` Bazalwana, sibize le ntlanganiso yahlangana aphangokuhlwanje ngesizathu sokuze sazi ukuba liqhutywa

njani na iBandla likaThixo Ophilileyo, lona, sikholwayo ukubaliyinxalenye yeli Bandla.2 Ndifuna ukuthi, into yokuqala, ndifuna ukuthi kwiihambozam zokujikeleza ihlabathi, ngokokwazi kwam, le yenyeyezona ndawo zizezomoya apho uwuva khona uMoya kaThixokunayo nayiphi na enye indawo endiyaziyo. Ndazi iindawoezimbini engqondweni yam ezazikade zinjalo, kodwa ukuzakuthi ga ngoku a_akubonakali ngathi sazibona ezoo ndawo;enye yazo yaya kungena embuthweni, yaze enye ya_yabasekuweni noko.3 Ngoko benditsalelwe umnxeba izolo nda_ndaxelelwaukuba bafuna inkonzo bonke yokuze bandibuze le mibuzongokubhekiselele kwimisebenzi yenu kweli bandla, kwayendi^Nantso into endizele yona ngokuhlwanje,kukuthi^noku_nokubeka ibandla endaweni, kungenjaloukuninika izinto endicinga ukuba zi_zikoko kuyimfunekoekwakheni kwenziwe ibandla eli liqhubele phambili.4 Bazalwana, ndiqinisekile ukuba niyayiqonda eyokuba,njengoko ndiye ndaphawula malunga neli ukuba yindawoeyeyomoya. Asiyeyona ndawo inkulu ehlabathini, yayeasiyeyona ndawo sinowona mculo mkhulu, okona kukhalakukhulu, nokona kukhwaza kukhulu, okanye okona kuninziukuthetha ngeelwimi, nezinto ezinjalo, asiyiloo nto, kokolixabiso loMoya osebenza apha kulo mnquba. Kwaye, ukuzakuthi ga ngoku, ndifuna ukumncoma ndimbulele uMzalwanaNeville, kunye_kunye nani bazalwana balapha, abasayinelizimali, namadikoni, nomphathi oyintloko wesikolo seCawe,nabo bonke, ngoko_ngoko nikwenzele e_ekuncediseniukuligcina lilolu hlobo. Ibingumthandazo wam wethuba elidelowo, nomnqweno wam ndiseyinkwenkwe, ukuba ndiboneibandla libekwe kulungelelwano lagcinwa likulungelelwano.5 Ngoku, xa sasiyinikezela ngokuyisikelela inkonzo,ndanixelela, “Emva kwethutyana ndiya kuba nentoendiyakuthetha nani malunga nayo,” indlela yokubeka lentongolungelelwano, indlela emaliqhutywe ngayo. Niye naqalisake^emva kokumnka apha, besinabalungiseleli nokunjalo.Kodwa ngoku, uMzalwana Neville esengolula nje phakathikwethu, uye wangena phakathi kwethu, ndacinga ukubakuyakuba ngcono kuMzalwana Neville ukuba amiliselekengokungcono eluKholweni phambi kokuba ndizise izintoezinjengokuba ndizakwenza ngoku. Kodwa ngoku, emva

kokuba ndifumanise ukuba uya ezinza ngokungconoeluKholweni eyiqonda nento eyiyo iMfundiso, wabe edlaleinxaxheba yengqina elithembekileyo kuKristu ebambelelekoko sikholwa ukuba kuyiNyaniso, ndicinga ukuba lilixa kengoku, ingalithuba elilungileyo, lokusondela kuyekwi^naphakathi kwenu madoda amakhulu nezinto aphazebandla, ukuze nithathe olu lungelelwano nilukhumbule,kokona kungcono kolwazi lwam phambi koThixo. Yaye kendikhangele kuni ukuba niziqhube ezi zinto ngendlelaendizithetha ngayo, ngokuba kumelwe kubekho umntuoyintloko apha kule ndawo. Nimelwe kukuba nibe ne^6 Ngoku, andizami kugunyazisa nto okanye into elolo hlobo,kodwa, uyabona, umntu okanye nantoni na enentlokoezimbini, a_ayazi ukuba mayihambe njani. UThixo akazangeabe neentloko ezimbini eBandleni laKhe, akazange enze njalo,yintloko enye. Wahlala esebenza kwisizukulwana ngasinyenjengoko sifundisisileyo eZibhalweni, kuhlala kukho umntuomnye Asebenza ngaye. Ngokuba ukuba ube nabantu ababini,kuyanyanzeleka ukuba ube nembono ezimbini. Kumelwekukuba kufikwe kuqobo lokugqibelela olunye, yaye olwamuqobo liLizwi, iBhayibhile. Nanjengomlungiseleli webandlaeli, esam isiqiniseko liLizwi, kwaye ndifuna^Ndiyazi ukubaningaBazalwana, nikhangele kum njengokungathindisisiqiniseko senu njengokungathi ndisisiqiniseko senusento^okoko nje ndilandela uThixo njengokuba uPawuloswatshoyo eSibhalweni, “Xelisani mna, njengokuba namndixelisa uKristu.”7 Ngoko ke ndingalindela nina bazalwana, ukuba naxeshanini na nindibona ndimnka kwesi Sibhalo, ukuba nize kumbucala nindixelele ukuba ndiphosise phi na. Kungenamsebenzinokuba ungomnye wabasayinela izimali na okanye i^okanyeungumgcini wesakhiwo, nokuba ungubani na, unoxanduvakum, njengoMzalwana kuKristu, ukuba undixelele xa ndisenzaokungalunganga ngokwasezibhalweni. Yaye ukuba kukhoumbuzo, masihlale phantsi siwusombulule, kunye.8 Yaye naso isizathu sokuba nize, ndiyaqonda,ngokuhlwanje, nindizise apha, kungokuba kukho imibuzoapha ekhangeleka ibuzwa nini engqondweni yenu kwizintoendi_endinazo apha. Ngoku khumbulani, bazalwana,andazi^akukho magama abhaliweyo kuwo wonke lamatikiti, kodwa^abhaliwe, yaye andikwazi^andazi ukubangubani na owabhalileyo, kodwa ayimibuzo asengqondweniyenu, yaye ndilapha ukuze ndiyiphendule ngokona kungconokokwazi kwam.9 Yaye nikhumbule, uThixo ukhangele kum ukubona ukubandiyahlala eLizwini.

imikhosi yo_yobukumkani bobumnyama bukaSathanaiyakuvukelana nawe nje ukuba uqale ukukhula eNkosini. Yayenimelwe kukuba nibe ngamajoni, hayi nje asandula kungenaemkhosini. Ningamajoni akhulileyo ngoku, naqeqeshelweukulwa. Kwaye uSathana uyakuza phakathi kwenu abangeimpixwano omnye nomnye ukuba anganako. Mlahleleningaphandle ngokukhawuleza okungako; ningabazalwana; yayeyena ulutshaba. Kwaye silapha ukuza kugcina umgangathowoku Khanya kwexa langokuhlwa, oko, kwaxa ihlabathilenziwe mnyama nobukumkani benkonzo buphela busiyakungena kwiBhunga leeNkonzo. Yaye ngokukhawulezaokukhulu bayakuzama ukuncamathisela umbhalo apha kolucango, “Ivaliwe!” Yaye ke kuyakunyanzeleka ukubasihlangane kwezinye iindawo, kuba ngokuqinisekileyo bazakuzivala ezi nkonzo ngolunye lwezi ntsuku ukubaasiluthabathi uphawu lwerhamncwa. Yaye sixhomekekeekuhlaleni sinyanisekile kuThixo side sikhululwe kukufa,nantso ke into esizimisele kuyo.10 Ngoku sizakuya ngqo kwi^Yaye ndingacela, ukubakungakho ixesha lokuba nayiphi na kwezi zinto ibeyebuzwayo, ukuba eli khasethi limelwe kukudlalwa phambikwamalungu eli bandla, yabona, kwiindawo enihlangana kuzo,okanye ngaphambi kwenkonzo, kanye phambi kokuba inkonzoiqale. Nivulele eli khasethi nilidlale! Yaye langa ibandlaelilapha lingaqonda ukuba la madoda anoxanduva kuThixo,njengesifungo sawo kweli bandla, ukunceda abambe lemithetho ilawulayo. Usenokungavumelani nawo; yaye ukubandithe yiqhube, ngoko andisayi kuvumelana nawe nam.Kumelwe kukuba sibe nendawo engumthombo kwindawoethile apho kumelwe kubekho isigqibo khona. Yaye eyonaingcono ndiyaziyo, ndinikezela ngayo phantsi koMoyaoyiNgcwele, ndivumela Yena ukuba abe luQobo lwesikhokelokum. Ukuze ke eli khasethi libe luQobo lwenu kule mibuzo.

Ngoku, lo ngowokuqala:Liyakuqhuba njani ibandla malunga nokubiza uncedolwezimali lwe^lokutya neempahla? Yintoni_yintoniisenzo, li_limelwe kukwenza ntoni ibandla?

