Eastern Lightning | The Testimony of a Christian | God’s Word Led Me to Forge Testimony

Xiao Min    Shandong Province

　　I was born in a poor and backward village, and lived in poverty from childhood. After I got married, to make my little life become rich as soon as possible, I worked and labored like crazy. In the end, I fell sick from overwork. The previously healthy me got many illnesses. Since then, I lived in the affliction of illnesses and began to see doctors and seek remedies everywhere. I spent a lot of money, but my illnesses never got better. In the spring of 1999, two sisters preached Almighty God’s end-time work to me. Through reading Almighty God’s word, I knew that Almighty God is the returned Savior Jesus and He can save man from all the miseries. As I read more and more of God’s words, I understood some truths, my outlook on life and my values changed somewhat, and my distressed and oppressed heart was released. Gradually, I recovered from my illnesses. I was deeply grateful to God, so I preached the gospel to testify God’s end-time work actively.

　　However, not long afterward, I was arrested by the CCP government three times in succession because of that. Every time, I overcame satan’s persecution under the leading of Almighty God. In 2012, once when performing duty, I fell into the devil’s den again and was tortured cruelly by satan the devil….

Eastern Lightning | Christian Movie | Who Can Change Your Life | ''Unchaining the Heart''

Chen Zhi was born into an impoverished farming family. At school, "Knowledge can change your fate" and "One's destiny is in his own hand" as taught by the school became his mottos. He believed that as long as he constantly worked hard, he would be able to be a cut above the rest, and achieve merit and fame. On graduation from university, Chen Zhi found a quite well-paid job in foreign trade. However, he was not at all satisfied with his current circumstances. In order to realize his ideal of being a cut above others, he quit his job and set up his own trading company. But the good times did not last for long. Because the operation was not well-run, clients became fewer, and the company's business slackened off. In the end, the company could not continue operating. After the firm went out of business, Chen Zhi was most unwilling to accept failure. He believed that by relying on his own intelligence and ability, as long as he persevered he would be able to make a comeback. Later on, Chen Zhi set up a digital marketing website and established a business on the Internet. After rushing about busily for a number of years, he still ended up in failure. Chen Zhi sank into profound distress and hopelessness … In 2016, Chen Zhi's family went to the United States to live. With the help of his wife, he accepted the last days' work of Almighty God. Through reading the words of God, Chen Zhi eventually understood that God controls the destiny of mankind, and that man simply cannot change his own destiny relying on his own ability. He also knew the source of man's distress during his life, and how Satan has corrupted mankind. He came to know that if man is to live a meaningful life, then he must come before God, accept the judgment and chastisement of God's words to obtain cleansing, and live relying on the words of God, and only then will he obtain God's praise. Chen Zhi understood some truths in the words of Almighty God, established a correct outlook on life, entrusted his whole life to God, obeyed God's control and arrangements, and finally rid himself of the yoke on his soul of "One's destiny is in his own hand," and obtained release and freedom. From then on he walked onto the bright and correct path of life.

Yang Li    Jiangxi Province

　When I was a child, my mother died. I shouldered the family burden at a young age. After getting married, I was even more loaded down with the burden of life. Having fully tasted the hardship and misery of life, I gradually became depressed and silent and fiddled my life away day by day. In 2002, when the brothers and sisters preached Almighty God’s end-time work to me, I accepted it readily and also brought my husband and children before Almighty God. From then on, the brothers and sisters often came to my home to have meetings. We fellowshipped about God’s word and sang hymns and danced to praise God together. I felt great enjoyment in my heart and no longer felt distressed or worried. My children said that I was getting younger and younger and more and more cheerful. My family often read God’s word together. From God’s word, we understood many truths and also knew that God’s eager intention is to save man. To repay God’s love and bring those who had been afflicted by satan like me before God earlier to be saved, I went out to preach the gospel. Unexpectedly, I suffered the CCP government’s cruel persecution because of that….

　It was past 7 p.m. on November 23, 2005. Two sisters and I were having a meeting. Suddenly, there was a violent knocking on the door. Realizing that it might be the police, I hurriedly put the books of God’s word away. As expected, very soon the door was kicked open and five evil cops frantically rushed in and surrounded us. The heading one shouted, “You can’t run away! Search!” Immediately, the whole house was turned upside down. Afterward, they confiscated our handbags and a hymnal, and then handcuffed us and took us to the police station. In face of such a situation, I was very afraid in the heart and desperately cried to God to keep us. At that time, I remembered a passage of God’s words, “Do you know that all the surrounding circumstances are permitted by me and arranged by me? See this clearly. Satisfy my heart in the circumstances that I have given you. Do not fear this or that. The Almighty God of hosts will surely be with you. He will be your rear guard and shield.” (from “The Twenty-sixth Piece of Word” in The Word Appears in the Flesh) God’s words gave me great faith and strength and removed my timidity, and I had courage in my heart. Yes! All matters and all things are in God’s hand. The evil cops are also controlled and manipulated in God’s hand. With Almighty God as my strong rear guard, I shall fear nothing. I should learn the lessons I ought to learn in the circumstance which comes upon me and rely on God to stand testimony.

