Iyokuqondisa, futhi ibuthakathaka kakhulu ekukulethenikuNkulunkulu; ingqondo yakho. Ungeke wamazi uNkulunkulungengqondo yakho, inhlakanipho. Ingenye yezingcebo, nomaimigudu ezoholela kuyo, kodwa umphefumulo wakho yiwonaokubusayo. Uyilokho oyikho, ngomphefumulowakho.65 UJesu wathi kubaFarisi, wathi, “Ngani, nina bazenzisi.Ningakhuluma kanjani okuhle na?”

Ngenkathi, beMbiza ngokuthi, “Nkosi enhle,” kanjalo njalo.66 Wathi, “Izindebe zikhuluma ngokuchichima kwenhliziyo.Nasenhliziyweni yenu niyaNgizonda. Nasezindebeni zenuniNgibiza nithi, ‘Nkosi enhle.’”Wathi, “Nina bazenzisi!”67 Niyabo, umphefumulo wakho ucabanga into eyodwa, futhiukhuluma ngezindebe zakho enye into! Indaba enje pho! Intoembi kakhulu kangaka pho! Umzenzisi uyinto ekhohlisa kanjepho! Ngokuba, engqondweni yabo basho enye into, kantiumphefumulo wabo usho enye into.68 Manje, umshini wokuhlola amanga awuyikusebenzaengqondweni yakho. Uyosebenza emphefumulweni wakho.Awuyikusebenza enhlakaniphweni yakho. Kukhona abanyeabantu abangalingisa iqiniso. Bayalingisa. Nokho, kungamanga,futhi bangalingisa baze bedukise njenganoma yini.69 NoSathane uyena odlula konke okukhona, ngokuba udukiseuEva ngaleyondlela, esho lezozinto ezifanayo. Namangaamakhulu kunawo onke, asake akhulunywa, ayenenqwabayeqiniso kuwo.70 Manje, lomuntu, ukuba-ke wawuke wathola lomphefumulongaphakathi, uzwana kakhulu noNkulunkulu, ukuthiumphefumulo wakho noNkulunkulu uze ube munye, ndawonye,khona-ke ubungacela lokho okuthandayo, futhi uyakuphiwakhona.71 Abantu abaningi beza kimi, izikhathi eziningi emgqeniwomkhuleko, bese bema lapho bese bethi, “O, MfowethuBranham, nginokuningi kakhulu ukukholwa. Nginokukholwangangokugudluza izintaba.” Futhi, nokho, abanakukholwa.Kul’khuni ukuthi babe nokukholwa okwenele ukuba bayeemsamo. Kodwa banokuzwa into eyodwa, ukuthi bayakholwa.Bakholwa ngokwenhlakanipho ngengqondo yabo. Nengqondoyabo ayisoze yabaletha kuNkulunkulu. Ingqondo yakhoyimizindlo. NoNkulunkulu akanamizindlo.72 Uma ungahle ukuzindle, ingqondo yakho izokutshela,“Manje buka lapha, udokotela uthi angeke ngakunqoba lokho.Akunakwenzeka.”73 Manje, udokotela, nenhlakanipho yakhe, nobuhlakanibakhe, nolwazi lwakhe lwesayense yezemithi, ukutsheleokwedlula konke ukuhamba kwenqondo yakhe. Futhi wenaukuthathe wakufaka enhliziyweni yakho, futhi usebenzisa

