 Prietenia cu Ed Timmons, Partea 8:2

Acest lucru mi s-a părut o propunere bună, deoarece nu urma să am obligații față de el sau de altcineva. Puteam să mă opresc și să încep când voiam eu. Așa că, după vreo două luni, timp în care m-am rugat și am studiat acest aspect, m-am dus să lucrez pentru Ed Timmons, în calitate de comis-voiajor pentru compania Tyco Oil, al cărei director general era el.

Domnul Timmons a hotărât să meargă cu mine în prima săptămână, să mă instruiască în arta de a vinde și să-mi comunice unde se află terenul meu de acțiune. Când eram gata să începem, mi-a spus că asta va fi săptămâna în care voi predica întrucât îmi făcuse programări. În prima seară ne-am oprit la o bisericuță din Fulton, Kansas, și, spre surprinderea mea, l-am întâlnit acolo pe bătrânul Frate Gamble, pe care îl cunoscusem înainte să fiu mântuit. Construise această biserică în Fulton și aștepta doar să vină cineva să predice pentru el. Anunțaserăm oamenii că venim, iar ei ne căutau.

În seara următoare am fost în Rich Hill, Missouri. Când am ajuns la hotel, l-am întrebat pe proprietar dacă există vreo adunare în oraș, iar el ne-a spus că are loc o adunare a Mișcării Sfinților din Zilele din Urmă și o citire a Bibliei. Așa că, în loc să mergem la un spectacol sau ceva de genul acesta, cum aveam în suflet ceva diferit, ne-am dus la Cursurile Biblice.

Pastorul bisericii predica capitolul al zecelea din Fapte, de la versetul douăzeci și șase până la versetul patruzeci și patru, și nu încerca să propovăduiască nimic altceva decât botezul cu apă. Eu și fratele Timmons răspunseserăm la câteva dintre întrebările sale atunci când a dorit să știe dacă vreunul dintre noi este predicator, iar fratele Timmons i-a spus că eu sunt.

Apoi m-a întrebat dacă în felul acesta am privit acea Scriptură, și anume că oamenii aceia aveau să primească un botez spiritual, iar cei din epoca modernă aveau să primească doar botez cu apă. L-am întrebat: „Frate, este același botez despre care predica același Petru și pe care oamenii l-au primit în ziua Rusaliilor?” Mi-a răspuns: „Da, același Petru predică.” Am zis: „Același bărbat a spus în ziua aceea: «Asta este pentru tine și copiii tăi. Da, îl primim. Trebuie să îl avem. Eu îl am.»” Părea că nu știe exact ce să spună și, în cele din urmă, a zis: „Nu pot primi această interpretare, dar vom amâna cursul pentru diseară și îl vom ruga pe Fratele Hodge să predice pentru noi.”

Acum, cum îi făgăduisem Domnului că voi intra pe fiecare ușă deschisă, aici, spre surprinderea mea, era o ușă larg deschisă, așa că am pășit în față și le-am predicat oamenilor acelora așa cum nu mai predicasem până atunci. Înainte să termin, oamenii plângeau, iar Dumnezeu era acolo întru adevăr. Oamenii m-au rugat să mă întorc, dar am observat că pastorului nu-i păsa dacă mă întorc sau nu.

Când am plecat de la adunare, m-am uitat la luna care tocmai urca deasupra dealului și i-am spus Fratelui Timmons: „Tim, aș vrea să urc în vârful dealului și să mă rog.” El mi-a răspuns: „Avem o mașină bună aici și putem merge.” Ne-am dus în vârful dealului și, în timp ce stăteam în genunchi, pe preria pustie, Dumnezeu ne-a răspuns. Parcă cerurile s-au deschis larg și ne-au binecuvântat sufletele cu deplinătatea lui Dumnezeu, iar eu am strigat: „Doamne Dumnezeule, călăuzește-ne mașina mâine seară către o adunare a Sfințeniei aprinse.”

În seara următoare, în jurul orei șapte, am ajuns într-un oraș mic numit Eldorado Springs. Ni s-a spus că se ține o adunare acolo în seara aceea. Am intrat și am stat jos. Cântecele Sionului răsunau și am știut că suntem în locul potrivit. Dumnezeu era cu adevărat acolo. Oamenii ne-au invitat să ne întoarcem, iar noi le-am spus că vom veni dacă Domnul va dori acest lucru.

În următoarea seară am ajuns într-un oraș numit Butler și am stat într-un loc cunoscut sub numele de Cottage Hotel, administrat de un bărbat pe nume Harvey Johnson. L-am întrebat dacă știe că s-ar ține vreo adunare a Sfințeniei în oraș, iar el ne-a spus că are loc o adunare de rugăciune la Biserica Fratelui Wright. Am fost la adunare. A fost minunat. Și acolo am fost invitați să ne întoarcem, iar eu m-am întors și am găsit un prieten foarte bun în Fratele Wright. În sâmbăta aceea, când am plecat acasă, am simțit că petrecusem o săptămână nemaipomenită cu noul meu prieten.

Friendship With Ed Timmons, Part 8.2

This looked like a good proposition to me as I wouldn’t be under obligations to him or anyone else. I could stop when I wanted to and start when I wanted to. So after about two months of praying and studying over this matter I went to work for Ed Timmons, as a traveling salesman for the Tyco Oil Company of which Ed Timmons was the general manager.

