Now I inform you of one matter:
Li Mo is an important co-worker and also specially trained by our church.
To my surprise, even with such high quality and intelligence,
she accepted the “Eastern Lightning.”
Huh?
Really? What happened?
How could it be?
It can’t be true!
Li Mo has believed in the Lord for years, and she is a preacher.
How could she be deceived by the “Eastern Lightning”?
Yeah. That’s really incredible!
She has high quality and intelligence;
how could she betray the Lord so easily?
Can the elder’s words be false?
It seems that this “Eastern Lightning” is indeed not simple,
even Li Mo could be deceived.
We must be careful! (Yes.)
Right. Li Mo has accepted the “Eastern Lightning.”
Now she’s a danger.
We can’t receive her from now on.
Li Mo could accept the “Eastern Lightning”; it’s not simple.
It seems that the “Eastern Lightning” is not an ordinary sect.
We should be on our guard!
I’ve believed in the Lord for a short time,
but it’s impossible for me to be deceived in a few days.
She is converted so quickly!
Right. Even Li Mo who is full of quality is deceived.
This “Eastern Lightning” is not simple! (Yes.)
Yes, it’s not simple!
Yes, it’s really not simple! (Yes.)
Okay, be quiet.
Li Mo not only betrays the Lord but also begins to deceive others now.
As for such apostasy, what shall we do?
After all, Li Mo has worked for the Lord for years.
We’d better try our best to save her!
She’s worked for years but could still betray the Lord.
Such a person should be expelled!
I agree. She should be expelled.
Huh? No, please give her a chance!
Chance, what chance?
Let’s save her first!
If she is really incorrigible, it won’t be too late to expel her.
As a preacher who believed for years,
she can still betray the Lord and even dares to deceive others.
It’s lenient to expel her!
I’ll inform the co-workers of the churches Li Mo is in charge of,
and ask them to watch her.
We can never allow her to come back to the churches to deceive others.
Now quickly print and give out these materials to the brothers and sisters.
Tell them to watch out and not to listen to any strangers’ preaching.
And ask them to curse those who preach Almighty God’s gospel in their prayer.
Li Mo has no conscience.
Hey, sisters!
Bah!
Betrayer!
Yeah, I’m coming.
Hey, Sister Li. (Mm.)
Come in.
Sister Gu is also here.
There you are. Please sit down.
Sister Li, is anything wrong?
Why don’t you attend the Bible study?
Sister Li. You’re just in time.
We want to ask you something.
Did you hear of that?
Elder Wang has embezzled the church offerings,
at least over two hundred thousand yuan.
As an elder, he could do that. He is simply more hateful than Judas.
He will be cursed.
He still asked us to attend the Bible study.
We don’t want to attend it with such a person.
We can’t accept such a false shepherd to shepherd the church.
He is an evil servant.
Sister Li, what do you think of this matter?
Is it true?
Many people are discussing it.
If it’s really like that, it’s serious.
He is a Judas and he is sinning.
It’s serious to embezzle so much money.
Anyhow, the One we believe in is the Lord, not a certain man.
We should continue to attend the Bible study.
And don’t worry. We’ll investigate this matter.
If it’s true, we’ll expose and reject him.
We believe that the Lord is righteous.
Recently there are fewer and fewer believers in the church.
Some are busy working and earning money,
and some would rather play mahjong or chat than attend meetings.
The main reason is that many people are deceived by the “Eastern Lightning.”
Do you know where there are the most people who are deceived?
The churches in Handan City, I think.
The co-workers and preachers there
have led many believers to believe in the “Eastern Lightning.”
Yes!
The churches there are the most severely deceived by the “Eastern Lightning.”
So we have to take some measures.
Otherwise, the believers will be all deceived.
Then what should we do?
If the fruits we bore after years of hard work
are taken away by the “Eastern Lightning,”
won’t we suffer a great loss?
When I tried to retrieve them,
they all said that the people of the “Eastern Lightning” preached well.
Right, their preaching is indeed high.
I also heard of that.
They specially go to every church to snatch people.
Our believers are mainly drawn to their church.
You should keep a good lookout recently.
Tell the brothers and sisters not to receive any strangers.
Li Mo, Handan is your hometown. Go home as soon as possible.
Investigate the situation there
and draw back those deceived brothers and sisters.
Mm. Okay, I’ll go back as soon as I can.
In our last co-worker meeting,
I found that Sister Liu and Brother Ma didn’t like Elder Wang’s preaching.
And in this meeting,
I found that Brother Ma seemed to intentionally speak words against Elder Wang.
Maybe you haven’t known yet.
They’re deeply biased against Elder Wang.
They disclosed to the brothers and sisters
that Elder Wang embezzled the church offerings,
and he also said many bad words about them.
Now there’s discord in the church.
Some stand on Elder Wang’s side,
and some are willing to follow Brother Ma and Sister Liu.
Due to this matter, many people become cold in faith and want to withdraw.
I also heard about it. Aren’t they dividing the church?
Aye! We have no right to interfere in the things of the upper co-workers.
May the Lord heal these rifts.
After you go back, you must try to bring Sister Qi over.
The brothers and sisters trust her so much,
but she was taken away by the “Eastern Lightning.”
After you go back, try to talk more about the Bible with her patiently. (Mm.)
Tell her not to be obstinate.
As long as she’s willing to change her mind,
the three of us can sustain the church with one accord.
Yeah, I agree. (Mm.)
The merciful heavenly Father, the Lord Jesus who loves us.
You’re our Savior. I thank and praise You.
O Lord, Your word is our spiritual food and manna.
You are a lamp to our feet and a light to our path.
To repay the Lord Jesus’ holy love on the cross,
I’m willing to offer up myself
to safeguard the Lord’s way and protect the flock.
O Lord, now many false Christs, false prophets, and heresies all come out,
and they’ve deceived many lambs.
May the Lord bind and curse all devils and Satans and care for Your lambs.
O Lord, may You lead me by Your hand
to bring back those deceived lambs in the churches.
May the Lord be with me.
May such thankful prayer be in the holy name of my Lord Jesus Christ. Amen!
Amen!
After having left my hometown for four years, I finally took the train back.
Daughter, it’s your favorite.
Eat more. (Mm.)
Dad, mom, eat some.
Yeah! Well, okay, you eat it.
Have more.
You haven’t been home for four years.
We always talk about you and hope that you can come back.
To our surprise, you’re really back.
Mom, I’ve been wanting to come back to see you.
However, there is too much work in the church, and so I can’t get away.
Momo, do you know? We heard great news. (Yes!)
The Lord Jesus we’ve been expecting has come back!
So, we want to tell you earlier.
The Lord Jesus has come back?
Dad, mom, are you deceived by the “Eastern Lightning”?
Momo, calm down. Listen to me.
At the beginning, we didn’t believe either.
Later, the brothers and sisters read to us many words of Almighty God,
and then we understood that this is indeed the true way.
Momo, later, read God’s word and you’ll know.
Don’t condemn blindly, okay?
Dad, mom. Why are you so muddle-headed?
This is apostasy and betraying the Lord Jesus.
Momo, we believers in the Lord should watch our tongue.
Don’t condemn blindly!
You haven’t heard it yet!
Don’t be influenced by those rumors outside.
Right! We have been expecting the Lord Jesus to return to take us.
However, when the Lord really comes back, why do you show such an attitude?
Mom, stop it. I don’t wanna listen!
The Lord Jesus has given us so much grace, so we can’t betray Him.
I’ll hold fast to the Lord’s way. I won’t be deceived by you!
Momo, listen to me. (No!)
Momo. (I don’t wanna listen.)
Listen to me!
Momo.
I don’t wanna listen.
Xiaomo, Xiaomo, Xiaomo, open the door. Let us tell you in detail.
I don’t wanna listen! Leave me alone!
Momo, open the door.
(sigh)
Lord Jesus, Abba Father. In the time of danger, I pray to You.
I’ll forever lift up the cross and follow the Lord to walk the way of the cross.
O Lord. Please listen to my prayer and give me wisdom.
Dear Lord. I’ve never expected that
my parents would apostatize, and be deceived by the “Eastern Lightning.”
O Lord! May You seal my heart, shut my ears, and keep me from leaving You.
I’m willing to be Your faithful servant. I swear not to betray You.
O Lord, I’m willing to bind all devils and Satans
in the name of my Lord Jesus Christ.
O Lord, please drive away the believers in the “Eastern Lightning”
and save back the deceived brothers and sisters and my parents.
May the Lord forgive my parents’ sin.
I’m willing to bind all devils and Satans in the name of my Lord Jesus Christ.
May the Lord send angels and armies of heaven to pitch a camp around my house.
May the above prayer be in the name of my Lord Jesus Christ. Amen!
Uncle, auntie.
Xiaoqi is here.
Come, come in for a rest. Well, have a seat.
I heard that Xiaomo is back. (Yes.)
I came to see her.
Yeah, she’s just come back.
Pour some water for Xiaoqi.
Xiaomo, your Sister Qi is here to see you.
Sister Qi.
Come, drink some water.
