu sekuphuma, sekubutsana ndzawonye.Futsi nguloko lengikucabangako, iFull Gospel Business Menidlale indzima lenkhulu ngekubhidlita letindvonga, nekushokutsi, “Awukho umehluko kitsi. Asesihlangane ndzawonyefutsi sikhonte Nkulunkulu phansi kwemgomo munye, hhayiphansi kwenhlangano.” Kube bekuyinhlangano, bengitosukakulomsamo khonamanje. Angitihlanganisi ngalutfo nayo.78 Lokungiko, kufanele kube yinhlanganyelo, futsi hhayiinhlanganyelo yesivumokholo lesitsite, kodvwa inhlanganyelokuKristu, ngemandla ekuvuka kwaKhe. Nguleyo intfo leletsakuPhila, iletsa kutalwa.79 Futsi ngaphambi kwekutsi kutala kukhone kufika,siyacondza kutsi kufanele kube nekufa ngaphambi kwekutala.Futsi kutala kuyinyakanyaka, angikhatsali kutsi luhloboluni lwekutala lekungilo. Uma kusehhokweni letingulube,noma—noma ngabe ngukuphi, kuyinyakanyaka. Futsikunjalo nekuTalwa kabusha, kukwenta wente tintfongalokwejwayelekile lebewungeke ucabange kutsi ungatenta.Kodvwa uma sewulungele kufa kuwe lucobo, lapho-ke utalwakabusha, sidalwa lesisha kuKristu Jesu, bese-ke tintfo,tiyavuleka nekuphila kuba kubona lokusha kuwe, ngobasewemukele buNtfu baJesu Kristu, futsi hhayi inchazeloyemcabango lotsite nje noma sivumokholo lesitsite.80 Noma, ngisho naseVini lelibhaliwe, Litawumele liphiliswenguMoya loyiNgcwele. Akunandzaba kutsi unesayensiyetenkholo lenengi kangakanani, ilele lapho ifile. Bengingabanakolo logcwala sandla; ingakangeni ekuchubekeni lapho


ingaphiliswa khona, lokolo angeke uze uphile. Futsi ungabaneticu tebudokotela, iPh., LL., noma yini loyifisako; kodvwaungakate wefika kuloko uMoya loyiNgcwele akuphilise kuwe,njengesehlakalo lesicondzene nawe naNkulunkulu, lapho-kekolo akasiti ngalutfo. Kufundza kwakho kulite.81 NjengaleliNgisi lelatsi ngalobunye busuku lapha,ngamangala kakhulu ngaloko. Konkhe lokufundza bekanako,njengaPawula, kwambita kutsi akhohlwe konkhe lebekakwati,kute atfole Kristu, wenta tintfo bekangacabangi kutsiangatenta.82 Kodvwa nguleyondlela Nkulunkulu lenta ngayo, Uyasehlisaenchubeni yetfu yemfundvo. Kungasiko kutsi ngitamakwesekela kungati, kodvwa ngitama kunitjela umehluko.Imfundvo ingeke nakancane iletse kuPhila. Kutsatsa uMoyawaNkulunkulu kuletsa kuPhila, naloko kuPhila akufanele njekuvele emvuselelweni yekuhlakanipha. Kufanele kuphumeeBhayibhelini, imvuselelo yeLivi, naleloLivi lingilo itolo,namuhla, naphakadze. Futsi uma Lehla namuhla, futsi liphilisa,utfola imiphumela lefanako njengoba wenta kuTento 2. Impela.Belihlala njalo linjalo, futsi liyohlala njalo linjalo, ngobanguMoyawaNkulunkulu lowenta timo tendzawo tintjiintje.83 Kutsatsa kuntjintja kwesimo kwenta tintfo. Ngulesosizatfunine madvodza nihlala njalo nifundziswa, “Letsani bantfwanabenu lapha.” Awu, impela loko kunjalo. Ngijabulilekubona indvodzakati yami, Rebekah, angena futsi ahlalaphansi, emizuzwini lembalwa nje leyendlulile. Labanyebenu bangibonile ngificela umuntfu wesifazane liso,bekuyindvodzakati yami, manje-ke iyangena yase ihlala phansi.Ngifuna yemukele umbhabhatiso weMoya, futsi kungako ilaphaemhlanganweni. Nguleyo-ke inhloso yako. Kutsatsa simosendzawo.84 NjengaDokotela Bosworth lomdzala bekavame kutsi,“Ungatsatsa licandza lesikhukhukati bese ulifaka phansikwemdlwane, litawuchobosela lintjwele.” Ngani na? Ngobalicandza futsi linesimo lesikahle sendzawo.85 Angikhatsali uma uyiMethodisti, iBaptisti, iPresbyterian;esimweni lesikahle sendzawo, itawuchobosela umntfwanawaNkulunkulu lotelwe kabusha. Ngulesimo sendzawolesikwentako, akunandzaba kutsi unasigcebhezana siniselihlelo.86 Bengivame kwelusa tinkhomo. Ngangicaphela umphatsiwelipulazi uma sitenyusela ehlatsini, tiphuma e—tiphumaetindzaweni tekutiphakela entansi emapulazini etinkomo,bese sitibeka ehlatsini. Bekema lapho futsi abukisise laphotendlula egedeni, elutsangweni. Bekanganaki kakhulu kangakotimphawu, ngoba bekunetinhlobonhlobo tonkhe tetimphawulebetendlula lapho. Kodvwa yinye intfo lebekayicaphela, licici


