Christian Movie Trailer | Keep the Faith in the CCP's Persecution | "Seventeen? The Hell You Are!" |


Introduction

"Kid! Do you know that the Communist Party is atheist and against belief in God? In China, what God is there for you to believe in? Where is this God of yours?" "Do not assume that because you are young, we will be lenient with you! If you keep believing in God, you will end up dead!" With electric rods in hands, the Chinese Communist police rush this youngster who is covered with bruises.

This youngster's name is Gao Liang and he was 17 years old that year. He was on his way home from spreading the gospel with an older brother when he was arrested by the Chinese Communist police. The police did not give him anything to eat nor allowed him to sleep for three days and three nights. They interrogated him, tried to extort a confession from him and subjected him to cruel torture. They even used electric rods to shock him on his chin, both his hands and his lower area. They tried to force him to betray God and give them information regarding the church leaders and the financial resources of the church through blackmailing him. This involved threatening to arrest his parents and to get his school to expel him. Unable to achieve its objectives, the Chinese Communist government sentenced him to one year of reeducation through labor. While in prison, not only did Gao Liang endure excessive labor requirements, he was also humiliated and tormented. In the prison, Gao Liang experienced what can only be called hell on earth. During this painful refinement, Gao Liang prayed to God and relied on God. Almighty God's words enlightened him to understand God's intentions. It gave him faith and strength and it guided him so that he could get through the one year he was in prison. The Chinese Communist government's persecution and arrest are engraved in Gao Liang's heart. He sees clearly and deeply experienced the evil essence of the Chinese Communist government and its antagonism toward God. In this world where Satan's powers hold sway, only God loves man the most. Only God can save man. His faith and will to follow God became even more resolute. Gao Liang says that these trials and tribulations are valuable treasures for his life growth and development. It was a special present that God gave him for his 17th year …

Gospel Movie Clip (1) - Why Does the CCP Monitor and Oppress Christians So Much?


Introduction

The Chinese Constitution clearly stipulates freedom of religion, but behind the scenes, the government expends vast human and financial resources on madly suppressing religious beliefs and brutally persecuting Christians. They have not even stopped at purchasing the most advanced surveillance equipment to monitor, track, and arrest Christians. The Chinese government has stripped its citizens of their right to freedom of belief and has wantonly deprived believers of their right to subsistence. So what really is the reason and the goal behind the CCP doing all of this?

God says, "In My plan, Satan has ever snapped at the heels of every step, and, as the foil of My wisdom, has always tried to find ways and means to disrupt My original plan. But could I succumb to its deceitful schemes? All in heaven and on earth serves Me—could the deceitful schemes of Satan be any different? This is precisely the intersection of My wisdom, it is precisely that which is wondrous about My deeds, and it is the principle by which My entire management plan is carried out" (The Word Appears in the Flesh). How does God's work of the last days make use of the Chinese Communist Party and the antichrist forces in the religious world to do service for making people perfect into overcomers?

The Lord Jesus Christ Is Come | The Voice of God | Christian Movie Trailer "Knocking at the Door"


Introduction

The Lord Jesus Christ Is Come | The Voice of God | Christian Movie Trailer "Knocking at the Door"


Two thousand years ago, the Lord Jesus prophesied, "And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom comes; go you out to meet him" (Matthew 25:6). "Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me" (Revelation 3:20). For these two thousand years, believers in the Lord have been watching and waiting for the Lord to knock at their door. But how will the Lord knock at our door when He comes again? … In the last days, some people testify that the Lord Jesus has already returned, and He is the incarnated Almighty God, who is doing the judgment work in the last days. This message sends shock waves through the religious world. … The heroine of this film, Yang Aiguang has believed in the Lord for decades, and she has been working and preaching for the Lord enthusiastically and waiting to welcome the return of Him. One day, some people knocked at her door and told Yang Aiguang and her husband a news that the Lord Jesus has returned, and read the words of Almighty God to them. The couple were deeply moved by the words of Almighty God. However, because of being deceived and bound by the fallacies of the pastor and elder, Yang Aiguang drove the preachers of The Church of Almighty God out and slammed the door shut on them. Later on, the preachers came many times to knock at her door, read to her the words of Almighty God and bear witness to the work of Almighty God in the last days. During that period, the pastor disrupted and blocked her time after time, and she had been hesitating. But through listening to the words of Almighty God, Yang Aiguang understood the truth and had the ability to discern the rumors and fallacies of the pastor and elder. She finally saw the way the Lord knocks at people's door when He returns and how to welcome His second coming. … After the dense fog cleared off, Yang Aiguang heard the voice of God and recognized the fact that Almighty God is indeed the returned Lord Jesus.

