The Sounds of Nature—Hymn Collection

Introduction

Almighty God says, "My deeds are greater in number than the grains of sand on the beaches, and My wisdom greater than that of all those sons of Solomon, yet men merely think of Me as a physician of little account and an unknown teacher of man! How many believe in Me only so I would heal them? How many believe in Me only so I would use My powers to drive unclean spirits out of their bodies? And how many believe in Me simply to receive peace and joy from Me? How many believe in Me only to demand from Me more material wealth, and how many believe in Me just to spend this life in safety and to be safe and sound in the world to come? How many believe in Me only to avoid the suffering of hell and to receive the blessings of heaven? How many believe in Me only for temporary comfort but do not seek to gain anything in the world to come?"

The Church of Almighty God | Those Who Are to Be Made Perfect Must Undergo Refinement

Those Who Are to Be Made Perfect Must Undergo Refinement

If you believe in God, you must obey God, put the truth into practice, and fulfill your duty. Additionally, you must understand the things you should experience. If you only experience being dealt with, being disciplined, and judgment, if you are only able to enjoy God, but you are unable to feel when God is disciplining you or dealing with you, this is unacceptable. Perhaps in this instance of refinement you are able to stand your ground. This is still not enough; you must march forward. The lesson of loving God is endless, and there is never an end to it. People see believing in God as too simple, but once they gain some practical experience, they realize that belief in God is not as simple as people imagine. When God works to refine man, man suffers, his love of God becomes greater, and more of God’s might is revealed in him.

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)

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.

Beautiful Hymn "The True Love of God"

"I stand before my God again today. My heart has much to say when I see His lovely face. I've left my wandering past behind me. His word fills me with bliss and joy from His grace. It's God's tender words that water and nourish me to grow up. It's His stern words that encourage me to stand up again. God, we sing to You today cos of Your blessings. We give praise to You today because You've raised us. Almighty true God who has loved us! We love You! Oh God! We truly do!

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

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.