elichaza luhlobo lwengati. Bekufanele kube yiHereford yelucobonoma uma kungenjalo beyingeke ichubekele kulelohlatsi,ngoba yiNhlangano yebafuyi bemaHereford ledlisa kulelohlatsi.Ifanele ibe nelicici lelichaza luhlobo lwengati, kugcina luhlobolwekutalana lukahle.87 Futsi ngicabanga kutsi nguleyondlela lekuyobangayo ngeluSuku lekwaHlulela. Angeke angibute kutsibengiyiMethodisti, iBaptisti, iPentecostal, noma iPresbyterian,kodvwa Utawufuna licici lweluhlobo lweNgati. “Uma NgibonaiNgati Ngitakwendlula kini.” Nguleyontfo.88 Ngako-ke sitfola kutsi lemitfombo yekutigubhela,emvakwekuhlala sikhashanyana phansi athulele, iba…iba ngemanti lamile futsi akalungi. Futsi kuba-ke, futsi,kuba likhaya leticoco nemigololo netinyoka nemabhunganenemagciwane, nanoma yini lokunye, ngoba simo semanti lamilelafucelwe kuwo. Ungake ucabange nje, kuwasheka lokusukaeluphahleni lwenyango, noma kusuka endlini lesondzeleenyangweni, noma kukuphi lapho kungcola kungabakhona,hlobo luni lwemabhungane nemagciwane, nayo yonkhe intfo,lewasheka ingene kulomtfombo-wekutigubhela na?89 Manje, sibonelo lesiphelele sanoma nguluphi luhlobolwenchubo leyentiwe ngumuntfu. Usehluleki, kwasekucaleninje. Ngulesosizatfu adzinga uMsindzisi. Bekangenakutisindzisayena, angeke ente lutfo ngako. Ulahlekile, kwasekucaleni nje.Utalelwe eveni, anesono, ufika emhlabeni akhuluma emanga.Ungumcambimanga, kwekucala nje, ngako-ke kungentekakanjani eveni kutsi atentele noma yini na? Ingakwenta kanjaniindvodza lengcwele na?90 Akukho-ndvodza lengcwele. Alikho libandla lelingcwele.NguMoya loNgcwele! Hhayi libandla lelingcwele, hhayibantfu labangcwele; nguMoya loNgcwele emkhatsini webantfu,nguloko-ke. Ameni. Hhayi intsaba lengcwele lapho Petronabo bema khona; intsaba beyingasiyo ngcwele. KodvwanguNkulunkulu longcwele, entsabeni, loko kwayentayabangcwele. Hhayi umuntfu longcwele; nguMoya loNgcweleusetjentiswa kuloyomuntfu, lekukwenta kube ngcwele. Hhayilomuntfu; kodvwa uMuntfu waMoya loNgcwele! Akusuyeumuntfu; ngoba, ungumuntfu nje, “lotelwe esonweni, wabunjwaebubini, weta emhlabeni akhuluma emanga.”91 Noma nguyiphi inchubo leyentiwe ngumuntfu itamgcinangco kuloko. Utayimphumphutsekisa lentfo kulohlakaniphile,emehlo lahlakaniphile, kutsi bayacabanga, “Ngiwasebandleni,ligama lami lisencwadzini. Ngente loku. Babe wami bekanguloku, kanjalonjalo.” Loko kuvakala kahle; lekukutsi, kunjalo,akukho lokungashiwo lokumelene nako. Kodvwa noma kunjalo,mngani, Jesu watsi, “Uma umuntfu angakatalwa kabusha,angeke ngisho abone,” kubona, lapho, akusho kutsi ubona


