Introduction

Almighty God, Christ of the last days, has quietly descended among man brimming with righteousness and majesty, love and compassion. He brings the Age of Grace to an end and ushers in the Age of Kingdom, and expresses new words and does the work of judgment beginning with the house of God. Though no one welcomes God’s coming, He still humbly hides Himself in the flesh, works in many ways, and speaks in various perspectives to supply the needs of man’s life. Gradually, people’s hearts are conquered by these words possessed of authority, and they recognize Almighty God is exactly the return of the Lord Jesus. All of them have great excitement, and follow the footsteps of God and return before the throne of God in succession. It can be seen that where there is the expression of God in the new age, there is the appearance of God; where there are the new words of God, there are the footsteps of God. It is not difficult to search for the footsteps of God!

1. Almighty God Quietly Walked into the Heart of Each of Us

Almighty God Quietly Walked into the Heart of Each of Us

God is silent, and has never appeared to us,

yet His work has never stopped.

He looks upon all lands, and commands all things,

and beholds all the words and deeds of man.

His management is conducted in steps and according to His plan.

It proceeds silently, without dramatic effect,

yet His footsteps advance ever closer to mankind,

and His judgment seat is deployed in the universe at the speed of lightning,

immediately followed by the descent of His throne among us.

What a majestic scene that is, what a stately and solemn tableau.

Like a dove, and like a roaring lion, the Spirit arrives among us all.

He is wise, He is righteous and majestic,

He quietly arrives among us

possessed of authority and filled with love and compassion.

No one is aware of God’s arrival, no one welcomes God’s arrival,

and, moreover, no one knows all that God will do,

no one knows all that God will do.

Man’s life remains unchanged;

his heart is no different, and the days go by as usual.

God lives among us like an ordinary person,

as a most insignificant follower and an ordinary believer.

No one is aware of God’s arrival, no one welcomes God’s arrival,

and, moreover, no one knows all that God will do,

no one knows all that God will do.

Man’s life remains unchanged;

his heart is no different, and the days go by as usual.

God lives among us like an ordinary person,

as a most insignificant follower and an ordinary believer.

He has His own pursuits, His own goals,

and, moreover, He has divinity not possessed by ordinary men.

No one has noticed the existence of His divinity,

and no one has perceived the difference between His substance and that of man.

We live together with Him, unconstrained and unafraid,

for we see Him as nothing more than an insignificant believer.

He watches, watches our every move,

and all of our thoughts and ideas are laid bare before Him.

We live together with Him, unconstrained and unafraid,

for we see Him as nothing more than an insignificant believer.

He watches, watches our every move,

and all of our thoughts and ideas are laid bare before Him.

No one takes an interest in God’s existence,

no one has any imagination of His function,

and, moreover, no one has any suspicion about who He is.

We merely continue our pursuits, as if God has nothing to do with us….

We merely continue our pursuits, as if God has nothing to do with us….

We merely continue our pursuits, as if God has nothing to do with us….

And yet it is this ordinary peron hidden among people

who is doing the new work of saving us.

He does not clarify anything for us, nor does He tell us why He has come.

He merely does the work He intends to do in steps, and according to His plan.

His words and utterances become ever more frequent.

From consoling, exhorting, reminding, and warning, to reproaching and disciplining;

from a tone that is gentle and kind, to words that are fierce and majestic

—they all instill both compassion and trepidation in man.

Everything that He says hits home at the secrets hidden deep within us,

His words sting our hearts, sting our spirits, and leave us ashamed and humiliated.

From Him we enjoy an unending supply of living water,

and thanks to Him we live face-to-face with God.

Unbeknownst to us, this insignificant man

has led us into step after step of God’s work.

We undergo countless trials,

are subjected to innumerable chastenings, and tested by death.

We learn of God’s righteous and majestic disposition,

enjoy, too, His love and compassion,

come to appreciate God’s great power and wisdom,

witness the loveliness of God,

and behold God’s eager desire to save man.

His words cause us to die, and cause us to be reborn;

His words bring us comfort,

yet also leave us wracked with guilt and a sense of indebtedness;

His words bring us joy and peace, but also great pain.

Sometimes we are as lambs to the slaughter in His hands;

sometimes we are like the apple of His eye, and enjoy His love and affection;

sometimes we are like His enemy, turned to ashes by His wrath in His eyes.

We are the mankind saved by Him, we are the maggots in His eyes,

and we are the lost lambs that He thinks of finding day and night.

No one apart from Him can know all of our thoughts,

or have such a grasp of our nature and substance,

or judge the rebelliousness and corruption of mankind,

or speak to us and work among us like this on behalf of the God of heaven.

No one except for Him can possess the authority, wisdom, and dignity of God;

the disposition of God and what He has and is

are issued forth, in their entirety, from Him.

No one apart from Him can show us the way and bring us light.

No one apart from Him can reveal

the mysteries God has undisclosed from creation until today.

