The Church of Almighty God | Welcome the Return of the Lord Jesus | Praise and Worship "God Has Brought His Glory to the East"

God gave His glory to Israel then moved it away from there,

bringing the Israelites and bringing all men to the East.

God has led them all to the “light”

so that they may be reunited and associate with light,

no longer have to search, search for the light.

God will let all who are in search see the light again

and the glory He had in Israel,

see God has come down upon a white cloud among men,

see the clouds of white, see the clusters of fruit,

see Jehovah God of Israel, God of Israel,

see the “Master” of the Jews,

see the longed-for Messiah,

and the full appearance of Him persecuted by kings throughout the ages.

God will do the work of the universe and perform great works,

showing all His glory and all His deeds

to man in the last days.

God will show His full countenance of glory to those who have awaited Him for many years,

to those who have longed for Him to come upon a white cloud,

to Israel that has longed for Him to appear once more,

to all mankind who persecute God.

So all will know God has long ago taken away His glory

and brought it to the East. It’s not in Judea,

for the last days have come!

Liu Zhizhong is a pastor at a local house church in China. He's been a believer for over 30 years, and has constantly maintained that "The Holy Bible is inspired by God," "The Holy Bible represents God, believing in God is believing in the Bible, believing in the Bible is believing in God." In his heart, the Bible is paramount. Due to his adoration for and blind faith in the Bible, he has never studied or looked to Almighty God's work of the last days. Until one day, when he blocked believers from reading the words of Almighty God online, he had a chance encounter with the preachers from the Church of Almighty God. After undergoing intense debates about the truth, was he finally able to see the relationship between the Holy Bible and God clearly? Was he able to move away from the Bible to understand that Christ is the truth, the way, and the life? Will he be raptured before God?

The Church of Almighty God | Praise Songs | Gospel Music "Chinese Choir 2nd Performance"

Almighty God, brimming with glory, has quietly arrived among a group of people He will save, and personally carries out the work of the Age of Kingdom. In order to save man from the domain of Satan completely, God has expressed millions of words to supply the life of man, judge man’s rebellion and chastise man’s unrighteousness, and show man ways of practice. God’s love for man is not possessed by any created being. Gradually, under the guidance of God’s word, all men know His identity and status, completely reject Satan and submit before God. From this we can see that God has fully defeated Satan, and God’s work is about to be concluded with great glory.

1. The Holy Spiritual Body of Almighty God Has Appeared
The Holy Spiritual Body of Almighty God Has Appeared
Almighty God! He has publicly revealed, publicly revealed His glorious body.
The holy spiritual body has appeared. He is completely God Himself!
The world and the flesh have all changed.
The transfigured One on the mountain is God’s person.
He has a golden crown on His head, is clothed with a white garment,
and is girt about the breasts with a golden girdle, with a golden girdle.
All things in the world are His footstool.
His eyes are as a flame of fire;
in His mouth is a sharp two edged sword,
and in His right hand He holds seven stars.
The path of the kingdom is bright and even more infinite.
The glory rises and shines;
mountains are rejoicing and waters are laughing.
The sun, the moon, and stars,
the sun, the moon, and stars all revolve and line up,
welcoming the only true God
who has accomplished the six-thousand-year management plan
to return triumphant!
All are dancing and leaping for joy! Shout for joy!
Almighty God, Almighty God has been seated on the glorious throne! Sing!
The banner of triumph of the Almighty
has risen high on the whole majestic and magnificent Mount Zion!
All the nations are shouting for joy. All peoples are singing, are singing.
Mount Zion is rejoicing. God’s glory has appeared!
Little did I dream of meeting God. Today I have seen Him.
I’m face to face with Him every day, speaking to Him and communing with Him.
He supplies bountifully the things for eating and drinking.
His glory is shining upon my life, speech, behavior, mind, and thought.
He guides me at every step.
If my heart is disobedient, the judgment comes upon me at once, at once.
Eating, staying, and living with God;
being, walking, enjoying, receiving glory, and receiving blessings with Him;
reigning with Him; being in the kingdom with Him.
How enjoyable! How sweet!
Being face to face every day, speaking every day,
and conversing every moment;
having new enlightenment every day,
and having new seeing, new seeing every day.
Our spiritual eyes opened, we have seen everything,
and the mysteries in the spirit have been revealed to us.
The holy life is really free. Run quickly and don’t stop.
Keep on going forward, going forward. A more wonderful life is ahead.
When having tasted the sweetness, don’t be content; run all the way into God,
who is all-inclusive and so bountiful, and has whatever we lack.
Cooperate actively and initiatively;
enter into Him and everything will be changed.
from “The Fifteenth Utterance” in The Word Appears in the Flesh

2. God’s Work Cannot Be Done by Anyone in His Stead
God’s own work has to be done by God Himself.
He is the One who starts the work and who ends the work.
He is the One who plans the work and who manages the work,
and even more the One who accomplishes the work,
even more the One who accomplishes the work.
Just as the Bible says,
“God is the Beginning and the End. He is the One who sows and who reaps.”
All these works that have to do with His management
have to be done by Himself, by Himself.
“God is the Beginning and the End.
He is the One who sows and who reaps, the One who reaps.”
All these works that have to do with His management
have to be done by Himself.
God is the Ruler of the six-thousand-year management plan.
No man can do His work in His stead, and no man can end His work,
because He controls everything, because He controls everything.
Since He created the world, He will lead the entire world to live in His light,
and He will surely end the entire age to accomplish all His plans!
Since He created the world, He will lead the entire world to live in His light,
and He will surely end the entire age to accomplish all His plans,
accomplish all His plans!

3. God Has Brought His Glory to the East
God gave His glory to Israel then moved it away from there,
bringing the Israelites to the East, and bringing all men to the East.
God has led them all to the “light”
so that they may be reunited and have association with it,
and no longer have to search for it, no longer have to search for it.
God will let all who are in search see the light again
and see the glory He had in Israel;
God will let them see that He has come down upon a white cloud among men,
and see the countless clouds of white and clusters of fruit,
and moreover, Jehovah God of Israel.
God will let them see the “Master” of the Jews,
the longed-for Messiah,
and the full appearance of Him
who has been persecuted by kings throughout the ages.
God will do the work of the entire universe and perform great works,
revealing all His glory and all His deeds to man in the last days.
God shall show His full countenance of glory
to those who have awaited Him for many years,
to those who have longed for Him to come upon a white cloud,
to Israel that has longed for Him to once again appear,
and to all mankind who persecute Him,
so that all will know that
God has long ago taken away His glory and brought it to the East.
It is not in Judea, for the last days have already come!