Breaking Free From Shackles and Returning to the Presence of God



Breaking Free From Shackles and Returning to the Presence of God


                                               By Yongyuan, USA

In November of 1982, our whole family emigrated to the USA. Because our family had been faithful to the Lord since the generation of my grandfather, we quickly found a Chinese church in Chinatown, New York where we could attend mass after we arrived in the United States. We never missed a single mass since we started attending, and my mother and elder sister were especially good about reading the scriptures whenever they had time to seek the Lord’s blessing. At that time, the priest would often say: “When the Lord comes, He will judge people publicly and divide people into categories: Those who truly repent and confess, and who are of good faith in Him, will be able to go to heaven; those who commit sins but not grave ones will suffer the torment of purgatory but are still able to be saved and ascend to heaven; those who do not believe in the Lord or commit sins that are too grave will suffer the punishment of hell.” These words left an impression on my heart as if they had been branded there. They caused me to believe in the Lord with enthusiasm, and even if I was busy with work, I never stopped going to mass.



In seemingly no time at all, 2014 arrived. One day, a parishioner told me out of the blue, “Your elder sister now believes in Almighty God….” And he said many things besides, slandering and condemning Almighty God and The Church of Almighty God. Hearing this unexpected news, I felt very anxious, and became very worried that my elder sister had gone astray. The news of my sister having accepted the work of Almighty God in the last days quickly spread throughout the whole church. The priest exhorted me to keep my distance from my sister, and there were several other members of the church who also said slanderous and accusatory things against Almighty God to my face. Through all the many times the priest and parishioners “helped” me, I started to believe their words and decided that my sister had gone astray. I told the priest and parishioners that I wouldn’t listen to my sister anymore and that if given the opportunity I would try to bring her back into the fold so she could repent to the Lord. I called my brothers after I got home, and they stood by me. We all tried persuading my sister together, but not only did she continue to firmly believe in Almighty God, she also bore witness to us that Almighty God is the returned Lord. She started trying to persuade us to accept God’s work in the last days so that we wouldn’t miss our opportunity to attain God’s salvation. But my heart had already been filled with negative ideas that were instilled in me by the priest and parishioners. No matter what my sister fellowshiped to me or to what she bore witness, I just would not listen.

Later, my mother and I had several arguments with my sister because of my sister’s belief in Almighty God. Still, no matter what my sister said, I kept believing the priest and the rumors I had read on the Internet, and I never dared to seek or investigate the work and words of Almighty God. Every time we got into an argument it ended unsuccessfully, but I discovered that my mother was gradually starting to agree with what my sister fellowshiped and what she was bearing witness to. She actually came to form a “united front” together with my sister and ended up accepting the work of Almighty God in the last days. When I saw that my mother had also come to believe in Almighty God, I became even more worried. If it really was like the priest and parishioners said and something bad happened to our family, what would I do? Desperate, I went to find Sister Qianhe who was on good terms with both my sister and me. I got her to try and persuade my mother and sister. What I never expected was that not only did this sister fail to persuade my sister and mother, but that she also came to believe in Almighty God. I found something puzzling: This sister’s behavior was upstanding and she was an enthusiastic seeker, so how could she not be able persuade someone, but even come to believe in Almighty God herself? Does the word of Almighty God really have so much power? Could it be that the word of Almighty God can really provide man with life? However, when I thought of the words of the priest and parishioners attacking Almighty God, as well as what I had seen online resisting and accusing The Church of Almighty God, I again felt fear in my heart and didn’t want to be contact with them anymore. After that, I almost never went to see my mother. I would occasionally go just to pay a visit and then leave in a hurry. I refused to listen to what my sister and mother fellowshiped. And so, this “cold war” between myself and my mother and sister went on like this for a year and a half.