ngemehlo akhe, kodvwa, “acondze uMbuso weliZulu.” Uteutalwe ngekhatsi!92 Abengakwenta kanjani lomvangeli loyiBaptisti,beyingakwenta kanjani leyandvodza leyema lapho yagceka yaseihlekisa ngaKo na? Niyabona, akunalutfo kuyo lobelungatengisho luKwemukele; kodvwa Nkulunkulu wadzingekaakwente, niyabona. Nkulunkulu wamnika uMoya loyiNgcwele.Wabonakalisa kutsi loku bekungasiko kutentisa, leli liVi.Ikuva kuphela emcondvweni wesikolwa, futsi batama kutsatsatonkhe ti—tibusiso taNkulunkulu bese bakubeka elusukwinilolwendlula.93 Umshumayeli loyiBaptisti losemncane, lapha kungesikokadzeni, ahleti ukhona khona lapha manje ekuseni; futsi wetakimi, wase utsi, “Mnaketfu Branham, yinye intfo loyentakolengakalungi.”

Ngatsi, “Ngisite.”94 Wase utsi, “Wena u, ngicabanga kutsi ucotfo futsiungumuntfu lolungile, kodvwa…”

Ngatsi, “Ngiyabonga, mnumzane.”Watsi, “Kodvwa yinye intfo loyentako lengakalungi.”Ngatsi, “Ngitsemba kutsi iNkhosi itfola intfo yinye nje

lengakalungi.”95 Wase utsi, “Awu, kukhona…Nguloku lokwentakolokungakalungi.” Watsi, “Utama kuveta eveni inkonzoyebapostoli, futsi,” watsi, “inkonzo yebapostoli yaphela kanyenebapostoli.”96 Ngatsi, “NjengeBaptisti kuBaptisti, ngitsandza kukubutaumbuto.”

Watsi, “Ini?”97 Ngatsi, “Uyakholwa kutsi Livi laNkulunkululiphefumulelwe, konkhe nalokuncane kwaLo na?”

Watsi, “Ngani, impela.”98 Ngatsi, “Manje-ke, Watsi, ‘Ungangeti nalelilodvwalivi, noma utsatse leliLodvwa.’ Ngoba,” ngatsi manje-ke,“Ngitakutjengisa lapho siBusiso sebapostoli sifika khonakubantfu, ngesetsembiso saNkulunkulu, manje ngitjengisesetsembiso saNkulunkulu nekutsi sabese sisuka nini kubantfu.Uyabona, uma ungeke ukuvete loko eVini, ngako-ke—ngako-kekhohlwa ngiko, uyabona,” ngatsi, “ngoba Sisachubeka.”99 Akatange asho lutfo imizuzu lembalwa. Futsi ngako-ke ngatsi, “Awu, manje-ke, mnaketfu, ngitsandza kukubutaloku. Petro wetfula umlayeto webapostoli, ngeluSukulwePhentekosti. Futsi sonkhe siyati loko kuliciniso, ngobabekanetikhiya kuwo uMbuso, Jesu lebekamnike tona. Futsimanje bhekisisa kutsi watsini. Watsi, ‘Phendvukani, nguloyo


naloyo, abhabhatiswe eGameni laJesuKristu kuko kutsetselelwakwetono, khona nitakwemukeliswa siphiwo saMoya loNgcwele.Ngoba setsembiso senu, nesebantfwana benu, nesalabobonkhe lokhashane, nabo bonkhe iNkhosi Nkulunkulu wetfuletababita.’ Manje-ke uma kukhona indzawo lapho Akukhiphakhona, manje-ke kwentekani emagameni aPetro ngeluSukulwePhentekosti na?”Niyabona? Cha, akukate kuphele!

Ngiyohlabela Emandla aKho ekusindzisa,Uma lolu loluthithitako loluphuyile, lulimilolungingitako

Lulala luthule ethuneni.100 Nkulunkulu ngisite kutsi ngikukholwe Loko futsingibambelele kuKo, natsi sonkhe, futsi sime ngaKo, ngobaKuliCiniso leliVangeli! Yebo, mnumzane.101 Indvodza lehlakaniphile ayikafaneli nakancane ibukeletintfo leti. Futsi yati kutsi ngeke tisebente. Atikaze tisebente.Inkholo lehleliwe nesehlakalo lesihleliwe kungeke kusebenteeBukhoneni baNkulunkulu. Kumele kufike, kumsulwa, kubuyakuNkulunkulu. Ayikate isebentiswe nguNkulunkulu, akukhosikhatsi kulesendlulile lapho Nkulunkulu ake wasebentisakhona inchubo lenjalo. Manje nine, o, nitfola emalunganetintfo letinjalo. Kodvwa ngicondze imbewu yaNkulunkuluyelucobo, siBusiso njengalesehla ngeluSuku lwePhentekosti,asiti ngenhlangano; sita ngekutalwa, ngekukutalwa kabusha.102 Simenywa kutsi sitsatse Israyeli abe—abe sibonelo,lebebasolo bangiso. Caphelani, “Bamshiyile Yena, umtfombowabo lebaphiwewona, futsi batigubhele imitfombo yabo.”Ungake uyicabange nje i—i—i—intfo, uma indvodza isemtfonjenilosiyalu, inatsa, bese-ke ifuna kutentela umtfombo-wekutigubhela, niyabona, kunatsa kuwo na? Manje ngulokoumprofethi lakusho, nguloko Livi laNkulunkulu lelakusho.Nguloko Nkulunkulu lakusho kumprofethi. “NingishiyileMine futsi—futsi naNgiyekela, Umtfombo wemanti lamanengilaphilile; futsi watigubhela imitfombo, leyephukile, futsiiyavuta.”103 Niyabona, intfo letsite, bebafuna intfo letsitelebebangayilawula, noma kutjengisa lababekwentile. Lobobu—lobo buwula benkholo lehleliwe. Ihlala njalo yetama,batawufanele babe nentfo letsite kuyo lucobo lwabo. Kufanele


