4 Ways to Know Whether It’s God’s Voice

Dear Sister Muzhen,

Peace to you in the Lord! I’m very glad to receive your letter. In the letter, you mentioned that the Lord’s coming is near, in order to be a wise virgin waiting for and welcoming the Lord’s return, you intentionally read the Bible and pray more, and work more for the Lord. But it didn’t make you feel keen in spirit, or make your faith and love increased. You wonder whether you are a wise virgin by pursuing like this and eager to know how to practice to welcome the coming of the Lord. Sister Muzhen, your question is very important for us Christians, because each and every of us wants to be a wise virgin to welcome the Lord’s return, and finally attend the feast of kingdom of heaven together with Him. None of us want to be a foolish virgin forsaken by the Lord. But, how should one practice to be a wise virgin? Regarding this issue, I’ll talk about my understanding. I hope it could be beneficial to you!

The Lord Jesus Is God Himself, Why He Called God Father in Heaven

By Gan Xin

The Lord Jesus said, “How think you? if a man have an hundred sheep, and one of them be gone astray, does he not leave the ninety and nine, and goes into the mountains, and seeks that which is gone astray? And if so be that he find it, truly I say to you, he rejoices more of that sheep, than of the ninety and nine which went not astray. Even so it is not the will of your Father which is in heaven, that one of these little ones should perish” (Matthew 18:12-14). From these words, we can see the Lord Jesus’ love for us mankind. He compared each of us to a sheep. If a sheep is lost, He will do whatever it takes to find it—this is His attitude in saving man. Here, the last sentence says, “Even so it is not the will of your Father which is in heaven, that one of these little ones should perish.” We all know that the Lord Jesus is the incarnate God Himself, and that His word is God’s word. Why then did the Lord Jesus say the words, “Even so it is not the will of your Father which is in heaven, that one of these little ones should perish”?

Seeking What “the Book” in Revelation Refers to

By Wu Ming

Wu Ming has been a sincere Christian for many years. She likes reading the Bible very much, and is especially curious about Revelation, eager to know what those prophecies in it mean. Once when she saw a passage in Revelation, “And I saw in the right hand of him that sat on the throne a book written within and on the backside, sealed with seven seals” (Revelation 5:1), she thought, “What does the book here refer to? Does it refer to the Bible? Is the content of the book recorded in the Bible or outside of it?” At that moment, she remembered a passage in Daniel, “But you, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased” (Daniel 12:4).

Gospel Movie Clip "The Gospel Messenger" (2)

Gospel Movie Clip "The Gospel Messenger" (2) - Christ Is God Incarnate For the last two thousand years, although believers in the Lord have known that the Lord Jesus is Christ, that He is God in the flesh, no one has been able to understand the mysteries of the truth pertaining to what God's incarnation truly is and how we should know the incarnate God. This is why, when Almighty God of the last days became flesh to come do God's judgment, some people treated Him as if He were just a regular person and refused to accept Almighty God's work of the last days. People are very likely to lose God's salvation of the last days this way. It is evident that understanding the truth of incarnation is critical for welcoming the Lord's return.

The Age of Law The Significance of God's Work Was Primarily to Guide Mankind

Classic Words of God:

The significance, purpose, and step of Jehovah's work in Israel were to begin His work on the whole earth, gradually spreading to Gentile nations from its center in Israel. This is the principle according to which He works throughout the universe—to establish a model, then broaden it until all people in the universe have accepted His gospel. The first Israelites were the descendants of Noah.

Bad Things That Happened to New Believers Are Satan’s Temptations

By Titie, United States

I welcomed the Lord’s return.

Since I was little, I had followed my mom in her belief in the Lord Jesus and had enjoyed bounteous grace from Him. After I grew up, blessed by the Lord, I was successful in my career and my family was happy. I was so grateful for everything the Lord had bestowed upon me that I actively attended gatherings and ardently pursued.

At a gathering in the summer of 2003, two brothers testified about Almighty God’s kingdom gospel to me. They fellowshiped with me about various aspects of the truth, such as the purpose of God’s six-thousand-year management plan, the three stages of God’s work, and the significance of God’s name. When they fellowshiped about the scripture: “For as the lightning, that lightens out of the one part under heaven, shines to the other part under heaven; so shall also the Son of man be in his day. But first must he suffer many things, and be rejected of this generation” (Luke 17:24-25), I realized that the Lord Jesus has become flesh once again and expressed the truth in the image of the Son of man, doing the work of judgment beginning with God’s family; He is condemned and rejected by the pastors and elders in the religious world.

