2021 English Christian Song | “Accept the Judgment of Christ of the Last Days to Be Purified”

Verse 1

 

You know Jesus shall descend during the last days,

but how exactly will He do this?

Can a sinner like you, who’s now redeemed

but not perfected, be after God’s heart?

For you, still of your old self, you were saved by Jesus,

not counted as a sinner because of God’s salvation.

Understanding the Necessity of God’s Incarnation Is Essential for Us to Welcome the Lord

Hearing some people testify that the Lord has returned, and that God has become flesh to do the work of judgment in the last days, some people feel puzzled: Why does God choose to become flesh to do the work of judgment? Couldn’t God’s Spirit do this work? On this issue, let’s take a look at what Almighty God says.

Almighty God says, “God became flesh because the object of His work is not the spirit of Satan, or any incorporeal thing, but man, who is of the flesh and has been corrupted by Satan. It is precisely because the flesh of man has been corrupted that God has made fleshly man the object of His work; moreover, because man is the object of corruption, God has made man the only object of His work throughout all the stages of His salvation work.

A Christian’s Experience: A Remarkable Job Hunt

By Xing Yue, Italy

“Hello, please can I ask whether your restaurant is hiring any staff at the moment?”“Can you speak a foreign language? Do you have work experience?”

“No, sorry, I don’t speak any foreign language and I don’t have any work experience.”

“In that case, I’m sorry. We need skilled workers, not interns at this time.”

When the telephone call ended, thoughts swirled through my mind: “Oh dear, this is the third call I’ve made today trying to find a job. If I can’t find a job, then I won’t be able to afford this month’s rent.”

In Praying for Employment, I Gain More Than Just a Job

By Jiejing, Japan

 

I’d long heard that Japan was a really good country to go to. After I arrived in Japan in April 2015 and saw that things were pretty good there and that the people were also very polite and amiable, I wished I could find a job and settle down in Japan even more.But then I heard someone I knew who already worked in Japan say that it was very hard for foreigners to find work there, and that it becomes much easier if one can get qualified as a real estate broker.

Daily Words of God | “The Savior Has Already Returned Upon a ‘White Cloud'” | Excerpt 45

When the Savior arrives during the last days, if He were still called Jesus, and were once again born in Judea, and did His work in Judea, then this would prove that I only created the people of Israel and only redeemed the people of Israel, and that I have nothing to do with the Gentiles. Would this not contradict My words that “I am the Lord who created the heavens and earth and all things”? I left Judea and do My work among the Gentiles because I am not merely the God of the people of Israel, but the God of all creatures. I appear among the Gentiles during the last days because I am not only Jehovah, the God of the people of Israel, but, moreover, because I am the Creator of all My chosen ones among the Gentiles.

2021 Gospel Testimony | I Have Seen My Pastor’s True Colors

The main character, Chen Qian, is a Christian who has always thought of the pastor and his wife as his spiritual parents. However, when he later accepts Almighty God’s work of the last days and happily shares the news of the Lord’s return with the pastor, he’s surprised to see that not only does the pastor not look into it at all, but instead repeatedly tries to harass Chen Qian to keep him from accepting the true way. The pastor even misleads other church members and incites them to reject Chen Qian.

Daily Words of God | “The Experiences of Peter: His Knowledge of Chastisement and Judgment” | Excerpt 526

Man lives amid the flesh, which means he lives in a human hell, and without God’s judgment and chastisement, man is as filthy as Satan. How could man be holy? Peter believed that chastisement and judgment by God was man’s best protection and greatest grace. Only through chastisement and judgment by God could man awaken, and hate the flesh, and hate Satan. God’s strict discipline frees man from the influence of Satan, it frees him from his own little world, and allows him to live in the light of God’s presence. There is not better salvation than chastisement and judgment! Peter prayed, “O God! As long as You chastise and judge me, I will know that You have not left me.

2021 English Christian Song | “God’s Love for Mankind Is True and Real”

ChorusGod’s love for mankind is mainly shown

in His work done in the flesh, done in the flesh,

in living and speaking face-to-face,

and personally saving them,

with no distance nor pretense,

while being true and real.

Christian Testimony: How to Maintain Friendships in the Face of Making a Profit

By Ye Qing, China

Monday, September 3, 2018 Clear sky

As of today, I’ve been working in the beauty parlor for a month. When I first started, the boss arranged for a girl named Xiao Jie to show me the ropes. She had a very upbeat personality, and she would tell me everything, whether it was things going on at home or problems she’d encountered at work, and we got to know each other pretty quickly. With Xiao Jie’s help, and through studying and training hard and learning from the strengths of my colleagues, my skills improved rapidly, and many customers began to ask for me personally. To express my thanks to Xiao Jie, I bought some make-up products and clothes just for her. We are becoming closer and closer, we confide in each other whenever we have an issue, and we’ve become friends that can say anything to each other. I’m so happy to have made such a good friend.