babenato tonkhe letinchubo leti nemiphakatsi, netintfo, “Futsisengiwa lena manje.” Esikhundleni nje sekuba bantfwanabaNkulunkulu labatfobekile, bafuna intfo lebangatikhombisabona lucobo. Esikhundleni sekuvumela Nkulunkulu akwentengendlela yaKhe, bebafuna kukwenta ngeyabo indlela. Futsinguleyondlela tinchubo letitfole ngayo libandla namuhla.Hhayi…Inchubo ngayinye, lomunye ukufuna kube nga lenandlela, lomunye ukufuna nga leya ndlela. Uma uyiMethodisti,umele ube ngiko nga lena ndlela. IBaptisti, nga lenandlela. IPresbyterian, iKhatholika, noma ngukuphi lokunye,banetinchubo tabo. Akumelwana ngalutfo naloko, kodvwa lokoakusiko loku lengikhuluma ngako.104 Umuntfu ufuna indlela yakhe yekukwenta, naNkulunkuluunendlela yaKhe yekukwenta. Futsi Watsi, “Nibambeleleendleleni yenu, umtfombo lovutako; futsi aniyemukeli indlelayaMi, indlela yekuPhila.”105 Futsi leyo yintfo lefanako njengoba injalo namuhla.Ayikehluki nje nakancane. Cabangani kutsi kubuwulalobunjani bendvodza ishiya umtfombo losiyalu semantilahlobile lahlantekile lagobhotako, bese-ke ifuna kuyaemtfonjeni lovutako latentele wona, bese itigubhela umtfombo,naleyonkhukhuma lelapha etulu enyangweni iwashekelakuwo, bese-ke inatsa kuloyo. Lapho impela kunekungalungingekwengcondvo kuloyomuntfu.106 Futsi uma indvodza itawunamatsela e—emcondvweniwebufundisi ngemBhalo, esikhundleni sekwemukela uMoyaloNgcwele locinisekisa umBhalo futsi uWente ube ngiwo impelakuwe, kukhona lokungakalungi ngakutakamoya kuloyomuntfu.Kunjalo impela. Impela, uMoya loNgcwele! Ngamunyeunekuhumusha kweliBhayibheli labo, lenicabanga kutsikulungile. Nkulunkulu akaludzingi lusito lwenu. Nkulunkuluakakudzingi kuhumusha kwenu.107 Nkulunkulu unguMhumushi waKhe Yena. Nkulunkuluwenta kuhumusha ngendlela La—ngendlela Latsi Utakwentangayo. INkhosi yatsi ekucaleni, “Akube khona kukhanya,” futsikwabakhona kukhanya. Loko akudzingi kuhunyushwa. NgulokoNkulunkulu lakwenta. Watsi “intfombi iyokhulelwa,” wentanjalo. Loko akudzingi sakuhunyushwa. Watsi Utawu “tfululauMoya waKhe etikwayo yonkhe inyama,” Wakwenta. Akudzingisakuhunyushwa. Nkulunkulu uhumusha Livi laKhe luCobongekuLicinisekisa, nekuLibonakalisa, nekuLifakazela.108 Nguleyondlela bekafakazelwa ngayo umprofethi kutsiwaNkulunkulu. Watsi, “Uma akhona emkhatsini wenu,lokumoya noma umprofethi, Mine iNkhosi Ngitawutatisakuye ngemibono, ngikhulume kuye ngemaphupho. Futsiuma lakushoko kwenteka, lapho-ke mesabeni; kodvwa umakungenteki, ningakwenti.”