One day in March of 2016, I heard that some prominent members of the church had gone to try to persuade my sister, so I went to see whether or not she had changed. When I saw my sister, I asked her what she was thinking. My sister said to me, “I have caught up with the footsteps of the Lamb and affirmed that the way of Almighty God is the truth. Almighty God is the returned Lord and I absolutely will not depart from Almighty God.” My sister’s steady gaze and resounding, forceful answer made my heart waver somewhat and aroused my curiosity. I thought: My sister is the believer in our family who seeks the most ardently, and Sister Qianhe is also someone in the church who seeks well and has discernment. My mother, too, has always had firm faith in the Lord. Now, they were all believers in Almighty God, and their faith had grown all the more after they came to follow Almighty God. They spoke with more insight and no one could shake or contradict them. What power was it that could allow them still to have such great faith in the face of the opposition of so many people? Could the work of Almighty God in the last days really be the true way? Could Almighty God really be the returned Lord? Thinking about it again, my sister, Sister Qianhe, and my mother had accepted the work of Almighty God for almost two years, but when I saw that everything in their lives was just as it had been before, I could see that the alarmism and scare tactics of the priest, and what I had read online had not come true in their case…. When I thought about this, my heart softened a bit and I wanted to investigate the words and work of Almighty God. I shared my thoughts with my sister. She responded with positivity and invited me to my mother’s house to listen to the sisters of The Church of Almighty God fellowship about Almighty God’s work in the last days.

