Na—nalolu wusuku lwesimo sezulu esishisayo kusoimpela isiqongo saso sokufudumala, sinamapesente cisheayikhulu omswakama nezinga cishe eliyikhulu, ngakhokunamathela kakhulu futhi kuyashisa.5 Futhi ngikhiphe kulokhu ukusa okwezinkonzo zokuphilisa,noma akusikho…Isizathu sokuba ngenze leyonkonzo“yokuphilisa,” ngoba ngifaka ukukholwa kwami kulokhoAkwethembisa.

Angazi noma ngabe banazoiziqophi ezenziwayo namanje zalokhu, noma qha. Kungakuhle.Awu, ngiqagele kulungile kowangaphandle, umphakathi ukubauzwe lokhu, yisicelo.

Uprofethile yini ukuthi kuzoba nesi—sigidi samanigroesibulawayo e…noma ukumemezelile yini nje ukuthi kuzobanalokhu ukwenzeka na?7 Manje, niyabo, bengihlala njalo nginicela ukubanikuqaphele enikulalelayo. Niyabo? Kunokuningi kakhuluokwakho ukuthi kuwuhlangothi lomuntu nje. Kodwa njalouma kunento ethize eyenzekayo, iyokukhuluma, “Kungu ISHOKANJE INKOSI,” ngisho nasemibonweni kumbe noma yini.Imibono emsamo, ezethamelini, uzenzela wena lokho; akusuyeuNkulunkulu, nguwe. Niyabo? UNkulunkulu akawuvezilowombono, uzenzela wena lokho, ngokukholwa kwakhoesiphiweni sobuNkulunkulu.8 Njengowesifazane wathinta ingubo yaKhe, Wayengamaziukuthi wayengubani noma yini eyayingalungile kuye, kodwawazenzela yena lokho. Niyabo? Manje, lowo kwakungesuyeu ISHO KANJE INKOSI. Kwakungu ISHO KANJE INKOSIngenkathi uJesu ekhuluma ephendula futhi wamtshela ukuthiukukholwa kwakhe kwakumsindisile. Kodwa, niyabo, ufaneleubhekisise.9 Qhabo, bengikhuluma nje ngoMartin Luther King,ngalenhlekelele enkulu abanayo eNingizimu, naba—bantuabangamakhaladi. Ngathi, “Uma labobantu babeyizigqila,bengiyothatha ibandla lami futhi ngiye eningizimuukuba ngibasize labobantu baphume ebugqilini.” Impelabengiyokwenza, ngoba umuntu wenza izigqila, hhayiuNkulunkulu. Sonke singabegazi-linye. Sonke sivela emthiniowodwa, nalokho kwakuvela ku Adamu. UNkulunkulu,ngagazi-linye, wenze izizwe zonke. Futhi noma ngabe thina,

Abantuabangamakhaladi unezikole ezinhle, ngezinye izikhathiezingcono kakhulu kunezinye izikole. Futhi, isibonelo nje,eShreveport banezikole ezinhle kunoma esabamhlophe sinjalo.Kodwa ngumqondo womuny’umuntu ebagqugquzela ukuthibafanele bahambe futhi bazixubanise ndawonye. Okungukuthi,ngicabanga ukuthi lokho kungakuhle, kodwa inqobo nje umaabantu bekubhikishela, labobantu bangaseningizimu, manje-kekwenza mehluko muni empeleni na?11 Futhi ngicabanga ukuthi uMartin Luther Kingugqugquzelwa ngubuKhomanisi, obuzoholela cishe abantuabayisigidi ogibeni lokufa uqobo. Niyabo? Angisho ukuthiiNkosi yangitshela lokho. “Ngi” yakholwa, niyabo. Futhingikholwa ukuthi akufanele kwenziwe. Ngicabanga ukuthiabantu bafanele babe ngamaKristu futhi bazisane omunyenomunye njengabafowabo. Futhi, kodwa ngicabanga ukuthigoba nje…12 LeUnited States, lohulumeni manje ungitshela ukuthingeke ngisho ngasayina isheke e—eli…linikwa mina qobolwami. Niyabo?

engiyikho, futhi angikaze ngibe namahloni ngakho, kodwa, kuzekwaba kulokhu ukusa.” Kodwa wathi, “Uma nginibona, bantubakithi, niziphatha kanje,” wathi, “khona-ke nginamahloningokuba yindoda eyikhaladi.” Kwakukhona ababuthelwe impiababizwayo, bammpongolozela ukuba ahlale phansi.14 Ngakho elinye elikahle, elifundile, inenekazi eliyikhaladielibukeka kahle lasukuma, linobuhlakani, he, elinobukhulu.Lathi, “Into yokuqala, angifuni ukuba abantwana bamibafundiswe ngowesifazane ongumlungu.”

Bathi, “Ngani?”15 Lathi “Ngenxa yokuthi akayikubakhathalela abantwanabami ukuthi okwami…uthisha oyikhaladi ubeyobakhathalela.”Lase lithi, “Bukani izikole zethu ngapha. Nimpongolozela ini?”Lathi, “Sinamadamu okubhukuda nayo yonke into ezikolenizethu, futhi abanakho ngapho.” Lathi, “Manje, nina bantunimpongolozela ini?” Futhi balimpongolozela ukuba lihlalephansi, niyabo.16 Kugqugquzelwa yinto engalungile, niyabo, bonani, bona,labobantu. Futhi yingalesosizathu ngisho lokho, kungesikhoukuthi kukhona noma yisiphi—yisiphi isiprofetho esimayelananakho. Anginalutho ngakho oluvela eNkosini. Futhi qinisekanimanje, uma ngisho noma yini evela eNkosini enjengaleyo, ukubanginitshele, njalo ku…Ngiyakhuluma manje. Kodwa umaIkhuluma, ngithi “Akusimi, ngu ISHO KANJE INKOSI.” Futhingeke ngakusho Ize ingitshele. Bengingaba nephutha ngakhokonke emcabangweni wami ngoMartin Luther King. Angazi,ngeke ngasho. Lowo ngumbono wami nje. Noma yini equbulainkathazo, yilokho okufanele kube njalo ngezinsuku zokugcina.Futhi konke kugqugquzelwa nguSathane, ukuhlakazainhlanganisela yethu yamazwe aziphetheyo phansi kombusomunye nanoma yini esinayo, noma yini equbuka kanjalo.Ngakho ngingowalabobantu ezansi lapho, ningacabangi nezeukuthi anginjalo. Ngi—ngingowenkululeko nowayo yonkeinto, kodwa abantu akanaso lesosimo phansi kwamanje.Kodwa okuzokwenza, ngikholwa ukuthi kuzoqala omunyeumbhedukazwe uma umuntu mumbe engakumisi. Niyabo,ngamaKhomanisi esebenza phakathi kwalabobantu.17 NgangiseAfrika ngenkathi benze into efanayo. Niyabo?Futhi ngiyazi kwakunamaKhomanisi angena lapho etshelalabobantu abangamakhaladi, “O, niyi lokhu, lokho, nomaokunye. Niyi lokhu, lokho noma okunye.” Nento yokuqalaniyazi, kwabangela izinkulungwane zabo ukuba zibulawe. Futhibafinyelela kuphi na? Ndawo, niyabo, ndawo.18 Futhi ngi—ngiyayithanda impilo yobuntu. Asikhonze iNkosi.UMbuso wethu uPhezulu; akukho olutho ngalento lapha.Inqobo nje uma sidla, siphuze, futhi singaba nakho, yini enye

eniyifunayo na? Niyabo? Ngakho ngiyazi ukuthi bekungaba yini.Ngi—ngiyaqonda ukuthi nje kubangela inkathazo.

