and You Cannot Be Lost

I
It is God's hope,
you can eat by yourself,
always in the light of His presence,
clinging to His every word.
Nestle yourself very close to God,
then you can always talk to Him,
He will help you not get lost.
He'll dispel your confusion
and keep you in His presence.
Just follow God's words
in all you do and say.
Saturated by God's word
in everything you do.
Just follow what He says
and He'll guide you forward.

Gospel Movie "Mission of Love" | Eastern Lightning

Li Mo believed in Jesus from childhood. When she was 16, she became a coworker of the house church and worked for the Lord zealously. However, the dissension in the church escalated and the believers’ faith and love became cold increasingly. The desolate scene made her fall into the distress and perplexity she had never had before. In 1999, she was fortunate to hear Almighty God’s gospel of the last days and finally met the Lord! She joyfully told the good news to the brothers and sisters who were still eagerly expecting the Lord’s coming in religion. Unexpectedly, she was slandered, insulted, driven away, beaten and abused…. In those years, she went to many places to preach the gospel, such as many counties and cities in Hebei Province and Sichuan Province. During that time, she underwent many persecutions from the religious world. Although she suffered a lot and ever became weak and passive, with Almighty God’s word leading her and God’s love encouraging her, she didn’t fear hardships and difficulties and went forward bravely. In such experience of sufferings, she saw clearly the religious world’s substance of being hostile to God, saw God’s substance of being righteous, holy, and beautiful and good, and even more deeply tasted God’s love and salvation, so that her life gradually grew up in adversity. It’s really glorious to be persecuted for righteousness!

Hymn
Welcoming Your Smiling Face
Appearing Before Me

I
You raised me from the dust
and into Your embrace.
You woke my heart from
the long and dark night's slumber.
Looking through my haze,
I see Your smiling face.
It draws my heart and my love.
Never dreamed I'd see Your face.
Such a blessing
has caught me by surprise.
Such a blessing
when I saw Your appearance.
For I am from the dust
and without any worth.
Yet the glorious Almighty God
has come to me face to face.
Quiet before You,
I listen when You talk.
Your words are gentle,
yet Your words are strong.
Judgment and chastisement
awaken my heart.
A love sincere and beautiful
that I'll always hold dear.
Your loveliness is beyond words.
It's wondrous!
Taken my heart, rousing my love too.
I've memorized Your every
lovely attribute.
It's my biggest wish
to give all my love to You.
Give all my love to You, to You.

31. I Am Unfit to See Christ

Since I first began believing in Almighty God, I have always admired those brothers and sisters who can receive the personal ministry of Christ, who can hear His sermons with their own ears. In my heart, I have thought how wonderful it would be if one day in the future I can hear Christ’s sermons, of course to see Him would be even more wonderful. But lately, through listening to His fellowship, I have come to feel deeply in my heart that I am not fit to see Christ.

Always Yearn for God's Love | Eastern Lightning

Hymn
Always Yearn for God's Love

I
I was once naive, ignorant in bliss;
I never knew it
until God awakened me.
How I ignored His word and His love;
now I can see how much I've missed.
I often regret the time I laid to waste,
dreaming away, day after day.
I paid no mind to what God had said,
with a deaf ear I had turned.
Oh God! It's Your word, it's Your love
that has awakened me from my sleep.
Oh how it fills my heart!
Oh God! It's Your word, it's Your love
that has awakened me from my sleep.
I always yearn for Your love.

A Hymn of God's Words
What God Makes Perfect Is Faith

I
Great faith, great love are required
of you in this stage of work.
You may stumble if you're careless,
for this work is not like before.
What God makes perfect
is the faith of mankind.
One cannot see it,
one cannot touch it.
God changes words
to faith, love and life.
What God makes perfect
is the faith of mankind.

Reflections on Being Replaced | Eastern Lightning

30. Reflections on Being Replaced

Yi Ran    Laiwu City, Shandong Province

Some time ago, owing to my not understanding the principle behind the church’s revision of personnel, when the church replaced a leader, a conception arose within me. From what I could see, the sister that was replaced was very good at both receiving and fellowshiping the truth, and could be open about her own expressions of corruption. So I could never get how someone who sought the truth so much could be replaced. Could it be that she talked about her own expressions of corruption too much, and so her leader mistakenly took her to be someone not in pursuit of the truth, and replaced her? If this is what really happened, then hasn’t a training opportunity for someone who was seeking the truth been ruined?