Okay, thanks!
Sister Qi.
Oh! I was just going to see you!
I haven’t seen you for years, and I missed you so much. Well, have a seat, both of you. (Yes, have a seat.)
How are you now?
Fine. I miss you too.
You see, after hearing that you’ve been back, I came quickly.
Sister Qi. You led many brothers and sisters to believe in Almighty God, right?
Ah, I came just to talk with you about it.
Sister Qi, you’re the main preacher of our church.
How can you lead the brothers and sisters to betray the Lord?
What did you promise to the Lord at that time?
Come.
Xiaomo, take it easy. Please listen to me.
Sister Qi, you all say that the Lord has come back.
Where is He? Who has seen Him?
Momo, I ask you a question first.
Do we believe the Lord Jesus is the true God because of seeing Him?
Now among so many believers in Jesus,
no one believes in Him because of seeing His flesh, right?
The Bible says,
Because we’ve received peace, grace, and blessing in believing in the Lord,
we are certain that Jesus is the true God.
Besides, the Bible records that the Lord’s word is the truth,
so we believe that Jesus is the Lord, right?
Right! Since you all believe that the Lord Jesus has come back,
do you have any evidence?
Of course we have. Auntie.
We believe the Lord has come back
according to the word God expresses in the end time.
From God’s word and utterance,
we recognize that Almighty God is Jesus who has returned in the flesh.
Yes, we’re not believing groundlessly.
The Lord Jesus prophesied that He would return in the end time.
Actually, the Lord’s returning in the end time is to save man.
He will surely bring the work He wants to do,
express the words He wants to say, and reveal His disposition. (Mm.)
From God’s work, words, and disposition,
we can see that He has God’s substance and God’s being.
So, we can recognize that He is the returned Lord Jesus.
Momo, you haven’t read the words God expresses in the end time,
so don’t condemn it blindly.
Well, let us read to you a passage of words God expresses in the end time
and you discern it yourself.
We can’t force you to accept (Right.)
but only hope you can make an investigation before drawing a conclusion.
I don’t wanna listen.
Words are but wind; seeing is believing.
I haven’t seen the Lord comes,
so I won’t believe no matter how well you fellowship.
Momo, if we circumscribe the Lord’s returning with our notions,
you won’t know Him even if you see Him with your own eyes.
Think it over.
Isn’t it the believers in God who crucified the Lord Jesus?
Yes, so what?
In retrospect:
At that time many Jews and Pharisees waited for Messiah every day;
however, when Messiah really came, they didn’t know nor believe in Him.
They couldn’t recognize that Messiah is Jesus
and they even condemned and blasphemed Him.
Didn’t they still crucify Jesus?
Nevertheless, those Gentiles had never seen Jesus’ flesh,
but they believed in and followed Jesus
through listening to Jesus’ way from others.
Right, Momo. Without a heart of seeking,
even if one sees God with his own eyes, he won’t know Him. (Yes.)
And he will condemn God.
Momo, let’s read a passage of God’s words together.
We all know that the Bible prophesied:
In the end time, God will open the scroll and break the seven seals.
The Holy Spirit will speak to the churches and supply man all the truths.
God will reward the good and punish the evil; God will decide man’s outcome.
In the end time, God will express the mysteries and truths we have never heard,
do the work of judging man,
and bring those who are purified by His word into the pleasant destination.
Almighty God expresses millions of words
and discloses all the mysteries in the Bible.
He tells us God’s six-thousand-year management plan,
the inside truth of God’s three stages of works, and the mystery of incarnation.
Besides, He exposes and dissects the root of corrupt mankind’s sinning
and shows us the way of having our disposition transformed,
so that those who truly follow Him can thoroughly break free
from the fallen life of committing sins in the day and confessing them at night.
With such work and such words, nobody can achieve.
From that we can completely confirm that
this is the true way and the appearing of the true God.
Sister Qi, since you all say that the Lord has come back,
let me ask you: In the past, we were great in faith and very strong in spirit.
Even though we were very busy and had many things to handle,
we didn’t forget the Lord.
Moreover, every time we had a meeting, we could receive some light.
Now the co-workers raise envy and strife among themselves,
there are divisions in the churches,
and many believers become passive and weak and grow cold in faith.
Doesn’t the Lord know these?
Why are the churches still so desolate after the Lord comes?
What you asked is the question that had been puzzling me for years.
Now through reading Almighty God’s words,
I understand the real reason why the churches are desolate.
Xiaomo, you can read this passage of God’s words,
Xiaomo, from God’s words, we can see:
Now the whole religious world is disordered and desolate,
because the Holy Spirit has already stopped working
in the churches of the Age of the Grace
and started to do the work of the Age of the Kingdom.
Only the God of today is the spring of living water.
Only those who follow the working of the Holy Spirit can have strength.
Right, Momo. As a matter of fact,
you know better about the situation of the churches than me.
After investigating many times, your dad and I firmly believe
that Almighty God is the returned Lord Jesus from God’s word.
Xiaomo, can you accept our fellowship?
Mm, but I still have some questions.
OK, tell me…
O Lord Jesus, You’ve really come back! (Amen!)
This is Your word. (Amen!)
I’m too corrupt.
Just like the Pharisees of that time,
I began to judge, resist, and condemn You before hearing Your gospel,
and said that Your work is a heresy and is a deception.
O Lord, I’m too arrogant and too foolish and ignorant. (Amen!)
O Lord! I’ve done so many things that resist You,
but You didn’t treat me according to my corruption. (Amen!)
You preached the gospel to me through the sister, (Amen!)
and let me hear Your voice. (Amen!)
O Lord! I’m unworthy of Your love (Amen!)
and unworthy of Your selection. (Amen!)
I deserve death! I’m the foremost of sinners who resist You.
O Lord! I’m willing to repent. (Amen!)
I’ll bring more brothers and sisters before You, (Amen!)
so that they can accept Your gospel (Amen!)
and receive the supply of Your word. (Amen!)
Brothers, let’s pray. (Mm. Okay.)
O Lord Jesus! Thank You for giving us such wonderful food.
May You cleanse the dishes on the table.
O Lord! The “Eastern Lightning” comes to steal sheep.
We should absolutely be faithful to the Lord
and protect the flock,
so as not to fail the Lord’s commission to us.
The Lord’s holy name is worthy of praise.
We pray in the holy name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen. (Amen.)
Have a seat. (Okay.)
Well, let’s start. Help yourselves.
Okay, have a drumstick.
Elder Wang, how’s the decor of your apartment going?
Finished. Now it only needs a little time to air out. (Oh.)
After moving in, I’ll treat you.
Come to my apartment for a party. (Okay. All right. We will…)
I heard that Elder Wang’s apartment is over 200 square meters.
Where did you buy it?
Yinghuang Manor.
Oh, Yinghuang Manor! The apartments there are top-grade. (Mm.)
Wow, you might buy it for several hundred thousand yuan, right?
Buy? Don’t you know that
Elder Wang has been working for the Lord for years. He isn’t a businessman.
How could he have money to buy it?
One of his relatives gave it to him.
Relative?
Yeah, a relative. This is the Lord’s grace. The Lord’s grace.
Okay. Let’s get to the point,
which is how to guard against the “Eastern Lightning” from stealing the sheep.
Mm.
Recently the “Eastern Lightning” is especially rampant.
Other sects also say that
many believers are taken away by the “Eastern Lightning.”
And even some important co-workers of the churches
and the senior believers who have believed in the Lord for years
and the brothers and sisters who pursue well have been deceived.
It seems that the situation is very serious.
Now it’s not only this problem.
The brothers and sisters become weak in faith and don’t attend meetings.
Additionally, the “Eastern Lightning” meddle in,
and thus the situation of the churches gets worse and worse.
Yes, we’re also in the same situation. (sigh)
The brothers and sisters are weak. There are fewer and fewer believers.
We must take good care of the churches,
otherwise the brothers and sisters will be deceived. (Mm.)
We must tell the brothers and sisters not to receive strangers privately.
If they claim to be believers in Jesus, we can even less receive them.
Even if they are our relatives,
we can’t bring them into the churches without permission.
It must be permitted by the elder.
Whoever refuses to listen should be expelled.
Tell the brothers and sisters that doing so is for their own good,
because they are so small in life and are unable to discern,
and they’ll be deceived.
Elder Wang, I have a problem.
Now except talking about how to resist the “Eastern Lightning,”
I have no more to say.
I feel dry in giving messages.
After completing a word, I don’t know what to follow.
The co-workers also asked me what to say in preaching.
I didn’t know how to answer them.
Then I told them directly, “Read the Bible.”
Er, if it continues like this, we’ll lose all the believers of the church.
What should we do?
We need to have faith. Pray more.
If it still doesn’t work, fast and pray.
(sigh) To recover the brothers and sisters’ faith,
we prayed in turn around the clock,
and fasted and prayed on 21st.
We thought we could revive the church through it.
Unexpectedly, the brothers and sisters told me
when it was the day to fast,
they felt increasingly hungry and couldn’t hold on. (sigh)
Hello? Oh, Sister Zhang. Well, anything wrong?
