The Secret to Saving a Marriage (Part 2) —Almighty God Saved My Marriage

However, when I shared the gospel with my wife, she would not accept it. Then, I asked the brothers and sisters from the church to come and share the gospel with my wife, but she still wasn’t willing to listen and she didn’t want to have them as guests. In light of these circumstances, I could only entrust my eager hopes for my wife to God. One day, I read this passage of God’s word: “Your practice and revelations in real life are the testimony of God, they are man’s living out and the testimony of God, and this is truly enjoying God’s love; when you have experienced to this point, the due effect will have been achieved. You are possessed of actual living out and your every action is looked upon with admiration by others. Your appearance is unremarkable, but you live out a life of the utmost piety, … admired by others—and these are the people who have testimony, and are the manifestation of God” (“Those Who Love God Will Forever Live Within His Light” in The Word Appears in the Flesh).

When I was young, my mom and dad often argued, and my mom frequently suffered beatings and abuse at the hands of my dad. She carried so much rancor in her heart that she died quite young. Thereafter I promised myself: When I grow up and start a family, I will be good to my wife and create a happy and peaceful family. I would not repeat the failures of my mother and father’s marriage.

Fortune and Misfortune

I was born into a poor family in a Chinese rural village. Because my family was poor, I sometimes did not even know if I would have my next meal, let alone snacks and toys. And from a young age, I would wear what my older sister used to wear. Her clothes were usually too big for me. As a result, my classmates would laugh at me and they would not play with me. My childhood was very bitter. From that point on, I resolved to myself: Once I grow up, I will be somebody and make lots of money.

Know God’s Sovereignty and Find Happiness in Life

By Kaoshen, Germany

When I was little, my father would often say to me, “My son, our family is not well-off, so if you want anything you have to earn money. When you have money, you have everything!” From then on, my dream was to have a career making big bucks so that my family could live a good life.

Judgment Is the Light

My name is Zhao Xia. I was born into an ordinary family. Due to the influence of dictums like “A man leaves his name behind wherever he stays, just as a goose utters its cry wherever it flies,” and “As a tree lives for its bark, a man lives for his face,” reputation and face became particularly important to me. Everything I did was to earn other people’s praise, compliments, and admiration.

Returning to Life From the Brink of Death

In 2007 I suddenly fell ill with chronic renal failure. On being told the news, my Christian mother and sister-in-law, and some Catholic friends all came to visit me to preach the gospel to me. They all told me that I only had to go to God and my illness would be cured. But I didn’t believe in God at all. I thought that illness could only be cured through scientific medical treatment, and that any disease that couldn’t be cured by science was incurable.

Who Lets Him Walk Easily Out of the Wilderness Into Canaan

One evening, I was very happy I saw Brother Liu log onto Skype. I remembered that Brother Liu had believed in the Lord for many years and that in the past he was always doing service work in the church. But in the past few years the church had grown increasingly desolate and the faith of the brothers and sisters had chilled. He was passive and feeble, just busying himself with his engineering projects, and concerned only with his physical self. He had not come to church for a long time. It was something rare to come across him that day, so we quickly started chatting …

Without realizing it we got to talking about our own recent spiritual condition. I was going to tell him just like I used to about how my spirit was withered and dark, but something Brother Liu shared with me took me by surprise. He had a unique explanation for why the church had grown desolate, and what he said had lots of light. I hadn’t heard anything like it before. I was so impressed to see how much he had gleaned in such a short amount of time!