4. The Mark of God’s Triumph
All mankind will have recovered their original likeness
and can perform their own duty, keep their own place,
and obey God’s every arrangement.
Thus, God will have gained a group of men on earth who worship Him
and will have established a kingdom on earth that worships Him,
will have established a kingdom on earth that worships Him.
He will triumph forever, triumph forever on earth,
and those who are hostile to Him will perish forever.
Then He will have recovered His original intention in creating man,
recovered His intention in creating all things, His intention in creating all things,
and recovered His authority on earth, His authority among all things,
and His authority among His enemies.
This will be a mark that He has completely triumphed, triumphed.
From then on, mankind will enter into rest
and into the human life on the right track, on the right track.
The filthiness and disobedience on earth will disappear,
and the wailing on earth will disappear, disappear.
All those who are hostile to God on earth will exist no more.
Only God and those who have been saved by Him will remain,
and only all things, all things, all things created by Him
will remain, remain, remain.
from “God and Man Will Enter Into Rest Together” in The Word Appears in the Flesh

5. God Quietly Arrives Among Men
God looks upon all lands, and commands all things,
and beholds all the words and deeds of man.
His management is conducted in steps and according to His plan.
It proceeds silently, without dramatic effect,
yet His footsteps advance ever closer, ever closer to mankind,
and His judgment seat is deployed in the universe at the speed of lightning,
immediately followed by the descent of His throne among us.
What a majestic scene that is, what a stately and solemn tableau.
Like a dove, and like a roaring lion, the Spirit arrives among us all.
He is wise, He is righteous and majestic,
He quietly arrives among us, arrives among us, arrives among us
possessed of authority and filled with love and compassion.
from “Beholding the Appearance of God in His Judgment and Chastisement” in The Word Appears in the Flesh

6. God’s Love Is Not Possessed by Any Created Being
God’s words carry life power, and show us the way we should walk,
and allow us to understand what the truth is.
We start to be drawn to His words,
we begin to focus on the tone and manner of His speaking,
and subconsciously begin to take an interest in
the heart’s voice of this unremarkable person.
God makes painstaking efforts for us, loses sleep and appetite for us,
weeps for us, sighs for us, groans in sickness for us,
suffers humiliation for the sake of our destination and salvation,
and His heart bleeds and sheds tears for our numbness and rebelliousness.
Such being and possessions of His are beyond an ordinary person,
and cannot be possessed or attained by any of the corrupted.
He has tolerance and patience
possessed by no, possessed by no ordinary person,
and His love is not possessed by any created being.

Chapter 1 You Must Know That Only Almighty God Is the One True God Who Created the Heavens and the Earth and Everything in Them

2. Almighty God Is the Returned Jesus.

Relevant Words of God:

God is incarnated in the Chinese mainland, what the compatriots in Hong Kong and Taiwan call the inland. When God came from above to the earth, no one in heaven and earth knew about it, for this is the true meaning of God returning in a concealed fashion. He has been in the flesh working and living for a long time, yet no one has known about it. Even to this day, no one recognizes it. Perhaps this will remain an eternal riddle. God’s coming into flesh this time is not something anyone is able to be aware of. No matter how large-scale and powerful the Spirit’s work, God always stays composed, never giving Himself away. One can say that it is as if this stage of His work is taking place in the heavenly realm. Even though it is perfectly obvious to everyone, no one recognizes it. When God finishes this stage of His work, everyone will awake from their long dream and reverse their past attitude.[a] I remember God once saying, “Coming into flesh this time is like falling into the tiger’s den.” What this means is that because this round of God’s work has God coming into flesh and being born in the dwelling place of the great red dragon, His coming to earth this time is accompanied even more so with extreme dangers. What He faces are knives and guns and clubs; what He faces is temptation; what He faces are crowds wearing murderous looks. He risks being killed at any moment. God did come with wrath. However, He came in order to do the work of perfection, meaning to do the second part of His work that continues after redemption work. For the sake of this stage of His work, God has devoted utmost thought and care and is using every conceivable means to avoid the assaults of temptation, concealing Himself humbly and never flaunting His identity. In rescuing man off the cross, Jesus was only completing redemption work; He was not doing perfection work. Thus only half of God’s work was being done, and finishing the redemption work was only half of His whole plan. As the new age was about to begin and the old one about to recede, God the Father began to deliberate the second part of His work and started preparing for it. In the past, this incarnation in the last days may not have been prophesied, and therefore that laid a foundation for the increased secrecy surrounding God’s coming into flesh this time. At the break of dawn, unbeknownst to any, God came to earth and began His life in the flesh. People were unaware of this moment. Maybe they were all fast asleep, maybe many who were watchfully awake were waiting, and maybe many were praying silently to God in heaven. Yet among all these many people, not one knew that God had already arrived on earth. God worked like this so as to more smoothly carry out His work and achieve better results, and it was also to avoid more temptations. As man’s spring slumber breaks, God’s work will have long been finished and He shall depart, bringing to a close His life of roaming and sojourning on earth. Because God’s work requires God to act and speak personally, and because there is no way for man to help, God has endured extreme pain to come to earth to do the work Himself. Man is unable to stand in for God’s work. Therefore God risked dangers several thousand times greater than those during the Age of Grace to come down to where the great red dragon dwells to do His own work, to put all His thinking and care into redeeming this group of impoverished people, redeeming this group of people mired in a heap of manure. Even though no one knows of God’s existence, God is not troubled because it greatly benefits God’s work. Everyone is atrociously evil, so how can anyone tolerate God’s existence? That is why on earth God is always silent. No matter how excessively cruel man is, God does not take any of it to heart, but just keeps doing the work He needs to do so as to fulfill the greater commission that the heavenly Father gave Him. Who among you has recognized God’s loveliness? Who shows more consideration for God the Father’s burden than His Son does? Who is able to understand the will of God the Father? God the Father’s Spirit in heaven is often troubled, and His Son on earth prays frequently over God the Father’s will, worrying His heart to pieces. Is there anyone who knows of God the Father’s love for His Son? Is there anyone who knows how the beloved Son misses God the Father? Torn between heaven and earth, the two are constantly gazing after each other from afar, side by side in Spirit. O mankind! When will you be considerate of God’s heart? When will you understand God’s intention? Father and Son have always depended on each other. Why then should They be separated, one in heaven above and one on earth below? The Father loves His Son as the Son loves His Father. Why then should He have to wait with such longing and long with such anxiety? Although They have not been separated for long, does anyone know that the Father has already been anxiously yearning for so many days and nights and has long been looking forward to His beloved Son’s quick return? He observes, He sits in silence, He waits. It is all for His beloved Son’s quick return. When will He again be with the Son who is wandering on earth? Even though once together, They will be together for eternity, how can He endure the thousands of days and nights of separation, one in heaven above and one on earth below? Tens of years on earth are like thousands of years in heaven. How could God the Father not worry? When God comes to earth, He experiences the many vicissitudes of the human world just as man does. God Himself is innocent, so why let God suffer the same pain as man? No wonder God the Father longs so urgently for His Son; who can understand God’s heart? God gives man too much; how can man adequately repay God’s heart? Yet man gives God too little; how could God not therefore be worried?