No one apart from Him can save us from Satan’s bondage and our corrupt disposition.

From that moment onwards, our minds become conscious,

and our spirits seem to be revived:

This ordinary, insignificant person,

who lives among us and has long been rejected by us

—is he not the Lord Jesus,

who is ever in our thoughts, and whom we long for night and day?

This ordinary, insignificant person,

who lives among us and has long been rejected by us

—is he not the Lord Jesus,

who is ever in our thoughts, and whom we long for night and day?

It is He! It’s really Him! He is our God!

He is the truth, the way, and the life!

The love of God extends forth like the water of a spring,

and is given to you, and to me, and to him,

and to all those who truly seek the truth and await the appearance of God.

Just as the moon always follows the sun, the work of God never ceases,

and is carried out upon you, upon me, upon him,

and upon all those who follow the footprints of God

and accept the judgment and chastisement of God.

The love of God extends forth like the water of a spring,

and is given to you, and to me, and to him,

and to all those who truly seek the truth

and await the appearance of God, await the appearance of God,

to all those who truly seek the truth

and await the appearance of God, await the appearance of God.

Just as the moon always follows the sun, just as the moon always follows the sun,

the work of God never ceases,

and is carried out upon you, upon me, upon him,

and upon all those who follow the footprints of God

and accept the judgment and chastisement of God,

is carried out upon you, upon me, upon him,

and upon all those who follow the footprints of God

and accept the judgment and chastisement of God.

from “Beholding the Appearance of God in His Judgment and Chastisement” in The Word Appears in the Flesh

2. How to Search for God’s Footprints

How to Search for God’s Footprints

Since we are searching for the footprints of God,

we must search, search for God’s will,

for the words of God, for the utterances of God,

for the words of God, for the utterances of God

—for where there are the new words of God, there is the voice of God,

and where there are the footsteps of God, there are the deeds of God.

Where there is the expression of God, there is the appearance of God,

and where there is the appearance of God,

there exists the truth, the way, and the life.

While seeking the footprints of God,

you all ignored the word that “God is the truth, the way, and the life.”

So when many people receive the truth,

they do not believe that they have found the footprints of God

and much less acknowledge the appearance of God.

What a serious error that is!

The appearance of God cannot be reconciled with the conceptions of man,

much less can God appear at the request of man.

God makes His own choices, makes His own choices

and has His own plans when He does His work;

moreover, He has His own objectives, and His own methods, His own methods.

When He does, does His work,

He does not need to discuss with man, or to seek the advice of man,

much less notify each and every person. This is the disposition of God

and furthermore should be recognized by everyone.

If you desire to witness the appearance of God,

if you wish to follow the footprints of God,

then you must first transcend your own conceptions.

You must not demand that God do this or that,

much less should you place Him within your own confines

and limit Him to your own conceptions.

Instead, you should ask

how you should seek the footprints of God, accept the appearance of God,

and how you should submit to the new work of God;

that is what should be done by man.

Since man is not the truth, and is not possessed, not possessed of the truth,

since man is not the truth, and is not possessed, not possessed of the truth,

man should seek, seek, accept, and obey,

man should seek, accept, and obey.

Introduction

God created this world and created mankind. He cares for mankind night and day. At the beginning, man, innocent and carefree, lived happily under God’s care. Corrupted by Satan, man stayed further and further away from God, forgot God’s instructions, forsook God’s way, and abandoned himself to hideous depravity. He lost the blessings and promises of God and fell under the wrath of God….

Look back to the history: Noah and his family survived the deluge, for Noah obeyed God’s calling. The people of Sodom were exterminated by God, for they set themselves in mortal enmity to God. The people of Nineveh received God’s mercy, for they were convinced of God and thus confessed their sins and repented. The entire Jewish nation was subjected to destruction, for they nailed Jesus to the cross…. A series of facts tell us a truth that mankind receives God’s keeping because of their faith and worship for God and it is punished because of their resistance and rejection toward God.

Do you want to know the fate and destination of mankind? Do you wonder how to receive the compassion and tolerance of the Creator? This chorus of God’s word will reveal everything to you….

1. God Presides Over the Fate of All Mankind

2. Only If Mankind Worships the True God Can They Have a Good Fate

3. No Power Can Stand in the Way of What God Wishes to Achieve

Exposing the Truth of the CCP’s Religious Policy Masked by its Constitution

Exposing the Truth of the CCP’s Religious Policy Masked by its Constitution

Ma Jinlong (Captain of the National Security Team): Han Lu, here is a chance for you to score some points. As long as you tell us who your leaders are and where your church’s money is stashed, we will go easy on you. Naturally, if you do well, it is not out of the question that we let you go.

Chen Jun (Deputy captain of the national security team): Humph! According to records of the notebook, the figure of the church’s money is written there. It certifies that you are a church leader! How much money does the church have? Where is it stashed? Who are your higher-ups? Quickly explain!