Wednesday, October 3, 2018 Overcast

I’ve now been at the beauty parlor for two months. Because my skills are improving all the time, more and more customers are asking for me, and I often promote our shop products to the customers and introduce them to our membership scheme. The shop pays its staff based on how much work they do, so the more customers I serve, the more commission I make. I’m really happy.

But for the past few days, my relationship with Xiao Jie hasn’t been as close as it used to be. Sometimes when a customer comes in for a haircut, I take the initiative and go greet them, but every time I go to fetch the customer some water, Xiao Jie steals the customer, and when I come back, she just says that the customer asked for her personally.

Xiaoping

This is an age when people care very much about physical attractiveness and a good looking body. With a beautiful face and a slim figure, I turned heads no matter what kind of clothes I wore. People around me often praised me and envied that I had both a great figure and a great face, and my husband was also very kind to me. Because of this, I was especially confident. No matter where I went, I walked with my head held high and my back straight. I displayed myself to receive praise from others. In my heart I believed: As long as a woman has a graceful figure and a pretty face, she could rewrite her own life.

Our Warning From the Pharisees’ Failure

By Minghui

The Lord Jesus said, “For judgment I am come into this world, that they which see not might see; and that they which see might be made blind” (John 9:39). “If you were blind, you should have no sin: but now you say, We see; therefore your sin remains” (John 9:41).Whenever I used to read these two verses during my spiritual devotions, I would always feel confused, and would think: “The Lord Jesus said, ‘that they which see not might see,’ and He said that blind people are without sin, whereas those who can see are actually blind and that they are blind sinners. What do these words spoken by the Lord Jesus really mean?

Daily Words of God | “The Vision of God’s Work (3)” | Excerpt 39

The Age of Grace began with Jesus’ name. When Jesus began to perform His ministry, the Holy Spirit began to testify to the name of Jesus, and the name of Jehovah was no longer spoken of; instead, the Holy Spirit undertook the new work principally under the name of Jesus. The testimony of those who believed in Him was borne for Jesus Christ, and the work they did was also for Jesus Christ. The conclusion of the Old Testament Age of Law meant that the work principally conducted under the name of Jehovah had come to an end.

Daily Words of God | “God Himself, the Unique X” | Excerpt 200

The Attitude God Requires That Mankind Should Have Toward HimIn fact, God is not very demanding of mankind—or at least, He is not as demanding as people imagine. Without God’s utterances, or any expression of His disposition, deeds, or words, then knowing God would be extremely difficult for you, for people would have to infer God’s meaning and intentions, which is very hard for them. But with regard to the final stage of His work, God has spoken many words, done a great amount of work, and made many requirements of man. In His words, and His great amount of work, He has informed people of what He likes, what He loathes, and what kind of people they should be.

Daily Words of God | “Only by Pursuing the Truth Can One Achieve a Change in Disposition” | Excerpt 556

Only by pursuing the truth can one achieve a change in disposition: This is something people must comprehend and understand thoroughly. If you do not have sufficient understanding of the truth, you will easily slip up and go astray. If you want to grow in life, you must seek the truth in everything. No matter what you are doing, you should seek out how to behave in order to be in line with the truth, and discover what taints exist within you that violate it; you must have a clear understanding of these things. Regardless of what you are doing, you should consider whether or not it has value.

Living Through Cruel Persecution Has Strengthened My Faith in God

By Zhao Rui, Shanxi Province

My name is Zhao Rui. Due to the grace of God, my entire family began following the Lord Jesus in 1993. In 1996, when I was sixteen, I was drawn in by the love of the Lord Jesus and began to work in the church and give sermons. However, not long after, I began to observe many things within the church which left me bitterly disappointed: Co-workers engaged in intrigue against each other, excluded each other, and vied for power and profit. It was as if the Lord’s teaching that we should love one another had long ago been forgotten.

God’s Light Guides Me Through Adversity

By Zhao Xin, Sichuan Province

When I was a child, I lived in the mountains. I’d never seen much of the world and I didn’t really have any greater aspirations. I got married and had children, my two sons grew up to be sensible and obedient, and my husband was a hard worker. Although we never had much money, we lived together in harmony as a family, and I felt very happy and content. In 1996, I suddenly developed a serious illness which led to me gaining faith in the Lord Jesus. From then on, I read the Bible frequently and actively attended church gatherings. To my surprise, my illness gradually began to get better, and so my faith to follow the Lord Jesus grew even stronger.