Scarcely one among men understands God’s urgent heart because people’s caliber is too low and their spiritual sensitivity quite dull, and because they all neither notice nor heed what God is doing. So God keeps worrying about man, as if man’s beastly nature could break out at any moment. This further shows that God’s coming to earth is accompanied by great temptations. But for the sake of completing a group of people, God, laden with glory, told man of His every intention, hiding nothing. He has firmly resolved to complete this group of people. Therefore, come hardship or temptation, He looks away and ignores it all. He only quietly does His own work, firmly believing that one day when God has gained glory, man will know God, and believing that when man has been completed by God, he will fully understand God’s heart. Right now there may be people tempting God or misunderstanding God or blaming God; God takes none of that to heart. When God descends into glory, people will all understand that everything God does is for the well-being of mankind, and people will all understand that everything God does is so that mankind can better survive. God’s coming is accompanied by temptations, and God also comes with majesty and wrath. By the time God leaves man, He will have already gained glory, and He will leave fully laden with glory and with the joy of return. The God working on earth does not take things to heart no matter how people reject Him. He is just doing His work. God’s creation of the world goes back thousands of years, He has come to earth to do an immeasurable amount of work, and He has fully experienced the human world’s rejection and slander. No one welcomes God’s arrival; everyone merely regards Him with a cold eye. In the course of these several thousand years’ worth of hardships, man’s conduct has long ago shattered God’s heart. He no longer pays attention to people’s rebellion, but is instead making a separate plan to transform and cleanse man. The derision, the slander, the persecution, the tribulation, the suffering of crucifixion, the exclusion by man, and so on that God has experienced in the flesh—God has tasted enough of these. God in the flesh has thoroughly suffered the miseries of the human world. The Spirit of God the Father in heaven long ago found such sights unbearable and threw His head back and shut His eyes, waiting for His beloved Son to return. All He wishes for is that people all listen and obey, are able to feel great shame before His flesh, and not rebel against Him. All He wishes for is that people all believe that God exists. He long ago stopped making greater demands of man because God has paid too high a price, yet man is resting easy,[b] not at all taking God’s work to heart.

from “Work and Entry (4)” in The Word Appears in the Flesh

The first time that God became flesh was through conception by the Holy Spirit, and it was related to the work He intended to do. Jesus’ name marked the start of the Age of Grace. When Jesus began to perform His ministry, the Holy Spirit began to testify to the name of Jesus, and the name of Jehovah was no longer spoken of, and instead the Holy Spirit began the new work principally under the name of Jesus. The testimony of those who believed in Him was borne for Jesus Christ, and the work they did was also for Jesus Christ. The conclusion of the Old Testament Age of Law meant that the work principally conducted under the name of Jehovah had come to an end. After this, the name of God was no longer Jehovah; instead He was called Jesus, and from here on the Holy Spirit began the work principally under the name of Jesus. So today, when you still eat and drink the words of Jehovah, and still apply the work of the Age of Law, are you not following regulation? Are you not stuck in the past? Today, you know that the last days have arrived. When Jesus comes, will He still be called Jesus? Jehovah told the people of Israel that a Messiah would come, yet when He arrived, He was not called Messiah but Jesus. Jesus said that He would come again, and that He would arrive as He had departed. These were the words of Jesus, but did you witness how Jesus departed? Jesus left on a white cloud, but would He really personally return among man on a white cloud? If that were so, would He not still be called Jesus? When Jesus comes again, the age will have already changed, so could He still be called Jesus? Is God only known by the name of Jesus? Could He not be called by a new name in a new age? Can the image of one person and one particular name represent God in His entirety? In each age, God does new work and is called by a new name; how could He do the same work in different ages? How could He cling to the old? The name of Jesus was taken for the work of redemption, so would He still be called by the same name when He returns in the last days? Would He still do the work of redemption? Why is it that Jehovah and Jesus are one, yet They are called by different names in different ages? Is it not because Their work in these ages is different? Could a single name represent God in His entirety? In this way, God must be called by a different name in a different age, must use the name to change the age and represent the age, for no one name can fully represent God Himself. And each name can only represent God’s disposition during a certain age and needs only to represent His work. Therefore, God can choose whatever name befits His disposition to represent the entire age. Regardless of whether it is the age of Jehovah, or the age of Jesus, each age is represented by a name. After the Age of Grace, the final age has arrived and Jesus has already come. How could He still be called Jesus? How could He still assume the form of Jesus among man? Have you forgotten that Jesus was just the image of a Nazarene? Have you forgotten that Jesus was only the Redeemer of mankind? How could He take on the work of conquering and perfecting man in the last days? Jesus left on a white cloud, this is fact, but how could He return on a white cloud among man and still be called Jesus? If He really did arrive on a cloud, wouldn’t He be recognized by man? Wouldn’t people all over the world recognize Him? In that case, wouldn’t Jesus alone be God? In that case, the image of God would be the appearance of a Jew, and would be the same forever. Jesus said that He would arrive as He had departed, but do you know the true meaning of His words? Could He really have told you? You only know He will arrive as He left on a cloud, but do you know exactly how God Himself does His work? If you were truly able to see, then how are the words of Jesus to be explained? He said, “When the Son of man comes in the last days, He Himself will not know, the angels will not know, the messengers in heaven will not know, and all of the people will not know. Only the Father will know, that is, only the Spirit shall know.” If you are capable of knowing and seeing, then are these not empty words? Even the Son of man Himself does not know, yet you are able to see and know? If you have seen with your own eyes, were those words not said in vain? And what did Jesus say at the time? “But of that day and hour knows no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only. But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. … Therefore be you also ready: for in such an hour as you think not the Son of man comes.” When that day comes, the Son of man Himself will not know it. The Son of man refers to the incarnate flesh of God, who shall be a normal and ordinary person. Even He Himself does not know, so how could you know? Jesus said that He would arrive as He had departed. When He arrives, even He Himself does not know, so could He inform you in advance? Are you able to see His arrival? Is that not a joke? Each time God arrives on earth, He shall change His name, His gender, His image, and His work; He does not repeat His work, and He is always new and never old. When He came before, He was called Jesus; could He still be called Jesus when He comes again this time? When He came before, He was male; could He be male again this time? His work when He came during the Age of Grace was to be nailed to the cross; when He comes again will He still redeem mankind from sin? Will He still be nailed to a cross? Would that not be a repetition of His work? Did you not know that God is always new and never old? There are those who say that God is immutable. That is correct, but it refers to the immutability of God’s disposition and substance. Changes in His name and work do not prove that His substance has altered; in other words, God will always be God, and this will never change. If you say that the work of God always stays the same, then would He be able to finish His six-thousand-year management plan? You merely know that God is forever unchanging, but do you know that God is always new and never old? If the work of God never changed, then could He have brought mankind to today? If God is immutable, then why is it that He has already done the work of two ages? His work is always progressing forward, and so His disposition is gradually revealed to man, and what is revealed is His inherent disposition. In the beginning, God’s disposition was hidden from man, He never openly revealed His disposition to man, and man had no knowledge of Him, so He used His work to gradually reveal His disposition to man, but this does not mean that His disposition changes in each age. It is not the case that God’s disposition is constantly changing because His will is always changing. Rather, because the work of God is carried out in different ages, His inherent disposition in its entirety is gradually revealed to man, so that man is able to know Him. But this is by no means proof that God originally has no particular disposition and His disposition has gradually changed with the passing of the ages—such belief is nonsense. God reveals to man His inherent, particular disposition, what He is, according to the passing of the ages. The work of a single age cannot express the entire disposition of God. And so, the words “God is always new and never old” are in reference to His work, and the words “God is immutable” are in regard to what God inherently has and is. Regardless, you cannot define the six-thousand-year work in one point, or portray it with mere static words. Such is the stupidity of man. God is not as simple as man imagines, and His work will not stop in one age. Jehovah, for example, will not always stand for the name of God; God also does His work under the name of Jesus, which is a symbol of how God’s work is always progressing forward.

