Eastern Lightning| Almighty God's Word "Only He Who Experiences the Work of God Truly Believes in God"

　

　　Almighty God says, "When Jesus came into the world of man, He brought the Age of Grace and ended the Age of Law. During the last days, God once more became flesh, and when He became flesh this time, He ended the Age of Grace and brought the Age of Kingdom. All those who accept the second incarnation of God will be led into the Age of Kingdom, and be able to personally accept the guidance of God. Though Jesus did much work among man, He only completed the redemption of all mankind and became man’s sin offering, and did not rid man of all his corrupt disposition. Fully saving man from the influence of Satan not only required Jesus to take on the sins of man as the sin offering, but also required God to do greater work to completely rid man of his disposition, which has been corrupted by Satan. And so, after man was forgiven his sins, God has returned to flesh to lead man into the new age, and begun the work of chastisement and judgment, and this work has brought man into a higher realm. All those who submit under His dominion shall enjoy higher truth and receive greater blessings. They shall truly live in the light, and shall gain the truth, the way, and the life."

 

Eastern Lightning| The Ninth Utterance

Since you are one of the people of My household, and since you are faithful in My kingdom, all that you do must meet the standards that I require. I do not ask that you be nothing more than a drifting cloud, but that you be gleaming snow, and possessed of its substance and even more its value. Because I came from the holy land, not like the lotus, which has only a name and no substance because it came from the mire and not the holy land. The time that a new heaven descends upon the earth and a new earth spreads over the skies is also the very time that I formally work among man. Who among man knows Me? Who beheld the moment of My arrival? Who has seen that I not only have a name, but, moreover, am also possessed of substance? I sweep away the white clouds with My hand and closely observe the skies; in space, nothing is not arranged by My hand, and beneath space, no man does not contribute his own tiny effort to the accomplishment of My mighty enterprise. I do not make onerous demands of the people on earth, for I have always been the practical God, and because I am the Almighty that created man and knows man well. All people are before the eyes of the Almighty. How could even those in the remotest corners of the earth avoid the scrutiny of My Spirit? Although man “knows” My Spirit, he also offends My Spirit. My words lay bare the ugly face of all people, and lay bare the innermost thoughts of all people, and cause all upon earth to be made plain by My light and fall down in the midst of My scrutiny. But though man falls down, his heart does not dare to stray far from Me. Among the creatures of God, who does not come to love Me because of My deeds? Who does not yearn for Me as a result of My words? In whom are not born feelings of devotion because of My love? It is only because of the corruption of Satan that man is unable to reach the realm as required by Me. Even the lowest standards that I require produce misgivings in him, to say nothing of today, the era in which Satan runs riot and is madly despotic, or the time when man has been so trampled by Satan that his entire body is caked in filth. When has man’s failure to care for My heart as a result of his depravity not caused Me grief? Could it be that I pity Satan? Could it be that I am mistaken in My love? When man disobeys Me, My heart secretly weeps; when man opposes Me, I chastise him; when man is saved by Me and resurrected from the dead, I feed him with the utmost care; when man obeys Me, My heart rests easy and I immediately sense great changes in all things in heaven and on earth; when man praises Me, how could I not enjoy it? When man witnesses Me and is gained by Me, how could I not be glorified? Could it be that all man does is not governed and supplied by Me? When I do not provide direction, people are idle and quiescent, and, “behind My back,” they engage in those dirty dealings that bring “pleasure.” Do you think the flesh, with which I clothe Myself, knows nothing of your actions, your behavior, and your words? Many years have I endured the wind and the rain, and so too have I experienced the bitterness of the human world, yet upon closer reflection, no amount of suffering can make man of flesh lose hope in Me, much less can any sweetness cause man of flesh to become cold, downhearted, or dismissive toward Me. Is man’s love for Me really limited to that area between pain and sweetness?

Eastern Lightning| Almighty God's Word "Know the Newest Work of God and Follow the Footsteps of God"

Eastern Lightning, the Church of Almighty God was created because of the appearance and work of Almighty God, the second coming of the Lord Jesus, Christ of the last days. It is made up of all those who accept Almighty God's work in the last days and are conquered and saved by His words. It was entirely founded by Almighty God personally and is led by Him as the Shepherd. It was definitely not created by a person. Christ is the truth, the way, and the life. God's sheep hear God's voice. As long as you read the words of Almighty God, you will see God has appeared.

