In the last days, it is our greatest hope to receive the return of the Lord Jesus Christ. To help all the people who yearn for God’s appearance to welcome the return of the Lord Jesus Christ soon, our blog will update the latest message on the return of the Lord.
Editor’s note: Plagues, earthquakes, famines, and all manner of other disasters are occurring frequently in the last days, and the prophecies of the Lord’s coming have been fulfilled. The Lord said that God’s sheep will hear God’s voice, so how then can we recognize the voice of God? By reading this article, you will understand how the wise virgins are able to discern God’s voice.
A few days ago, my church member recommended a movie to me, The Moment of Change. I couldn’t help thinking A few days ago, my church member recommended a movie to me, The Moment of Change. I couldn’t help thinking of Paul’s words, “In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed” (1 Corinthians 15:52). Does “The Moment of Change” mean that the Lord will change our images when He comes? I was filled with curiosity! This movie, which just proceeds from this concept, depicts different people’s displays in the church in light of this concept. Now let’s take a look at these six key characters in this movie.
“O dear Abba Father, You are the truth and the way, You are the life, You are the lamp before our feet and the light on our path. … You are the head of our family. We’re willing to obey You, love You, heed Your words and follow Your directives …”
2000 years ago, the Lord Jesus told His disciples the signs of His return in the last days, “For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. All these are the beginning of sorrows” (Matthew 24:7-8).
You have walked only a very small portion of the path of a believer in God, and you have yet to enter onto the right track, so you are still far from meeting God’s standard. Right now, your stature is not adequate to meet His demands. Due to your caliber and your corrupt nature, you always treat God’s work carelessly; you do not treat it seriously. This is your gravest shortcoming. There is certainly none who can ascertain the path the Holy Spirit walks; most of you do not understand it and cannot see it clearly. Moreover, most of you pay no mind to this matter, much less do you take it to heart. If you continue in this way, living in ignorance of the work of the Holy Spirit, then the path you take as a believer in God will be futile. This is because you do not do everything in your power to seek to meet God’s will and because you do not cooperate well with God. It is not that God has not worked on you, or that the Holy Spirit has not moved you. It is that you are so careless that you do not take the work of the Holy Spirit seriously. You must turn reverse this situation immediately and walk the path on which the Holy Spirit leads people. This is the main topic for today. “The path on which the Holy Spirit leads” refers to gaining enlightenment in spirit; having knowledge of God’s word; gaining clarity on the path ahead; being able to enter step by step into the truth; and coming to a greater knowledge of God. The path on which the Holy Spirit leads people is primarily a path toward a clearer understanding of God’s word, free of deviations and misconceptions, and those who walk it walk straight along it. In order to achieve this you will need to work in harmony with God, find a correct path to practice, and walk the path led by the Holy Spirit. This involves cooperation on man’s part: that is, what you must do to meet God’s requirements of you, and how you must behave to enter onto the right track of belief in God.
Outside the window, the wind was biting cold and a heavy snow was falling. It was already 9 p.m. when Xuesong returned home from spreading the gospel.
His wife quickly warmed up dinner for him. When he was about to eat, his daughter Xiaoyuan also came back after supporting the church. Xuesong hurried to serve her a helping and was ready to have dinner with her. But Xiaoyuan was not in the mood to eat. At the sight of this, Xuesong asked her, “What’s wrong, Xiaoyuan? You look like something’s on your mind.”
And the publican, standing afar off, would not lift up so much as his eyes to heaven, but smote on his breast, saying, God be merciful to me a sinner. I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other: for every one that exalts himself shall be abased; and he that humbles himself shall be exalted.
Gospel Movies – Perilous Is the Road to the Heavenly Kingdom
Zhong Xin is a preacher from a certain house church on the Chinese mainland. He has been a believer in the Lord for many years and has always suffered the arrests and persecution of the CCP. His hatred of the CCP runs deep, and he has long since seen clearly that the CCP is a satanic regime that sets itself against God. In recent years, he has seen the wild condemnation, arrests and persecution of the Eastern Lightning church by the CCP government and the religious world. What he found incredible, however, was that not only had the Eastern Lightning not been beaten, but on the contrary it had flourished more and more, and so Zhong Xin began to reconsider: Is the Eastern Lightning the manifestation and work of the Lord? He also discovered that the words used by the CCP and the religious world to condemn the Eastern Lightning were all rumors and lies and so, in order to get to the truth of the matter, he led his brothers and sisters to investigate the Eastern Lightning. Through listening to the fellowships of those giving testimony in The Church of Almighty God, the majority affirmed that the words expressed by Almighty God are the truth, that these words are the voice of God and that Almighty God is the Lord Jesus returned. But in the face of the CCP government’s brutal repression and persecution of The Church of Almighty God, as well as the wild defiance and condemnation coming from the pastors and elders of the religious world, some people felt puzzled: The work of Almighty God is the true way, so why does it run up against the wild defiance and condemnation of the political power and the religious world? By reading the words of Almighty God, and by listening to the fellowships of those giving testimony in The Church of Almighty God, brothers and sisters understand the root cause of mankind’s defiance of God, they see clearly why the road to heaven is so perilous, and they come to have discernment about the truth-hating, God-opposing essence of the CCP’s satanic regime and the leaders of the religious world. People such as Zhong Xin have resolutely cast off the restraints and bonds of the influence of Satan, they have accepted Almighty God’s work of the last days, and they have truly returned before the throne of God.
The greatest longing for those of us who believe in the Lord is to enter the heavenly kingdom, and so we often imagine how beautiful it must be there. Of course, we are also confident about our entry into heaven, for it says in the Bible: “In whom we have redemption through His blood, even the forgiveness of sins” (Colossians 1:14). We therefore believe that our sins are forgiven after we have faith in the Lord, and that we are then no longer sinful. We also believe that, when the Lord comes, we will immediately be raised up into the heavenly kingdom. Thinking of these things gets us very excited, and we long for the Lord to hurry to us. This is what I longed for before too. But later, after fellowshiping and discussing this matter with my brothers and sisters, I came to a new discovery, and here I’d like to fellowship what I gained with you all …
Editor’s Note: Do you know why the faith of many believers has grown cold and why they cannot feel the presence of God when praying? It is because the spiritual famine that Amos 8:11 prophesies in the Bible appears. Are you eager to know what we should do to end the spiritual famine? Please read this article carefully and you’ll find the answer.
A gust of autumn wind blew through, sweeping up the fallen leaves in the yard. Sitting by the window, I frowned and pondered over these verses, “Behold, the days come … 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” (Amos 8:11), and “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” (Amos 4:7). It can be seen from these verses that God will cause famine to befall the religious world when His followers all deviate from His way and no longer obey His words. That is to say, the desolation of the church is ordained by God, but what is God’s intention behind that? And what inspiration can we people of the last days gain? With this in mind, I came before the Lord, prayed and sought to Him. After I consulted the Bible and some spiritual books, the riddle in my heart was finally solved.