Manje, omunye umbuzo ulapha.UJohane umBhaphathizi, ngenkathi ehlangana noJesu,

uyabo, Washoloni ukuthi, “Kanjalo kusifanele ukugcwalisaukulunga konke”? Kwakuchazani na?19 Awu, ngikhumbula uDr. Roy Davis, u—u—umngani wamioqondene nami, owangibhaphathiza isikhathi kuphela engakengabhaphathizwa ngaso. Futhi wathi uJohane wayechaza,ngiyakukhumbula lokhu esikoleni sabo, wathi, “UJohanewayaziukuthi wayengakaze abhaphathizwe, qobo lwakhe, ngakho u…Jesu. UJohane wavumela uJesu ukuba ambhaphathize.” Awu,lokho, ngi—ngiyehluka ku—kudokotela omkhulu lapho.20 Kungesikho ukuphikisana, kodwa ngenxa yeQinisongingahle ngisho lokhu. Qhabo, kwakunendoda amabili, abaholiababili behora, uMesiya nomprofethi waKhe bahlanganaemanzini. Manje khumbulani, uJohane wayengabhaphathizelikukho ukuthethelelwa kwezono, kodwa kukho ukuphenduka.Kungesikho ukuthethelelwa kwezono, ngoba umnikelowawungakenziwa nokho, niyabo, kwakungekho-Mhlatshelo.NoMhlatshelo uza kuye emanzini. Manje qaphelani. UJohaneebheka phezulu futhi ebona uJesu, wathi, “Yimi engiswelaukubhaphathizwa nguWe. Futhi Uzelani kimi na?”21 UJesu wathi, “Vuma kalokhu,” okungukuthi kwakuyikho.“Vuma kalokhu, ngokuba kusifanele, noma kufanele thina,ukugcwalisa ukulunga konke.” Kwase kuthi-ke uJohane,engumprofethi oZwi leNkosi liza kuye, liza kuphelakumprofethi. UJohane, engumprofethi, waqonda ukuthi lowokwakunguMhlatshelo. Futhi ngokoMthetho, ukuthi umhlatshelowawufanele ugezwe ngaphambi kokuba wethulwe, futhiyingalesosizathu aMbhaphathiza. Niyabo? Wathi, “Kanjalokusifanele ukugcwalisa ukulunga konke.” UMhlatshelo,Ayeyiwo, ufanele ugezwe emcengezini ngaphambi kokubawethulelwe umhlatshelo. NoJesu wayenguMhlatshelo; noJohanewayekwazi, futhi wayazi ukuthi Ufanele agezwe ngaphambikokuba ethulwe. Kwase kuthi-ke masinya kamuva, Wethulwaemphakathini ukuba avivinywe futhi wayenguMhlatshelo wayoyonke impilo yesintu. INkosi ikubusise.22 Manje sizoba noMlayezo omfishane omncane, futhisethemba iNkosi ukuthi izosipha izibusiso zaYo. Manje,mhlawumbe, uma ngibuya…Ngihamba kuleliviki elizayoukuthatha abantwanyana baye eholidini elincane phezuluemagqumeni. Bese kuthi-ke uma ngi—uma ngibuya ngesikhathi,sifuna ukukhuluma ngeSonto elizayo ekuseni, uma kuvumekakuNkulunkulu nakumelusi lapha. Sizonazisa ngalelivikingokuqhubeka, nina eningaphandle kwedolobha, ngendlelayencwadi. Ngifuna ukukhuluma ngendaba yokuthi ngempela

kungani sikholwa yizinto esizikholwayo ngoKristu, kunganikufanele kube ngalendlela futhi kungeke kwaba ngenyeindlela. Niyabo? Futhi sikufakazise ngemiBhalo. Manje, umaiNkosi ithanda. Uma ngingakwenzi, ngizozama ukunibonangalobubusika noma ngehlobo elizayo, okukodwa, uma sibuya,uma iNkosi ilibala. Sibuyela manje ekhaya eArizona, ukuzesikwazi ukufaka abantwana esikoleni.23 Manje, kulokhu ukusa, nje ngaphambi kokubakube ngumkhuleko wabagulayo, sizofunda amanye eZwilikaNkulunkulu. Okungukuthi, siyazi ukuthi ngaphandlekwaleliZwi, akunakwenzeka, akukho okungenziwa. FuthiyiZwi kuphela elingaveza lezizibusiso esizicelela abagulayonabadingayo. Futhi ngifuna ukufunda amanye manje kuPetruwokuQala, isahluko 5, ngiqale ngevesi 1. Bese kuba-keseNcwadini yamaHeberu, ngifuna ukufunda amaHeberu 2:2-4.

Ngakho ngiyawancenga amalunga aphakathi kwenu,mina engiyilunga kanye nawo, nofakazi wenhluphekozikaKristu, nomhlanganyeli wenkazimuloezakwambulwa ngithi:Yalusani umhlambi kaNkulunkulu ophakathi

kwenu, niwubonise, kungabi-ngokucindezelwa, kodwangokwentando; kungabi-ngenxa yenzuzo eyihlazo,kodwa ngenhliziyo evumayo;Kungabi-njengabazenza amakhosi phezu kwamafa

kaNkulunkulu, kodwa nibe-yizibonelo zomhlambi.Kuyakuthi nxa esebonakaliswa uMalusi omkhulu,

niyakuzuza umqhele wenkazimulo ongabuniyo.Ngokunjalo, nina-basha, thobelani amalunga.

Kepha, nonke yembathani ukuthobeka nithobelane,futhi ningembathi…nambathe ukuthobeka:ngokuba uNkulunkulu umelana nabazidlayo, kephaabathobekileyo ubapha umusa.…zithobeni phansi kwesandla sikaNkulunkulu

esinamandla, ukuze aniphakamise ngesikhathiesifaneleyo:Niphonse izinkathazo zenu zonke phezu kwakhe;

ngokuba uyanikhathalela.24 KumaHeberu, isahluko 2, sifunda lamaZwi. Manjengidonsela ukunikezela indikimba, “ukuphonsa inkathazoyenu.” Ngi…Indikimba yami ingukuthi: UyaKhathalela.NiyaKhathalela na? Ngifuna ukufunda lengxenye manje,nisaphenya kumaHeberu 2, ukuze nibone i—incazeloyangempela yalamaZwi, ukuthi ayini, ukuthi lendikimbaichazani.

Ngalokho kakhulu nga siqaphelisisa esikuzwileyo,funa mhlawumbe sikhukhulwe.

Ngokuba uma izwi elakhulunywa ngezingelosi a—laqiniseka, nakho konke ukuphambuka nokungalalelikwaphindiselwa ngokufaneleyo;Thina siyakuphunyuka kanjani, uma sidebesela

25 Ngifuna ukusebenzisa indaba lapha, yokuthi,“Uyakhathalela.” Futhi, “Niyakwenza na?” Ngenkathi Elaphaemhlabeni, Wayebakhathalela abantu. Umcabango wakhouvuka emqondweni wami ngaphambi nje kokuba ngikhulumenoma ngikhulekele abagulayo, ngingazi nje ukuthi hlobo lunilo—lomugqa womkhuleko esizoba nalo.26 Kuqala, nokusondela kulokhu, izethameli zifanelezigcotshwe ngokukholwa. Nina, uma ningenakho ukukholwa,khona-ke akukho si—sidingo sokuza ngisho ukubanizokhulekelwa, ngoba kuzothatha ukukholwa kwenunokukholwa kwami ndawonye; ukukholwa kwami ukubangiMkholwe, ukukholwa kwenu ukuba niMkholwe. Ngakhoasikukhohlwa lokhu manje njengoba ngihambisana. Sizofanelesibe nento ethize ngokusobala, enobufakazi obubonakalayo,ngiqonde lokho, esingasekela ukukholwa kwethu phezukwalokho esizama ukukwenza. Imbangela uma umuntuesondela kunoma yini afuna ukuyenza, ngaphandle kokukholwaokwenele, ubophezelekile ukuba abe yisehluleki. Kodwauma engasondela kukho ngokukholwa okwenele, khona-keubophezelekile ukuba aphumelele uma kuhambisana nentandokaNkulunkulu nenhloso ukukwenza.27 Manje, bengicabanga ngaYe ekhathalela. Izolo kusihlwa,ngandlela-thize, ngokuxakile, ngiholwe nguMoya oNgcwele.Ngenkathi bengilindele abanye abafo ukuba beze bazosizauMfowethuWood ukuba bamise i—inqola edonswayo abeyakhilekwingemuva letrakhi yakhe. Angazanga ukuthi kunganibengizama ukuthola umngane wami olungileyo, uMfowethuEvans, ngase ngihamba, ngaqala ukwenyuka ngomgwaqoomkhulu. Okungukuthi, umkami nomndeni behlezi emuva laphaukwazi kuyiqiniso. Futhi ngandlela-thize, ngokuxakile, ngijikilengase ngibuyela endaweni, ihhotela labashayeli abahambangezimoto.28 Futhi, o, kuyixhuxhumise kanjani inhliziyo yami ukubonaabaningi kangaka babangani bami bebuthene lapho cisheesikhathini esiyimizuzu emibili, kwaze kwavimba indlelayezinyawo, izimoto azabe zisakwazi ukwedlula, abangani

