The Church of Almighty God, Eastern Lightning, the last days

101 Even If I Am Cut into Pieces, I Can Never Make Up For My Great Indebtedness to Almighty God

I was formerly a preacher of the “Three-Self” sect. At the beginning of 1999, when Almighty God’s work of the last days was spread to our place, our leader immediately called a meeting and warned us, “The ‘Eastern Lightning’ is a deceitful and false way. They go to various denominations and sects to preach some fallacies and heresies, saying that the Lord has come back and has done a new work, that the Bible is already outdated, and so on. Now even many elders and pastors have been deceived. We must not become an apostate! …” To resist the invasion of the “Eastern Lightning,” we also discussed and formulated five precautionary measures, such as, no receiving strangers, no listening to other ways without permission, setting up precaution teams to guard the church, and so on. After the meeting, I rushed to different meeting places without a stop to communicate the “spirit of the meeting.” And I fabricated rumors, saying, “Believers in Almighty God tempt people by using sexual appeal. Anyone who accepts their way will be confined for life and lose freedom! …” I also organized the believers to pray to curse the “Eastern Lightning” at a fixed time both in the morning and in the evening. Just like that, I frenziedly resisted Almighty God’s work of the last days.

I was born into a Christian family. I believed in Jesus with my parents since childhood. After I graduated from high school in 1990, the church began to focus on training me. In the summer of 1993, I was sent to Guangzhou to attend a three-month “professional preachers training class.” Because I was zealous in pursuing, I soon became a leader of the “Justification by Faith Church.” Since then, I rushed about among different churches all day, working for the Lord diligently.

In the fall of 1996, it was said that there arose a very powerful sect called the “Eastern Lightning,” they claimed that the Bible had been outdated and the Lord had come back to do the work of salvation, and so on, and whoever had contact with them couldn’t break away from them. Hearing that, I just turned up my nose at it, thinking, “The Bible is outdated? It’s purely a deception!”

In 1990, my wife and I found grace in the sight of the Lord and returned to Him. We both pursued hard, and a year later, I was selected as a co-worker in the Family Church of the Truth. Starting from April 2001, there were people preaching God’s work of the last days to me. In more than two years, those who preached the new work preached to me numerous times. But I rejected them all, for I had long heard from the leaders above that they believed in a “heresy,” a “cult,” and were a group of gangsters. I hated them to the bones, and resolutely refused to accept their way no matter what they said. And I went to the meeting places with other brothers to distribute adverse materials. We wantonly spread that the “Eastern Lightning” was a “cult,” a “heresy,” and a mafia, and they would gouge out people’s eyes or cut off their ears if they didn’t accept their way, and if they wanted to back out after accepting it, they would break their legs. We frightened the brothers and sisters by many alarmist words. As a result, they were so scared that none dared to accept Almighty God’s new work. Moreover, when I heard that anyone in the church had accepted the way, I would go with other brothers to denounce them, and if they didn’t turn back, we would expel them.

I was once an ordinary believer of the Local Church. After I believed in the Lord, I pursued hard for gaining His commendation. However, later I was deceived by the rumors and became a sinner who resisted God’s work of the last days. While I was resisting Almighty God’s work of the last days crazily, Almighty God’s great love came upon me, and He saved me, a heinous sinner, with His word from my evil way, and thereby I could truly step onto the right track of believing in God.

I had been a co-worker of the “Praise Church.” Since I believed in the Lord in 1988, I had believed that by listening to the leaders, I would surely be approved by God and go to heaven in the future, as they knew more things than others and had a rich knowledge of the Bible. So, whatever the upper leaders instructed me to do, I would listen to and obey it without the slightest negligence. In 1996, the leader said, “Now, there is a sect called the ‘Eastern Lightning,’ and it is very rampant. Anyone who has contact with its followers will be captivated. Now many people have turned to them. In future, we mustn’t receive any strangers…” Since then, I conveyed the leader’s “order” faithfully and took the lead to carry it out in the church. An unfamiliar sister came to preach God’s work of the last days to me many times, and each time she came, she helped me with the field work. Yet I either avoided her or said harsh words to insult her. But that didn’t stop her from coming to preach to me persistently. Once, when we were having a meeting, she came again. I abused her before all others, “Get away, you devil! I bind Satan in the name of the Lord!” With that, I pushed and shoved her out of the door together with several other believers, and I threw her bike in a deep puddle by the roadside. In the end, she picked it up with the help of the unbelievers. Just in that way, with the leader’s instruction “don’t receive strangers” kept in my mind, I shut the door on God’s salvation of the last days time and time again. However, what happened later greatly exceeded my expectation.