109 Leyo yintfo lefanako umaNkulunkulu akhulumaLivi laKhe,futsi lendvodza itsi, “LeLivi lingu Loku,” futsi kwentekengaleyondlela, lapho-ke nguNkulunkulu lokwentako.110 Kodvwa uma atsi, “Kunga lena ndlela, futsi netinsukutihambile,” kungani kutsatsa yonkhe i…Ufinyelela esinkhwenisekulamba, esandleni sakhe, siye kubantfwana, bese uyabemukasona; bese bona babulawa yindlala. Kungani nifune kunatsaemtfonjeni-wekutigubhela ube lomtfombo losiyalu ukhona na?111 Uyini umtfombo wekuPhila manje na? Yini umtfombowekuPhila, umtfombo weManti lamanengi laphilile na?Umtfombo losiyalu, sitakufananisa naWo.112 Manje ngifuna nicaphele umehluko emkhatsini wemtfombo-wekutigubhela nemtfombo wemanti laphilile; umtfombolosiyalu, nemtfombo lovutako lomdzala ngephandle laphougcwele emabhungane, imigololo, ticoco, emagciwane, nanomayini lokunye, niyabona.113 Futsi nangu umtfombo losiyalu. Manje bhekisisani loku.Utondla wona. Awudzingi kutsi utfole noma ngutiphi tinchuboletinkhulu futsi ungenise incumbi yemali kuwo. Awudzingi kutsiujoyinise incumbi yemalunga. Wondla emalunga awo, kweMoyawekuPhila lokuwo, usebenta.114 Caphelani emanti laphuma kuwo, akonakali, ahlobilefutsi ahlantekile. Hhayi umtfombo-wekutigubhela, intfoletsite lemile lehlohlwe ngetincwadzi letingemashumi lamane,imicondvo leyehlukene lengemashumi lasihlanu, itsi, “Lokukulungile, na loko kulungile, na lona umcondvo,” futsi bavotefutsi babite, futsi basenta, bese-ke benta lihlelo ngako. Uhlobilefutsi uhlantekile, Livi laNkulunkulu lelimsulwa, livela esandlenisaNkulunkulu. Ngumtfombo losiyalu mbamba.115 Caphelani, imfihlo yemandla awo isekhatsi kwawo lucobo.Umuntfu angeke sekawatfole. Luhlobo lolutsite lwemfutfo,ngephansi kwawo, lowenta ufucele etulu.116 Ngiyakhumbula ngesikhatsi mine, bengivame ku,bengingugadzi welipulazi letinyamatane lahulumendewaseIndiana, bengivame kwendlula ngakhona, eHarrisonCounty, umtfombo lotsite, siyalu. Besihlala njalo sigobhota.Futsi nje, o, bekubukeka kwangatsi yintfo lejabule kakhulu.Noma ngabe lichwa belisemhlabatsini, sitfwatfwa, wawulitjelemakhata, kutsi kwakubandza kangakanani, sasisolosigobhota; lapho tinkelebha letindzala nemathange lokwentiwengumuntfu, kuneticoco nayo yonkhe intfo, kwakungephandlelapho kugongobele makhata ngetulu, kucinile.117 Futsi loko kukhombisa kutsi noma nguliphi lihlelo,ngekuswela uMoya kancane noma kuntjintja lokuncanekwesimo sendzawo, litawugongobala ngemakhata. Kodvwaumtfombo losiyalu waNkulunkulu, Nguye—uNguye itolo,namuhla, naphakadze, ugcina tonkhe tintfo tigobhota kuwo


futsi tishoveka tiphume kuwo. Futsi akukho lutfo lapho ekhatsi,kwekucala nje. Futsi noma yini lengena kuwo, utakufucakuphume endleleni.118 Leyontfo beyigobhota iya etulu kanjalo, ngase ngitsi,ngahlala phansi lapho ngalelinye lilanga, ngacabanga,“Ngikholwa kutsi ngitawukhuluma ngalesosiyalu, umzuzwananje.” Ngakhumula sigcoko sami, ngase ngitsi, “Ujabuliswe yinikangaka na? Ugobhotelani kangaka na? Mhlawumbe kungobatindluzela tinatsa kuwe, kanye emvakwelichi.”

Kube bewungakhuluma, bewungatsi, “Cha.”Ngatsi, “Mhlawumbe kungenca yekutsi nginatsa kuwe.”“Cha, loko akusiko.”

119 Ngatsi, “Awu, yini lekwenta uhlobe kangaka, uhlantekekangaka na? Ngako yini—yini leyo legobhotako, lekwentaugobhote, ugcwale injabulo ngaso sonkhe sikhatsi, futsi ayikhointfo lengakwenta ugongobale ngemakhata na?