bangempela nje, beshayela amakhulu amamayela, bevelaeGeorgia naseTennessee naseAlabama, namacala onke, nje u—ukuzwa inkonzo. Manje-ke lowomcabango ufika emqondweniwami, “Manje-ke ngifanele ngithini kulabobantu, ngazi ukuthingoSuku lokwaHlulelwa ngiyodingeka ngiphendule ngalokhoengibatshela khona na?” Futhi nami ngi—ngingumthandiwalokhu ukuphila okukhulu okuzayo, futhi ngi—ngifuna ukubalapho.29 Kwase kuthi-ke ngokuxakile ngaya endaweni laphoengenze khona ijika eliyinqaba. Esikhundleni sokujikangapho, ngenyuka ukuba ngenze ijika. Amalambu akhanyiseizithandani ezithandekayo ngaphandle, amanenekazi amabiliasemasha akahle ebengisanda kuwashadisa nje nabefundisiababili abasebasha abakahle. Futhi uSathane, emva kokubaesebone u—umfundisi, omunye wabo inkonzo yakhe ihlelwafuthi wathatha u—ukuphila kwesithandwa khona lapha,leli ialtare. Bahamba ngokujabula eholidini labo labasandakushada, ne—nesitha sagxumela lensizwa. Futhi ngisho lokhuukuzwakalisa engikushoyo, “Uyakhathalela na?” Ngandlela-thize, ngokukholwa okungemthathe u “qhabo,” bajika basebebuyela lapha, bazi ukuthi emva kokuba base bengaleya e(le empumalanga) lapha ndawondawo eholidini labo labasandakushada, babuya futhi ubehlezi, elindile. Ngase ngingena, ekahleinsizwa ebukekayo; umkayo ehlezi ngaphandle, ekhala, yenanesithandwa sabo esincane. Nenye indoda nomunye umfowethubeza, begijima, ongumngane walensizwa, ethi, “O, MfowethuBranham, kwenzeke ukuthi no kuthi.”30 Ngaya lapho futhi ngabona lensizwa ebukekayo ihlezilapho, nje isesiqongweni sokuphila kwayo, umholi wezinsizwa,ihlezi lapho, noSathane wayibopha. Ayizange iqaphele, kodwangathatha isandla sami (sokunxele), ukuba ngixhawulanenesandla sayo (esokudla), ukuba ngibone uma isifo esithizesiyihluphile. Kodwa kwakungekho-nkomba yokudikiza.Ngiphuma ngqo ekamelweni ekukhulekeni nasekuzileni,futhi ngilindele eNkosini, ugcobo lukaMoya oNgcwelelwalulapho, futhi yingakho Wasihola, niyabo. Kwase kuthi-ke ngibona lelithunzi lobumnyama phezu kwayo. Angizangengikusho engangikwenza. Kodwa ngaphansi kwesikhathisemizuzwana ethi ayibe mibili kwakungasekho konke,ukubanda kwezandla zayo kwase kusukile, yayimemeza futhiidumisa uNkulunkulu, imizuzu embalwa ukuzithola yona. Futhilapha bahlezi khona lapha kulokhu ukusa, behlezi ezethamelini.Niyabona ukuthi uSathane wayezama kanjani ukuphathakabi leyonsizwa, ngokubhekisela kuyo ngokunye ukuzenyezaukuba kubuye kwakheke, uMoya oNgcwele owawukwazi,futhi ngikubone ngombono weNkosi. Kodwa uNkulunkuluwayikhathalela leyondoda. UNkulunkulu wamkhathalelalowomfana osemncane.

31 Kufika nje emizuzwaneni embalwa edlule, i—inenekazi,ngilibona lihlezi lapha esikhaleni sezihlalo, lingenakho…nje lizitholele isihlalo ngenye indlela, lase lihlala phansi.Lathi, “Iminyaka eyisishiyagalolunye, Mfowethu Branham,ngizame ukukuthola.” Lase lithi, “Ngishisekele kakhulu!Ngilapha kuleyithi, futhi angikwazanga ngisho nokutholaikhadi lomkhuleko ukuba ngibe semgqeni.”32 UBilly, kusobala, kuyizinhlelo zakhe ukubona ukuthiangikhathazwa, angingenise angikhiphe. Ningazizwa l’khuningoBilly, uyalwa yilesisigungu sabaphatheli ukuba enze lokho.Futhi uma engenzanga, bengingekwazi ukufinyelela emgqeniwomkhuleko, ngingene lapha. Niyakuqonda lokho. Niyabo,kuzofanele kube nenqubo kunoma yikuphi esikwenzayo. Si—sifanele sibe nayo, niyabo. Kodwa yena ethi, “Woza, babayi,shesha,” lokhu.33 Inenekazi lahlehla. Lase lithi, “Mfowethu Branham, izwi njenawe.” Limi lapho, umbono wabhobokela phezu kwalentombiebukeka ikahle, futhi ibona ukuthi inhliziyo yayo yayithwele.Futhi yayizama ukusebenzela ukuziphilisa. Futhi i—intoenkulu yenzeka emuva, emuva le ngesikhathi sabazali bayo,eyayibangele lento enkulu ukuba yenzeke kuyo, neNkosiuJesu yaYembula futhi yabonisa ukuthi kwakuyini.

Imisebenzi eNgiyenzayo minanani niyakuyenza, nxa Ephezu kwenu.” Niyabo, Uyoduduzangendlela efanayo, ngokuthethelela zonke izono zethu, ephilisazonke izigulo zethu, futhi ekhuluma kithi ngenduduzo yoMbusoozayo. Niyabo, ezifakazela uqobo lwaKhe phakathi kwethu,njengoba uNkulunkulu wazifakazela uqobo lwaKhe phakathikwethu ngoJesu Kristu. Futhi ku—kuThimothewu II…Thimothewu I 3:16, kulotshwe ngalendlela, yazi ngoNkulunkulu,“Kuvunyiwe ukuthi siyaqonda ukuthi inkulu imfihlakaloyokukhonza, ngokuba uNkulunkulu wabonakaliswa enyameni.”Sabona uNkulunkulu enyameni. Leyo kwakuyinduduzokaNkulunkulu, ukwazi ukuthi Ufika kakhulu ngangokuthi(Wasikhathalela) uze Abe ngomunye wethu. UNkulunkuluwabonakaliswa enyameni. Kungesuye nje omunye umuntu,kodwa uNkulunkulu uqobo lwaKhe!41 Futhi manje ukukwenza esinye isinyathelo sisondelekakhudlwana, Uthumela uMoya oNgcwele ukuba akhathaleleizinduduzo zethu, futhi Uhlala kithi. O, Uyakhathalela!42 Manje sifanele siqhubekele kwenye ingxenye yomBhalolapha, noma omunye umcabango ukwesekela lokhu. Ngaphambikokuba ngihambe, ngingasho lokhu: wonk’umuntu akanayeloMduduzi. Bona, abana, abanaYo. Ngakho isizathu bengenaYo,yingoba abaYivumi. Ingeyabo, kodwa abaYivumi. Manje,ngithemba ukuthi ningabakamoya ngokwenele uku—ukufunda engikushoyo. Niyabo? Ngikhuluma eqenjini labantuelizokhulekelwa emizuzwini embalwa. Futhi sinaleNduduzokuMoya oNgcwele othunyelwa ukuba nguMduduzi, kodwabonke abantu abayikukwemukela Lokho. Abakholelewa kuKho.Niyabo? Bona, ukuze benze lokho, khona-ke baqoqa induduzoyabo kwelinye icebo elithize, noma ezinye izindlela ezithize.Uma bengamvumi uMduduzi ohlinzekwe nguNkulunkulu,khona-ke bazodingeka bathole omunye umduduzi othize,niyabo, ngoba ungeke waphila ngaphandle kwento ethize ukubauyiphilele.43 Futhi ngithemba ukuthi ngamunye wenu uyakuthola lokho,ikakhulukazi nina bantu ozokhulekelwa, ongaduduzekilekakhulu kulokhu ukusa, mhlawumbe ngezinkathazo odokotelaabangezithinte.44 Futhi siyakholwa ukuthi odokotela basiza abantu.Ngiyakholwa ukuthi uNkulunkulu uphilisa ngomuthi.UNkulunkulu uphilisa ngesejari.

