As Christians, prayer is an indispensable part of our everyday lives, and the most direct way to draw close to God. We all hope that our prayers may be heard by the Lord, but we often do not receive God’s response or feel His presence, leaving us at a loss: Why is this? Why isn’t God listening to our prayers? What sorts of prayers are in line with God’s will? Let’s have fellowship on this today and by resolving these three issues, our prayers may be heard by God.

Solo gospel songs | “God’s Love and Essence Are Selfless”

God always gives His best side and the best things to mankind while quietly bearing all the suffering Himself. God never openly discloses these sufferings. Instead, He endures them and waits in silence. God’s endurance is not cold, numb, or helpless, nor is it a sign of weakness. Rather, God’s love and essence have always been selfless. This is a natural revelation of His essence and disposition, and a genuine embodiment of God’s identity as the true Creator.Read More »

Gospel Movie Extract 1 From “Disclose the Mystery About the Bible”—Uncovered: Are There Any Words or Work of God Besides Those in the Bible?

juliettremblayLeave a comment

2000 years ago, when the Lord Jesus came to work, since His words and work went beyond the Scriptures, the Jewish Pharisees condemned and blasphemed Him and colluded with the Roman officials to nail the Lord Jesus to the cross, committing an extremely serious sin and being cursed and punished by God.

2000 years have passed by. The Lord has come back. He is expressing the truth and doing new work. If we delimit that the Lord’s word and work can’t go beyond the Bible, would we walk the wrong road of resisting God as they did? The important thing we should do is seek the truth and figure out whether there are God’s words and work outside the Bible, so we can have the chance to welcome the Lord. Today’s video will guide you to understand the truth.

The True Meaning of the Words “It Is Finished” Spoken by the Lord Jesus on the Cross

juliettremblayLeave a comment

By Chen Jing

Editor’s Note: Many people believe that the words spoken by the Lord Jesus upon the cross, “It is finished” (John 19:30), meant that the Lord’s work to save mankind was then completed, that our sins are forgiven and we are saved, and we are now just waiting for the Lord to come and raise us up into heaven. But is this understanding correct? Does it accord with the facts of God’s work? Let’s read Sister Chen Jing’s experiences together, so that we may understand the true meaning of the words “It is finished.”

Eastern Lightning | spiritual devotion

By Mu Zhen, Taiwan

When I was little, I was a smart and sensible kid and so I always received the loving care of my parents, relatives and friends. Because I always got good grades at school and was kind and easygoing, I was well liked by teachers and classmates. During that time, I was full of hope for the future. Much to my surprise, however, when it came time to test for high school, I missed qualifying for the top girls’ school by half a point and was admitted instead to a second-grade school. I was so unable to accept what had happened that I locked myself in my room for two days and refused to eat or drink. That was the first time I had experienced failure in my life—I felt as if I had fallen into an abyss and I was wracked with torment and pain.Read More »

Utterances of Christ | Chapter 12

Utterances of Christ | Chapter 12

When lightning issues from the East, which is also precisely the moment that I begin to utter My words—when the lightning issues, the whole empyrean is illuminated, and a transformation occurs in all the stars. The entire human race is as if it had been sorted out. Under the glow of this shaft of light from the East, all of mankind is revealed in their original form, their eyes dazzled, unsure what to do, and less sure still how to conceal their ugly features. They are also like unto animals that flee from My light and take refuge in mountain caves—yet not one among them can be effaced from within My light. All humans are astounded, all are waiting, all are watching; with the advent of My light, all rejoice at the day they were born, and likewise all curse the day they were born. Conflicting emotions are impossible to articulate; tears of self-castigation form rivers, and are borne away in the sweeping torrent, gone without trace in an instant. Read More »

Utterances of Christ | Chapter 11

Every person in mankind should accept being scrutinized by My Spirit, should closely inspect their every word and action, and, moreover, should look upon My wondrous deeds. How do you feel at the time of the kingdom’s arrival on earth? When My sons and people stream to My throne, I formally commence judgment before the great white throne. This is to say, when I begin My work on earth in person, and when the era of judgment nears its end, I start to direct My words to the entire universe, and release the voice of My Spirit to the entire universe. Through My words, I will wash clean all the people and things among all that is in heaven and on earth, so that the land is no longer filthy and licentious, but is a holy kingdom. I will renew all things, so that they will be provided for My use, so that they will no longer bear the earthy breath, and no longer be stained with the flavor of the ground. On earth, man has groped for the goal and origins of My words, and has observed My deeds, yet no one has ever truly known the origins of My words, and no one has ever truly beheld the wondrousness in My deeds.Read More »

I Finally Understand What It Means to Fulfill My Duty

I Finally Understand What It Means to Fulfill My Duty

By Xunqiu, South Korea

Almighty God says, “Man’s performance of his duty is, in actuality, the accomplishment of all that is inherent within man, which is to say, that which is possible for man. It is then that his duty is fulfilled. The defects of man during his service are gradually reduced through progressive experience and the process of his undergoing judgment; they do not hinder or affect man’s duty. Those who cease to serve or yield and fall back for fear that there may be drawbacks to their service are the most cowardly of all. If people cannot express what they ought to express during service or achieve what is inherently possible for them, and instead fool about and go through the motions, they have lost the function that a created being should have. Such people are what are known as ‘mediocrities’; they are useless refuse. How can such people properly be called created beings? Are they not corrupt beings that shine on the outside but are rotten within?” (“The Difference Between the Ministry of God Incarnate and the Duty of Man” in The Word Appears in the Flesh).Read More »

Practicing the Truth Is the Key to Harmonious Coordination

Practicing the Truth Is the Key to Harmonious Coordination

By Dongfeng, USA

In August 2018, my duty was to make movie props with Brother Wang. At first, I felt there was so much I didn’t know so I asked Brother Wang for help all the time. After a bit, I got a grasp on the job. Also, I’d studied interior design and I’d worked in construction and had some carpentry experience so I could make props on my own before long. Then I realized that Brother Wang was good at designing interior sets but making the actual props wasn’t his forte. So when we had different trains of thought in that regard, I didn’t want to listen to him. I always thought I was better at making props and my plans were better than his. Over time, we butted heads more and more and sometimes we’d bicker for ages over what to do with a little block of wood. I’d often just give in for the sake of our relationship, but I always felt like I was right. After a while I felt really miserable and didn’t want to work with him at all.Read More »

Knowing the Lord Jesus: Why Did the Lord Jesus Work Amongst Man in an Ordinary Form?

juliettremblayLeave a comment

By Li Qian

I am a pastor and I’ve worked and preached for the Lord for many years. Each time I opened up the Bible, I saw the words written in Matthew 13:53–57 which say: “When Jesus had finished these parables, He departed there. And when He was come into His own country, He taught them in their synagogue, so that they were astonished, and said, From where has this man this wisdom, and these mighty works? Is not this the carpenter’s son? is not His mother called Mary? and His brothers, James, and Joses, and Simon, and Judas? And His sisters, are they not all with us? From where then has this man all these things? And they were offended in Him.” And also John 19:6–7 which say: “When the chief priests therefore and officers saw Him, they cried out, saying, Crucify Him, crucify Him. Pilate said to them, Take you Him, and crucify Him: for I find no fault in Him. The Jews answered him, We have a law, and by our law He ought to die, because He made Himself the Son of God.”Read More »
