Lu Xunguang staggers to the window. The moonlight gently sprinkles on his body. At this time, he is in a whirlwind of thought, and the scenes of serving the Lord with Brother Liu constantly surface in his mind. Lu Xunguang thinks in his heart: When he and Brother Liu were young, they served the Lord with enthusiasm in the church, preaching everywhere and shepherding the churches. Until now, many years have passed. At that time, they suffered illegal arrest of the Chinese Communist Party police when preaching the gospel, being imprisoned forcibly for eight years. When they felt weak in their hearts, they encouraged each other to take up the cross to follow the Lord. And they all surely believed they could wear the crown of righteousness that the Lord bestowed upon. Many years have gone by in the blink of an eye, he doesn’t know how Brother Liu is doing now …
God urges the people of all ethnicities, all countries and even industries: Listen to God’s voice and see His work, pay attention to the fate of humanity, make God the most holy and honorable, the highest and only object for worshiping, allow the whole of humanity to live under the blessing of God, just as the descendants of Abraham lived under the promise of Jehovah, just as God’s creations Adam and Eve lived in the Garden of Eden.
God’s work is like mightily surging waves; none can detain Him or halt His feet. Only by listening to His word and pursuing Him can His footsteps be followed and promise received. All others shall face total annihilation and receive their deserved punishment. God urges the people of all ethnicities, all countries and even industries: Listen to God’s voice and see His work; pay attention to the fate of humanity; pay attention to the fate of all mankind.
Behold, the days come, said the Lord Jehovah, that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of Jehovah.
Disasters are growing in scale. Are you also yearning to welcome the Lord? Seeing that more and more people are testifying on the Internet that the Lord has returned, are you confused about how to welcome the Lord? These words of Almighty God will tell you the answer.
The Bible is merely a record of the first two stages of God’s work. So if we only read the Bible, we cannot gain eternal life. The Bible can’t give eternal life. Of this, there is no doubt. But we believe, by following the Lord, we can achieve it. The Lord’s own words back this up. The Lord Jesus said, “I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believes in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: And whoever lives and believes in me shall never die” (John 11:25-26). “But whoever drinks of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life” (John 4:14). This passage is the Lord Jesus’ promise. The Lord Jesus can grant eternal life. His way is the way of eternal life. However, you testify that Christ of the last days brings us the way of eternal life. We are all followers of the Lord Jesus. Why is this not enough to gain the way of eternal life?
Faced with trials and refinement, many brothers and sisters in the Lord would get bewildered, not knowing how to experience them to be after God’s heart. Thanks to God’s leadership, I’ve grasped some principles on this aspect through studying the Bible and fellowshiping with my brothers and sisters in the church. Now I’d like to share them with you, which I hope can help the brothers and sisters who are undergoing trials.
In the Age of Law, God took the name Yahweh; in the Age of Grace, He took the name Jesus, and the Book of Revelation prophesied that God would have yet another new name. Why does God change names? Many Christians are unclear on this aspect of the truth, causing them to miss the opportunity to welcome the Lord’s coming. As Christians, understanding truths related to the names of the Lord is critical for us welcoming the return of the Lord Jesus.
Gospel Movie “Who Is My Lord” | Do You Know the Relationship Between the Bible and God?
Storyline
Liu Zhizhong is an elder of a house church in China. Over thirty years of belief in the Lord, he had always clung to the views, “All scripture is given by inspiration of God,” and “The Bible represents God. Believing in God is believing in the Bible, and faith in the Bible amounts to faith in God.” He deemed the Bible supreme in his heart. Because of his blind faith in and adoration of the Bible, he never tried to seek and investigate Almighty God’s work in the last days. But one day, when he was stopping the believers from reading Almighty God’s word online, he had an unexpected encounter with the preachers from the Church of Almighty God, and they had an intense debate of the truth. Could he finally have a clear understanding of the relationship between the Bible and God? Could he come out of the Bible, realize Christ is the truth, the way and the life, and be raptured to God’s presence?
We see someone praying for a long time, saying many things and speaking pleasant words, and we believe them to be a spiritual person who has a normal relationship with God, and that God will surely hear the prayers of such a person. We therefore learn to pray in this way, too, and we often pray to God, saying: “Dear Lord Jesus, we give thanks and praise to You! You were crucified for our sakes in order to redeem us. O Lord! Your love is higher than the heavens and deeper than the seas, Your deeds are wise and wonderful, and Your holy name deserves to be extolled and worshiped by thousands! O Lord, You are the lamp that lights my way, the light upon my path. I ask that You guide me and help me to avoid temptation. I wish to dedicate my true heart to You, and to love You and be loyal to You forever! …” Although we may say many pleasant-sounding things in prayer to praise God and express our devotion, after we’re done praying, however, our spirits feel no enjoyment, our relationship with God has not drawn any closer, we still feel flat and we have no faith in God. This shows that God does not listen to this kind of prayer. Why does God not commend such prayers? This is a problem we urgently need to seek the answer to, so let’s search for the answer below.
In the Lord Jesus’ prophecy about His return, He mentioned two types of people: the wise virgins and foolish virgins. The wise virgins will listen to the voice of God and welcome the Lord, while the foolish virgins will be forsaken by the Lord and be plunged into disasters and eliminated. A lot of people hope to be wise virgins to welcome the Lord’s return in the last days, then how can we achieve it? The Lord Jesus said, “My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me” (John 10:27). The Book of Revelation predicts, “Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear My voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with Me” (Revelation 3:20). So the Lord would speak utterances to knock on our doors upon His return. The wise virgins are those who seek and listen for the words of the Lord returned. They can recognize the voice of God from the words and put aside their notions to obey and accept the new work of the Holy Spirit. This is receiving the Lord and feasting with Him. Just as God’s words say, “Since we are searching for the footprints of God, it behooves us to search for God’s will, for the words of God, for His utterances—because wherever there are new words spoken by God, the voice of God is there, and wherever there are the footsteps of God, God’s deeds are there. Wherever there is the expression of God, there God appears, and wherever God appears, there the truth, the way, and the life exist” (“The Appearance of God Has Ushered in a New Age”). “All who are able to obey the present utterances of the Holy Spirit are blessed. It does not matter how they used to be, or how the Holy Spirit used to work within them—those who have gained the latest work of God are the most blessed, and those who are unable to follow the latest work today are eliminated. God wants those who are able to accept the new light, and He wants those who accept and know His latest work. Why is it said that you must be a chaste virgin? A chaste virgin is able to seek the work of the Holy Spirit and understand the new things, and moreover, able to put aside old notions, and obey the work of God today” (“Know God’s Newest Work and Follow His Footsteps”). Today, the Lord has returned and expressed millions of words. God is using His words to seek those who pay attention to His words and yearn for His return. Friends, would you like to be a wise virgin who listens to God’s voice and welcomes the Lord? Please contact us on Messenger.