Han Lu (A Christian): We believers of God neither break the law nor commit crime. What right do you have to interrogate me like a criminal? We preach the gospel to witness for God in order to bring people to God to receive the truth, to be able to get rid of sins for God’s salvation, and enter beautiful destination. These are good deeds, righteous actions. We believers of God have not violated any law. What do you want me to explain? The Constitution clearly stipulates for the freedom of belief. Why don’t you act according to the Constitution? You interrogate me for who my leaders are and how much money the church has. What is the purpose? Is it legal?

Chen Jun: You want to drop the Constitution on us. Was the Constitution written for you? Are you qualified to talk about the Constitution? Under the reign of the Communist Party, the Communist Party is the boss! The Communist Party is atheist and most against those who believe in God. Your belief in God is a violation of the Communist Party’s law, a violation of the Communist Party’s taboo. So the Communist Party will crack down on it. Once we capture you believers of God, we will fix you and interrogate you any way we like. This is the prerogative given to us by the Party Central Committee! Particularly you key figures of the Church of Almighty God, we must severely punish you, and that does not rule out killing! That is the Communist Party’s policy! The Communist Party’s policy is the real law! What does the Constitution amount to? It is a tool to serve the rule of the Communist Party! Do you understand it now?

Han Lu: The Constitution is the fundamental law of a country. Government officials all over the world act in accordance with the Constitution to govern and administer. The Chinese Communist government does not abide by the Constitution but openly trample on it. In your own words, you said that above the Constitution is the real law of the Communist Party. How many sets of laws do you have? If the Chinese Communist government has another set of law behind the Constitution, isn’t this sufficient to prove that in the Communist state, the power is greater than the law? The Constitution devised by the Chinese Communist government is not intended for Chinese citizens to comply with, even the government itself is not bound by the Constitution. What is the use of the Constitution after all? What’s the point?

Ma Jinlong: After living in China for decades, you still haven’t figured this out? The Communist Party is an atheistic party, a revolutionary party. Why is it so against those who believe in God? It is because the Communist Party is most inimical to the Bible most inimical to the word of God! When the Communist Party ascends to power, it will ban and eliminate all religions, ultimately establishing a godless domain in China to ensure its permanent rule! This is the paramount policy of the Communist Party in dealing with religious beliefs! The Constitutional stipulation for religious freedom is intended for display to foreigners, a political means for the Communist Party to consolidate the political power of the regime and enhance its international influence. As long as the Communist Party is in power in China, don’t even dream of having religious freedom! If you stubbornly follow the path of believing in God, you are courting death! Even if you do not face the firing squad, you will rot and die in prison! Do you understand it now? Do you still need me to elaborate?

Chen Jun: China is the Communist Party’s world. When you were born in China, you have to listen to the Communist Party, you have to be a conforming citizen in order to lead a peaceful life. You want to believe in God freely? No way! Even if you flee overseas to believe in God, we will still extradite you back. I tell you, the Communist Party is a revolutionary party. If you defy the Communist Party’s leadership, then the Communist Party will terminate your life, remove your head! I advise you to act sensibly and cooperate with us nicely! The alternative is death! You need to think it over clearly!

Han Lu: I just don’t understand why the Communist Party has to strike against and suppress religious beliefs. Why are Christians being treated as the state’s most wanted criminals? Why are they being repressed and persecuted by revolutionary means, even tortured to death? This does not pass the scrutiny of international law! Those who believe in God magnify and revere God. They value the pursuit of truth and live by the word of God. They are law-abiding citizens who lead the correct path of life. Why does the Communist Party regard those who believe in God as thorns in the side and implacable enemies that cannot coexist with it? Does it mean the Chinese Communist government wants people to follow the depraved and evil ways, and forbids them to follow the right path? No wonder the Chinese society is getting increasingly darker and more evil. Isn’t this the consequence of the Communist Party’s hatred of the truth, attack on justice, and antagonization of God? Almighty God says, “The rise and fall of a country or nation is predicated upon whether its rulers worship God, and whether they lead their people closer to God and to worship Him. … God shall cause those who follow and worship Him to prosper, and shall bring decline and extinction upon those who resist and reject Him.”

Chen Jun: Han Lu! It seems that you really understand the Communist Party. I admit, the Communist Party has never stopped doing bad things since it took power. It has now provoked the people’s resistance. But what are people in the eyes of the Communist Party? The Communist Party does not care about this! I tell you the truth today, the Communist Party is the satanic party, satanic cult that opposes God. Karl Marx, Vladimir Lenin, Joseph Stalin, and Mao Zedong were satanic cult leaders. They were sworn enemies of God who acted specifically against God. It is useless for anyone to oppose, or for the people to hate the Communist Party. The Communist Party has tanks and machine guns. We will repress and annihilate anyone who opposes the Communist Party. The Communist Party is atheist while you believers of God are theist. The Communist Party and believers of God are simply enemies. This is a deadly class struggle of ideology. Do you understand? You should also know that the Communist Party’s faith is encountering a serious crisis. No one believes in the theory of communism anymore. Most Chinese people recognize the existence of God in their hearts. They all recognize the existence of fate and karma. So more and more people are believing in God now. Tell me, how can the Communist Party not repress you? In order to maintain its political power, the Communist Party is capable of doing anything, even at the expense of launching wars and massacring mankind. The Communist Party is able to do this. Who can restrict it?

