With God’s Words, I’m No Longer Afraid of Persecution

With God’s Words, I’m No Longer Afraid of Persecution

By Chencao, Italy

“Sister Wei, something’s happened! Shortly after you left, the police surrounded our meeting place and all the brothers and sisters were arrested except us three. What should we do?” Hearing this news, and looking at the expression of panic and fear in the sisters’ faces, my heart was also pounding, worry and fear welling up in my mind. Not knowing how the CCP police would spite and torment these arrested brothers and sisters, I hastened to pray to the Lord with the sisters, asking the Lord to guide them and to protect and strengthen each brother’s and sister’s heart, so that we could rely on the Lord in persecution and tribulation to bear testimony for Him.

Christian’s Marriage: God Give Me An “Imperfect” Husband

May 4, 2018

By Xiaofang

    I, who was over 20, set feet on the work-life road and began to find my better half. I always heard my female colleagues said, “If I wish to get a husband, I’ll find such a nice man as Master Zhang, who plays first fiddle either at home or in the company. He is not only a money-earner who has great skill, but also an amiable person who has a good temper. In the company, he is highly spoken of by others, and at home, he is considerate of and takes good care of his wife and undertakes the housework. One who gets such a husband will enjoy the blessing all this life.” I ever heard my friends who had gotten married said, “If you find the right man, you will be happy in the rest of life. If not, then just wait to be subject to suffering.” Hearing these hearty words of those who had come away from marriage, I hoped that I could find a model husband who had all the strengths. Meanwhile, I set a standard of choosing a spouse for myself: He must be capable, talkative, honest and dutiful as well as success in making money.

Review: From “God’s Not Dead” to “The Lies of Communism”

By Cheng Qi, Japan

“The believers in God and the unbelievers are two kinds of people, walking two different paths, and one side isn’t able to change the other side. As for the CCP’s Marxism-Leninism and Communism, little do the communists believe them. Nevertheless with them we convert the believers in God. This is absolutely impossible!” These are the lines of the director of the brainwashing course in the Christian film “The Lies of Communism,” a film which was widely shared online last month. These words are brilliantly insightful and incisively attack the social situation.

Different Viewpoints, Constant Conflicts

    I am a typical housewife, a good wife and a loving mother, I take good care of my husband and children, I’m hardworking and thrifty in running my household, and I’ve never recklessly spent my money. But something unimaginable happened to me. My son married a fashionable girl who really loved to have fun and dress up and follow the trends of the world. She pursued and purchased whatever was popular in the world, she threw away money by the handful, and however much she made each month was however much she spent. Since there was such a huge difference in our ways of thinking and living, my daughter-in-law and I often would be at loggerheads, we got into angry arguments, and our problems continued to get more and more intense.

    Early in the morning, my husband woke me up as I was still in my sleep. “Did you turn on Wi-Fi network last night?” asked he anxiously. “No. Why?” said I with clouded eyes. “It must be our child who did it. I shut it off last night before I went to bed. But when I got up in the morning, I found it available. Since you didn’t, it was he.” My husband sputtered. On hearing that, I suddenly sat up, saying, “No wonder he goes to bed early every night. It turned out that he secretly surfed the Internet on the cellphone.” My husband was so angry that he walked round and round the room, and said, “No wonder his examination score has gone down recently. Now I finally discover the reason.” I also got so tensed up, thinking: “The child inherently is in poor health. I don’t know till what time he stays up every night.” As my husband walked out of the bedroom, he said fiercely, “Today I have to fix the kid sharply.” Hearing that, I hurried after him. After rushing in our son’s bedroom, my husband woke him up and asked in a loud voice, “Do you stay up late and play with your cellphone secretly every night?” With those words, he made a movement as if to hit the child. I stopped him quickly and said, “Please calm down!” The child rapidly slid from the bed as soon as he realized that something was wrong.

     God says, “To build a good relationship with God is a top priority for anyone believing in God; everyone should treat it as the most important task and as their major life event. Everything you do should be weighed against whether or not you have a normal relationship with God” (“How Is Your Relationship With God”).

    In God’s word, we can see that it’s quite important to have a proper relationship with God. So how can we achieve that?

