Tantanem antap long ol Wef

Long medel blong wari mo harem nogud, mi bin ridim bakegen stori blong ol pipol blong Jared taem oli krosem “bigfala dip solwota” (Ita 2:25). Mi save tingbaot wari blong olgeta taem oli go insaed long ol sip blong olgeta. Rod blong olgeta i bin had, be oli bin save se oli stap go stret long “wan graon we i gudfala tumas bitim evri narafala graon” (Ita 2:15).

Long rod blong olgeta, yumi ridim se:

“Lod god i bin mekem se i mas gat wan strong win i blu long fes blong ol wota, i go long promes graon; mo olsem ia nao ol wef blong solwota i bin pusum olgeta long fored blong win.

“Mo i bin hapen se oli bin draon plante taem long ol dip ples blong solwota, from ol bigfala hil blong ol wef we i bin brok long olgeta, mo tu ol bigfala mo nogud hariken we i bin hapen tru long strong paoa blong win.

“… taem we plante wota i bin raonem olgeta, oli bin prea long Lod, mo hem i bin karem olgeta bakegen i kam antap long ol wota.

“Mo i bin hapen se win i neva bin stop blong blu i go long promes graon taem we oli bin stap long wota; mo olsem ia nao win i bin pusum olgeta i go fored.” (Ita 6:5–8).

Ol ves ia i bin kam impoten long mi. Mi bin filim se mi bin stap long wan sip blong miwan, wetem ol win blong wari we i stap spolem mi mo ol wef blong harem nogud we i kam bigwan long mi mo kavremap mi dip insaed long harem nogud. Taem we ol samting ia i bin “raonem” mi mo bae mi krae long Lod, mo bae mi traem go tru antap be afta bae mi draon bakegen.

Mi ridim ves 8 bakegen: “win i neva bin stop blong blu i go long promes graon… mo olsem ia nao win i bin pusum olgeta i go fored” (oli ademap italik). Afta i tajem mi. Win ia nao we i bin mekem ol bigfala wef ia blong draonem ol sip ia i bin blesem tu ol pipol blong Jared long rod blong olgeta. Mi bin stap askem strong Papa long Heven blong stopem win mo ol wef ia, be sapos i no olgeta samting ia, bae mi no save kasem “promes graon” we Hem i bin stap lidim mi i go long hem.

Ol ves ia i bin jenisim lukluk blong mi abaot laef. Wari blong mi mo harem nogud blong mi i bin mekem mi dipen bigwan long Papa long Heven. Sapos i no win mo wef, be mi no save kam blong save God olsem we mi bin mekem—mo ating ol pipol blong Jared tu bae i neva save kasem promes graon.

Blong naoia, mo sam yia afta eksperiens ia, ol win blong mi blong wari i nomo blu mo ol wef blong mi blong harem nogud i bin stop blong draonem mi. Be sapos mo taem ol strong win ia i kambak, bae mi singaot long Lod mo stap talem tangkyu, wetem save ia se ol solwota we i kwaet i no karem ol sip i go long promes graon—be ol raf solwota yes.
