2019 Christian Video | "Judgment of the Last Days" (Crosstalk)

The Lord Jesus said, "I have yet many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now. However, when He, the Spirit of truth, is come, He will guide you into all truth" (John 16:12–13). And in 1 Peter 4:17 it is written: "For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God." These scriptures all prophesy that in the last days the Lord will come to express the truth and perform the work of judgment among those who believe in Him. However, many of our brothers and sisters in faith believe that because they believe in the Lord, their sins are forgiven, that they don't need to accept God's judgment, and that when the Lord comes they will be directly brought into the kingdom of heaven. Is this notion in keeping with God's words? Does believing in the Lord and having one's sins forgiven really qualify someone to enter the kingdom of heaven? What exactly is involved in God's work of judgment in the last days? What does it have to do with man being raptured into the kingdom of heaven? The crosstalk Judgment of the Last Days will reveal the answers to you.

Christian Devotional Song With Lyrics | "Quieting Myself Before God"

Verse 1

I quiet myself before God,

pray and bare my heart to Him.

I simply and honestly open up,

speak from the heart.

I hand my difficulties and shortcomings over to God

and look to Him.

May God enlighten and illuminate me

to understand His will.

Through sincere seeking,

I gain the Holy Spirit’s light in me.

Understanding the truth,

I gain discernment and have a path of practice.

With God’s guidance I live in the light,

my heart is full of joy and sweetness.

I quiet myself before God.

God’s Words Have Awakened Me

By Miao Xiao

In the past, I used to always think that God’s words “a puppet and a traitor who flees from the great white throne” were referring to those who accept God’s work in the last days but who then retreat; to me, they were all people who weren’t willing to endure the pain of being judged and chastised. Therefore, whenever I saw brothers and sisters retreat for whatever reason, my heart would be filled with contempt toward them, thinking: “There goes another puppet and traitor fleeing from the great white throne who shall receive God’s punishment!” Each time this happened, I felt I was behaving properly in accepting God’s judgment and was not far from receiving God’s salvation.

The Judgement of God Is the Grace of God | "The Most Wonderful Blessing" (A Real-Life Story)

The drama The Most Wonderful Blessing is the story of a preacher in a house church. He believed that just by giving up his home and his job, and working and preaching the gospel he could gain God's blessing. After accepting Almighty God's work of the last days he continued on as usual, and as a leader in the church focused only on working hard while neglecting to put God's words into practice. He often relied on his own corrupt disposition in his affairs. God loathed this, and he lost the work of the Holy Spirit. After losing his position as a leader, for a time he was negative and resistant to God, but the judgment of God's words awoke him. He realized that God's most wonderful blessing for mankind is His judgment and chastisement.

We are fortunate to meet with God’s coming, we hear His voice.

We are fortunate to meet with God’s coming, we attend the feast of the Lamb.

We know the incarnate Almighty God, we see His wondrous deeds.

We understand the mystery of human life, Almighty God’s words are the most precious.

We eat and drink God’s words, and we live before Him, no longer searching here and there.

What Is the Nature of God’s Love?

By Siqiu

God’s words say: “If you’ve always been very loyal and loving toward Me, yet you suffer the torment of illness, the impoverishment of life, and the abandonment of your friends and relatives or endure any other misfortunes in life, then will your loyalty and love for Me still continue?” (“A Very Serious Problem: Betrayal (2)” in The Word Appears in the Flesh). Whenever I read this demand that God has of man, I feel an inexpressible sadness, and think: “O God, how can You allow those that are loyal to You and love You to meet with such misfortune? The man used by the Holy Spirit previously gave a fellowship that said, ‘God’s last demand of man is loving and sincere.’ How should we understand this?” These words had always puzzled me.

