18:1 Cap. 16 - Nu sunteti ai vostri 18:2 Auzim uneori intrebarile: "Nu voi face niciodata ceea ce doresc? Nu voi avea niciodata drumul meu? Va trebui sa ma abtin intotdeauna? Nu voi putea actiona niciodata in concordanta cu inclinatiile mele?" 18:3 Cu cat mai putin iti vei urma inclinatiile naturale, cu atat mai bine va fi pentru tine si pentru ceilalti. Inclinatiile naturale au fost pervertite, puterile naturale, folosite gresit. Satana i-a adus pe oameni in conflict cu Dumnezeu. El lucreaza continuu pentru a distruge imaginea lui Dumnezeu in om. De aceea, trebuie sa punem restrictie cuvintelor si actiunilor noastre. 18:4 Rezultatele deplinei consacrari 18:5 Cand harul lui Dumnezeu ia in stapanire inima, se vede cu claritate ca tendintele mostenite si cultivate in directia raului trebuie crucificate. In suflet trebuie sa inceapa o noua viata, sub un nou control. Tot ceea ce se face trebuie facut pentru slava lui Dumnezeu. Aceasta lucrare include atat exteriorul, cat si interiorul omului. Intreaga fiinta, trupul, sufletul si spiritul, trebuie adusa in subordonare fata de Dumnezeu, pentru a fi folosita de El ca un instrument al indreptatirii. 18:6 Omul firesc nu este subordonat Legii lui Dumnezeu si nici nu ar putea sa fie. Dar, prin credinta, viata celui ce a fost reinnoit va fi traita zi de zi in Hristos. Zi de zi, el arata ca realizeaza ca Ii apartine lui Dumnezeu, ca este proprietatea Sa. 18:7 Trupul si sufletul Ii apartin lui Dumnezeu. El L-a dat pe Fiul Sau pentru rascumpararea lumii si, prin aceasta, avem garantat un nou contract de viata, o incercare 18:8 in care trebuie sa dezvoltam caractere cu o loialitate oarba fata de El. Dumnezeu ne-a rascumparat din sclavia pacatului si a facut posibil ca noi sa putem trai regenerati, transformati, punandu-ne la dispozitia Sa pentru a face lucrarea Sa. 18:9 Toate puterile noastre Ii apartin 18:10 Pecetea lui Dumnezeu e pusa deasupra noastra. El doreste sa ne amintim ca puterile noastre fizice, mintale si morale Ii apartin. Timpul si influenta, judecata, afectiunea si constiinta, toate sunt ale lui Dumnezeu; si ne sunt date pentru a fi folosite in armonie cu vointa Sa. Nu ne sunt oferite pentru a fi folosite in concordanta cu tendintele lumii; pentru ca lumea este sub conducerea celui ce il intruchipeaza pe dusmanul lui Dumnezeu. 18:11 Corpul in care salasluieste sufletul, Ii apartine lui Dumnezeu. Fiecare putere si fiecare muschi sunt ale Lui. In nici un caz nu trebuie sa neglijam sau sa abuzam nici macar de un singur organ pentru a-l slabi. Noi trebuie sa colaboram cu Dumnezeu, pentru a ne pastra corpul in cea mai buna conditie in ceea ce priveste sanatatea, pentru a putea fi templul unde Spiritul Sfant sa locuiasca si sa modeleze fiecare putere fizica si spirituala in acord cu vointa lui Dumnezeu. 18:12 Mintea trebuie umpluta cu principii pure. Adevarul trebuie gravat pe tablele sufletului nostru. Memoria trebuie umpluta cu adevarurile pretioase ale Cuvantului lui Dumnezeu. Apoi, ca niste pietre pretioase frumoase, aceste adevaruri se vor reflecta in viata. 18:13 Pretul unui suflet 18:14 Valoarea pe care Dumnezeu o pune pe lucrul mainilor Sale - dragostea fata de copiii Sai - este relevata in darul pe care L-a facut pentru rascumpararea oamenilor. Adam a cazut sub stapanirea lui Satana. El a adus pacatul in 18:15 lume, iar prin acesta, moartea. Dumnezeu L-a dat pe singurul Sau Fiu zamislit pentru a-l salva pe om. El a facut totul pentru a arata ca este drept si poate indreptati pe toti cei ce-L accepta pe Hristos. Omul s-a vandut pe sine lui Satana, dar Isus a rascumparat rasa umana... 18:16 Tu nu iti apartii. Isus te-a rascumparat prin sangele Sau. Nu iti ingropa talentele. Foloseste-le pentru El. In orice fel de afacere ai fi angajat, ia-L pe Isus cu tine. Daca simti ca-ti pierzi dragostea pentru Mantuitorul tau, renunta la afacere si spune: "Aici sunt, Mantuitorule, ce trebuie sa fac?" El te va primi ingaduitor si te va iubi fara margini. El te va ierta, pentru ca este bogat in iertare si indelung rabdator, nedorind ca vreunul sa piara... 18:17 Noi cu tot ceea ce avem Ii apartinem lui Dumnezeu. N-ar trebui sa privim ca un sacrificiu faptul de a-I darui dragostea inimilor noastre. Inima insasi ar trebui oferita Lui cu o dorinta sincera, ca un dar de bunavoie. - YI, 8 noiembrie 1900 18:18 Decizia la care suntem chemati 18:19 Nu vom fi in siguranta, daca vom zabovi sa cantarim avantajele de a fi culesi de Satana, de a ceda sugestiilor sale. Pacatul inseamna dezonoare si dezastru pentru fiecare suflet care este ingaduitor cu el; pacatul este orb si inselator prin natura sa si ne va ispiti prin prezentari magulitoare. Daca ne aventuram pe taramul lui Satana, nu avem nici o asigurare de protectie impotriva puterii sale. Atat cat ne sta in putinta, ar trebui sa inchidem orice cale prin care ispita ar putea gasi acces la noi. - MB 171 |

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.