—A Repentance Before the Coffin

I turned my face outward and saw that my coffin and shroud were there ready-made. When the moment I slipped my breath came, I would be put into them. Despair and loneliness welled up in me all at once. “I’m done! I’m done! I’m only in my forties. I’m very unwilling to die like this!” I looked out the window to the blue sky, tears wetting my pillow… Just at the moment I was at my last gasp and was dying, Almighty God stretched out His loving hands to me and conquered me by His powerful and authoritative words, so that I was revived in mind and body and gained a new life. Facing God’s great grace, I bitterly hated myself for grievous disobedience and great resistance. Thousands of words couldn’t express my great indebtedness to God. Thank Almighty God for giving me this opportunity to tell my personal experience of how I resisted God, suffered God’s punishment, and received God’s salvation. I hope all brothers and sisters will learn a lesson from it and not follow my footsteps…

Best Christian Song | "The Inner Meaning of the Work of Conquest"

Best Christian Song | "The Inner Meaning of the Work of Conquest"

The inner meaning of man’s conquest is to return to the Creator. It is for man to turn his back on Satan and turn fully towards God. This is man’s complete salvation. Arduous conquest is the final battle. It is the last stage in God’s victorious plan. Without this, no man is saved, no victory is gained against Satan, no man enters a good destination. Mankind suffers the influence of Satan. Thus Satan’s defeat must come first to bring man’s salvation. For all of God’s works are for the sake of man. The final conquest brings salvation and reveals the destination. But through judgment, repentance, and awakening to the righteous path of life, awakened will be the hearts of the numb. And the disobedient will be judged, their inner rebellion shall be laid bare. But if man fails to repent, or walk the right path, or cast off the corruption within, they will be swallowed by Satan, beyond rescue and salvation. This is the purpose of God’s conquest—to save people and reveal their endings, which, either good or bad, shall be revealed in God’s conquest.

From the beginning until today, it’s only mankind who’s had a way to talk with God, converse with God. Among all creatures, all living things, it’s only mankind who words can bring and talk with God, converse with God. Since His management, God has been waiting for just one offering— the heart of man, that He may cleanse and equip it, and make man satisfying and loved by God, man satisfying and loved by God.

A Hymn of God's Words | Christ of the Last Days Has Brought the Age of Kingdom

When Jesus came into the world of man, He brought the Age of Grace, ending the Age of Law. God once more became flesh during the last days. He brought the Age of Kingdom, ending the Age of Grace. All who accept God's second incarnation shall be led into the Age of Kingdom and receive His guidance. Jesus labored among man to redeem mankind, offering Himself as sacrifice for man's sins. Yet man's corrupt disposition remains.

Power of God | "The One Who Holds Sovereignty Over Everything" | Reflections on Disaster

🔥Is Mankind Really in Control of Its Own Fate?

Faced with unexpected disaster, all our knowledge, skills, and ability count for nothing…. We can only cry out in sorrow, awaiting death amid fear and helplessness…. What can we do when facing a disaster?

🔥People are so terrified, weak and helpless in front of disasters… All these things of money, status, fame and gain can’t make us free from the disasters. Nowadays, the disasters have occurred in many regions, and where will mankind go? Who can save us in disasters? And who dominates man’s fate? My friend told me that a huge documentary The One Who Holds Sovereignty over Everything will reveal all the mysterious for us. Let’s look forward it.

The central government has ordered that all religions must be banned, especially The Church of Almighty God. Troops won’t be withdrawn until the ban is done. Understand? Yes! Move out! Yes sir! What are you up to? Having a meeting? The nation has ruled that any gathering of three or more people is illegal and it disrupts social order. Take them away! Come on! “Christ of the last days brings life, and brings the enduring and everlasting way of truth. This truth is the path through which man shall gain life, and the only path by which man shall know God and be approved by God.” from The Word Appears in the Flesh Don’t move! Police! Damn you! This time you’ll be put away for eight or ten years. We’ll then see if you still believe in God! One day I may be captured and persecuted by the CCP, this suffering is for the sake of righteousness, which I know in my heart.

Ay … here is a sky, oh … a sky that is so different! An exquisite fragrance is suffused all over the land, and the air is clean.

We dedicate our entire being to satisfy God and are willing to suffer any pain. Thanks be to Almighty God for changing our fate. We live a new life and welcome a brand new tomorrow!

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

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.