God's Warning in the Last Days | "Only If Mankind Worships the True God Can They Have a Good Fate"

Eastern Lightning | gospel music | "Only If Mankind Worships the True God Can They Have a Good Fate"

Only If Mankind Worships the True God
Can They Have a Good Fate
Who created this world, created all mankind,
was the great architect of the ancient Greek cultures?
Who created all things, created every being,
was the One who designed all civilizations?
Only God comforts His humanity.
Night and day, He takes care of them.
All the growth and progress that man sees
is because of His sovereignty.
Only God comforts His humanity.
Night and day, He takes care of them.
All that’s past and all that will be
is designed in God’s sovereignty.

God’s Promise to the Israelites

In the year of our Lord, a male child was born in a manger at an inn in Bethlehem of Judea. Three wise men from the east, guided by a star that had never before been seen, came to the place of the child’s birth. They bowed down to Him in worship. This child was the One promised by God, who would lead and redeem the Israelites from the law.

People have but to accept the Lord Jesus as the Savior for their sins to be forgiven, and to enjoy the abundant grace and blessings that come from God. Such graces not only bring people closer to God, but also rescue them from their enslavement to sin.

The Jews Going Into Exile Abroad and the Gospel of the Heavenly Kingdom Being Disseminated

In 70 A.D., thirty-seven years after the Lord Jesus was resurrected and ascended to heaven, the Roman army captured Jerusalem. And the diasporas of Jewish people wandered the earth after being driven out of the land of Israel. Although they had lost their homeland, they carried with them the Lord Jesus’ gospel of the heavenly kingdom which had been confined to Judea and spread it to every corner of the world.

　　In 1999, I was fortunate to accept Almighty God’s end-time work. Through reading God’s word, I felt God’s holy, honorable, and righteous disposition, and knew that all these words are the expression of God’s life being. I had inexpressible moving in my heart. For the first time I felt the security and joy in the bottom of my heart brought by the working of the Holy Spirit. Since then, I desired more and more to gain these truths. After entering the Church of Almighty God, I saw that it was a new world completely different from the society. The brothers and sisters were all simple, kind-hearted, pure, and lively. Though we were from different places and had different social backgrounds and statuses, we were as dear as a family and loved and sustained each other, happily staying together. That made me truly feel that the life of worshiping God was so happy, joyful, wonderful, and sweet. Later, I read these words of God, “As a member of mankind and as one of the godly Christians, we all have the responsibility and obligation to offer up our body and heart for the accomplishment of God’s commission, because our whole being comes from God and exists because of God’s sovereignty. If our body and heart are not for God’s commission and not for the just cause of mankind, then our soul will be ashamed to face those who were martyred for God’s commission and will be even more ashamed to face God who provides us with everything.” (from “God Is Sovereign over the Destiny of All Mankind” in The Word Appears in the Flesh) From God’s words, I understood that as a created being, I should live for the Creator and consecrate and spend my whole being for God, and only this is the most worthy and meaningful life. Thus, when I heard that in the remote areas there were still many people who hadn’t heard Almighty God’s end-time gospel, I resolutely said goodbye to the brothers and sisters in my hometown and took the train going afar.

How Great Is the Love of God | Christian Song | "The Incarnate God Is Most Lovable"

Eastern Lightning | How Great Is the Love of God |"The Incarnate God Is Most Lovable"

I
After God became flesh, living life among mankind, He saw man's depravity, the situation of their life. God in the flesh deeply felt man's helplessness, how pitiful they are; He felt their sadness. God gained more compassion for the human condition, and more concern for His followers from His instincts in the flesh.

II
In God's heart, those He wants to manage and save mean the most to Him; He values them above all else. Great price He's paid; betrayal and hurt He's endured. But He never gives up, relentless in His work, with no regrets, no complaints. God gained more compassion for the human condition, and more concern for His followers from His instincts. God gained more compassion for the human condition, and more concern for His followers from His instincts in the flesh.

from "God's Work, God's Disposition, and God Himself III" in The Word Appears in the Flesh

My impression:

Thanks be to God! God has never changed His will of saving us, and has been working among us.