Han Lu: The Communist Party indeed has the ability to repress and massacre. But is there no retribution? The Roman government frantically condemned and opposed the work of the Lord Jesus, and brutally captured and killed Christians. God sent down the plague and destroyed the Roman regime. The Israelites resisted, condemned and crucified the Lord Jesus. God made Israel cease to exist for nearly two thousand years. From ancient times to the present, haven’t all those who acted against God been destroyed by God? People often say that human beings are very insignificant in front of nature. Aren’t humans even more insignificant in front of the Creator? “Good begets good, evil begets evil.” This is a fact that no one can deny! The existence of Heaven’s law is the fact of God’s dominance. Even if you don’t recognize God, shouldn’t you acknowledge karma?

Praise and Worship the Return of God | Musical Drama "Gospel Choir 19th Performance" | The Church of Almighty God

Introduction

Under a starry, quiet and peaceful night sky, a group of Christians earnestly awaiting the return of the Savior sing and dance to cheerful music. When they hear the joyful news “God has returned” and “God has uttered new words”, they are surprised and excited. They think: “God has returned? He has already appeared?!” With curiosity and uncertainty, one after another, they step into the journey of seeking God’s new words. In their arduous seeking, some people are questioning while others simply accept it. Some people look on without comment, while others make suggestions and search for answers in the Bible—they look but in the end it is fruitless…. Just when they become discouraged, a witness brings them a copy of the Age of Kingdom Bible, and they are deeply attracted to the words in the book. What kind of book is this really? Have they actually found the new words that God has uttered in that book? Have they welcomed the appearance of God?

Every Nation Worships the Practical God

1. This time, God comes to do work not in a spiritual body but in a very ordinary one. Not only is it the body of God’s second incarnation, but also the body in which God returns. It is a very ordinary flesh. In Him, you cannot see anything that is different from others, but you can receive from Him the truths you have never heard before, receive from Him the truths you have never heard before. This insignificant flesh is the embodiment of all the words of truth from God, that which undertakes God’s work in the last days, and an expression of the whole of God’s disposition for man to come to know. Did you not desire greatly to see the God in heaven? Did you not desire greatly to understand the God in heaven? Did you not desire greatly to see the destination of mankind? He will tell you all these secrets that no one can ever tell you, and He will even tell you of the truths that you do not understand. He is your gate into the kingdom, and your guide into the new age.

2. Such an ordinary flesh holds many unfathomable mysteries. His deeds may be inscrutable to you, but the goal of all the work He does is sufficient for you to see that He is not a simple flesh as man believes. For He represents the will of God as well as the care shown by God toward mankind in the last days. For He represents the will of God as well as the care shown by God toward mankind in the last days. Though you cannot hear the words He speaks that seem to shake the heavens and earth or see His eyes like blazing flames, and though you cannot feel the discipline of His iron rod, you can hear from His words the fury of God and know that God shows compassion for mankind; you can see the righteous disposition of God and His wisdom, and moreover, realize the concern and care that God has for all mankind.

3. The work of God in the last days is to allow man to see the God in heaven live among men on earth, and to enable man to come to know, obey, revere, and love God. This is why He has returned to flesh for a second time. Though what man sees this day is a God that is the same as man, a God with a nose and two eyes, and an unremarkable God, in the end God will show you that without the existence of this man, the heaven and earth will undergo a tremendous change; without the existence of this man, the heaven will grow dim, the earth will become chaos, and all mankind will live in famine and plagues. He will show you that without the salvation of God incarnate in the last days, then God would have long ago destroyed all mankind in hell; without the existence of this flesh, then you would forever be chief of sinners and corpses evermore.

4. You should know that without the existence of this flesh, all mankind would face an inevitable calamity and find it difficult to escape God’s more severe punishment of mankind in the last days. Without the birth of this ordinary flesh, you would all be in a state where neither life nor death will come no matter how you seek it; without the existence of this flesh, then this day you would not be able to receive the truth and come before the throne of God. Rather, you would be punished by God because of your grievous sins. Rather, you would be punished by God because of your grievous sins. Do you know? If not for the return of God to the flesh, none would have a chance at salvation; and if not for the coming of this flesh, God would have long ago ended the age of old. As such, can you still reject the second incarnation of God? Since you can so greatly profit from this ordinary man, then why would you not accept Him readily?