God Guides Me to Overcome the Demons’ Cruelty

By Wang Hua, Henan Province

My daughter and I are both Christians belonging to The Church of Almighty God. While we were following God, my daughter and I were both arrested and sentenced to reeducation through labor by the CCP government. I was sentenced to three years, and my daughter was sentenced to one year. Although I was subjected to inhuman persecution and harm by the CCP government, each time I found myself despairing and in danger, God was there, secretly watching over me, protecting me, and opening a way out for me.

Understanding the True Meaning of “But of That Day and Hour Knows No Man,” You Will Welcome the Lord

Today, we’d like to tell all of you who are yearning for the Lord’s return the good news: The Lord Jesus has already come secretly, and He is Almighty God, Christ of the last days. He has spoken words and done His work for 30 years. Many people, through seeking and investigating and listening to God’s voice, have confirmed that Almighty God is the returned Lord Jesus, and they have already welcomed the Lord. Hearing this news, you may feel both surprised and confused: “The Lord said, ‘But of that day and hour knows no man.’ How do you know that the Lord has returned?” In fact, the reason why you have such confusion is because you don’t understand the true meaning of the words of the Lord Jesus.

2021 Christian Testimony Video | “The Mystery of the Lord’s Return” | Gospel Testimony

The main character is a co-worker in her church who has believed in the Lord for years and has been eagerly awaiting the Lord’s return. Her pastor often says that when the Lord returns, He will appear on a cloud in His spiritual form, and any news of the Lord coming in the flesh is fake. She firmly believes this beyond any doubt. But one day, in a Bible study group, she hears someone testify that the Lord has returned in the flesh, that He’s expressing truths and doing the work of judgment beginning with the house of God. She gets her guard up and doesn’t dare look into it, but she’s also afraid of missing her chance to welcome the Lord’s coming.

2021 English Christian Song | “Obey God Become Flesh to Be Made Perfect”

God incarnate wants to gain those after His heart.Do not live in vagueness but obey His work.

Don’t be concerned with ideas of God in heaven

or make things for God in the flesh difficult.

Those who obey Him obey all of His plans.

Daily Words of God | “You Ought to Live for the Truth Since You Believe in God” | Excerpt 394

The greatest fault of man having faith in God is that his faith is in words only, and God exists not at all in his practical life. All men, indeed, believe in the existence of God, yet God is not a part of their everyday lives. Many prayers to God come from the mouth of man, but God has little place in his heart, and so God tries man again and again. As man is impure, God has no alternative but to try man, so that he may feel ashamed and come to know himself in the trials. Otherwise, man shall all become the children of the archangel, and become increasingly corrupt.

Daily Words of God | “The Age of Kingdom Is the Age of Word” | Excerpt 400

God is determined to make man complete. Whichever perspective from which He speaks, it is all for the sake of perfecting these people. Words spoken from the perspective of the Spirit are difficult for man to understand, and man is unable to find a path to practice, for man has a limited ability to receive. The work of God achieves different effects, and each step of the work has His purpose. Moreover, He must speak from different perspectives to perfect man. If He uttered His voice from the perspective of the Spirit alone, this stage of God’s work could not be completed.

The Judgment of the Great White Throne Has Begun

By Witri, Indonesia

After I found faith, I started learning how to pray and read the Bible and I did my utmost to follow the Lord’s words in daily life. Later, I watched lots of videos online about judgment in the last days. They mentioned this prophecy from Revelation: “And I saw a great white throne, and Him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them. And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works” (Revelation 20:11–12).

God’s Name Is Truly Mysterious

By Jack, Canada

Almighty God says, “In each age, God does new work and is called by a new name; how could He do the same work in different ages? How could He cling to the old? The name of Jesus was taken for the sake of the work of redemption, so would He still be called by the same name when He returns in the last days? Would He still be doing the work of redemption? Why is it that Jehovah and Jesus are one, yet They are called by different names in different ages? Is it not because the ages of Their work are different? Could a single name represent God in His entirety?

I Now Understand the Relationship Between the Bible and God

By Jean, Cameroon

Almighty God says, “For many years, people’s traditional means of belief (that of Christianity, one of the world’s three major religions) has been to read the Bible; departure from the Bible is not a belief in the Lord, departure from the Bible is heterodoxy and heresy, and even when people read other books, the foundation of these books must be the explanation of the Bible. Which is to say, if you believe in the Lord, then you must read the Bible, and outside the Bible you must not worship any book that does not involve the Bible.