On the weekend, I drove to my mother’s house. My sister, Sister Qianhe, and a sister of The Church of Almighty God named Zhang Xiao were all there. Sister Qianhe was especially happy to hear that I wanted to seek and investigate. She fellowshiped to me: “In the last days, the Lord has come mainly to express the word and do the work of judging and cleansing people in order to save us from the bondage of sin. At present, the people in the Age of Grace are living in a cycle of committing and then confessing sin. Even though we persevere in attending mass and reading the scriptures, as well as confessing to the priest, we still continue to lie and deceive and to live in our corrupt dispositions such as arrogance, greed, and selfishness. In spite of ourselves, we sin against and resist God, and there is no one who is able to break free of the bondage of this sinful nature, nor anyone able to attain to purity through reliance on confession and repentance. Therefore, we still must accept the work the Lord returned to do in the last days of judging and cleansing people. Only by doing so can we completely break free from the bondage of sin, be cleansed and transformed, and attain salvation from God.” Perplexed at having heard this, I asked: “The priest often said: ‘If people commit minor sins, then when the Lord comes again to publicly judge mankind, after completing their suffering in purgatory they will be able to ascend to heaven. Those who commit major sins go straight to hell to be punished.’ But how can you say that the work of judgment God returns to do is to cleanse and save people?” Sister Qianhe said: “I too used to believe the words of the priest. I had the same notions as you about how God will return to do the work of judgment, but thinking about it now, does what the priest said actually accord with the Bible? Is it based on the word of the Lord? Did the Lord Jesus say anything about purgatory? Did He say anything about people who commit minor sins being able to ascend to heaven after concluding their suffering in purgatory, and that only those who commit major sins go to hell? Of course not! So where do these words come from? They obviously come out of people’s notions and imaginations and are the speculation and conjecture of man. They do not accord whatsoever with the words of God, nor do they accord with the reality of God’s work. What use is it for us to persist in this?” I nodded in silence after hearing what Sister Qianhe fellowshiped. She continued: “We are, at present, filled with sin, and there is no one who is clean. Based on what the priest said, when the Lord returns to publicly judge all peoples, those who commit minor sins will go to purgatory whereas those who commit major sins go to hell. In that case, wouldn’t we all have to be condemned and suffer the punishment of going to hell? Wouldn’t God’s work of saving mankind be all for naught? Would there be any point in the Lord’s return?” What the sister fellowshiped touched my heart, and I thought: It’s true, even if we believe in the Lord, all we do is commit sins and confess them all day, and no one is clean. Indeed, no one is fit to see God, and if God has come to openly judge, condemn, and punish people, then everyone will have to go to hell. No one could attain salvation…. It was only then that I realized how impractical the words are that “When the Lord comes again to openly judge all peoples, those who commit major sins go directly to hell whereas those who commit minor sins go into purgatory, and after completing their suffering they will ascend into heaven.” It is not at all in keeping with God’s intention of saving man. Sister Qianhe then said: “As for God’s work of judgment in the last days, let us all take a look at how it is described in the word of Almighty God! Almighty God says: ‘God has not come to kill, or destroy, but to judge, curse, chastise, and save. Prior to the conclusion of His 6,000-year management plan—before He makes plain the end of each category of man—God’s work on earth is for the sake of salvation, it is all in order to make those who love Him totally complete, and bring them into submission to His dominion. No matter how God saves people, it is all done by making them break away from their old satanic nature; that is, He saves them by making them seek life. If they do not seek life then they will have no way to accept God’s salvation’ (‘You Should Put Aside the Blessings of Status and Understand God’s Will for the Salvation of Man’ in The Word Appears in the Flesh). ‘In the last days, Christ uses a variety of truths to teach man, expose the essence of man, and dissect his words and deeds. These words comprise various truths, such as man’s duty, how man should obey God, how man should be loyal to God, how man ought to live out the normal humanity, as well as the wisdom and the disposition of God, and so on. These words are all directed at the essence of man and his corrupt disposition. In particular, those words that expose how man spurns God are spoken in regard to how man is an embodiment of Satan and an enemy force against God. In undertaking His work of judgment, God does not simply make clear the nature of man with just a few words; He exposes, deals with, and prunes it over the long term. These methods of exposure, dealing, and pruning cannot be substituted with ordinary words, but with the truth that man does not possess at all. Only methods of this kind are deemed judgment; only through judgment of this kind can man be subdued and thoroughly convinced into submission to God, and moreover gain true knowledge of God. What the work of judgment brings about is man’s understanding of the true face of God and the truth about his own rebelliousness. The work of judgment allows man to gain much understanding of the will of God, of the purpose of God’s work, and of the mysteries that are incomprehensible to him. It also allows man to recognize and know his corrupt substance and the roots of his corruption, as well as to discover the ugliness of man. These effects are all brought about by the work of judgment, for the substance of this work is actually the work of opening up the truth, the way, and the life of God to all those who have faith in Him. This work is the work of judgment done by God’” (“Christ Does the Work of Judgment With the Truth” in The Word Appears in the Flesh).

After reading the word of God, Sister Zhang Xiao fellowshiped: “The word of Almighty God makes precisely clear the meaning of the work of judgment in the last days, the exact nature of judgment, and the effect of the work of judgment among man. God’s work of judgment is not killing and punishing people like in our notions and imaginations. Instead, this work makes use of the word to expose people’s thoughts, speech, and actions, to root out the deep-rooted satanic and corrupt nature that resists God. It allows us to know the truth of our corruption by Satan. At the same time, it allows us to know God’s righteous and holy disposition. When we get an understanding of these things, we begin to hate ourselves, and this produces true repentance and a heart that truly reveres God. In the judgment of the word of God we can better understand and gain the truth. We will be able naturally to live in reliance on the truth, and this way whatever satanic things we hold within will gradually be thrown off. We will be able to be in harmony with God, and from that moment on will no longer go against or resist God. We will be able to truly obey God, and only this is attaining salvation. After being corrupted by Satan, we no longer have human likeness and we lose the conscience and sense that normal people ought to have. What takes their place are the satanic dispositions such as arrogance, self-righteousness, selfishness, and craftiness which fill us. Our attitudes and notions toward things are also not compatible with God. For example: When faced with God’s work of judgment in the last days, we will all have our own understanding and will all cling to our own views regardless of whether there is a basis in God’s word. We will not seek God’s will, but blindly believe that our own way of thinking is correct. When God’s work doesn’t conform to our notions and imaginations, we will make our own judgments about God, and we will deny, attack, and accuse Him. This is caused by our arrogant nature. With such a satanic nature it is too easy for us to resist God, so we are in urgent need of God doing a stage of the work of judgment, and of Him cleansing and changing our satanic disposition. Without that, no one will break free of corruption and receive salvation.”