Manje, kodwa abakwenzi, ngoba ngezinye izikhathibayenqatshelwa ukuthatha izimo ezithize phezu kweZwilikaNkulunkulu, ngoba amahlelo abo athize alibavumeli ukubabenze lokho. Kodwa lokho akulimisi iQiniso, kuyafana nje,UNkulunkulu uqhubeka nokuphilisa ngokufanayo nje.45 Ngakho bazama ukudonsa induduzo kwamanye amaceboathize. Asikhulume kuqala ngomphefumulo.46 Sithola ukuthi abantu abaningi bazama ukuthola induduzongokuphuza. Niyazi, sinesisho esaziwa kahle kakhulu phakathikwethu namhlanje, ukuthi—ukuthi abefundisi abaningibayaphuza ngesinye isikhathi ngaphambi kokuba baye epulpiti,bathatha u—u—utshwala obunzima bokudakisana. Bekwaziwaukubona abefundisi emsamo, bediyazela ngisho bephansikophuzo oludakisayo. Nalokho—lokho bekungafanele kubenjalo. Akufanele kube njalo. Yingoba izikhathi eziningisingahle siyigxeke indoda nxa mhlawumbe besingafanelesikwenze lokho, besifanele sithole emuva ukuthi yini inkathazo.Abaningi babo baphenduka ophuzweni. Futhi siyathola, umabekulesosimo, kuyihlazo nento edumazayo.

Qaphelani, kulenhlalo yabantu, abantuusefike endaweni yokuthi ba—babanokuhlalisana okuncanenabozalo, futhi bangena lapho futhi bacabange, “Singconokuneqembu elilandelayo.” Niyabo? Futhi khona, kwenziwangaleyondlela nje. Futhi ngubuqotho bokuziphatha, kushayaubuqotho bokuziphatha babantu kwaze kwathi, qiniso,bangani, angikholwa ngisho nokuthi (izwe) igama “ubuqothobokuziphatha” liyaqondakala phakathi kwamapesenteangamashumi ayisishiyagalolunye abantu balesisizwe. Abazingisho nokuthi yini (izwe) igama “ubuqotho bokuziphatha”lichaza ukuthini. Li—libeqile.

Unenqwaba yesikhathi, ngakhouvele nje agijime kancanyana phakathi lapha nakancanyanaphakathi lapha futhi, into yokuqala niyazi, abantu kancanekancane nje bagudlukela kukho. Kwakuyokwenzekaningowesifazane, emuva ngenkathi ngisengumfana oneminyakaeyishumi nesithupha ubudala, ukuba wayehle ngesitaladinjengoba enza namhlanje ekulesisimo sokuhlubula izingubona? Ngani, babeyomfaka ejele. Awu, uma kwakungalungilengalesosikhathi, akulungile manje. Niyabo? Kodwa, niyabo,uSathane uqala nje ukunquma iziketi, nokuzehlisa, futhi—futhikuyofezeka ukuthi kunomuntu oyosika ingqephu yesisodwasedlule kancane imikini noma ibikini, noma niyibiza ngokuthiniinto, siye ekubeni yiqabunga lomkhiwane.

Uma uza ealtae futhi ukhumbula ukuthiubufanele, uhambe ulungise lokho kuqala, ngaphambikokuba unikele ngesipho sakho. Ngakho ngifanele ngiyekuye. Ngiyakholelwa ekuvumeni kuyaqondisa futhi. Akusikhoukuvuma okuqinisileyo ngaphandle uma kunjalo.64 Ukuba-ke bengithe manje, “Ngizokuvuma, ukuthi ngenzeiphutha, ngithi, ‘Nkosi elungileyo, O Mngani wami, Uyaziukuthi ngiKwazi kahle ngempela. Akadunyiswe uNkulunkulu!Haleluya! Ngi—ngi—ngi—ngicabanga ukuthi UnguMfo omdalaolungileyo. Ngithethelele. Uyazi, omdala, Mngani omdala,bengi—ngingakuqondile ngaleyondlela’”? Niyabo?65 Manje, wena uthi, “Lokho kungukuthuka okungcwele.”Kuyikho. Ukwenza ukuvuma okunjalo, kuyikho.66 Kodwa uma-ke ngihamba ngithi, “Nkosi, bengi—ngingaqondile ukukwenza ngaleyondlela nje, futhi Wena ngisizefuthi ngeke ngisakwenza futhi”? Uzowala umhlatshelo wamingize kuqala ngihambe ngikulungise lokho nomkami.67 Manje-ke uma-ke ngiza kuye ngokungenhloniphoyokuzithoba efanayo, bese ngithi, “Awusho, ntomb’endala,mngani wami omdala, mama omdala wabantwana bami,nesithandwa esidala, uyazi besingoshomi abadala isikhathi

Futhi uthini ngakho, mntwanyanaomdala, ubungangithethelela na?”68 Sengathi ngiyabona ukuthi ubeyobuka kanjani.Ubeyocabanga, “Kwenzenjani kumyeni wami?” Niyabo? Manje,into yokuqala, ubengeke azi noma ngabe bengimncokolisakumbe noma ngabe bengingenjalo.69 Futhi awuhambi ngaleyondlela ukwenza ukuvuma kumfowakini noma uNkulunkulu. Uya ngezinjulo zobuqotho,ngokudabuka kokumesaba uNkulunkulu ngesono sakho.Kuqala, ufanele uzisole. Ngifanele ngimtshele, “S’thandwa,woza lapha, kungahle kuchaze konke ukuphila kwethusishadile. Owesifazane engiphila naye, oyis’thandwa sami,futhi ngikuthande kangaka yonke leminyaka. Kodwa manjeungahle ungishiye, kusukela kulokhu kuqhubeke, ungahleungahlali nami, ungahle ungangivumi. Futhi ngiyakwazi lokho.Kodwa nokho, ukukulungisa, ngifanele ngilungise.” Ngifanelengimtshele ngezinjulo zenhliziyo yami.70 Khona-ke ngifanele ngitshele uNkulunkulu indlelaefanayo. Futhi ngibatshele bobabili yena noNkulunkulu,ngobuqotho, ukuthi angeke ngiphinde ngikwenze futhi,ngomusa kaNkulunkulu. Niyabo? Ungavele nje ngempela…Manje, ngingahle ngikwazi ukukubeka phezu kwakhe,futhi a (niyabo?) ngeke akubone. Mhlawumbe inkulumoyami kuye ibinga—ibingamkholekisa, kodwa inkulumo yamiayiyikumkholekisa uNkulunkulu. Ubuka enhliziyweni yamifuthi Uyazi. Futhi empeleni, eminye futhi iminyaka embalwa njenginaye, uma uNkulunkulu evuma, futhi sizokhishwa kulelizwe.Kodwa ukuba noNkulunkulu, yiPhakade, ngakho ngifanelengibe qotho ngokujulile noNkulunkulu. Bese kuthi-ke umangiqotho, Uyongizwa. Kodwa uma ngingeqotho, asikho isidingokimi ngichitha isikhathi sikaNkulunkulu engilalele.71 Futhi yilapho okufika khona namhlanje, phakathikwabantu, lapho akubonakali kuyizinjulo zobuqotho a—abebefanele babenazo.72 Futhi ngikholwa ukuthi owesilisa noma owesifazane abezelaukukhulekelwa, bafanele kuqala bavume yonke into abayenzile,futhi balungise yonke into.