God will always be God, and will never become Satan; Satan will always be Satan, and will never become God. God’s wisdom, God’s wondrousness, God’s righteousness, and God’s majesty shall never change. His substance and what He has and is shall never change. His work, however, is always progressing forward, always going deeper, for God is always new and never old. In every age God assumes a new name, in every age He does new work, and in every age He allows the creatures to see His new will and His new disposition. If people do not see the expression of God’s new disposition in the new age, would they not forever nail Him to the cross? And by doing so, would they not define God? If God was only incarnated as a male, people would define Him as male, as the God of men, and would never believe Him to be the God of women. Then, men would believe that God is of the same gender as men, that God is the head of men—and what of women? This is unfair; is it not preferential treatment? If this were the case, then all those whom God saved would be men like Him, and there would be no salvation for women. When God created mankind, He created Adam and He created Eve. He did not create only Adam, but made both male and female in His image. God is not only the God of men, He is also the God of women. God has new work to do during the last days. He shall reveal more of His disposition, and it shall not be the compassion and love of the time of Jesus. Since He has new work, this new work shall be accompanied by new disposition. So if this work is done by the Spirit—if God does not become flesh, and instead the Spirit speaks directly through thunder, so that man has no contact with Him, would man know His disposition? If only the Spirit does the work, then man would have no way of knowing His disposition. People can only behold God’s disposition with their own eyes when He becomes flesh, and reveals His words in the flesh, and expresses His entire disposition through the flesh. God truly lives among man. He is tangible; man can truly engage with His disposition and what He has and is; only in this way can man truly know Him. At the same time, God has also completed the work of God being the God of both men and women, and has achieved the entirety of His work in the flesh. God does not duplicate His work in each new age. Since the last days have arrived, He will do the work of the last days, and reveal His entire disposition in the last days. The last days are a separate age, one in which Jesus said you must suffer disaster, and be subjected to earthquakes, famines, and plagues, which will show that this is a new age, and is no longer the old Age of Grace. If, as people say, God is forever unchanging, His disposition is always compassionate and loving, and He loves man as Himself, and He offers every man salvation and never hates man, then would He ever be able to complete His work? When Jesus came, He was nailed to the cross, and He sacrificed Himself for all sinners by offering Himself upon the altar. He had already completed the work of redemption and already brought the Age of Grace to an end, so what would be the point of repeating the work of that age in the last days? Wouldn’t doing the same thing be a denial of the work of Jesus? If God does not do the work of crucifixion when He comes in this stage, but He remains loving and compassionate, then would He be able to bring the age to an end? Could a loving and compassionate God conclude the age? In His final work of concluding the age, God’s disposition is one of chastisement and judgment, which reveals all that is unrighteous, and publicly judges all peoples, and perfects those who truly love Him. Only a disposition such as this can bring the age to an end. The last days have already arrived. All things will be classed according to kind, and will be divided into different categories based on their nature. This is the time in which God reveals the end and the destination of man. If man does not undergo chastisement and judgment, then there will be no way of revealing the disobedience and unrighteousness of man. Only through chastisement and judgment can the end of all things be revealed. Man only shows his true colors when he is chastised and judged. Evil shall return to evil, good shall return to good, and man shall be classified according to kind. Through chastisement and judgment, the end of all things shall be revealed, so that the evil shall be punished and the good shall be rewarded, and all people shall become subject under the dominion of God. All the work requires righteous chastisement and judgment to be achieved. Because man’s corruption has reached its peak and his disobedience has been too serious, only God’s righteous disposition, which is principally one of chastisement and judgment, and is revealed during the last days, can fully transform and complete man. Only this disposition can expose evil and thus severely punish all the unrighteous. Therefore, a disposition such as this possesses the significance of the age, and the revelation and exhibition of His disposition is for the sake of the work of each new age. God does not reveal His disposition arbitrarily and without significance. If, when the end of man is revealed during the last days, God still bestows upon man inexhaustible compassion and love, if He is still loving toward man, and He does not subject man to righteous judgment, but shows him tolerance, patience, and forgiveness, if He still pardons man no matter what serious sins he commits, without any righteous judgment, then would there ever be an end to all of God’s management? When would a disposition such as this be able to lead mankind into the right destination? Take, for example, a judge who is always loving, kindhearted and gentle. He loves people irrespective of the sins they have committed, and he is loving and tolerant of people whoever they are. Then when will he be able to reach a just verdict? During the last days, only righteous judgment can classify man and bring man into a new realm. In this way, the entire age is brought to an end through God’s righteous disposition of judgment and chastisement.