After listening to the word of Almighty God and what the sister fellowshiped, my heart suddenly became clear at once and felt that these words were spoken very well. Although there were some things I didn’t understand, these words made me feel that God’s work is so wise and that the Lord really does love man so much. In the past, when it came to God coming to judge people, I thought that people would go to hell or suffer the torment of purgatory. In fact, God’s work of judgment is not what we imagined, but rather it is that God comes incarnate to practically express the truth and do the work of judgment. This way, He cleanses and saves people! God’s work of judgment is so full of meaning. It is exactly what we corrupt mankind need!

When I was listening to all this with keen interest, my husband suddenly called to say he wanted to use the car. My mother noticed that I would then listen to the word. Right when I was about to leave, she gave me a book called The Scroll Opened by the Lamb and said that the words within it were the voice of God Himself. She also told me that when I went back I had to read the word of Almighty God. After I got home, I would read the book whenever I had time. Through reading the word of Almighty God, I understood many truths and gained a lot of knowledge. At the same time, I also distinctly felt God observing the depths of man’s heart. Every word of Almighty God pierced straight to my heart, revealing my inner corrupt nature. Sometimes, I saw how the word of God reveals our corruption, and I felt that God feels particular contempt for our corruption. It is as if God is angry with us, and my numb and unfeeling heart was stirred immediately. I had awe for God in my heart, and I was no longer like I had been before, when I had committed sins without fear. Through many experiences and the enlightenment and guidance of God’s words, I saw that the work of judgment of Almighty God could indeed save people from sin and allow them to break away from sin. How practical is God’s work! When I thought back on how I had resisted God’s work in the last days throughout the last two years, I felt a lot of remorse. I hated myself and had been so foolish and ignorant to not seek to understand or investigate a matter as great as the second coming of the Lord, but instead I listened blindly to those rumors, I shut the Lord out, I condemned God, and I resisted God. I almost missed the Lord’s salvation in the last days. How could I have been so blind! I saw clearly that the slander, judgments, and blasphemy against Almighty God and the defamation of The Church of Almighty God were all just falsehood from Satan. Those are tricks used especially by Satan to confuse, entrap, and obstruct people from accepting God’s work in the last days. No longer would I believe the falsehoods of Satan. No matter what I encounter or hear in the future, I will always judge right from wrong according to the word of God and to reality. I would no longer listen to Satan’s lies and deceit, and only in so doing can one be in accord with the will of God. With this in mind, I sincerely gave thanks to Almighty God for the mercy and salvation He provided me. God did not treat me on the basis of my transgressions, but continuously arranged for people to spread the gospel to me and bring me back into the house of God. How great is God’s love! Every time I hear the lyrics of the music video “Song of Heartfelt Attachment,” which go: “There is One who is God incarnate. All He says, all He does, is the truth. I love well His righteousness, His wisdom. To see Him, to obey Him, is truly a blessing,” my heart is particularly touched and inspired. I feel how fortunate I am to welcome the return of the Lord and to encounter the word of God directly. What a great fortune this is to receive!