What? How do you know it?
Are you sure?
Mm.
Okay, I got it.
What’s going on? Anything wrong?
Li Mo believes in the “Eastern Lightning.”
Hmm? What?
Sister Zhang called just now.
She said that Li Mo told her many things about the “Eastern Lightning.”
Li Mo said that the Lord has returned,
and she acknowledged believing in the “Eastern Lightning.”
It’s really incredible.
She has such a firm foundation, but she is deceived by the “Eastern Lightning.”
Even Li Mo has been deceived.
It seems that this “Eastern Lightning” is not simple.
Yes. The brothers and sisters all trust Li Mo
and like to listen to her preaching.
If she begins to deceive people, most brothers and sisters will be taken away.
I know. We must take measures immediately.
You’re right. Right.
What should we say to the brothers and sisters?
Yes.
Tell them that … the “Eastern Lightning” lures people with money and beauty.
How about saying so?
Hmm … Li Mo was enticed by a young man from the “Eastern Lightning”;
she was photoed and thus is controlled.
Good! Just say so.
The government also says like this.
But the government’s words have no factual foundation.
As a believer in the Lord,
we can’t make groundless judgment and bear a false testimony.
If you don’t say so, our sheep will be all stolen.
Now the key point is to protect the flock.
At this … this crucial moment, don’t split hairs.
Mm. To protect the flock, we have no choice.
Right. Now fewer and fewer people attend meetings.
We can’t let the “Eastern Lightning” snatch away the sheep anymore.
Let’s do it first.
Never mind whether it is a fact. Just say it in the churches. (OK!)
(sigh)
Let’s eat more. Eat more. Eat, eat.
It is confirmed
that Li Mo has been completely deceived by the “Eastern Lightning.”
I could never have dreamt of it.
Is there really no hope?
(sigh)
I’ve never thought of that.
Now that this has happened, we must take measures at once.
Li Mo is very influential.
We can’t let her take away the brothers and sisters.
Elder, what should we do?
We must defend the true way and keep a good watch over the Lord’s flock. Right?
Yes. The “Eastern Lightning” lures people with money and beauty.
So Li Mo is enticed by a young man from the “Eastern Lightning.”
She was photoed and thus is under control.
Is it true?
Really? Li Mo isn’t that kind of person.
We’ve been in touch for many years. We all know her.
It’s probably not good to say so.
Yes. “Enticed by a young man.”
If the brothers and sisters hear it, they’ll say that we’re spreading rumors.
How could it be spreading rumors?
If you don’t say this, believers will be all taken away; will you be happy then?
Elder, let’s try to save Li Mo.
She’s irredeemable. She has to be expelled.
Expelled?
This is the newest material for guarding against the heresy,
the “Eastern Lightning.”
Take a look.
Now it’s dangerous to contact her.
After we go to the churches, we just tell the brothers and sisters
that Li Mo has been enticed by a man from the “Eastern Lightning.”
It’ll be of no effect if we don’t put it seriously.
The “Eastern Lightning”
often lures people into submission with beauty and money.
Those who refuse will be tortured cruelly.
For example, they will break their legs, gouge out their eyes,
and cut off their ears.

and National Committee
of Three-Self Patriotic Movement of the Protestant Churches in China
Elder, the government said these things.
It even cracks down on our house churches and spread rumors about us.
Are these words believable?
Right. In fact it is without foundation.
Isn’t it foundation?
We don’t care whether the government’s words are rumors.
As long as they are beneficial to us, we can use them.
When it comes to the matter about the “Eastern Lightning,”
we should stand on the government’s side.
If we don’t say so, the brothers and sisters
will follow Li Mo to believe in the “Eastern Lightning.”
We do this for the sake of protecting the flock.
If we lose them, how can we explain that to the Lord?
We just say what the government says.
Then won’t everyone believe it?
Humph! Even if it is false, we can make it true.
How dare she take our people! Not so easy.
But the Bible says,
We can’t say causally what we didn’t see.
Otherwise, we’ll be judged by the Lord.
The Lord won’t remember it, and we do this to protect the flock.
Besides, if there is a judgment, let me be judged.
You just go to the churches and convey it to the brothers and sisters.
I think it’s not good to say so.
Li Mo is still unmarried now and she worked in the church all along.
In these years, don’t we know about her personality?
Even though she is deceived by the “Eastern Lightning,”
we can’t humiliate her like this!
You even don’t listen to the elder?
Li Mo has apostatized.
The church declares: Expel Li Mo!
From now on, no one is allowed to receive this betrayer.
Otherwise, they will have a part in her evil!
If she dares come back to deceive others, don’t be easy on her.
If you catch her, beat her hard!
Sister Wang.
You have apostatized. You’re not a member of our church anymore. Go!
What do you want?
Sister, I want to preach the Lord Jesus—
I don’t wanna listen. Go away!
Hey, sister. We’re both believers in God.
Let’s sit down and have a good talk.
Sister, the Lord Jesus has truly returned!
Please listen to God’s utterance!
You come to preach the “Eastern Lightning” again. What cheek!
Although Elder Wang and some co-workers
kept sealing off the churches,
most of the brothers and sisters in the former churches I was in charge of
accepted God’s end-time work.
It made me see that God’s end-time work can’t be hindered by any hostile force.
The gospel work here has almost been fully spread.
But the work in Zhangjiakou needs our cooperation.
I’m willing to go there to preach the gospel.
OK, let’s go there together! (OK!)
What’s wrong? What makes you so angry?
Come. Have some water and cool down.
I just got back from Sister Lu’s.
She said that recently several believers in Almighty God came here
and they went to the churches to snatch people.
I can’t let them snatch my sheep away.
Have you heard what they preached?
I don’t care what they preached!
All those who preach that the Lord has returned are heresies!
No. I have to tell those who are in charge of the churches again.
Hello, Sister Hu.
Recently those who preach the “Eastern Lightning” are active here.
Tell all the believers that they can never receive them.
Drive and curse them away if you see them.
If they don’t go, call 110. We can never be easy on them!
Whoever dares to receive the believers in Almighty God
will be expelled from the church!
Hello, is that Sister Wang?
Recently those who preach the “Eastern Lightning” are active here.
Tell all the believers that they can never receive them.
If you see them, just drive them away.
Is this serious? Should you be angry? (Yes!)
Hello, is that Sister Feng?
Hello, Sister Feng.
Recently those who preach the “Eastern Lightning” are active here.
Tell all the believers that they can never receive them.
Li Mo, how are things going with your preaching in that church these days?
I went to several villages.
There the preacher Wang Shuqin seals off the churches very tightly.
Besides, she makes many rumors to frighten the brothers and sisters
and condemns God’s work.
She says that we are a gang and that we are deceivers.
She tells the brothers and sisters not to receive any of us.
I barely got there and saw the brothers and sisters of their church.
After I entered the room, they drove me out before I could finish my words.
An old brother even tried to hit me with a stick.
Luckily I dodged in time.
Oh! This is the same situation as those villages I went to.
They regarded me as their enemy when seeing me.
They didn’t allow me to speak at all.
Yes, God’s work is so difficult!
The gospel work has barely begun to spread here
when these religious preachers fabricate rumors,
bind the brothers and sisters and seal off the churches.
Deceived by the preachers, they have an ill attitude toward us.
This is unavoidable.
Through these difficulties,
God perfects our will to suffer and our faith in God.
Since we have difficulties, we should pray to God and rely on God more.
I believe that God will lead us
to bring before Him the brothers and sisters who truly believe in God.
We can’t lose heart.
Mm, right! Try our best!
O Almighty God,
we’re willing to commit the brothers and sisters here who truly believe in You
into Your hand. (Amen!)
May You greatly move their heart. (Amen!)
Thus,
they can break free from the bondage of the religious leaders earlier, (Amen!)
know Your work, and accept Your salvation. (Amen!)
May God lead us and give us wisdom and power, (Amen!)
so that we can testify God’s gospel to the brothers and sisters
and thus they can recognize God’s voice… (Amen!)
Tomorrow I’ll go see Wang Shuqin
and fellowship with her about God’s end-time work.
Hope that she will accept God’s gospel, no longer resist God,
and bring the brothers and sisters before God.
Who’s that?
Is this Sister Wang’s home?
Who are you?
Sister, I am also a believer in God. Let’s have a talk!
Oh! You are the liar who preaches the “Eastern Lightning.”
These days, you’ve been snatching people here, right?
Sister, don’t be angry.
Let’s quiet our heart and have a fellowship.
You’re really cheeky, actually coming here to deceive me.
Hey! Sister!
Go away now! Go away quickly!
I tell you:
If you dare come again to deceive and snatch, I’ll break your legs.
Go away!
Seeing that these people,
who kept on saying that they would walk in the Lord’s way,
didn’t have a heart to investigate or seek at all in the face of the true way,
I was heavy-hearted.
However, I didn’t want to give up.
I decided to go to another Catholic’s to preach the gospel.
Xiaoli, we just feel that if we believe in Almighty God,
it means that we betray the Lord.
