What Does God Imply Us in Amos 8:11 by Mentioning the Church’s Desolation in the Last Days?

By Qiulin

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.

2019 English Christian Song | "The Significance of God’s Name"

2019 English Christian Hymn  | "The Significance of God’s Name"

Intro

In each stage of God’s work, there’s a basis for His name.

It holds special meaning, each name stands for one age.

Verse 1

God’s names through the ages—Jehovah, Jesus and Messiah—

all represent God’s Spirit, but not His entirety.

All the names He is called on earth cannot articulate

all His disposition, all that He has, all that He is.

Chorus

He was called Jesus, Jehovah, Messiah,

but when the last days come, His name will change again.

The whole age will come to an end under His name,

the powerful Almighty God.

Who Is a Truly Righteous Man in God’s Eyes?

By Chengshi

The Lord Jesus said, “Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father” (Matthew 13:43). These words tell us that only righteous man can enter God’s kingdom, and enjoy the blessings of the heavenly kingdom. So what kind of people are righteous? Most Christians reckon that as long as we accept the Lord Jesus’ salvation, persistently attend meetings, often pray and read the Bible, show others tolerance, patience and love, can suffer, work, trek and expend, we will then be righteous man in God’s eyes and be people after God’s heart. Is this view right? Does it accord with the Lord’s will? It’s necessary to fellowship about this topic, because only if we correctly understand the standard for being righteous man can we seek in accordance with God’s requirements and enter the kingdom of heaven in the end. Let’s fellowship about this issue.

Bible Prophecy Has Come True | "How Exactly Does the Lord Come" (Crosstalk) | Christian Variety Show

Inspirational Christian Video | "How Exactly Does the Lord Come" (Crosstalk) 

In the last days, the mood of Christians awaiting the return of the Lord Jesus becomes more intense, but how, exactly, will the Lord return? Some say, "The Lord Jesus will come with clouds." Others say, "The prophecies predicting His return also state, 'Behold, I come as a thief' (Rev 16:15). 'But first must he suffer many things, and be rejected of this generation' (Luk 17:25). 'And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom comes; go you out to meet him' (Mat 25:6). If He comes with clouds for all to see, how do we explain the mystery of Him coming in secret, suffering, and being rejected, as well as saying that others will testify about His return?" How will the Lord appear to us? The humorous crosstalk How Exactly Does the Lord Come attempts to resolve our doubts about the issue.

Gospel Movie "Come Out of the Bible" | Explore the Mysteries of the Bible

Harvest after watching: I believed in the Lord Jesus five years ago in a Presbyterian church and the pastors often said, “The Bible is inspired by God, the Bible represents God. We will be able to enter  heaven and have eternal life if we hold onto the Bible.” I agreed with what my pastor said back then. Later on, my mom fellowshipped with me the Lord’s words: “Search the scriptures; for in them you think you have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me. And you will not come to me, that you might have life.” (John 5:39-40) I came to understand the Bible only testified to God’s work and there’s no eternal life in the Bible. Christ is the truth, the way and the life. Christ of the last days brings the everlasting life. If we want to get eternal life, we have to come out of the Bible and accept the new words and work of Christ!

ends the Age of Grace and speaks words which perfect and enlighten,

Jesus walked on a path that was different.

He did miracles and healed the sick,

preached the gospel of the kingdom of heaven,

So man conceived a notion that this is how God will always be.

God incarnate of the last days fulfills and reveals all with words.

In His words you see what He is; in His words you see that He is God.

