148:1 Cap. 146 - Semanarea semintelor salbatice 148:2 Putin timp petrecut in semanarea unor seminte salbatice, dragi tineri, va produce o recolta care va va amari toata viata; un ceas de necugetare si o cedare in fata ispitei va pot orienta intreaga viata in directia cea rea. Puteti avea numai o tinerete, faceti-o folositoare. O data ce ati trecut pragul, nu va mai puteti intoarce sa reparati greselile. Cel care refuza legatura cu Dumnezeu si se asaza in calea ispitei va cadea cu siguranta. Dumnezeu il incearca pe fiecare tanar. Multi si-au scuzat nepasarea si lipsa de respect din cauza exemplului rau pe care li l-au dat marturisitori ai credintei mai experimentati. Dar aceasta nu trebuie sa impiedice pe nici unul sa faca binele. La ziua socotelilor de pe urma, nu veti invoca astfel de scuze pe care le invocati acum. Veti fi condamnati pe drept, pentru ca ati cunoscut calea, dar n-ati ales sa mergeti pe ea. 148:3 Ispita 148:4 Satana, acel arhivrajmas, se preface intr-un inger de lumina si vine la tineri cu ispitele lui amagitoare, reusind sa-i castige, pas cu pas, si sa-i intoarca de pe calea datoriei. El este descris ca fiind un acuzator, un inselator, un mincinos, un chinuitor si un ucigas. "Cine pacatuieste este de la diavolul." Fiecare calcare de lege atrage condamnarea sufletului si provoaca neplacerea divina. Gandurile inimii sunt cunoscute 148:5 de Dumnezeu. Cand sunt nutrite ganduri necurate, nu este necesar ca ele sa fie exprimate prin cuvinte sau fapte pentru a comite pacatul, aducand astfel condamnarea asupra sufletului. Curatia lui este patata si ispititorul a triumfat. 148:6 Fiecare om este ispitit cand este atras de pofta lui insusi si momit. El s-a indepartat de calea virtutii si a binelui real, urmand propriile inclinatii. Daca tinerii sunt integri din punct de vedere moral, ispitele cele mai puternice pot fi prezentate in zadar. Actiunea lui Satana este sa te ispiteasca, dar a te preda este propria ta actiune. Nu sta in puterea intregii ostiri a lui Satana sa-l forteze pe cel ispitit sa pacatuiasca. Nu exista scuza pentru pacat. 148:7 In timp ce unii tineri isi irosesc puterile in desertaciune si nebunie, altii isi instruiesc mintea, adunand cunostinta, incingandu-se cu armura spre a se angaja in lupta vietii, hotarati s-o faca sa fie un succes. Dar ei nu pot avea succes in viata, oricat de sus ar incerca sa se catere, daca nu-si concentreaza afectiunile asupra lui Dumnezeu. Daca vor sa se intoarca la Domnul cu toata inima, respingand lingusirile celor care slabesc in cea mai mica masura tinta lor de a face binele, ei vor avea tarie si incredere in Dumnezeu. 148:8 Amuzamentele desarte nu aduc adevarata fericire 148:9 Cei care iubesc societatea isi satisfac frecvent aceasta caracteristica, pana ce devine o pasiune dominanta. A se imbraca, a vizita locuri de distractie, a rade si a discuta despre subiecte mai usoare decat desertaciunea - aceasta este tinta vietii lor. Ei nu pot suporta sa citeasca Biblia si sa-si atinteasca privirea spre lucrurile ceresti. Sunt nenorociti daca nu exista ceva 148:10 care sa-i excite. N-au in ei putere ca sa fie fericiti, ci fericirea lor depinde de societatea altor tineri, tot atat de necugetati si nepasatori ca si ei. Puterile, care ar trebui sa fie folosite pentru scopuri nobile, le predau nebuniei si risipei. 148:11 Tanarul care gaseste bucurie si fericire in citirea Cuvantului lui Dumnezeu si in oraite rugaciune este continuu reimprospatat prin energia care vine din fantana vietii. El va atinge o inaltime de desavarsire morala si o largime de cugetare pe care altii n-o pot concepe. Comunicarea cu Dumnezeu incurajeaza cugete curate, aspiratii nobile, intelegeri clare ale adevarului si tinte inalte de actiune. Cei care isi leaga in felul acesta sufletele de Dumnezeu sunt recunoscuti de El ca fii si fiice ale Sale. Ei ajung continuu din ce in ce mai sus, obtinand vederi mai clare despre Dumnezeu si vesnicie, pana cand Domnul va face canale de lumina si intelepciune pentru lume... 148:12 Cei care raman in Hristos vor fi fericiti, veseli si bucurosi in Dumnezeu. O blandete calma se va manifesta in glas, un respect pentru lucrurile spirituale si vesnice vor fi exprimate in actiune si muzica, o muzica vesela care va rasuna de pe buze, pentru ca ea adie de la tronul lui Dumnezeu. Aceasta este taina evlaviei, care nu-i usor de explicat, dar, cu toate acestea, este simtita si gustata. O inima incapatanata si razvratita poate inchide usa pentru toate placutele influente ale harului lui Dumnezeu si pentru toata bucuria in Duhul Sfant, dar caile intelepciunii sunt cai ale prieteniei si toate cararile ei sunt pace. Cu cat suntem mai strans legati de Hristos, cu atat mai mult vor arata cuvintele si faptele noastre puterea alinatoare si transformatoare a harului Sau. - T4 622-626 |

Special note for ANDROID SmartPhones
I recommend to download PhoneMe emulator for Android from here.
