Almighty God Is the Returned Jesus

2. Almighty God Is the Returned Jesus

Wang Yang

Guichi City, Anhui Province

I was formerly a leader of the Justification by Faith Church in the city of Guichi. Before I accepted Almighty God’s work of the last days, I, like all brothers and sisters, had been eagerly expecting the Lord Jesus’ coming again. But because of the constant “warnings” from the senior leader above and the biblical verse that there will surely appear many false Christs in the last days, I became one who resisted and condemned God’s work of the last days. Thinking of these, I feel very guilty. Now, I will tell brothers and sisters my personal experience, hoping that brothers and sisters will learn a lesson from it and come back to God’s family soon.

Job’s Unshakable Integrity Brings Shame Upon Satan and Causes It to Flee in Panic

And what did God do when Job was subjected to this torment? God observed, and watched, and awaited the outcome. As God observed and watched, how did He feel? He felt grief-stricken, of course. But, as a result of His grief, could He have regretted His permission to Satan to tempt Job? The answer is, No, He could not have. For He firmly believed that Job was perfect and upright, that he feared God and shunned evil. God had simply given Satan the opportunity to verify Job’s righteousness before God, and to reveal its own wickedness and contemptibility.

God’s Work, God’s Disposition, and God Himself II (Part Three)

God’s Work, God’s Disposition, and God Himself II (Part Three)

From the beginning until today, only man has been capable of conversing with God. That is, among all living things and creatures of God, none but man has been able to converse with God. Man has ears that enable him to hear, and eyes that let him see, he has language, and his own ideas, and free will. He is possessed of all that is required to hear God speak, and understand God’s will, and accept God’s commission, and so God confers all His wishes upon man, wanting to make man a companion who is of the same mind with Him and who can walk with Him. Since He began to manage, God has been waiting for man to give his heart to Him, to let God purify and equip it, to make him satisfactory to God and loved by God, to make him revere God and shun evil. God has ever looked forward to and awaited this outcome. Are there any such people among the records of the Bible? That is, are there any in the Bible capable of giving their hearts to God? Is there any precedent before this age? Today, let us continue reading the accounts of the Bible and take a look at whether what was done by this figure—Job—has any connection to the topic of “giving your heart to God” that we’re talking about today. Let us see whether Job was satisfactory to God and loved by God.

English Christian Movie | Do You Know the Mystery of the Name of God | "God's Name Has Changed?!"

Introduction

Her name is Wang Hua, and she is a house church preacher in Southern China. After she began to believe in the Lord, she found in the Bible that God was called Jehovah in the Old Testament, and was called Jesus in the New Testament. Why does God have different names? Wang Hua was extremely puzzled about this. She tried to find the answer in the Bible, but failed to grasp the mystery…. But she firmly believed that there is none other name under heaven given among men, so Jesus alone is the Savior, and that so long as we held on to the name of Jesus, we would surely be raptured into the kingdom of heaven. Yet one day, Wang Hua heard some shocking news: God's name has changed! After that, her heart could no longer remain calm …

Christian Short Sketch "A Warning From History" (English Skit)

Introduction

Two thousand years ago, when the Lord Jesus appeared and worked, the Pharisees clung to the laws and condemned His work, saying that His work went beyond the Scriptures. To protect their status and livelihood, they strove with all their might to stop people from seeking the Lord Jesus' work, and joined forces with the Roman government to nail Him to the cross. In the last days, as the Lord Jesus again appears in the flesh to do work, the leaders of the religious world repeat the historical tragedy of the Pharisees' resistance of Lord Jesus. How do they resist God's work of the last days? Through a pastor acting a Pharisee in a performance, this skit exposes how modern pastors and elders hold on to the Bible to resist God, and shows clearly that the path they walk is exactly the same as that of the Pharisees.

How to Know God’s Disposition and the Result of His Work (Part Four)

Understand God’s Attitude and Drop All Misconceptions of God

This God that you currently believe in, have you ever thought about what kind of God He is? When He sees an evil person doing evil things, does He despise it? (He despises it.) When He sees the mistakes of ignorant people, what is His attitude? (Sadness.) When He sees people stealing His offerings, what is His attitude? (He despises them.) This is all very clear, right? When He sees someone being careless in their belief in God, and in no way seeking after the truth, what is God’s attitude? You’re not totally clear on this one, right?

It was a brilliantly sunny day in March. Since my sick leave was coming to an end and I was seldom at leisure, I took my cellphone, a bottle of mineral water, and along a winding path I started to climb the mountain located in the east side of the city. As I climbed while listening to the music, I became breathless. The mountain looked not very high, but it took me over an hour to reach the summit.

    Afterward, I returned to China. My wife took me to a sister’s house where brothers and sisters again preached the kingdom gospel of Almighty God to me. I thought to myself: Since I’ll have to face this sooner or later, today I’d like to listen to what has really been preached in Eastern Lightning. Meantime, I constantly prayed to the Lord silently, asking Him to protect my heart. Brother Hu said to me: “Brother Zhang, I heard that your wife has testified to you the kingdom gospel of Almighty God. If there is anything you don’t understand, you can bring it up; then we could seek and fellowship it together.” I said bluntly: “You say that God has been incarnated again to express the truth and do the work of judgment in the last days; I disagree with such a saying. All of God’s words and work are recorded in the Bible; the truths in the Bible are already complete; there is no need for God to return to do a new work or express new words. I can’t accept the kingdom gospel you witness.”

