Emva kwezinsuku ezimbalwa, noma kunjalo, uyaphila kancane, ukhombise okuthile, kube khona ukuphendula ngaphakathi kuwena, bese ngalezo zibonakaliso ukwazi ukubona ukuthi imicabango engaphakathi kuwena ivela kuNkulunkulu noma kuSathane. Ezinye izinto zikwenza uphikisane ngokucace bha noNkulunkulu umvukele uNkulunkulu, noma zikuyekise ukwenza amazwi kaNkulunkulu, futhi lezi zinto zonke zivela kuSathane. Ezinye izinto azicaci bha, futhi awukwazi ukubona ukuthi ziyini ngaleso sikhathi; kamuva-ke, uma usubonile ukuzibonakalisa kwazo, ukwazi ukubona ukuthi zivela kuSathane futhi yiziphi eziqondiswe nguMoya oNgcwele. Uma usukhanyiseleke kakhulu ezintweni ezinjengalezi, ngeke udukiswe ezintweni ohlangabezana nazo. Kwesinye isikhathi, uma izimo zakho zingezinhle, unemicabango ekukhiphayo esimweni sokunganaki—okukhombisa ukuthi uma izimo zakho zingathandeki, eminye yemicabango yakho nayo ingaqhamuka kuMoya oNgcwele. Akuhlezi kunjalo uma unganaki, yonke imicabango yakho ithunyelwa nguSathane; uma lokho bekuyiqiniso, ungakwazi nini ukuphendukela esimweni esihle? Emva kokuba sesimweni sokunganaki isikhathi eside, uMoya oNgcwele ukunikeza ithuba lokwenziwa upheleliswe, uyakuthinta, akukhiphe esimweni sakho sokunganaki.
Ukwazi ukuthi uyini umsebenzi kaMoya oNgcwele, nokuthi uyini umsebenzi kaSathane, ungakwazi ukuqhathanisa lokhu kwesakho isimo ngesikhathi ubhekene nezimo zakho, futhi okuhlangenwe nakho kwakho, ngale ndlela kuzoba namaqiniso amaningi ahlobene nesimiso esisesimweni sakho. Uma usukuqonda lokhu, uzokwazi ukulawula isimo sakho njengoba sinjalo, futhi uzokwazi ukwahlukanisa abantu nezinto ezenzeka kuwena,[a] futhi ngeke kudingeke uchithe isikhathi esiningi uzuza umsebenzi kaMoya oNgcwele. Yiqiniso, ukuthi nje uma izisusa zilungile, futhi inqobo uma uzimisele ukufuna, kanye nokwenza. Ulimi olufana nalolu—ulimi oluhlobene nezimiso—kufanele lube kokuhlangenwe nakho kwakho. Ngaphandle kwalo, okuhlangenwe nakho kwakho kuzogcwala ukuthikanyezwa nguSathane, nolwazi olungubuwula.

Yize noma ungakholelwa kokunye ngaphandle kukaNkulunkulu, ingabe unabo ubudlelwane obuhle kanye noNkulunkulu? Abanye abantu bathi okubalulekile nje ukuba nobudlelwane obujwayelekile noNkulunkulu, futhi abazikhathazi ngobudlelwane babo nabanye. Kodwa bubonakala kanjani ubudlelwane obuhle noNkulunkulu? Ingabe abantu abanjengalaba abanalo ulwazi lwangempela? Kungani kuthiwa amandla okuzimisela kwakho ukuthanda uNkulunkulu, kanye nokuthi usuyilahle ngempela yini inyama, kuncike ekutheni unayo na imicabango yokubandlulula abazalwane bakho, kanye nasekutheni, uma kunjalo, ungakwazi ukubuyisela le micabango eceleni. Okusho ukuthi, uma ubudlelwane bakho nabazalwane bakho sebungobujwayelekile, izimo zakho ngaphambi kukaNkulunkulu zingezijwayelekile. Uma omunye wabazalwane bakho ebuthakathaka, ngeke umnyanye, umzonde, uhlekise ngaye, noma ukhombise ukungamgqizi qakala. Uma ukwazi ukuba usizo kuyena, uzoxhumana naye uthi, "Ngangiwumuntu ongenandaba nabanye abantu futhi ngibuthakathaka. Ngangingafuni ukuya emhlanganweni, kodwa kwenzeka okuthile ngakho uNkulunkulu wangikhanyisela ngaphakathi wangiqondisa; ngakhuzeka ngaphakathi, nganginamahloni kakhulu, ngaso sonke isikhathi ngangizisola kuNkulunkulu. Emva kwalokho, nganikela impilo yami ebandleni, ngenkathi ngixoxisana nabafowethu nodadewethu ngokwengeziwe, kungale nkathi ngazibona ngokwengeziwe ukuthi ngingeke ngiphile ngaphandle kukaNkulunkulu. Ngangithi uma nginabo ngingazizwa nginomzwangedwa; ngangithi uma ngizivalele egumbini ngedwa ngizizwe nginomzwangedwa ngingenabangani, ngangibona impilo yami iyinalutho, nemicabango yami yaphenduka ukufa. Manje njengoba senginabazalwane, uSathane akazange nhlobo awenze umsebenzi wakhe, futhi angizange ngizizwe ngingedwa. Ngathi uma ngibona ukuthi lunamandla kangakanani uthando lukaNkulunkulu nolwabazalwane bami, ngakhuthazeka, ngakho ngaso sonke isikhathi ngangihlezi nginabazalwane bami, kanti nesimo sami nokunganaki sanyamalala ngokwemvelo." Ekuzweni lokhu, babona ukuthi akunamsebenzi ukuthandaza emakhaya, selokhu babona ukuthi akukho thando phakathi kwabafowabo nodadewabo, ukuthi impilo yabo ayinalutho, ukuthi akunamuntu abangathembela kuyena, nokuthi akwenele ukuthandaza nje kuphela. Uma uphilisana nabo ngale ndlela, lapho-ke bazoba nendlela yokwenza izinto. Uma uzizwa sengathi awukwazi ukubahlinzeka, lapho-ke ungabavakashela. Lokhu akudingeki kwenziwe umholi webandla—kungumsebenzi nesibopho sawo wonke umzalwane ukwenza lokhu. Uma ubona umzalwane ongumfowenu noma udade esesimweni esingesihle, kufanele umhambele. Lokhu kungumsebenzi womunye ngamunye wenu.