11 Ngoku siyaqaphela ukuba ibandla linoxanduva ngabantubalo, ngamalungu ethu alapha enkonzweni, sinoxanduvangokupheleleyo ngokubhekiselele kwiintswelo nokosinokubabonelela ngako. Sinoxanduva ngabantu bethu, abo,ngokuthe chu, bengamalungu athe rhoqo walo mnquba athieze apha ukuza kukhonza nathi. Sinyanzelekile ngoxanduvangabo, njengaBazalwana nooDade bethu abayebaqondakalalisa ukuba bangamalungu ethu alo mhlangano.12 Ngoku, siyaqonda ukuba zikho izigidi ngokuhlwanjeezingenakudla, ezingenampahla, yaye singathanda ukuba sibe

nokunceda lonke elo qela lazo, senze konke esinokubanokukwenza; kodwa ngokwasezimalini asinako ukukwaziukuyenza loo nto, asinako ukuxhasa lonke ihlabathi. Kodwasinyanzelekile kwabangabethu. Kwaye ndiyacinga, ngaloo nto,ukuze ukuba ninayo nantoni na eshiyekileyo enifunaukunikela ngayo ebantwini abangengomalungu aphaenkonzweni, into ethile eniyakuthanda ukubapha yona, imelwekukuba phakathi kwebhodi yamadikoni loo nto.

13 Amadikoni ngawo a_amelwe kukuhlangabezananochasayo, kungenjalo nengxaki, gxebe; ngokuba yiloo ntoeBhayibhileni eyavelayo xa kwabakho ingxaki evelayomalunga nokudla nempahla, nezinto ezinjalo, kwiNcwadiyeZenzo, babiza abapostile malunga naloo nto, baze bathi,“Hambani nizikhangelele amadoda asixhenxe aziwangokunyaniseka nazaliswe nguMoya oyiNgcwele ukuze ahoyeezi zinto, ngokuba sizakunizinikela ngokuthe rhoqo thinakwiLizwi likaThixo nasemthandazweni.”

14 Yaye asingomsebenzi womlungiseleli ukukhangelai^ukudla nezinto ezinjalo. Imelwe kukuba ngamadikoni.Asingabasayinela izimali, ngumsebenzi wamadikoni ukwenzalento. Kwaye ngoko oku kumelwe kuku^KhumbulanieBhayibhileni, babenikela kwabangababo, amaGrike e_kunyenamaJuda, apho kwavela khona iingxoxo, apho kwavela khonaingxoxo yokuba omnye wayefumana ngokungcono kunomnye,kodwa yayingabantu ababethengise ngempahla yabo bazebanikela ngayo ebandleni ukulixhasa, baze ke ba_bazahlulephakathi kwabo ngokulinganayo. Kwaze kwakho keukungavisisani okuncinane okwabakhoyo, nako ke aphosifumana khona amadikoni wethu okuqala. Ngomnyewemisebenzi yawo ke lowo, ukwenza loo nto.

15 Ndiyacinga ukuba, njengabethu, abantu abangabethu,simelwe kukubakhathalela. Yaye loo nto ifanelwekukungeniswa, nasiphi na isikhalazo, kusihlalo webhodiyamadikoni, ukuze ke ihlangatyezwe yibhodi yamadikoniabone ukuba anganako na ukwenza into malunga naloo nto.Zonke ke ezoo zinto zizimpahla, nokudla, noncedo lwezimali,okanye nokuba ziyintoni na, zimelwe kukuza ngamadikoni.Amadikoni, akuba enze isigqibo wona a_wonaa^siyakwenza ntoni na ngaloo nto, ngoko imelwe kukusiwaku_kunondyebo, ukuze kubonwe ukuba unondyebo unako nangeli xesha ukuhlawula eli nani lithile lemali,kungenjalo_kungenjalo ukuthengwa kwezi mpahla, okanyenokuba yintoni na ekubhekiselelwa kuyo. Kodwa i_ibhungalamadikoni limelwe kukuhlangana ngalooo nto, ukuze ingayikwabasayinela izimali kunye nomlungiseleli. Yintoyamadikoni, ngokupheleleyo.

Ngoku, umbuzo wesibini.

ULUNGELELWANO EBANDLENI 5

Ingaba kwanele ukuthetha esidlangalaleni epulpitiniukuba iilwimi nokucaciswa kweelwimi zimelwekukwenziwa enkonzweni phambi kokuba iqale inkonzo?

Ngumbuzo wesibini okweli cwecwe lephepha ndinaloapha, elilikhadana.16 Ngoku, le inokuba isingisele kumlungiseleli apha, yabona.Ngokuba yena_yena, ngaphaya koko, ikweli cala lomoya,nguye intloko yeloo cala. Amadikoni angamapolisa ebandleni,ukuze agcine ucwangco nokuhoya ezinye ezi izinto, ukondliwakwamahlwempu, nezinto ezinjalo. Abasayinela izimalibangaphaya ezimalini nasesakhiweni, yaye yiloo nto abamelwekukujongana nayo. Kodwa umlungiseleli ungaphae_ekongameleni icala lokomoya, le ke imelwe kukuza kuwe,Mzalwana Neville.17 Ngoku, kukho^kwixesha elithile eladlulayo xa kwathikwamiselwa ulungelelwano ebandleni. Ndiyakholwaekuthetheni ngeelwimi, nasekutolikweni, zonke iziphoezilungileyo ezamiselwa nguThixo ukuba zibekho ebandleni.Kodwa siphila kumhla nje onjengokuba kwakunjalo ngexeshaleBhayibhile, apho amabandla^Ngoku, uyakuqaphela ukubauPawulos waseka ibandla elise-Efese, ibandla lase-Efese,elalilibandla elisekeke kakuhle. Uyayiqaphela loo nto?Siyakholwa ukuba uPawulos, yaye watsho ngokwakhe, ukubawayethetha ngeelwimi ezininzi, yaye siyazi ukuba wayenazoizipho zeelwimi. Hayi ezo wayezifundile, kodwa ezowayeziphiwe ngokomoya, ngenxa yendlela athetha ngayophaya kumaKorinte. Yaye ukonga ixesha, mna, hayinje^ndityhile eBhayibhileni ndikufundele, ngokuba loo ntoingenza ukuba si_sihlale ithuba elide kakhulu ngokuhlwanje,ndibe ke ndingenaxesha lide ngokwaneleyo. Kwayengoku^kodwa ukuze ubone nje ngokucacileyo.

18 Ngoku, uPawulos akazange nangaxesha linye athethekwibandla lase-Efese okanye ibandla laseRoma, okanyenaliphi na kuloo mabandla, malunga nezipho zawo zomoya,indlela emazibekwe ngayo kulungelelwano. Kodwa wathethakumaKorinte ngokuthe rhoqo malunga naloo nto, ngokubababehleli beyiphethe njengomba lonke ixesha. Yaye uPawuloswathi, akufika phakathi kwabo, ukuba babethi bafumaniseukuba omnye uneelwimi aze omnye abe nendumiso, wazewabulela iNkosi ngazo zonke izipho zabo ezilungileyo nezintoezinjalo. Yaye ukuba uyaqaphela kwisahluko sokuqala okanyeesesibini samaKorinte, uPawulos wayebaxelela,ngokweendawo zabo, into ababeyiyo kuKristu, indlelaawayeyakuthi^ babebekwe ngokweendawo zabo kuKristu.19 Waze emva kokuba wabaxelelayo, waphinda njengokubauyise eqala ukubafaka isabhokhwe, wathi, “Ndiyeva ukubakukho iimbambanwo phakathi kwenu, yaye ndiyeva ukuba

niyanxila esithebeni seNkosi.” Wayengabenzi bangabingoMakristu; yaye ningaze niyenze loo nto bazalwana,ukubenza bangabi ngoMakristu, kodwa yindlela abaziphethengayo endlwini kaThixo. Nantso ke eyona nto.20 Ngoku, ndingathetha oku, ukuba uPawulos wakudalawatsho, ukuthi, “Xa nithe nahlangana, ukuba omnyeuyathetha, makachaze intetho omnye. Ukuba ke akukho toliki,ngoko thulani. Kodwa ukuba ikho itoliki^”21 Ngoku, ndikhe ndalikhangela eli bandla, ndaze ndalibonalikhula, ndaze ndabona izipho ezininzi zokomoya zisebenzaphakathi kwenu. Ngeliphandle, enye into ekwanyanzelekandize malunga nayo kuMzalwana Neville yayiliLizwi elivelaeNkosini, ukuba ndimlungise kwinto ethile awayeyenza.22 Yaye ukuba ndi^ukuba iNkosi ithe^UMoyaoyiNgcwele undenze umveleli woMhlambi, ngoko luxanduvalwam ukuba ndinixelele iNyaniso. Kwaye ndinombulelokakhulu kuMzalwana Neville, uyimamele iNyaniso.NdiYithetha nje njengoko Endixelela.23 Ngoku, malunga nalento, njengoko ndiliqapheleyo ibandlalenu likhula, ndaze ndayiqaphela. Yaye ebandleni, nantsiindlela ebesikade siqhuba ngayo kuqala, yaye le yindlelaesi_esifuna ukuba kube yiyo kwakhona.24 Ngoku, ukuba awunakukhangela, xa iintsana^Intoyokuqala eyenziwa lusana xa luzama ukuthetha xa lungakwaziukuthetha. Yabona? Lwenza ingxolo eninzi yokuvuthela,nengxolo, ne_nezinto ezinjalo, kodwa lona lucinga ukubanje^lunako ukuthetha ngaphezu komshumayeli lonkeixesha. Kuba, sifumanisa ukuba loo nto ayikho kubomibokwenyama kuphela, kodwa sifumanisa ukuba loo nto ikhonakubomi bokomoya. Ngomncinane lowo. Ukuba uzamaukululungisa usana uluchwakraze kancinane ngenxa yokubalu “khala” luzama ukuthetha, uyakumonakalisa umntwana.Yabona, yaye uyakumenzakalisa. Kungcono uluyeke usanalukhule kancinane lude ngenene lukwazi ukuwathethaamagama alo ngokukuko, uze ke ulixelele ukuba kunini na.“Hayi ngeli thuba utata athethayo okanye xa umama ethetha.”Koko xa ilixesha elililo, luvumele lufumane eyalo indawoyokuthetha. Niyandifumana? Ngoku, luvumele luthethelakufika ixesha lalo lokuba luthethe.25 Ngoku, ukuba bendikhe ndanayo nantoni na ebeluvikoenyameni yam, phaya ngaphandle enkonzweni, kukuthi umntuothile aphakame xa ndithetha aze yena akhuphe umyalezongeelwimi awaphule uMoya. Ndisandula ukuphumaenkonzweni eNew York nakwiindawo ezahlukeneyo aphoabefundisi bebeye bayiyeke iqhubeke khona loo nto, ixeshaemva kwelinye, yaye loo nto akukho nto iyiyo yi_yindidekonje. Yabona, xa uThixo esebenza ngomgca ongomnye

