64:1 Cap. 62 - Tinerii, castigatori de suflete 64:2 Satana este un dusman vigilent, iar scopul tau este de a-i conduce pe tineri pe o cale cu totul contrara celei pe care o aproba Dumnezeu. El stie foarte bine ca nu exista nici o alta grupare care poate face atat de mult bine ca tinerii care s-au consacrat lui Dumnezeu. Daca fac ceea ce este bine, tinerii pot avea o influenta puternica. Pastorii sau laicii inaintati in varsta nu pot avea nici jumatate din influenta pe care o au tinerii devotati lui Dumnezeu asupra celorlalti tineri. Ei ar trebui sa simta ca au asupra lor responsabilitatea de a-si salva semenii, chiar daca aceasta se face cu sacrificiul placerilor si dorintelor lor. Timpul si chiar mijloacele trebuie consacrate lui Dumnezeu, daca este nevoie. 64:3 Toti cei ce se pretind evlaviosi ar trebui sa simta pericolul care-i ameninta pe cei care nu sunt in Hristos. Curand, timpul lor de proba se va incheia. Cei care ar fi putut exercita o influenta in salvarea sufletelor, daca ar fi ascultat de sfatul lui Dumnezeu, dar nu si-au facut aceasta datorie din cauza egoismului, indolentei sau pentru ca s-au rusinat de crucea lui Hristos, nu numai ca-si vor pierde sufletul, dar vor avea asupra vesmintelor lor sangele sarmanilor pacatosi. Va trebui sa dea socoteala pentru binele pe care ar fi putut sa-l faca daca s-ar fi consacrat lui Dumnezeu, insa nu au facut acest lucru datorita necredinciosiei lor. 64:4 Aceia care au gustat cu adevarat bucuriile iubirii mantuitoare nu vor avea, nu vor putea avea odihna pana cand celor 64:5 din preajma lor nu li se va aduce la cunostinta planul mantuirii. Tinerii ar terbui sa se intrebe: "Doamne, ce vrei sa fac? Cum as putea onora si proslavi Numele Tau pe pamant?" Pretutindeni in jurul nostru pier suflete. Astfel stand lucrurile, ce fac tinerii pentru a castiga suflete pentru Hristos? 64:6 Grija pentru altii 64:7 Cei care urmeaza scoala ar putea fi martori pentru Mantuitorul; dar cine rosteste Numele lui Hristos? Si cine va fi vazut pledand cu grija staruitoare, pe langa colegii sai, ca sa renunte la caile pacatului si sa aleaga cararea sfintirii? 64:8 Acesta este cursul pe care tinerii credinciosi ar trebui sa-l urmeze, dar pe care nu-l urmeaza; se simt mult mai bine sa se uneasca cu cel pacatos in sporturi si placeri. Tinerii au o sfera larga de utilitate, pe care insa n-o vad. O, fie ca ei sa-si puna la lucru puterile mintii, cautand cai de a se apropia de pacatosii care pier, facandu-le cunoscuta cararea sfintirii si, prin rugaciuni si cereri staruitoare, sa castige macar un suflet pentru Hristos! 64:9 Ce lucrare nobila! Un suflet care sa-L laude pe Dumnezeu pentru vesnicie! Un suflet care sa se bucure de fericire si viata vesnica! O nestemata in coroana lor, ce va straluci ca o stea pentru vesnicie! Insa este posibil ca mai mult de un suflet sa fie intors din ratacire la adevar, de la pacat la sfintire. Domnul spune prin profet: "Cei ce vor invata pe multi sa umble in neprihanire vor straluci ca stelele in veac si in veci de veci." Cei ce se angajeaza cu Hristos si ingerii in lucrarea de salvare a sufletelor care pier sunt rasplatiti din belsug in Imparatia cerului. 64:10 Am vazut ca multe suflete ar putea fi salvate daca tinerii ar fi acolo unde ar trebui sa fie, devotati lui Dumnezeu si adevarului; dar in general ei ocupa o astfel de pozitie incat necesita ca o permanenta preocupare sa se rasfranga asupra lor, altfel ei insisi vor deveni ai lumii. Ei sunt o sursa continua de neliniste si dureri de inima. Lacrimi curg in contul lor si rugaciuni agonizante se inalta din inima parintilor pentru ei. Si totusi ei merg inainte nepasatori la durerea pe care o produce purtarea lor. Ei planteaza ghimpi in pieptul acelora care ar muri pentru a-i salva si a deveni ceea ce Dumnezeu doreste ca ei sa devina, prin meritele sangelui lui Hristos... 64:11 O lucrare de facut 64:12 Tineri si tinere, am vazut ca Dumnezeu are pentru voi o lucrare de facut; luati-va crucea si urmati-L pe Hristos, altfel nu sunteti vrednici de El. In timp ce voi ramaneti intr-o indiferenta nepasatoare, cum puteti spune care este vointa lui Dumnezeu cu privire la voi? Si cum va asteptati sa fiti salvati, daca nu sunteti servitori credinciosi, implinind vointa Domnului? Cei care au viata vesnica isi vor fi terminat lucrarea. Regele slavei ii va ridica la dreapta Sa in timp ce le va spune: "Bine, robi buni si credinciosi". Cum puteti spune cate suflete ati fi putut salva de la dezastru, daca, in loc de a va fi facut placerile, ati fi cautat sa vedeti ce ati fi putut face in via Stapanului? Pentru cate suflete au fost spre mantuire aceste intalniri pentru discutii si muzica? Daca nu puteti indica nici un suflet astfel salvat, intoarceti-va si 64:13 schimbati-va cursul actiunii voastre. Incepeti sa va rugati pentru suflete, apropiati-va de Hristos, de coasta Sa insangerata. Fie ca un spirit bland si umil sa va impodobeasca viata, iar cererile voastre umile, staruitoare, sa urce spre El, pentru a primi intelepciunea de a avea succes in salvarea nu doar a propriului suflet, ci si al altora. 64:14 Rugati-va mai mult decat cantati. Nu credeti ca aveti o nevoie mai mare de a va ruga decat de a canta? Tineri si tinere, Dumnezeu va cheama sa lucrati, sa lucrati pentru El. Schimbati-va in intregime atitudinea. Voi puteti face o lucrare pe care nici cei care lucreaza prin cuvant si invatatura nu o pot face. Puteti ajunge la o categorie de oameni la care pastorul nu are acces. - 1 T 511-513 64:15 ___________ 64:16 De unde sa incepem 64:17 Lasati-i pe cei ce vor sa lucreze pentru Dumnezeu sa inceapa cu cei din casa lor, din propriul lor camin, cu cei din cartierul lor, cu prietenii lor. Aici ei vor gasi un camp misionar favorabil. Acest gen de lucrare misionara este un test ce va descoperi capacitatea sau incapacitatea lor de a lucra intr-un camp mai larg. - 6T 428 64:18 ___________ 64:19 Cea mai de succes cale 64:20 In lucrarea noastra, efortul individual va realiza mai mult decat estimam. Pentru ca aceasta lipseste, se pierd suflete. Un suflet are o infinita valoare; Calvarul vorbeste despre valoarea sa. Un suflet castigat pentru Hristos va fi un instrument in castigarea altora si va obtine o masura crescanda de binecuvantare si salvare. - GW 184 |

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.