Seeing me so surprised, Brother Liu then took it upon himself to talk about what he had experienced during that time. He said: “Before, I had seen the situation in the church getting worse and worse, the faith of the brothers and sisters in general growing cold and weak, and most of the people following worldly trends, and that there were even some people who had left the Lord behind. As a person in the service of the Lord, I was powerless and unable to help or support my brothers and sisters. Much of the time I myself was even living in the cycle of sinning and repenting with no way to get myself out of it. My spirit had grown dark and weak, and there was nothing I could do. I had already sought everywhere, but had seen that every denomination was just as desolate as the next. I too slowly became trapped in mundane concerns and was busy with work every day, and no longer even thought about attending gatherings…. Later, from various signs I saw that the prophecies of the Lord’s second coming had been fulfilled one after the other. Especially with the appearance of the four blood moons, it was clear that the great disasters are about to come, yet we have still not welcomed the Lord. My heart full of anxiety and confusion, I suddenly thought of what the biblical prophecy says: ‘And also I have withheld the rain from you, when there were yet three months to the harvest: and I caused it to rain on one city, and caused it not to rain on another city: one piece was rained on, and the piece whereupon it rained not withered’ (Amo 4:7). I thought about a problem: ‘In the past few years, our spirits have grown dark and withered, the pastors sermonize about nothing but stale truisms, and there is no new light. It is evident that the church has already grown desolate, and not just one church which is in this condition but each and every denomination alike. What could the ultimate reason be for this? I couldn’t help but be reminded of the end of the Age of Law. People were unable to uphold the law and deviated from the way of Jehovah. For mankind’s salvation, the Lord Jesus launched His new work in the Age of Grace, after which the temple became desolate, lost the work of the Holy Spirit, and turned into a den of thieves. Could the desolation now appearing in the churches really be God leaving us to begin His new work?’ I quickly got online to see the exact place of the Lord’s appearance to do the new work. By chance, I discovered that in the entire world only The Church of Almighty God was bearing witness that the Lord has already returned and was publicly distributing on the internet the truth expressed by Almighty God. They have all kinds of videos, movies, hymns of praise, and other ways of spreading and bearing witness to God’s work in the last days. I saw that Almighty God’s words hold power, authority, and they are so heart-shaking. The debate sessions in all the movies produced by The Church of Almighty God were intense and they fellowshiped about the truth in an illuminating way to give people great benefit. They really have the guidance and work of the Holy Spirit! Seeing that what The Church of Almighty God provided for people’s lives was abundantly rich and all-encompassing, yet we were as if living in the darkness with withered spirits, I felt how vast a gulf there was between us! I then remembered the words of the Lord Jesus: ‘Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and you shall find; knock, and it shall be opened to you’ (Mat 7:7). The Lord tells us to seek in all things that if we seek the Lord will enlighten us. I thought of how I had prayed so earnestly to the Lord recently, and He had guided me to The Church of Almighty God. Could the Lord’s will be found in this? I therefore resolved to actively seek and investigate The Church of Almighty God in accordance with the word of the Lord.”

When I heard what Brother Liu had shared, I felt that it came from the guidance and enlightenment of the Holy Spirit. I asked him to share without delay a method for investigating the work of Almighty God in the last days.

Brother Liu said that the first time he came into contact with The Church of Almighty God, he had no understanding of Almighty God’s work in the last days. Still, something touched his heart and he felt an urge to read the word of Almighty God so as not to miss his chance to welcome the Lord. But just then, a project that Brother Liu was in charge of was about to get underway, and he had to travel to another state to oversee the operations site. He was very busy every day, there were a lot of people where he was staying, the internet connection was not working, and he couldn’t use his computer at all, so Brother Liu had no way to read the word of God. Amid the anxiety Brother Liu was feeling about this, the brothers and sisters recommended the mobile app of The Church of Almighty God. He learned that he could use app to read the word of God online, listen to hymns praising God and recitations of the word of God, and download materials for offline access. He was excited to hear that, so he quickly downloaded and installed it. From then on, whenever Brother Liu had a free moment he would find somewhere to listen to recitations of the word of Christ of the last days, and enjoyed the watering and supply of the living water of life. In a short time, Brother Liu had understood many truths and mysteries from the word of Almighty God that had been unclear to him before. He understood things such as the reason the churches had grown desolate, the three stages of God’s work in saving mankind, how God carries out the work of judgment and purification in the last days, humanity’s outcome and destination, the beauty of His kingdom, and so on. As he listened to Almighty God’s word more and more, the confusion and difficulties that he had faced for years were all resolved and his parched spirit was alleviated …