wengcinga, Yena^akunakuba_akunakuba^AngabauyaZiphikisa ngokwaKhe, ukuba Uyakuzama ukuzisa ingcingaethile kuwe, ebandleni, ukubizela ngaphambili abazinikayoukuze kugxuphuleke into ethile eyenye.26 Ngokomzekelo, njengale nto. Sihleli etafileni, siyancokola,kwaye sithetha ngeNkosi. Aze omncinane angene ebaleka ezeetafileni, ngokukhawuleza okukhulu, asuse konke oko kuhoyainto esiyenzayo, ze akhwaze, akhale, “Tata! Mama! Bethu!Bethu! Ndisandula ukufumana inqaku kwelaa qela! Yayesenze konke oku, okuya, kunye nokunye!” Ngeli thubabesiphakathi kanye kwenzulu ingongoma engcwele. Ngoku,ukufumana kwakhe inqaku, yinto elungileyo leyo kwibholayomnyazi, yinto elungileyo leyo. Kodwa uphumekulungelelwano akungenelela phakathi kumyalezo ebesithethangawo. Makalinde kude kufike ixesha lakhe aze asixelelengaloo nto ayenze kumdlalo webhola yomnyazi.27 Ngoku, yinto enye leyo nale nto siyifumana malunganezipho namhlanje. Naso isizathu sokuba uThixo anganikezelingezipho ezininzi zomoya ebantwini, abazi ukubamabazilawule kanjani na. Nantso ingxaki namhlanje, isizathusokuba singabi saba nazo kunoko sikwenzayo.

28 Yaye ke sifumana ukulinganiswa okuninzi kweziphozomoya. Kodwa andikholwa ukuba kunjalo apha kwibandlalethu. Ndiyabulela ngaloo nto. Andikholelwa ukuba kukhoukulinganiswa konke konke. Ndikholwa ekubeni sineziphoezizizo, kodwa simelwe kukwazi ukuba singazilawula njani naezo zipho.29 Yaye xa uzakuqalisa ukwenza into elungileyo^Kanyenjengokuba usebenzela umphathi okanye uqala emsebenziniokokuqala ulungele ukuthabatha imiyalelo ke, ngokoumphathi uyakuthemba yaye uyakuhlala ekunyuselakwisikhundla esingentlana lonke ixesha.30 Ngoku, ndiyakholwa ukuba kufike ixesha kuMnqubakaBranham, lokwazi ukuba^ukuthabatha izipho atheuThixo wasipha zona, ukuze uThixo abe nokunikela kuthi intoenkulwana kunaleyo sinayo. Kodwa asinakuqhubelaphambili^ungambona ke umntu omelwe kukumxelela lonkeixesha. Yaye ukhumbule, “Umoya wabaprofeti uyabalulamelaabaprofeti,” sitsho iSibhalo. Xa ubona umntu obumlungisile,okanye umfazi, aze loo mntu aphume ecaleni, uze umxeleleiNyaniso yokweSibhalo, loo nto ibonisa ukuba umoya okuyeawungokaThixo. Ngokuba iBhayibhile ithe, “Umoyawabaprofeti,” okanye, “wokuprofeta,” oko, kukungqina,ukushumayela, ukuthetha ngeelwimi, okanye nokuba yintonina, kuba iilwimi xa zitolikiwe sisiprofeto eso. Ngokouyamthobela umprofeti, yaye iLizwi ngumprofeti. Yayesi_sifumanisa ukuba kuphume emgceni ukuba indoda okanye

umfazi ixhume yenze umyalezo, akunamsebenzi nokuba ifunaukuyenza kangakanani na loo nto, ngeli thuba umshumayeliasepulpitini.31 Ngoko ndiyacebisa kuMnquba kaBranham, ukubanjengoko izezethu_izezethu izipho ezifuna^Yaye sinabantuabanezipho abalunge ngenene. Ngoku, ngasinye kwezo ziphozilulungiselelo olulolwabo. Zezi zipho, kanyenjengokushumayela kusisipho, njengokuba ukuphilisa isisipho,njengokuba nezinye izizipho, ezi zizipho, zilulungiselelozizodwa. Yaye mntu ngamnye uyalelwa ekubeni alindeleulungiselelo olulolwakhe.32 Ngoko ke mawuthi uMnquba kaBranham usebenze oku,yaye ngaloo mini, ingakumbi ngalo mhla xa sithe sanentoeninzi (andifuni kukuthetha oku, kodwa) okuninzi kokuzenzaamakholwa. Asifuni kuzenzisa malunga nokukholwa. Akukhomntu, umntu onyanisekileyo ofuna ukuba nokholo lokuzenzisa.Thina^Ukuba asikwazi ukuba ngabenene, masingabi nalongokupheleleyo, masilinde side sifumane olwenene. Ngoku,ndiyakholwa ukuba nina_nina madoda niyakuvumelana naloonto. Asifuni kwanto yokholo lokuzenzisa. Bazalwana,asinakuqalisa into ethile yokholo lokuzenzisa sibe silishiyaihlabathi. Simelwe kukufumana into eyinene, nentoeyesulungekileyo. Ukuba asinayo, masilinde side siyifumaneke, size ke sibe nento yokuthetha ngaloo nto. Yabona?33 Ngoku, ndingatsho, ukuthi wonke la madoda nabafaziathetha ngeelwimi, aprofete, akhuphe imiyalezo^Kwayemna_ndiyakholwa kunye nani madoda ukuba zezenene. Ngoku,iBhayibhile ithe, “Zicikideni zonke izinto, nibambelele kwezozilungileyo.” “Kuba ndiyakuthetha ngemilebe ethintithayonangalwimi zimbi kwaba bantu, nantsi indawo yokuphumlaeNdathi bayakungena,” ngaphaya kwiNcwadi ka-Isaya.

34 Ngoku, ndingacebisa oku ukuze indawo engcweleilungiselelwe sisipho sibe sinye ngexesha, ukuze isibuyiselengokuthe ngqo kulungelelwano kwakhona lwaloo nto ndizamaukuyithetha: ukuba omnye uyathetha, umoya wabaprofetimawumlulamele umprofeti. Niyaqonda? Ngoku, mabathi abobanolungiselelo kuMzimba kaKristu^Yaye ngoku Ithethiweloo nto, ngoku mayenziwe. Mabathi abo banolungiselelokuMzimba kaKristu balindele ulungiselelo lwabo, ngokubalulungiselelo oluvela kuKristu lusiya ebandleni. Kodwaaninakulungiselela nonke ngexesha elinye, nimelwe kukubaabemnye ngexesha.35 Umnquba kaBranham uyakuba lolu hlobo. Mabathi abobathetha ngeelwimi, nabo batolika iilwimi, nabo banesiprofetoesiza kunikwa ibandla, mabahlangane phakathi kwabokwangethuba e^phambi kokuba iqale inkonzo, mabahlanganekwigumbi ekubekelwene ngalo, balindele ulungiselelo lweNkosi.

Ukuba akayenzi loo nto,uzakudideka akufika phaya phandle. (Ndoda nganye kenomfazi ngamnye, onesipho somoya, uza phambi kweNkosi.)Nanjengokuba ke umlungiseleli enolungiselelo olunye,ungumprofeti; igama lesiNgesi, umshumayeli, lithetha“umprofeti,” lowo ngumntu oxela kwangaphambili iLizwi.37 Mabathi abo banolungiselelo oluyakuba yinxenyekolomnye umntu, njengalowo uthetha ngeelwimi aze omnyeatolike, balinda kunye belindele ulungiselelo lwabo. Abanakoukuhlala kwigumbi labucala lokufundela bathethe ngeelwimibaze ke bazokuxelela omnye ukuba ebesithini na, ngokubaangaba unako kokubini iilwimi nokutolikwa kwazo. Yabona?Ngoku, ukuba unayo loo nto, kulugile, sifuna ukuyamnkelailolo hlobo. Yaye sifuna ukuba ibandla lizuze ngezi ziphozisebandleni lethu. NguThixo ozithumele kuthi, yayezezo^sifuna ukuba ibandla lethu lizuze ngezi zipho.