Auntie, it’s not like that.
Almighty God and the Lord we believe in are one God;
it’s just that Their names are different.
You see, when God returns in the flesh in the end time,
what He does is the work of reaping and clearing the threshing floor.
It’s different from the work the Lord Jesus did in the Age of the Grace.
So the name has to be changed.
This is because God’s name changes with God’s work.
Just like in the Age of the Law, God was called “Jehovah”;
in the Age of the Grace, “Jesus,” and today, “Almighty God.”
Just as the prophecy in Revelation goes,
Therefore, today we believe in Almighty God,
which means that we’ve followed God’s new work instead of betraying God.
Mm!
Who’s that?
Oh! Leader Liu is here.
Hey, Leader Liu, listen to me.
Who’s she? What’s she doing?
Is she preaching Almighty God?
Take it easy. Please sit down and listen.
This girl preaches quite well.
Didn’t I tell you not to receive strangers?
Why don’t you listen?
You lead a devil into your home.
Aren’t you afraid of being deceived?
Hey, Leader Liu. Listen to me.
Kick her out now.
As soon as I heard that a stranger came to your home, I rushed over.
Her belief is different from ours.
If you believe in what she preaches to you,
we’ll expel you and ask the other church members to reject you!
Sister, don’t be angry. Listen to me first.
Get out now!
Bastard, running everywhere. Get out!
Sister, you’ve believed in the Lord for years
and looked forward to the Lord Jesus’ coming again.
Now the Lord Jesus has already returned!
We preach the gospel without any purpose
but to tell you the news of the Lord Jesus’ returning.
Please make an investigation.
Get out! If not, I’ll beat you!
Sister, listen to me…
Enough already.
Out! Out! Still speaking?
Sister, please make an investigation!
Do you want a beating?
You want a beating … want a beating?
Today, I went to have a meeting with a couple who just accepted God’s new work.
Leader Xiao of their church found out about it.
The two new believers hid me right away.
Leader Xiao came with some people but they didn’t see me,
and he said many threatening words.
That brother’s uncle even ran after him with a knife,
forcing him to give up the true way.
He also said that if he saw strangers come to the brother’s home,
he would beat them.
So, I’m considering that from now on I’ll go on the last bus
and enter the village to water them after the day gets dark.
Then I’ll stay there overnight and come back before the day breaks.
We left our hometown and came here
just to preach God’s end-time gospel to them
and bring them before God.
Why do they abuse and slander us and even beat us?
I’ve never suffered like this since I was born.
I can hardly believe that
those preachers who usually teach others to practice love in a gentle manner
are so cruel.
They resist God’s work by every possible means
and hinder us from preaching the gospel.
Sister, don’t be sad.
In the past I didn’t understand either:
Why is God’s end-time gospel hindered so much?
Why do these priests and elders resist God’s work all along?
Before I met a priest.
After he listened to God’s end-time gospel,
he acknowledged that this is the true way but he refused to accept it.
Why?
Because he had such a high position in the religion
and he didn’t want to lose it.
But, he wrote down God’s word and fellowshipped about it in the churches.
The brothers and sisters all liked to listen to the word and admired him.
But he just didn’t testify
that this is the word expressed by the end-time Christ, Almighty God.
So, others thought that it was the inspiration he received from the Holy Spirit.
In that way, he extolled himself and deceived others.
Isn’t he an antichrist?
He’s really too hateful.
Yes. He even tried hard to control the believers by various means,
not allowing them to contact us.
This is because they also know this is the true way;
once the brothers and sisters hear the true way and return to God,
they’ll completely lose their position.
These priests really don’t have any heart of fearing God.
Right! Through reading God’s word and experiencing practically,
I came to know that God wants to make us have discernment by this.
These priests and elders don’t know God at all,
don’t have a heart of obeying God,
much less have a heart of fearing God.
Under the banner of believing in God,
they actually intend to control the brothers and sisters
and hinder them from accepting the true way.
God has already disclosed it in His word.
Let’s read a passage of Almighty God’s words.
Sister, please read it.
From God’s words,
we see that those priests and elders are hostile to God in substance.
They believe in God but resist God.
In order to make others admire and follow them,
they seal off the churches tightly, fabricate rumors,
frame and condemn the Church of Almighty God, and even blaspheme God.
It can be said that they do all kinds of evil.
They would rather fight against God to the end
at the risk of losing their lives.
They deeply fear that others will hear God’s end-time gospel.
Many brothers and sisters want to investigate the true way,
but they get controlled and thus lose the opportunity of being saved.
What do they preach for?
Isn’t it for their fame and position?
Their purpose is to make others admire them, follow them, and surround them.
They do that specially to control others
and hinder them from turning to God.
Yes, it is just like Elder Wang of our church.
He not only used the church offerings
to buy a new apartment in a high-class gated community,
but sent his children to study abroad.
Most hatefully, he even sealed off the churches,
not letting others accept the true way.
This reminds me of those priests and Pharisees in the temple.
To preserve their position and job,
they tried to get something on Jesus in every aspect so as to condemn Him,
simply not investigating or seeking the true way.
In the end, they nailed Jesus onto the cross.
The religious leaders of today are just the same as the Pharisees of that time.
Right. Now these priests and elders still don’t learn the lesson.
Today when the Lord Jesus is incarnated and carries out a new work,
they also resist frenziedly.
They’re really detestable.
Yes. As to why they resist God so frenziedly,
Almighty God has said clearly.
Let’s read a passage of God’s words.
The religious world nowadays is completely ruled by Satan and evil people.
Those who have religious knowledge and theological knowledge
are hypocritical and deceive people everywhere.
Aren’t their doings just for obtaining fame and gain?
They are evil men that betray God and are religious cheats.
I see. They most fear that the brothers and sisters will see God’s appearing,
accept the true way and return to God, and thus reject them.
They are really the Pharisees of this age.
Yes. Two thousand years ago Jesus prophesied
that when the Lord returned in the end time,
He would reveal the evil servants.
Today the fact has been fulfilled.
When Almighty God’s end-time work is carried out,
their antichrist nature of hating and rejecting the truth is revealed.
Just as God’s words say,
God’s practical work of today
reveals the fact of the religious leaders’ resisting God.
Most of the priests and elders
are the ones who don’t pursue the truth nor truly worship God.
What do they serve?
Not God, but fame, position, and power.
If they still don’t repent, when God appears publicly,
won’t they be punished by God?
This is really God’s almightiness and wisdom.
God’s words say,
When God works in the end time,
He exposes the true face of those priests and elders.
They are hostile to God all along,
not allowing others to investigate the true way,
much less letting them make choices freely.
They are trampling and devouring people.
This severely offends God’s disposition.
They are simply the accomplices and associates of Satan.
God works in the end time
just for the purpose that we can have discernment of them,
won’t be deceived or bound, and thus reject them completely.
God doesn’t look at how many works a person does for Him,
but looks at whether he can obey the will of the heavenly Father.
They have done many works for God,
but when Jesus comes again, they condemn and resist Him.
This completely offends God’s disposition.
I remember the Lord Jesus said,
Now this word is fully fulfilled.
However, from our past experience in preaching the gospel,
we see that although the religious leaders
try their best to hinder God’s gospel work,
those who truly believe in God and thirst for the truth
in every denomination and sect
still catch up with God’s new work.
Therefore, we can see that God’s wisdom is based on Satan’s schemes.
No matter how many people resist Him,
the things God wants to accomplish will not be hindered by any force.
Yes. God’s sheep can recognize God’s voice.
As long as we do our utmost,
performing the duty of preaching the gospel and testifying God,
I believe that God will surely lead us
and inspire and lead those who truly believe in God to return to God.
Thank God!
Through our fellowship, I feel brightened in my heart.
I also have faith to cooperate.
Let’s cooperate well with one heart and one mind.
I believe that God will surely lead us.
Let’s sing a hymn together. (OK.)
Encouraged by Almighty God’s words,
the four of us endured the misunderstanding, rejection, beating, and cursing
from various denominations and sects,
and continued to preach the gospel and testify God.
Not long afterward,
the end-time gospel of Almighty God was spread in Zhangjiakou.
Many people who truly believe in God
broke free from the bondage and restraint of the religious leaders
and came before Almighty God.
Third sister. (Yeah!)
Today I brought Sister Li to your home
mainly to let her talk with you about God’s work.
Really? (Mm.)
These two days, I heard some from her. (Mm.)
Yeah. Really?
I understand a lot from her fellowship. Have a listen today.
Xiaoxiao.
Yeah! Sister Zhou. Sister Sun. There you are!
How do you do?
Who let you preach here?
Have you filed an application with the Administration of Religious Affairs?
Did the Three-Self Church send you here?
How dare you come here to preach without any permission!
This is illegal preaching.
If I call the police station, the cops will come to arrest you at once!
O God! May You give me wisdom and courage
and bestow to me the words I should say.
Sister, it is recorded in Mark 16:15
that when Jesus sent His disciples to preach the gospel, He said,
Preaching the gospel is the Lord’s command
and shouldn’t be restricted by any environment or condition.