5. In the end every nation shall worship this ordinary man, as well as give thanks to and obey this insignificant man. Because it is He who has brought the truth, the life, and the way to save all mankind, ease the conflict between God and man, bring God and man closer together, and communicate thoughts between God and man. It is also He who has brought even greater glory to God. Is not an ordinary man such as this worthy of your trust and adoration? Is such an ordinary flesh not fit to be called Christ? Can such an ordinary man not be the expression of God among men? Is not such a man who helps mankind be spared disaster worthy of your love and for you to hold? Is not such a man worthy of your love and for you to hold?

Why Did the Chinese Communist Party Manufacture the 5/28 Zhaoyuan Incident?

Why Did the Chinese Communist Party Manufacture the 5/28 Zhaoyuan Incident?

Ma Jinlong (Captain of the National Security Team): Tell you the truth, Han Lu. It isn’t that we don’t understand people who believe in God. There are believers of God among my friends. I know that those who believe in God are good people who do not do bad things. Then why does the Communist Party want to capture you? It is because your Church of Almighty God is developing too fast, its impacts are increasingly greater. You still keep spreading the word of Almighty God, shocking the entire religious community. Is it possible that the Communist Party does not suppress and restrict you? Do you know what the “May 28 Shandong Zhaoyuan Case” is about? It was the Communist Party’s signal to the whole world that it wanted to ban and destroy the Church of Almighty God. And it also shouted the slogan, “Troops won’t be withdrawn until the ban is done!” What does this demonstrate? This demonstrates that the central leadership has determined to completely ban and eliminate all the underground churches, especially your Church of Almighty God. After the public trial of the Shandong Zhaoyuan case, although many people have raised all kinds of questions about the Shandong Zhaoyuan case, saying that this case was most likely a phony case fabricated intentionally by the Communist Party to frame and smear the Church of Almighty God, nevertheless, this case was heard publicly by the court. The news media also made a follow-up report on the case. No matter how much you doubt and deny the May 28 Shandong Zhaoyuan case, it is useless. When the Communist Party can say and do so, there will certainly be many people who believe it. Although the lie and violence are not a positive thing, they are effective. Isn’t it what is all about?

Han Lu (A Christian): Captain Ma, this Shandong Zhaoyuan case can only fool people for a short while. Lies cannot last long. The truth will be revealed sooner or later. When the CCP suppresses religious beliefs, suppresses ethnic minorities, suppresses university students, it always fabricates some unjust cases first. These are the public opinion basis designed to achieve its goal. Who doesn’t know that China’s courts and media are fully controlled by the Chinese Communist Party? There is no self-determination at all. The Chinese Communist Party’s court is the national machinery for the Communist Party to maintain dictatorship. The news media is the mouthpiece and instrument of the Chinese Communist Party, trumpeters that fabricate lies for the Chinese Communist Party to confuse the people and deceive the world. This is a publicly recognized fact! The May 28 Shandong Zhaoyuan case is riddled with doubts. When the court was hearing the Shandong Zhaoyuan case, the perpetrators stated in court, “Zhang Fan and I are the only spokespeople for the true ‘Almighty God.’ What the state cracks down on is the ‘Almighty God’ of Zhao Weishan, not the ‘Almighty God’ of ours.” “I never had contact with the Church of Almighty God.” They repeatedly said that they were not members of the Church of Almighty God. The puzzling part was that the Chinese Communist judge even ignored the defendants’ statements and ruled in full view that all those defendants were people of the Church of Almighty God. What was the problem? The Chinese Communist court distorted the facts, framed, smeared, and disregarded the facts and the law by blaming this murder case on the Church of Almighty God. The Chinese Communist government also used the media to publicly report the case in a high-profile. The discerning can see that this was another false case carefully crafted by the Chinese Communist Party. What was the purpose of the CCP in doing so? Smart people can see that this was the fabrication of public opinions to suppress and persecute the Church of Almighty God.

Chen Jun (Deputy captain of the National Security Team): Even if the Shandong Zhaoyuan case is false, then what? In order to suppress the Church of Almighty God, the Chinese Communist Party turned on all the propaganda machines, created a lot of public opinions, and obtained some results. The Chinese Communist Party has a megaphone. All the media, radio stations and newspapers are the tools of the Communist Party. Even if you are in the right, there is no venue for you to say it. The Communist Party has a maxim “A lie will become the truth if it’s repeated ten thousand times.” You mean to tell me that you didn’t know that? What the Communist Party rules the Chinese people with are lies and revolutionary violence. This is a political necessity. As Chairman Mao said, “This is not a conspiracy, this is an open plot.” What are lies and deceptions? “The end justifies the mean” is the Communist Party’s principle and style in doing things! Do you understand?

Han Lu: Do you think that you can confuse and deceive the Chinese people and the world by lies? I don’t think so. Lies can confuse and deceive people just a while, but never for long. Sooner or later, the truth will be completely clear! To me, the saying that “A lie will become the truth if it’s repeated ten thousand times” is not credible. I cannot find the fact of a lie becoming the truth after it was repeated ten thousand times. Lies will ultimately be revealed and eliminated. Lies can never stand firmly. The actions and deeds of the Communist Party fully confirm the words of the Bible: “You are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father you will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and stayed not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it” (John 8:44). The devil is the father of liars. Only the devil will wantonly lie and deceive.