Iyaqondakala?38 Kuze ngoko, ngolu hlobo, ukuba uMzalwana Nevilleuthi^Kulungile, ngoku mna mandi^Uxolo, mandithetheoku. Ukuba uMzalwana Collins uthetha ngeelwimi azeuMzalwana Hickerson atolike, ngoko banolungiselelooluhlangeneyo kwibandla. Ngoku, olo ayilolungiselelolukaMzalwana Neville; lulungiselelo lwenu kwibandla.Ndiyikhupha njengomzekelo lento. Ngoko nina bazalwananimelwe kukuba nomdla ekubeni ulungiselelo lwenu lubekwindawo eyiyo endlwini kaThixo njengoko umlungiselelienomdla ekulufakeni nolwakhe, ngokuba kuyimfuneko ngeneneukuba niyenze loo nto. Kodwa aninakuyenza kwigumbi labucalaninodwa, ukuba wena uyathetha uze wena utolike, nimelwekukuba nihlangane. Ngoku, hlanganani ebandleni, ecaleniegumbini ninodwa, ngokuba ninolungiselelo lwabucala.Ayilolungiselelo lwasesidlangalaleni, lolo luzakunceda ibandla.Yabona? Yinto ethile yokunceda ibandla, kodwa ayimelwangakukwenziwa phakathi ebandleni, ingaloo ndlela kuphelandizakunixelela ukuba imelwe kukwenziwa ngayo. Yabona?Ngoko, nantoni na ethethwa nguMzalwana Collins, uMzalwanaHickerson ukhupha ingcaciso, ngokomzekelo, ngoko makathiuMzalwana othile kumntu othile abhale oku phantsi, nokoikuthethayo. Ukuze ngoko ukuba kuza^39 Ngoku, siyazi sonke ukuba iNkosi iyeza, siyayazi loo nto.Yaye ukuba uMzalwana Neville uphakamile ubusuku

ngabunye athi, “Yabonani, iNkosi iyeza! Yabonani iNkosiiyeza!” ingayinto elungileyo leyo, yabona. Kodwa uthetha into(umlungiseleli) eqongeni, kuba nguye oneLizwi ngaloo nto.Kuba ungumlungiseleli, umprofeti ebandleni^okanyeumlungiseleli, gxebe, umelwe kukufunda iLizwi leNkosianixelele oko kubhalwe eLizwini leNkosi malunga nokuzakweNkosi, nize nibe ngabayaliweyo ngaLo. Ulungiseleloolulolunye (kwibandla) anganxibelelananga nokunxibelelananalo, ziilwimi, ukutolikwa kweelwimi (ntoleyo isisiprofeto),okanye umprofeti ethetha, yinto leyo engabhalwanga eLizwini.Okubhalwe eLizwini, kokwakhe ukukuzisa; kodwaokungabhalwanga eLizwini, koko nimelwe kukumxelela.Njengokuthi, kuba ngokomzekelo, “Xelela uMzalwanaWheeler, ITSHO INKOSI, ‘Ngomso kwiqula lakhe lesantimakangayi, ngokuba kuzakubhukuqa inqwelo,’” okanye yintoelolo hlobo, yaye ke inyanzelekile ukuba yenzeke. Yaye seleuyithethile waze wayitolika yena, uze uyibeke eqongeni emvakokuba lugqityiwe ulungiselelo lwakho. I^?^ngobusuku,emva kwenkonzo^iculo, uqalise ukucula njalo njalo; ukubaulungiselelo lwakho lugqityiwe ngoko, mabeze ke nesosiprofeto siye sakhutshwa.40 Yaye andicingi ukuba simelwe kukuba^Okanye ukubawenze njalo, kubeke oku phaya ngaphakathi. Xa aba bantubehlangene, makungene abo banobulumko kuqala. Ngokuba,uyabona, ukuba omnye uthetha ngeelwimi aze omnye anikeingcaciso ngokweSibhalo, loo nto ayinakwamnkelwangaphandle kokuba ingqinwe ngabantu ababini okanyeabathathu, amabini okanye amathathu namangqinaangaphezulu, yabona, amelwe kukungqina loo nto, ukubaayakholwa ukuba iliLizwi leNkosi. Ngokuba^Yayengamanye amaxesha kolu lungiselelo lulolona luncinci,njengokuba kunjalo nakolunye ulungiselelo, kubakho imimoyaengalunganga; yabona, iyakubhabha ingene apho. Yayeasiyifuni loo nto. Hayi. Sifuna ukuba olu lungiselelo lulungeleukutyhilwa ukuba lumelwe kukutyhilwa, ngokuba nantoni naeyekaThixo inako^awubi nangxaki malunga nokuyityhila,i_iyakumelana nokuvavanywa ukuba yekaThixo.41 Kanye njengomlungiseleli, ukuba kukho umntu ocelaundikho kuye ngeLizwi, akamelwanga kukubuya umvamalunga nalo, uyazi ngokuchanekileyo ukuba uthetha nabanina, “Nyukela apha.” Yabona? Kuyinto enye nangolunye oluulungiselelo, lumelwe kukuba kwayiloo ndlela.42 Ngoku, ukuba_ukuba kukho othetha ngeelwimi akhupheumyalezo^Ngoku, abanye abantu bathetha ngeelwimi xa nje“bezakha,” iBhayibhile itsho, bazonwabele nje. Bayakuthethangeelwimi, bavakalelwe. Yaye bayathetha ngeelwimi, enenenibathetha ngeelwimi, yaye nguMoya lowo wenza loo nto.Kodwa ukuba kuhleliwe phaya ngaphandle phakathi

kwabantu, ukuthetha ngeelwimi, ukwenzela nje ukuzakha,ngoko ayiluncedi nganto ibandla loo nto; loo ndoda iyazakhanje, okanye loo mfazi, okanye nokuba ngubani na owenza loonto. Yabona?43 Ukuthetha ngeelwimi kusisipho sikaThixo sokwakha,njengoko uPawulos watshoyo eSibhalweni, kuba sesokwakhaibandla. Ngoko kumele ukuba ibe ngumyalezo othe ngqoophuma kuThixo usiya ebandleni, ngaphandle kokokubhaliweyo apha eBhayibhileni. Yabona? Yinto ethile ethe^44 Ukuba ungandibuza, “Mzalwana Branham, ndimelwekukubhaptizwa njani?” Ndingakuxelela ngokukhawulezaokukhulu. Awumelwanga kukuba uthethe ngeelwimi uzeundixelele, ibhalwe kanye apho eBhayibhileni into omelwekukuyenza malunga naloo nto. Yabona? Andimelwangakuku^awumelwanga kukubuza kwambuzo ngaloo nto ukuzeube nomntu othetha ngeelwimi akuxelele. Yabona, seleibhaliwe kakade loo nto.45 Ukuba uthi, “Mzalwana Branham, ndithini, ndinesigqiboapha endimelwe kukusenza phakathi kokuba ndithabathe elibandla na okanye ndiye kwelinye,” okanye into ethile elolohlobo. “Okanye ndenze oku, okuya?” Ngoku, loo nto imelwekukuba yevela kuThixo. Yabona, nguThixo omelwekukusixelela loo nto. Kodwa loo nto imelwe kukuzangolungiselelo olulolunye, kuba iLizwi alithi, “U-OrmanNeville makashiye uMnquba kaBranham aye kuMnqubaweVangeli waseFort Wayne.” Yabona, ayithethi loo nto aphaeLizwini, yabona, ngoko zezaloo nto ke ezi zipho.46 Njengomntu onyukayo eze apha athi, “Uyakholwakwimpiliso eNgcwele?” Siyayishumayela loo nto, siyakholwakuyo, siyakholwa kwintambiso, i-oli.47 Kodwa naku kukho indoda ethi, “Ayikwazi kuphumela,yintoni ingxaki?” Ngoko kuthabatha uThixo, ngeelwimi,ngokutolika, ngesiprofeto, okanye ngohlobo oluthile lokubakuhliwe kubomi baloo ndoda kutsalwe kukhutshwe loo ntoiyenzileyo, ixelelwe ngayo. Lulungiselelo olungelulo olo malusiolo, lolwezi zipho zokulungiselela, kodwa azimelwangakwenziwa phaya phandle phakathi kwabantu. Yabona?48 Ngoku, uPawulos akazange nangaxesha linye abaxeleleabo_abaxelele abo bebandla lase-Efese nantoni na enjengaleyo,babekulungelelwano, ibandla laseRoma, okanye naliphi nakwamanye amabandla; kuphela kukwibandla laseKorinte, yayebona babengakwazi nje ukuzenzela^ Ngoku, uPawuloswayekholelwa ekuthetheni ngeelwimi. Wayenako ukuthethangeelwimi kwibandla lase-Efese, ngendlela efanayo kunokubakwakuthethwa kwibandla laseKorinte, yabona, kodwawayekwazi ukuthetha izinto ezinkulwana kwibandla lase-Efesekunokuba kuthethwe nje ngeelwimi, kutolikwe iilwimi.

