Hymns of God’s Words | "The Transcendence and Greatness of the Almighty"

Verse 1

Fast as lightning, this world can change

always by God’s thoughts, always by God’s watch.

Things will come, things man never dreamed.

What they’ve long had may slip away.

Hymns of God's Word | God Will Restore the Former State of Creation

With His words going deep, God watches the universe.

All creations are made new based on the words of God.

Heaven’s changing, earth is too, man is showing what he really is.

When God created the world, all things were after their kind,

so was everything with a visible form.

English Gospel Song | "Who Is Capable of Knowing God When He Comes?"

Intro In God’s eyes, man is the ruler of all things. God has given them lots of authority, allowing them to manage all things on earth, grass on mountains, creatures in woods, fish in the seas.

Verse 1 Yet instead of all this making man happy, man is beset by lots of anxiety. Their whole life’s filled with anguish, rushing about. Nothing’s new, and fun adds to what is empty.

The Word of Almighty God | Chapter 13

Hidden within the proclamations of My voice are a number of My intentions. But man knows and understands nothing of these, and keeps receiving My words from the outside and following them from the outside, without being able to realize My heart or intuit My will from within My words. Even if I have made My words clear, has anyone understood? From Zion I came into mankind.

Knowing God's Will | Chapter 4

To stop all people having their heads turned and getting carried away after their transition from negative to positive, in the last chapter of God’s utterance, once God has spoken of His highest requirements of His people—once God has told people of His will in this stage of His management plan—God gives them the opportunity to ponder His words, to help them make up their minds to satisfy God’s will in the end. When people’s conditions are positive, God immediately begins to ask people questions about the other side of the issue.

Chapter 8

When My revelations reach their peak, and when My judgment draws to an end, it will be the time when all My people are revealed and made complete. My footsteps tread across all corners of the universe world in perpetual search of those who are after My own heart and fit for My use. Who can stand up and cooperate with Me? Man’s love of Me is too meager and his faith in Me is pitifully small. If the brunt of My words was not directed at man’s weaknesses, he would boast and exaggerate, and would pontificate and concoct high-sounding theories, as if he was omniscient and all-knowing about matters upon the earth. Who still dares to boast among those who were loyal to Me in the past, and who today stand fast before Me? Who is not secretly delighted by their own prospects? When I did not expose directly, man had nowhere to hide and was tormented by shame. How much worse would it be when I speak through other means? People would have an even greater sense of indebtedness, they would believe that nothing could cure them, and would all be tightly bound by their passiveness.

Classic Words on Knowing God Himself, the Unique

(I) Classic Words on God’s Authority

1. God Himself is authority, His authority symbolizes the supremacy and substance of God, and the authority of God Himself represents the status and identity of God.

from “God Himself, the Unique I” in Continuation of The Word Appears in the Flesh

2. To put it plainly, “the authority of God” means that it is up to God. God has the right to decide how to do something, and it is done in whatever way He wishes. The law of all things is up to God, and not up to man; neither can it be altered by man. It cannot be moved by the will of man, but is instead changed by the thoughts of God, and the wisdom of God, and the orders of God, and this is a fact that is undeniable to any man.

The Loss and Gain of Gatherings

Guozi, USA

My name is Guozi, and I’m a high school student studying abroad in the USA. I was born in a Christian family, and my mother accepted the work of Almighty God in the last days when I was one year old. I remember when I was very young that my mother would always say to me: “God created heavens, earth, and everything that exists. We humans were also created by God, and God loves us more than anything. Whenever something happens to you, remember to pray to Almighty God, and He will watch over and protect you.” So when I was very young I learned that God exists, and when anything happened to me and I prayed to God, I experienced God’s protection for me.

Seeing God’s Hand in the Hardships of Selling and Buying a Home

Ma Ling

Part 1

Deep in the night when all was quiet, Ma Ling stood in silence by the window thinking about a conversation she had had with a church leader that day.

The leader, Sister Bai, said: “Sister Ma, one of the people taken in the most recent wave of arrests of brothers and sisters by the CCP government was a sister who used to stay at your home. We’re afraid that the police will track her movements through video surveillance recordings, and in that case you would certainly be implicated.

The Lord Jesus Has Come Back | Gospel Movie "The Mystery of Godliness"

Storyline：

Lin Bo’en was an elder of a house church in China. During all his life of believing in the Lord, he was proud to suffer for the Lord and regarded knowing and gaining the Lord Jesus Christ as priceless. One day, when he went out to preach, he heard a piece of shocking news: The Lord Jesus has returned to flesh and He is Christ of the last days—Almighty God! Lin Bo’en felt perplexed about it: When the Lord returns, He should return with clouds; how could He become flesh and work in a hidden way?

