Eastern Lightning | Preface

These fellowships and words are directed toward the many difficult aspects and areas of putting truth into practice; they are also directed toward situations where people nowadays deviate from the correct path by focusing on exerting themselves negatively and not seeking to change their dispositions. These words point out the substance of man and the current situation of man as well as clearly designate the target that people should pursue. These words are exactly what people should have. I hope that all people will treat them seriously, avoid doing things which deviate from the correct path once they understand the truth, and I hope that people will do things in accordance with the truth and have the truth.

Hymns of the Church of Almighty God | "God Will Restore the Meaning of His Creation of Man"

I

God created humanity, placed them on the earth and led them to the present day. He served as a sin offering and through this He saved man. In the end He still must conquer, restore man to his original state. Since the beginning this is the work that He has engaged in. He will establish His kingdom, restore His authority upon the earth as well as man's state. He will restore His authority among all He created.

II

Corrupted by Satan, man has lost his heart, his God-fearing heart, and lost the function that God's creature should have had from the start. He's become God's enemy, living under Satan's orders and domain. God lost man's obedience and fear, and His work can't be done among them. He will establish His kingdom, restore His authority upon the earth as well as man's state. He will restore His authority among all He created.

I suffered many hardships in the world. My husband died a few years after we married, and since then, the family burden completely fell on me. I lived a hard life with my young child and was always cold-shouldered and bullied by others. Weak and helpless, I was in tears every day, feeling it so hard to live in the world…. Just when I was in depression and despair, a sister preached Almighty God’s end-time work to me. Almighty God says, “When you feel tired and when you slightly feel a sense of desolation of this world, do not feel perplexed and do not weep. Almighty God, the Watcher, is ready to embrace your coming at any time.” (from “The Sighs of the Almighty” in The Word Appears in the Flesh) When I read it, I felt very warm in my heart. God’s motherly calling gave me the feeling that I had finally found my home, found my reliance, and found the destination of my heart. From then on, I read God’s word every day. From it, I knew that God is the source of the life of all things, and God is sovereign over everyone’s destiny, and Almighty God is the only reliance and salvation of mankind. In order to understand more truths, I actively attended meetings. In the Church of Almighty God, I saw that all the brothers and sisters were simple and open. Being together with them, I felt very secure and released in my heart and enjoyed the happiness and joy I had never had in the world. Thus, I was full of confidence and hope in my future life. To repay God’s love, I began to perform duty in the church. Unexpectedly, the CCP government simply didn’t allow people to believe in the true God and walk the right way, and I was arrested and persecuted inhumanly by the CCP government because of believing in God.

Eastern Lightning | Gospel Movie clip "Break the Spell" (4) - Is Faith in the Bible Equivalent to Faith in the Lord?

Most pastors and elders of the religious world believe that the Bible represents the Lord, and that believing in the Lord is believing in the Bible, and believing in the Bible is believing in the Lord. They believe that if one departs from the Bible then he cannot be called a believer, and that one can be saved and can enter the kingdom of heaven so long as he clings to the Bible. Can the Bible really represent the Lord? What exactly is the relationship between the Bible and the Lord? The Lord Jesus said, "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). Almighty God says, "After all, which is greater: God or the Bible? Why must God's work be according to the Bible? Could it be that God has no right to exceed the Bible? Can God not depart from the Bible and do other work? Why did Jesus and His disciples not keep the Sabbath? ... You should know which came first, God or the Bible! Being the Lord of the Sabbath, could He not also be the Lord of the Bible?" (The Word Appears in the Flesh).

Wang Cheng    Hebei Province

When I believed in Jesus, I was persecuted by the CCP government. It often obstructed and suppressed me on the “charge” of “believing in Jesus,” and asked the village cadres to go to my home at intervals to investigate me on believing in God. In 1998, I accepted Almighty God’s end-time work. Hearing the Creator’s personal utterance, I felt unspeakably excited. Under the encouragement of God’s love, I made a firm resolution: Whatever happens, I’ll follow Almighty God to the end. At that time, I was very active in attending meetings and preaching the gospel. Therefore, I caught the CCP government’s attention again. It persecuted me more severely, so that I couldn’t believe in God normally at home and had to leave home to perform duty.

In 2006, I was in charge of the work of printing books on believing in God in the church. Once, on the way of transporting books, the brothers and sisters who escorted books and the driver of the printing factory we hired were unfortunately arrested by the CCP police. At that time, ten thousand books of The Word Appears in the Flesh in the van were all confiscated. Later, because the driver sold out, a dozen or so brothers and sisters were arrested in succession. This incident created a great stir in two provinces, and the Central Committee directly supervised the handling of the case. Learning that I was a leader, the CCP government spared no expenses to send armed police to investigate the area where I worked. Moreover, it confiscated two cars and one van of the printing factory we cooperated with and took away 65,500 yuan from the factory. And it also robbed our escorts of over 3,000 yuan. Not only so, the police searched my house twice. Each time, they broke in and smashed and broke everything they could, turning my house into a complete mess. They were even worse than robbers and thieves! Afterward, because of failing to catch me, the CCP government arrested my neighbors and those who were related to me, forcing them to tell my whereabouts.

Eastern Lightning |  "Chinese Gospel Choir 19th Performance"

Under a starry, quiet and peaceful night sky, a group of Christians earnestly awaiting the return of the Savior sing and dance to cheerful music. When they hear the joyful news “God has returned” and “God has uttered new words”, they are surprised and excited. They think: “God has returned? He has already appeared?!” With curiosity and uncertainty, one after another, they step into the journey of seeking God’s new words. In their arduous seeking, some people are questioning while others simply accept it. Some people look on without comment, while others make suggestions and search for answers in the Bible—they look but in the end it is fruitless…. Just when they become discouraged, a witness brings them a copy of the Age of Kingdom Bible, and they are deeply attracted to the words in the book. What kind of book is this really? Have they actually found the new words that God has uttered in that book? Have they welcomed the appearance of God?

Eastern Lightning | Gospel Movie clip (5) - Understanding the Significance of God Twice Becoming Flesh

The first incarnation of God was nailed to the cross, thus concluding the work of redeeming mankind. In the last days, the second incarnation of God expresses the truth and does His work of judgment and chastisement, saving man utterly from the domain of Satan. God being incarnated twice has far-reaching significance, just as Almighty God says, "Jesus did a stage of work which only fulfilled the substance of 'the Word was with God': The truth of God was with God, and the Spirit of God was with the flesh and was inseparable from Him, that is, the flesh of God incarnate was with the Spirit of God, which is greater proof that Jesus incarnate was the first incarnation of God. This stage of work fulfilled the inner meaning of 'the Word becomes flesh,' lent deeper meaning to 'the Word was with God, and the Word was God,' ..." (The Word Appears in the Flesh).