Abantu, umbono uyokwenzeka, kusobala,ngokukholwa kwabo, uNkulunkulu wakwethembisa lokhongesiphiwo. Kodwa ukuphiliswa kuyinto ethize ehlukile, niyabo;uNkulunkulu uyakuvuma-ke, niyabo.73 Manje, siyaqaphela, lokho ngukuthi, abantu benza ukuvumakwabo, uzofanele eze ngenjulo yobuqotho. Nginakho lapha,anginaso isikhathi sokukufunda, kodwa kuseBinghamton,

eNew York, ngiyakholwa. Noma, nginakho ngokungesikholokho na? Ya, iBinghamton, ngikholwa ukuthi kuyikho. Indawolapho iNkampani yeziCathulo iEndicott ekhona. IBinghamton,ngikholwa ukuthi ibizwa ngeBinghamton, Binghamton, kunjalo,eNew York. Sasilapho endaweni yezicathulo iEndicott-Johnson, ihholo elikhulu, futhi sasinomhlangano lapho.Futhi ngokunye ukusa, uBilly Paul wayesemnyangweniolandelayo kimi, kumakhaza ngempela, imimoya ivunguza.Futhi ngangithole, phakathi kwabantu, ukusilela kobuqotho,kwakubukeka kanjalo. Futhi nga—ngamangala ukuthi kungani.Lapha kwakunendoda eyodwa eyaphiliswa, inhloso, nomaindoda eyodwa i—ikakhulu engikhuluma ngayo. Indodayayinenhlupheko enkulu, futhi yaphiliswa ngalobubusuku imilapho. Futhi ngaphambi kokuba sisuke, izinsuku ezinhlanu,inhlupheko yayisibuyele kuyo futhi. Niyabo?Ngoba, eBukhonenibukaMoya oNgcwele, Basusa lokho kuyo. Njengoba nje Benzelentombi esikhashaneni esedlule phandle lapha egcekeni,insizwa izolo ebusuku, niyabo. Kodwa kufanele kube nobuqothoobujulile ukwazi ukuthi uNkulunkulu ongakususa kuwe manje,nalologcobo olufanayo olukuwe, lungakususa kuwe. Niyabo?Kwase kuthi-ke uMoya oNgcwele wakhuluma kimi ngokunyeukusa, cishe sekusemini, wayesethi, “Yenyukela emsamonoma ndawondawo, bese wenyusela lababantu lapho beseubenze bavume yonke into abayenzile, ngaphambi kokubaubakhulekele.” Niyabo? Ukujula kobuqotho!74 Ngaphandle uma izwe liphenduka, lizofanele libhubhe.Niyabo? Futhi ukuvuma yilokho izwe elikudingayo namhlanje,ngukuvuma okwethembekile.75 Kunjengomuthi wesifo. Sonke singafunda ebhodleleniukuthi hlobo luni lomuthi oliyilo nokuthi sifo sini o—ozoselapha.Kodwa, niyazi, ukufunda izindlela zokusetshenziswa kwawo,ngizosebenzisa lokho njengaseBhayibhelini, izikole zethunamakholiji kungalifunda lonke iZwi. Kodwa, niyazi, ukufundanje izindlela zokusetshenziswa kwawo nokuthi uphuzwakanjani, a—akuselaphi isifo. Niyabo? Ku—kunomuthi, ngakhouzofanele uphuzwe! Ngakho indoda ingathi, “Ngi—ngingusiyaziwezenkolo. Manje, ungakhulumi kimi, ngi—ngi—ngi…ngokukanje-na-kanje, ngiyayazi imiBhalo.

kodwa ngingaSiphuza na? Ngingakholwa na? Ngingahlengithi “Ngiyakholwa,” kodwa ngiyakholwa na? Yileyo intoelandelayo. UkuSifunda nje nokwazi izindlela zokusetshenziswakwaso, akuselaphi isifo. Inkathazo ingukuthi (odabeni lwethu)asiyikukuphuza iKhambi elithi kwenze. Sinalo iKhambi, kodwaasiyikuLiphuza. Sithi siyakwenza, ngoba singaLifunda; kodwangempela ukuLiphuza, asikwenzi. Niyabo, iVangeli liyindlelaefanayo, umuthi, kuloludaba. Uma isiguli…Nekhambilifakazelwe ukuthi lelapha isiguli, nesiguli sifunda konke ngo—ngokutholakala kwalomuthi wokwelapha, futhi bazi zonkeizilinganiso zomuthi ezikuwo, bazi lonke i—igama likasosayenseowathola lomuthi othize wokwelapha, njengomgomo iSalknokunye nokunye. Uma si—uma sazi lonke iZwi ngaLo, kodwasale ukuLiphuza, Aliyikusisiza. Niyabo, aLi—Liyikusisiza.77 Kodwa, futhi manje-ke sisho kanjani ukuthi, “Kodwasaliphuza!” Futhi uma uthi waliphuza, nesiguli singakhombisi-miphumela, asiliphuzanga. Yilokho kuphela. Kanjani, umalelowashi elikhulu odongeni belingesilo elibhizi kangaka,niyabo. Bengingathanda ukuhlala lapha futhi ngehliseokuqine ngempela kwabantu bakithi—bakithi, lokhu iVangelilizifakazele lezizinto, futhi bazisho ukuthi bayaLiphuza,futhi bakhombisa ukuthi abaLiphuzi! Umuntu angayifundakanjani imiBhalo phezu kwento encane engikhuluma ngayo,ngabesifazane nezinwele eziphunguliwe futhi begqokaizikhindi, nokunye nokunye kanjalo, bangazibiza kanjaningamaKristu ube uMuthi uqobo Lwawo uthi kwehlukile!Niyabo? Kanjani? Wena uthi, “Kodwa ngisine eMoyeni,ngikhulume ngezilimi.” Lokho akusho neyodwa into. Impiloyakho uqobo iyafakazisa ukuthi awuWuphuzanga! Niyabo?Uthe u—uWuphuzile, kodwa awuzange! Ngokuba, usalokhuukhombisa zonke izimpawu zesifo uMuthi ofanele uzelaphe.NoMuthi, emgqeni weVangeli, uyiselapho esiqinisekisiwe!Uzofanele ube njalo. Manje, uyabo, ufanele ukhombiseimiphumela.78 Uthatha umuntu uthi banjalo, “Nginjalo. Ngiyikholwa.Ngiyakholwa.” Ake ukuKhanya kweVangeli kubashaye,mfowethu, baLiphuza khona manje! Futhi bayokhombisaimiphumela. Impela. Awusophinde uyibone leyondodaezitolo zokubhejela, awuzukuyibona phandle lapha nosikilidiesandleni sayo, ungeke usayibona iphuza. O, qhabo. Ungekeusayibona iqomisana nabanye besifazane. Qhabo, qhabo,qhabo. Angikhathali ukuthi bayiphosa kanjani inyamayabo yabesifazane phambi kwayo, iyojikisa ikhanda layoibheke ngasezibhakabhakeni futhi ibuke ngakuKristu. Kuyinina? Kukhombisa ukuthi iKhambi lisebenzile. Futhi umaLingasebenzi, uthi, “Awu, ngiyazi ngaLiphuza,” awu, phoukuphi namhlanje pho? Uyafa. Uyakhombisa! Ngikubukanjengokuxilonga udaba lwakho, nge—ngeBhayibheli, ukuthi