Eastern Lightning|"The Savior Has Already Returned Upon a 'White Cloud'"

　　Almighty God says, "Man believes that, following the crucifixion and resurrection, Jesus went back to heaven upon a white cloud, and took His place at the Most High’s right hand. Similarly, man conceives that Jesus shall descend, again upon a white cloud (this cloud refers to the cloud that Jesus rode upon when He returned to heaven), among those who have desperately yearned for Him for thousands of years, and that He shall bear the image and clothes of the Jews. After appearing to man, He shall bestow food upon them, and cause living water to gush forth for them, and shall live among man, full of grace and love, living and real. And so on. Yet Jesus the Savior did not do this; He did the opposite of what man conceived. He did not arrive among those who had yearned for His return, and did not appear to all men while riding upon the white cloud. He has already arrived, but man does not know Him, and remains ignorant of His arrival. Man is only aimlessly awaiting Him, unaware that He has already descended upon a white cloud (the cloud which is His Spirit, His words, and His entire disposition and all that He is), and is now among a group of overcomers that He will make during the last days."

Eastern Lightning | Almighty God's Word "How Peter Came to Know Jesus"

　　Almighty God says, "During his time following Jesus, he had many opinions of Him and always judged Him from his own perspective. Although he had a certain degree of understanding of the Spirit, Peter was not very enlightened, hence his words when he said: “I must follow he who is sent by the heavenly Father. I must acknowledge he who is chosen by the Holy Spirit.” He did not understand the things Jesus did and received no enlightenment. After following Him for some time he grew interested in what He did and said, and in Jesus Himself. He came to feel that Jesus inspired both affection and respect; he liked to associate with Him and stay beside Him, and listening to Jesus’ words rendered him supply and help. Over the time he followed Jesus, Peter observed and took to heart everything about His life: His actions, words, movements, and expressions. He gained a deep understanding that Jesus was not like ordinary men. Although His human appearance was exceedingly ordinary, He was full of love, compassion, and tolerance for man. Everything He did or said was of great aid to others, and by His side Peter saw and learned things he had never seen or had before."

Eastern Lightning| The Eighth Utterance

When My revelations reach their peak, and when My judgment draws to an end, it will be the time when all My people are revealed and made complete. My footsteps tread across all corners of the universe in perpetual search of those who are after My own heart and fit for My use. Who can stand up and cooperate with Me? Man’s love of Me is too meager and his faith in Me is pitifully small. If the brunt of My words was not directed at man’s weaknesses, he would boast and exaggerate, and would pontificate and concoct high-sounding theories, as if he was omniscient and all-knowing about matters upon the earth. Who still dares to boast among those who were “loyal” to Me in the past, and who today “stand fast” before Me?Who is not secretly delighted by their own prospects? When I did not expose directly, man had nowhere to hide and was tormented by shame. How much worse would it be when I speak through other means? People would have an even greater sense of indebtedness, they would believe that nothing could cure them, and would all be tightly bound by their passiveness. When man loses hope, the salute of the kingdom formally rings out, which is “the time when the seven-fold intensified Spirit begins to work,” as spoken of by man, when, in other words, the life of the kingdom officially begins on earth, that is, when My divinity comes forth to act directly (without being processed by the brain). All people become as busy as bees; it seems as if they are revived, as if they are roused from a dream, and as soon as they awake, they are astonished to find themselves in such circumstances. In the past, I said much about the building of the church, I revealed many mysteries, and when the building of the church reached its peak, it came to an abrupt end. The building of the kingdom, however, is different. Only when the battle in the spiritual realm reaches its final stage do I begin anew on earth. That is to say, it is only when man is about to draw back that I formally begin and raise up My new work. The difference between the building of the kingdom and the building of the church is that, in the building of the church, I worked in humanity that was governed by divinity. I directly dealt with man’s old nature, directly revealed the ugly self of man, and exposed the essence of man. As a result, man came to know himself on this basis, and so was utterly convinced. In the building of the kingdom I act directly in My divinity, and allow all people to know what I have and am based on the knowledge of My words, ultimately allowing them to achieve the knowledge of Me who is in the flesh. Thus it brings to an end all mankind’s pursuit of the vague God, and puts an end to the place of the “God in heaven” in man’s heart, which is to say, it allows man to know My deeds in My flesh, and so concludes My time on earth.

Eastern Lightning| The Heart Voice of the Creator | "God Treasures One Who Can Listen to His Word and Obey Him"

God Treasures One Who Can Listen to His Word and Obey Him

In God’s eyes, whether a man is great or small, as long as he can listen to God’s word, obey God’s commandment and commission, cooperate with God’s work, and cooperate with God’s will and God’s plan, so that God’s will and God’s plan can be carried out smoothly and fulfilled, such a deed is worthy for God to remember and worthy for God to bless, worthy for God to bless. God treasures such a man, cherishes such a deed of his, and cherishes his kindness and his heart for God. This is God’s attitude.