from “The Vision of God’s Work (3)” in The Word Appears in the Flesh

In each age and each stage of work, My name is not baseless, but holds representative significance: Each name represents one age. “Jehovah” represents the Age of Law, and is the honorific for the God worshiped by the people of Israel. “Jesus” represents the Age of Grace, and is the name of the God of all those who were redeemed during the Age of Grace. If man still longs for the arrival of Jesus the Savior during the last days, and still expects Him to arrive in the image He bore in Judea, then the entire six-thousand-year management plan would stop in the Age of Redemption, and would be incapable of progressing any further. The last days, furthermore, would never arrive, and the age would never be brought to an end. That is because Jesus the Savior is only for the redemption and salvation of mankind. I took the name of Jesus for the sake of all the sinners in the Age of Grace, and it is not the name by which I shall bring the whole of mankind to an end. Although Jehovah, Jesus, and the Messiah all represent My Spirit, these names only denote the different ages in My management plan, and do not represent Me in My entirety. The names by which people on earth call Me cannot articulate My entire disposition and all that I am. They are merely different names by which I am called during different ages. And so, when the final age—the age of the last days—arrives, My name shall change again. I shall not be called Jehovah, or Jesus, much less the Messiah, but shall be called the powerful Almighty God Himself, and under this name I shall bring the entire age to an end. I was once known as Jehovah. I was also called the Messiah, and people once called Me Jesus the Savior because they loved and respected Me. But today I am not the Jehovah or Jesus that people knew in times past—I am the God who has returned in the last days, the God who shall bring the age to an end. I am the God Himself that rises up at the ends of the earth, replete with My entire disposition, and full of authority, honor and glory. People have never engaged with Me, have never known Me, and have always been ignorant of My disposition. From the creation of the world until today, not one person has seen Me. This is the God who appears to man during the last days but is hidden among man. He resides among man, true and real, like the burning sun and the flaming fire, filled with power and brimming with authority. There is not a single person or thing that shall not be judged by My words, and not a single person or thing that shall not be purified through the burning of fire. Eventually, all nations shall be blessed because of My words, and also smashed to pieces because of My words. In this way, all people during the last days shall see that I am the Savior returned, I am the Almighty God that conquers all of mankind, and I was once the sin offering for man, but in the last days I also become the flames of the sun that burn all things, as well as the sun of righteousness that reveals all things. Such is My work of the last days. I took this name and am possessed of this disposition so that all people may see that I am a righteous God, and am the burning sun, and the flaming fire. It is so that all may worship Me, the only true God, and so that they may see My true face: I am not only the God of the Israelites, and am not just the Redeemer—I am the God of all creatures throughout heavens and earth and seas.

from “The Savior Has Already Returned Upon a ‘White Cloud’” in The Word Appears in the Flesh

The work done at present has pushed forward the work of the Age of Grace; that is, the work in the entire six-thousand-year management plan has moved forward. Though the Age of Grace has ended, the work of God has progressed further. Why do I say time and again that this stage of work builds upon the Age of Grace and the Age of Law? This means that the work of this day is a continuation of the work done in the Age of Grace and an uplifting of that done in the Age of Law. The three stages are closely interconnected and linked one to the next. Why do I also say that this stage of work builds on that done by Jesus? If this stage did not build on the work done by Jesus, then in this stage the crucifixion, the work of redemption done previously, would still need to be carried out. This would be meaningless. Therefore, it is not that the work has completely finished, but that the age has moved forward, and the work has become even higher than before. It could be said that this stage of work is built on the foundation of the Age of Law and the rock of the work of Jesus. The work is built stage by stage, and this stage is not a new beginning. Only the combination of the three stages of work can be deemed the six-thousand-year management plan. This stage is done on the foundation of the work of the Age of Grace. If these two stages of work are unrelated, why is there no crucifixion in this stage? Why do I not bear the sins of man? I do not come through the conception by the Holy Spirit nor will I be crucified to bear the sins of man. Rather, I am here to directly chastise man. If I did not chastise man following the crucifixion, and now I do not come through the conception by the Holy Spirit, then I would not be qualified to chastise man. It is precisely because I am one with Jesus that I come directly to chastise and judge man. This stage of work builds entirely on the previous stage. This is why only such work can bring man to salvation stage by stage. Jesus and I come from the same Spirit. Though Our fleshes have no relationship, Our Spirits are one; though what We do and the work We bear are not the same, We are alike in essence; Our fleshes take different forms, and this is because of the change in era and the need of Our work; Our ministries are not alike, so the work We bring forth and the disposition We reveal to man are also different. That is why what man sees and receives this day is unlike that of the past; this is so because of the change in era. Though the gender and form of Their fleshes are different, and though They were not born of the same family, much less in the same time period, Their Spirits are one. Though Their fleshes share no blood or physical relationship in any way, this does not deny that They are the incarnate fleshes of God in two different time periods. It is an undeniable truth that They are the incarnate fleshes of God, though They do not share the same bloodline or a common human language (one was a male who spoke the language of the Jews and the other is a female who speaks only Chinese). It is for these reasons that They do the work They ought in different countries, and in different time periods as well. Despite the fact that They are the same Spirit, possessed of the same essence, there are no absolute similarities at all between the outward shells of Their fleshes. They merely share the same humanity, but the appearance and birth of Their fleshes are not alike. These have no impact on Their respective work or the knowledge that man has of Them, for, after all, They are the same Spirit and none can separate Them. Though They are not related by blood, Their entire beings are directed by Their Spirits, so that They undertake different work in different time periods, with Their fleshes not sharing a bloodline. Similarly, the Spirit of Jehovah is not the father of the Spirit of Jesus, much as the Spirit of Jesus is not the son of the Spirit of Jehovah. They are the same Spirit. Just like the incarnate God of this day and Jesus. Though They are not related by blood, They are one; this is because Their Spirits are one.

from “The Two Incarnations Complete the Significance of the Incarnation” in The Word Appears in the Flesh

Though the work of the two incarnate fleshes is different, the essence of the fleshes, and the source of Their work, are identical; it is just that They exist to perform two different stages of the work, and arise in two different ages. No matter what, God’s incarnate fleshes share the same essence and the same origin—this is a truth no one can deny.

from “The Essence of the Flesh Inhabited by God” in The Word Appears in the Flesh

