In every passage of God's word, I always receive sustenance.

This is the living water of life which flows from God's throne. (Amen!)

The more I read, the more sweet I feel.

Yes, indeed. We're all truly blessed.

It's the confirmation of the Holy Spirit and our hearts. (Amen!)

And now, as we eat and drink the words of Almighty God,

our states become normal.

We have renewed faith and love,

and we've tasted the sweetness

and experienced the joy of the Holy Spirit's work.

Amen!

Just lovely!

This is God's great love bringing us all together. (Yes, it is.)

Thanks be to God.

In these days of fellowship on the words of Almighty God,

we've all grown considerably. (Yes, we have!)

We've sensed that Almighty God's word is truth and reality. (Amen!)

We've come further in these few months than in many years of faith.

It does seem so! Yes, indeed!

It's true.

We now understand aspects of the truth we hadn't before known.

We've enjoyed the Holy Spirit's work. (Praise God! Thanks be to God!)

Seems we've come face-to-face with God.

Yes. We are all truly blessed.

Yes, indeed. We're all truly blessed.

It's the confirmation of the Holy Spirit and our hearts. (Amen!)

I'm ever more brightened reading Almighty God's word.

It's a pity we received His word so late

and only now accept Almighty God.

Indeed! Yeah.

If we must blame someone, blame the religious pastors and elders.

They entrapped us with their lies and their fallacies.

Yes. They did!

But now,

we know that Almighty God's words are the expression of the Holy Spirit.

Amen!

They're the words of the Holy Spirit to the churches. (Amen!)

We've heard God's word and accepted

Almighty God as the second coming of the Lord, (Amen!)

the one and only God who created heavens, earth, and all things.

Amen. Thanks be to God.

One could say, we've been raptured before God's throne. (Yes.)

What say you? Am I right?

Yes!

We have been raptured before God's throne.

God has truly given us His grace. (Thanks be to God!)

Yes, in these few months, I've read much of Almighty God's word,

and I've come to understand truths which have long puzzled me.

I've resolved various notions and confusions I had within my own faith

and achieved a clearer understanding. (Amen.)

Almighty God's words are so vast. They've truly opened my eyes.

In every passage of God's word, I always receive sustenance.

This is the living water of life which flows from God's throne.

The more I read, the more sweet I feel.

Thanks be to God! That's great!

Let's hear another passage. (Alright! Yes!)

We haven't communicated the truth in the Bible in a way that's clear.

Our believers understand very little of the Lord's word

and aren't capable of discerning.

They have yet to keep their footing on the true way!

True!

We must continue to expound the truth in the Bible.

So we can ensure they'll follow the Lord's way

and not the Eastern Lightning.

This is how I see it:

If it's true that the Eastern Lightning has really arisen from God,

and if the words of Almighty God are the truth,

then more believers will follow the Eastern Lightning.

If that's so, then nothing will stop them.

However, if this really were the work of men,

they'd've vanished long ago, succumbing to the CCP's brutal suppression.

How is it that they've developed at such a rapid rate?

This is not what any human can do.

Recently, I keep wondering:

If the Eastern Lightning really does come from God,

but this seems impossible.

God's words and work can't exist outside the Bible!

Yet the Church of Almighty God has developed so quickly.

They've managed to stand firm despite such brutal suppression.

Only the work of God could account for it!

Has the Eastern Lightning arisen from God?

It's really hard to say.

Brother Hu is here.

Let's get going. (Let's go!)

Who would be coming here now?

Who's there?

Quiet.

Someone's there.

It might be someone from church. I'll go see.

It's Pastor Zhu and Elder Liu. Please come in.

It's Pastor Zhu and Elder Liu.

Oh …

Pastor Zhu and Elder Liu are here.

Brother Chen, Brother Lin, why are you not reading the Bible?

Why do you instead read the Eastern Lightning's books?

You're even watching their films?

It seems you've become their adherents.

How could you do that!

We must follow the Bible.

During sermons we should interpret the Bible. (Amen!)

Neglecting the Bible amounts to betrayal of the Lord.

Amen!

You all ought to confess your sins.

Yes, the prophecies are coming true.

The Lord could come at any moment to lift us up into the kingdom of heaven.

Amen!

You two should lead brothers and sisters to read the Bible

and watch for the Lord's coming.

Amen!

Only by reading the Bible do we keep the Lord's way.

When the Lord comes, we will be taken by Him into the kingdom of heaven.

Is this not so?

The Lord has come with new words.

If we continue reading the Bible, we'll be lagging behind. (You're right.)

There's no way more truths can be understood through the Bible

than through the word of Almighty God. (That's right.)

Brother Chen,

you read Almighty God's word in meetings

and commune about Almighty God's word too.

Why don't you read the Bible?

