    I am an elder sister with two faulty legs. Even when the weather is nice out, I have some trouble walking, but when the floodwaters were about to swallow me up, God allowed me to miraculously escape danger.

Sisters experience 

Yang Rui Yuci City, Shanxi Province

    One day, I suddenly heard that my father was expelled from the church. I was totally stunned at the time and couldn’t figure it out. In my heart, my father was the world’s greatest person. Even though he has a bad temper, he took great care of us sisters and never beat or scolded us. Despite our family’s struggles, he would not let us feel indignant no matter how much suffering he would have to endure. After our whole family accepted God’s work, my father was moreover proactive in fulfilling his duty, and often encouraged us to fulfill our own duties properly. Though my father was sometimes a little wild, as soon as there was duty to fulfill, regardless of the wind and rain or the extent of the difficulty, he would find a way to complete it. How could such a good person get expelled? If he cannot receive salvation, then who can? The situation filled my heart with resentment and conflict, because I felt the church did not treat my father fairly. Although I did not say it, I found it difficult to calm my heart and I agonized in torment.

Gospel Music "If I Were Not Saved by God" (Official Music Video) | The Church of Almighty God

If I were not saved by God,

 I would still be drifting in this world,

struggling hard and painfully in sin, 

every day gets bleak and hopeless.

If I were not saved by God, 

I’d still be crushed below the devil’s feet,

snared in sin and its enjoyments, 

ignorant of what my life would be.

    It was bitterly cold this past November in Northeast China, none of the snow that fell to the ground melted away, and many people who walked outside were so cold that they stuffed their hands into their armpits and walked along cautiously, bodies bent over. The other day in the early morning the winds were blowing from the northwest, when I, my brother-in-law and his wife and about a dozen brothers and sisters were sitting in my home on the warm kang (a heatable brick bed). Everyone had a copy of the Bible beside them and in their hands everyone was holding a copy of the book Judgment Begins With the House of God. Two sisters from The Church of Almighty God were fellowshiping on the truth concerning God’s three stages of work. The two sisters were drawing pictures of the three stages of work as they fellowshiped: “God’s work for the salvation of mankind can be divided into three stages, from the Age of Law to the Age of Grace and then to the Age of Kingdom. Each stage of work is newer and more improved and also more profound than the previous stage. The work done in the last days is the final stage of work, in which God expresses words to judge and cleanse man….” We nodded our heads as we listened, and our minds felt especially clear: Who would’ve thought that God’s management plan for the salvation of mankind would have so many mysteries! Besides God Himself, who else could speak of the mysteries of these three stages of God’s work so clearly? This truly is the work of God! We fellowshiped into the evening of the following day, and our whole group expressed a willingness to seek out and look into Almighty God’s work of the last days.

         Jin Yinglu was a devout pastor in Korean religious world. He thirsted for the truth and expected the return of the Lord Jesus all along. One day in 2013, he came across the words expressed by Almighty God in Chosun Ilbo, and immediately his heart was deeply touched by those words which are full of authority and power. In order to ascertain whether Almighty God is his long-expected Savior Jesus, he began to seek and investigate the work and word of Almighty God. … As one doubt after another was solved, Jin Yinglu was so excited and fell on his face: Almighty God is the Lord Jesus who has returned in the last days; He has long quietly come among man and done the work of “judgment beginning with the house of God”!

Heart's Voice of a Created Human - "I'm Willing to Perform My Duty Faithfully" (Music Video) | The Church of Almighty God

I

Dear practical God, You do love me,

lifting me from the dunghill, judging me with Your word.

I’ve been purified, now I live a life of happiness.

From the bottom of my heart, I felt You raised me up.

Ah … ah … ah … ah…. Dear practical God,

I’ll love You all my life, have my duty faithfully fulfilled.

God You never shun from me for my foolishness.

You always think of me, keeping me in Your heart.

Ignoring how I disobeyed, trying hard to save me.

Expecting I can soon be changed into a new one.

Ah … ah … ah … ah…. Dear practical God,

I’ll love You all my life, have my duty faithfully fulfilled.