The first time I came among men was during the Age of Redemption. Of course I came among the Jewish family; therefore the first to see God coming to earth were the Jewish people. The reason I did this work personally was because I wanted to use My incarnate flesh as a sin offering in My redemption work. So the first to see Me were the Jews of the Age of Grace. That was the first time I worked in the flesh. In the Age of Kingdom, My work is to conquer and perfect, so I again do shepherding work in the flesh. This is My second time working in the flesh. In the last two stages of work, what people come into contact with is no longer the invisible, untouchable Spirit, but a person who is the Spirit actualized as flesh. Thus in the eyes of man, I again become a person with none of the look and feel of God. Moreover, the God that people see is not only male, but also female, which is most astounding and puzzling to them. Time and time again, My extraordinary work shatters old beliefs held for many, many years. People are stunned! The so-called God is not only the Holy Spirit, that Spirit, the sevenfold intensified Spirit, the all-encompassing Spirit, but also a person, an ordinary person, an exceptionally common person. He is not only male, but also female. They are similar in that They are both born to humans, and dissimilar in that one is conceived by the Holy Spirit and the other is born to a human but derived directly from the Spirit. They are similar in that both incarnate fleshes of God carry out God the Father’s work, and dissimilar in that one does the work of redemption and the other does the work of conquering. Both represent God the Father, but one is the Lord of redemption filled with lovingkindness and mercy, and the other is the God of righteousness filled with wrath and judgment. One is the Supreme Commander to launch the redemption work, and the other is the righteous God to accomplish the work of conquering. One is the Beginning, the other the End. One is sinless flesh, the other is flesh that completes the redemption, continues the work, and is never of sin. Both are the same Spirit, but They dwell in different fleshes and are born in different places. And They are separated by several thousand years. Yet all Their work is mutually complementary, never conflictual, and can be spoken of in the same breath. Both are people, but one is a baby boy and the other is an infant girl.

from “When It Comes to God, What Is Your Understanding” in The Word Appears in the Flesh

Not only is God a Spirit but He can also become flesh; moreover, He is a body of glory. Jesus, though you have not seen Him, was witnessed by the Israelites, that is, the Jews at the time. He was at first a flesh, but after He was crucified, He became the body of glory. He is the all-encompassing Spirit and can do work in all places. He could be Jehovah, Jesus and the Messiah; in the end, He can become Almighty God. He is righteousness, judgment, and chastisement, is curse and wrath, but also mercy and lovingkindness. All the work done by Him can represent Him.

from “The Two Incarnations Complete the Significance of the Incarnation” in The Word Appears in the Flesh

From the work of Jehovah to that of Jesus, and from the work of Jesus to that of this current stage, these three stages cover the entire breadth of God’s management, and are all the work of one Spirit. From when He created the world, God has always been managing mankind. He is the Beginning and the End, He is the First and the Last, and He is the One who begins an age and the One who brings the age to an end. The three stages of work, in different ages and different locations, are surely carried out by one Spirit. All those who separate these three stages oppose God. Now, you must understand that all the work from the first stage until today is the work of one God, the work of one Spirit, of which there is no doubt.

from “The Vision of God’s Work (3)” in The Word Appears in the Flesh

I believe that our generation is blessed to be able to take up the path unfinished by the people of previous generations, and to be able to behold the reappearance of God from several thousand years ago—God who is here among us, and also fills all things. You would never have thought that you could walk upon this path: Can you do it? This path is led directly by the Holy Spirit, it is led by the sevenfold intensified Spirit of the Lord Jesus Christ, and it is the path that has been opened up for you by the God of today. Even in your wildest dream you couldn’t have imagined that the Jesus of several thousand years ago would appear once again before you. Do you not feel gratified? Who is able to come face-to-face with God? I often pray for our group to receive greater blessings from God that we might be favored by God and gained by Him, but there have also been countless times when I have shed bitter tears for us, asking that God enlighten us, and allow us to behold greater revelations.

The Church of Almighty God | Flee From Religious Babylon the Great | Gospel Movie "The City Will be Overthrown"

Cheng Huize is a co-worker at a house church in China. She has believed in the Lord for many years, and has worked for the Lord with unwavering enthusiasm. She takes on a lot of responsibilities for the church, and she has compassion for her brothers and sisters. As her church grew more and more desolate with each passing day, the wickedness in her church were more and more frequent. The pastor energetically proposed that the church should start a factory, and led the followers down the path to wealth, and also enticed them to join the Three-Self Church so they could rely on help from the Chinese government. This caused a fierce debate to unfold. The pastor stubbornly acted in his own individual interests and did not hesitate to divide the church, leading the believers down the wrong path. Cheng Huize and a few others held fast to the way of the Lord, and fiercely opposed the church becoming a factory and joining the Three-Self Church. Although the elders at the church expressed that they were opposed to this, they only did so to protect their own status and livelihood. Even though the pastor and elders were all harboring secrets in their hearts, locked in constant strife for their own fame and profit, fighting out of envy, when they saw that most of the good sheep and leading sheep in the church had investigated the Eastern Lightning and turned to Almighty God one by one, they joined together with the Chinese government and fought to repress the Eastern Lightning, blocking the believers from coming to study the Eastern Lightning, urging the followers to report them to the police. They set an example by reporting and arresting the brothers and sisters preaching the kingdom gospel. Cheng Huize and others saw that the pastor and the elders had deviated from the Lord's way a long time ago, and the church had already lost the work of the Holy Spirit and had degenerated into a religious place like Babylon the Great, cursed and reviled by the Lord. Because of this, they decided to investigate the Eastern Lightning to search for the manifestation and work of God. After intense debates with the preachers from the Church of Almighty God, Cheng Huize and the others finally began to see clearly that the leaders of the religious world opposed God in substance, and the reason why the religious world declined, day by day drawing nearer to its destruction: The pastors and elders of the religious world, although they could explain the Bible and hold the Bible in high esteem, they only do so for status and livelihood. They are confusing and ensnaring people. They don't hold God in high regard or bear witness for Him, they don't understand God at all. In the last days, when the incarnate Almighty God does His work, they oppose Him without the slightest scruple, they condemn God's work, even to the point where they unite with the Chinese government to arrest believers. This is enough to prove that they possess a satanic nature that hates the truth and hates God. They are modern-day Pharisees, impersonating virtuous people, antichrists who deny that God becomes flesh. The religious world has already completely become a stronghold for antichrists who are enemies of God. They will absolutely meet with God's curses and punishments. Cheng Huize and others were eventually able to differentiate the antichrist nature of the leaders of the religious world, and guided the believers to break away from the confusion and control of the Pharisees, to escape without hesitation from Babylon, the city that will be overthrown….

The Church of Almighty God | Almighty God’s Word Saved Me

I was once a preacher in the True Jesus Church. In October 1998, I accepted Almighty God’s gospel of the last days. When I knew that Almighty God I had resisted and slandered was the returned Savior Jesus whom I had been eagerly waiting for, I was very regretful and hated myself for being arrogant and not seeking the truth and thus becoming a Pharisee of the present age. It was Almighty God’s word that saved me and made me step onto the right track of believing in God and start a true human life.