Tell me, what's going on here?

Elder Liu, Pastor Zhu, please have a seat.

Yes, have a seat, please.

How about we all have a seat?

Elder Liu, you can sit here. (Thank the Lord!)

Elder Liu, Pastor Zhu,

these years, the religious world has become so bleak.

So many have lost their faith and their love.

Attendance numbers are way down for meetings.

You are well aware of this situation. (Yes. That's true.)

It is only because of the bleak situation within the church

that we've sought the work of the Holy Spirit.

That's true.

And now,

we've finally found what the Holy Spirit says to the churches. (Amen! Indeed!)

We've heard the voice of God, found the footsteps of His work. (Amen!)

Shouldn't we be rejoicing? (Right.)

Why? Why do you still object? (Yes.)

You say that faith in the Lord must be in accord with the Bible,

and so we must interpret it.

All these years, have we not all been reading the Bible?

Have you not often interpreted the Bible for us?

For what? Where's the work of the Holy Spirit?

Not enjoyable at all. There's no work of the Holy Spirit.

It's true. There isn't.

Our lives have not received the least bit of provision.

We have become passive, and some have even left.

How could you not be aware of these facts?

If we still don't seek the work of God

or the words of the Holy Spirit to the churches,

we will be stuck here or starve to death.

Yes, that's right. Indeed.

And now,

as we eat and drink the words of Almighty God, our states become normal.

We have renewed faith and love,

and we've tasted the sweetness and experienced the joy of the Holy Spirit's work.

Reading the words of Almighty God, we feel the Lord's voice.

It is the voice of the returned Lord Jesus. (Amen!)

The more we read His words, the more we grasp truth.

We see more clearly how to move forward.

Seems now, we're on the right path of our faith. (Yes, indeed.)

Are you not happy to see how we have been blessed at last?

Are you not willing to welcome the Lord's appearance? (Yes. That's right.)

We can't continue to cling to the Bible.

We must accept God's words of the last days! (Yes.)

Read the words of Almighty God,

see if they are indeed the words of the returned Lord,

words of the Holy Spirit to the churches,

the expression of the truth, the way, and the life.

These things are most important.

If you become clear with regard to these things, you'll know who is speaking,

who it is that does the work of judgment in the last days. (Yes. That's right.)

Only God can do this work.

As pastor and elder, shouldn't you investigate like this?

That's right. You ought to be investigating!

Now when we read Almighty God's word in meetings,

we better understand the truth

and resolve some of our problems. (Right. That's right.)

We have ways of practice no matter what problems we face. (Yes.)

As I often host, to me, it is clear.

In the past, we all felt one meeting a week was too much.

Now it seems three times a week is not enough!

Yes. Right. Indeed.

We get so much out of every meeting.

Is this not the effect of the work of the Holy Spirit? (Amen!)

Doesn't this prove that what Almighty God expresses is the truth? (Amen!)

Yes, indeed. Yes, I agree.

That's right!

In present meetings,

the more we commune Almighty God's word, the more we understand truth.

To be honest, you interpreting the Bible never achieved that effect on me.

Why is it that as soon as we read Almighty God's words,

we start to grasp the truth and have a clear understanding?

Why is it that reading His words brings the supply of life,

understanding of God's will, knowledge of God and the work of the Holy Spirit?

Yes. Yeah, why?

This all proves that the words of Almighty God are the truth

and the voice of God!

Amen!

Come now, why not just try to seek the true way?

Come see for yourselves the words of Almighty God!

Yes, that's a good idea. Come see for yourselves.

Come see for yourselves.

Don't miss this opportunity!

Thank the Lord.

You've received renewed faith through reading the words of Almighty God.

You're all gaining joy from church life. That's a good thing!

Thanks be to God!

This is God's love.

We do not object to searching for the true way,

but there's a problem when you leave the name of Lord Jesus for Almighty God!

We can't stray from the Bible in our faith!

The Bible's words are all God's words.

Amen!

In reading it, we read the words of God. (Amen!)

I can't understand why you need to look for God's word elsewhere.

God's word and God's work are within the Bible.

You still haven't realized?

You've worked and preached for many years.

You must know God's words are all within the Bible. (Right.)

The word of God is nowhere else.

Doctrines that stray from the Bible are heresy. Don't you understand?

Why read the words of Almighty God?

Why is it exactly? Tell me.

Pastor Zhu, Elder Liu, let me ask you:

In your many years of interpreting the Bible,

why couldn't we enjoy the work of the Holy Spirit? (Yeah, why?)

Why didn't we receive the supply of life

through listening to your interpretations? (Right. That's a good point.)

Have you once considered any of this?

Why is it we've come to understand many truths

through reading the words of Almighty God?

Why do we receive the work of the Holy Spirit at meetings now? (Amen.)