49 Ngoku, ngoko ukuba ubani ubhala umyalezo obukhutshwengeelwimi okanye ukhutshwe ngesiprofeto, awubeke apha phezukweqonga, umelwe kukufundwa ngumlungiseleli phambikokuba iqale inkonzo, oka “ITSHO INKOSI” uvela kwaba bantubawuthethileyo baze bawutolika. Ke ukuba loo nto yenzekilekanye ngendlela ebitolikwe ngayo, siyakuphakamisa izandlazethu sibulele kuThixo ngoMoya waKhe ophakathi kwethu.Ukuba ayenzekanga, ngoko ningakhe nibe sakwenza okokwakhona ude loo moya ungcolileyo uphume kuni. UThixoakaxoki, Uhlala ethetha inyaniso njalo.50 Ngoko, uyabona, nibadala ngokwaneleyo, ukuze nenzengokwabantu abadala, hayi njengabantwana (“gu, gu, gu”),nimelwe kukuba nentsingiselo ethile yento ethile.51 Malithi ibandla ngoku, njengokuba lingena kulungelelwano,lingene kolu lungelelwano. Ukuba omnye uyaprofeta^Ukubakungene othile phakathi kwenu, ongenamfundo, anive nithethangeelwimi, niyakuba ngamaBhari-bhari kuye, akayazi ukubayintoni na le nithetha ngayo. Yabona? Eneneni ke ngalo mhlakuthe kwakho okungaka ukudideka malunga naloo nto, yenzaisikhubekiso. Kodwa omnye makathethe ngeelwimi, aze omnyeayicacise loo nto akhuphe umyalezo, uze ufundwe uphume aphaeqongeni kanye, malunga nento ezakuqhubeka, ize ke yenzeke,nibone ukuba kuyakwenzeka ntoni na. Ubaxelele uthi, “Ngomsongexesha elithile, kungenjalo kwiveki ezayo ngexesha elithile,kuyakubakho into ethile,” ukuze ke athi ongakholwayo ohleliapho aphulaphule loo nto ayibone ixelwe kwangaphambiliphambi kokuba yenzekayo. Ngoko bayakwazi ukuba moya mnina ophakathi kwenu, iyakuba nguMoya kaThixo. Nantso intoeyayithethwa nguPawulos, “Ngoko ukuba othile uyaprofetaatyhile izinto eziyimfihlelo, aliyi kuthi liwe phantsi lonke naibandla, okanye ongakholwayo, athi, ‘UThixo uphakathikwenu’?” Yabona? Ngokuba akunakwenzeka^52 Kodwa ngoku asifuni^”Ngokuya sasingabantwana,”uPawulos watsho, “Ndandisenza ngokomntwana,” waxelelaibandla laseKorinte apho, “Ndandithetha ngokomntwana.”Wayenengqondo yobuntwana. “Kodwa ndakuba mdala,ndazilahla izinto zobuntwana.”53 Ngoku, ndinixelela nonke, yabona. Ngoku, kwiminyakaembalwa eyadlulayo, naningabantwana ninezi zipho, nidlalanisihla ninyuka. Kodwa benisesikolweni ke ngoku, lixeshalokuba nibe ngamadoda, ningasebenzisi ezi zinto ngokudlalanje ngazo. Ezi zipho zingcwele, zizezikaThixo, yaye akudlalwangazo. Masivumele uThixo azisebenzise. Nantso into elumelwekukuba yiyo ulungiselelo lwenu, yaye yiloo ndlelaoyakwenziwa usebenze ngayo uMnquba kaBranham. Ke_Keukuba kuyabuzwa ngale nto, naxesha nini na, eli khasethimalime njengengqina lokuba leyo yindlela emakwenziwengayo kuMnquba kaBranham.

54 Ukuba kukho undwendwe olungenileyo, kuba niba nawolonke ixesha, ngokuba lo ngumnquba kankonzo-zonke, kukhoabantu abangenayo abangafundiswanga kakuhle,abafundiswanga, akukho nto ingcono bayaziyo. Abalungiselelibabo buqu, bayaxhuma nje bawunqumlele umyalezo wabo,bawukrazule nje wonke, bathethe ngeelwimi nayo yonke intoenjengaleyo. Wena uyindoda efundiswe ngokungcono kunoko.Yabona? Ngoko emva kwenkonzo, ukuba uthe akalawuleka,yindawo yedikoni ngoko ukuya kumxelela. Ningayekeliumlungiseleli wenu ibe nguye omelwe kukuyenza loo ntongaphandle kokuba kufikelele kwindawo apho kungekhomadikoni khona apha, kodwa lidikoni elimelwe kukujongananaloo nto. Yabona?55 Ngoku, emva kwenkonzo^Ukuba umntu uyaphakamanje akhuphe umyalezo, ukuba umlungiseleli ufuna ukumaokomzuzwana nje aphinde aqhubeke, kulungile, yabona,ixhomekeke kumlungiseleli loo nto. Kodwa ngokukhawulezaokukhulu mayibe lidikoni, phambi kokuba loo mntu aphumeesakhiweni, amthathe aye naye ecaleni athethe naye malunganaloo nto. Ukuba ke bayayibuza, nibabuyisele kweli khasethinithi, “Sixelelwe loo nto ngubhishophu okanye umveleliwebandla eli^” Ntoleyo ubhishophu, i^nawuphi naumveleli. Yabona, ubizwa ngolo hlobo eBhayibhileni,“ububhishophu,” yabona, loo nto ithetha umveleli jikelelewebandla. Makathi^ “Nalu ulungelelwano nendlela eqhubangayo inkonzo yethu. Ngoku, siyathanda ukuba uze ukhupheumyalezo wakho. Kodwa ukuba unomyalezo ophuma eNkosiniyaye u^mawukhutshwe, nyuka uze apha eqongeni uwubekeaze umlungiseleli wethu awufundele ibandla, umyalezo ozakweli bandla.” Kodwa awumelwanga kukuba ubekukuphinda-phinda iZibhalo nje, nezinto ezilolo hlobo.Umelwe kukuba ube ngumyalezo ongqalileyo oya ebantwini,okanye into ethile eza kwenzeka, kungenjalo into abamelwekukuyenza. Iyaqondakala? Kulungile.

Ngoku, ingaba ikho indlela engcono yokugcina ucwangcoenkonzweni kunokuhlala bekhunjuzwa abantube_bekhunjuzwa ngamadikoni ngokufanelekileyo?

Hayi, leyo, ndisandula ukuyicacisa. Ngumbuzo wesithathulowo.56 Amadikoni, umsebenzi wawo kukugcina ucwangcoenkonzweni, enobubele nobuhlobo. Ngoko ke umelwe, ukubakukho umntu ophumileyo kucwangco enkonzweni, okanye intoethile engeneyo enjengenxila, okanye umntu othile ongenileyo.57 Njengokuba kwadutyulwa laa mfundisi eseqongeningobunye ubusuku phaya phezulu.

laya kumlungiseleli. Waze umlungiseleli walibonisa inkosikaziyalo apho, kodwa lalizakuyidubulela kanye enkonzweni,waqala ke ngoko umfundisi ukuzamana nalo. Endaweniyoku_endaweni yoku^Loo_Loo ndoda iphethe umpuomfutshane yajika yadubula umfundisi eseqongeni, yaphindayadubula inkosikazi yayo, yaphinda yazidubula.58 Ngoku, ukuba kwakukho iqela lamadikoni aphoekungeneni kwaloo ndoda emnyango iphethe umpu,ngewayeyibambe ngezandla ahlutha umpu lowo esandlenisayo. Yabona? Yabona, nga_ngamadikoni agcina ucwangcolawo. Ke ngoku, ezi zinto ziqhubeke ngolo hlobo ziqhubekangalo ngoku ungalindela nje nantoni na. Kodwa, khumbula,amadikoni ngamapolisa kaThixo endlwini kaThixo,akunamsebenzi nokuba ubani ucinga ntoni na. Ngamanyeamaxesha ipolisa alifuni kunyuka liye kubamba umntu othile,mhlawumbi iitshomi zalo, kodwa lisifungele eso sikhundla,linyanzelekile ukuba liyenze loo nto nakanjani na. Luxanduvalwalo lomsebenzi kwisixeko. Yabona?59 Nango umsebenzi wedikoni ebandleni. Yaye ukubakuxhuma othile aqalise ukuphazamisa umfundisi, okanye intoethile elolo hlobo, abe umfundisi esemyalezweni wakhe,amadikoni amelwe kukuphakama aye kuloo mntu, amabiniokanye amathathu kuwo, athi, “Asinakukhe sithethe nawe,mzalwana?” Yabona? Amzise ebandleni, amkhuphele e-ofisini,apha okanye kwi-ofisi ethile eyenye, athethe naye ngaloo nto,esithi, “Awumelwanga kukuba uphazamise.” Uyazi,si_sisohlwayo esikhulu ngokusemthethweni ukuphazamisainkonzo nakanjani na. Yabona? Kodwa abanye abantu,njengabantu abangootsotsi okanye into enjalo, xa bengenephakathi kwenu, uyazi, no_nomntu ongowenkolo oyibaxayo,aze_aze aqalise ukuqhubela phambili, ngoko amadikoni^Yaye ukuba amadikoni akabonakali enokuba nakoukuyilawula loo nto, ngoko ibhodi yabasayinela izimali okanyenabani na ongomnye ebandleni angangenelela ancedisekumntu onjalo. Niyayazi loo nto.60 Kwaye_Kwaye ngoku mandibuze umbuzo kwakhonaapha.