    When getting my doctorate in 2003, I alone went overseas, and was engaged in scientific research as a visiting scholar for a university. Afterward, I accepted the Lord Jesus in local Chinese church. I was immersed in the love of the Lord, like a kid who had wandered for years finally returned to his mother’s embrace. From then on, I hungrily read the Bible and evangelical materials, watched evangelical movies, listened to sorts of recordings of preaching, and actively participated in all kinds of church activities, such as attending the meetings, Bible study groups, and prayer meetings, handing out evangelical leaflets, and so on. I eagerly sent my wife the news that I had faith in the Lord, believing that she would be happy as we finally share the same belief. Those years, she had always preached the gospel of the Lord to me, while I had never taken it seriously, so we often ended up parting on bad terms. As expected, she was extremely pleased after knowing my faith in the Lord, and said she wanted to see me as soon as possible and listen to my testimonies.

“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.

    A little goldfish was with his friends, but he thought everyone didn’t suit his book. So he left his friends quietly and went elsewhere. On his way, he met a frog who asked him in some perplexity, “Where are you going alone? Why do you leave your companions?” “Don’t mention them. Each of them all has lots of problems. They are too hateful and I don’t want to play with them anymore.” he said angrily. After hearing this, the frog said, “You’d better reflect on yourself and solve your own problems first! Or anywhere is all the same to you.”

    On the morning of March 3, 1985 of Chinese traditional calendar, all my family were happily busy with my son’s wedding at home when the local ruffian Gao, a policeman of the Town Police Station, walked into my home. He haughtily showed me the arrest warrant, on which said “Illegal gathering. Illegal preaching.” He said to me: “Today, we finally catch you. Come with me to the police station. Our cars are waiting for you at the entrance of the village.” With these words, he pushed me outside. I said: “As you see, there are so many guests at my home. If I leave, what will my family do?” Gao smiled coldly, saying, “Stop talking nonsense. Go quickly. Since we couldn’t catch you in ordinary days, we take this opportunity to arrest you.” At that moment, the people started talking, saying: “Today is a great and joyous day. How can the policeman take him away? How come this wedding ceremony goes on?”

Christian Debate: Why Bible Isn’t Inspired by God?

Christian Debate: Why Bible Isn’t Inspired by God?

April 6, 2018

By Xiaocaof

Pondering in silent night:

Brothers and sisters, is everybody here? Here’s a question I really can’t figure it out. Today I want to seek your understanding of it.

In 2 Timothy 3:16, Brother Paul said, “All scripture is given by inspiration of God.” I, as well as many brothers and sisters, think that all words in the Bible are given by inspiration of God and they are all God’s words, and we never doubt it. However, recently when I read the Bible, I found some contradictions in it unexpectedly. The Bible says: “Jehoiachin was eight years old when he began to reign, and he reigned three months and ten days in Jerusalem” (2 Chronicles 36:9). But it also says: “Jehoiachin was eighteen years old when he began to reign, and he reigned in Jerusalem three months” (2 Kings 24:8). From the two verses we can see 2 Chronicles says it was at eight that Jehoiachin began to reign while 2 Kings says it was at eighteen. What’s more, 2 Chronicles says he reigned three months and ten days while 2 Kings says he reigned three months. If all the words in the Bible are God’s words and given by inspiration of God, then one thing should be recorded the same, and there should be no contradictions. Why are there different versions of the same thing? I am confused whether or not the Bible is given by inspiration of God now.

Eastern Lightning | Have Firm Love for God in Heavy Persecution and Adversity（2)

By Gao Min, China

    At that time, not only were my families monitored and criticized one by one, but the government even let go of me, a little child. I was studying in a civilian-run primary school and my school records were among the best in my class, but I was never given medals or red scarfs. Not only that, but the Red Guards said in an exasperated tone, “You’re a Christian child. Still think you can wear the red scarf? No way!” Hearing this word, I wept tears of misery. After coming back home, I asked my mom why. She said, “Silly child. It doesn’t matter whether you have the red scarf or not. It’s enough for us to believe in the Lord Jesus. If we gain the Lord’s approval, we’ll live in the kingdom of heaven. That can’t be exchanged for any material things.” Seeing my mother’s pious face, I agreed and nodded.

Gospel Movie clip "My Dream of the Heavenly Kingdom" (3) - Where Exactly Is the Heavenly Kingdom?

Introduction

The greatest wish of us who believe in the Lord is to welcome the return of the Lord, to be brought into the heavenly kingdom, and receive the promise and blessings of God. Most people believe that when the Lord returns, we will be lifted in the air to meet with the Lord. But in the Bible, it is said that the New Jerusalem will descend from heaven. "The tabernacle of God is with men," "The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ." Is the heavenly kingdom in the sky or on earth? How will the Lord take the saints into the heavenly kingdom when He returns?