Bewungatsi, “Mnaketfu Branham,akusimi lelengigobhotako, yintfo letsite lesemvakwami,lengigobhotisako.” Futsi nguleyondlela lekungayo…Leloligama lelingasile, kodvwa niyati kutsi ngicondze kutsini.121 Futsi nguleyondlela lekungayo ngesehlakalo sekutalwakabusha. Ungeke utibambe. Ngu—ngumtfombo wemantingekhatsi kuwe, ugobhotela ekuPhileni lokungunaphakadze.Niyabona, kukhona lokutsite ngako, longangenelani ngalutfonako. Emathange lentiwe ngumuntfu angagongobala makhata,nabo bancusa imvuselelo nayo yonkhe intfo; kodvwa umuntfulongaphansi kwalowoMtfombo, ahlala kulowoMtfombo, yimininebusuku!

EmaHeberu 13ayakufakaza loku, kutsi Nguye itolo, namuhla, naphakadze.Ngako kwe—kwenta kube liciniso, Johane 3:16, “NgobaNkulunkulu walitsandza live kangaka, Wate wanikelangeNdvodzana yaKhe letelwe yodvwa, kutsi nguloyonaloyo lokholwa ngiYo angabhubhi, kepha abe nekuPhilalokungunaphakadze.”155 Futsi kwaphakamiswa ngesizatfu lesimphacambili, ngobabantfu bebakhonona futsi bona, futsi bebalunywa tinyoka futsibebafa; nangekutsetselelwa kwabo kwetono tabo, nekuphiliswakwekugula kwabo.156 Futsi ngulowoMtfombo lofanako lovulelwe tsine namuhla,kwentelwa insindziso yetfu nekuphiliswa kwetfu, kuphiliswakwemtimba. “NgobaNguye itolo, namuhla, naphakadze.”157 Futsi ngesikhatsi leliDvwala lelashaywa ngeLivilaNkulunkulu leletsembisiwe, beliyaliwe, Belikhipha libhudlolemanti lahlobile lahlantekile; hhayi—hhayi lamile, hhayilonakele, kodvwa Bukhona baNkulunkulu luCobo. Emantilahlobile, futsi asindzisa bonkhe labanatsa. Manje siyati kutsiloko kuliciniso, ngoba siyakufundza eThestamenteni leLidzala,njengemfanekiso.158 Manje, bewungadzingi kutsi uwadvonse, uwapompe,uwajoyine, uyongena kusemina kutsi ufundze kutsi asebentiswakanjani. Batakutjela kutsi asetjentiswa kanjani lapho,


niyabona, “O, yebo-ke, wena, uma wemukele uMoya loNgcwele,siyakukholwa loko, kodvwa-ke u—ukwente nga lena indlela.”159 Kodvwa, niyabona, akukho kulawulwa kwawo.Awusebentisi uMoya loyiNgcwele; uMoya loyiNgcweleusebentisa wena, niyabona. Niyabona, aninjalo,aninakusebentisa uMoya loyiNgcwele; uMoya loyiNgcweleutfole nine. Siphiwo asisiyo intfo loyitsatsako, njengemukhwa,bese ulota ipeniseli ngawo. Kukutinikela kwakho lucobokuNkulunkulu, nekutikhipha wena endleleni kuze uMoyaloyiNgcwele ukhone kukusebentisa.160 Caphelani, bebangadzingi nakancane kutsi bawapompenoma bawadvonse, noma bebangadzingeki nakancane kutsibabute, “Manje siwasebentisa kanjani lamanti na?” Ngoba,bebati kutsi asetjentiswa kanjani. Bebomile. Bebati kutsikwentiwani ngawo.161 Futsi injalo-ke indvodza noma umfati, ini, kungakhatsalekikutsi sivumokholo sini noma lihlelo lasontsa kulo. Umaomele Nkulunkulu, akadzingeki kutsi agijime abuyele emuvakusemina, njengoba entile lomnaketfu waseSheshi, nomaumnaketfu waseBrithani, itolo ebusuku, kudzingeka abuyeleemuva futsi abute kutsi kanjani, ebandleni laseSheshi, kutsiufanele asisebentise kanjani lesiphiwo lesikhulu lanaso,kukhuluma ngetilimi, nekutsi umele akwente kanjani loku.Bebangamkhahlela bamkhiphe, kwekucala nje. Niyabona?Bekomile, ngako Nkulunkulu wavele wamgcwalisa nje. Ngulokokuphela lokukhona kuko. Koma, bese-keUyagcwalisa nje.162 Awudzingi kutsi nanomangukuphi kulawula, umuntfulotsite akutjele kutsi yenta ini ngako. Nkulunkulu uholaumuntfu ngamunye nge—ngendlela Lafuna wente ngayo.Ungu—ngumuntfu ngamunye, lucobo lwakho. UyincenyeyaNkulunkulu. Akukho-muntfu longatsatsa indzawo yakho.Futsi akukho-ndlela yekutsi ungaze uye kumuntfu lotsite,bese utsi manje, ngifanele “ngente loku ngako,” nomangimele “ngente loko ngako.” Cha, mnumzane. Nkulunkuluukusebentisa ngendlela la—Lafuna ngayo. Uma womile, watingalokwenele kunatsa.163 Futsi uma womile manje ekuseni, natsa kuWo, ngulokokuphela lewufanele ukwente. Nkulunkulu abeniketileindlela yekoma kwabo, labantfwana labomile kutsibahlanganyele ngesihle kuYe lucobo. Futsi Nkulunkulu uniketeindlela yakhe onkhe emadvodza nebafati manje ekuseni,lolambile nalowomako. Encenye kunebantfu labahleti lapha,labangakase basindziswe. Kunebantfu labahleti lapha losedvutenekusindziswa.164 Kunebantfu lapha, labahleti lapha njengemalungaelibandla, nifuna kwenta lokulungile, kodvwa ninatsaethangeni. Abayoke banitjele lamaCiniso.