Brother Liu spoke with great excitement, and I could feel that his spiritual condition was completely different from how it had been. Because before Liu’s faith had been weak and he was busy with work and occupied with the mundane world, he wasn’t able to bear the temptations of Satan and would always just watch TV, sometimes until very late at night, and his relationship with the Lord had grown more and more remote. Through examining the work of Almighty God in the last days, in such a short amount of time Brother Liu understood so much of the truth that had eluded him before. He had regained his faith and become strong in spirit. I was jealous at all Brother Liu had gained.

Not much later, Brother Liu said with genuine emotion that, since he installed the app from The Church of Almighty God, the best thing he had experienced had been getting his regular spiritual life back. His spirit was no longer dark and withered, and he had regained the feeling of being in the Lord’s presence. He said that from time to time when he encounters some difficulties or temptations in his life or work, and doesn’t know what to do, he opens up the app to read the word of Almighty God or experiences and testimonies shared by the brothers and sisters. When he does so, he gains a flash of insight and is able to emerge from whatever confusion and difficulty he is facing. In his heart, he affirms that the Holy Spirit is at work in The Church of Almighty God, that the word of Almighty God is the truth, and that it can solve mankind’s practical problems. The app then became a tool for spiritual devotion that he couldn’t live without. He felt how convenient and quick it was to use the app, and the more he used it the more benefit he saw. His spirit became tranquil, his mind was at peace, and he was enthusiastic in his work. What Brother Liu found even more exciting was that through a short period of investigating and the fellowship and testimony of the brothers and sisters, he had become completely certain that the word of Almighty God is the voice of the Holy Spirit. Almighty God is the returned Lord Jesus. He has caught up with the footsteps of the Lamb and attained God’s salvation in the last days. Smiling, he said that it had really been the app that had helped him the most. If not for installing it, he would never have read so much of the word of Almighty God or affirmed as true the work of Almighty God in the last days.

Brother Liu now always uses the app whenever and wherever to listen to recitations of the word of God and hymns, and to watch all kinds of gospel video programs such as movies and A Cappella music videos. Brother Liu was especially happy when he told me that the app from The Church of Almighty God has a spiritual devotion planning feature, so he won’t have to struggle to find some good content when it’s time for spiritual devotion. The personalized spiritual devotion planning feature is especially rich with classic selections from the word of God directed at the aspects of the truth that one should understand in belief in God. It also has movies, recitations of the word of God, and videos of hymns, and the experiences and testimonies of the brothers and sisters are heartfelt and moving. Those mainly describe how they experienced the judgment and chastisement of the word of God, how they gradually came to understand the truth and to know themselves, how they threw off their corrupt disposition and entered upon the road to salvation, and so on. This provision of truth allowed Brother Liu to gain a lot of new enlightenment and illumination from his spiritual devotion, something that was unobtainable and invisible in the religious world. Brother Liu rejoiced that he was able to welcome the second coming of the Lord by using the app. In his new church life, he enjoyed the word of Almighty God and obtained sustenance directly. For Brother Liu, every day is now fulfilling. As his understanding of the truth gradually increases, his relationship with God becomes more and more normal, the spirit grows stronger, and, most importantly, he has caught up with the new work of the Holy Spirit. He has gained sustenance and guidance from God Himself and is on the path to obtaining salvation. In his heart and spirit, he is becoming more and more free.

When I heard what Brother Liu shared, I was very excited, and I wanted to obtain this abundant sustenance as well.