Mr. Timmons decided to go with me the first week so as to instruct me in salesmanship and to let me know where my territory was. As we were ready to start, he told me that this was to be the one week that I would preach as he had made appointments for me. The first night we stopped at a little church in Fulton, Kansas, and to my surprise I met old Brother Gamble whom I had known before I was saved. He had built this church in Fulton and was just waiting for someone to come and preach for him. We had notified the people that we were coming and they were looking for us.

The next night we were in Rich Hill, Missouri. Upon arriving at the hotel we asked the landlord if there was a meeting of any kind in town; and he told us there was a Latter Day Saint meeting going on, and a Bible Reading. So instead of going to a show or something like that, as we had something different in our souls, we went down to the Bible Classes.

The pastor of the church was teaching the tenth chapter of Acts, from the twenty-sixth to the forty-fourth verses, and he was trying to teach nothing but water baptism. Brother Timmons and I had answered some of his questions when he asked us if one of us was a preacher, and Brother Timmons told him that I was.

Then he asked me if this was the way I looked at this Scripture-- that these people were to receive a spiritual baptism and that the people in modern days were to receive only water baptism. I asked him, “Brother, is this the same baptism that this same Peter was preaching about and that the people received on the day of Pentecost?” He said, “Yes, the same Peter preaching.” I said, “This same man said that day, This is for you and your children. Yes, we get it. We must have it. I have it.” It seemed as though he didn’t know just what to say, and finally he said, “I can’t get that interpretation, but we will adjourn the class for the night and we will ask Brother Hodge to preach for us.”

Now, I had promised the Lord I would enter every open door; and here to my surprise was a door wide open, so I stepped to the front and preached to those people as I had never preached before. Before I got through, the people were crying and God was there in truth. The people asked me to come back, but I could see that the pastor didn’t care whether I came back or not.

As we left the meeting, I looked at the moon that was just coming up over the hill, and said to Brother Timmons, “Tim, I would like to get on that hilltop and pray.” He said, “We have a good car here and we can go.” We went to the hilltop, and on our knees on the bare prairie we heard from God. It seemed as though the heavens were opened wide and blessed our souls with the fulness of God, and I cried out, “Lord God, guide our car to a red-hot Holiness meeting tomorrow night.”

About seven o’clock the next night we drove into a little town called Eldorado Springs. We were told that a meeting was being held there that night. We went in and sat down. The songs of Zion were ringing, and we knew we were in the right place. God was really there. The people invited us back, and we told them we would come if the Lord willed it.

The next night we came to a town called Butler, and we stayed at what is known as the Cottage Hotel managed by a man by the name of Harvey Johnson. We asked him if he knew of a Holiness meeting going on in town, and he said that there was a prayer meeting at Brother Wright’s Church. We went to the meeting. It was wonderful. We were invited back there also, and I have been back, and found a very good friend in Brother Wright. That Saturday, when I went home, I felt that I had had a wonderful week with my new-found friend.

Știți dacă sunteți născuți din nou sau salvați sau una cu Duhul Domnului? Vreți să fiți în același Duh cu Dumnezeu sau șă fiți salvați sau născuți din nou? Toate sunt același lucru. Nu există niciun nume sub cer prin care cineva poate fi salvat, în afară de numele lui Isus. Repată după mine. Isus, Isus, Isus, Isus!

Exhortation/This Is Not Of Me

I was talking on the phone with a friend this morning and a testimony came up that I had shared with them a while back.

I believe I was about 6 years of age and I was in a girl scout troop. The women over our troop decided that it would be great for us young girls to visit a nursing home and try to cheer up the people who were living there.

They took us to a facility that was in the neighborhood, and as we entered the main hallway, I observed elderly people shuffling around; some could barely walk. We continued down a main corridor which was the women’s ward. Some of the women were asleep, but the ones that were awake looked very oppressed.

I began to feel very uneasy being in that place as we began to walk to another part of the building, which was where the men stayed. As we got further down that corridor, the stench of urine was so overpowering I thought I was going to pass out. The sadness, the oppression and just the over all horror of that place was so alarming.

Fear gripped me and I thought to myself, I DON’T WANT THIS TO HAPPEN TO ME!

Immediately the Lord Jesus spoke to me and said, “This won’t happen to you..this is not of me.”

After Jesus spoke those words to me, the fear immediately left and those words have encouraged me throughout my whole adult life. As I became older, people would speak things to me about aging and how we are supposed to just fall apart and for our bodies not to function like they use too; that is all a lie.

Our bodies were not created to just break down after so many years. In Deuteronomy chapter 34:7, it says that Moses was a hundred and twenty years old when he died, yet his eyes were not weak nor his strength gone. (NIV)

I also want to encourage you with Isaiah 53:4-5. 4 Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.

5 But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.

1 Corinthians 15:1-4 says,

1 Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand;

2 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain.

3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;

4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:

Believe those words, meditate on them day and night and watch the power of God heal you, deliver you from every sickness and disease. Romans 3:4 says, God forbid: yea, let God be true, but every man a liar; as it is written, That thou mightest be justified in thy sayings, and mightest overcome when thou art judged.

The word of God is true.

Oh, and by the way, after that little visit to that nursing home, I left the girl scouts that week.

I also encourage you all to watch this video, it will feed your faith. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-4j2ipUA3wI&t=2957s

God bless,