into efanayo udokotela akutshele yona, u…UNkulunkulungeke neze awuthinte lowolayini, inqobo nje uma uzindla.Kodwa masibeke phansi ukuzindla. UNkulunkulu akazangeasenze ukuba siphile ngenhlakanipho yethu. Siphila ngoMoyaoNgcwele osemphefumulweni wethu, othi “qha” kunomayimiphi imizindlo ophambene neZwi likaNkulunkulu.74 Uma iZwi lithi kunjalo, akukho lutho ezweni olumaendleleni yaLo. Bese-ke uma wenza lokho, wehlelangakwesokudla sikaNkulunkulu. Uyehla uze ucele okufunayo,futhi uyophiwa khona, ngokuba akukho lutho oluphakathikwalapho. Akukho kuzindla. Asilahle lezozizindlo. Zimiendleleni yakho. Khipha ingqondo yakho endleleni. Futhiungakusho okuzindlayo, okubonayo, okucabangayo. Shonolokho uNkulunkulu athi kuyiQiniso. Nalokho kungavelakuphela ngaphakathi, enhliziyweni, hhayi ezinhlakaniphweni.75 Yilapho abantu abaningi kakhulu, namhlanje, kuzobaukudumala okwesabeka kakhulu ngoSuku lokwaHlulelwa.Ukwazi ukuthi bahlale ebandleni, ukwazi ukuthi benzeimisebenzi emihle, ukwazi ukuthi bamphathe kahleumakhelwane wabo, ukwazi ukuthi bebethembekile kubantu,bethembekile ebandleni; nasengqondweni yabo bakukholiwelokho, uJesu Kristu iNdodana kaNkulunkulu, futhi balahlwengoSuku lokwaHlulelwa.76 UJesu wathi, “Baningi ababiziweyo futhi bayingcosanaabakhethiweyo. Isango lincane nendlela iyingcingo eyisaekuPhileni, futhi kepha bayingcosana lapho abayoba yilowooyifumanayo.”77 Manje kinina bantu lapha kulokhu ukusa, ngi—ngifunanihlale niqonde futhi niqaphele lokhu. Senibadala ngokwenelemanje. Senikuzwe ngokwenele ukushunyayelwa kweVangelisenize nifanele nikwazi uku—ukuyeka ubisi, nokuthi nizeohlobweni lokudla kwangempela kweVangeli; nize endawenilapho abesilisa nabesifazane befanele bame. UPawulu wathi,“Nxa benifanele nibe ngabafundisi, kungani, nisafanelenifundiswe, namanje.”78 Manje emphefumulweni, lapho umuntu ehlala khona,uyilokho oyikho emphefumulweni wakho. Hhayi engqondweniyakho, hhayi ekuzindleni kwakho, hhayi ngoba uthi,“Ngizoba nokuqonda okungcono. Ngingazimatanisa nesixukuesingcono uma ngiba ngumKristu.” Lokho ukuzindla. Niyabo?Awufanele wenze lokho. Ungakwenzi lokho. Makuveleolwazini lokuzibonela olusha, ukuZalwa okusha; into eyenzekahhayi engqondweni, kodwa emphefumulweni, okususe yonkeimizindlo, bese uba yisidalwa esisha. Futhi ukuKristu Jesu.79 UNkk.

Phansi le ekujuleni emphefumulweni wakhe,iZwi likaNkulunkulu liqala ukubila, futhi lithi, “Unephutha.Isifungo sakho singukuthi uyo ‘namathela kulendoda nizenehlukaniswe ukufa,’ akunandaba ukuthi ibukeka injani.”82 Owesifazane okhanga kakhulu noma owesilisa, futhikusebenza ngapha nangapha. Ufunge kulomuntu kuzekube sekufeni, nehlukane. Kodwa uyoya enhlakaniphweni.Uyocabanga, “Nangu uNkk. Jones. Ushaya upiyano.Ungowesifazane olungileyo.

Kodwa ngilaphanjengomshumayeli weVangeli, ukunazisa ukuthi liyini iqiniso,bese-ke nenza ngalo lokho enifisa ukukwenza. Manje-ke umanihamba ukuyokwenza lezozinto, niyoqala ukuzindla, “Umalona wesifazane engakwenza! Waziwa kakhulu. Uyasonta.Uhlala ezikhundleni zomphakathi. Angikwenzi ngani minana?” Lokho ngukuzindla, lapho umphefumulo wakho ukutshelaukuthi akulungile. UNkulunkulu wamboza owesifazaneyonke indawo, nendoda yonke indawo, ensimini yase-Edene;akazange abahlubule izingubo. Niyabo?