Eastern Lightning| The Seventh Utterance

All of the western branches should listen to My voice:

In the past, have you been faithful to Me? Have you obeyed My excellent words of counsel? Do you have hopes that are realistic and not vague and uncertain? Man’s loyalty, his love, his faith—there is none but what comes from Me, none but what is bestowed by Me. My people, when you listen to My words, do you understand My will? Do you see My heart? In the past, as you traveled the path of service, you met with ups and downs, advances and setbacks, and there were times when you were in danger of falling down and even of betraying Me; but did you know that at every moment I was ever in the act of saving you? That at every moment I was ever uttering My voice to call and save you? How many times have you fallen into Satan’s nets? How many times have you been entangled in the snares of men? And again, how often have you, failing to let go of yourselves, lapsed into endless contention with one another? How often have your bodies been in My house but your hearts were who knows where? Nevertheless, how many times have I reached out My saving hand to hold you up; how many times have I cast among you the grains of mercy; how many times have I been unable to bear seeing the pitiful state of your suffering? How many times … don’t you know?

Eastern Lightning| Gospel Music | "If I Were Not Saved by God" (Official Music Video)

If I Were Not Saved by God

If I were not saved by God, I would still be drifting in this world,

struggling hard and painfully in sin, every day gets bleak and hopeless.

If I were not saved by God, I’d still be crushed below the devil’s feet,

snared in sin and its enjoyments, ignorant of what my life would be.

If I were not saved by God, I’d be without my blessings here today,

much less know why we should live on or the meaning of our lives.

If I were not saved by God, I’d still be confused about my faith,

still in empty space passing the days, unaware in whom to put my faith.

I have finally understood God’s loving hand holds mine as we go.

I would never go and lose my way ’Cause I’m on this brilliant course to stay.

I have finally understood God’s intent, earnest to man.

Eastern Lightning| Walk by Faith | "I'm Willing to Perform My Duty Faithfully"

I’m Willing to Perform My Duty Faithfully

I

Dear practical God, You do love me,

lifting me from the dunghill, judging me with Your word.

I’ve been purified, now I live a life of happiness.

From the bottom of my heart, I felt You raised me up.

Ah … ah … ah … ah…. Dear practical God,

I’ll love You all my life, have my duty faithfully fulfilled.

God You never shun from me for my foolishness.

You always think of me, keeping me in Your heart.

Ignoring how I disobeyed, trying hard to save me.

Expecting I can soon be changed into a new one.

Ah … ah … ah … ah…. Dear practical God,

I’ll love You all my life, have my duty faithfully fulfilled.

 

Eastern Lightning| Kingdom Life Is Wonderful | Praise and Worship "Dance Around the Throne"

Almighty God—Christ of the last days—has come to the world personally. He uses the word to renew and change all things and thus brings the wonderful life in the kingdom to mankind. God’s people have returned before God and are revived again. They sing and dance joyfully around God’s throne, praising God for His gaining glory.

Eastern Lightning| The Sixth Utterance

In matters within the spirit, you should be delicately sensitive; to My words, you should be carefully attentive. You should aim for the state in which you see My Spirit and My fleshly self, My words and My fleshly self, as one indivisible whole, and make it so that all of humanity will be able to satisfy Me in My presence. I have trodden the universe with My feet, stretching out My gaze over its entire expanse, and I have walked in the midst of all mankind, tasting the sweet, sour, bitter, and pungent flavors of human experience, but man never truly recognized Me, nor did he notice Me as I walked abroad. Because I was silent, and performed no supernatural deeds, because of this no one ever truly saw Me. Things are not now as they once were: I am going to do things that, since the beginning of creation, the world has never seen, I am going to speak words that, throughout the ages, men have never heard, because I ask that all humanity come to know Me in the flesh. These are steps in My management, about which humanity has not the faintest inkling. Even when I speak of them openly, man is still so befuddled in his mind that it is impossible to articulate them to him in every detail. Herein lies man’s abject lowliness, does it not? This is precisely what I wish to remedy in him, is it not? All these years, I have not worked anything upon man; all these years, even those who were in direct touch with My incarnate flesh never heard the voice coming directly from My divinity. And so it is unavoidable that human beings should be lacking in their knowledge of Me, but this one thing alone has not affected humanity’s love for Me through the ages. Now, however, I have wrought upon you countless amount of work miraculous and unfathomable as well as spoken to you many words. And yet, even under conditions like these, so many people still oppose Me to My face. Let Me give you a few examples:

Eastern Lightning| Full Praise | Latin Dance ''Praise the Accomplishment of God's Work"

God’s wisdom and almightiness are shown forth in the change and renewal of all things. The people of God sing and dance to praise the accomplishment of God’s work. At this time, human beings have cast away their filth and corruption amidst the work of God, thus submitting to God and living out the reality of God’s word. They can accept God’s commission and bear witness to God’s faithfulness and righteousness, and have true praise for God in their real experience.

