The Lord Jesus Being God, Why Did He Pray to God of Heaven? – Knowing Jesus

By Zhen Xin

Lord Jesus

We all know that the Lord Jesus was incarnated and performed the redemptive work, and all who believe in the Lord affirm that the Lord Jesus is the Savior. However, the Bible records that after the Lord Jesus was baptized, the heaven was opened, and the Holy Spirit descended upon the Lord Jesus like a dove, a voice said: “This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased” (Matthew 3:17). This is the Holy Spirit bearing witness that the Lord Jesus is God’s beloved Son. Besides, the Lord Jesus prayed before the crucifixion, saying: “O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as you will” (Matthew 26:39). These all prove that the Lord Jesus is clearly God’s Son. So, here is the question: Is the Lord Jesus really God or the Son of God? He is God, but why did He pray to God of heaven?

Saved in a Different Way

By Huang Lin, China

I used to be an ordinary believer in the Pentecostal Church, and ever since I started believing in the Lord I never once missed a meeting. In particular, it was now the time of the last days and the prophecies in the Bible about the Lord’s return had basically been fulfilled. The Lord would soon return, and so I attended meetings even more enthusiastically, eagerly looking forward to His return, lest I miss my chance to meet with the Lord.

Gospel Movie Clip (3) - Christians' Incredible Rebuttals to the CCP's Rumors and Slander

In order to deceive Christians into betraying God and giving up their faith, the CCP has openly blasphemed both Christ of the last days and the Lord Jesus, saying that They are both average people and are not God incarnate. The CCP has maligned Christians as merely believing in a person, and not God. It has also spread the rumor that The Church of Almighty God was created by a person just because the man who is used by God is the one who runs all the administrative affairs of the church.

Serve as the Israelites Did

Nowadays many people do not pay attention to what lessons should be learned during coordination with others. I have discovered that many of you cannot learn the lessons at all during coordination with others. Most of you stick to your own views, and when working in the church, you say your piece and he says his, one with no relation to the other, not really cooperating at all. You are absorbed in only communicating your own inner insights, absorbed in only releasing the “burdens” within you, not seeking life at all. It seems that you are just doing the work perfunctorily, always believing that you should follow your own way no matter how other people are, and that you should fellowship as the Holy Spirit guides you, regardless of how other people are. You are not able to discover the strengths of others, and not able to examine yourselves. Your way of receiving things is really erroneous. It can be said that even now you still display a lot of self-righteousness, as if that old illness has relapsed.

Improving Caliber Is for Receiving God’s Salvation

Improving people’s caliber is requiring that you improve your abilities to receive. The most basic requirement of you is that you receive clearly the words spoken to you. Is it not muddled faith if you follow Me without understanding what I say? Your caliber is too low. It is because you do not possess the abilities to receive that you do not even have the slightest understanding of what is being said. As such, it is very difficult to achieve the desired results. Many things cannot be said to you directly and the original effect cannot be achieved. Therefore, additional tasks have to be added to My work. It is necessary to launch this “raising people’s caliber” task among you because your abilities to receive, abilities to see things, and the standards of your lives are too poor.

The Significance of Saving the Descendants of Moab

In these two to three years of work, what should have been achieved in the work of judgment done upon you has basically been achieved. Most people have put aside their future prospects and destiny. However, when it’s mentioned that you are the descendants of Moab, many of you cannot stand it—your features distort, your mouth twists, and your eyes are fixed. You simply cannot believe that you are the descendants of Moab. Moab was banished to this land after being cursed. The lineage of Moab’s offspring has been passed down until today, and you all are his descendants. There’s nothing that I can do—who made you born in the house of Moab? I pity you and am not willing for you to be this, but the fact cannot be changed by people. You are a descendant of Moab, and I cannot say that you are a descendant of David. No matter whose descendant you are, you are still one of creation. It’s just that you are a creature of low position—you are a creature of lowly birth.

You Ought to Live for the Truth Since You Believe in God

The common problem that exists in all men is that they understand the truth but cannot put it into practice. One factor is that man is unwilling to pay the price, and the other is that man’s discernment is too inadequate; he is unable to see past many of the difficulties that exist in real life and knows not how to appropriately practice. As man has too little experience, poor caliber, and limited understanding of the truth, he is unable to resolve the difficulties he encounters in life. He can only pay lip service to his faith in God, yet is unable to bring God into his everyday life. In other words, God is God, and life is life, as if man has no relationship with God in his life. That is what all men believe. Such manner of faith in God will not allow man to be gained and perfected by Him in reality. In truth, it is not that the word of God is incomplete, but rather that the ability of man to receive His word is simply inadequate. It can be said that almost no man acts according to God’s intentions.

Almighty God's Word "Those Who Obey God With a True Heart Shall Surely Be Gained by God"

The Voice and Word of the Holy Spirit | "When It Comes to God, What Is Your Understanding"

Almighty God says, "The so-called God is not only the Holy Spirit, that Spirit, the sevenfold intensified Spirit, the all-encompassing Spirit, but also a person, an ordinary person, an exceptionally common person. He is not only male, but also female. They are similar in that They are both born to humans, and dissimilar in that one is conceived by the Holy Spirit and the other is born to a human but derived directly from the Spirit. They are similar in that both incarnate fleshes of God carry out God the Father’s work, and dissimilar in that one does the work of redemption and the other does the work of conquering.

To Have an Unchanged Disposition Is to Be in Enmity to God

After several thousand years of corruption, man has become numb and dull-witted, a demon that opposes God, to the extent that man’s rebelliousness toward God has been documented in the books of history, and even man himself is incapable of giving a full account of his rebellious behavior—for man has been profoundly corrupted by Satan, and has been led astray by Satan that he knows not where to turn. Even today, man still betrays God: When man sees God, he betrays Him, and when he cannot see God, so too does he betray Him. There are even those who, having witnessed God’s curses and God’s wrath, still betray Him.

God's work, Know God, Almighty God's words

All Who Do Not Know God Are Those Who Oppose God

To grasp the purpose of God’s work, what effect to be achieved in man, and the will of God toward man, this is what every man who follows God should achieve. Now what all men lack is the knowledge of God’s work. Man neither comprehends nor understands exactly what constitutes the deeds of God in man, all the work of God, and the will of God since the creation of the world. This inadequacy is not merely seen throughout the religious world, but moreover in all believers of God.

God's Word "Restoring the Normal Life of Man and Taking Him to a Wonderful Destination" (Part One)

Almighty God says, "Once the work of conquest has been completed, man will be brought into a beautiful world. This life will, of course, still be on earth, but it will be totally unlike man’s life today. It is the life that mankind will have after the whole of mankind has been conquered, it will be a new beginning for man on earth, and for mankind to have such a life will be proof that mankind has entered a new and beautiful realm.