I later participated in the life of The Church of Almighty God. The brothers and sisters would sing hymnsand dance to give praise to God together. They would read the word of God, and if there was any corruption revealed, they would open wide their hearts and fellowship it. Everyone would discuss their knowledge and experience of the word of Almighty God and seek a path to enter and carry out. This kind of life in the church made me feel especially liberated and provided for. I truly realized that only such a church in which the Holy Spirit is at work could be the house of God. This is where I belong. I was now entirely determined that Almighty God is the returned Lord. I determined to follow Almighty God to the end!

Jiandan sat on her chair, staring at the number of articles on the worksheet in complete amazement and muttering to herself: “Why is there such a backlog of unchecked articles? Could Sister Liu Yan be in a bad state? But even if she is, she mustn’t let that interfere with her work.”

God’s Words Led Me Out of the Woods



God’s Words Led Me Out of the Woods


By Xiao Rui, Sichuan Province

When my duty in The Church of Almighty God was preaching the gospel, while doing this I encountered religious leaders who bore false witness to frantically resist, disturb, and block people’s investigation and acceptance of God’s work in the last days. They even called the police to have them arrest those of us sharing the gospel. As a result, those we were preaching to didn’t dare come into contact with us, and those who had just accepted the gospel were subjected to disruptions and became uncertain about God’s work. Our gospel work was greatly hindered. I felt really anxious when I saw so many brothers and sisters with genuine faith who were hoodwinked and disrupted by the pastors and elders. They were unable to return before God and accept His purification and salvation of the last days. I worked hard every day to share fellowship on God’s words with them to resolve the notions they held regarding God’s work, but after doing this for a period of time, our gospel work still hadn’t taken a turn for the better. I thought: “Evangelical work is so difficult to carry out. It would be so wonderful if God just displayed some miracles and punished those who bear false witness as well as those who seriously resist Him to show to those who have been deceived. Then wouldn’t the work of the gospel advance more quickly? It wouldn’t be so difficult for us to preach the gospel.” This is how this hope came up in my heart every time I encountered difficulties. Later, I read the book of Classic Examples of Punishment for Resisting Almighty God and during fellowship heard some testimonies on God’s signs and wonders, and I felt very glad in my heart.

God Presides Over the Fate of All Mankind




As members of the human race and devout Christians, it is the responsibility and obligation of us all to offer up our mind and body for the fulfillment of God’s commission, for our entire being came from God, and it exists thanks to the sovereignty of God. If our minds and bodies are not for God’s commission and not for the righteous cause of mankind, then our souls will be unworthy of those who were martyred for God’s commission, much more unworthy of God, who has provided us with everything.

The Word of God | "All Who Do Not Know God Are Those Who Oppose God"


Introduction

Almighty God says, "Those who I say are in opposition to God are those who do not know God, those who acknowledge God with empty words yet do not know Him, those who follow God yet do not obey Him, and those who revel in the grace of God yet cannot stand witness to Him. Without an understanding of the purpose of God’s work and the work of God in man, man cannot be in accord with the heart of God, and cannot stand witness to God. The reason that man opposes God stems, on the one hand, from the corrupt disposition of man, and on the other hand, from ignorance of God and lack of understanding of the principles of God’s work and His will toward man. These two aspects merge into a history of man’s resistance to God."

Eastern Lightning, The Church of Almighty God was created because of the appearance and work of Almighty God, the second coming of the Lord Jesus, Christ of the last days. It is made up of all those who accept Almighty God's work in the last days and are conquered and saved by His words. It was entirely founded by Almighty God personally and is led by Him as the Shepherd. It was definitely not created by a person. Christ is the truth, the way, and the life. God's sheep hear God's voice. As long as you read the words of Almighty God, you will see God has appeared.

A Hymn of God's Words

Emulate the Lord Jesus

I

Jesus completed God's mission,

the redemption work of all man

by giving His cares to God's will,

without selfish purpose or plans.

At the center He placed God's plan.

To heavenly Father He prayed,

seeking heavenly Father's will.