In 1990, I believed in Jesus. Soon I became a preacher of the church, and I also received much grace. My husband’s mental illness was healed (he believed in the Lord too), and this even more stirred up my love for the Lord. I vigorously sustained the churches and led the brothers and sisters to preach the gospel, being in a very good state.

Just when we were pursuing zealously, envy and strife arose in the church. The elders fought for the position. They attacked each other, judged each other, disobeyed each other, and formed their own cliques, taking the sheep to themselves. The church which had been in a good condition was divided into nine “branches.” After that, the church order was disturbed. The once-a-month Bible study and training meeting was cancelled, and no one from above came to shepherd the churches. The brothers and sisters were in a state of anxiety, and they all complained about that. Many of them were stumbled, some giving up believing, some returning to the world to earn money, and some reluctantly coming to attend the meetings. Seeing that the brothers and sisters became weak and fell, I was very sad. In the face of such a situation, I lost my direction, not knowing what I should preach. So I went to our former elder for help. He said that this fulfilled the words in Matthew 24 in the Bible, “For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom,” which showed that the time of Lord’s coming was near. After I returned to the church, I comforted the brothers and sisters with these words, but they still could not regain their strength. I fasted and prayed with them many times, but it had no effect. And in the church there also occurred many things which puzzled us: Troubles often came upon the brothers’ and sisters’ families; some people had illnesses, and some had car accidents. During that period, my husband’s mental illness recurred. I invited the brothers and sisters to my home and we prayed together for it as before, but no matter how we prayed, it didn’t work. Then I called in an elder who had a gift of driving out demons and two brothers, and we prayed earnestly, asking the Lord to cure him. While we were praying, my husband suddenly stretched out his hand and gave the elder two slaps. We were all stunned: In the past, whenever we prayed in the name of the Lord to drive demons, the possessed person would be healed. But why doesn’t it work today? Does God not listen to our prayer? I couldn’t fathom it out. Seeing my husband being possessed by demons and out of his sense every day, I lost all hope. How will we live our life in the future? Facing the pressures from both the church and the family, I was very distressed, gloomy, and weak. So I came before God and prayed, “O Lord! Where are You? Did You really desert us? O Lord! You know I’m weak. Please save me, save the brothers and sisters!”

Just when I felt aimless and helpless, God stretched out His saving hand to me. One day in August 1998, I went to the meeting place and saw several unfamiliar people fellowshipping with the brothers and sisters. They said, “God has come and been incarnated and done a new work…” The brothers and sisters were all listening to them attentively. Seeing this, I sensed that they were here to “steal the sheep.” So I rebuked them loudly, “You are talking absolute nonsense. The Bible says that the Lord will come on a white cloud. How could He be incarnated? You are exactly the deceiving ‘Kingdom Sect,’ the ‘false Christ,’ that our elder talked about. Leave quickly! Don’t come and disturb us again.” After rebuking them, I drove them away. Then I told the brothers and sisters, “From now on, no one is allowed to receive any outsiders without my permission. You are immature in life, and you cannot discern and are easily deceived.” Later, they came to the meeting place a few more times, but every time they were driven away by us. One day they came again. This time I didn’t treat them rudely but asked, “You say God has come. Where is He? Can you let me see?” A sister took out a book and said, “This is God’s personal utterance. After you read it, you will know.” To make them leave quickly, I kept the book temporarily. After they went away, I was pleased with myself, thinking that I was clever to do so. But I never expected that after a few days, they found my house. From then on, they came every two or three days. Every time they came, they fellowshipped with me about the Bible and urged me to read God’s word, but I listened with half an ear, thinking, “Whatever you say, I will never leave the True Jesus Church and follow you.” They did so for about two months despite wind and rain. I didn’t know how many times they visited my home. Sometimes I was really fed up with them, so I deliberately didn’t go home to avoid them when seeing their bicycles in the courtyard of my house. One day they came again. I wanted to give them an absolute refusal, so I said firmly, “Take away the book. Don’t come again. What you believe is not the true way. I won’t believe it.” Hearing this, the sisters’ eyes were filled with tears, and they said, “Could you please keep it one more night? Quiet your heart and read it carefully. We’ll come and take it away tomorrow.” The sisters’ sincerity and love moved me, so I agreed with it. As it was nearly dark and they had a long way to go, they hurriedly left on their bicycles.