A Hymn of God's Words "Results of God's Work in the Last Days Are Achieved Through the Word" | The Church of Almighty God

          The results of God's work in the last days are achieved through the word, through the word. The word helps man understand mysteries and God's work throughout history. It brings man enlightenment of the Holy Spirit, and knowledge of mysteries sealed for centuries. It explains the work of prophets and apostles and the rules when they carried it out. The word makes man know God's disposition, as well as his own rebelliousness and substance. Through these steps of work and all words spoken, man comes to know the work of the Spirit, and know the work of God's incarnate flesh, moreover the entirety of His disposition. Your knowledge of God's 6,000-year work was also attained through the word.

The Recital of Almighty God's Word "The Mystery of the Incarnation (4)" (Selected Passage) | The Church of Almighty God

       Almighty God says, "In the Age of Grace, Jesus did much of that work, such as healing sickness, casting out demons, laying His hands upon man to pray for man, and blessing man. However, to continue to do so would serve no purpose in the present day. The Holy Spirit worked in that way at the time, for it was the Age of Grace, and man was shown enough grace for enjoyment. Man did not have to pay any price and could receive grace as long as he had faith. All were treated very graciously.

The Recital of Almighty God's Word "The Mystery of the Incarnation (4)" (Selected Two) |The Church of Almighty God

Introduction

        Almighty God says, "God’s saving of man is not done directly through the means of the Spirit or as the Spirit, for His Spirit can neither be touched nor seen by man, and cannot be approached by man. If He tried to save man directly in the manner of the Spirit, man would be unable to receive His salvation. And if not for God putting on the outward form of a created man, they would be unable to receive this salvation. For man can in no way approach Him, much like how none could go near the cloud of Jehovah.

I

I was like a boat, adrift on the sea. You chose me, and to a haven You led me. Now in Your family, warmed by Your love, I am all at peace. You bless me, give Your words of judgment. Still how I fail to cherish Your grace. Often rebelling, somehow hurting Your heart. Yet You don't treat me by my sins but work for my salvation. When I'm distant, You call me back from danger. When I rebel, You hide Your face, darkness wrapping me. When I come back to You, You show mercy, smile to embrace. When Satan scourges me, You heal my wounds, warm my heart. When the devil hurts me, You're with me through the trial. Dawn will soon appear, and skies will shine blue as before, when You're there with me. Dawn will soon appear, and skies will shine blue as before, when You're there with me.

"The Substance of Christ Is Obedience to the Will of the Heavenly Father" (Selected Passage) | The Church of Almighty God

            Almighty God says, "The incarnate God is called Christ, and Christ is the flesh donned by the Spirit of God. This flesh is unlike any man that is of the flesh. This difference is because Christ is not of flesh and blood but is the incarnation of the Spirit. He has both a normal humanity and a complete divinity. His divinity is not possessed by any man. His normal humanity sustains all His normal activities in the flesh, while His divinity carries out the work of God Himself. Be it His humanity or divinity, both submit to the will of the heavenly Father.

The Recital of Almighty God's Word "Only He Who Experiences the Work of God Truly Believes in God" | The Church of Almighty God

          Almighty God says, "Today, God has new work. You may not accept these words, they may feel odd to you, but I advise you not to reveal your naturalness, for only those who truly hunger and thirst for righteousness before God can obtain the truth, and only those who are truly devout can be enlightened and guided by God. Nothing will come of seeking the truth through quarreling. Only by seeking calmly can we obtain results. When I say that 'Today, God has new work,' I am referring to God’s return to flesh. Perhaps you do not mind these words, perhaps you despise them, or perhaps they are of great interest to you. Whatever the case, I hope that all those who truly yearn for the appearance of God can face this fact and give it careful consideration. It is best not to jump to conclusions. This is the way that wise people should act.

Find the Meaning of Life - "For Whom Man Should Live" (Official Music Video) | The Church of Almighty God

I

Wasn’t clear for whom man should live. 

Now I’ve got the answer for it.

I used to live just for myself,

 seeking only status and fame.

Prayer to God full of fine words, 

yet holding to my own way in real life.

Faith based upon future and fate, 

I have no truth or reality.

Rituals and rules, confining my faith; 

I was left with nothing but emptiness.

Failing to live as a human, 

I don’t deserve God’s love for me.

Following in the Footsteps of God | Almighty God's Words "God’s Work and Man’s Practice" (Part One)

Introduction

        Almighty God says, "In every instance of God’s work are the visions that should be known by man, visions that are followed by God’s fitting requirements of man. Without these visions as the foundation, man would be simply incapable of practice, nor would man be able to follow God unwaveringly. If man does not know God or understand God’s will, then all that man does is in vain, and incapable of being approved by God. No matter how plentiful man’s gifts, still he is inseparable from God’s work and the guidance of God. No matter how good or many are the actions of man, still they cannot replace the work of God. And so, under no circumstance is the practice of man separable from the visions. Those who do not accept the new visions have no new practice. Their practice bears no relation to the truth because they abide by doctrine and keep to the dead law; they have no new visions at all, and as a result, they put nothing in the new age into practice. They have lost the visions, and in doing so they have also lost the work of the Holy Spirit, and have lost the truth."

The Hymn of God's Word "To Bear Witness for God Is Man's Duty" ——The Church of Almighty God

I

God bestows you with life; it's a gift you receive from Him. And so it's your duty to bear witness to Him. God gives you His glory, His life the Israelites didn't have. And so you must devote your life and youth to Him. You've got God's glory, so you must bear God's witness. It's ordained.

    I am Li Wenming, formerly a leading area co-worker of the Three Grades of Servants Church. In 1991, I was called and turned to the Lord. After that, inspired by the Lord’s love, I pursued very hard. In less than one year, I became a preacher and shepherded some nearby churches, whose members totaled over two hundred. At that time, my faith and love were especially great, and I had the working of the Holy Spirit when I preached. Whether it was in spring, summer, autumn, or winter, and whether it was windy or rainy, I did not stop going to the churches to support the brothers and sisters. I considered doing so as suffering for the Lord, so I believed that I would surely receive a reward from the Lord and be taken to heaven by the Lord when he came in the future. However, I had never thought that when the Lord really came to “take me,” I, ignorant and blind, failed to know God and completely shut him out. And I even exerted myself to the utmost to resist and condemn the only true Almighty God. My deeds brought me lasting remorse and nothing could make up for them.

I

Now in exultation, 

God’s holiness and righteousness

thrive through the universe, 

exalting among all mankind.

Cities of heaven laugh.

 The kingdoms of earth dance.

Who doesn’t jubilate? 

Who doesn’t shed tears?

Men do not quarrel nor come to blows.

They do not disgrace God’s name,

living in the light of God, 

being in peace with each other.

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 'cause 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!

Accept the Judgment in the Last Days and Be Raptured Before God | "My Dream of the Heavenly Kingdom" | The Church of Almighty God

       Song Ruiming is a pastor of a church in South Korea. As a devout follower of the Lord for many years, he has been keenly pursuing his faith and working for the Lord while waiting to be raised to the heavenly kingdom when the Lord returns. In recent years, he has been feeling very confused and powerless when seeing that the church doesn't have the Holy Spirit's work and become increasingly desolate. That was when he heard about a sect by the name of the Eastern Lightning emerging in China that witnesses the return of the Lord Jesus—Almighty God, who is doing the judgment work in the last days by expressing the truth. Thus Song Ruiming and preacher Cui Cheng'en traveled to China to study the Eastern Lightning, where they finally read the words of Almighty God, and found that all the words of Almighty God are the truth, the voice of God! Almighty God is most likely the returned Lord Jesus! However, as they were studying Almighty God's work in the last days, they were sold out by the religious elders who tipped off the police about them. The two were arrested and deported by the Chinese Communist police. Back in South Korea, Song Ruiming felt particularly painful and lost. He kept thinking of ways to contact the Church of Almighty God. Suddenly one day, he discovered the Korean website of the Church of Almighty God on the Internet, knowing that the Eastern Lightning had spread to South Korea and established the Church of Almighty God! Jubilant and thrilled, Song Ruiming led the brothers and sisters of his church to study the true way at the Church of Almighty God. They firmly believed that Almighty God is the returned Lord Jesus. They gladly accepted the work of Almighty God in the last days and found the path to the kingdom of heaven. He finally has the chance to realize his dream of the heavenly kingdom.