Ingaba ikho enye indlela engcono yokugcina ucwangcoebandleni kunokukhumbuza abantu ngokuthe rhoqongamadikoni, ngoku, esiqhelweni?

61 Ngoku ndiyacinga ukuba u_umlungiseleli, njaloethubeni^Okanye uyakudlala eli khasethi, alenze limenjengengqina. Amadikoni ngamapolisa, yaye ilizwi lawolingumthetho nocwangco. Yabona? Yaye analo igunya elivelaebandleni nelivela emthethweni wesizwe ngokwawo lokuyenzaindlu kaThixo ibe yindawo elungileyo. Yaye nabani na keonokuphikisana nedikoni ngolo hlobo, unoku_unokuwelwa

yiminyaka emibini ukuya kwelishumi yesigwebo kwitolongoyomanyano. Ukuba umxelele ukuba ahambe aze angahambi,kungenjalo enye into elolo hlobo, umntu othile ophazamisayongesimilo sakhe, engayazi nje into ayenzayo^Uzifakaengxakini, uzibeka kuzo zonke iintlobo zezigwebo, nantoni na.62 Ukuze ke ukuba kuthe kwafikelela kwindawo yokubaothile^Ngoku, njengokuba^Yaye ukuba umntu othileuxhumile waphuma elucwangcweni^Ngokuthi mhlawumbinje athethe ngeelwimi okanye into ethile, andinakungena kuloonto. Yabona, makaqhubeke, kakade ukuba ulundwendwe.Ukuba ke ngabanye babantu bethu, ngoko bayeke nje^Ngobusuku obulandelayo, nina madikoni thabathani elikhasethi, nithi, “Ngoku, sizakudlala inkqubo yocwangcolwenkonzo phambi kokuba siqalise inkonzo, ndifuna ukubawonke umntu ayiqonde.” Nina ke balungiseleli nani ninakoukusebenza ngolo hlobo.

Ngoku, Mzalwana Branham, kuthiweni ngesikoloseCawe? Mzalwana Branham, malunga nesikolo seCawe(kulungile), simelwe kukuba phambi kwenkonzoyentshumayelo?

63 Ewe, besihleli sisiqhuba ngolo hlobo. Yibani nesikoloseCawe ngaphambi kwenkonzo yentshumayelo. Loo nto keinika abafo abancinane abaya bangena isikolo seCawe, ukubabakhuphe amagumbi abo okufundela. Kwaye ukuba yayeukuba bayafuna^babe abancinane bengayiqondi loo nto,baze banyanzeleke ukuba bahlale kuyo yonke inkonzoyentshumayelo baze babe nesikolo seCawe, aba bancinane selebadinwe baphela ngoko. Ke isikolo seCawe masibe sesokuqala,masibekelwe ixesha, sibekelwe kanye ixesha esiyakuthi ngaloisikolo seCawe siqhube. Umphathi wesikolo seCawe umelwekukuba ajongane naloo nto, ukuba isikolo seCawe siqhubengexesha elithile, simiselwe ixesha. Size ke sikhutshwengexesha elithile. Isikolo secawe sinikelwe nje elingako ixeshakuphela, size ke sikhutshwe.

Ingaba utishala wabadala umelwe kukuba ngomnyeumntu ingenguye umfundisi?

64 Ukuba kuvunyelenwe ngolo hlobo. Umlungiseleli xa efunaukufundisa isikolo seCawe aze ayizise intshumayelo yakhekamva, ilungile loo nto ilunge kakhulu ukuba ufunaukuphinda-phinda inkonzo. Kodwa ukuba akafuni njalo,ngoko yibani naye utishala wesikolo seCawe sabadala, yabona,ukulungiselela isifundo senu sabadala. Ke ngokoukuba_ukuba umlungiseleli unomntu othile ongomnyeamcingayo apho, abe naloo mntu efuna ukuyenza loo nto,mnikeni amashumi amathathu emizuzu, okanye nokubayintoni na eniyakuyivumela isikolo seCawe, amashumiamathathu okanye amashumi amathathu anesihlanu,amashumi amane, nokuba yintoni na.

65 Kumelwe ukuba kufakwe intsimbi ke. Ukuze yakubethalaa ntsimbi, ithetha^kungenjalo ibe yintsimbi yenkonzo,yakubetha phaya ngaphandle, ikhupha isikolo seCawe. Ukuzeyakubetha laa ntsimbi, oko kuthetha ukuba yonke into mayibeselucwangcweni, ngoko.66 Kubekho ixesha elingako leculo kungenjalo abe mabini,nokuba nifuna ukucula ntoni na. Ingabi loxesha lide,bayakudinwa abantu xa begcinwe ixesha elide kakhulu,uyabona. Nibethe nje intsimbi, nenze iculo nokuba yintoni naeniyakuyenza, nibakhuphe ke abafundi benu. Ukuzengokukhawuleza okukhulu lakufika eloo xesha, mhlawumbisingathi i_intsimbi yeshumi, kungenjalo icala leyeshumi,okanye umkhono emva kweyeshumi, nokuba leliphi na,nibethe intsimbi aze wonke utishala akhuphe abafundi bakhe,baze ebandleni apha. Ukuze ngoko^Anike ingxelo, ingxeloyesikolo seCawe, ukuze ke ikhutshwe yonke loo nto, bathibonke abafunayo ukuhlalela intshumayelo elandelayo bahlale.Yabona, ngoko ke ingocwangco.

Umbuzo? Bangaphi^[Kukho umntu obuza kuMzalwanaBranham, “Siyazahlula ke ngokwamagumbi okufundela,ngamanye amazwi?”_Mhl]

67 Oo, ewe, niyakunyanzeleka. O_Ominyaka mithathuubudala akanakuqonda njengoko oneshumi elinesine ubudalaeyakuqonda. Ndiyacinga ukuba ndisenokubhekela phambilikancinane ngaloo nto.

Mangaphi amagumbi okufundela amelwe kukuba khona?68 Abafundi benu kufuneka nibabeke kwi^Njengegumbielincinane labafundi abamelwe kukuba ne-flannelgraph,ayifanelekanga noko loo nto kwinkwenkwe okanyeintombazana eneshumi elinesine leminyaka.

Ngoobani abamelwe kukuba ngootishala?71 Nantso ke, ixhomekeke kuni leyo kwivoti yenu nivoteleootishala benu. Yaye nimelwe kukuyenza loo nto, ukubafakaphaya, nifumane umntu othile. Nihlangane nebandla, nithi,“Ngubani^Ngoobani abaziva bekhokelwa yiNkosi?” Nize kenifumane utishala ophumeleleyo. Yenziwe ke ngoko.Kunyanzelekile ukuba ibe luxanduva olo, bazalwana. Ukubautishala akafanelekanga kulo msebenzi, ngokomabatshintshwe ootishala.72 Lakufika ixesha, phantsi koThixo, ukuba ndivangokungathi u-Orman Neville akasafanelekanga ukubangumlungiseleli apha, ndizakuyichaphazela loo nto ebandleni.Xa ndinokubona into apha, ndicinga ukuba nina madikonianinakuba ngabafanelekileyo ukuba nibe ngamadikoni,ndizakuyichaphazela loo nto ebandleni, ukuba, “Ndifumaniseukuba kukho idikoni elithile apha elenza into elingamelwangakukuyenza, libe lingasigcini isigxina salo somsebenzi,” nezintoezifana nezo, kungenjalo umsayineli wezimali okanye nokubayintoni ayiyo. Andinako ukumvotela ukuba angene kungenjaloaphume, libandla elimelwe kukwenza loo nto, kodwa enenenindizakuyizisa loo nto phambi kwebandla. Yabona, ngokubalilo elimelwe kukwenza into. Nantso into endimelwe kukubayiyo njengomveleli, ndimelwe kukukhangela ndibone ukubakuqhubeka ntoni na. Siya eZulwini, asiyi nje apha kwindawoethile yomkhankaso okanye into ethile yolonwabo oluninzinokugudlana, sidlala ibhola yomnyazi. Silapha siphethe eyonanto inobungcwele ikhoyo ehlabathini, iLizwi likaThixo, yayelimelwe kukuphathwa ngocwangco lobuthixo.

Akamelwanga kukuba nayo nanto yakwenzakumadikoni, abasayineli bezimali, abalungiseleli, okanyenawuphi na ongomnye, unesikhundla esisesakhe. Nokubangubani na utishala wesikolo senu seCawe, andimazi.

77 Ndiyacinga ukuba oko kuyayiphendula le mibuzo mihlanungaloo nto.

Ngoku olandelayo, uthi:Mzalwana Branham, ngokubhekiselele kucwangcoenkonzweni, sizamile kangangoko ngendlela esiqondangayo imiyalelo eyakhutshwa ekunikezelwenikusikelelwe le nkonzo intsha. Ngokwenza njalo ke,abanye baye banomsindo balishiya ibandla. Abanyeabafuni kuphulaphula nenye into esiyithethayo,ingakumbi abantwana. Siye sathetha nabazali malunganabantwana babo, baze ababakhathalela. Ngoku, ingabaikho into esingayiqondanga? Okanye, siyiqhuba ngendlelaengafanelekanga? Enkosi.