Zhou Zhiyong is a Christian who was arrested by the CCP police for sharing the gospel. After half a month of brutal torture when their interrogation yielded no results, the CCP government suddenly releases him. Zhou Zhiyong quietly rejoices at leaving that evil place. But just as he is getting ready to meet with his brothers and sisters, there is one strange occurrence after another…. Finally one day he is arrested by the police again and only then does he fully understand the truth. The CCP had been using him as bait on a long line to catch the big fish all along!

Almighty God's Word "Peter's Experience—His Knowledge of Chastisement and Judgment"

Introduction

Almighty God says, "In chastisement, Peter could pray like this, “God! My flesh is disobedient, and you chastise me and judge me. I take your chastisement and judgment as a joy. Even if you do not want me, I can see your holy and righteous disposition from your judgment. You judge me so that others can see your righteous disposition in your judgment, and thus I will be content. As long as your disposition can be expressed so that your righteous disposition can be seen by all created beings, and I can have a purer heart of loving you and live up to the image of a righteous man through your judgment, such judgment of yours is good, for this is your good purpose."

Christian Skit "Gathering in a Cowshed" | It's So Hard for Christians in China to Believe in God

Currently, the atheist CCP government's persecution of Christians is increasing by the day. Believers are facing restrictions on practicing their faith at every turn; they can't even find a place to gather in peace.

Gospel Movie clip "The Mystery of Godliness" (5) - How to Know That Christ Is the Truth, the Way and the Life

Introduction

God's two incarnations both testify that "Christ is the truth, the way and the life." Why is it said that Christ is the truth, the way and the life? And those apostles and great spiritual people who followed the Lord Jesus also said many things, things which are of great benefit to man, so why aren't they the truth, the way and the life? How should we understand the difference between these two aspects?

Storyline:

Lin Bo'en was an elder at a house church in China. During all his years as a believer, he felt honored to suffer for the Lord, and valued the knowledge and attainment of the Lord JesusChrist above anything else in the world. One fateful day, he went out to preach and heard some shocking news: The Lord Jesus has returned in the flesh, and He is Christ of the last days—Almighty God! Lin Bo'en was puzzled. When the Lord returns, He is supposed to descend with the clouds, so why would He incarnate Himself and do His work in secret? What mysteries were hidden behind God's incarnation? If the Lord has truly returned, why haven't we been raptured? … An intense debate unfolds between Lin Bo'en and his co-workers and the preachers from the Church of Almighty God … Will they finally be able to understand that Almighty God is the return of the Lord Jesus, the appearance of God in the flesh?

Bible Verses for Reference:

“For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God” (1Pe 4:17).

“And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them. And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works. And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works. And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. And whoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire” (Rev 20:11-15).

Relevant Words of God:

The “judgment” in the words previously spoken—judgment will begin at the house of God—refers to the judgment God passes today on those who come before His throne in the last days. Perhaps there are those who believe in such supernatural imaginings as that, when the last days have arrived, God will erect a big table in the heavens, upon which a white tablecloth will be spread, and then, sitting upon a great throne with all men kneeling on the ground, He will reveal the sins of each man and thereby determine whether they are to ascend to heaven or be sent down to the lake of fire and brimstone. No matter what the imaginings of man, the substance of God’s work cannot be altered. The imaginings of man are nothing but the constructs of man’s thoughts and come from the brain of man, summed up and pieced together from what man has seen and heard. Therefore I say, however brilliant the images conceived, they are still no more than a drawing and are not able to substitute for the plan of God’s work. After all, man has been corrupted by Satan, so how can he then fathom the thoughts of God? Man conceives the work of judgment by God to be particularly fantastic. He believes that since it is God Himself doing the work of judgment, then it must be of the most tremendous scale and incomprehensible to mortals, and it must resound through the heavens and shake the earth; otherwise how could it be the work of judgment by God? He believes that, as this is the work of judgment, then God must be particularly imposing and majestic as He works, and those being judged must be howling with tears and on their knees begging for mercy. Such a scene must be a grand spectacular and be deeply rousing…. Everyone imagines God’s work of judgment to be preternaturally wonderful. Do you know, however, that God began the work of judgment among men long ago and all this while you have been nestled in peaceful oblivion? That, the time that you think God’s work of judgment is officially beginning, it is already time for God to make heaven and earth anew? At that time, perhaps you will have only just understood the meaning of life, but the merciless work of punishment of God shall bring you, still deep in sleep, into hell. Only then will you suddenly realize that God’s work of judgment has already concluded.