On my way to work the next morning, I took out my phone, put my headphones on, opened the app from The Church of Almighty God, selected a hymn, and as I walked I listened to music in praise of the Creator with an incomparably sweet and joyful feeling in my heart …

Coming Home (Part 2)

In this period, there was another brother named Yang who also investigated Almighty God’s work in the last days together with me. I had always had a careless and absent-minded attitude, but Brother Yang was earnest in his studies. Brother Yang said that he had rejected the gospel of Almighty God when people had preached it to him before but that hearing it again today must be an opportunity granted by God! He wanted to investigate it. Brother Yang saw that I was only interested in listening to the pastor’s words and not investigating with an open mind.

Coming Home (Part 1)

“God’s love overflowing is freely given to man, God’s love is around him. Man, innocent and pure, without a care to tie him down, lives in bliss in the eyes of God. … If you are a person of conscience and with humanity, you will feel warm, being cared for and loved, you will feel blessed with happiness” (“How Important God’s Love for Man Is” in Follow the Lamb and Sing New Songs). Every time I start to sing this hymn of the word of God, it’s hard to keep down the emotions stirring inside me. That is because I was once far astray from God and went against Him.

The Loss and Gain of Gatherings

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.

Unveiled: The True Meaning of “It Is Finished” Spoken by the Lord Jesus on the Cross

Many brothers and sisters believe that what Jesus meant by saying “It is finished” when He was on the cross was that God’s work to save mankind was completed. But was this really the case? What exactly did He mean by saying “It is finished”? The following article will uncover the true meaning of the words “It is finished” that the Lord Jesus spoke upon the cross. Please read on …

What Is the Rapture?

   

   Just like many other Christian brothers and sisters, I eagerly long for the second coming of the Lord Jesus. We abide by the following passage from the Bible: “Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord” (1 Thessalonians 4:17). For this reason, we foolishly look up to the skies longing for the day that Jesus will return and take us up into the clouds so that we can be with the Lord. However, after so many years have passed, the four blood moons have already appeared; earthquakes, famines, plagues and war and all sorts of other disasters are becoming more and more intense.

A Battle

My name is Zhang Hui, and in 1993 my entire family came to believe in the Lord Jesus. I was an enthusiastic seeker, so I quickly became a preacher. I would often travel around to different churches to work and preach. After a few years, I quit my job and began to serve the Lord full time. However, for some unknown reason, my brothers’ and sisters’ faith and love gradually cooled, and jealousy and strife grew between co-workers.

Breaking Free From the Rumor Trap

I used to be a female army officer. One day in 1999, a Korean pastor preached the gospel of the Lord Jesus to me. Because of my earnest pursuit, I soon became the focus of the pastor’s training and his right-hand man. The summer of 2000, the pastor came to Yunnan on a short summer missionary trip with more than a dozen college students from the Korean Gospel Church. Unexpectedly this alarmed the CCP government. We were arrested whilst having a meeting at the pastor’s home and then brought to Yunnan Province Public Security Department for trial. The Korean university students were deported the same night and the Korean pastor was also expelled.

During the last days, God carries out the work of judgment beginning from the house of God, making a group of overcomers in China.

Bible Verses for Reference:

“For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God” (1 Peter 4:17).

“For as the lightning comes out of the east, and shines even to the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be” (Matthew 24:27).

“And I looked, and, see, a Lamb stood on the mount Sion, and with him an hundred forty and four thousand, having his Father’s name written in their foreheads. … These are they which were not defiled with women; for they are virgins.These are they which follow the Lamb wherever he goes. These were redeemed from among men, being the first fruits to God and to the Lamb. And in their mouth was found no guile: for they are without fault before the throne of God”(Revelation 14:1, 4-5).

The Word of God Leads Me to Live Out a Little Like a Human

 

 I was born into a blessed family. From a young age, my parents loved me very much. In addition, my grades were good and adults often praised me in front of my brothers, sisters and me: “Xiao Ye will certainly have good prospects in the future….” I really felt so much pride for myself after hearing this and always indulged in self-admiration and wild arrogance, thinking I was better than my siblings, regarding myself as a rare talent in the family…. I grew up in such a superior environment.

