37:1 Cap. 35 - Autodisciplina 37:2 "Cel incet la manie pretuieste mai mult decat un viteaz si cine este stapan pe sine pretuieste mai mult decat cine cucereste cetati." El a invins, a cucerit eul - cel mai puternic dusman pe care-l putea intalni. 37:3 Cea mai inalta dovada de noblete la un crestin este autocontrolul. Acela care poate sta nemiscat in mijlocul furtunii de abuzuri este un erou al lui Dumnezeu. 37:4 A-ti guverna spiritul inseamna a-ti pastra eul sub control, a rezista raului, a-ti regla fiecare actiune si fiecare cuvant dupa maretul standard al indreptatirii lui Dumnezeu. Cel care a invatat sa-si struneasca spiritul se va ridica deasupra lucrurilor neinsemnat I a esecurilor, necazurilor carora le suntem zilnic expusi, impiedicandu-le sa castige si prin aceasta sa aduca intuneric asupra sufletului. 37:5 Este scopul lui Dumnezeu ca puterea imparateasca a gandirii sfintite, controlate de harul divin, sa conduca in vietile oamenilor. Cel ce-si controleaza spiritul este in posesia acestei puteri. 37:6 Puterea autocontrolului 37:7 In copilarie si tinerete, caracterul este cel mai usor de modelat. Puterea autocontrolului ar trebui sobandita atunci. Din viata de familie si din influenta caminului provin rezultatele care sunt la fel de durabile ca si vesnicia. Mai mult decat orice inclinatie naturala, obiceiurile stabilite in primii ani vor decide daca un om va fi invingator sau invins in lupta vietii. 37:8 In folosirea limbajului, nu este probabil nici o indoiala ca batranii si tinerii sunt mai inclinati sa treaca 37:9 peste lucrurile marunte din viata lor, cum ar fi o vorbire necugetata, plina de iritare. Ei cred ca este o scuza suficienta sa spuna: "Nu eram ’in garda’ si nu am vrut sa spun exact ce am spus". Dar Cuvantul lui Dumnezeu nu tolereaza aceasta cu usurinta. Scriptura spune: "Daca vezi un om care vorbeste nechibzuit, poti sa nadajduiesti mai mult de la un nebun decat de la el." "Omul care nu este stapan pe sine este ca o cetate surpata si fara ziduri." 37:10 Cea mai mare parte a neplacerilor vietii, supararile si iritarile, se datoreaza unui temperament necontrolat. Intr-un moment, prin cuvinte repezite, pline de pasiune, nepasatoare, poate fi facut un rau, pe care o cainta de o viata intreaga nu-l poate repara. O, cate inimi zdrobite, prieteni indepartati, vieti naufragiate prin cuvinte repezite si aspre ale acelor care ar fi putut aduce ajutor si vindecare! 37:11 Excesul de munca produce uneori o pierdere a autocontrolului. Dar Dumnezeu nu obliga niciodata la miscari grabite si complicate. Multi isi aduna poveri pe care induratorul Tata ceresc nu le-a pus in sarcina lor. Indatoriri pe care niciodata nu le-a preconizat pentru ei ii urmaresc cu salbaticie. Dumnezeu doreste sa ne dam seama ca nu-I glorificam Numele cand luam asupra noastra atatea poveri, devenind oameni cu inima si creierul slabit, uzati, agitati si galcevitori. Noi trebuie sa purtam doar responsabilitatile pe care le-a dat Dumnezeu, increzandu-ne in El si astfel pastrandu-ne inimile curate, amabile si simtitoare. 37:12 Controlul asupra spiritului 37:13 In tacere se afla o putere minunata. Cand ti se spun cuvinte neplacute, nu te razbuna. 37:14 Cuvintele spuse in replica unuia care este nervos actioneaza de obicei ca un bici, starneste si mai mult furia. Dar mania care intalneste tacere se stinge curand. Crestinii sa-si infraneze limba si cu fermitate sa se straduiasca sa nu vorbeasca aspru si repezit. Cu limba infranata, poti fi victorios in orice incercare a rabdarii prin care esti chemat sa treci. 37:15 Prin forte proprii, omul nu-si poate conduce spiritul. Dar, prin Hristos, poate castiga autocontrolul. Prin puterea Lui, poate sa-si aduca gandurile si cuvintele in subordonare fata de vointa lui Dumnezeu. Religia lui Hristos aduce sentimentele sub controlul ratiunii si disciplineaza limba. Sub influenta sa, temperamentul repezit este supus, iar inima este umpluta cu rabdare si amabilitate. 37:16 Tineti-va ferm de Cel care are toata puterea in cer si pe pamant. Chiar daca, de cele mai multe ori, atitudinea ta nu este rabdatoare si calma, nu renunta la lupta. Incearca din nou, de data aceasta mai ferm, sa fii rabdator, indiferent de provocare. Si niciodata nu-ti lua ochii de la exemplul tau divin. - RH, 31 octombrie 1907 37:17 Nici o scuza pentru pacatuire 37:18 Lucrarea ispititorului nu trebuie considerata ca scuza pentru o fapta gresita. Satana jubileaza cand ii aude pe urmasii declarati ai lui Hristos aducand scuze pentru diformitatea caracterului lor. Tocmai aceste scuze conduc la pacat. Nu exista nici o scuza pentru a pacatui. Un caracter sfant, o viata asemanatoare lui Hristos sunt accesibile fiecarui copil al lui Dumnezeu care se caieste si crede. - DA 311 |

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).