Nothisha bethubayimbangela yakho, emsamo, ngokungalikhulumi iQiniso.Amen. Kunjalo.87 Qaphelani, owesifazane uyaqhubeka. Ucabanga ukuthiulungile. Emva kwesikhashana, uyamshiya umyeni wakhe.Usuka uyahamba futhi ugana lendoda engumthengisiohambayo, ngoba iyabukeka, umfo omkhulu. Futhi emvakwesikhashana uthola ukuthi akasiyo indoda umyeni wakheayeyiyona. Niyabo, akanamusa, njengoba umyeni wakhewayenjalo.88 Futhi emva kwesikhashana, manje-ke, uyacabanga, “O, awu,ngikwenzile lokho, ngizothandana nomunye.” Uyaqhubeka.Uyahamba uyaphambili.

Malizwakaleliphuma eVangelini lapha. Kuyafakazisa ukuthi akakholelwa.Ngokuba, ubengeke azenze lezozinto. Ubengeke enzengaleyondlela. Ubeyoba nemicabango ehlukile. Ubezobuswayinto ehlukile; umphefumulo wakhe.91 Okokuqala uyaLidabukisa, emuva lapho, ngenkathieqala ukuphuma, emehlisa emenyusa umyeni wakhe.

opozamu isilwane esithi asifane nenkawu esifaka amazinyaneaso esikhwameni, ngeleshumi nqo emini.195 Ziyaphuphutheka ngalesosikhathi sosuku.Ziyaphuphutheka, zonke, emini. Ziyisilwane sasebusukuesigijima ebusuku. Ziyadla, futhi zidle zijikajika, futhi zitholeukudla kwazo ebusuku. Nonke niyakwazi lokho. Iopozamuiyisilwane esidliwayo.196 Futhi sajika sangena esangweni. Ngaphuma ukubangihlangabeze iopozamu. Ngathatha ihhala. Ngacabanga,“Yisimanga! Ngahle ukuba iyimpumputhe. Yini eyenza yenzefuthi ibhadazele kanjalo na?” Ngabeka ihhala phezu kwayo.Futhi yaphenduka yase ingibuka, yase ihhahhama. Ngacabanga,“Kukhona into eyisimanga.”197 Futhi kwenzeka ngabuka phansi ephaketheni layo.Iopozamu yinto eyodwa, ngaphandle kwekangaru, zimbilikuphela enesikhwama ezithwala ngaso izinyane lazo. Futhiesikhwameni se opozamu, yayinesishiyagalombili nomaisishiyagalolunye sezingane ezincane ezingenaboya phakathilapho. Yayibanjwe yinja, kumbe noma yimoto; yephuka umlenze,ithambo layo lomkhono. Izimpukane eziluhlaza zigcwelekuyo; izimpethu ezindlebeni, kanjalo njalo. Futhi yayilapha,ixhuga kanjalo. Futhi yahhahhama ngoba yayicabanga ukuthingangithatha abantwana bayo.198 Ngathi, “Leyo-opozamu inobuningi ubumama ngayokunenqwaba yabesifazane, ikakhulukazi lona wesifazaneowaphosa ingane yakhe emfuleni, ngeliny’ilanga, ukubaisuke kuye.” Ngathi kuGene noLeo, behlezi emuva lapho,ngathi, “Wozani lapha futhi ngizonifundisa intshumayelo.”Ngathi, “Bukani izimilo zalona wesifazane. Bukani izimilozalelinenekazi. Yisilwane esiyisimungulu, kodwa sinobuningiubunenekazi ngaso kunamapesente angamashumi amaneabesifazane baseMelika.” Kunjalo. Ngathi, “Sisalelwe njecishe yihora ukuba siphile, ngokubukeka siyikho, kodwasiyochitha lelohora silwela ukuvikela labobantwana baso.Nalaba besifazane baphumela lapha futhi babe nezinganeezincane, bese bezincish’umoya, futhi bazigwilizise, futhibaziphose emlilweni, nezinto; babi ukwedlula izinja, babiukwedlula izilwane.”199 Inenekazi elincane alilindanga. Alimanga nokuma,nganhlanye. Laqonda ngqo ezitebhisini zami; futhi, liphelelweamandla, lalala lapho. Sazama ukulisukumisa. Lase lingasekho.Lalilokhu lisabhonga, lizwa ubuhlungu obesabekayo.200 UNkk. Woods uyenyuka, noMn. Woods nabo, bathi,“Mfowethu Branham, ngikholwa ukuthi into ewubuntu efaneleyenziwe, ngukuba, kubulawe iopozamu. Lezozingane ezincanebandla zizofa yindlala.” Wathi, “Yiyonanto kuphela ongayenza,obungayenza.”