    On the fourteenth day of the twelfth lunar month in 2015, my wife and I did our laundry in nice weather. When night fell and my wife was just about to have a rest, I suddenly found that she was sweating all over and looked uncomfortable, so I hurriedly took her to a private clinic nearby. After the doctor gave her a careful checkup and made a diagnosis, he said, “Your wife has an acute coronary heart disease. I will prescribe her some medicine and give her an injection, and see if it works. If she doesn’t get better, you have to transfer her to the hospital in time.” Hearing the doctor’s words, I was all in a tremble. I thought, “My wife is seriously ill. Many people died soon after they had this disease. Will my wife lose life too?” Thinking of this, I agreed with the doctor’s suggestion at once.

Confessions of a Happy Model

April 17, 2018

By Ganzhi, the United States

    When I was young, my mother often taught me to sing hymns that praised God. As we sang the songs, she also taught me to dance, and my nine-year-old little brother would always joyfully join us. At that time, although my family was poor and we could only live in an adobe house, I was really happy. One time, my mother went out to spread the gospel and didn’t return when it was late. I felt scared at hearing the rustling leaves in the wind outside my house. But thinking of my mother’s words that I could pray to God when I feared, I hurriedly prayed to God and read God’s words. Gradually, I was not scared, feeling that God was protecting me by my side. On ordinary occasions, I also prayed to God whatever I met; for example, when I passed by cemeteries on my way to school, as soon as I prayed to God, I was unafraid. Additionally, I had been introverted and reticent, but ever since I believed in God with my mother, I had endless words that I would speak to the uncles and aunties who were also believers in God, and either happy or unhappy things, I would. At that time, I had God as my reliance, and felt great happiness in my heart.

    I inadvertently saw a poem called “God Asked Me to Take a Snail for a Walk” on my computer. It said: “God gave me a task, asking me to take a snail for a walk. I couldn’t walk too fast. The snail had tried its best to climb, but it could only move a bit every time. I rushed it, scared it, and scolded it. It looked at me in apology, as if saying ‘I have tried my best.’ I pulled it, I dragged it, and even wanted to kick it. The snail was hurt, but it still breathlessly crawled forward with sweat. It was strange! I wondered why God made me walk with a snail? Oh, God! Why? …” When reading this poem, I couldn’t help but remember that because I was controlled by the viewpoint of being highly ambitious for the children, I took some measures for raising my daughter to be talented, and making her get ahead and gain family prestige in the future, and that I brought some harm and pain to both of us.

    Zheng Weiguo (Minister of a municipal United Front Work Department): I have been working for the United Front for many years, and I have studied various religious beliefs.

According to CCP documents, The Church of Almighty God does not belong to Christianity at all.

How to Change Distress Into Joy in Life?

By Jingxin, the United States

    On June 23, 2015, I came to America. Before going abroad, I had dreamed that the environment and various aspects of life in America should be very good, and in the future, I would live a comfortable life. Nonetheless, when I arrived, I felt very disappointed about my living environment. In an apartment lived eight households, and we shared a kitchen and a bathroom. What’s more, what I couldn’t bear the most was that almost nobody did the cleaning here and that the apartment was a mess. Seeing all this, in a flash I had a feeling of falling from the sky to the ground. In China, I lived alone in a 60-square-meter home. Although it was not large, it was comfortable and capacious for me to live alone in that house. The more I thought, the more I was unwilling to stay here. However, I couldn’t come back to China, because I had to stay here to look after my husband. Therefore, I had to continue to live here regardless of how bad the environment was. Having no choice, I had to do the cleaning, such as cleaning the stool and bathtub, mopping the floor, cleaning the kitchen and throwing away the garbage…. From then on, I did the cleaning all the time. If I didn’t do it, no one would do it. If I did it, I would feel choked in my heart. I was really upset.

The River Is Also Orchestrated Within God’s Hands

 By Xizhen

     I’m Xizhen and seventy-five years old this year. In August 2016 I was fortunate to accept God’s salvation of the last days. After believing in God, as long as I was at leisure, I would gather medicinal herbs to earn money instead of paying attention to reading God’s word. It had been almost one year since I believed in God, but I still didn’t know the meaning of believing in God. God still had mercy on me, though. In an accident, when my life was at stake, God marvelously protected me from the danger. As a result, I truly felt God’s great power and, from the bottom of my heart, I was ascertained that the God I believed in was the One worthy of being pursued.