165 Intfo kuphela, kuta, kutsatsa setsembiso saNkulunkulubese uta kuloyoMtfombo, khona-ke Utawubese ucedza koma.“Lonatsa kuloMtfombo akanawuphindze ome futsi.”166 Caphelani manje kutsi Wabakhulula kanjani—kanjanibaKhe—labaKhe labemukela lamanti, ngemusa, futsi hhayingenchubo noma umtfombo-wekutigubhela wemfundvo.Ucinisekisa Livi laKhe, ngumtfombo loniketa kuPhila.Bangakhi phakatsi lapha lowatiko kutsi wemukele kuPhilauma utsetse leloLivi nemanti aKhe, lowatiko nje kutsi wemukelekuPhila na? [Libandla litsi, “Ameni.”—Umhl.]167 Ake sitsatse, awu, sibonelo nje, lesinye nje sibonelo, nomaletimbili, ngitawubese-ke sengiyavala emzuzwaneni nje. Ngi—ngimele ngibe nalelokinobho ndzawanatsite. Kodvwa caphelani.Ngichubeka njalo nekukhuluma nje, kodvwa angikacondzikukwenta. Bukani, ake sitsatse sibonelo, bantfu labatsi ababebabili nje.168 Ake sitsatse lowesifazane emtfonjeni-wekutigubhelawaJakobe, umtfombo logujiwe. Nango ke ahleti lapho.Nguloko kuphela lowesifazane bekakwati, bekungulomtfombo-wekutigubhela lapho beketa khona kutokha emanti. Futsi ngalengasemtfonjeni watfola, endzaweni lencane lebonakala yonkhesikhatsi sinye lapho, iNdvodza ihleti lapho, umJuda. Futsiyena bekangumSamariya, lidolobha lase-Sychar. Futsi siyatfolakutsi leNdvodza, lomJuda, wakhuluma Livi lelingakejwayelekikulowesifazane, watsi, “Ngiphe emanti.”169 Watsi manje, “Sinekwehlukana. Aku—akukuhle kuWekutsi ungibute umbuto lonjalo; Wena ungumJuda, namingingumSamariya.”170 Watsi, “Kodvwa kube bewati kutsi Ngubani lobewukhulumanaye, bewuyocela kiMi emanti, futsi beNgiyokunikaemanti lamanengi longeke udzinge kutsi ute kulomtfombo-wekutigubhela kutowanatsa; kube ngumtfombo wemantilagobhotako kuwe.” Caphelani ngesikhatsi atfola kutsi lokukwafakazeleka kutsi kuliCiniso!171 Manje, kwekucala, noma nguyiphi indvodza beyingakusholoko. Kodvwawatsi, “Wena utsi khuleka eJerusalema, natsi tsinesikhuleka kulentsaba.”172 Watsi, “Insindziso yemaJuda. Siyakwati lesikukholwako.Kodvwa,” watsi, “ake Ngikutjele intfo yinye,” ngemagamalanjengaloku, “hhayi nakulentsaba, noma eJerusalema. Ngobasikhatsi siyeta lapho umuntfu ayokhuleka kuNkulunkulungeMoya nangeliCiniso, ngoba Babe ufuna labanjalo.” Watsi,“Hamba uyolandza indvodza yakho nite lapha.” Bhekisisani,lapha kwakufakazela. Lapha kukhombisa kutsi mtfombo munilebekakuwo. Watsi, “Hamba ulandze indvodza yakho besenita lapha.”