Especially I recommend phoneME Advanced - Foundation Profile + MIDP High Resolution b168 rev20547 from here, or from here.
Then you have to build your application, to transfer the .jar and .jad files on your mobile phone and run using this nice emulator.
1. Install a Zip Utility from Android Market.
2. Install a File Manager from Android Market.
3. Download and install PhoneMe, as mentioned above.
4. Build your application by using Download Multilingual Service or Dynamic Download (zip).
5. Copy the zip file into your Android Phone and unzip the content in a folder, and then write down the path to the unzipped files and the name of the .jad file.
6. Launch PhoneMe from your smartphone.
7. Inside PhoneMe, write to the main window the path and the name to the .jad file, above mentioned. Will look something like: file:///mnt/sd/download/BiblePhone.jad and then press enter.
8. The application will be installed, and next a hyperlink will be available below the above mentioned textbox. On this way you can install as many of MIDP application you like on your Android Phone.
How to install the application in Java Mobile enabled phones
It is possible now to have the Holy Scriptures on your mobile phone and to read
it wherever you are due to the Mobile Information Device Profile (MIDP)
technology in 1.0 and 2.0 versions, developed for Java applications.
A good advice is to try in the beginning the MIDP 1.0 / 128 Kbytes version, and
progressively to advance to MIDP 2.0 and larger volumes (512 Kbytes or more).
The application is available for MIDP 2.0, MIDP 1.0. You have only to select one
table on the field MIDP2.0 or MIDP1.0, according to the desired Bible version.
Then, you shall make a click on the JAR (Java Archive) file in order to obtain
the software to be installed on your mobile phone.
I recommend you to start with STARTER(MIDP1.0old) edition, then to continue with
INTERMEDIATE(MIDP1.0), and in the end, if the mobile phone supports this thing,
to try to install the ADVANCED (MIDP2.0) edition. Also, start with 128 kbytes
volumes, continue with 512 kbytes, and at the end try the version in one file.
There are cases where the mobile phone requires so called JAD (Java Descriptor)
files. These JAD files has to be
uploaded, on this case, together with the desired JAR files(s).
There are different methods to download the applications in your mobile phone as
follows:
1. Directly from Internet by using a WAP or GPRS connection
2. By using the infrared port of the mobile phone
3. By wireless Bluetooth access to the mobile phone
4. By cable link between PC ad mobile phone
5. If none from the above cases are valid
Next, we shall examine each case in order to have a successfully installation of
the software.
1. Directly from Internet by using a WAP or GPRS connection
If your have Internet access on your mobile phone (e.g. WAP or GPRS), it is
enough to access
https://biblephone.intercer.net/wap/ from the browser of the mobile phone,
and to access the desired Bible version, and then to make an option about
MIDP1.0 or MIDP2.0, and finally to select the desired module (e.g. one or more).
After the last selection, the desired version will be downloaded on your mobile
phone.
Many phones have only this option for installing JAVA appplications.
2. By using the infrared port of the mobile phone
Sometimes there is a need for a special uploader software for specific mobile
phones.
If you don't have access to Internet directly from your mobile phone, then you
shall have to pass to this step requiring to have infrared ports on your mobile
phone and on the computer.
a. On this case, you will download the application by using the computer from
the Internet (i.e. JAR files).
b. Once the application is downloaded (preferable on the desktop) you will have
to activate the infrared port on the mobile phone and align it with the infrared
port of the computer (preferable laptop).
c. Then a window will appear asking what file you want to send to the mobile
phone. Next, you will select the downloaded JAR file, and after OK, the mobile
phone will ask you if you want to load that file. You say YES and the
application will be downloaded on your mobile phone.
d. Probably, you will be asked by the mobile phone where you want to save it (e.g.
on the games or applications directories). After you made this selection, the
file will be ready to be loaded for run.
The displaying preference can be set inside the application in order to have
larger fonts, full screen display etc.
3. By wireless Bluetooth access to the mobile phone
Sometimes there is a need for a special uploader software for specific mobile
phones.
This situation is similar with the infrared case. You have only to activate
Bluetooth access on your mobile phone (check if exists) and on the computer (check
if exists).
4. By cable link between PC ad mobile phone
Sometimes there is a need for a special uploader software for specific
mobile phones.
On this case the steps are as follows:
a. On this case, you will download the application by using the computer from
the Internet (i.e. JAR files).
b. Once the application is downloaded (preferable on the desktop) you will have
to set up the wired connection between the mobile phone and the computer. Next,
you will start the synchronization / data transfer application and download the
JAR file in your mobile phone. Surely, you will have to consult the CD of your
mobile phone.
c. By this application you shall transfer into your mobile phone the JAR file in
the games or applications directories. Next, you will have to select for run the
JAR desired file.
5. If none from the above cases are valid
On this unhappy case, I recommend you to find a friend with a laptop having
infrared / Bluetooth capabilities, or to buy a data link cable, or to change
your current model of mobile phone.
Unfortunately, some models of mobile phones require only WAP/GPRS in order to
download and run Java applications.
Sometimes there is a need for a special uploader software for specific mobile
phones. Therefore check the documentation of them and also the page for specific
models.
Why so many versions? Simple, because not all the mobile phones support the
Bible in one file with MIDP 2.0 (the most advanced for the time being).
Multilingual Online Ebooks
It is possible now to have the inspirational ebooks on your browser and to read it allowing you to make comparisons between different translations or versions for a specific language. This occasion is unique, and you have only to browse to the desired author and book.