Praise the Accomplishment of God’s Work

1. God’s work changes so fast, unfathomable and convincing to man. The scenes today are different from before, all of them are beautiful and new. All and every one are revived, are renewed and are holy. They praise God full of joy, their voice rending the third heaven. Praise! Cheer! Sing! All the people praise God heartily. Praise! Cheer! Sing! All the people praise God heartily.

Eastern Lightning| The Fifth Utterance

When My Spirit gives voice, it expresses the whole of My disposition. Are you clear on this? To be unclear on this point would be tantamount to opposing Me directly. Have you truly seen the importance that lies herein? Do you really know how much effort, how much energy, I expend on you? Do you really dare to lay bare what you have done before Me? And you have the nerve to call yourselves My people to My face—you have no sense of shame, still less any reason! Sooner or later, people like this will be expelled from My house. Don’t you come the old soldier with Me, thinking that you have stood for My testimony! Is this something that humanity is capable of doing? If nothing remained of your intentions and your goals, you would long since have struck out on a different path. Do you think I don’t know how much the human heart can hold? From this time forth, in all things you must enter into the reality of practice; merely flapping your gums, as you used to do, will no longer get you by. In the past, most of you managed to sponge under My roof; the fact that you are able to stand firm today is entirely due to the severity of My words. Do you think that My words are randomly spoken without an object? Impossible!

Eastern Lightning| Live in God's Love - "Right Here, Right Now, We Get Together" (Official Music Video)

Right Here, Right Now, We Get Together

I

Loving each other, we are family. Ah … ah…

Right here, right now, we get together; a gathering of people loving God.

Without bias, closely attached, happiness and sweetness filling our hearts.

Yesterday we left regret and guilt; today we understand each other, live in God’s love.

Together, so happy we are, free from flesh. Brothers, sisters, love each other; we are family.

Without bias, closely attached. Ah … ah….

  

Eastern Lightning| The Fourth Utterance

All of My people who serve before Me should think back on the past: Was your love for Me tainted by impurity? Was your loyalty to Me pure and wholehearted? Was your knowledge of Me true? How much of a place did I hold within your hearts? Did I fill their entirety? How much did My words accomplish within you? Don’t take Me for a fool! These things are perfectly clear to Me! Today, as the voice of My salvation is uttered forth, has there been some increase in your love for Me? Has part of your loyalty to Me become pure? Has your knowledge of Me deepened? Did the praise of the past lay a solid foundation for your knowledge today? How much of your inside is occupied by My Spirit? How much of a place does My image hold within you? Have My utterances struck you at your Achilles’ heel? Do you truly feel that you have nowhere to hide your shame? Do you truly believe that you are unqualified to be My people? If you are completely oblivious to the questions above, then this shows that you are fishing in murky waters, that you are only there to make up the numbers, and at the time preordained by Me, you will surely be eliminated and cast into the bottomless pit for a second time. These are My words of warning, and any who take them lightly will be struck by My judgment, and, at the appointed time, will be assailed by disaster. Is this not so? Do I still need to provide examples to illustrate this? Must I speak more plainly to provide a benchmark for you? From the time of creation until today, many people have disobeyed My words and thus been cast out and eliminated from My stream of recovery; ultimately, their bodies perish and their spirits are cast into Hades, and even today they are still subjected to grievous punishment. Many people have followed My words, but they have gone against My enlightenment and illumination, and have thus been kicked aside by Me, falling under the domain of Satan and becoming those who oppose Me. (Today all those who directly oppose Me obey only the superficialities of My words, and disobey the substance of My words.) There have been many, too, who have merely listened to the words I spoke yesterday, who have held on to the junk of the past and not treasured the produce of the present day. These people have not only been taken captive by Satan, but have become eternal sinners and become My enemies, and they directly oppose Me. Such people are the objects of My judgment at the height of My wrath, and today they are still blind, still within the dark dungeons (which is to say, such people are rotten, benumbed corpses that are controlled by Satan; because their eyes have been veiled by Me, I say that they are blind). It would be well to provide an example for your reference, so that you can learn from it:

Eastern Lightning| Willing to Offer Up My Body and Heart for God | "O God, You Know I'm Missing You" (Music Video)

O God, You Know I’m Missing You

 I

My heart’s deeply attached to You. But I feel unworthy of Your love.