It’s right to obey the Lord’s way.
Who’s your sister?
What you preach is a heresy and a false way!
You don’t deserve to call her sister! (Right!)
Brothers and sisters, we’re all corrupted men.
None of us are qualified to condemn others.
Only the Lord has the authority to condemn man.
To figure out whether what I preach is the true way,
we have to seek and investigate.
Shut up!
All these people, I brought them over, I shepherded them.
How dare you come to steal my sheep!
You’re a thief!
So I am qualified to condemn you!
Sister, don’t we preach the gospel to bring people before God?
People come before God to worship Him and they all belong to God.
No matter whether you are a brother or a sister, or a pastor, or an elder,
you are God’s sheep, not anyone’s sheep, or any denomination’s.
But we say that sheep are ours.
Don’t we stand the wrong position?
Don’t quibble. We are approved by the state.
Are you approved by the state?
Do you have a preaching certificate?
The state law stipulates that it is only legal to believe in God in the church.
They are illegal. Don’t listen to them.
Sister, I’d like to ask:
Who is bigger, God or the state?
Does man have to be approved by the state to believe in God?
It is justified for us to believe in God.
We only obey God while believing in God.
Preaching the gospel is God’s teaching.
Do we need any certificate?
Sister Zhou has preached the gospel here for many years and suffered a lot.
Do you know?
Today you come here to occupy her territory and profit yourself at her expense.
People like you should not only be condemned but also be beaten!
Sister, don’t get irritated.
Today we come to preach God’s end-time gospel and not to occupy your territory.
The earth belongs to the Lord. It’s not yours or mine.
Today the Lord has come back,
and He will unite all denominations into one.
We come to preach God’s end-time gospel
so that the brothers and sisters can keep up with God’s new work.
How can you say that we are occupying your territory?
You’re just saying nice words.
Don’t listen to her. We should listen to Sister Zhou.
Sister, as a preacher, we shouldn’t restrain or control others
or deprive them of their freedom to believe in God.
Why not let them seek and investigate the true way freely?
The Bible says,
We obey God.
In believing in God, we should first magnify God.
How can we keep people under our control?
Cut the crap!
Hey, don’t beat her!
Since you don’t wanna sit down to seek and fellowship, we’ll go now.
Third Sister, I’ll go first. (Okay.)
Stand still! Don’t go!
Stop! Stop!
Hey, what are you doing?
So young, with nothing better to do, but deceive people everywhere.
Wanna leave? No way!
What are you doing? Don’t beat her!
How could she beat her?
Stop beating her!
Go! Call the police!
Let her have a taste of prison.
How dare you steal sheep!
Stop beating her!
Go away!
Little cheat! A vermin!
How dare you come to steal sheep again!
What are you doing? (Go away!)
Don’t do that! (Go!)
Go! (Get her up!)
Go! (What are you doing?)
Go! How dare you come to steal sheep!
How dare you come to steal sheep!
Go away! Little cheat!
What are you doing?
How dare you deceive others!
Why are you beating me?
How dare you come to steal sheep! (Go, go, go, go!)
How dare you come to steal sheep! (Let me go!)
Bah! We won’t show mercy to people like you!
We’ll hand you over to the police in a while.
Mom! No one in the police station answered the phone.
Strange! Usually, someone is there.
Today, where are they?
Forget it! Let’s take her to the police station. (OK!)
Get away! Get away! Get away!
No one is allowed to touch her!
I brought her here today. I must take her away!
Don’t do that. (Let them go!)
Right, let them go! (Right!)
Little cheat! Don’t let me see you in Baoding again!
I won’t let you off so easily next time!
O God! These religious leaders treat us like this and persecute us.
They just want to force us to give up preaching the gospel
so that the believers under them can never hear the gospel of Your coming again.
So that, they will achieve their purpose of controlling man,
profiteering from belief, being hostile to You and destroying Your work.
I shouldn’t fall into Satan’s trap, or become disheartened or passive.
No matter how difficult and hard it is,
I’ll preach the gospel to testify God
so that more people can know Almighty God’s work and receive God’s salvation.
Here. Have some water!
Does it hurt?
It’s OK.
Sister Xiao, today we meet such a thing.
Are you frightened?
Xiaomo, don’t worry. I’m fine.
Before, I had a good impression of these preachers,
thinking that they worked hard for the Lord.
Today, I see clearly their true face.
They are the wicked servants who scramble for the people with the Lord.
They even want to take the brothers and sisters to the government.
Can the believers in God do such a thing?
In the future, no matter how they disturb me,
I’m resolved to follow Almighty God.
I won’t give up my elder sister. I’ll continue to preach to her.
Mm. Thank God. Let’s cooperate again in the future. (Yeah.)
Then let’s read a passage of God’s words! (Mm.)
O God! I thank and praise You!
I thought that Sister Xiao would be frightened by the scene today.
Unexpectedly, she has some discernment about the religious leaders
and is certain about Your work.
It’s really a bad situation that changed to good!
O God! You’re really so almighty and wise!
I feel very honored that I can suffer for the spreading of Your gospel.
In the future, no matter what environment comes upon me,
I’ll do my best to cooperate with You
and bring those brothers and sisters who truly believe in You before You!
You see, God’s word tells us
that God’s work is always progressing forward continuously.
In a period of time, there is a new working direction.
So, we shouldn’t keep regulations.
Right. In the end time, God does the judgment work with the truth.
He does not perfect man with signs and wonders
but supplies and shepherds man with the word,
so that man can gain the truth and understand God’s will from the word.
Well, all right. Stop working. Take a break! (OK.)
Sister. Come here. Have a break. (It’s OK. I’m not tired.)
Come over!
Sister, are you busy with the farm work recently?
Yes. Actually, my whole family is willing to follow Almighty God,
but we are too busy.
We work from morning to night every day.
Let’s have a meeting after finishing the farm work, OK?
Sister, no problem. We have time.
So we can help you do more work.
Then we can spare some time to fellowship about God’s words more. (Great!)
Auntie, are you tired?
I’m fine. Not tired. Are you tired?
We’re fine. Not very tired. Let’s continue.
As soon as we finish working, we can go home to fellowship about God’s word.
Thank you so much. You helped me a lot today.
There they are? (Ah, yes.)
Auntie, who are they?
My husband’s younger brother,
and Brother Mao and Brother Shi who are in charge of the church work.
I’ll go and see. You are here.
Sister Wang,
why do you host these two cheats who believe in Almighty God? Huh?
They come here to get food and drink by fraud.
Drive them away now.
I have been in contact with them for several days.
It seems that they are not that kind of people as you said.
What about talking with them?
No talking! Do you follow them to deceive us?
I advise you to wake up quickly and reject them.
If you don’t listen to me, I’ll tell the church to expel you.
What they preach is a heresy and a false way.
If you believe with them, the Lord won’t want you.
We’d better go home and have a talk.
Let’s go home.
Let’s go.
Nothing serious. It’s all right.
Let’s go home and talk. Let’s go home. (Mm.)
Brother Mao, some women are so shameless.
She goes to grab men and steal men everywhere.
What does the Bible say?
How to deal with such a woman?
Stone her to death.
In my opinion, break her legs and see if she dares to run wildly,
or hang her to a tree and bind her for a show.
Shame her and expose her to the sun! Humph!
Anyway, we can treat her as we like.
O God! In this remote and unfamiliar mountain,
we can’t run away even if we want to.
O God! What should we do?
Xiaomo, don’t be afraid.
God’s words say,
Here. Brother. Wash up first!
Bah! What cheek! Wanna induce us?
We won’t fall into your trap!
Brothers, stop talking here.
Let’s go inside and have a good talk!
Come on, let’s go.
O God! I thank You for arranging such an environment.
Sister Wang wants to discern and make certain which is the true way
through our fellowship with the brothers from her original denomination.
I know, right now, not only are the brothers and sisters watching
but You are also watching.
I’m willing to cooperate with the sister with one heart and one mind
and testify Your gospel to the brothers and sisters so that they can know
that You’re the Lord Jesus they are expecting day and night.
I only wish You to give us the proper words to say
so that we can fellowship by the wisdom You give us
and the brothers and sisters who are deceived by the leaders
can see through their lies and come before You earlier.
Brother, I’m Li Mo.
Stop! Who is your brother?
Brother Mao, they say that the Lord has come back.
This is not a small thing!
You have served the Lord for many years.
Help us make a discernment!
Right! Help us. (Mm!)
If what they preach is false, we won’t follow them. (Right.)
Brothers and sisters, come in. Come in please.
Go. Get in. Go.
All come in.
Sister Wang, Brother Mao, Brother Shi.
Sit here.
Sit down please.
Sister Wang, I just saw that Brother Mao and Brother Shi came to your house.
We all want to come over and listen.
Listen? Eh? I’ve warned you again and again
not to receive strangers or listen to their preaching.
You are immature in life.
You’ll be deceived if you hear it.
You just don’t listen to me.
I tell you, what they preach is a heresy and a false way.
