Who Is My Lord | Christian Short Film "The Three Self Church Is My Umbrella"



One time, the Chinese Communist government captured many Christians of the Church of Almighty God from a particular location late at night. This matter caused a huge commotion locally. It triggered discussions amongst the members of the Three-Self Church. Some people believed that the Eastern Lightning has suffered the Chinese Communist government's cruel suppression and persecution. It is too dangerous to believe in the Eastern Lightning, and it is safest to believe in the Three-Self Church. They will not suffer hardships and they will be able to enter the heavenly kingdom. Other people believed that the Eastern Lightning is indeed the true way, but the persecution and arrest it faces is too severe. If they were to believe, they thought that it is better to believe in secret. Once the Chinese Communist government topples, they can believe openly in Almighty God. Some people had investigated the Eastern Lightning and yet, they believed that the Eastern Lightning spreads the gospel and bears witness to the Lord with no regard to life or death and that they are praised by God. They thought that the people who hide inside the Three-Self Church are cowardly people who drift through life without purpose and that they are not worthy to enter into the heavenly kingdom. … After this heated discussion, was everyone able to know what kind of people are praised by the Lord and whether the fearful can enter into the heavenly kingdom?

He had little choice—he had to send Wenya to her mother's house, but her mother was fully focused on running her business and didn't have any time to take care of Wenya, so she was often shuttled off to her relatives' and friends' homes to be fostered. After so many years of a life of foster care, young Wenya felt lonely and helpless, and longed for the warmth of a home.

A Turn for the Better on the Road of Believing in God

34. A Turn for the Better on the Road of Believing in God

  Although I had been following God for many years, I had made almost no progress with my entering into life, and this made me feel very anxious. Especially when I listened to a recording of a preaching about life entry, and heard the man used by the Holy Spirit talking to the brothers and sisters who were present and listening to the preaching, I felt filled with anxiety hearing him say this kind of thing, “You now believe in God and have tasted the sweetness of the pursuit of truth. You have started to enter onto the right track and are full of faith in your pursuit of salvation.” I thought, “These people have believed in God for such a short time but have already entered and are so full of faith about being saved. Yet here I am having so far believed in God and I still haven’t obtained the truth and my disposition in life has undergone no change whatsoever, never mind having entered onto the right track. To attain salvation is easier said than done!” I thought of how the above fellowshiped that the truth can resolve all of man’s corruptions, but I had never experienced this at all. I even felt that the truth could resolve other people’s corruptions but not my own, so I lost faith in my pursuit of the truth and of salvation. Although I was aware that my own condition was not right, there was no way I could escape it, so I could only cry to God for help. Afterward, His words enlightened me, causing me to see the reasons why I had believed in God for so many years yet had not progressed in life, and why my disposition had not undergone any change. God also set me on the path of practicing and entering the truth.

Hymn"God's Love"


1

In this ocean of people, who knows God becomes flesh in the last days?He walks in churches, speaking, doing His work, silently expressing the truth.He's humble and hidden.He does endure great humiliations.O God, You become flesh, suffer many hardships all for mankind's salvation.Why does man deny, reject You?O God, the truth You express is what man needs.The judgment and chastisement of Your words are love and blessings for man.The judgment and trials of God's words transform, save us, allow us to live like humans.God is worthy of man's love and eternal praise.Thanks for Your love, thanks for Your love, thanks for Your love, O God.

2

In this ocean of people, we're like a sand grain with none to care for us.We lived in sin and struggled painfully, fumbling in darkness with no direction.It was God who took heed of us, and it was God who lifted us up.We've been corrupted by Satan to the core, tainted like dirt and waste.Yet God has not forsaken us, instead He judges, chastises, and purifies, awakening my numb heart to a deep sense of His dearness, of His dearness and loveliness.The judgment and trials of God's words transform, save us, allow us to live like humans.God is worthy of man's love and eternal praise.Thanks for Your love, thanks for Your love, thanks for Your love, O God.

3

In the judgment of God's words,I see the deep corruption of mankind.The world is dark, man struggles with each other.The earth is in a miserable state.God's word is the true light, lighting up the dark world.We've seen the light of human life and the hope of mankind.The judgment and trials of God's words transform, save us, allow us to live like humans.God is worthy of man's love and eternal praise.Thanks for Your love, thanks for Your love, thanks for Your love, O God.

Pledging My Life to Devotion

By Zhou Xuan, Shandong Province

April 3, 2003 was the most unforgettable day of my life. I went with a sister to preach the gospel to a potential believer. Little did I expect that she had been deceived by the rumors spread by the CCP, and she reported us to the police. As a result, four plain-clothes police came and aggressively forced the two of us into their vehicle and took us to the police station. On the road, my heart was extremely nervous, because there was a pager, a list of names of some of the members from our church, and a notepad in my bag.

A Youth Spent Without Regret | Eastern Lightning

3. A Youth Spent Without Regret

Xiaowen, Chongqing

Love is a pure emotion, pure without a blemish. Use your heart, use your heart to love and feel and care. Love doesn’t set conditions or barriers or distance. Use your heart, use your heart to love and feel and care. If you love you don’t deceive, grumble, turn your back, look to get something in return” (“Pure Love Without Blemish” in Follow the Lamb and Sing New Songs). This hymn of God’s word once helped me get through the pain of a long and drawn-out life in prison that lasted 7 years and 4 months. Even though the CCP government deprived me of the most beautiful years of my youth, I have obtained the most precious and real truth from Almighty God and therefore have no complaints or regrets.

2. The Life Force That Can Never Be Extinguished

Dong Mei, Henan Province
I am an ordinary person. I lived in a run-of-the-mill life. Like many who yearn for the light, I tried lots of ways to search for the true meaning of human existence, attempting to give my life more significance. In the end, all my efforts were in vain. But after I was fortunate enough to accept Almighty God’s work of the last days, miraculous changes occurred in my life. It brought more color to my life, and I came to understand that only God is the true Provider of people’s spirits and lives, and only God’s words are the true meaning of human life. I was glad that I had finally found the right way of life. However, whilst performing my duty I was once illegally arrested and brutally tortured by the CCP government. From this, my life’s journey gained an experience that I’ll never forget …