Ezinyezezinto esingafuni kuzenza, izinto endingathandiyo ukuzenza,kodwa zizinto ezimelwe kukwenziwa. Yaye ndiyazibhengezangokunixelela apha ekhasethini, ndim, banokundiva ndithethabazi ukuba ndim, ingenini madoda. Nibuze mna le mibuzo,yaye ndininika okona kungcono ndikwaziyo ngokuphumaeLizwini likaThixo.82 “Ngoku, ukuba aba bantu baba nomsindo baphumebemnke kuni, sithini iSibhalo ngaloo nto, MzalwanaBranham?”83 “Baphuma kuthi ngokuba babengengabo abethu.” Ipheleleke apho. “Balishiya ibandla,” benza loo nto. Kulungile.

Abanye abafuni kumamela kwanto siyithethayo,ingakumbi abantwana.

84 Abantwana bamelwe kukuba baqeqesheke, bamelwekukuyifumana ekhaya loo nto. Kodwa nokuba ngowam kanye,abantwana bam bayangena apha naxesha nini na, bazebangabikho kucwangco, andifuni ukuba nenzelelelenakancinane; uSarah, uRebekah, uJoseph, uBilly, okanyenokuba ngubani na. Xelelani mna, ndizakuyilungisa. Ukubaabanasimilo, ngoko bayakuhlala bangezi enkonzweni badebafunde ukuziphatha kakuhle. Ayilobala lemidlalo eli, yindlukaThixo le. Asiyondawo yokudlala le, nokwenza umtyibilizi,nokubhala iziqwengana, nokuhleka, nokundweba kuhlekiswa,yindlu kaThixo le, yaye imelwe kukuqhutywa ngokungcwele.85 Niza apha ukuza kukhonza, anizanga nokuza kubaziindwendwe.

Umelwe kukuba ne_nesiqwenganaesibhaliweyo sasayinwa esivela kulowo ubambe ilungelolokuthengisa, lokwenza nokuthengisa amakhasethi, ngokubangoko ukhululekile emthethweni; kuba ukuba akayenzangaloo nto, laa ndoda inelungelo lokuthengisa kuwo^Ungabauzibeka ityala ngokwakho kwi^Ukuba kukho u_umntuonentlondi obefuna ukudala inkathazo, angayenza ngeneneloo nto.

Sisohlwayo esikhulu ukwenzainto enjalo.112 Ngoko ukuba abantu benza amakhasethi, mhlawumbibanesivumelwano esivela kuMnumzana Maguireo_onalo^o_ofumana imirhumo kula makhasethi. Kengoku^yaye andazi mna ngaloo nto, kuba andihlali thubalide nani apha ukuze ndazi ukuba zezikabani na ezi zinto,nokuba zibhekiselela kubani na. Ndiyaqonda ukubanguMnumzana Maguire osalibambileyo, ngokuba phayangaphandle, ndiseCalifornia okanye e-Arizona, kulaphondikhoyo, yaye ndiyaqonda ukuba bawathenga eCaliforniaamakhasethi. NguMzalwana Sothmann, uyisezala kaMzalwanaMaguire, ongumzalwana wethu apha ebandleni. Ndiyacingaukuba uMnumzana Maguire usenalo, i_ilungelo lobuninikuwo.113 Ke ngoku, kubekho izikhalazo malunga nokwenziwakwamakhasethi. Ngoku, xa kukho isikhalazo kuyo nantoni na

esingisele kwezezimali zeli bandla, yingxaki yabasayinelibezimali ukubona ukuba loo nto ilungisiwe. Yabona?Akumelwanga, nakanjani, ukuba kubekho nto.

Ngoku niyabona apha, itsho apha kweli khadi, ukuba.Babhalela i-ofisi bekugxeka.

114 Ngeliphandle, ndineencwadi zaloo nto, yaye ndifuna ukubaniyazi ukuba kutheni na bengenakufumana awabo njeamakhasethi. Ngoku niyasazi esenu isivumelwano nalowounelungelo lokuthengisa, ngokuqonda kwam^Amakhasethi,a_andifuni nto yakwenza nawo, okwam, ukuba umntuunokuwasebenzisa amakhasethi ekuhambiseni iVangeli,“Amen!”115 Kodwa, kuqala, uMzalwana Roberson nabanye ngaboabaqalayo ukuwenza, uMzalwana Beeler neqela labo ngaboabaqala ukuwenza; yaze yangaba bafana babini, uMzalwanaMercier noMzalwana Goad, bawenza iminyaka emininzi;kwaye, kakade, xa ngamnye kuloo madoda ewenzile, kubekhoizikhalazo kuwo wonke umntu. Kodwa, apha kutshanje,kubekho isikhalazo esikhulu malunga nokungafumaniamakhasethi abo. Abantu banditsalele umnxeba kulo lonkeilizwe. Ukuze ke enye into, iyeyokuba, ngamakhasethianeendawo ezirhoxisiweyo. Badlala into ibenye ngomzuzuomnye, baze badlale baphinde enye into eyenye, uze ke ungabinako nokuqonda ukuba ziintoni na ezo.116 Ngoku, aba bantu bawahlawulelayo la makhasethi bameleukufumana ikhasethi elililo. Andikhathali nokubakunyanzelekile ukuba bawenze na, sifuna ukuba abathengibethu naBazalwana bethu (ingabo nje abathengi bethunaBazalwana), njalo njalo bamelwe kukufumana ikhasethi lo“Didi lo-1.” Ngoku, nina basayinela izimali yiqondeni loo nto,ukuba aba bantu bayaneliseka. Ukuba abanelisekanga, imaliyabo imelwe kukubuyiselwe kubo ngokukhawuleza okukhulu.117 Yaye kukho umntu onditsalele umnxeba, esithi kubeziinyanga ezininzi belindele amakhasethi. Ngoku, andazinokuba uMzalwana Maguire bayihoya njani na lento.A_Andazi nto malunga noko, njengoko ndingazinto malunganaloo nto. Yaye mna^Ayingomsebenzi wam ukwazi kwantongaloo nto, ngumsebenzi wakhe kunye nabo nabasayinelibezimali. Yaye andizami kungenelela, kodwa ndinixelela njeukuba uyintoni na umthetho waloo nto. Yabona? Umthethongowokuba la makhasethi, ukusukela ekuthumeleni kucelwawona, amakhasethi lawo amelwe kukuba sendleleni ngosukuolunye okanye ezimbini, ezintathu okanye ezine iintsukuezintlanu; emva kokuba bethumele bawacela amakhasethi,amelwe kukuba seposini kungenjalo isivumelwanosokuthengisa singacinywa naxesha nini na xa le miyaleloingathotyelwa. Yabona?

118 Ngoku, njalo ke ngeenyanga ezintandathu okanye unyaka,sona simelwe kukuhlaziywa, esi sivumelwano simelwekukuhlaziywa. Nimelwe kukuhlangana ngomhla othile elithieli lungelo lokuthengisa liwuchaze ukuba niyakuhlanganangawo. Kuze ke ngoko kunyanzeleke ukuba, ukuba, abanyeabantu bamelwe kukuza ngeloo xesha, yaye nimelwekukwazisa abanye abebenesicelo malunga namakhasethi, bezenezabo izivumelwano bahlale phantsi zixoxwe.119 Ngoku, le miyalelo mayenziwe ke! Yabona? Yaye imelwekukwenziwa ngendlela eyiyo, ngokuba kusisikhalazo.Bakhalaza kuLeo noGene, bakhalaza kuye wonke umntu,sisikhalazo kuMzalwana uMaguire, yaye iyakuba sisikhalazonakomnye umntu, kodwa masifumanise ukuba siyintoni naisikhalazo sabo.120 Ngoku, kodwa xa amakhasethi eqalisa ukufumba, iibhokisizawo, iincwadi zingena ngobuninzi, ukuze bona^Yabona, loonto ayibuyeli kumenzi wamakhasethi, ibuyela kum. Bandihluphanjalo ngaloo nto. Ngoku, luxanduva lwam njengoMkristuukubona ukuba aba bantu bayayifumana into abayihlawuleleyo,yaye ndifuna ukuba nina ma-trustee niqonde ukubabayawafumana. Ukuba bamelwe kukutsala enye imali, ukuzebafumane ikhasethi elingcono, kufumaneke umatshiniongongcono, sifuna ukuba kubekho umntu oyakulenza elookhasethi olenza ngendlela eyiyo. Nanko umdla wethu. Ikhasethimalenziwe ngendlela eyiyo! Aze umthengi aneliseke, kungenjalosiyimise yonke loo nto ngokupheleleyo, singabi namakhasethi,sivumele wonke umntu alenze ofuna ukulenza. Kodwa ukubabazakubiza imali ngawo, mabaqiniseke ukuba bafumana loo ntobayihlawuleleyo abantu, kuba buBukristu obo. Loo ntoayidlulanga ekwenzeni^121 Ke bakuza apha beza kuphulaphula iVangeli, ndifunaukubanika okona kungcono kolwazi lwam endinokubanika,yabona, yaye bakufika apha ndifuna ukuqiniseka ukubawonke umntu nayo yonke into iyaqhutywa. Naso isizathusokuba ndinixelele nina madikoni, basayineli bezimali,nabalungiseleli, apha ngokuhlwanje, ukuba nifanelwekukuyigcina ngokucokisekileyo lento, kuba abantu bayezabezokufumana uThixo, simelwe ke kukuba sizilungelelaniseezi zinto.122 Kananjalo amakhasethi makabekwe endaweni yawo.Ukuba bamelwe kukutsala imali ethe chatha, ukubaninamakhasethi odidi lwesibini aqhubekayo, ngoko fumananiawona angawo amakhasethi. Nokuba nimelwe kukutsala imaliethe chatha kubo, tsalani imali ethe chatha, makafumane loonto adliwe imali ngayo umntu.123 Andinamdla nakancinane kwimirhumo, nditsho nepenienye, ngokunjalo noMnquba awunamdla; andifuni ukuba nibe