Knowing the Three Stages of God’s Work Is the Path to Knowing God

The work of managing mankind is divided into three stages, which means that the work of saving mankind is divided into three stages. These three stages do not include the work of creating the world, but are rather the three stages of the work of the Age of Law, the Age of Grace, and the Age of Kingdom. The work of creating the world was the work of producing the whole of mankind. It was not the work of saving mankind, and bears no relation to the work of saving mankind, for when the world was created mankind had not been corrupted by Satan, and so there was no need to carry out the work of mankind’s salvation.

To study the true way, only listen to the voice of God; absolutely do not believe the rumors of Satan.

The Church of Almighty God, Eastern Lightning, The Truth

Bible Verses for Reference:

My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me (Jhn 10:27).

So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God (Rom 10:17).

My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge (Hos 4:6).

Fools die for want of wisdom (Pro 10:21).

Relevant Words of God:

Since we are searching for the footprints of God, we must search for God’s will, for the words of God, for the utterances of God—for where there are the new words of God, there is the voice of God, and where there are the footsteps of God, there are the deeds of God. Where there is the expression of God, there is the appearance of God, and where there is the appearance of God, there exists the truth, the way, and the life.

15 Only If We Know God’s Work Can We Follow God to the End

Xiaoli Weihai City, Shandong Province

Now, some brothers and sisters, when encountering some environments of sufferings or painful trials, often utter these complaints: Why is it that we believe in God but what we encounter are all things painful to the flesh? It is said that God loves man, but where is God’s love? Just look at us these believers in God: We have left our families and given up our careers; we rush about all day;

Where do rumors come from and how are they created?

Bible Verses for Reference:

Now the serpent was more subtle than any beast of the field which Jehovah God had made. And he said to the woman, Yes, has God said, You shall not eat of every tree of the garden? And the woman said to the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden: But of the fruit of the tree which is in the middle of the garden, God has said, You shall not eat of it, neither shall you touch it, lest you die. And the serpent said to the woman, You shall not surely die: For God does know that in the day you eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and you shall be as gods, knowing good and evil (Gen 3:1-5).

The Word of God "Knowing the Three Stages of God's Work Is the Path to Knowing God" (Part One)

Almighty God says, "The three stages of work are at the heart of God’s entire management, and in them are expressed the disposition of God and what He is. Those who do not know of the three stages of God’s work are incapable of realizing how God expresses His disposition, nor do they know the wisdom of God’s work, and they remain ignorant of the many ways in which He saves mankind, and His will for the whole of mankind. The three stages of work are the full expression of the work of saving mankind. Those who do not know the three stages of work will be ignorant of the various methods and principles of the Holy Spirit’s work; those who only rigidly stick to doctrine that remains from one stage of work are people who limit God to doctrine, and whose belief in God is vague and uncertain. Such people will never receive God’s salvation."

The Scroll Opened by the Lamb | You Should Know That the Practical God Is God Himself

What should you know about the practical God? The Spirit, the Person, and the Word make up the practical God Himself, and this is the true meaning of the practical God Himself. If you only know the Person—if you know His habits and personality—but do not know the work of the Spirit, or what the Spirit does in the flesh, and if you only pay attention to the Spirit, and the Word, and only pray before the Spirit, unknowing of the work of God’s Spirit in the practical God, then this yet proves that you do not know the practical God. Knowledge of the practical God includes knowing and experiencing His words, and grasping the rules and principles of the work of the Holy Spirit, and how the Spirit of God works in the flesh. So, too, does it include knowing that every action of God in the flesh is governed by the Spirit, and that the words He speaks are the direct expression of the Spirit. Thus, if you wish to know the practical God, you must primarily know how God works in humanity and in divinity; this, in turn, concerns the expressions of the Spirit, which all people engage with.

Almighty God Uses His Word to Save Man - "The Main Purpose of God's Work in the Flesh" (Music Video)

God comes into flesh for the main purpose to make man see God’s practical deeds. He realizes the formless Spirit in the flesh so that man can touch and see Him. In this way, people made complete by Him can be those who live out Him. They are ones who are gained by Him, and ones who are after His heart.

Newest Utterances From Almighty God | Knowing God is the Path to Fearing God and Shunning Evil

Every one of you should examine anew your life of believing in God to see whether, in the pursuit of God, you have truly understood, truly comprehended, and truly come to know God, whether you truly know what attitude God bears to the various types of human beings, and whether you truly understand what God is working upon you and how God defines your every act.