usalokhu usesonwni. Nenkokhelo yesono ngukufa. Angicabangiukuthi kuzofanele kwenziwe kucace ukwedlula nayini.Uyabo, izenzo zakho uqobo ziyafakaza, izenzo zakho uqoboziyafakazisa ukuthi aWuwuphuzanga. Ucabange ukuthiukwenzile. Amen. U—ungahle ukuba ubuqotho ngakho konkeekukwenzeni, kodwa awukwenzanga! Ngokuba, uma wenzile,uNkulunkulu wethembisa ukuthi Uyosebenza kuwe. Nesonoesidala sisalokhu silapho, imvelo endala ka Adamu isalokhuilibala lapho, ukungakholwa okudala. Nokho uzama ukuzenzawena, phambi komfo wakini, uthi, “Awu, ngiyikholwa. O,udumo kuNkulunkulu! Yebo, ngiyikholwa.” Kodwa, uyabo,Awukusizanga ngalutho.79 Mhlawumbe isiguli uqobo lwaso sasingakaze simiselwengaphambili e—eMthini. Uma sakwenza, Awusoze wasebenza.Kunjalo. Uyabo?80 Kodwa bukani lowo wesifazane omncane onesimilo esibingenkathi ukuKhanya kumshaya, kwakunento ethize ilele laphoukukhathalela isimo sakhe. Niyabo? Uma sikholwa futhi sivumangobuqotho, leliKhambi lendlela kaNkulunkulu liyasebenza.UNkulunkulu unendlela ehlinzekiwe yalezizinto.81 Manje, niyabo, indoda iyohamba, ithi, “Awu, ngajoyinaibandla. Lokho kuyakuxazulula kimi.” Leyo akusiyo indlelakaNkulunkulu ehlinzekiwe.82 Indlela kaNkulunkulu ehlinzekiwe ingukuphenduka,ukuvuma, nokukhombisa imiphumela, ukuthela izitheloezifanele ukuphenduka, kukhombisa ubuqotho. Uma ninabantu nizokwenza lokho nje kulokhu ukusa, ozokhulekelwa!Nani bantu enizwa leteyipu, ezweni lonke jikelele, futhi emvakokuba leteyipu isidlaliwe nomfundisi noma umuntu oyidlalayoemaqenjini ezinhlangano zamabandla phandle emenwenikumbe noma ngabe yikuphi lapho enikhona, oyidlalayo,kuqala uzokwenza ukuvuma kwakho kucace, bese kuthi-keuze ungenalutho enhliziyweni yakho nhlobo, kodwa ukukholwa,futhi ukhulekelwe, lapho uMuthi uzosebenza.83 UJesu wathi, “Phendukani, yilowo nalowo!” NgiqondeuPetru wakwenza ngoSuku lwePhentekoste, “Phendukani,futhi nibhaphathizwe eGameni likaJesu Kristu kukhoukuthethelelwa kwezono, futhi niyakwamukela isiphiwosikaMoya oNgcwele.” Uma uphendukisisa futhi ukholweeNkosini, futhi ubhaphathizwe eGameni likaJesu Kristu,wenza uNkulunkulu umqambimanga uma ungamemukeliuMoya oNgcwele. Uma…uJesu washo lokhu, ukuthunywakokugcina ebandleni laKhe, “Lezizibonakaliso ziyakubalandelaabakholwayo. Uma bebeka izandla zabo phezu kwabagulayo,bayakusinda.” Futhi ubona lezozibonakaliso zilandela ikholwa,bese uyenyuka nalelokholwa libeke izandla phezu kwakho,futhi into ethize ingenzeki, khona-ke kukhona okungalungile

ngenkolelo yakho. Uyabo? “Ikholwa!” UNkulunkuluwethembisa indlela ehlinzekiwe.84 Sizama ukuthola induduzo ngokuba sithi, “Angidingekiukuba ngilalele.” Qhabo, lokho kuqinisile, awudingeki ukubaulalele.85 Kodwa uma umiselwe ukuPhila okuPhakade, uyoKulalelafuthi uyojabula kuKho. KuyiNduduzo yakho. KuyiNtoobuyilangazelele yonke impilo yakho. Kuyi—KuyileloParele, o,u—usulungele ukushiya yonke into. Uyabo? UyaKufuna ngobauyazi ukuthi kungukukhathalela kothando lukaNkulunkululwakho. Kuyinto ethize ukuxazulula umbuzo wesono,ukuxazulula ukungakholwa, ukuxazulula yonke into, kuwe,uma uKufuna. Kunguye ogula ngempela nowaziyo ukuthiuyagula, ofunisisa inyanga. Niyabo? Akusuye lowo ongaguli,akayidingi, uJesu washo. Kodwa yilabo abagulayo. Umaungasiqonda isimo sakho, khona-ke uzofanele wenze njengobaAthi yenza. Khona-ke kuzokwenzeka, kungenjalo uNkulunkuluwakhuluma into ethize eyayiyiphutha. Niyabo?86 Abantu abaningi kakhulu ngesinye isikhathi, izinkonzozokuphilisa, awuqali phansi ekugcineni kwayo. Uzofaneleuthole impilo ehlanziwe, ufanele ube sesimweni, ufanelengempela uthi, “Yebo, ngiyaKukholwa,” nalokho kuzofanelekube ngokuvela enhliziyweni yakho. Khona-ke wena,akukho-muntu ozohamba ekutotosa, ethi, “Manje, o,mfowethu othandekayo, dade othandekayo, ubufanele wenzelokhu, ubufanele wenze lokho.” Uyikholwa, akukho luthoolungaKususa kuwe. Angikhathali ukuthi noma ubani omunyeubengathini, ukuthi noma yikuphi ukududuza, ukuthi nomayimuphi umduduzi, ukuthi noma yimuphi udokotela, ukuthinoma yisiphi isibhedlela, ukuthi noma yikuphi ukuxilongabekungathini, usalokhu ungakukholwa. UyaKwazi nje! Akukhosidingo sokusho noma yini enye ngaKho, uyaKwazi! Manje, leyoyinto yangokoqobo.87 Sinokuningi kakhulu ukuzifanisa nabanye abantu ezintwenizonke. Kuzofanele kube ngaleyondlela. Ungaphatheki kabingakho. Kuzofanele kube lapho. Bekulokhu kunjalo futhikuyolokhu kunjalo. Kodwa nginitshela kulokhu ukusaokuyiQiniso namaqiniso. Sisesikathini sokuphela. Sifanelesendlale lento eQinisweni, niyabo, futhi sazise ukuthi kuyiniokuyiQiniso.88 Manje sithola ukuthi abantu abayikuyithatha indlelakaNkulunkulu ngakho. Bafuna, ba…uNkulunkulu unendlelaehlinzekelwe induduzo yakho. UNkulunkulu unendlelaehlinzekelwe zonke lezizinto. Kodwa abantu abaYifuni,abantu balandela ezinye izindlela. Futhi ngaso sonke isikhathibakwenza ngenye indlela ethize ngaphandle kwendlela

kaNkulunkulu, baletha ulaka lukaNkulunkulu phezu kwabongaso sonke isikhathi abakwenza ngaso. Kulungile.89 Futhi zonke lezizinto engikhulume ngazo, kusilethakulokhu, izwe, zonke zalezi zilandela ezinye izinzuzongempumelelo zesayense, zilandela izinzuzo ngempumelelozebandla, zilandela izinto ezehlukene kusilethe ekuphelenikwezwe. Sisekupheleni. Akukho nalinye ithemba elisele.Asinathemba lokusinda. Asinalo ngisho nelilodwa ithubalokusinda. Manje ake ngikuhlaziye nje lokhu imizuzu embalwanje, futhi ngikufakazise nje kini.90 Futhi ngamunye wenu, nithola, uma ningenjalo, benifanelenithole incwadi yezemithi, benifanele nithathe iReader’sDigest, nokunye nokunye, lapho enifunda khona lezizinzuzongempumelelo. Manje ukwenza…91 Umfundisi lapha uthumela loMlayezo izwe jikelele.Ukwenza isitatimende esinjalo, ukuthi asinathemba, ukuthisesingaleya kokuhlengwa, ukuthi sesedlule umugqa phakathikokuhlengwa nokwahlulelwa, manje ngifanele nginikeinhlangano yebandla izinkundla ezithize ukuba zesekelelesisitatimende phezu kwazo. Kufanele kube nesizathuesithize ukuthi indoda, uma ise kahle emqondweni wayonjengoba ngicabanga ukuthi nginjalo, ingenza isitatimendeesinjalo, ukutshela isizwe sakubo, ukuba itshele inhlanganoyebandla layo, ukutshela abantu lapho esiyoya khona izwejikelele ezizweni ezehlukene ezingamashumi amathathu nomaamane, mhlawumbe, izwe jikelele, nabantu nezilwimi, ukuthi“sisesikhathini sokuphela,” kusifanele ukunikeza isitatimendenoma—noma—noma sichaze okuncane kwaso size sehleleendikimbeni yethu enkulu yalokhu ukusa.92 Bukani, manje asibuke ukuthi isayense nemfundo isilethekuphi, naleyo yiyonanto impela indoda eyivumile esikhundleniseZwi likaNkulunkulu, imvumelo yesayense. Nesayense ibihlalanjalo idingeka ukuba ikuhoxise abakusho. Ngangifunda laphaesikhathini esithize esedlule lapho usosayense ongumFrentshiwathi, cishe eminyakeni engamakhulu amabili eyadlula,noma amakhulu amathathu, “Ukugingqa ibhola lizungezeumhlaba,” wayesethi, “uma lelibhola, ngalelijubane…Uma izwe like laze lasungula olunye uhlobo lwento ethizeebingabenza okungenani bahambe amamayela angamashumiamathathu ngehora, into efana naleyo, ukuzungeza izwe,”ukuthi ukufakazisa ngokwesayense, “ukuthi lona esimweni salobelingaphakanyiswa ngokudonsela phansi emhlabeni.” Niyabo?Manje, nicabanga ukuthi isayense ibingake ize ithathisele emuvakulowomfo na? Impela qha. Lokho kusekokwedlule, kubo.93 Manje, asicabange nje manje, sonke sifuna ukuthi, “Ngifunaukukufakazisa ngokwesayense.” Yilokho inqwaba yamahleloyabantu benkolo abakushoyo namhlanje.