Ndiyacinga ukuba loo nto ingathethwakuMnumzana Miller nabanye malunga nomthetho, simelwekukuthabatha imirhumo ethile okanye into enjalo. Ixhomekekekuni loo nto ukuyiqonda. Andisayi kuba nanto yakwenza nayokodwa into^Ihlanganiswe kakuhle, nize niyikhathalele ke.Andinako ukuhoya loo nto iyonke, ndinixelela nje indlelaemelwe ukuba yiyo nendlela emayiqhutywe ngayo. Ukuze^Kwaye niyaqonda, ndithe, “kunyanzelekile ukuba iqhutywe”!Ngoko sifuna ukuba iqhutywe ngokukuko lento.124 Ke ukuba kuye kwanyanzeleka ukuba nifumane umatshiniongcono onokuyiqhuba, ngoko fumanani loo matshini. Ukubakunyanzelekile^Ngoku, ndithe kubo, ndithe, “Yonke inko-^ukuseka amabandla endiyakuko entsimini, phambi kokubandihambe, ndiyakunazisa ukuba zintshumayelo zini na endiyakushumayela zona phaya ngaphandle, into eselendiyilungisile^” Ndaye ndinithembisile nonke, ukubandiyakuphinda ndiyishicilele ekhasethini ngokuhlwa ngeCawekwakhona, ukuze, “Phambi kokuba ndishumayele nawuphi naumyalezo omtsha, ube uphume usuka kulo Mnquba kuqala,ngokuba kukhangeleka ngathi banokona kushicilelakungcono.” Niyayikhumbula loo nto? Ngoko ndakufika aphaukuza kushumayela imiyalezo yam, ndiyakubuya ndiphumendazise indoda yamakhasethi ukuba zeziphi na iinkonzo.Bayandibuza, “Zeziphi? Yintoni oza kuyishumayela?”Ndimxelele, “yile ngokuhlwanje ndiyakuba kwethile-thile,ukuze ibe yile ngokuhlwanje ndikwethile-thile,” ukuze babenako ukuyenza ilungele abathengi ukuba bayifumane khonangoko; babe beyifumene ikubo, ikhasethi elingcono kunelobebenalo phaya ngaphandle enkonzweni, ngenxa yokubalenziwe kanye apha eMnqubeni apho isandi sivakala kakuhle.Yabona?125 Ngoku, ndizakungena koku kuvangela kukhulu, intoendiza kuyenza ngoku kwiindawo zaphesheya kolwandlenezinto ezinjalo, ndingathembisa ngaloo nto, uyabona,andinakuthembisa ukuba ndiza kushumayela umyalezo wamwokuqala apha. Ngokuba xa ushumayela ujikeleza, imiyalezo,kumelwe ukuba ube nento ethile ethi^I_Iyaphelelwa lixeshangaphakathi kuwe, yaye imelwe ukuba iphelelwe lixeshakwabo bayiphulaphuleyo. Umelwe kukuba uye kwenza intoeyahlukileyo, uyabona, uze uyizise kanye kulo Myalezouphaya. Kodwa ke mababeke umatshini phaya ngaphandleentsimini, okanye nokuba yintoni na, eyakuwathabathangokugqibeleleyo la makhasethi.126 Baze benze ikhasethi eligqibeleleyo, lize lonke ikhasethilidlalwe kwakhona lihlolwe phambi kokuba lihambe,

kungenjalo imiswe yonke loo nto; singabi nayo kwantoyakwenza nalo, umntu ngamnye azenzele elakhe ikhasethi.Yabona? Kodwa mayenziwe ngendlela eyiyo, yabona, ukuze esisikhalazo siphele. Asifuni zikhalazo konke. Ukuba kukhoisikhalazo, masisihoye, ngoko kube kuphelile ngazo.127 Ngoku, ndizakukhawulezisa ngokukhawuleza okukhulukangangoko ndinokuba nako. UBilly unamalunga nesibiniseminye imibuzo apha, okanye emithathu, size sibe sigqibile.

Kukangakanani, Mzalwana Branham, apho umdikonianokuma khona ukugcina ucwangco enkonzweni?Silugcine ucwangco okanye silindele uMzalwana Nevilleukuba asixelele emasikwenze?

128 Ayingomsebenzi kaMzalwana Neville lowo, ngumsebenziwenu. Yabona? Ayinini enixelela uMzalwana Nevilleamakashumayele ngako, ukuba makayishumayele njani na.Yabona, ngumsebenzi wenu, nina madikoni, nini enimelwekukwenza loo nto. Yihoyeni loo nto. Ayinanto yakwenzanoMzalwana Neville, ngumsebenzi wenu lowo. Yabona?129 Ngoku, ukuba ipolisa phaya ngaphandle esitratweni liboneindoda isiba into ngemva emotweni ethile, ingaba limelwekukutsalela umnxeba usodolophu, lithi, “Ngoku, Sodolophu,wena uHloniphekileyo, mhlekazi, ndisebenzela wena aphakulo mkhosi wamapolisa.

Yabona, loo ntoingayinto engekho ngqondweni. Akunjalo? Hayi, mhlekazi.Ukuba loo mntu wenza into engalunganga, mbambe.130 Yaye ukuba abantu benza into engalunganga aphaenkonzweni, okanye nabani na, mmise, thetha naye. Ungabikrwada; kodwa ukuba abamameli, thetha ngendlela ayakuthingayo azi ukuba uthini na. Yabona? Yabona, njengokuxelelaumntwana uthi, “Hamba phaya emva,” abe esenzangokungenambeko. Madikoni, thabathani indawo yenu!Bekani^Nibane, hlalani ababini ngaphambili nababiningasemva, kwezi kona okanye indawo ethile elolo hlobo.Nikhangelisise ngenene, iindlavini nayo yonke enye intoengena ngolo hlobo, uyabona.

Okokukuthi, ulipolisa, “Singakubonisa igumbi lokutshintshela?”Kungenjalo “Ungasifumana isihlalo?” “Singakunika iculookanye into ethile?” Okanye “Ngoku singathanda ukubawonwabe apha, u_uthandaze, si_siyavuya ukuba ube kunye

Bububele obo.132 Ipolisa (okanye idikoni) lilipolisa lasemkhosini kumkhosiothile, linononelelo, ukanti linegunya. Yabona? Niyazi ukubalinjani na ipolisa lasemkhosini, into eliyiyo ngenene, ukubaliqhuba okusemalungelweni alo, ndicinga ukuba lifananomphathi oyintloko nje. Uyabona? Kukukhathalela nayoyonke into, ukanti ke linegunya. Yabona, kufuneka uliqaphele.Yabona, libeka^Aba basebatsha baphuma phaya phandlebanxile, kuba, libafaka endaweni yabo. Linjalo nedikoniukubafaka endaweni yabo.133 Ngoku, khumbula, idikoni lipolisa, yaye isikhundlasedikoni eneneni sesona singqwabalala kunazo zonkeizikhundla ebandleni.

Injalo loo nto, ngokubali_linomsebenzi ngenene, yaye liyindoda yakwaThixo.Liyindoda yakwaThixo kanye njengokuba umlungiselelieyindoda yakwaThixo. Ngokuqinisekileyo, linjalo.Lingumkhonzi kaThixo.134 Ngoku abasayinela izimali, inye into, baphantsi koxanduvakuThixo ukuba bagade izimali bazihoye, izinto eziqhubekayongoloo hlobo. Ndinixelele malunga namakhasethi,na_namalunga nezinye izinto apha eziqhubekayo, malunganokulungiswa kwesakhiwo, nokuthatyathwa kwezimalinezinto ezinjalo, yiloo nto_yiloo nto abangabasayineli bayo:izinto ezizezebandla, izimali nezinto ezinjalo. Amadikoniakananto yakwenza naloo nto. Ngokunjalo na_nabasayinelaizimali abananto yakwenza nesikhundla sobudikoni.135 Ngoku, ukuba amadikoni afuna ukucela uncedolwabasayineli bezimali kuyo nantoni na, okanye_okanyeabasayinela izimali olwamadikoni, yaye nisebenzanonke^Kodwa ngumsebenzi wenu lowo, ukukhetha. Yabona?Kulungile.136 Ngoku, hayi, musani ukubuza kuMzalwana Neville. UkubauMzalwana Neville unicela ukuba nenze into ethile, ngokongu_ngumlungiseleli wenu lowo, ngokuhlonipha nothandokuyo yonke into^Ukuba uthe, “Mzalwana Collins, MzalwanaHickerson, Mzalwana Tony, okanye umntu othile, khaniboneukuba konakele ntoni na phaya ekoneni.” Ukuba kukhouxanduva lomsebenzi olunjalo, uyazi, njengendoda yeneneyakwaThixo.137 Khumbula, awusebenzeli Mnquba kaBranham,ungasebenzeli noMzalwana Neville kungenjalo mna,usebenzela uYesu Kristu.
