25:1 Privind la Isus 25:2 Multi fac o greseala serioasa in viata lor religioasa, avand atentia indreptata asupra sentimentelor lor si judecand dupa acest criteriu inaintarea, progresul sau declinul lor. Sentimentele nu sunt un criteriu sigur. Noi nu trebuie sa privim inauntrul nostru ca sa avem dovada ca Dumnezeu ne-a primit. Nu vom gasi acolo decat descurajare. Singura noastra speranta este de a ‘‘privi la Isus, 25:3 Autorul si desavarsitorul credintei noastre”. In El exista tot ce inspira speranta, credinta si curaj. El este neprihanirea noastra, mangaierea si bucuria noastra. 25:4 Aceia care vor privi inauntrul lor pentru sprijin vor fi dezgustati si dezamagiti. Un simtamant al slabiciunii si nevredniciei noastre ne va conduce cu o inima smerita sa facem apel la jertfa ispasitoare a Domnului Hristos. Sprijinindu-ne pe meritele Lui, vom gasi odihna, pace si bucurie. El ii mantuieste in chip desavarsit pe toti cei care vin la Dumnezeu prin El. 25:5 Trebuie sa ne incredem zilnic si in fiecare clipa in Domnul Isus. El a fagaduit ca taria noastra va fi cat zilele noastre. Prin harul Sau, noi putem purta toate poverile prezente si ne putem indeplini toate indatoririle. Dar multi sunt doborati de anticiparea necazurilor viitoare. Ei cauta mereu sa aduca in prezent poverile de maine. In felul acesta, o mare parte din necazurile lor sunt imaginare. Pentru astfel de necazuri Dumnezeu n-a facut nici o rezerva, El fagaduieste har numai pentru astazi. El ne cere sa nu ne impovaram singuri cu grijile si necazurile zilei de maine; caci ‘‘ajunge zilei necazul ei” . 25:6 Obiceiul de a te gandi la relele ce vor veni este neintelept si necrestinesc. Facand astfel, nu ne vom bucura de binecuvantarile oferite si nu vom folosi ocaziile prezente. Domnul ne cere sa ne indeplinim indatoririle zilei de astazi si sa suportam incercarile ei. Noi trebuie sa veghem astazi ca nu cumva sa gresim in cuvant sau fapta. Noi trebuie sa laudam astazi si sa onoram pe Dumnezeu. Prin exercitarea unei credinte vii astazi, noi vom putea sa biruim pe vrajmas. Noi trebuie sa cautam pe Dumnezeu astazi si sa fim hotarati sa nu ne oprim satisfacuti, fara prezenta Lui. Noi trebuie sa veghem si sa ne rugam ca si cand aceasta ar fi ultima zi ce ne mai este data. Cat de intensa si plina de zel ar fi viata noastra! Cat de strans am urma noi atunci pe Isus in tot ceea ce spunem si facem! 25:7 Sunt putini aceia care apreciaza cum se cuvine si folosesc pretiosul privilegiu al rugaciunii. Noi trebuie sa mergem la Domnul Isus si sa-I spunem toate nevoile noastre. Noi trebuie sa-I prezentam micile noastre griji si nedumeriri, 25:8 ca si marile noastre necazuri. Orice probleme s-ar ivi, care ne-ar tulbura sau ne-ar intrista, sa venim cu ele la Domnul, in rugaciune. Cand simtim ca avem nevoie de prezenta Domnului Hristos la fiecare pas, atunci Satana va avea putine ocazii sa vina cu ispitele lui. Efortul sau studiat este acela de a ne tine departe de cel mai bun si cel mai intelegator prieten al nostru. N-ar trebui sa avem alt confident, decat pe Domnul Isus. Noi putem sa impartasim cu El tot ce avem in inimile noastre. 25:9 Frati si surori, cand va adunati pentru a va inchina, sa credeti ca Isus Se intalneste cu voi; sa credeti ca El este binevoitor sa va binecuvanteze. Intoarceti-va ochii de la voi; priviti la Isus, vorbiti despre dragostea Lui inegalabila. Privind la El, va veti schimba, facandu-va asemenea Lui. Cand va rugati, fiti scurti si la subiect. Nu tineti o predica Domnului in rugaciunea voastra lunga. Cereti painea vietii asa cum un copil flamand cere paine de la tatal sau pamantesc. Dumnezeu va revarsa asupra noastra orice binecuvantare de care avem nevoie, daca cerem de la El in simplitate si credinta. 25:10 Rugaciunile inaltate de pastori inainte de predica lor sunt in mod frecvent lungi si nepotrivite. Ei cuprind o multime de subiecte ce nu au nici o legatura cu nevoile ocaziei respective sau cu nevoile oamenilor. Astfel de rugaciuni sunt potrivite a fi inaltate in camaruta, dar nu in public. Ascultatorii obosesc si doresc ca pastorul sa incheie. Fratilor, purtati pe oameni cu voi in rugaciune. Mergeti la Mantuitorul vostru in credinta, spuneti-I cu ocazia aceea tot ce aveti nevoie. Lasati ca fiinta sa se inalte spre Dumnezeu cu o dorinta puternica pentru binecuvantarea necesara pentru acel timp. 25:11 Rugaciunea este exercitiul cel mai sfant pentru suflet. Ea trebuie sa fie sincera, smerita, calduroasa - dorinta unei inimi renascute, rostite in prezenta unui Dumnezeu Sfant. Cand cel care se roaga simte ca se afla in prezenta Divinitatii, eul va fi iertat. El nu va avea dorinta sa etaleze talentul omenesc; el nu va cauta sa placa urechii omenesti, ci sa obtina binecuvantarea dupa care tanjeste sufletul. 25:12 Daca am crede pe Domnul pe cuvant, ce binecuvantari am avea. O, daca ar fi rugaciuni mai fierbinti, mai eficiente! Domnul Hristos va fi ajutorul tuturor acelora care-l cauta cu credinta. |

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).
