God’s Love Was With Me in the Devil’s Dark Prison

The Church of Almighty God is a new Christian church in China. Since its establishment in 1991, it has suffered frantic suppression at the hands of the CCP. Throughout 2019, the CCP maintained its comprehensive ban on all religious beliefs, and its persecution of The Church of Almighty God continued to escalate. According to incomplete statistics, in 2019, at least 32,815 CAG Christians were directly persecuted by the authorities simply because of their belief in Almighty God and their engagement in such normal church activities as attending gatherings and preaching the gospel. Among them, 6,132 members were arrested; 3,824 members suffered various forms of torture and forced indoctrination; at least 19 members died as a result of persecution. Due to the fact that all of the CCP’s operations to arrest and persecute Christians were carried out in secret, coupled with its tight controls over information, these data represent merely a portion of the persecution that actually occurred.

The Tabernacle of God Is With Men

God says, “The incarnation of God has sent shockwaves through all religions and spheres, it has ‘thrown into disarray’ the original order of religious circles, and it has shaken the hearts of all of those who yearn for the appearance of God. Who is not adoring? Who does not long to see God? God has personally been among man for many years, yet man has never realized it. Today, God Himself has appeared, and shown forth His identity to the masses—how could this not bring delight to man’s heart? God once shared joys and sorrows with man, and today He has been reunited with mankind, and shares tales of times gone by with him.”

How Should We Welcome the Lord When He Comes Knocking at the Door?

The Lord Jesus said, “Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and you shall find; knock, and it shall be opened to you” (Matthew 7:7).
Almighty God says, “Today, God has done new work. You may not be able to accept these words, and they may seem odd to you, but I would advise you not to expose your naturalness, for only those who truly hunger and thirst for righteousness before God can obtain the truth, and only those who are truly devout can be enlightened and guided by Him. Results are obtained by seeking the truth with sober tranquility, not with quarrel and contention. When I say that ‘today, God has done new work,’ I am referring to the matter of God’s returning to the flesh. Perhaps these words do not bother you; perhaps you despise them; or even perhaps they are of great interest to you. Whatever the case, I hope that all those who truly yearn for God to appear can face this fact and give it their careful scrutiny, rather than jump to conclusions about it; that is what a wise person should do.”

Judgment Has Begun in God’s Family

Judgment Has Begun in God’s Family

Aishen, America

I am a Christian. When I first started believing in God, I frequently heard sermons where people said, “The Lord Jesus is our Redeemer. He was nailed to the cross for our sins. Jesus is merciful and loving. As long as we frequently come before the Lord and confess our sins through prayer, our sins will be forgiven and when the Lord returns, we will be able to enter the kingdom of heaven.” Afterward, I noticed, when I read the Bible, many parts where the word “judgment” is mentioned. For example: “For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God” (1Pe 4:17). “Because he has appointed a day, in the which he will judge the world in righteousness by that man whom he has ordained” (Act 17:31). At the time, I did not understand what judgment meant. So, I went to ask the preacher. The preacher told me, “When the Lord returns, He will do the work of judgment to determine man’s sins. Since Jesus is the sacrifice for our atonement, our sins will be forgiven and we will not be convicted. Furthermore, those who spend and toil for the Lord will receive crowns in accordance with their contributions. There will be large and small crowns….” I did not quite understand what the preacher told me. I felt that this “crown” idea was very similar to the idea that seniority must be given priority in the secular world. My heart could not accept it.

I Finally Welcomed the Lord

Are you still waiting for the Lord’s return? A group of Christians who yearn for the return of the Savior have now greeted the Lord after seeking hard. Among them, some greet the Lord when they are looking for a way to being cleansed of their sins and entering into the kingdom of heaven; some understand the mystery of the name of God and thus welcome the Lord; some hear the voice of God and recognize that the Lord has returned and then they greet the Lord; etc. This precisely fulfills the words of the Lord Jesus: “My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me” (John 10:27).

75. Exactly what work will the Lord Jesus do when He returns in the last days?

Do You Know the Meaning of the Lord Jesus’ Resurrection and of His Appearance to Man?

Do you know what the first thing was the Lord Jesus intended to do after His resurrection? Why did He want to do that? What is the significance of the Lord Jesus appearing to man after He resurrected?

“The first thing that the Lord Jesus did after His resurrection was to allow everyone to see Him, to confirm that He exists, and to confirm the fact of His resurrection. In addition, it restored His relationship with the people to the relationship He had with them when He was working in the flesh, and He was the Christ they could see and touch. This way, one outcome is that the people had no doubt that the Lord Jesus had been resurrected from death after being nailed to the cross, and there was no doubt in the Lord Jesus’ work to redeem mankind. And another outcome is that the fact of the Lord Jesus appearing to people after His resurrection and allowing people to see and touch Him firmly secured mankind in the Age of Grace. From this time on, people could not return to the previous age, the Age of Law, because of the Lord Jesus’ “disappearance” or “desertion,” but they would continue forward, following the Lord Jesus’ teachings and the work He had done. Thus, a new phase in the work in the Age of Grace was formally opened up, and the people who had been under the law formally came out from the law from then on, and entered into a new era, with a new beginning. These are the manifold meanings of the Lord Jesus’ appearance to mankind after the resurrection” (The Word Appears in the Flesh).

What Is Redemption?

Two thousand years ago, the Lord Jesus incarnate walked among us and did a great deal of work such as bringing the way, “Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand,” curing people’s illnesses, casting out demons and doing many miraculous deeds; He also told people some realistic ways of practice such as loving their neighbors as themselves, forgiving others and so on. Finally, He was nailed to the cross in order to save mankind. God’s new work not only brought the blessings of grace and life sustenance to those living in sin, but also freed them from the condemnation and strictures of the law. In spite of the Pharisees’ mad opposition to and condemnation of the Lord Jesus, He was not held back by any forces and ultimately accomplished the work of redeeming all of mankind. Would you like to know the inside story of the Lord Jesus’ work of redemption? Do you want to understand the deeper meaning behind His work and words?

Pledging My Life to Devotion

God Has Made a Group of Overcomers Before the Great Tribulation

“And I looked, and, see, a Lamb stood on the mount Sion, and with him an hundred forty and four thousand, having his Father’s name written in their foreheads. And I heard a voice from heaven, as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of a great thunder: and I heard the voice of harpers harping with their harps: And they sung as it were a new song before the throne, and before the four beasts, and the elders: and no man could learn that song but the hundred and forty and four thousand, which were redeemed from the earth. These are they which were not defiled with women; for they are virgins. These are they which follow the Lamb wherever he goes. These were redeemed from among men, being the first fruits to God and to the Lamb” (Revelation 14:1–4).
