1. Ukukhuleka ngoMoya akukhona
Ukuze uqonde ukuthi ukuthandaza ngoMoya kuyini ngempela, kuyadingeka ukwazi umlingani wakho, okungukuthi, akukhona ukuthandaza ngoMoya, futhi lokhu okuphambene akukhona futhi akukho okungaphansi kokuthandaza usenyameni. Lapho abantu kufanele benze umzamo wokuba babe nekhono lokuthandaza, lokho basuke bekwenza besuka enyameni.
Okungukuthi, lapho umuntu enobunzima bangempela bokwenza umthandazo, lapho esala engenalutho angalusho, futhi kufanele enze umzamo wokuthola amazwi, uthandaza enyameni hhayi ngoMoya.
Kodwa lobu bunzima bunganqotshwa kanjani? Siyazi kakade ukuthi ukuthandaza enyameni yilapho ukuze kwenziwe umkhuleko kudingeka wonke amandla nomzamo womuntu ukunqoba ubunzima bomthandazo. Nokho, uma ushiywe ngaphandle kokuthola amagama aqondile okwenza umusho, ngokuqinisekile uzozama ukuwunqoba ngemvula yamagama, ngaphandle kokucabanga ngawo. Kodwa, uJesu UMathewu 6: 7 waxwayisa:

ULloyd-Jones, ukuze afundise indlela yokuthandaza, wayevame ukusebenzisa umehluko phakathi kokuthi kuyini ukuthandaza ngoMoya nalokho okungeyikho, phakathi kokuthandaza enyameni naphakathi kokuthandaza ngoMoya. Nokho, akazange ababeke emazingeni ahlukene okuhlangenwe nakho, wamane wanquma umehluko ophawulekayo phakathi kwalezi zenzo ezimbili. Yebo, kufanele wazi ukuthi kunamazinga ahlukene emizwa uma unesipiliyoni sokuthandaza ngoMoya.
Ngaso sonke isikhathi uma seyenziwa akuzwakali okufanayo, kunezikhathi lapho ungezwa khona imvuselelo, njengoba kunezikhathi lapho ungakwazi khona.

Ukuncenga noma ukukhalela izithembiso ngesibindi
Esinye sezenzo uMoya asiholela kuzo ukukhothama phambi kobukhona bukaNkulunkulu, nakho konke njengabantwana abathembekile nabathobekile esiyibo futhi njengesibonakaliso sokwesaba uNkulunkulu. Futhi cha, khumbula ukuthi ngeke ukhothame, ngeke sikhothamele isidalwa esingaziwa, cha, kodwa kumuntu osijwayele ngokuphelele.
Esenzweni sizozwa ukusondelana okuphelele ngesilinganiso esilinganayo njengokumangala. Futhi, ngaphezu kwakho konke, uMoya uyosenza senze ngesibindi, ngesibindi, siyokhuleka ukunxusa ngaphandle kokwesaba, isibindi ngalezo zithembiso ezenziwa nguNkulunkulu, nakho konke phambi kwakhe, phambi kwakhe.
Kodwa-ke, lesi sicelo, lesi sibindi sizohluka, siwuphawu lwesibindi sokuzithoba ngokuphelele, ngeke kube khona nokuncane ukugabadela kuso. Akufanele ufune, akufanele ufune, mane nje uvumele izicelo zakho zigeleze futhi waziswe eNkosini, zivumele ziphume enhliziyweni yakho ziholwa nguMoya. Ngaleyo ndlela uNkulunkulu uyokwazi ukukulalela futhi akuqonde.
Hlala ukhumbula ukuthi ngeke sifune lutho nhlobo kuNkulunkulu, kukhona amakholwa alokotha akwenze lokho, kanti cha, akulungile.

ningawucimi uMoya
Ukuthandaza kubaluleke kakhulu, kuyisenzo somoya esiyingqayizivele okufanele sithathwe ngesineke, okufanele senziwe ngokusuka enhliziyweni, ngaphandle kokuphoqwa. Uma sikhuluma ngokungawucimi uMoya, sisho ukungawushayi indiva noma ukumisa izifiso ezinamandla zokuthandaza ngezinye izikhathi ezifika kithi. Okungukuthi, uma nganoma isiphi isikhathi empilweni yakho, uzwa isifiso esijulile sokuthandazela isimo noma othile, ungakugodli, kwenze.
Ayikho indlela esheshayo yokwenza lokhu kunokucindezela nokucisha uMoya, futhi uma lokhu kwenzeka, kuheha izinto ezingajabulisi kangako. Kufanele ngaso sonke isikhathi uwugcine uphila, futhi ngaso sonke isikhathi lapho ufuna ukuphuma, kucabangele, khuleka, khuleka ngenhliziyo yakho yonke, uvumele umthandazo ugeleze ngokwemvelo, futhi ucele futhi uncenge kukho konke okufunayo, nangayo yonke into oyiqondisayo kaMoya. wena.
Kunokuhlangenwe nakho esingathanda ukukusho kulokhu okuthunyelwe, isipiliyoni somuntu siqu, esigcizelela ukubaluleka kokugcina uMoya phezu, ukubaluleka kokungalokothi ucindezele isifiso sokuthandaza:
“Ngake ngihamba ngemoto ngibuya emsebenzini. Ngasebenza ishifu yasebusuku phakathi nezinsuku zami ze-Ph.D. futhi angizange ngibuthole ubuthongo obanele. Ngangishayela ngiya ekhaya ekuseni kakhulu, ngabo-4:30, futhi ngazumeka ngisesondoni. Ngizame konke ukuthi ngihlale ngiphapheme. Ngavula umsakazo ngazama ukucula. Ngaze ngazishaya ngempama. Okulandelayo engangikwazi, ngaphaphama endleleni yami yokungena. Wathuka kakhulu. Ngangingazi ukuthi ngifike kanjani lapho.
Ngangena endlini manje sengiphapheme ngokuphelele, futhi lapho ngingena ekamelweni lethu ngabona into engavamile: umkami naye wayesephapheme ngokuphelele. Ngokuvamile wayezobe elele, kodwa kunalokho, wayehlezi embhedeni engilindile.
Wathi, "Sawubona, sthandwa, belunjani uhambo lwakho lokuya ekhaya?"
Ngathi, “Kuyahlekisa ukuthi ubuza. Nganginenkinga ngempela yokungalali endleleni eya ekhaya. Eqinisweni angazi ukuthi ngifike kanjani lapha."
Wathi, "Yebo, ngiqagele..."
"Kulungile," ngathi, "ngicela uqhubeke!"
“Hhayi-ke,” esho, “ngavuka ngo-4:30 kungazelelwe, futhi ngezwa lesi sidingo esinamandla sokuthandaza. Bengicabanga ukuthi kufanele ukuthi uyazabalaza emgwaqeni njengoba lesi yisikhathi ojwayele ukufika ngaso ekhaya. Ngakho, ngikukhulekele.”
Ngikholwa ukuthi ngisaphila, futhi ngibhala la mazwi, ngoba umkami akazange awucime uMoya ngaleso sikhathi. Walalela ukugqugquzelwa nguMoya ukuba athandaze."
Lokhu okuhlangenwe nakho kwalowo muntu, kunengqondo kakhulu ukugcina uMoya uqhubeka, kuyisikhumbuzo esicacile sokuthi umfutho wokuthandaza akufanele neze ucindezelwe.
Futhi ngalokhu sesifinyelele esiphethweni se-athikili esethemba ukuthi ibe ngokuthanda kwakho nokuqonda kwakho, bese sishiya ividiyo ezohambisana nolwazi oluboniswe lapha:
