God’s Disposition Is Majesty, Wrath, and Intolerance of Man’s Offense—The Church of Almighty God

God’s Disposition Is Majesty, Wrath, and Intolerance of Man’s Offense

Yu Jie

Cangzhou City, Hebei Province


My name is Yujie, and I’m from Cangzhou City, Hebei Province. I was formerly a leader in the Third Redemption sect.
On August 22, 2002, Sister Xie, a senior leader of our sect, said to me, “Your sister-in-law has accepted the ‘Eastern Lightning’ and also led all the brothers and sisters under her into it.” “Has my sister-in-law accepted Almighty God? It can’t be!” I was shocked by the sudden news. Instigated by Sister Xie, I got my sister-in-law to my home under false pretense. Sister Xie said “kindly” to her, “Do you know? The ‘Eastern Lightning’ you believe in draws people in with petty favors and lures people with money and beautiful women. Once you join them, they’ll detain you and drug you. Then you’ll become a psycho. You’ll have no choice but to obey them and do whatever they instruct you to do. If you regret, they’ll kill you, and your family will end up being ruined…” Hearing this, my sister-in-law said, “I saw that the brothers and sisters who believe in Almighty God all behaved very well. No matter how many questions we asked them, they fellowshipped about them with us patiently. They are much better than us! They can’t do that kind of things!” Seeing her “remaining impenitent,” Sister Xie said very angrily, “Now they’re treating you well, because you’re useful to them and they’ll use you to draw others in. When you are not useful, they’ll fix you…” “Right, right,” I said. We frightened my sister-in-law like that for quite a while. Finally, she agreed to persuade the brothers and sisters to whom she had preached the gospel to come back and collect their books.

Christian Movie Trailer | Walk With God | "In the Deep of Winter" | God Is My Life and My Hope


      Her name is Xiao Li. She has believed in God for more than a decade. In the winter of 2012, she was arrested by the Chinese Communist police at a congregation. During interrogation, the police repeatedly coaxed, threatened, battered and tortured her in their attempts to seduce her to betray God by disclosing the whereabouts of the leaders and money of the church. Particularly in one frozen night when the temperature was twenty degrees below zero, she was forcibly stripped naked, drenched with icy water, electrically shocked on her genital, and force-fed mustard water by the police…. She had suffered brutal torture and unimaginable humiliation. During the interrogation, she felt hurt and humiliated. She desperately prayed to God time after time. The word of God gave her timely enlightenment and guidance. With the faith and strength she received from God's word, she overcame the savage torture and demonic ravage and gave wonderfully resounding witness. Like a winter plum blossom, she exhibited resilient vitality by proudly blooming amid severe adversity, emanating delightful redolence …

I Shed Tears of Regret Before God—The Church of Almighty God

    In 1993, I believed in the Lord Jesus (attending service in the Three-Self Church) in order that my husband’s disease could be cured. To pay his medical treatment, we were in deep debt. After his death, the heavy debt threw our family into poverty. So the Lord Jesus became the only reliance in my life. I pursued zealously in those years. In 1997, as jealousy, dispute, and scramble for power and position in the church intensified and I couldn’t bear it, I left the Three-Self Church and began to attend service in the “Way of Life Church.” My zeal and knowledge won me trust from Teacher Huang in the head church and the brothers and sisters, and I became a church leader. Soon, the number of believers in my church reached over one hundred. I took the church as my home and went around among the brothers and sisters preaching and sustaining them. However, I had never expected that I would become a latter-day Pharisee who hindered the spreading of Almighty God’s gospel of the last days.

    My name is Wangli. At the age of eleven, I believed in the Lord Jesus with my mother. After graduating from high school, I gave up the opportunity to go to a college or a seminary, and worked as an important co-worker in the Praise Church. I shepherded the churches in Haicheng, Yingkou, and Panjin in Liaoning Province, and in Qian’an, Funing, Qinglong, and other places in Hebei Province. And I had been invited to preach and attend the youth meetings by some religious groups in Beijing, Qinhuangdao (Hebei Province), and Ningbo (Zhejiang Province). During that time, I ran about busying myself with the church work all day, feeling very proud of myself.

    I was once a leader in the Pentecostal Church in Dalian Development Zone. On September 30, 2002, I accepted Almighty God’s new work of the last days. It was God’s great love that had saved me. Otherwise I would still be running on the path of resisting God and not repent. Thank Almighty God for His salvation to me, which made me have a fresh start and step on a new journey in life.

Love of God | Christian Song | "God's Substance and Disposition Have Always Been Open to Mankind"

I
Since God's first touch with mankind, 
He has been revealing to them His essence 
and what He is and has, 
without cease, constantly. 
Whether people through the ages can see or understand, 
God speaks and works to show His disposition and essence. 
Never concealed, never hidden, 
released without reservation, 
God's essence and disposition, 
His being and possession, 
are revealed as He works and engages with mankind.

seen in His will toward man, 
fulfilled in the lives of all people.

Yesterday I Resisted and Condemned God Frenziedly; Today I’m Willing to Do Service for God at Any Sacrifice—The Church of Almighty God


Yesterday I Resisted and Condemned God Frenziedly; Today I’m Willing to Do Service for God at Any Sacrifice


Xu Jinxin
Nanyang City, Henan Province

    I was formerly a leader of the “Stream of Recovery.” In 1998, I blindly believed the rumors and slanders about the work of the last days of Almighty God spread by the upper leaders, and preached wantonly in the church, “Now heresies are prevailing. The ‘Eastern Lightning’ is especially rampant. They preach that God has been incarnated and carried out His work in China. That’s a sheer ‘heresy’! Never listen to their message. If you don’t accept it after listening, they will cut off your ears or gouge out your eyes! …” Since then, whenever I heard any brother or sister receive foreign preachers, I went to disturb and scold them. Several brothers and sisters had wanted to investigate God’s new work, but because of my disturbance, they dared not listen anymore. Not only so, I took the lead to pray to curse the believers in Almighty God in the church, asking the Lord to have them tumble on the road or their bicycle types blow. In August 1999, a brother who preached God’s gospel of the last days gave me a book of God’s word. Without even looking at it, I put kerosene on it and burned it. I also instructed all the co-workers who received the book to do so. Moreover, I carried out an “accountability system” among the co-workers. Whoever had a “sheep” under his charge lost must take the blame for it. My frenzied resistance severely hindered the spreading of the gospel of the last days of Almighty God and offended God’s disposition, so God’s wrath came upon me once and again.

Seek the Bright Life - "I'm Resolved to Follow God" (Official Music Video) | The Church of Almighty God


I
Holding faith so long, now I see the light.
Experienced ups and downs, persecutions and hardships.
Happiness and sorrows, garment wet with tears.
Countless nights, stayed awake and prayed.
Rejected by the world; distanced by loved ones.
Wandering every day, having no resting place.
Freedom, just a sham, no human rights to share.

Almighty God’s Word Awakened My Heart

    My name is Liu Feng. I had been a deacon of a branch of the True Jesus Church.

    It is Almighty God’s great grace and mercy that I can have today. According to my past doings, I didn’t deserve God’s salvation but only His curse. I condemned and blasphemed God’s new work of the last days, and shadowed and spied on its preachers, attempting to stop the spreading of Almighty God’s gospel and put all those preachers to death. However, God didn’t treat me according to my evils but saved me to the utmost. So that, I, who had bitterly struggled in evils, returned to God’s family at last.

    In 1997, our family believed in the Lord Jesus (The Great Light Church) due to my mother’s sickness. My mother got healed miraculously after that. Thereafter, encouraged by the love of the Lord, we went here and there preaching the gospel, giving witness to the wonderful deeds of the Lord Jesus. It gave a good result. And I, out of fervent pursuit, was chosen as a church deacon later and began to go around the churches preaching and shepherding.

    I had been a co-worker of the “Praise Church.” Since I believed in the Lord in 1988, I had believed that by listening to the leaders, I would surely be approved by God and go to heaven in the future, as they knew more things than others and had a rich knowledge of the Bible. So, whatever the upper leaders instructed me to do, I would listen to and obey it without the slightest negligence. In 1996, the leader said, “Now, there is a sect called the ‘Eastern Lightning,’ and it is very rampant. Anyone who has contact with its followers will be captivated. Now many people have turned to them. In future, we mustn’t receive any strangers…” Since then, I conveyed the leader’s “order” faithfully and took the lead to carry it out in the church. An unfamiliar sister came to preach God’s work of the last days to me many times, and each time she came, she helped me with the field work. Yet I either avoided her or said harsh words to insult her. But that didn’t stop her from coming to preach to me persistently. Once, when we were having a meeting, she came again. I abused her before all others, “Get away, you devil! I bind Satan in the name of the Lord!” With that, I pushed and shoved her out of the door together with several other believers, and I threw her bike in a deep puddle by the roadside. In the end, she picked it up with the help of the unbelievers. Just in that way, with the leader’s instruction “don’t receive strangers” kept in my mind, I shut the door on God’s salvation of the last days time and time again. However, what happened later greatly exceeded my expectation.

    After I failed the college entrance examination in 1976, I took the way of serving the Lord, and I also made a promise to the Lord: I want to be a “Nazarite” and serve God all my life. From then on, I devoted myself wholeheartedly to the church and soon became an important co-worker in the “Justification by Faith Church.” At that time, the church presented a reviving aspect. The brothers and sisters loved each other, and if anyone was in difficulty, everyone went to help. All the co-workers were of one heart and eager to work for the Lord, and the number of the believers in the church kept increasing. The spreading of the Lord’s gospel reached an unprecedented grand state. Seeing this, I was very glad, and at the same time I waited for the Lord Jesus’ second coming hopefully.