New Interpretation of Forgiveness of Sins

Hello brothers and sisters of Find the Shepherd,

Most of the co-workers and brothers and sisters in our church follow world trends, worship status and power, and compete for fame and wealth, thus living in the cycle of sinning, confessing, and sinning again. Under such a circumstance, some brothers and sisters think that though we still often sin, because the Lord Jesus has already pardoned our sins, as long as we had faith in God then we will not be condemned and will be raptured into the kingdom of heaven when He returns; while the others, based on God’s words “You shall therefore be holy, for I am holy” (Leviticus 11:45), think that because we still live in sin and are not purified, we are not qualified to look upon the Lord’s face. For this, I’m quite confused and cannot figure out which view is right. So I wonder: We who have been forgiven our sins but still live in the state of sinning and repenting, can we see the Lord’s face at all?

What Is God’s Salvation?

By Junying

God’s salvation is different from man saving each other; it’s not the financial relief given to the poor by the rich, it’s not the saving of the dying and the treating of the wounded performed on patients by doctors, and it’s not the deeds of charitable organizations or philanthropists. God’s salvation is prepared for the sake of saving man’s degenerate souls, and the entirety of His salvation contains the truth, the way and the life. After we attain salvation, there is no longer any more pain, tears or sorrow, nor any more feelings of helplessness in our families, our studies, our work and our lives, and our lives become filled with light and happiness; we live with more purpose and meaning, and we live within the promises and blessings of God.

English Gospel Song "Only Those Who Accept the Truth Can Hear God's Voice"

Only Those Who Accept the Truth Can Hear God’s Voice Where there is the appearance of God, there’s expression of the truth and the voice of God. Only those who accept the truth can hear God’s voice and witness His appearance. Put away views of “impossible”! Thoughts of impossible are likely to happen. God’s wisdom soars higher than the heavens. God's thoughts and God's work are far beyond all man’s thoughts. The more impossible something is, the more there is truth to seek. The more beyond man’s conception, the more it contains God’s will. No matter where He appears, God is still God, God is still God. And His essence will never change because of where He’s appeared. Put your notions aside, quiet your heart, read these words. If you yearn for the truth, God will let you know His will and words. God’s disposition remains the same. Wherever His steps are, He is mankind’s God. Jesus is God of all Israelites, God of Asia, Europe, and the whole universe. Seek God’s will from His utterance, discover His appearance, follow His footprints. God is the truth, the way, the life. His words and appearance exist at the same time. His disposition and footprints are always made known to man. Brothers, sisters, hope you can see God’s appearance in these words. Follow Him toward a new age, into a new heaven and earth that has been prepared for all of those who wait for God’s appearance. Put your notions aside, quiet your heart, read these words. If you yearn for the truth, God will let you know His will. Put your notions aside, quiet your heart, read these words. If you yearn for the truth, you will get one step forward in knowing God.

The Great White Throne Judgment Has Begun

By Xiaolan

Editor’s note: Many Christians believe that the great white throne judgment is the work that the Lord will reward the good and punish the wicked, and determine man’s outcome when He comes back. So how is the great white throne judgment prophesied in the Book of Revelation carried out? Let’s see the experiences of Sister Xiaolan.

What’s the Relationship Between Jesus and Jehovah? Is Jesus God Himself?

By Ruochen

Xiaoyan saw the following words in the Bible: “And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway out of the water: and, see, the heavens were opened to him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting on him: And see a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased” (Matthew 3:16-17). “Philip said to him, Lord, show us the Father, and it suffices us. Jesus said to him, … Believe you not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me?” (John 14:8-10). “I and my Father are one” (John 10:30). After reading these verses, she felt confused: God in heaven called the Lord Jesus “my beloved Son,” the Lord Jesus called God in heaven Father as He prayed, but the Lord Jesus answered Philip by saying “I and my Father are one.” Is the Lord Jesus the son of Jehovah God? Are Jehovah and the Lord Jesus Father and Son? Then she thought of how her uncle had served the Lord for many years and that he had unique insights into the Bible, so she went to visit him and sought out the answers from him.

