The Way in Which Jesus Returns Is Different From What Pastors Said(part-2)

The Way in Which Jesus Returns Is Different From What Pastors Said

Visiting a website by chance, I found the truth.

Once, a brother of my former church sent the website of The Church of Almighty God to our chat group and warned us not to visit it. He also said some words of condemnation. But I was very curious about it and wanted to open it to see what there was on the website. I thought in my heart: “I just have a look at it on my cellphone. There won’t be any harm in doing so.” So I clicked on the website. Immediately, I was attracted by the titles “What Is the Incarnation?” and “What Is the Substance of the Incarnation?” I clicked on it and saw the following passage of words: “The meaning of incarnation is that God appears in the flesh, and He comes to work among man of His creation in the image of a flesh. So, for God to be incarnated, He must first be flesh, flesh with normal humanity; this, at the very least, must be true. In fact, the implication of God’s incarnation is that God lives and works in the flesh, God in His very essence becomes flesh, becomes a man.” This passage of words explained what the incarnation is very clearly. It turned out that the incarnation refers to God appearing to man and working among man in the flesh. After reading these words, I suddenly remembered the verses of scriptures that the sister and I had studied those days, many of which all mentioned that God will be incarnated again to come among man. Now, through reading these words, I was even clearer about that. God incarnate, to us human beings, is an ordinary flesh who has normal humanity. So we cannot recognize Him. It’s just like when the Lord Jesus came to work among man. Because He appeared like an ordinary man, people dared to resist and accuse Him. It was only until the Lord appeared to people publicly that they realized that the One they accused is none other than God Himself. But it was too late to regret. At this moment, I seemed to understand what the Scripture says:

“Behold, he comes with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen” (Revelation 1:7). “For as the lightning, that lightens out of the one part under heaven, shines to the other part under heaven; so shall also the Son of man be in his day. But first must he suffer many things, and be rejected of this generation” (Luke 17:24-25). Almighty God’s words are truly good. The more I read, the more I was enlightened, and the more I wanted to continue reading. At that moment, I thought: “In the past, I, without reading the words of Almighty God, blindly listened to the pastors’ and elders’ words of condemning The Church of Almighty God. Now I know I was deceived. Almighty God’s words are all the truths and make me think and see clearly, not in the slightest like what the pastors said. I should read more of these words.”

In the next few days, I visited the website of The Church of Almighty God every day. The topics like “Why Must God Be Incarnated in the Flesh to Do His Work?” “Why Is It Said That God’s Two Incarnations Complete the Significance of the Incarnation?” etc. all attracted me. Besides that, I also watched many gospel movies like Disclose the Mystery About the Bible, Exploration of the “Trinity,” and so on. These movies turned around my previous erroneous views about the Bible and allowed me to know the absurdity of the Trinity. The fellowships about these truths were very practical, and I really gained sustenance from them.

Afterward, I sent these videos to the WhatsApp group of my family. Seeing these, my family all advised me: “You’d better not watch them. If you have any questions, you can go ask the pastors.” Hearing the words of my family, I thought: “Almighty God’s words are all the truth. Why can’t I have an investigation? Now the pastors all have nothing to preach. They failed to resolve my questions when I asked them. The fellowships about the truth in these videos are so clear. Why can’t I have a look? If I go to consult the pastors, they will surely hinder me from investigating it. I should first investigate it by myself.” So I said to them: “We can’t blindly listen to the pastors’ and elders’ words to condemn The Church of Almighty God. Have you read Almighty God’s words? Since you haven’t, you’d better watch your tongue, lest you offend God. It is said in the Bible: ‘And whoever speaks a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but whoever speaks against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, neither in the world to come’ (Matthew 12:32).” Hearing me say so, my family didn’t say anything more.

Learning that the Lord had returned, I was both shocked and happy.

One day, the sisters came to my home to study the Bible with me. I shared with them what I had gained these days from the website of The Church of Almighty God. After hearing what I said, the sisters looked at each other and smiled, saying: “In fact, we came here today just to witness to you Almighty God’s work in the last days. Sister, do you know that the Lord Jesus, whom we have long expected for has returned? He is the incarnate Almighty God!” Hearing their words, I was both shocked and happy. I asked them with great joy: “Really? Has the Lord really returned?” “Yes!” said the sister. “But now many people doubt, deny, and even reject Almighty God’s work of the last days because of believing the rumors of the CCP government and the religious pastors and elders. And they have missed the chance of welcoming the Lord’s return. This is truly a lamentable thing for a believer in the Lord! Actually, only when we first understand the truth relating to the incarnation, can we not be deceived, and will we be able to welcome the Lord when He knocks on the door.

“Sister, let’s first read two passages of Almighty God’s words: ‘God become flesh is called Christ, and so the Christ that can give people the truth is called God. There is nothing excessive about this, for He possesses the substance of God, and possesses God’s disposition, and wisdom in His work, that are unattainable by man. Those who call themselves Christ, yet cannot do the work of God, are frauds. Christ is not merely the manifestation of God on earth, but instead, the particular flesh assumed by God as He carries out and completes His work among man. This flesh is not one that can be replaced by just any man, but one that can adequately bear God’s work on earth, and express the disposition of God, and well represent God, and provide man with life.’