Rising Up From Dark Oppression

By Mo Zhijian, China

Almighty God says, “In many places, God has prophesied that He will be gaining a group of overcomers in the land of Sinim. Since it is in the world’s East that overcomers are to be gained, so the place where God sets foot in His second incarnation is without a doubt the land of Sinim, the exact spot where the great red dragon lies coiled. There, God will gain the descendants of the great red dragon so that it is thoroughly defeated and shamed. God is going to awaken these people, heavily burdened with suffering, to rouse them till they are fully awake, and to make them walk out of the fog and reject the great red dragon.

Awakening Amidst Suffering and Difficulty

—A 17-Year-Old Christian’s True Experience of Persecution

By Wang Tao, Shandong Province

I am a Christian in The Church of Almighty God. I was the most fortunate among children of the same age, because I followed my parents in accepting Almighty God’s work of the last days at the age of eight. Although I was young at that time, I was quite happy to believe in God and read God’s word. By continuing to read God’s word and fellowship with older members of the church, after several years, I came to understand some of the truth. Particularly when I saw my brothers and sisters all pursuing the truth and working to be honest people, and saw everyone getting along peacefully, I felt that these were the happiest, most joyful times.

Till His management work is finished,God’s work has never ceased, He’s always been busy.

God has never halted, but mankind is different.

Having gained just a little of the Spirit’s work,

he treats it as if it will never change.

Can Hard Work Bring Entry to the Kingdom of Heaven?

By Sheila, Kenya

 

I was born into a Catholic family. Our priest always said we should follow God’s commandments, love each other, attend Mass, and do good deeds. He said only people who did these things were devout believers and when the Lord came He would take them up to the kingdom of heaven. I often told myself: “I must do as God says, follow all the church rules and actively do good deeds, so that the Lord will love me and when He returns He’ll bless me and take me up to His kingdom.”

The Mystery of God’s Names

By Zhencheng, United States

“Although Jehovah, Jesus, and the Messiah all represent God’s Spirit, these names only denote the different ages of God’s management plan, and do not represent God in His entirety. The names by which people on earth call God cannot articulate His entire disposition and all that He is. They are merely different names by which God is called during different ages. And so, when the final age—the age of the last days—arrives, God’s name shall change again. He shall not be called Jehovah, or Jesus, much less the Messiah—He shall be called the powerful Almighty God Himself, He shall be called the powerful Almighty God Himself, and under this name He shall bring the entire age to an end, and under this name He shall bring the entire age to an end” (Follow the Lamb and Sing New Songs).

Listening to God’s Voice and Welcoming the Lord

By Muguang, South Korea

Almighty God says, “Many people may not care what I say, but I still want to tell every so-called saint who follows Jesus that, when you see Jesus descend from the heaven upon a white cloud with your own eyes, this will be the public appearance of the Sun of righteousness. Perhaps that will be a time of great excitement for you, yet you should know that the time when you witness Jesus descend from the heaven is also the time when you go down to hell to be punished.

I Now Know God’s New Name

By Zhao Xin, China

I believed in the Lord and attended gatherings with my parents since I was small, so I went to a Christian college after high school. During one class, the pastor said to us, “Chapter 13, verse 8 of Hebrews states, ‘Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever.’ The Lord Jesus is the one and only Savior. His name will never change, no matter the age. Only by trusting in the Lord Jesus’ name may we be saved….” After I heard this, I strongly believed that we could only be saved by keeping the Lord Jesus’ name, and that we could never deny His name. Outside of class, I took an active part in fellowship, Bible study and gospel groups.

2021 Christian Testimony Video | “The Agony of an Online Game Addiction” | A True Christian Story

Gao Qiang is a Christian in The Church of Almighty God who becomes addicted to online games while at college, and ends up more and more degenerate and depraved. He not only neglects his studies, but also grows farther and farther from God. By reading Almighty God’s words, he clearly sees that online games are one of Satan’s tactics to harm and corrupt people, to strip them of their normal humanity, to drive them to stray from God and betray God so that Satan can ultimately devour them. He prays and repents to God, and leans on God to give up gaming. Finally, he is freed from the pain brought about by his online gaming addiction.

Job Blesses the Name of God and Does Not Think of Blessings or Disaster

There is a fact which is never referred to in the Scriptures’ stories of Job, which will be our focus today. Although Job had never seen God or heard the words of God with his own ears, God had a place in Job’s heart. And what was Job’s attitude toward God? It was, as previously referred to, “blessed be the name of Jehovah.” His blessing of God’s name was unconditional, unqualified, and without reason.