Judgment Is the Light

By Zhao Xia, Shandong Province

My name is Zhao Xia. I was born into an ordinary family. Due to the influence of dictums like “A man leaves his name behind wherever he stays, just as a goose utters its cry wherever it flies,” and “As a tree lives for its bark, a man lives for his face,” reputation and face became particularly important to me. Everything I did was to earn other people’s praise, compliments, and admiration. After getting married, the goals I set for myself were: I will have a more prosperous life than others; I must not allow anyone say negative things about how I treat the elderly or about my behavior and conduct; I will ensure my child gets into a well-known university and has good prospects in order to bring me more glory.

Since Eastern Lightning Is the True Way, Why Is It Oppressed?

Hello, brothers and sisters of Spiritual Q&A,

I’ve been looking into the way of Eastern Lightning for some time now. By reading Almighty God’s words and watching The Church of Almighty God’s gospel films and videos, I’ve learned about the purpose of God’s three stages of work, the mysteries of God’s incarnations, the significance of God taking on a different name in each age, the inside story of the Bible, what a wise virgin is and what a foolish virgin is, what truly being raptured is, how God’s judgment of the last days cleanses, transforms, and perfects people, plus what people’s destinations and outcomes will be. I’ve come to understand so many truths I never did before and my faith and love for God have been restored. I’ve had a lot of spiritual enjoyment. I’ve seen that Almighty God’s words are the truth; they possess authority and might and couldn’t be uttered by a human being. They are utterances that come from the Holy Spirit. I feel that Eastern Lightning must be the true way. However, some of the pastors and elders in religious circles say that if it is the true way, why is it so suppressed, persecuted, and condemned by the CCP? I’m not clear on this and want to do more seeking.

Yang Guang

Hello, Sister Yang Guang,

The understanding and experience you’ve gained from reading Almighty God’s words is entirely the Holy Spirit’s enlightenment and guidance—thanks be to God! But if we can’t see the CCP government’s essence of resisting God and being an enemy of the truth, we get confused when we hear the pastors and elders say things like that—that’s perfectly normal. The Lord Jesus once said, “Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and you shall find; knock, and it shall be opened to you” (Matthew 7:7). God is trustworthy, so as long as we genuinely seek He will enlighten and guide us so that we can understand the truth, and then the issue can be resolved. Below I’ve shared fellowship on our understanding of this confusion of yours; I hope it can help you.

The True Way Has Been Persecuted Since Ancient Times

Most pastors and elders in religious circles say things like, “If Eastern Lightning is the true way, why is it so oppressed, persecuted, and condemned by the CCP government?” What they mean by that is that if it is the true way, the Chinese government won’t do these things. Is this perspective in line with the truth, or in line with the facts of God’s work? Think back to when the Lord Jesus had just come into the world. King Herod heard from three wise men in the East that King of the Jews had been born. He was very afraid and unsettled, in fear that his throne would be taken from him, so he ordered that all male children within the vicinity of Bethlehem under two years of age should be slaughtered. And when the Lord Jesus appeared and began working, the Pharisees saw more and more of the Jewish believers were following Him, and out of fear for their status and living, they had Jesus arrested and sent him to the Roman prefect, Pilate. Pilate knew that the Lord Jesus hadn’t committed any crimes, but wanting to maintain his own rule and status, he cooperated with the Pharisees to have Jesus nailed to the cross. Clearly, those in power only treasure status and power; they have no love for the truth. Their essence is of hating God and the truth. From the time the Lord Jesus was born to when He officially began His work, He constantly suffered the condemnation and oppression of the ruling party and the Jewish leaders. Even His apostles and disciples were madly condemned, arrested, persecuted, and even martyred by the rulers and Pharisees when they were spreading the gospel of the heavenly kingdom. But now who would dare say that the Lord Jesus wasn’t the true God, that His work wasn’t the true way? Based on the outlook of the religious pastors and elders, shouldn’t the Lord Jesus’ work also be condemned? So, this speculation of theirs doesn’t remotely hold water and is nothing but a human notion and imagining. It runs entirely contrary to the truth and to God’s work—it’s an absurd viewpoint.