It’s deceitful. You read the Bible in vain.
Brother, since we are all believers in the Lord,
we should have a good fellowship.
The Bible says that you should entertain strangers.
The Lord teaches us to seek humbly.
But you don’t allow the brothers and sisters to show hospitality or seek.
You are disobeying the Lord’s teaching.
Brother Mao, we are immature in life.
You are more mature than us.
Since the Lord lets us gather together, let’s have a fellowship.
Right. Brother Shi, Brother Mao.
Let’s fellowship together. We can listen more.
Yeah. You are familiar with the Bible.
Help us get some discernment. (Yes.)
All right. Today I’ll let all of you have some discernment.
We don’t need to talk to them!
Their “Eastern Lightning” is a gang.
If you join their organization, you can never get out.
Then they will gouge out your eyes, cut off your ears, and break your legs.
Humph! Better think it over.
Brother Mao, I have been in contact with them several times.
They don’t seem to be gangsters.
Gangsters commit murder and arson and dare to do all kinds of things. (Humph!)
No one dares to provoke them.
They have come to the village many times.
Some people drove them away and some beat them.
A young sister was bitten by the dog my brother-in-law sicced on her.
They are very kindhearted.
They don’t look like a gang.
If they are really a gang, who would dare sic a dog on them?
They aren’t like a gang.
Yes. They look very kind. Not like a gang! (No.) It’s easy to know men’s faces, but not their hearts. (Right!)
I have stayed with them several times.
They talk about things of believing in the Lord
and talk about how to believe in God well,
how God saves man, how to obey God, and how to know God.
I’ve never heard these words before.
Sister-in-law, come on.
Save it. What do you know?
Can what Brother Mao says be wrong?
Sister Wang, some day, when they gouge out your eyes and cut off your ears,
you won’t speak like that. Humph!
Brother, have you ever seen the things you talk about? (Humph!)
Brothers and sisters,
Almighty God’s end-time work has been spread in every province of China.
Some accept, some don’t.
If the rumors were true,
there would be many people whose eyes have been gouged out and noses cut off!
Although rumors spread everywhere, no real evidence is shown.
Many people in our village refuse to accept the work of Almighty God.
Have you ever seen anyone’s nose cut off or their eyes gouged out? (No.)
No, we’ve never seen it. (Definitely. No.)
Brother, everything should have its basis.
The Proverbs says,
We should guard our lips lest we fall into Satan’s trap.
At that time, the Jewish people slandered Jesus like that.
We won’t listen. Don’t expect to deceive us.
We give you a few minutes to speak, but you speak without an end.
In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, Satan, get away.
Go away!
Go away! (Get out of here!)
Brother Mao, you are the head sheep in our church.
As you understand the Bible, are you afraid of being deceived? (Humph!)
Afraid of them?
Humph! They can’t deceive us at all!
They can only deceive you who are immature in life.
Yes! Who fears them?
Let them finish their words.
Sit down. Sit down please. (Humph!)
Yes! We are immature in life and you are mature.
If they say something wrong, you can tell us,
so we can gain some discernment. (Yes! Right!)
Since we want to seek the truth, we should be calm and peaceful.
Brothers and sisters,
we all know that every time when God comes to do new work,
all the religious leaders refuse to accept it and try their best to slander
and make up all kinds of rumors to judge and deny it.
We can think back:
God was incarnated in Judea for the first time.
At that time, people in Judaism served God.
However, when God was incarnated to work,
people in Judaism and the religions
all stood up to oppose and resist God’s work.
They resisted God’s work so frenziedly.
Yes! When those evil servants saw that God was incarnated to save man,
they tried their best to resist
and made up lies and fabricated rumors to deceive people
and even instigated people to reject God’s work and banish God’s coming.
They would rather release a criminal than not crucify the Lord Jesus.
This is a typical example of mankind’s resisting God.
Today, God is incarnated to work among man
and expresses the truth to save man.
He also suffers mankind’s resisting, condemnation, and rejection
and He is crucified again.
Why? This shows that mankind doesn’t know God at all.
If people don’t know the true way and even don’t seek the truth,
they will repeat the mistake of the Pharisees very easily.
Brothers and sisters,
let’s think back to the time when Jesus worked in Judea.
At that time, those Pharisees always tempted the Lord and resisted His work,
but the Lord always countered and refuted them with the truth,
so they were struck dumb and rendered speechless.
Actually, they knew in their heart
that the words the Lord Jesus spoke were with authority and power
and couldn’t be spoken by ordinary people.
If they had a little thirst for the truth at that time,
they would wait and seek like Nicodemus.
But there was only one Nicodemus.
On the contrary, because of hating the truth,
those Pharisees were afraid that if the Jews heard the Lord’s word,
they would follow the Lord, and no one would follow them.
As they were afraid that they would lose position and fame and gain,
they even fabricated rumors and slandered Jesus and condemned God’s work.
In the end, they crucified Jesus and committed a monstrous sin.
Pitifully, those Jews only followed man
but didn’t obey God while believing in God.
As a result, they became their burial sacrifice unconsciously.
So, in believing in God,
if people don’t seek the truth but only follow man blindly,
it is very dangerous.
The true way is always persecuted and even opposed by the world.
At that time when the Lord Jesus came to work,
wasn’t He opposed by the entire Judaism?
Because mankind is deeply corrupted by Satan,
is full of Satan’s philosophy and knowledge,
can’t discern the truth, and doesn’t have the ability of understanding,
they will naturally resist God.
So the true way is persecuted and rejected by man, which is inevitable.
If a work isn’t opposed and rejected by the world and mankind,
it shows that it isn’t God’s work or the truth.
Brothers and sisters, do we know how to treat God’s new work now?
We should first quiet down to pray and then investigate and seek the true way.
I believe that God will surely lead everyone who genuinely believes in Him.
Brothers and sisters, at that time, the Jews missed God’s salvation
just because they didn’t investigate or seek the true way.
We should draw a lesson from their failure and never follow in their footsteps.
Today, we can never make a judgment lightly
about the words the end-time Christ expresses.
What is Almighty God’s work?
We need to know and investigate and check whether it’s God’s work,
whether there is the truth,
and whether it can make us closer and closer to God.
If these results can be achieved, it is the working of the Holy Spirit.
In the end time, God has done a new work and we can’t see it through.
But we should seek and investigate lest we repeat the historical tragedy.
Well, well, all go home! Go home!
Don’t listen to their nonsense. Go home!
Everybody, go home!
Quick! Go home! Go!
What are you doing?
They haven’t got to the main point.
How can we leave? (Yes.)
Continue, please. We’d like to listen.
Let us gain some discernment.
Brother, don’t be anxious!
They haven’t finished their words.
Let them speak. Sit down, please.
Humph!
Today, since we are here together, it is prepared by God.
Let’s get to know about God’s new work.
New work? (Humph!)
I’ve read the Bible so many times.
Why don’t I know that the Lord will do a new work?
I tell you, I have laid my foundation on the rock of the Lord Jesus.
Don’t expect to deceive me! Pttf!
Brother, when God expresses the word in the end time,
He will thoroughly purify and save man with the word.
Because although man—
The work of purifying man?
Too ridiculous!
Have you read the Bible?
Huh? Was the precious blood of the Lord Jesus shed in vain?
Our sins have been forgiven by the precious blood of the Lord Jesus.
We have been purified.
Do we still need to be purified?
Huh? Humph!
Yes! By the precious blood of the Lord Jesus,
our sins have been forgiven.
The Lord’s precious blood is eternally effective and can cleanse our sins.
You say that we still need to be purified.
Was the precious blood of the Lord Jesus shed in vain?
Brother, the redemptive work of the Lord’s crucifixion is effective.
This fact can never be changed.
Only because of enjoying the Lord’s sin offering
can we mankind be qualified to come before the Lord to pray
and enjoy the abundant grace bestowed by the Lord.
No matter what difficulties we encounter, we can pray to the Lord,
asking the Lord to help us solve them.
No matter what sins we commit,
we can pray in the Lord’s name and the Lord will forgive us,
because the Lord is kind and merciful
and He will forbear all our transgressions.
However, it doesn’t mean that we have been completely gained by God,
because we often commit sins and don’t have any ability of self-control.
Even if we don’t want to commit sins, we sin in spite of ourselves.
Just as Paul said,
Do you think that the problem which perplexed Paul
also perplexes the brothers and sisters in the Lord?
Right! (Yeah!) (Right!)
It is really like that.
How can we who live in sin every day be said to be purified ones?
Actually, people just go through the circle
of confessing sins, committing sins, and being forgiven of their sins.
No one has broken free from the bondage and restraint of sins.
They follow the trend of the world and indulge in the fleshly ease.
What they live out has no likeness of a man.
They can only commit sins and confess them but can’t practice the truth.
Even those profoundly learned religious leaders
who believe in God for a lifetime and are familiar with the Bible are the same.
Brothers and sisters, is what I say the fact?
Yes! (It is true.) (Right!) (Mm!)
This is how it is.
Keep your mouth shut!
If you don’t speak, no one will take you as a mute.