Spending the Prime of Youth in Prison

By Chenxi, Hebei Province

 

Everyone says the prime of our youth is the most splendid and purest time of life. Perhaps for many, those years are full of beautiful memories, but what I never would have expected was that I spent the prime of my own youth in prison. You might think me strange for this, but I do not regret it. Even though that time behind bars was full of bitterness and tears, it was the most precious gift of my life, and I gained a great deal from it.

The CCP Government’s Harsh Persecution Only Strengthens My Love for God

By Li Zhi, Liaoning Province

In the year 2000, I was fortunate enough to hear the kingdom gospel of Almighty God. By reading God’s words, I came to understand the mystery of God’s names, the mystery of God’s incarnations, and the truths regarding things such as how God’s three stages of work save mankind, and how they thoroughly change, purify and perfect man. I became certain that Almighty God is the Lord Jesus returned, and I gladly accepted God’s kingdom gospel. After that, I actively joined in with the church life, and with spreading the gospel and bearing witness for God.

God’s Love Has Fortified My Heart

By Zhang Can, Liaoning Province

In my family, everyone has always gotten along very well. My husband is a very considerate and caring man, and my son is very sensible and always respectful to his elders. What’s more, we’ve been pretty affluent. In theory, I should have been very happy, but reality didn’t play out that way. No matter how well my husband and son treated me and no matter how well off we were, none of that could make me happy. I was never able to sleep at night because I developed arthritis and also suffered from severe insomnia, which led to reduced blood circulation to my brain and overall weakness in my limbs. The torment of these illnesses combined with the constant pressure of running a business caused me to live in unspeakable suffering.

Guided by God’s Words, I Overcame the Repression of the Forces of Darkness

 

By Wang Li, Zhejiang Province

 

I believed in the Lord Jesus along with my mother since I was a little girl; in my days of following the Lord Jesus, I was often moved by His love. I felt that He loved us so much that He was crucified and shed His very last drop of blood to redeem us. At that time, the brothers and sisters in our church were all loving and supportive of one another, but unfortunately our faith in the Lord met with persecution and repression at the hands of the CCP government.

Who Is the Main Culprit Causing Depression?

Editor’s Note: In recent years, depression has snuck into our lives, affecting more and more people. Many are tormented by this disease—some lose their hope in life and live in pain, and some even lose their courage to go on living, choosing to commit suicide to end their own lives. Why is it that people experience depression? How should we deal with it, and how can we get out of the trap of depression?

Long-term moderate or severe depression can become a serious condition, and at its worst, can lead to suicide.

What Can We Learn From God Telling Adam to Name the Animals?

What is Christian devotion? How can we practice spiritual devotions to have a closer relationship with God and grow in life more quickly? Read this article and you will find the answers.

By Lin Li

The Bible says: “And out of the ground Jehovah God formed every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air; and brought them to Adam to see what he would call them: and whatever Adam called every living creature, that was the name thereof. And Adam gave names to all cattle, and to the fowl of the air, and to every beast of the field” (Genesis 2:19–20). Whenever I read these verses, I always thought: Adam named all the livestock animals, all the birds and all the beasts of the field.

What Is God’s Will Behind the Parable of the Lost Sheep?

By Xiaoqing, China

Editor’s Note: I trust everyone’s familiar with the parable of the lost sheep in the Bible. The Lord Jesus used this parable to very vividly tell us about God’s love for mankind and to allow us to feel how sincere God’s desire to save mankind is. But does everyone know what God’s will behind this parable is? At a Bible study there were a few brothers and sisters who finally understood this through fellowship—let’s take a look together.

Daily Bible Reading: What Warning Does the Lord Jesus Not Keeping the Sabbath Day Hold for Us?

By Li Qing, China

Early one morning, as I was practicing my spiritual devotions, I saw this written in the Bible: “At that time Jesus went on the sabbath day through the corn; and his disciples were an hungered, and began to pluck the ears of corn and to eat. But when the Pharisees saw it, they said to him, Behold, your disciples do that which is not lawful to do on the sabbath day. But he said to them…. But I say to you, That in this place is one greater than the temple. But if you had known what this means, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice, you would not have condemned the guiltless. For the Son of man is Lord even of the sabbath day” (Matthew 12:1–3, 6–8). After reading this passage, I fell into deep thought: “In the Age of Law, Jehovah instructed the common people to keep the Sabbath.