‘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. His humanity can be seen in the outer appearance of His flesh and in His everyday life, but His divinity is difficult to perceive. Because His divinity is expressed only when He has humanity, and is not as supernatural as people imagine it to be, it is extremely difficult for people to see. … Since God becomes flesh, His essence is a combination of humanity and divinity. This combination is called God Himself, God Himself on earth.’

“From God’s words we can clearly see that the substance of God’s incarnation is a combination of a normal humanity and a complete divinity. Outwardly, the incarnate God is an ordinary man—He has normal human life and emotions, and lives together with man. However, the incarnate God is entirely different from man in essence. Man is nothing but human, while Christ has not only the normal humanity but also the complete divinity. At all times and all places, He can do God’s work, reveal God’s disposition and what God has and is, and express the truths to supply man and save man. All these are not possessed by any created being. We all know that the Lord Jesus is the incarnate God and is Christ. From the outside, He is an ordinary person, but He can express the truths and bestow man the way of repentance, and He has the authority to absolve man’s sins and accomplish the work of crucifixion to redeem all mankind. He also can perform many miracles, such as feeding five thousand people with five loaves of bread and two fish, calming the wind and sea, and making the lame walk, the leper healed, and the dead rise again—all these things are the display of the unique authority of the Creator. Similarly, today the incarnate Almighty God also does His work practically among man, comes face-to-face with man, expresses the truths to supply and guide man, and carries out a stage of judgment work beginning from the house of God. Those who have accepted the judgment and chastisement of God’s words gradually have true understanding and knowledge of God’s righteous disposition that cannot be offended, God’s essence of holiness, as well as God’s authority and sovereignty; meanwhile, they also see clearly the various satanic dispositions of mankind and their nature of resisting God. Their life dispositions are gradually transformed and they develop true obedience and reverence toward God. In the end, they will be qualified to be taken into God’s kingdom. In contrast, those who refuse to accept God’s work in the last days and whose corrupt dispositions are not purified will fall into disasters and be punished by God when God appears publicly. This just fulfills the prophecy of the Lord Jesus that He will do the work of reaping and winnowing, and separating the wheat from the tares, the sheep from the goats in the last days. Besides, while undergoing God’s work, we truly feel that God is silently doing all the work in order to save us; He never flaunts or testifies Himself, and never demands anything from us. He just expresses words to supply the needs of our lives. God’s humbleness and hiddenness, and God’s selflessness—these things that God has and is are His exclusive substances and are not possessed by any created being. From the work God does, the dispositions He reveals as well as what He is, we can ascertain that Almighty God is the returned Lord Jesus.”

Hearing the testimonies of the sister, I was deeply touched in my heart. I had never imagined that I could hear God’s voice in my life. I was really very lucky. The words Almighty God expressed are indeed very practical, from which I received the supply of life. I very much wanted to understand more truths from His words. So I started to investigate Almighty God’s work in the last days.

Being certain about the true way, I welcomed the Lord’s return with joy.

While contacting with the sisters of The Church of Almighty God, I truly felt that their living out is very pious and that their fellowships about the truth are enlightening and very practical. Every time I had questions, they would fellowship with me with love and patience. I could feel that their intention is to bring me before God and let me understand God’s will. Through a period of investigation, I gained some knowledge about the truth of God’s six-thousand-year management plan, the work of judgment done by God in the last days, the final destination of mankind, and other respects. I ascertained from my heart that these words are the expression of the truth, and that the work done by Almighty God is that of God Himself. This is because only God has such authority to cleanse and save man, and bring man to the beautiful destination in the end. I have been certain that Almighty God is the return of the Lord Jesus and is the only true almighty God who created heavens and earth and all things.

Afterword

In fact, I had met the brothers and sisters who preached the gospel of Almighty God several years before. But because of the negative propaganda in the church, I didn’t dare to seek or investigate at that time. Thank God for not forsaking me, but arranging for the sister of The Church of Almighty God to meet me and lead me to return to His side. However, what made me indignant was the pastors and elders who serve the Lord in churches. They not only do not lead the believers to seek and investigate the true way so as to bring before God the sheep belonging to Him, but even slander and condemn God’s appearance, and spread various kinds of rumors to defame, judge, and accuse God’s work in the last days, obstructing the believers from seeking and investigating the true way. At the moment, I couldn’t help remembering the chief priests, scribes, and Pharisees in service of Jehovah God in the temple. They expounded the Scripture to people in the temple teaching them to abide by the laws and doctrines, and said that they longed for the arrival of the Messiah. However, when the Messiah really came, their antichrist nature of hating the truth was revealed thoroughly. They themselves did not seek the truth, but even fabricated rumors relying on their notions and imaginations to slander and blaspheme the Lord Jesus, hindering the believers from accepting the salvation of the Lord Jesus. They became those who serve God but resist Him. It was just as the Lord Jesus said, “But woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for you shut up the kingdom of heaven against men: for you neither go in yourselves, neither suffer you them that are entering to go in” (Matthew 23:13).

Through what the pastors and elders have done, I also see God’s authority and sovereignty as well as His true love for mankind. I believe that no matter how they condemn and resist God, or how they hinder people from accepting the true way, God’s sheep can hear God’s voice, and all the people that belong to God will return to His throne in the end. Thank God for letting me keep up with His new work and attend the feast of the Lamb. Afterward, I witnessed Almighty God’s work in the last days to my husband, and brought him before Almighty God. In the future, I will continue to cooperate with God to bring before Him more people who are controlled by the rumors of the pastors and elders, letting them hear God’s voice and return to His house.