Humph!
Brothers and sisters,
since the Lord Jesus has redeemed us through crucifixion,
why can we still commit sins?
That I really don’t know.
Sister, we truly don’t know this. Please tell us!
Yes! Tell us!
Sister, take out the book of God’s word, please. (Well!)
Actually, the work done by the Lord Jesus only redeemed man from sins.
We accept the work done by the Lord Jesus,
but it doesn’t mean that we are not of sin and became holy.
That is to say,
the work of forgiving sin only lays a foundation for God’s end-time work today.
Now God’s work is based on the work of the sin offering in the Age of the Grace.
It is just because of Jesus’ redemption
that we are all qualified to come before God and accept God’s present work.
However, we are only forgiven of our sins
but not truly gained by God completely,
because our life disposition within has not been renewed or transformed.
Brothers and sisters, let’s read a passage of God’s words.
Brothers and sisters,
from God’s words we can see that because the Lord Jesus was crucified,
we are redeemed from Satan’s hand and not because of our own ability.
It is because of God’s love and the price God paid that we can live until today.
Similarly, if we want to be thoroughly transformed today,
we also need God to do a stage of work.
Today, God comes to do a stage of work of removing sin.
Because God is holy and righteous,
He doesn’t allow filthy people to enter His kingdom,
much less allow those who resist Him to defile His holy land.
This is God’s disposition and no one can break it.
Therefore, we not only need to experience Jesus’ redemption,
but also need to experience God’s end-time work of judgment and chastisement,
so that we can cast off our corrupt disposition and be purified
and in the end we have the qualification to enter into God’s kingdom.
Still need to remove our sins? (How?)
Jesus has redeemed all our sins.
Yes! We commit sins but the Lord will forgive our sins.
Brother, although we repent to the Lord and the Lord will forgive our sins,
our sinful nature corrupted by Satan hasn’t been removed.
Man has those corrupt dispositions
and it proves that man still lives under Satan’s power.
Mankind lives in sin and has no way to free themselves from it
and it proves that God hasn’t saved us completely.
Therefore, we still need God’s further work of salvation,
so that the problem of our committing sins can be solved.
Brothers and sisters, let’s read a passage of God’s words.
Brothers and sisters, these words of God disclose a great mystery to us,
which is also a question that has puzzled us for many years.
That is to say, only if the end-time people accept God’s further salvation,
thoroughly have their sinful nature removed,
and have their corrupt satanic disposition cast off,
can they be qualified to see God’s face and live in God’s kingdom forever.
That is, only if they experience the work
of chastisement and judgment of God’s word in the end time,
can they gain God’s complete salvation.
Otherwise, no one can be purified and saved.
Actually, we have sunk in the sin and can’t get ourselves out
because Jesus only did the work of forgiving sin
and didn’t do the work of removing sin.
No pastors and Christians who believe for a whole life
dares to say that they have been holy.
Brothers and sisters,
God doesn’t just transform us and make us have some good behaviors outwardly,
such as no drinking, fighting, or stealing.
What is God’s intention for the corrupt mankind?
Let’s read God’s words.
It’s very clear in God’s words
that what Jesus did is the work of redemption.
Because of Jesus’ redemption, man is no longer of sin,
but it doesn’t mean that man doesn’t have sin.
Every believer in Jesus lives sinning by day and confessing at night.
Even if you don’t want to commit sins, you can’t make it.
The root of the problem
is that God hasn’t done the work of purifying man and transforming man.
So, if we only believe in Jesus,
we can’t be purified and can’t inherit God’s inheritance.
That makes sense. (It is a fact.)
You guys—
Let them continue and see what they can speak.
From God’s words, we can see that the reason why man commits sins
is that the old satanic nature hasn’t been removed.
So, man can still resist God and betray God.
If God finished the redemptive work,
and didn’t remove the root of sin
and directly brought those who were redeemed by Him
but could resist Him at any time into His kingdom,
then, how can we explain God’s righteous and holy disposition?
Therefore, according to man’s need, on the basis of redemptive work,
God has done a stage of work of removing sin.
God’s work deepens and uplifts stage by stage
and becomes complete stage by stage.
His purpose is to save man and purify man,
so that man can become holy.
So, to bring man into His kingdom,
God has to do this stage of work of judgment and chastisement.
These words are reasonable. (Mm.)
Make sense.
God returns in the flesh to work in order to save man and purify man.
How do people of today treat God’s new work?
Let’s read a passage of God’s words.
When Christ comes to work in the end time,
people still hold on to be compatible with the Bible
but they don’t seek the way to be compatible with Christ,
and thus they resist God again and crucify God again,
seriously offending God’s disposition.
God’s words tell us that the work God does in the end time
is the work of dividing men into their kinds.
Dividing men into their kinds?
Dividing men into their kinds?
From God’s words, we can understand
that there are plans and steps in God’s work of saving mankind.
The redemptive work Jesus did is just the initial step of the salvation work.
He didn’t finish the whole work of salvation
and it paves the way and lays the foundation for the end-time work of salvation.
Jesus didn’t do the work of thoroughly purifying mankind.
The work of chastisement and judgment the end-time Christ Almighty God does
is the work of leading mankind to cast off their sinful nature
and break free from Satan’s power of darkness and truly return to God.
It is also the salvation that God will reveal in the end time
and God’s chosen people in the Age of the Grace are expecting.
It is most central and crucial in the work of saving mankind.
Then, how is God’s work of judgment carried out?
Let’s read God’s words.
Even if you talk yourself hoarse, we won’t believe.
We will hold on to the Lord’s way.
I believe the Lord won’t discard us, huh!
Sister, tell us about it.
We all want to hear.
Yes, please tell us.
Yeah, tell us.
God does the work “Judgment begins with God’s family” in the end time
and purifies man through the judgment of the word.
In God’s words,
we know the root of man’s committing sins
and Satan’s nature and substance of corrupting man;
we see the right way of human life
and know the way to have our disposition transformed.
As a result, God works all the truth into man.
God had never spoken such words
in the Age of the Law and the Age of the Grace,
which just fulfills the Lord Jesus’ words,
God’s word is the Spirit of truth.
The end-time incarnated Christ has come.
The word expressed by God is the word of the Holy Spirit.
The Word Appears in the Flesh is the expression of the Spirit of truth.
Only after experiencing God’s end-time work of judgment
can we gain the truth from God,
so that we will truly know God,
break away from the corrupt satanic disposition,
and be thoroughly remolded to be holy men with the truth as our life.
So, only after man experiences God’s end-time work of judgment and chastisement
can his sinful nature within be truly removed.
Having God’s word as the reality of our life,
we can have the power to overcome Satan and transcend sin.
We won’t resist or betray God any more.
And we’ll end the fallen life
of committing sins in the day and confessing them at night.
We’ll be able to truly obey and worship God.
When God does the work of judgment,
if people don’t accept it, they are rebels in God’s eyes.
In the end, they will suffer a severer punishment from God.
Don’t try to scare us.
The Lord is merciful and loving.
Brothers and sisters, don’t listen to her.
She’s scaring us intentionally.
The Lord Jesus is full of love and mercy for man,
and He will forgive all of man’s sins.
He won’t punish man.
Yes, that’s right. (Yes.)
This word has a point. (Right!)
Brother, you are wrong.
God has love and mercy,
but God also has majesty and wrath.
Weren’t those who betrayed and resisted God punished by God?
For example, didn’t Judas, who sold out Jesus,
die with his body bursting open due to God’s punishment?
Weren’t the Ananias couple, who deceived God,
punished to death right away by God?
Yes, God not only has love and mercy (Right.)
but also has majesty and wrath. (You’re right.)
The Bible has already prophesied
that God will do the end-time work of judgment in the air, not on earth.
What will you say about this?
Brother, it cannot be more wrong to measure God’s work
according to the letters of the prophecies in the Bible.
We should try to understand the prophecies
on the basis of the fact of God’s work.
That would be right.
Didn’t the Pharisees crucify the Lord Jesus
because the Lord Jesus’ work
disagrees with the letters of the prophecies in the Bible?
That’s right, we’d better listen more first.
Yes, listen more first.
Mm, let’s listen more first. (Yes, right.)
I’ll read another passage of God’s words to you,
and let’s see what the end-time judgment is.
Brother, Almighty God’s words say explicitly
that accepting the end-time Christ’s work of judgment and chastisement
is the only way for man to break away from sin and to be saved.
If you are stiff-necked and reject Almighty God’s end-time work,
no matter how faithful you are to Jesus,
you’ll be condemned and punished in the end.
Brothers and sisters, don’t think the sin offering is effective forever,
or even if we don’t accept God’s end-time work it will be alright,
and the Lord will forgive us forever.
If we think in this way, it’s absolutely wrong.
It is true that the Lord Jesus can forgive our sins,
but this is directed at those
who can accept God’s end-time work of judgment and be purified and saved.
Whereas, to those who reject God’s end-time work,
the sin offering has no effect.
Just like the verses in Hebrews say,
That’s right.
Yes. Mm. Right.