Fakazisa!”94 Yini engeyangempela na? Ukuphila. Ngifuna ungitholeleokubiza ikota kwakho, noma—noma angithengise ngakhokonke enginakho, ukuba ngithole leyongxenye yokuphila. Futhingabe ukuphila kungokwangempela na? Uma kungesikho, yiniesingayo sonke lapha na?95 Ukuphila, ukukholwa, uthando, ukujabula, ukuthula,ukubekezela, ububele, ubumnene, ukukhuthazela, isayenseingeke yakuthinta. Futhi yilokho kuphela okwangempela,into ehlala isikhathi eside ekhona. Zonke izikhali zamaKristuzibuka kokungabonwayo. Kodwa imizwa ayizimemezelilezozinto, kodwa zikhona. Yingalesosizathu kuthathaukukholwa ukukukholwa, futhi kuveza phakathi kuwe lokhoukukholwa okukumemezele kuphandle lapho. Kukuletha kuwe,ukuphilisa ngokukaNkulunkulu nento. Bangeke bakufakaziseokuphilisa ngokobuNkulunkulu, kodwa bayazi ukuthi kukhonaukuphilisa ngokukaNkulunkulu. Ngi…Bangeke bakufakaziseokusindisa esonweni, kodwa bayazi ukuthi abantu basindiswaesonweni. Ngakho ngeke kwafakaziswa ngokwesayense, kodwakungokwesayense ngendlela kaNkulunkulu yokukubuka.96 Manje, iletheni isayense kithina? Manje, ungahle wethukeisikhashana nje. Isayense ilethe kithi ukugula, ukufa, nezifo.Manje, nifundiswe kuphela uhlangothi olulodwa lwesithombe.Kodwa kunezinhlangothi ezimbili kuso. Wena uthi, “Isayenseisungule lokhu, lokho, nokunye.” Awu, sizonipha leyonhlanhla.Kodwa asibuke olunye uhlangothi. Isayense isilethele ukugula.Isayense isilethele izifo, ukufa.97 Bukani! Ukubhastelisa kwesayense kulethe ukufa esizweni,kwezidlo nezinto. Sekuthambise abantu kakhulu nakanjalo,sekuze kuthi o—owesilisa nabesifazane benziwe ngesigejanesenkucunkucu, futhi akukho—akukho—akukho-sakhiwo kuso.Sekube yisigejane samatheketheke athambile. Abakwaziukuphila ngaphandle kwesishayisamoya, bayabhubha.Abakwazi ukudlala umdlalo webheyisibholi, uma omunyewabo ethola ukungqimuzwa ndawondawo, kuyambulala,emizuliswaneni yesibhakela nanoma yini okunye. Futhikuthambe kakhulu kuze kuthi owesilisa nabesifazane, awu,kuyabaphendukezela.98 Futhi bajovela lokhu ukubhastelwa ezinkomeni osekubuyeleesintwini manje, ngokwesayense qobo lwabo, futhi kwenzaimpendukezelo ngabo. Ngoba, nxa i—inkomazi iyibhastela,kumbe noma yikuphi ukudla kuyibhastela, lokho kudlakwenza ingqamuzana legazi, nengqamuzana legazi liyimpiloyakho. Niyabona ukuthi kwenzeni na? Bese kuthi-ke,

Ngangicabanga ukuthi kwakunentoethize ngalokho, futhi ngahamba ngase ngikubuka. “Ningawadliamaqanda.” Lokho kwakusemuva le ngo 1933. Amaqandasekunento ethize kuwo manje, futhi ngibona lapho isayenseithi indoda engaphezu kweminyaka engamashumi amahlanuubudala ayifanele neze idle iqanda, ngoba liyinto el’khunikunayo yonke into enhliziyweni engadliwa. Izifo!100 Ubisi, kwakuvame ukuthi uhlelo lwethu olukhulu lokudlaokukhethiwe kakhulu kwakuwubisi. Odokotela bazonitshela,“Ziqhelaniseni nalo.” Lwenza isifo sokucinana nayo yonke enyeinto.

Sekubangele izimbewana zofuzo phakathi kowe—wesilisa nowesifazane zibe buthakathaka, ubuthakathakabokomzimba besidalwa esingumuntu, ngezimbewana zofuzo,nokwanda kwabantwana abanokugongobala kulaphaemapesenteni angamashumi amathathu. Isifo sokugugausemncane sisezingeni eliphezulu. Nalobubuthakathakabokuzalaniswa kokudla esikudlela ukuphila, kwenzabuthakathaka umzimba, okubangela umdlavuza, izinkathazozengqondo, nazo zonke izinhlobo zezifo kuhlezi phezukomzimba womuntu ngenxa yobuthakathaka bakho.Okwesayense, bezibhubhisa bona uqobo, beqhela ecebwenilikaNkulunkulu.

umzindlo owodwa, ukulalela umzindlo owodwa omelene neZwiwabangela yonke lenxushunxushu, umzindlo owodwa omeleneneZwi futhi awuyikukuthatha ukubuyisele kuleyondawoefanayo, ngoba bekungaba ubuwula kanjani bukaNkulunkuluukuba abuyise umuntu phezu kwezisekelo ezifanayo aMkhiphakuzo.

YiGazi nokuzala, futhi Liveza kuwe isidalwaesisha, uKristu, futhi ngokubunjwa nguKristu uyaphila,ngoba isiHlungu osiphuzayo sikhombisa ukuthi Sibulala isonosokungakholwa, ngokumelana nanoma yini ngaphandle kweZwilikaNkulunkulu.112 Imfundo isinika…Sinamabandla amabili akhona kulokhuukusa. Elinye lawo yiBandla lephentekoste elahlelwaePhentekoste nguMoya oNgcwele; elesibili yibandla laseRomaKatolika elahlelwa eNayisiya, eRoma. Elinye lawo ngelizalwangokomoya; elinye lingubulunga bezihlakaniphi. Kusukelakulelobandla kuvela onke amaProtestane, kuvela onkeamahlelo. Lelo kwaba yihlelo lokuqala. Onke amahlelo avelakulelo elilodwa futhi angukuhlobana nalelo elilodwa, iSambulo17 sisho njalo, “Laliyisifebekazi futhi lalingunina wezifebe.”Kunjalo.

