The Church of Almighty God | Serve as the Israelites Did

Serve as the Israelites Did

Nowadays many people do not pay attention to what lessons should be learned during coordination with others. I have discovered that many of you cannot learn the lessons at all during coordination with others. Most of you stick to your own views, and when working in the church, you say your piece and he says his, one with no relation to the other, not really cooperating at all. You are absorbed in only communicating your own inner insights, absorbed in only releasing the “burdens” within you, not seeking life at all. It seems that you are just doing the work perfunctorily, always believing that you should follow your own way no matter how other people are, and that you should fellowship as the Holy Spirit guides you, regardless of how other people are.

Improving Caliber Is for Receiving God’s Salvation

Improving Caliber Is for Receiving God’s Salvation

Improving people’s caliber is requiring that you improve your abilities to receive. The most basic requirement of you is that you receive clearly the words spoken to you. Is it not muddled faith if you follow Me without understanding what I say? Your caliber is too low. It is because you do not possess the abilities to receive that you do not even have the slightest understanding of what is being said. As such, it is very difficult to achieve the desired results. Many things cannot be said to you directly and the original effect cannot be achieved. Therefore, additional tasks have to be added to My work. It is necessary to launch this “raising people’s caliber” task among you because your abilities to receive, abilities to see things, and the standards of your lives are too poor.

The Church of Almighty God | How Should You Walk the Last Leg of the Path

How Should You Walk the Last Leg of the Path

You are now on the last leg of the path, and this is a critical portion of it. Perhaps you have endured quite a bit of suffering, done a lot of work, traveled many roads, and listened to many sermons, and it has not been easy to make it to now. If you cannot bear the suffering that is in front of you and if you continue on as you did in the past, then you cannot be perfected. This isn’t to scare you—this is a fact. After Peter underwent quite a bit of God’s work, he gained some insight and a lot of discernment. He also understood quite a bit of the principle of service, and later on he was able to be fully devoted to what Jesus entrusted him with. The great refinement that he received was mostly because in the things that he did, he felt that he owed God too much and he would never be able to make it up to Him, and he recognized that mankind is very corrupt, so he had a guilty conscience.

Gospel Movie | What Is True Faith in God? | "Faith in God" | The Second Coming of Jesus

         Introduction
Yu Congguang preaches the gospel for the Church of Almighty God. While preaching the gospel, he was pursued by the Chinese Communist government. He fled to the mountains, where he received help from Zheng Xun, a co-worker of the local house church. When they first met each other, they felt like they had already known each other for a long time. Zheng Xun took Yu Congguang to the thatched shack where he and his co-workers gathered. There, a debate unfolded among Zheng Xun and his co-workers over whether or not a believer in God should obey those in power.

Eastern Lightning | You Must Understand the Work; Don’t Follow Confusedly!

You Must Understand the Work; Don’t Follow Confusedly!

At present there are many people who believe in a confused manner. Your curiosity is too great, your desire to pursue blessings is too great, and your desire to pursue life is too small. Believers in Jesus nowadays are full of enthusiasm. Jesus is going to welcome them to the heavenly home—can they not believe? Some people are believers their whole lives, some people believe for more than twenty years, or believe for forty or fifty years; they never tire of reading the Bible. This is because no matter what happens, as long as they believe, they will get into heaven. You have followed God along this path for only a few years, yet you are already struggling and have no more endurance.

The Church of Almighty God | The Purpose of Managing Mankind

The Purpose of Managing Mankind

If people can truly fully understand the right path of human life as well as the purpose of God’s management of mankind, they would not hold their individual future and destiny as a treasure in their heart. They would no longer wish to serve their parents who are worse than pigs and dogs. Are man’s future and destiny not exactly the current day so-called “parents” of Peter? They are just like man’s own flesh and blood. Will the destination, the future of the flesh be to see God while alive, or for the soul to meet God after death? Will the flesh end up tomorrow in a great furnace as in tribulations, or will it be in the burning of fire? Aren’t questions like these concerning whether man’s flesh will endure misfortune or suffering the biggest news that anyone now in this stream who has a brain and is in their right mind is most concerned with?