Believing in Jesus is good, why do we need chastisement and judgment?
Listen to what else they got to say.
Let me keep reading,
Yeah, right. Yes! Mm.
No ordinary man can speak out such words.
I’ve never heard such words.
Yes. Yes. It’s true.
Brothers and sisters,
God carries out the end-time work of judgment
to let people understand the truth and cast off their corrupt disposition,
and help them realize their wish of being saved.
But if people don’t accept the work of judgment the end-time Christ does,
or deny that His word is the truth and the life,
then they can only fall into disasters and be punished.
Let’s read another passage of God’s words.
Sister, let me read it. (Mm.)
Sister, let’s look at this passage. (OK.)
Brothers and sisters, today, every word expressed by Almighty God
is judgment and chastisement on people.
What God’s judgment and chastisement bring to mankind
is all purification and salvation,
and is the greatest and truest love God has for mankind.
Only if we accept Christ’s work of judgment can we gain God’s full salvation.
So, all those who resist and condemn the end-time Christ
will suffer God’s righteous punishment.
What’s the matter with you?
Endless, eh?
I tell you, if you continue talking nonsense, believe it or not,
I’ll make you stay in prison for several years with just one call.
Brother Mao,
don’t you often talk about expecting the Lord’s returning?
We don’t think your attitude is good.
Suing the sisters is not the thing we believers in the Lord can do!
You’ve been deeply poisoned.
You’re really incorrigible.
The Lord’s coming is such a big thing,
yet you not only don’t investigate, but glibly condemn,
and prevent brothers and sisters from accepting the true way.
I’ve heard their fellowship several times.
I firmly believe and see clearly that the way they preach is the true way. (Mm.)
Sister Wang, you’re completely deceived.
No matter how right their fellowship is, I won’t accept it.
Brother, don’t be so agitated.
I can understand your feelings.
We never force people to accept God’s new work.
However, we sincerely hope everyone can seek and make an investigation.
Do not blindly condemn and make conclusions.
Otherwise, if we miss God’s end-time salvation,
we’ll be heartbroken with regret.
Let’s read what Almighty God says,
The salvation God brings us today
is the most realistic words that God expresses.
In God’s words, we have knowledge of our real image of being corrupted by Satan
and see Satan’s nature.
Without these words, we can’t be completely gained by God.
If we only hold on to God’s former words
which could only change some of man’s behaviors,
we still have sins and we can’t receive God’s approval
even if we believe to the end.
These words sound exactly like God’s judgment on man.
Has God really come to do the work of judgment?
Almighty God’s words are right!
We can’t judge any more, nor can we refuse.
We must make a careful investigation.
Must make an investigation. (Mm, yeah! Right!)
Brothers, you’re the leading sheep in the church.
You shouldn’t restrain and control people,
or deprive them of the freedom to believe in God.
Why don’t you let them freely seek and investigate the true way?
We shouldn’t be the wicked servants who resist God.
Otherwise, we will be punished by God.
Don’t try to frighten us.
Honestly speaking, you can only deceive the small potatoes.
We have life. Never expect to draw us in.
Humph! You—
Brothers, so many brothers and sisters are looking at you.
You must be responsible for our lives!
Brothers, you’ve believed in the Lord for so many years
and you have been serving the Lord all along.
However, have you ever considered
why on earth we believe in God and why we serve God?
If one serves God but doesn’t know God, will God approve him?
The work God does in the end time is the work of the word.
He will thoroughly save us from sin,
and let us know God and receive the way of eternal life bestowed by God.
So, we should have a heart of seeking God.
Don’t offend God’s disposition because of condemning blindly.
This is not a small matter.
Let’s read Almighty God’s word together.
Brothers and sisters, from God’s words, we can see that
only the last Christ can bring man the way of eternal life.
When God worked in the Age of the Grace,
He didn’t express enough truth to be man’s life.
But, in the end time,
God bestows all the truth for corrupt mankind to be saved.
So, only if we experience God’s end-time work
can we receive the truth as our life.
Only those who have the truth as life
are the ones Satan can’t deceive or corrupt any more.
So, we’ll no longer betray or resist God
and we’ll be gained by God, and truly belong to God.
Yes, the word the last Christ expresses is exactly what all people need
and is the necessary pathway for everyone to enter into the kingdom.
Without the redemption of Jesus’ crucifixion in the Age of Grace,
man’s sin couldn’t be forgiven.
If the last Christ—Almighty God didn’t do the work of judgment and chastisement,
man couldn’t truly get rid of sins,
much less be qualified to enter into God’s kingdom.
Right, well said, good point!
Well! Sister Wang, you even deny the Lord Jesus.
Today I declare that the church expels you.
You’re not allowed to step into the church in the future.
If I find that you go into the church to deceive the brothers and sisters,
I won’t be so easy on you.
Let’s go.
Why?
Stop making a fool of ourselves here.
Just wait and see!
Sisters, your fellowship is very good today.
Yes, sisters, we’ve never heard what you talked about today.
It’s really very good. (Thank God!)
Right. Can you tell us some more?
It’s too late today.
Yes, too late.
Let the brothers and sisters come again tomorrow.
Mm, all right.
Sister, is that OK? (Yes.)
Brothers and sisters, it’s late today.
Please go back.
All of you can come here tomorrow and we’ll fellowship together again.
OK. Today, many brothers and sisters didn’t catch this good opportunity.
Tomorrow I’ll bring them along and let them have a listen too.
Mm, regarding such a great thing, the Lord’s coming,
we must investigate clearly.
Only if we read God’s word more can we understand the truth more
and be certain about God’s end-time work.
We’ll surely come here tomorrow.
Come earlier. (OK.)
Sister Wang.
Yeah. Everybody is here.
We’ve come again today.
Please take a seat.
I heard you defeated Pastor Mao and Pastor Shi.
So I came today to have a look.
Before I heard that someone preached the “Eastern Lightning,”
but I dared not listen to it.
Today, Sister Zhang is here, so I also want to come.
Mm.
Sisters, I returned home and pondered what you talked yesterday
and thought it’s very reasonable.
Can you let us have a look at your book?
Yes, of course!
Thank you.
Yes. It’s good.
Sister, please take out the books!
OK.
Sister, I wanna ask you a question.
All right, please go ahead. If you have questions, feel free to ask.
Ok. I heard your fellowship yesterday and considered it quite reasonable.
But I don’t understand one thing.
You see, we’ve believed in Jesus for so many years.
If we don’t accept Almighty God’s end-time work,
can’t we enter into the kingdom of heaven?
Yes. Right!
Actually,
Almighty God’s words have explained this aspect of truth very clearly.
Let’s read God’s words together.
All right.
Here you are.
Sister, can you read God’s words?
Yes!
Let’s read God’s words together.
Please open the book of God’s word and turn to page 1460.
Sister, please read the second paragraph.
From God’s words,
We can see that if mankind want to receive God’s final promise
and be brought into the pleasant destination by God,
they must accept God’s end-time work
and experience the judgment and purification of God’s word.
While those who refuse to accept God’s end-time work
can’t receive such promise.
Instead, they will be punished for their disobedience and resistance.
Because this is the last stage of the work of God’s saving man
and also the work of deciding man’s outcome.
God has bestowed all the truths to man
and revealed His will to man.
It depends on what man will choose in the end.
Whether one can be saved depends on his own choice.
In the end, God will bring those who can be saved,
that is, those who love the truth, into the pleasant destination,
and destroy those who dislike the truth and refuse God’s end-time work.
Those people will no longer have the opportunity of being saved.
So, God’s end-time work is vital for all believers in God,
which relates to our destiny and destination.
This is the last stage of work in God’s entire management plan
and the last salvation God bestows to man.
Only if one accepts God’s end-time gospel
can he have the opportunity of being saved and receiving the eternal life.
Otherwise, man will perish forever.
During the over ten years of preaching the gospel,
I personally experienced the religious world’s resistance to God.
I also deeply felt that it is sad, hateful, and awful that people believe in God
but don’t know God and resist God!
I realized that today’s religious world
has long fallen to be the hostile evil force to God.
Those religious leaders who control the religious world
are the Pharisees of the time and the antichrists
revealed by God’s end-time work.
In order to safeguard their position and job,
they fabricate all kinds of rumors to condemn and slander God’s end-time work,
deceiving and controlling God’s chosen people,
and even collude with the government
to arrest the brothers and sisters who preach the gospel,
trying their best to hinder and demolish God’s work.
I saw that the religious world is completely ruled by Satan,
and has long lost the working of the Holy Spirit.
One will never be saved by God if he believes in God in religion
and will only be punished and cursed by God.
Experiencing the religious world’s persecution,
although I underwent some humiliations and sufferings,
just in these afflictions, I understood many truths,
tasted God’s almightiness and sovereignty,
and truly experienced that God’s love for mankind is true and real.
Only God dedicates everything for mankind selflessly
and only God’s word can save man.
I’m willing to make a resolution before God:
No matter how rugged and rough the road will be in future,
I will commit my whole life into God’s hand
and spend all my lifetime energies for God’s gospel work.