201 Omunye umuntu uyafika wayesethi, “Mfowethu Branham,awuyibulali ngani iopozamu na?”Wathi, “Ibulale. Iyafa.” Wathi,“Ilele lapho izwa ubuhlungu.” Wathi, “Khipha izingane beseuyazibulala. Zingaba ngcono.” Wathi, “Azinawo umphefumulo.Yisilwane esiyisimungulu nje, isilwane nje.” Wathi, “Izintwanaezincane bandla zizobulawa yindlala. Umama bandla elelelapho, nalezozingane ezincane zincela lolobisi kuye, futhiuyasazi isimo akade ekuso,” wathi, “zizofa.”202 Ngathi, ngathi, “Yiqiniso, ngingumzingeli, kodwa angisuyeumbulali.” Ngathi, “Ngiyakuthanda ukuzingela, kodwaangibulali ukuba ngibulale nje. Lowo ngumbulali.” Kunjalo.Angibulali lutho engingeke ngiludle, noma into engingekengayisebenzisa, noma into ebhubhisayo. Hhayi ukubulala ukubangibulale; lowo ngumbulali wangamabomu. Ngangingekwenze.Nje ngangingekwenze.203 Futhi ngangazi ngokuba nokuhlakanipha, ezindawenizangokwengqondo, ngendlela eyiyo yokucabanga, intoyokobuntu ukuba yenziwe bekungaba, ukuyenza, kuyobaukubulala iopozamu nabantwana. Iopozamu yayifa, yayingekeiphinde isimame futhi. Nabantwana babeyobulawa yindlala.Nokuphuza lolobisi oselujiyile oludala kunina, bebezofelamhlawumbe osizini. Into engcono kunakho konke ukubayenziwe ngukubakhipha osizini. ‘Leyo kwakuyinto ethintanayo.Kodwa Into ethize phansi lapha yayingangivumeli ukubangikwenze.

UMfowethu Woodswathi, “Uyawubona lowayamdlwane omncane emuva laphayaemgwaqeni na?” Wathi, “Uzothola ukufihlizeka.” Ngashwibaimoto yami ngase ngibuyela emuva.

Nakho kulele iopozamu endala, ilele emuva lapho, labobantwana bezamaukuncela oluncane, oluningi ubisi kuyo, ukuphila kuphumakumama. Wayesalokhu ebubula ngokwesabekayo.

Ngacabanga, “Nkulunkulu, bengifanelengihambe ngingene bese ngithatha isibhamu bese ngibulala leyoopozamu, kodwa angikwazi ukukwenza. Yini indaba, Nkosi na?”Ngahamba phansi ngehla-ngenyuka.210 Kwasa. Iopozamu endala ilele lapho. Ngabuyela emuva,ngacabanga, “O Nkulunkulu, nanso, lelolanga elishisayo, ileleesitebhisini sami impela.” Ngaqala ukuhamba ngibuyela emuvangedlula kwiphansi.211 UMoya oNgcwele obusisiwe wangimisa, wathi, “Uyibizengenenekazi.