You Should Put Aside the Blessings of Status and Understand God’s Will for the Salvation of Man

You Should Put Aside the Blessings of Status and Understand God’s Will for the Salvation of Man

To man, it is not possible for the descendants of Moab to be made complete and they are not qualified to be made so. The sons of David, on the other hand, certainly have hope and they are certainly able to be made complete. Provided that someone is a descendant of Moab, then they cannot be made complete. Even today, you still don’t know the significance of the work that is done amongst you; up to this current stage you still hold your future prospects in your hearts and are loath to relinquish them. No one cares why today God has just chosen you—the most unworthy group—to work on, so is this work done wrong? Is this work a momentary oversight? Why has God come down precisely to work in your midst, when He has long known that you are the sons of Moab? Do you never think of this? Does God never consider this when He does His work?

God Is the Lord of All Creation

God Is the Lord of All Creation

One stage of the work of the two previous ages took place in Israel; another took place in Judea. Generally speaking, neither stage of this work left Israel; they were the stages of work carried out among the initial chosen people. Thus, in the view of the Israelites, Jehovah God is only the God of the Israelites. Because of Jesus’ work in Judea, and because of His completion of the work of the crucifixion, from the perspective of the Jews, Jesus is the Redeemer of the Jewish people. He is solely the King of the Jews, not of any other people; He is not the Lord who redeems the English, nor the Lord who redeems the Americans, but He is the Lord who redeems the Israelites, and in Israel it is the Jews that He redeems. Actually, God is the Master of all things. He is the God of all creation.

Are You a True Believer of God?

The Church of Almighty God, Almighty God, Eastern Lightning

Are You a True Believer of God?

Perhaps your journey of faith in God has been more than one or two years, and perhaps in your life over these years you have endured much hardship; or perhaps you have not been subjected to hardship and instead have received much grace. It may also be that you have experienced neither hardship nor grace, but instead have lived a life most ordinary. Regardless, you are still a follower of God, so let us fellowship about the subject of following Him. However, I must remind all who read these words that the word of God is directed toward all those who acknowledge God and all those who follow God, not toward all people at large, including those that do not acknowledge God.

The Church of Almighty God | The Sounds of Nature—Hymn Collection

The Sounds of Nature—Hymn Collection
The Book of Revelation predicts, “And I heard a voice from heaven, as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of a great thunder: and I heard the voice of harpers harping with their harps: And they sung as it were a new song before the throne, and before the four beasts, and the elders: and no man could learn that song but the hundred and forty and four thousand, which were redeemed from the earth” (Rev 14:2-3). Dear friends, do you want to listen to this new song mentioned here in this prediction from the Book of Revelation? The following period of time allows us to quietly listen to sounds of nature that praise God! Enter into the new era of following the lamb and singing new songs!

The Church of Almighty God | Posted by The Bible and God

Because He is a man with the essence of God, He is above any of created humans, above any man who can perform God’s work. And so, among all those with a human shell like His, among all those who possess humanity, only He is the incarnate God Himself—all others are created humans. Though they all have humanity, created humans are nothing but human, while God incarnate is different: In His flesh He not only has humanity but more importantly has divinity."

By God, I Escaped the Explosion Wonderfully
Ai’mei, China
I am a Christian. May 31, 2013 was an unforgettable day for me. At past 5 that morning, I was sleeping at home as usual when my mother called to ask whether I had bought spareribs. I felt a little puzzled, thinking: Why does mom ask me about that so early this morning? Then I remembered I had mentioned it to her the day before. So I answered, “No, not yet. I will go to buy some today.” She told me not to buy it and to go to her home to eat it at noon. After hanging up the phone, I felt strange about her behavior: Mom is always thrifty. How did she suddenly call and ask me to go to her house to have spareribs? As I thought of this, I recalled that I had planned to read God’s words first after getting up and then go to visit my colleague after finishing the breakfast at eight o’clock.

8. How to understand that Christ is the truth, the way, and the life? 

Bible Verse(s) for Reference:
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God” (Jhn 1:1-2).
“And the Word was made flesh, and dwelled among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth” (Jhn 1:14).

The Church of Almighty God | On Harmonious Coordination

The Church of Almighty God, Eastern Lightning, Church

Chapter 96. On Harmonious Coordination

Performing your duty in the house of God is entirely different from non-believers doing things. What are the differences? Brothers and sisters are spiritually linked when they’re together. They feel tranquil and at peace when they have fellowship on the truth. They have fellowship together with honest hearts, help each other, and lay themselves bare. Or, they engage in seeking for each other’s difficulties, strive to achieve unity both externally and internally, and they don’t hang onto the things that are on their minds.