He would seek and He'd always pray.

If like Jesus you give

all your cares to God

and turn your back to flesh,

God will trust you with vital tasks

to enable you to serve Him.

II

He prayed and said, "God the Father!

Accomplish that which is Your will.

Don't act based on My intentions,

act so that Your plan is fulfilled.

Why should You care

for man who's weak,

who is like an ant in Your hand?

I wish only to do Your will.

Do in Me as You would intend."

If like Jesus you give

all your cares to God

and turn your back to flesh,

God will trust you with vital tasks

to enable you to serve Him.

III

On the road to Jerusalem,

Jesus's heart felt agonized.

Yet He kept His word, powered forth

towards where He would be crucified.

At last He was nailed to the cross,

became an image of sinful flesh,

completing work of redemption,

rising above shackles of death.

If like Jesus you give

all your cares to God

and turn your back to flesh,

God will trust you with vital tasks

to enable you to serve Him.

IV

Jesus lived for thirty-three years,

doing all to satisfy God,

never thinking of loss or gain

but the will of God the Father.

The service of the Lord Jesus

was always in line with God's will.

So the burden of redemption

He was qualified to fulfill.

Boundless suffering He endured,

and countless times Satan tempted.

Yet disheartened He never was.

In trust and love,

God gave Him this task.

If like Jesus you give

all your cares to God

and turn your back to flesh,

God will trust you with vital tasks

to enable you to serve Him.

And only at times like these

will you dare to say you do His will,

you complete His commission,

that you truly are serving God.

People Who Believe in God but Cannot Submit to God Will Be Eliminated


People Who Believe in God but Cannot Submit to God Will Be Eliminated


There are currently some people in the church who don’t have a good disposition. They do not submit at all, do not care about God’s will and have even less consideration for the work of God’s family. Are these people still able to do their duty? There is no way that they can do their duty and God’s family will not use this kind of people. What kind of people are these people who do not submit? Do they belong to God or do they belong to Satan? These people do not listen to the words spoken by the leaders and workers even though they are right; they do not submit and will be eliminated. So, what is the essence of this problem of disobedience? It is that these people are unable to submit to the truth. They are not able to accept what others say although it is right and is in line with the truth. This kind of people belong to Satan and cannot be saved. If people do not diligently pursue the truth and learn to submit, then they will definitely be eliminated.

The Word of God in the Last Days | "God Himself, the Unique VIII" (Part Four)


Introduction

Almighty God says, "God’s supply of all things is sufficient to show that God is the source of life for all things, because He is the source of supply that has enabled all things to exist, live, reproduce, and continue on. Apart from God there is no other. He supplies all needs of all things and all needs of mankind, regardless of whether it is the most basic needs, what people need daily, or the supply of the truth to people’s spirits. From all perspectives, when it comes to God’s identity and His status for mankind, only God Himself is the source of life for all things. This is absolutely certain."

Using God’s Word as a Mirror



By Wu Xia, Shandong Province

After I accepted God’s work of the last days, I came to understand through reading God’s words that, if one wants to achieve a changed disposition and enter onto the right track of salvation in one’s belief in God, then one first has to learn the lesson of self-knowledge. Only by accepting the judgment and chastisement of God’s words, by knowing oneself from within God’s words, and by achieving an understanding of one’s own various satanic dispositions and corrupt essence, can one hate oneself and forsake one’s flesh, and no longer do anything rebellious against God or that defies God. Only when one truly knows the truth of one’s own corruption can one sincerely thirst for the truth, pursue the truth, and take God’s words into one’s real life to experience and practice. Only in this way can one gradually enter into the truth and achieve a changed disposition, and that is why self-knowledge is so important. Consequently, while reading the word of God, I made sure to cross-check myself against the word by which God exposes man. Whatever happened to me, I could recognize my deficiencies and inadequacies. I felt that I was able to understand myself. Yet, it was through a revelation from God that I was able to see that I did not truly understand myself according to God’s word.