… 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.

from “Christ Does the Work of Judgment With the Truth” in The Word Appears in the Flesh

God is silent, and has never appeared to us, yet His work has never stopped. He looks upon all lands, and commands all things, and beholds all the words and deeds of man. His management is conducted in steps and according to His plan. It proceeds silently, without dramatic effect, yet His footsteps advance ever closer to mankind, and His judgment seat is deployed in the universe at the speed of lightning, immediately followed by the descent of His throne among us. What a majestic scene that is, what a stately and solemn tableau. Like a dove, and like a roaring lion, the Spirit arrives among us all. He is wise, He is righteous and majestic, He quietly arrives among us possessed of authority and filled with love and compassion. No one is aware of His arrival, no one welcomes His arrival, and, moreover, no one knows all that He will do. Man’s life remains unchanged; his heart is no different, and the days go by as usual. God lives among us like an ordinary person, as a most insignificant follower and an ordinary believer. He has His own pursuits, His own goals, and, moreover, He has divinity not possessed by ordinary men. No one has noticed the existence of His divinity, and no one has perceived the difference between His substance and that of man.

from “Beholding the Appearance of God in His Judgment and Chastisement” in The Word Appears in the Flesh

Some believe that God may sometime come to earth and appear to man, whereupon He shall personally judge the whole of mankind, testing them one by one without anyone being omitted. Those who think in this way do not know this stage of work of incarnation. God does not judge man one by one, and does not test man one by one; to do thus would not be the work of judgment. Is not the corruption of all mankind the same? Is not the substance of man all the same? What is judged is mankind’s corrupt substance, man’s substance corrupted by Satan, and all the sins of man. God does not judge the trifling and insignificant faults of man. The work of judgment is representative, and is not carried out especially for a certain person. Rather, it is work in which a group of people are judged in order to represent the judgment of all of mankind. By personally carrying out His work on a group of people, God in the flesh uses His work to represent the work of the whole of mankind, after which it is gradually spread. The work of judgment is also thus. God does not judge a certain kind of person or a certain group of people, but judges the unrighteousness of the whole of mankind—man’s opposition to God, for example, or man’s irreverence against Him, or disturbance of the work of God, and so on. What is judged is mankind’s substance of opposition to God, and this work is the work of conquest of the last days. The work and word of the incarnate God witnessed by man are the work of judgment before the great white throne during the last days, which was conceived by man during times past. The work that is currently being done by the incarnate God is exactly the judgment before the great white throne. The incarnate God of today is the God who judges the whole of mankind during the last days. This flesh and His work, word, and entire disposition are the entirety of Him. Although the scope of His work is limited, and does not directly involve the entire universe, the substance of the work of judgment is the direct judgment of all mankind; it is not work that is undertaken only for China, or for a small number of people. During the work of God in the flesh, although the scope of this work does not involve the entire universe, it represents the work of the entire universe, and after He concludes the work within the work scope of His flesh, He will immediately expand this work to the entire universe, in the same way that the gospel of Jesus spread throughout the universe following His resurrection and ascension. Regardless of whether it is the work of the Spirit or the work of the flesh, it is work that is carried out within a limited scope, but which represents the work of the entire universe. During the last days, God appears to do His work using His incarnate identity, and God in the flesh is the God who judges man before the great white throne. Regardless of whether He is the Spirit or the flesh, He who does the work of judgment is the God who judges mankind during the last days. This is defined based on His work, and is not defined according to His external appearance or several other factors. Although man has conceptions of these words, no one can deny the fact of the incarnate God’s judgment and conquest of all mankind. Regardless of how it is evaluated, facts are, after all, facts. No one can say that “The work is done by God, but the flesh is not God.” This is nonsense, for this work can be done by no one except God in the flesh. Since this work has already been completed, following this work the work of God’s judgment of man shall not appear for a second time; the second incarnate God has already concluded all of the work of the entire management, and there shall not be a fourth stage of God’s work.

from “Corrupt Mankind Is More in Need of the Salvation of God Become Flesh” in The Word Appears in the Flesh

The current conquering work is work intended to make it obvious what man’s end will be. Why do I say that today’s chastisement and judgment are the judgment in front of the great white throne of the last days? Do you not see this? Why is the conquering work the last stage? Is it not precisely to make manifest how each class of man will end up? Is it not to allow everyone, in the course of the conquering work of chastisement and judgment, to show his true colors and then to be classified according to kind afterward? Rather than saying this is conquering mankind, it might be better to say that this is showing how each class of man will end up. That is, this is judging their sins and then showing the various classes of man, thereby deciding whether they are evil or righteous. After the conquering work comes the work of rewarding good and punishing evil: People who obey completely, meaning the thoroughly conquered, will be placed in the next step of spreading the work to the entire universe; the unconquered will be placed in darkness and will meet with calamity. Thus, man will be classified according to kind, the evildoers grouped with evil, never again to see the sunlight, and the righteous grouped with good, to receive light and live forever in the light.

from “The Inside Truth of the Conquering Work (1)” in The Word Appears in the Flesh