IBhayibheli, sisanda kuphuma nje kuleyominyakayebandla, ukufakazisa lokho. Elilodwa lesekeleke phezukokubona okufihlakele kokomoya; elinye lesekeleke phezukomqondo wemfundo nowezihlakaniphi.113 Manje, lokho kusibuyisela ngqo eNsimini yaseEdene futhi,emuva ngqo indawo efanayo. Owesifazane (ibandla) nguyeowalalela, akusuye uAdamu, owesifazane! Manje bafuna ukubayibandla elingumama, qhubeka! Kunjalo impela. Akukholutho oluphume esikhathini. Benza ukuvuma kwabo uqobo,niyabo. Niyabo, ngqo emuva entweni efanayo, ukuba balikholwengokungesikho iZwi likaNkulunkulu! ENayisiya, eRoma,nxa umbuzo uqubuka ngombhaphathizo wamanzi, ngezinyeizinto ezinjalo, nangombhaphathizo kaMoya oNgcwele, a—ababhishobhi ngakho konke bahlela lokho okwakubizwangebandla eliRoma Katolika, elalingelase “bukhosini”laseRoma, lalibizwa kanjalo.

uMoya oNgcwele uphakathi lapho, ngoba UnguMduduziuKristu—uKristu amethembisa, esebenza ebandleni laKhe,lenza into efanayo Ayenza ekuqaleni. Sasisebenza kanjalo-ke isiHlungu sensindiso kaKristu ekuqaleni, yileyondlelaEsisebenza ngayo namhlanje, kuletha into efanayo.115 Elinye ngumqondo wesihlakaniphi wehlelo elenziwengeqembu lendoda, eline “simo sokumesaba uNkulunkulu,”njengoba umprofethi asitshela, “futhi aphika leliQinisolaMandla.” Manje, lokho nje kucace impela njengoba ngaziukuthi kwenziwa kanjani.116 Manje, nanko-ke ibandla amabili. Elinye lawo lazalwaeNayisiya; nelinye lazalwa ePhentekoste. Ne—nelilodwabelimelene njalo nelinye. Sedlulile eminyakeni yebandlaukukufakazisa, elinye limelene nelinye. Elinye lawo lingelikahle,elinesithunzi, ibandla lezihlakaniphi nezifundiswa ezikahlenokunye nokunye; elinye lithathwa ngokuthi liyi “sigejanesabagingqiki abangcwele.” Lalingukuthi ekuqaleni, “izidakwa,abadobi abangafundile,” futhi liyinto efanayo namhlanje,lisalokhu lithathwa ngesigaba esifanayo. Elinye lawolingokwesayense; elinye lingelokomoya. Elilodwa liwuhlelolwesayense; elinye lingukubona okufihlakeleyo kokomoyakweZwi. Elilodwa lihlelwe ngokwesayense, okushiwongamaqembu endoda, umbhishobhi oyisihlakaniphi. Elinyengokoqobo lizalwa nguMoya kaNkulunkulu, futhi liphilangoMoya kaNkulunkulu, futhi lenza futhi lifezekise amaZwiuNkulunkulu awethembisa. Kukhombisa ukuthi sihlungu siniosiphuzayo. Unesihlungu semfundo na? UnesiHlungu sikaMoyaoNgcwele na? Niyabo? Kulungile.117 O, lobobuqili bukaSathane! Ukuthi angasipenda kanjanilesosithombe, ngokuhlakanipha angenza indoda engazelwenguMoya kaNkulunkulu ijikajike nje! Futhi akukho-ndlela,ngokuhlakanipha, ukubehlisa ngakho. Leyo akusiyo indlela.118 Kungukubona okufihlakeleyo ngokukholwa, niyabo,ukubona okufihlakeleyo. Siyabona ukuthi iZwi lithini,siyaLikholwa.119 “Manje-ke, Mfowethu Branham, bathi banokubonaokufihlakeleyo.” Khona-ke uMoya oNgcwele awuveze khonaimpela Athembisa ukukuveza, khona-ke siyakukholwa. Niyabo?Nampo ubufakazi obubonakalayo baWo.120 Senza kanjani isiHlungu ngenkathi Sishaya umuntu na?“Lezizibonakaliso ziyakubalandela abakholwayo,” Washo. UmaisiHlungu sashaya lokho, khona-ke lokho kulungile.

IBhayibheli lisho njalo, uGenesisi 6:4.Indoda edumileyo igijima emva kwabesifazane ababukeka kahlengempela nezinto, njengoba saba nabo ezweni lonke. Ngedlulilenje kukho kwethiAmaLambu ABomvu ABanibanikayo, sixoxilengobunye ubusuku ukuthi abesifazane babezoba kanjaningababukeka kahle kakhulu ngezinsuku zokugcna, ukuthiindoda, indoda edumileyo, njengehlazo eNgilandi naseUnitedStates. Futhi kusazotholakala ngolunye lwalezizinsuku.Niyabo, anazi nje ukuthi yini bonke lab’onondindwa nayoyonke enye into kumayelana nani. Niyabo? Niyazi ukuthikukhona abathathu koyedwa owesifazane osebenza ebhakunoma kukhona intombazane yasesikoleni esiphakeme nomayasekholiji na? Abesifazane abathathu koyedwa abasebenzaebha kunentombazane yasesikoleni esiphakeme neyasekholiji.Niyazi yini, ipesente elithize, ngeke ngalibiza manje ngobaalikho phambi kwami, angizange ngilibhale phansi, kodwa cisheimpela okwesithathu kwabantwana basesikoleni esiphakemephezu kwesizwe kuphakathi kokuthi kade benesimilo esibinoma badingeke baye ekhaya ukuba babe ngomama na? Niyaziyini ukuthi ukuthatha umjovo iphenisilini ukuxosha ugcusulaufake kuphela ukonakala phakathi kwabantu, okungukuthi,leyonto ayifile na? Kodwa nokho, niyabo, uNkulunkulu wathikuyohambela isizukulwane sesine. Kubangela iSifo sokugugaumncane nayo yonke enye into, nabantwana ba…O, sikanjaniisono, singubuqili kanjani!

Kunye vo kuphela okusele, nalokhongukufika kweNkosi uJesu; o, he, ukuhlanjululwa ngesikhathiseNhlupheko, ukubuysa ukubuyiselwa kwezwe, kwabantuabalungileyo ebusweni bukaNkulunkulu futhi baphile ngeZwilaKhe.125 Qaphelani, Wakhathalela labo abakhathalela ukuphunyukangezinsuku zikaNowa, futhi Wabathumela umprofethi.Nalomprofethi wabaqondisa endleleni ehlinzekwenguNkulunkulu. Manje, leyo yindlela kaNkulunkuluyokwenza izinto. Niyabo? UNkulunkulu wakhuluma kuNowa,okwakuyiZwi (kwakungesilo iZwi elilotshiwe ngaleyonkathi),wayesetshela uNowa ukuba alungise umkhumbi wokusindiswakwabantu, nokwexwayisa bonke abantu ukuthi Waye ne“ndlela eyodwa yensindiso.” Nalendoda yayingumprofethioqinisekisiweyo owafakazisa kubo indlela yokuphunyuka.Qaphelani, abathobile nabaqotho bayizwa lendoda futhibayikholwa, futhi baphunyuka. Baphunyuka kukuphi na?Ukufa kwezwe lesono elalibhujiswa ngalolosuku, baphunyukaemgwaqeni wokufa okwakulele phezu kwezwe lonke.UNkulunkulu wakhathalela kakhulu! (O Nkulunkulu, sizalokhu ukuba kwehle kujule manje, ngaphambi komugqawomkhuleko.) UNkulunkulu wakhathalela!126 Ubuka phezu kwezwe manje namhlanje, futhi Umemezilefuthi Umemezile, futhi bedelela futhi bala. Kwakunethubalokuphenduka ekuqaleni.

Manje, uyazibengingakwazi, kodwa ususekuxhumaneni ngqo manje. Kholwangayo yonke inhliziyo yakho, futhi kuzobakhona ukususwa nyakube ngokwejwayelekile nje njengoba kwakulokhu kunjalo,uma uzokholwa. Ukuze ubone lokho ngaso sonke isikhathi,manje ngi…209 Into kuphela engiyaziyo, izolo ebusuku ngiyakhumbulangicabanga owesilisa, bengicabanga ukuthi ubenezinweleezikahle kakhulu, embambatha izinwele zakhe phakathinendawo, lona wesilisa osekhanda-limpunga ehlezi lapha.Kwenzekile nje ngabuka, futhi bekukhona lokho kuKhanyakukhanya ngqo kuzungeze ngaphezu kwabo kanjalo. Futhiyilokho okube yikho. Ngase-ke ngibona umbono uvela. Angibaziukuthi bebengobani nalutho ngakho. Inenekazi belithe qekelelelapho izolo ebusuku, ngathi, “Uza emhlanganweni na?” Lathi,“Yebo.” Kodwa umusa kaNkulunkulu wabuye wakudonsa ngqofuthi, futhi bekuyilowo-ke.