Watsi, “Anginandvodza.”


173 Watsi, “Usho liciniso.” Niyabona, kwabonakala kungatsibekukuphambana ngalokusobala kuloko leBekambute kona,wase utsi, “Hamba ulandze indvodza yakho.”

Watsi, “Anginandvodza.”174 Watsi, “Usho liciniso.” Watsi, “Ngoba bewunalasihlanu,nalena lohlala nayo manje akusiyo yakho.”175 Bhekisisani loyo wesifazane, kwehluke kangakananikubapristi bangalololusuku! Bapristi bangalololusuku baboneleyontfo lefanako yenteka, base batsi, “Lelo lidimoni, kufundzaumcabango, noma—noma uBelzabuli.” Niyabona, behlulekakubona Livi letsembisa loko.176 Kodvwa loyo wesifazane lomncane bekawufundze kanconokakhulu emBhalweni kunanoma ngumuphi webapristi. Watsi,“Mnumzane, ngiyabona kutsi ungumprofethi Wena. Besisolosite ngishi namunye iminyaka lengemakhulu lamane, kusukelakuMalakhi. Kodvwa,” watsi, “besimbhekile loyedvwa, futsisiyati kutsi kukhona Munye lotako, uMesiya. Futsi uma Afika,loku ngiko Lekayokwenta.”

Jesu watsi, “NginguYe.” Ameni.177 Nicaphelile, washiya libhakede lakhe emtfonjeni-wekutigubhela waJakobe, wagijimela entansi edolobheni;asagcwele umtfombo losiyalu! Bekakubonile kucinisekiswengalokuphelele, futsi BekanguloyoMtfombo wekuPhila. Akenginetfulele yena. Wawushiya loyo; ngesikhatsi Afakazelekakutsi uLivi lekuPhila. Wawushiya; futsi besatfolile kutsiliDvwala lelifanako, lelashaywa ehlane, lafakazelwa kutsi laselikhona ngalesosikhatsi.178 Ake ngisho, loyoNkulunkulu lofanako lobekakhonaetinsukwini letendlula, lesikhuluma kakhulu ngaye, Ukhonalapha manje; hhayi ngekucondza lokutsite kwesayensiyetenkholo, kodvwa ngelwati lolucondzene nemuntfulwekucinisekisa kwaKhe kutsi Bekatawutfulula ngalolu tinsukutekugcina, uMoya loyiNgcwele etikwelibandla laKhe. Akasuyeu “Benginguye.” Usolo ungu “NGINGUYE,” sikhatsi samanje,njalonjalo.179 Ngako-ke lomtfombo-wekutigubhela walahlekelwakunambitseka kwawo. Futsi wentanjalo wonkhe umuntfuloke awele emandleni aNkulunkulu, ngembhabhatiso waMoyaloNgcwele, tinchubo temahlelo tilahlekelwa kunambitsekakwato. Anisafuni lutfo lwalawo macoco lamile, nemigololo,nemabhungane, kanjalonjalo. Ninatsa eMtfonjeni longakonakalinalohlobile, Livi laNkulunkulu, lisesimenilesisha emahoraonkhe emphefumulweni wakho. Liyafana njengamanje, umaLivi selifakazelekile kutsi liliCiniso, nambitsa futsi ubone kutsialikacinisi yini.


180 Naloku lomtfombo-wekutigubhela bewuwusebentileumtfombo wawo, wasisebentisa sikhatsi sawo kahle; kodvwa,niyabona, uMtfombo wekuPhila bewulapho, akusesiwoumtfombo waJakobe, wekunatsa kamoya. Lebebakucabanga,uma bebanatse kuloyomtfombo, ngani, bekuyoba kahle; kodvwamanje uMtfombowekuPhila lucobo lwaWowawuhleti lapho.181 Manje asitidzingi tinchubo netinhlangano lesinato.Sesisesikhatsini sekugcina.

Sibona yonkhe intfo imengemumo. Manje-ke, shiyani leyonchubo bese nita eMtfonjeni.Yebo, mnumzane.182 Uyisebentile inhloso yawo, kodvwamanje bekabhekene busonebuso neMtfombo lucobo lwaWo.183 KuJohane 7:37-38, Jesu watsi ngetinsuku tekugcinangemkhosi welidvokodvo (Watsini na?), “Uma umuntfu omile,akete kiMi, futsi anatse.” Kuso impela sicuku sabosiyatibetenkholo! “Uma umuntfu omile, akete kiMi, futsi anatse.Ngoba imiBhalo itsite, etibilinini takhe kutawugeleta imifulayeManti laphilako.”184 Nankho uMtfombo lophilako.