What Is Redemption

The mention of “Jesus’ Redemption” always fills us with gratitude to the Lord. Two thousand years ago, to redeem us from the hands of Satan, the Lord Jesus was crucified and sacrificed for the sins of humanity, thereby forgiving all our sins. When we sin, as long as we repent and confess our sins to the Lord, our sins are forgiven, and we enjoy peace and joy. But recently, some brothers and sisters have been confused: Although our sins are forgiven by the Lord, we have never been able to escape the bondage of sin, we often lie and deceive, we are stuck in the cycle of sinning and confessing, and we cannot keep the Lord’s teachings. The Bible clearly tells us, “For if we sin willfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remains no more sacrifice for sins” (Hebrews 10:26). We know clearly that we can sin involuntarily despite knowing our actions go against God’s will, and that if we merely repent without changing, the sacrifice for our sins is useless. Like this, can we truly be directly raptured into the kingdom of heaven when the Lord comes? But there are also some brothers and sisters who believe that although we often sin, the Lord has forgiven our sins and does not see us as sinners, and when the Lord returns, we will be raptured into the kingdom of heaven! So, will we be raptured into the kingdom of heaven? Let’s explore the issue together.

Brothers and sisters, first of all we must know that it is true that the Lord Jesus has forgiven our sins, but did the Lord Jesus say, “If people are forgiven, they can enter the kingdom of heaven?” Has the Holy Spirit testified this? If not, then this view is not in line with the truth, nor in the mind of God, but springs from the imagination of the human mind. The Bible tells us that Jehovah said, “You shall therefore be holy, for I am holy” (Leviticus 11:45). The Lord Jesus said, “Truly, truly, I say to you, Whoever commits sin is the servant of sin. And the servant stays not in the house for ever: but the Son stays ever” (John 8:34–35). God is holy and righteous, and God does not allow polluted and corrupt people to exist in His kingdom, so God requires that we escape sin and become pure. Only by being purified can we enter the kingdom of heaven. How could people such as us who constantly sin and resist God enter the kingdom of heaven?

Why Does Eastern Lightning Surge Forward With Unstoppable Progress?

The Lord Jesus said, “For as the lightning comes out of the east, and shines even to the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be” (Matthew 24:27). Since Eastern Lightning—Almighty God, Christ of the last days—appeared in China to perform His work, His kingdom gospel has spread across the whole of mainland China in just more than ten years. Now, it has spread to many western countries and regions, and it has shaken the various denominations to their core and sent ripples throughout the entire world. However, the most perplexing question for the leaders of the religious world is: Why is it that, although the pastors and elders in the religious world have done their utmost to resist, defame and condemn Eastern Lightning, stifle their churches and even gone so far as to collude with the CCP government to arrest and persecute the Christians in The Church of Almighty God, those believers from various denominations who have good humanity and who truly believe in the Lord accept and follow Almighty God one after another? Why is it that, though faced with the frantic resistance and persecution by the two arms of Satan’s forces—the CCP government and the religious world—not only has Eastern Lightning not been broken or worn down, but on the contrary it has continued to flourish and go from strength to strength, like shoots growing after rain, and has surged inexorably and irresistibly onward?

2019 Inspirational Devotion: What Is Entering Into Rest?

The Origin of Rest

It is recorded in the Bible, “And on the seventh day God ended His work which He had made; and He rested on the seventh day from all His work which He had made. And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it He had rested from all His work which God created and made” (Genesis 2:2–3). In the beginning, God used six days to create the heavens, the earth, and all things within, and on the seventh day, when the work of creation was complete, He rested. God created the ancestors of mankind, Adam and Eve, placed them in the Garden of Eden, and told them to keep His rules. Adam and Eve listened to God, obeyed Him, and lived under God’s care and protection. They suffered no illness or pain, and had no troubles or anxieties. They lived carefree lives in the garden, and enjoyed their rest with God.