The True Story Behind the Work of the Age of Redemption

   My entire management plan, the six-thousand-year management plan, consists of three stages, or three ages: the Age of Law of the beginning; the Age of Grace (which is also the Age of Redemption); and the Age of Kingdom of the last days. My work in these three ages differs in content according to the nature of each age, but at each stage this work befits the needs of man—or, to be more precise, is done according to the tricks that Satan employs in the war that I wage against it. The purpose of My work is to defeat Satan, to make manifest My wisdom and omnipotence, to expose all of Satan’s tricks, and thereby to save the entire human race, which lives under Satan’s domain. It is to show My wisdom and omnipotence, and to reveal the unbearable hideousness of Satan; even more than that, it is to allow created beings to discriminate between good and evil, to know that I am the Ruler of all things, to see clearly that Satan is the enemy of humanity, a degenerate, the evil one, and to allow them to tell, with absolute certainty, the difference between good and evil, truth and falsehood, holiness and filth, and what is great and what is ignoble. Thus will ignorant humanity become able to bear witness to Me that it is not I who corrupt humanity, and only I—the Creator—can save humanity, can bestow upon people the things that they can enjoy; and they will come to know that I am the Ruler of all things and Satan is merely one of the beings that I created and that later turned against Me. My six-thousand-year management plan is divided into three stages, and I work thus to achieve the effect of enabling created beings to bear witness to Me, and comprehend My will, and know that I am the truth. Thus, during the early work of My six-thousand-year management plan, I performed the work of the law, which was the work in which Jehovah led the people. The second stage ushered in the work of the Age of Grace in the villages of Judea. Jesus represents all the work of the Age of Grace; He was incarnated in the flesh, and nailed to the cross, and He also began the Age of Grace. He was crucified in order to complete the work of redemption, to end the Age of Law and begin the Age of Grace, and so He was called the “Supreme Commander,” the “Sin Offering,” and the “Redeemer.” As a result, the work of Jesus differed in content from the work of Jehovah, although they were the same in principle. Jehovah began the Age of Law, establishing the base—the point of origin—for God’s work on earth, and issuing the commandments. These are the two pieces of work He carried out, and they represent the Age of Law. The work Jesus did in the Age of Grace was not to issue commandments, but to fulfill them, thereby ushering in the Age of Grace and concluding the Age of Law that had lasted two thousand years. He was the trailblazer, who came in order to begin the Age of Grace, yet the main part of His work lay in redemption. And so His work was also twofold: opening up a new age, and completing the work of redemption through His crucifixion, after which He departed. At that point, the Age of Law came to an end and mankind entered the Age of Grace.

What Is the Rapture Before Tribulation? What Is an Overcomer Made Before the Tribulation?

Hello brothers and sisters of Our Daily Devotionals,

    We are now in the last stage of the last days, I’ve seen in the news that all kinds of disasters are growing and growing in scale, and whether or not I can be caught up before the disasters and made into an overcomer before the disasters are key issues for me. My opinion about these two issues is that, so long as we hold to the name of the Lord no matter what happens, work hard for the Lord and do not turn back as we go through all manner of adversities, then we can become overcomers. And when the disasters come, we can then be caught up into the sky to meet with the Lord and enjoy His promise. But there are some people who say that this issue is not that simple. Moreover, the disasters are growing in scale, many kinds of disasters have befallen us already and no one has yet been seen to be caught up into the sky. I can’t help but feel confused about this, so I’d like to ask your opinion. Looking forward to your reply!

Sincerely yours,

Xiao Xiao

Hello Sister Xiao Xiao:

    That we can seek and fellowship about issues that we do not fully understand accords with God’s will. Thank the Lord!

    What being caught up before the disasters and being made into overcomers before the disasters mean are the most crucial issues to those of us who believe in the Lord, for they bear a direct relation to our final destination and the important matter of whether or not we will be able to get into the heavenly kingdom. These two issues have been separated below for discussion. May God guide us!

Christian Show "Last Days' Pharisees" | Who Blocks Christians From Welcoming Lord Jesus' Return

Christian Zhang Yi heard testimony that the Lord had returned, but as he investigated the true way, his pastor and elder tried several times to stop and prevent him, saying, "Any who claim the Lord has come incarnate are spreading heresy and false teachings. Don't listen to them, don't read their words, and don't have any contact with them!" This confused Zhang Yi, because the Lord Jesus clearly said, "And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom comes; go you out to meet him" (Matthew 25:6). "My sheep hear My voice" (John 10:27). The Lord's words say that people must be wise virgins and actively seek and listen to the Lord's voice to be able to receive the Lord, but his pastor and elder try everything they can to prevent and limit believers from hearing God's voice. Why are they afraid of believers investigating the true way? … Through debates with his pastor and elder, Zhang Yi finally sees who the Pharisees are in the last days, and who is the real obstacle preventing believers from receiving the Lord.

Questions and Answers on God’s Work of Judgment in the Last Days (7)

Question 7: Many brothers and sisters all think that our belief in the Lord Jesus means our sins have already been forgiven, and that we’ve enjoyed so much of the Lord’s grace and all experienced the Lord’s compassion and mercy.

Then why did the Lord not bring us into the kingdom of heaven when He came, but still has to perform His work of judgment in the last days? Is God’s judgment of the last days to cleanse and save mankind or to condemn and destroy? Many people are unable to see through this. Please fellowship about this to us more specifically.