The Moment of Change" | Hearing God's Voice and Being Raptured to the Kingdom of Heaven (Trailer)

The Bible says, “In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound … and we shall be changed” (1Co 15:52). What actually is the moment of change? Is it to be infatuated, waiting for the Lord to descend from the clouds, and in a moment man’s image will be changed? Or is it to be a wise virgin listening to the voice of God, experiencing God’s judgment in the last days so to be cleansed in order to become an overcomer?

Mystery of Godliness: The Sequel" (1) - How Will the Lord Appear to Man When He Comes Again?

The Church of Almighty God, Almighty God, Eastern Lightning
The Lord Jesus said, “I have yet many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now. However, when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth” (Jhn 16:12-13). The Lord Jesus said when the Spirit of truth comes, He will show us things to come. Then in what way will God show us? Have you heard what the Spirit says to the churches?

The Church of Almighty God | The Sighing of the Almighty

The Sighing of the Almighty

There is an enormous secret in your heart. You never know it there because you have been living in a world without light shining. Your heart and your spirit have been taken away by the evil one. Your eyes are covered by darkness; you cannot see the sun in the sky, nor the twinkling star in the night. Your ears are clogged with deceptive words and you hear not the thunderous voice of Jehovah, nor the sound of the rushing waters from the throne. You have lost everything that should have belonged to you and everything that the Almighty bestowed upon you. You have entered an endless sea of bitterness, with no strength of a rescue, no hope of survival, left only to struggle and to bustle about.

God Himself, the Unique I | God’s Authority (I)

God Himself, the Unique I

God’s Authority (I)

My last several fellowships were about God’s work, God’s disposition, and God Himself. After hearing these fellowships, do you feel that you have gained an understanding and knowledge of God’s disposition? How great of an understanding and knowledge? Can you put a number to it? Did these fellowships give you a deeper understanding of God? Could it be said that this understanding is a true knowledge of God? Could it be said that this knowledge and understanding of God is a knowledge of the entire substance of God, and all that He has and is? No, obviously not! That is because these fellowships only provided an understanding of part of God’s disposition, and what He has and is—not all of it, or the entirety of it. The fellowships enabled you to understand part of the work once done by God, through which you beheld the disposition of God, and what He has and is, as well as the approach and thinking behind everything that He has done. But this is only a literal, spoken understanding of God, and, in your hearts, you remain uncertain about how much of it is real.

Chapter 62. To Be Honest, You Should Lay Yourself Open to Others

The Church of Almighty God, Eastern Lightning, Church

Chapter 62. To Be Honest, You Should Lay Yourself Open to Others

Do you have any experience of being honest? (It’s difficult being honest.) And why is it difficult? (When I reflect upon myself each day, I discover that I’m good at putting on an act, and that I have said much that is inaccurate. Sometimes, my words will contain emotion and motivations, sometimes I’ll create some artifice to achieve my aims, telling half-truths that are incompatible with the facts; some words, too, will be completely irrelevant, and made up.) These things are the deceitful side of people’s corrupt disposition. Why do people engage in such deceit? To achieve their own aims, and to achieve the objectives they desire. And so they adopt certain methods, which shows that they are not upstanding, and that they are not honest. At such times, people’s insidiousness and cunning is revealed, or else their maliciousness and ignobility.

The Church of Almighty God | Letter Replying Question from Amanda:


Question from Amanda:
One day, I watched a choir video of the Church of Almighty God on the timeline of a Facebook friend. I was attracted by the hymns, so I searched for some movies of your church to watch. And I found that the word expressed by Almighty God truly contains the truth. However, several days ago, my pastor saw I was browsing the website of the Church of Almighty God, then he told me that your church has been condemned and persecuted by the government of your country all the time, and he prevented me from investigating it. Faced with this matter, I feel slightly confused. I think we believe in God, so we should listen to God’s words instead of man’s. Otherwise, we are very easily to repeat the Pharisees’ mistakes of resisting the Lord Jesus. So after seeking in front of the Lord, I decided to write this letter to you, with the purpose of seeking the following questions: If what the Church of Almighty God preaches is the true way, why is the CCP government so against it? Why do religious leaders condemn it with such fervor? When treating the matter that the Church of Almighty God is openly testifying the return of the Lord, why would such servants of God have the same opinions and attitudes as those of the CCP government? What’s the reason behind this?