Too humble to be in the presence of You, how worried and uneasy I am!

I can only make up my mind; offer my whole being to You.

I will suffer for You, suffer all hardships, till the last breath of my life.

God! You know that I am waiting, waiting for You to come back.

God, please don’t forget about me. I can’t live without You!

Ah! God’s love has enchanted my heart,

and I can never leave You again.

I’m willing to drink up the bitter cup, and exchange my whole life for sufferings.

I don’t complain about wrongs or humiliations. I’m willing to repay God’s grace all my life.

I'm Resolved to Follow God

I

Holding faith so long, now I see the light.

Experienced ups and downs, persecutions and hardships.

Happiness and sorrows, garment wet with tears.

Countless nights, stayed awake and prayed.

Rejected by the world; distanced by loved ones.

Wandering every day, having no resting place.

Freedom, just a sham, no human rights to share.

Deep hatred of Satan! When to right the wrong?

This world, dark and evil, I desire more the light of my life.

Christ is the truth, the way, and the life. I've made up my mind to follow Him.

This world, dark and evil, I desire more the light of my life.

Christ is the truth, the way, and the life. I've made up my mind to follow Him.

Eastern Lightning| The Spiritual Awakening - "For Whom Man Should Live" (Official Music Video)

 

For Whom Man Should Live

I

Wasn’t clear for whom man should live. Now I’ve got the answer for it.

I used to live just for myself, seeking only status and fame.

Prayer to God full of fine words, yet holding to my own way in real life.

Faith based upon future and fate, I have no truth or reality.

Rituals and rules, confining my faith; I was left with nothing but emptiness.

Failing to live as a human, I don’t deserve God’s love for me.

 

Eastern Lightning| God’s Love | Ballet Dance “If I Were Not Saved by God”

Behold, God’s people are telling you God’s salvation with their light and graceful dance: Only under God’s guidance can man regain the direction for life after getting lost and step onto the bright journey. Only by God’s salvation can man break free from the bondage of sin and understand the value and meaning of his existence. Finally, man appreciates God’s good intentions and beholds God’s love and concern for him. He will not rebel against or misunderstand God any further, but only wishes to follow God all his life and devote his whole being to the work of God.

God's word | Preface

Though many people believe in God, few understand what faith in God means, and what they must do to be after God’s heart. This is because, though people are familiar with the word “God” and phrases such as “the work of God,” they do not know God, much less do they know His work. No wonder, then, that all those who do not know God are possessed of a muddled belief. People do not take belief in God seriously because believing in God is too unfamiliar, too strange for them. In this way, they fall short of the demands of God. In other words, if people do not know God, do not know His work, then they are not fit for God’s use, much less can they fulfill the desire of God. “Belief in God” means believing that there is a God; this is the simplest concept of faith in God. What’s more, believing that there is a God is not the same as truly believing in God; rather, it is a kind of simple faith with strong religious overtones. True faith in God means experiencing the words and work of God based on a belief that God holds sovereignty over all things. So you shall be freed of your corrupt disposition, shall fulfill the desire of God, and shall come to know God. Only through such a journey can you be said to believe in God. Yet people often see belief in God as something very simple and frivolous. The belief of such people is meaningless and shall never gain the approval of God, because they tread the wrong path. Today, there are still those who believe in God in letters, in hollow doctrines. They are unaware that their belief in God has no substance, and that they are unable to gain the approval of God, and they still pray for peace and sufficient grace from God. We should stop and ask ourselves: Could believing in God really be the easiest thing on earth? Does believing in God mean nothing more than receiving much grace from God? Can people who believe in God but do not know Him, and believe in God yet oppose Him, really fulfill the desire of God?

Eastern Lightning| Mighty To Save | “During the Last Days, God Principally Uses the Word to Accomplish All”

Almighty God, Christ of the last days, has expressed a variety of truths. He leads the whole of mankind with the word, which accomplishes the actual significance of the Word appearing in the flesh. From Almighty God’s word, people come to know God’s work, God’s disposition, and what God has and is, see God’s supremacy, wisdom, and almightiness, and also understand God’s kind intention for man’s salvation. … In the end, God’s word will show authority and let all people see that “God is as good as His word, and His word shall be accomplished, and that which is accomplished lasts forever,” and that God’s word accomplishes everything!