Those who obey the truth and submit to the work of God shall come under the name of the second incarnate God—the Almighty. They will be able to accept the personal guidance of God, and shall acquire more and higher truth and receive the real human life. They shall behold the vision that people of the past have never seen: “And I turned to see the voice that spoke with me. And being turned, I saw seven golden candlesticks; And in the middle of the seven candlesticks one like to the Son of man, clothed with a garment down to the foot, and girt about the breasts with a golden girdle. His head and his hairs were white like wool, as white as snow; and his eyes were as a flame of fire; And his feet like to fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace; and his voice as the sound of many waters. And he had in his right hand seven stars: and out of his mouth went a sharp two edged sword: and his countenance was as the sun shines in his strength” (Revelation 1:12-16). This vision is the expression of God’s entire disposition, and such an expression of His entire disposition is also the expression of the work of God when He becomes flesh this time. In the torrents of chastisements and judgments, the Son of man expresses His inherent disposition through the speaking of words, allowing all those who accept His chastisement and judgment to see the true face of the Son of man, a face that is a faithful depiction of the face of the Son of man seen by John. (Of course, all this will be invisible to those who do not accept the work of God in the Age of Kingdom.) The true face of God cannot be fully articulated using the words of man, and so God uses the expression of His inherent disposition to show His true face to man. Which is to say that all those who have experienced the inherent disposition of the Son of man have seen the true face of the Son of man, for God is too great and cannot be fully articulated using the words of man. Once man has experienced each step of God’s work in the Age of Kingdom, then he shall know the true meaning of John’s words when he spoke of the Son of man among the lampstands: “His head and his hairs were white like wool, as white as snow; and his eyes were as a flame of fire; And his feet like to fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace; and his voice as the sound of many waters. And he had in his right hand seven stars: and out of his mouth went a sharp two edged sword: and his countenance was as the sun shines in his strength.” At that time, you shall know beyond all doubt that this ordinary flesh that has spoken so many words is really the second incarnate God. And you shall truly sense how blessed you are, and feel yourself the most fortunate. Would you be unwilling to accept this blessing?

from Preface to The Word Appears in the Flesh

The work of judgment is God’s own work, so it should naturally be done by God Himself; it cannot be done by man in His stead. Because judgment is the conquering of the human race through the truth, it is unquestionable that God still appears as the incarnate image to do this work among men. That is to say, in the last days, Christ shall use the truth to teach men around the earth and make all truths known to them. This is God’s work of judgment. Many have a bad feeling about the second incarnation of God, for man finds it difficult to believe that God would become flesh to do the work of judgment. Nevertheless, I must tell you that often the work of God greatly exceeds man’s expectations and is difficult for the minds of men to accept. For men are merely maggots upon the earth, while God is the supreme One that fills the universe; the mind of man is akin to a pit of foul water that gives rise only to maggots, whereas each stage of the work directed by the thoughts of God is the distillation of God’s wisdom. Man constantly wishes to contend with God, to which I say it is self-evident who will suffer loss in the end. I exhort you all not to regard yourselves as more important than gold. If others can accept the judgment of God, then why can you not? How much higher do you stand above others? If others can bow their heads before the truth, why can you not also do so? God’s work has an unstoppable momentum. He will not repeat the work of judgment again for the sake of your “merit,” and you will be filled with boundless regret at letting such a good opportunity slip. If you do not believe My words, then just wait for that great white throne in the sky to pass judgment upon you! You must know that all of the Israelites spurned and denied Jesus, and yet the fact of Jesus’ redemption of mankind still spread to the ends of the universe. Isn’t this a reality that God made long ago? If you are still awaiting Jesus to take you up to heaven, then I say that you are an obstinate piece of deadwood.[a] Jesus will not acknowledge a false believer such as you who is disloyal to the truth and seeks only blessings. On the contrary, He will show no mercy in casting you into the lake of fire to burn for tens of thousands of years.

The Hymn of God's Word "To Deny Christ of the Last Days Is Blasphemy Against the Holy Spirit" | The Church of Almighty God

1. For this Christ is Himself the expression of the Holy Spirit, the expression of God, the One whom God has entrusted to do His work on earth. And so God says that if you cannot accept all that is done by Christ of the last days, then you blaspheme the Holy Spirit. The retribution that should be suffered by those who blaspheme the Holy Spirit is self-evident to all. The retribution that should be suffered by those who blaspheme the Holy Spirit is self-evident to all.

2. God also tells you that if you oppose and deny Christ of the last days, then there is no one who can bear the consequences on your behalf. Furthermore, from this day onward you will not have another chance to gain the approval of God; even if you try to redeem yourself, you will never again behold the face of God. For what you oppose is not a man, what you deny is not some puny being, but Christ. Are you aware of this consequence?

3. You have not made a small mistake, but committed a heinous crime. And so God advises everyone not to bare your fangs before the truth, or make careless criticisms, for only the truth can bring you life, only the truth can bring you life, and nothing except the truth can allow you to be reborn and behold the face of God, nothing except the truth can allow you to be reborn and behold the face of God.
