Testimony of Faith - Salvation from Death’s Grasp | Eastern Lightning

Salvation from Death’s Grasp

She was sentenced to death by doctors, family members, and neighbors, and at the end of her life, she heard the voice of God. Instead of dying, she regained her life force with renewed vitality.

By Feng Mei

The sun shone brightly on the earth, giving it a golden coat. In a small farmhouse, a thick curtain blocked its arrival. The scene of a wistful room and the world outside the window is so contrary.

Quietly in the room, Feng Mei lay paralyzed in bed, her waxy face without the slightest color. Her body looked like a thin skin attached to a skeleton. It seemed painful to touch her skin with your hands.

Thank the almighty and one true God! I have followed God for 11 months since July, 2016. In the past 11 months, I have experienced much of God’s love, which made me grow under His care and protection. In the period I have also experienced trials, refinements, chastisements, and judgments. Bit by bit, I truly perceive that God’s disposition is not only merciful and loving, but also majestic and wrathful. However, no matter what God does, it is all to transform and perfect me ultimately. Thank God for His salvation!

Almighty God’s Work Has Caused Us to Walk the Same Path as Husband and Wife

Almighty God’s Work Has Caused Us to Walk the Same Path as Husband and Wife

Liu Xue, Henan Province

    In 1991, since we were enduring the hardships of family conflict, my husband and I believed in the Lord Jesus together. From then on, we no longer quarreled. We read the Bible and attended gatherings together very zealously. Not long afterward, my husband left the Three-Self Church and switched over to the Stream of Recovery. In regards to the matter of my husband switching denominations, I did not mind. I believed that as long as we believed in one God, it did not matter which denomination we belonged to.

It is made up of all those who accept Almighty God's work in the last days and are conquered and saved by His words. It was entirely founded by Almighty God personally and is led by Him as the Shepherd. It was definitely not created by a person. Christ is the truth, the way, and the life. God's sheep hear God's voice. As long as you read the words of Almighty God, you will see God has appeared.

How to Know God’s Righteous Disposition Though His Words? | Eastern Lightning

How to Know God’s Righteous Disposition Though His Words?

Through God’s fellowship on “it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, neither in the world to come,” this article allows us to have a true understanding of this saying, and to see the righteousness, majesty, and intolerance of offense in God’s disposition, so that we can take a grave warning from the Pharisees’ being cursed by God owing to their blasphemy against God, and reflect on ourselves what manner of attitude we should have to the Lord’s return.

By Xinzhi

Whenever I read these words that the Lord Jesus said to curse the Pharisees, “But woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites” (Matthew 23:13), and “All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven to men: but the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost shall not be forgiven to men. And whoever speaks a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but whoever speaks against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, neither in the world to come” (Matthew 12:31-32), though I knew that it is because the Pharisees’ actions and deeds drew the ire of God and made God hate them to the extreme that God pronounced such curses upon them, I was still confused: Since God detested the Pharisees so much, why isn’t it recorded in the Bible how He punished them? And how is the saying of God “it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, neither in the world to come” fulfilled? This made me feel confused all the time.