Uncovering the Mystery of “Judgment”

My name is En Hui and I’m 46 years old. I live in Malaysia, and I have been a believer in the Lord for 27 years. In October 2015, I moved to another city to take up a job. My new colleagues were all big fans of Facebook, which they used for chatting, finding new friends, and posting images. Seeing that I didn’t have a Facebook account they set one up for me, and I gradually learned how to go online and use it.

Spiritual Warfare | Who Is the Obstacle on the Road to the Heavenly Kingdom

The year my husband died, I was deep in despair, and on top of that I had the added burden of raising my children. Hardship had suddenly befallen my life, but I had the love of the Lord with me all along, and with the help of my brothers and sisters I got through this difficult time. To recompense the love of the Lord, I continued to make donations and serve the church, and have been doing so for over thirty years.

Finding the Way Back After Getting Lost

   

     I’d always wanted a happy life with a high standard of living, so I came to the U.S.A. to work as hard as I could. After a few years of hard work and suffering, I was able to gradually get the things I wanted: my own company, my own car, my own house, etc. I was finally living the “happy” life that I’d dreamed of. During this period, I made friends with a few guys and enjoyed eating meals, drinking and having fun with them during our leisure time. We all got on pretty well together, and I thought I’d met a good bunch of guys.

How I Nearly Became a Foolish Virgin

In the fall of 2002, Sister Zhao from my denomination, the Church of Truth, brought her niece, Sister Wang, to my home to tell me some great news that the Lord has come back. After a few days of reading the words of Almighty God and listening to the sister’s detailed fellowship, I understood that from the creation of the world until now God has performed three stages of work in order to save mankind.

Listen! Who Is This Who Speaks?

As a church preacher, the greatest affliction is no more than spiritual dryness and having nothing to preach. I felt helpless seeing fewer and fewer brothers and sisters coming to meetings and I came before the Lord many times to pray earnestly and ask the Lord to strengthen brothers and sisters’ faith. But the desolation of the church had not improved at all and even I lived in weakness and negativity …

The Road to Purification

 My name is Christopher and I am a pastor from a family church in the Philippines. In 1987, I was baptized and returned to the Lord Jesus. By the Lord’s grace, in 1996 I became a pastor of the local church. At that time, apart from preaching in many places around the Philippines, I also preached in places like Hong Kong and Malaysia. Because of the work and the guidance of the Holy Spirit, I felt that I had inexhaustible energy in my work for the Lord and an unceasing flow of words in my sermons. I would often go to support brothers and sisters when they were negative and weak. Sometimes members of their family who did not believe in the Lord were unfriendly toward me, yet I could be tolerant and patient and not lose faith in the Lord and I believed that the Lord could change them.

I Am Following the Footsteps of the Lamb

When I was 18 years old my mother got ill, and so she started believing in the Lord Jesus. At the time, I knew the Lord Jesus’ name but didn’t understand anything about faith in the Lord. It was quite a coincidence that I later went to work for a company where most of the employees were Christians. Through interacting with them, I saw how they treated people with love and patience, and I came to believe that Christians were a pretty good bunch of people. During that period, there was a colleague who often told me the story about how the Lord Jesus was nailed to the cross in order to redeem mankind.

Christ Does the Work of Judgment With the Truth

Classic Words of God:

The work of the last days is to separate all according to their kind, to conclude the management plan of God, for the time is near and the day of God has come. God brings all who have entered His kingdom, that is, all those who have been loyal to Him to the end, into the age of God Himself. However, until the coming of the age of God Himself, the work that God shall do is not to observe the deeds of man or to inquire into the life of man, but to judge his rebellion, for God shall purify all those who come before His throne. All those who have followed the footsteps of God to this day are those who have come before the throne of God, and this being so, every single person who accepts God’s work in its final phase is the object of God’s purification. In other words, everyone who accepts God’s work in its final phase is the object of God’s judgment.