"God Himself, the Unique VIII God Is the Source of Life for All Things (II)" (Part Two)

Almighty God says, "The biggest difference between God and mankind is that God rules over all things and supplies all things. God is the source of everything, and mankind enjoys all things while God supplies them. That is to say, man enjoys all things when he accepts the life God bestows on all things. Mankind enjoys the results of God’s creation of all things, whereas God is the Master. Right? Then from the perspective of all things, what is the difference between God and mankind? God can see clearly the growth patterns of all things, and controls and dominates the growth patterns of all things. That is, all things are in God’s eyes and within His scope of inspection. … Hence God is God, and man is man! Even if man keeps researching science and the laws of all things, it is only within a limited range, whereas God controls everything. For man, that is infinite."
Through reading God's words, we get the message from God and have access to seek God.

Thoughts on Today’s Verse…

Christmas Day is coming! Maybe you are busy with Christmas preparations, but please do not forget to quiet our heart before God and meditate on God’s love and grace.

How Do We Know That the Lord Jesus Has Returned?

Speaking of the return of the Lord, it is written in Matthew 24:36: “But of that day and hour knows no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.” No one can know when the Lord Jesus will return, so how do you know that the Lord Jesus has returned already? It really seems inconceivable to us!

Christian Video | "A Rebirth" | God's Judgement in the Last Days Led Me Onto the Right Path of Life

Her name is Zheng Lu, and since childhood, she had been especially vain. Because of the social influence and the education of traditional Chinese culture, she studied tirelessly, hoping to get into university and realize her dream of outperforming her peers and becoming successful, but an unexpected accident shattered her dream. Just when she felt negative, weak, and unable to find direction in life, Almighty God's salvation in the last days found her. After starting to believe in God, she pursued passionately, enthusiastically performed her duties, won the approval of her brothers and sisters, and two years later was elected as a church leader. But unconsciously, her desire for success again began to grow in her, and the arrogance, conceit and desire for fame and prestige of her satanic nature exposed themselves constantly in her duties, greatly disrupting church work. Through repeatedly experiencing the judgment, chastisement, pruning, and dealing in God's word, she reflects deeply, and finally sees clearly that she has been deeply corrupted and poisoned by satanic toxins such as "To be a man is to get ahead," "As a tree lives for its bark, a man lives for his face," and "A man leaves his name behind wherever he stays, just as a goose utters its cry wherever it flies," which led her to become particularly arrogant and conceited in nature and to worship status and power, and caused her to focus exclusively on pursuing fame and prestige over her years of faith in God instead of pursuing the truth. Unbeknownst to herself, she had walked the path of the antichrist. At the same time, as she gains deep penetration into the essence and dangers of pursuing fame and status, she comes to loathe fame, status, and her own satanic nature, change her mistaken outlook on life and values, and gradually begins to walk the radiant and correct path for life, that of pursuing truth.

For Ten Years, Who Wrenched My Mom From Home

By Zhou Jun, Germany

In a few days it would be Christmas Day, so the streets were full of festival atmosphere. As I was memorizing words with drooping head inside my classroom as usual, my classmate Anna who came from Philippines sat next to me and asked curiously: “Jun, will you return to China this Christmas to reunite with your family?” At her words, I was speechless, just looking at her and not knowing how to reply her.

God’s True Love Brought Him to God’s Home

Wang Yi

My wife said to me in a dry voice: “Let’s get divorced. Our life can’t go on like this. We have run out of money and you can’t do any labor anymore. How will you feed our child and me?”

I asked her, puzzled: “Divorce? Even if you don’t think for me, you should think for our child. She is too young to lose her mother.”

Gospel Movie Clip "God's Name Has Changed?!" (2) - Is God's Name Truly Unchangeable?

Pastors and elders of the religious world frequently preach to believers that the Lord Jesus' name can never change and that only by relying on the Lord Jesus' name can we be saved. Does this kind of view accord with the truth? Jehovah God said, "Before me there was no God formed, neither shall there be after me. I, even I, am Jehovah; and beside me there is no savior" (Isaiah 43:10-11). In the Age of Grace, God incarnate took the name Jesus. God is unchangeable, so how can God's name change? Furthermore, Revelation prophesied that God will have a new name in the last days, so what is this all about? Many people are at a loss over this, but this short video will disclose the truth to you.

What is following man?

Relevant Words of God:

8. People who believe in God should obey God and worship Him. You should not exalt or look up to any person; you ought not to give first place to God, second place to the people you look up to, and third place to yourself. No person should hold a place in your heart, and you should not consider people—particularly those you venerate—to be on a par with God, to be His equal. This is intolerable to God.