Watching their receding figures, I pondered, “What made them have so great strength? If it were not of God, who would be willing to suffer such hardships? Could it be that God has really done a new work?” So I came before God and prayed, “O God! They said that You have come and done a new work, and this book is Your word. Is it true? I don’t know how to discern. May You enlighten me!” In the evening, I opened the Bible and came across Matthew 23:13, which says, “But woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for you shut up the kingdom of heaven against men: for you neither go in yourselves, neither suffer you them that are entering to go in.” I was startled, and I had a clear feeling that this was God’s guidance. I thought in my heart, “O God! If this is Your work, I will never be a Pharisee to resist You. If You have come, I will surely follow You. You know I’m waiting for You and expecting You.” For the first time I opened the book of God’s word, which was left in my home for about two months. I read these words of God: “When I say that ‘Today, God has new work once more,’ I am referring to God’s return to flesh. Perhaps you do not mind these words, perhaps you despise them, or perhaps they are of great interest to you. Whatever the case, I hope that all those who truly yearn for the appearance of God can face this fact and give it careful consideration. It is best not to jump to conclusions. This is the way that wise people should act. To study such a thing is not difficult, but requires each of us to know this truth: He who is God’s incarnation shall hold the substance of God, and He who is God’s incarnation shall hold the expression of God. Since God becomes flesh, He shall bring forth the work He must do, and since God becomes flesh, He shall express what He is, and shall be able to bring the truth to man, bestow life upon man, and show man the way. Flesh that does not contain the substance of God is surely not the incarnate God; of this there is no doubt. To investigate whether it is God’s incarnate flesh, man must determine this from the disposition He expresses and the words He speaks. Which is to say, whether or not it is God’s incarnate flesh, and whether or not it is the true way, must be judged from His substance. And so, in determining whether it is the flesh of God incarnate, the key is to pay attention to His substance (His work, His words, His disposition, and many more), rather than external appearance. If man sees only His external appearance, and overlooks His substance, then that shows man’s ignorance and naivety. External appearance does not determine substance; what’s more, the work of God has never conformed with the conceptions of man. Did not the outward appearance of Jesus conflict with the conceptions of man? Were not His appearance and dress unable to provide any clues as to His true identity? Was not the reason why the earliest Pharisees opposed Jesus because they merely looked at His external appearance, and did not take to heart the words that He spoke? It is My hope that the brothers and sisters who seek the appearance of God will not repeat the tragedy of history. You must not become the Pharisees of modern times and nail God to the cross again. You should carefully consider how to welcome the return of God, and should have a clear mind of how to be someone who submits to the truth. This is the responsibility of everyone who is waiting for Jesus to return with the clouds. We should rub our spiritual eyes, and not fall prey to the letters full of flights of fancy. We should think about the practical work of God, and should take a look at the real side of God. We should not get carried away, should not lose ourselves in daydreams, always looking forward to the day that the Lord Jesus suddenly descends among you on a cloud to take you who have never known Him or seen Him, and do not know how to do His will. It is better to think upon practical matters!” “After the work of Jehovah, Jesus became flesh to do His work amongst man. His work was not carried out in isolation, but built upon the work of Jehovah. It was work for a new age after God had concluded the Age of Law. Similarly, after the work of Jesus ended, God still continued His work for the next age, because the entire management of God is always progressing forward. When the old age passes, it will be replaced by a new age, and once the old work has been completed, a new work will continue the management of God. This incarnation is God’s second incarnation following the completion of Jesus’ work. Of course, this incarnation does not occur independently, but is the third stage of work after the Age of Law and the Age of Grace. Each new stage of God’s work always brings a new beginning and a new age. So too are there corresponding changes in the disposition of God, in His way of working, in the location of His work, and in His name. No wonder, then, that it is difficult for man to accept the work of God in the new age. But regardless of how He is opposed by man, God is always doing His work, and is always leading the whole of mankind forward. When Jesus came into the world of man, He brought the Age of Grace and ended the Age of Law. During the last days, God once more became flesh, and when He became flesh this time, the Age of Grace ended and the Age of Kingdom began. All those who accept the second incarnation of God will be led into the Age of Kingdom, and be able to personally accept the guidance of God. Though Jesus did much work among man, He only completed the redemption of all mankind and became man’s sin offering, and did not rid man of all his corrupt disposition. Fully saving man from the influence of Satan not only required Jesus to take on the sins of man as the sin offering, but also required God to do greater work to completely rid man of his disposition, which has been corrupted by Satan. And so, after man was forgiven his sins, God returned to flesh to lead man into the new age, and began the work of chastisement and judgment, which brought man to a higher realm. All those who submit under His dominion shall enjoy higher truth and receive greater blessings. They shall truly live in the light, and shall gain the truth, the way, and the life.” (from “Preface” to The Word Appears in the Flesh) God’s words awakened me. Then I knew that God had indeed come among us and done a new work, and understood that only if we accepted God’s new work of the last days would we be able to gain the truth, the way, and the life. God’s word brought hope to me. I was so excited that my eyes ran over with tears. I prayed to God in my heart, “O God! Today it is Your enlightenment that has woken me up. Your coming is far beyond my imagination. I’m really too arrogant and devoid of sense. I kept Your book for two months yet didn’t look at it. I’m really a stupid pig who doesn’t recognize the pearls and am unworthy of Your salvation. I hate my being blind and ignorant and not seeking the truth. I believed and expected You yet resisted, slandered, and condemned You. I missed the opportunity to be saved many times. I hurt Your heart too much! Because of my absurdness, the brothers and sisters who preached the gospel to me suffered much. I really have no humanity. O God, Your love is so immense and so deep. You didn’t remember my evil but illuminated me through Your words, so that I saw Your appearing and understand Your present will. O God! I truly thank You for Your so great salvation. I will do my best to bring the deceived brothers and sisters before You to console Your heart and repay Your love.”

The next day, two sisters came to my home. When they heard my experience the evening before, they were moved to tears. We held each other tightly. God’s love fused our life into one. Then the sisters fellowshipped with me about many verses in the Bible which were fulfilled in God’s work of the last days. And they read a few pieces of God’s word, which strengthened my belief that this way is the true way. So I told them our church condition and my state. One sister said, “Now the churches are all desolate as the temple in the Old Testament was at the time when Jesus worked. As the Age of Grace came, the Holy Spirit began to uphold the work of Jesus Christ. Those who followed Jesus Christ and entered the Age of Grace all had the way to go and received life supply. Those who didn’t follow were in desolation and finally eliminated by God’s work. Today God’s work has advanced further, having entered into the Age of Kingdom from the Age of Grace. The Holy Spirit has begun to uphold the new work of Almighty God in the Age of Kingdom. Those who refuse to accept the new work are in hunger and desolation. This has fulfilled what is said in the Bible, ‘… not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the LORD.’ The desolation of the church is permitted by God, but it is not God’s intention. So to change the desolation and revive the churches, the only way is to seek the work of the Holy Spirit, for only Almighty God’s word can save people.” Then we opened the book of God’s word and read these words: “Christ of the last days brings life, and brings the enduring and everlasting way of truth. This truth is the path through which man shall gain life, and the only path by which man shall know God and be approved by God. If you do not seek the way of life provided by Christ of the last days, then you shall never gain the approval of Jesus, and shall never be qualified to enter the gate of the kingdom of heaven, for you are both a puppet and prisoner of history.” (from “Only Christ of the Last Days Can Give Man the Way of Eternal Life” in The Word Appears in the Flesh). Through hearing the sisters’ fellowship and reading God’s words, I was released in my spirit and my distress and worries of yesterday all vanished. God’s word is really a quick-acting heart medicine. I came to life like dry young crops being moistened by rain.

After accepting Almighty God, I cooperated with the gospel preachers and brought more than two hundred people in three churches in our area before Almighty God. The brothers and sisters held the book of God’s word in hands and loved reading it so much that they could hardly put it down, enjoying the sweetness of God’s word with a thirsty heart. They sang and danced happily and praised God jubilantly, enjoying the pleasure brought by the working of the Holy Spirit, and the deadness of the past was all gone. Whenever I saw the scene of kingdom meeting life, I was thrilled. It was Almighty God who saved us, and it was Almighty God’s word that brought the truth, the way, and life, and led us back to the right track of believing in God. Brothers and sisters! Now the churches are desolate, which is a fact known to all. Every one of us is eagerly expecting the Lord’s coming again. But now God has already been incarnated and come among us, and His work in China is drawing to an end and the next step is to spread the gospel to the entire universe. There isn’t much time left. If you miss this golden opportunity, you’ll regret bitterly. Don’t hold on to what you have or believe the rumors. Seek immediately! To follow God’s footsteps is the only way out, for God says: “The work of God never waits for any that cannot keep pace with God, and the righteous disposition of God shows no mercy to any man.” (from “Christ Does the Work of Judgment with the Truth” in The Word Appears in the Flesh)
