After Sister Li listened, she smiled and said, “Thanks be to God, you’ve asked a critical question! Whether we can become people who do the Father’s will is directly related to our own endings and destination, and fellowship on this question is very necessary! In the last days, the returned Lord Jesus, who is Almighty God, has already revealed the truth and mysteries surrounding this question to us. First, let’s read several passages of Almighty God’s word!” After she spoke, Sister Li opened a book of God’s word and began to read, “A sinner such as you, who has just been redeemed, and has not been changed, or been perfected by God, can you be after God’s heart? For you, you who are still of your old self, it is true that you were saved by Jesus, and that you are not counted as a sinner because of the salvation of God, but this does not prove that you are not sinful, and are not impure.

Editor’s Note: Many people believe that merely by forsaking, expending, laboring, and working for the Lord, we are doing the Father’s will, but the Lord Jesus said, “Not every one that said to Me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that does the will of My Father which is in heaven. Many will say to Me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name? and in Your name have cast out devils? and in Your name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess to them, I never knew you: depart from Me, you that work iniquity” (Matthew 7:21–23). Why did the Lord Jesus say those who work and preach in His name are workers of iniquity? Isn’t forsaking, expending, laboring, and working for the Lord doing the Father’s will? Just what does it mean to do the Father’s will? Sister Xinshou’s experience gives us an answer.

Utterances of Christ | Chapter 31

Eastern Lightning | God's word

The disposition of God runs through all of God’s utterances, but the main thread of His words is revealing the rebellion of all mankind and exposing things such as their disobedience, insubordination, unfairness, unrighteousness, and inability to truly love God, such that God’s words have reached the point where He says that every pore in people’s bodies contains opposition to God, that even their capillaries contain defiance to God. If people do not try to examine these things, they will always be incapable of knowing them, and will never be able to cast them aside. This is to say, the virus that is opposition to God will spread in them and ultimately, it will be as if their white blood cells have devoured their red blood cells, leaving their entire body devoid of red blood cells; in the end, they will die from leukemia.

Almighty God | The Word Appears in the FleshIt’s prophesied in Revelation that “Behold, the Lion of the tribe of Juda, the Root of David, has prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof” (Revelation 5:5). My friends, do you want to get the truths in the little book? If so, you may read the words God has expressed in the last days to understand more truths and mysteries.

Some people may have a little insight into God’s words, but none of them trust their feelings; they are deeply afraid of falling into negativity. Thus, they have always alternated between joy and sorrow. It is fair to say that the lives of all people are filled with grief; to take this a step further, there is refinement in the daily lives of all people, yet I can say that no one gains any release in their spirits each day, and it is as if three great mountains are pressing down on their heads.

Replacing Jealousy With Magnanimity

Personal testimony of salvation | Replacing Jealousy With Magnanimity

By Fu Dan, China

A few years back, Sister Xiaojie was transferred to our church to help me with leadership duties. Over time I found that despite being young, she was of good caliber and really capable. She practiced the truth when problems arose and focused on seeking the principles of the truth. I didn’t match up to her in caliber or work ability. I really admired her and felt she was talented. At a co-workers’ meeting once, a leader asked me if there were people in the church who pursued the truth and had high caliber. I told her about Sister Xiaojie’s strengths without hesitation. Before long, the leader invited her to the co-workers’ meeting and asked her to go to the next several meetings, too. I gradually started to feel a little uncomfortable, thinking, “I was always the one to attend the meetings and the leader discussed church work with me. Now she’s asking Xiaojie to go. It looks like she wants to focus her efforts on training her. If I’d known, I wouldn’t have mentioned her strong points.”Read More »

Can People Pleasers Win God’s Praise?

By Liu Yi, China

Before I was a believer, I was always careful not to offend other people, and I could get along with everyone. I’d help out whenever I saw someone going through a hard time, so I felt like I had good humanity, and that I was a good person. It was only by experiencing the judgment and chastisement of God’s words that I realized that I was just safeguarding my relationships with others and I was devoid of a sense of justice. I was never able to uphold the principles of the truth or to protect the interests of God’s house when it was most critical. I saw I was a selfish, deceitful people pleaser who disgusted God. Filled with regret and detesting myself, I began to focus on practicing the truth, and I then began to change.Read More »

My Inability to Cast Off Sin Causes Me Much Distress

I am a Christian. As a young woman, before I began believing in the Lord, I always had such a strong drive to excel over others. I always felt that I was more educated than my mom and I always disregarded my mom’s suggestions. My mom was also very self-opinionated, always trying to get me to do what she said, and so the two of us were often at loggerheads because of our differing opinions.Read More »

God Appearing and Working in China Is So Significant

juliettremblayLeave a comment

Hearing that the Lord has descended in secret and become flesh in China, doing His work and speaking lots of words, some people think that China is the darkest and the most backward country which resists God most severely. How come the Lord returns to such a country? The Lord should have returned to Israel. However, where He chooses to do His work, there is significance. God has carried out the work of purification upon Chinese people who are the most corrupt and backward, which shows the most representative meaning and which most shows forth God’s almightiness and wisdom…
Read the article to learn more about the purpose of God doing His work in China so that we can welcome the appearance of God!

God Appearing and Working in China Is So Significant“God gave His glory to Israel and then took it away, and afterward He brought the Israelites to the East, and all of humanity to the East. God has brought them all to the light so that they may be reunited with it, and be in association with it, and no longer have to search for it. God shall let all who are searching see the light again and see the glory He had in Israel; God shall let them see that He has long ago come down upon a white cloud into the midst of mankind, let them see the countless clouds of white and fruits in their abundant clusters, and, what is more, let them see Jehovah God of Israel. God shall let them look upon the Master of the Jews, the longed-for Messiah, and the full appearance of God who has been persecuted by kings throughout the ages. Read More »

The Word Appears in the Flesh

Do you know that time is pressing? Therefore, in the short term, you must rely on Me and cast away from you all the things that are incompatible with My disposition: ignorance, slowness to react, unclear thoughts, soft-heartedness, a weak will, absurdity, overwrought emotions, confusion, and a lack of discernment.Read More »

When you see that time is so fleeting and the work of the Holy Spirit rushes ahead, having caused you to attain such great blessings and receive the King of the universe, Almighty God, who is the shining Sun, the King of the kingdom—this is all My grace and mercy. What more is there that could cut you off from My love? Ponder carefully, do not try to escape, wait quietly before Me at every moment and do not always wander outside. Your heart must adhere closely to My heart, and no matter what may happen, do not act blindly or arbitrarily. You must look to My will, do whatever I desire, and be determined to abandon that which I do not desire. You must not act on your emotions, but instead practice righteousness, like Me, without sentiment even for your parents. You must abandon all that does not conform to the truth and you must offer yourself up and expend of yourself for Me, with a pure heart that loves Me. Do not suffer the control of any person, event, or thing; so long as it conforms to My will, then just practice it in accordance with My words. Have no fear, as My hands support you, and I will keep you away from all evildoers. You should guard your heart, be within Me at all times, for your life relies in its living on My own; if you leave Me, then you will wither at once.Read More »