Ulapha, wenzela ihora lokuvala,wenzela ngisho izibusiso ezinkulu kunezinye, “wenzela ukubaimvula yokuqala neyamuva ihlangane ndawonye.”231 Namanje, Baba, uma kubakhona ukungaqondi kunomayiluphi ulwazi lomuntu lokuzibonela, kulelikamelo;ngiyakhuleka, Baba, ngalelihora, bazominyanisa ukhololwabo, hhayi endleleni yabo yengqondo yokucabanga, hhayiekuzindleni ngemfundiso yomuntu, kodwa ekukholweni kweZwilikaNkulunkulu, ekuPhileni okungunaphakade. Lezizibusisosizicela eGameni likaJesu, iNdodana yaKho.232 Amakhanda ethu ekhotheme, angazi noma ukhonayini umuntu phakathi lapha manje, ozothi ngokuhloniphauphakamise isandla sakho na? Bese uthi, “Ngiyakwenza lokhu,hhayi kumshumayeli, kodwa kuNkulunkulu. Nkulunkulu,guqula indlela yami yokucabanga. Ngizamile ukuzindlangokuthi lezizinto ziyobanjani.

Ngizamile ukuzindla konke, Nkulunkulu.Kodwa, namhlanje, ngeke ngisazindla. Ngiphakamisela isandlasami khona manje kuWe, Nkulunkulu, futhi ngithi lobungubufakazi bami. Uma Uzokhipha izizindlo kimi, futhiuvumele umphefumulo wami uthathe indawo yawo ukubangikholwe yiZwi laKho ngaphandle kokuzindla, ngizokholwaukuthi liyizwi elizwakalayo elinikwa mina.” Uzosiphakamisaisandla sakho na? Noma ubani endlini, noma ngabe ukuphi.UNkulunkulu akubusise, wena, wena, nawe, nawe, nawe. Cisheamapesente angamashumi ayisishiyagalombili-nanhlanu endlu.233 Ukuzindla? “Lahlani izizindlo.” Zilahleni phansi.UNkulunkulu akafuni nibe nomzindlo. Umzindlo njalouzama ukuthola indlela yokuphuma. Ukukholwa akuzindli.Ukukholwa kuyakholwa nje. Ingqondo yakho, yini ekwenzauzindle. Ngamanga. Umshini wokuhlola amanga uyakufakazisalokho.

Ngiyakhuleka,Nkulunkulu, ukuthi lokhu kuzoba ngukuthinta kokugcina,namhlanje; ngeke besazindla; bazohamba, bekholwa. Siphekhona, Nkosi. Kuyizwi elizwakalayo. Yizwi leVangeli, unyakawejubili wenkazimulo. Isikhathi sokukhululwa sesilapha.243 Ungeke yini, ngiyacela, Baba, uthathe ngamunye waboubafake ekunakekeleni kwaKho na? Bese ubapha ubisioluqotho lweVangeli manje. Futhi uma sebevele beluthathilelolo, kwangathi bangemukela inyama eqinile manje, futhibabe ngamaKristu agcwele; bangabe besancetheza nezenezwe, futhi bazitike ezweni; kodwa babe ngabesilisanabesifazane bangempela, bekholwa izwi eliqondakalayo,ukuthi iVangeli liqinisile, akunandaba ukuthi ubani othiAliqinisile. IBhayibheli, lonke iZwi, liqinisile. “Abantubafundisa iMfundiso eyimiyalo yabantu.” Kodwa iZwilikaNkulunkulu alisoze lahluleka. Kwangathi bangaLikholwa,namhlanje.244 Nalabo abangaziphakamisanga izandla zabo, abanelisekilengempela, kodwa abangaziphakamisanga izandla zabo,siyabakhulekela, futhi, Nkosi, ukuthi Uzobahawukela.Lezizibusiso siyazicela, Baba, ngenxa yokuthi ngoluny’usukusiza ekwaHlulelweni. NoMlayezo walokhu ukusa uzolethwaobala ngaloloSuku. Manje-ke kwangathi umphefumulo waboungebahluphe, uthi, “Ubufanele ngabe wakwenza lokhu.”Kodwa kwangathi kungaba ukuthula esigodini uma bedlula.Ngokuba eGameni likaJesu siyakucela.
