With God’s Protection, Grandson Survived a Fall From the Fourth Floor

By Zhao Hengxin
  I am 68 years old. My wife and I are ordinary believers of the Church of Almighty God. We have followed Almighty God for four years. During my time believing in God, whenever my son and his wife came back from work in another place in festivals and holidays, I often testified of God’s work in the last days to them. But they laughed it off and weren’t willing to believe in God, pleading being busy. However, since my grandson fell from the fourth floor, they have changed their attitude before the calamity. Through relying on God, our family all experienced God’s wonderful protection—my grandson escaped danger and is safe and sound. It is still vivid in my mind whenever I recall it.

Only If Mankind Worships the True God Can They Have a Good Fate

I
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.

The Words God Bestows on Men Are the Ways They Should Keep

testimony,Jesus,Christ,God's word,hymn
God doesn't look at whether our status is high or low. As long as we praise with a true heart, God feels pleased. All the glory be to Almighty God.



I
Throughout every age,
when God does His work on earth,
He always bestows some words
upon humankind,
He tells them some truths.
These truths serve as the way
man should adhere to,
the way which man should keep.
It's the way that leads man to
fear God and shun evil,
and something in their lives,
and in life's journey
that they should practice,
should adhere to.
These are the reasons
that God bestows His
words upon them.

To Be an Honest Person Is Truly Great!

Feeling after reading:    📕🌱🌳📕🌱🌳📕
The Lord Jesus asked us to be honest, we also often practice the Lord's requirements to be an honest person. However, for most of the time, we fail to put the Lord's requirements into practice. What is it that stop our footsteps of being honest?
Wu Ming, China
 One day in 2004 a friend said to me: “Every day you get up early and are busy all day cutting cloth, you exhaust yourself, yet you still don’t make money. Today’s society relies on the tongue to make money, like the popular saying goes: ‘It is better to have a slick tongue than to have strong arms and legs.’ You know that I’m now engaging in the direct sales business selling makeup products, not only does it make me beautiful, I also don’t need to exert too much effort each day, I just need to speak a few words with my customers and sell my products in order to make a lot of money. Why don’t you change jobs and come sell makeup products with me?” I looked my friend over, she really was prettier than before, and then I thought about how I had been a dressmaker for over 10 years, how I hadn’t really made any money at it, and how I wasn’t getting any younger. If it really was like what my friend was saying, if by switching to a job where I sold makeup products I could make easy money, and could even become younger and prettier and win the high praises of others, then that would be much better! As I thought about this, I told her right then and there that I was willing to become a part of the company. Later, after my inspection, I ordered over 3,000 yuan worth of products, and I started my job in the cosmetics industry as a beauty consultant for this company.

Christian Documentary Trailer "The One Who Holds Sovereignty Over Everything" | Issuing the Law

My impression:
God's love of man is practical and real, His affection to man is genuine and honest. The descendants of Noah only knew how to feed their families and perpetuate their race. But they didn't know how to worship God or what things they had to do in order to satisfy God. Such mankind couldn't manifest God, so according to their needs at that time, God issued Ten Commandments to lead them. What are the effects and significance brought by the issue of laws to the Israelites at that time? In the beginning Jehovah would not issue laws, how would our living environment be? Share a video and let’s discuss about it.


The commandments and laws Jehovah God issued to the Israelites have not only had a profound impact on human law, but have also played a critical role in the establishment and formation of moral civilization and democratic institutions in human societies. The Christian musical documentary—The One Who Holds Sovereignty Over Everything—will soon present the historical truth!


God’s Words Guide Me to Learn How to Educate My Children (II)


Xiaoxue, Malaysia
 One day after dinner, I taught my eldest son how to read Chinese—just the simple words, “Heaven, earth, people, and, earth, daddy, mommy….” I taught him quite a few times, but he still couldn’t write them. He would write the first word and then forget the next one. The anger inside me rose up, and I grabbed the ruler on the table and hit him several times. I shouted loudly: “How stupid you are! You cannot even learn these few words!” My eldest son was hit until he cried, “waah, waah” and broke free and ran to stand in the corner. I scolded him, “Come over here and keep writing!” My eldest son did not come over, so I grabbed hold of him and pulled him onto the chair. Seeing that my eldest son’s hand had been beaten red and swollen by me, I felt a stabbing pain in my heart. I cried and returned to my room and prayed to God: “God! As soon as my child displeased me, I could not control my anger. I don’t want to treat my children like this. God, may You help me.” After praying, I slowly calmed down.

 Later, I taught him as usual, but he still did not learn. I remembered praying to God and I did not get angry again. At the same time, I also started to reflect on myself. Why could I not control my temper when my child did not please me? Whilst reflecting on this, I thought of a passage of God’s words: “Once a man has status, he will often find it difficult to control his mood, and so he will enjoy seizing upon instances to express his dissatisfaction and vent his emotions; he will often flare up into rage for no apparent reason, so as to reveal his ability and let others know that his status and identity are different from those of ordinary people. Of course, corrupt people without any status will also frequently lose control. Their anger is frequently caused by damage to their individual benefits. In order to protect their own status and dignity, corrupt mankind will frequently vent their emotions and reveal their arrogant nature” (“God Himself, the Unique II” in The Word Appears in the Flesh). “Some exercise restraint in their anger, while others are more rash and flare up with rage whenever they wish without the least bit of restraint. In short, man’s anger derives from his corrupt disposition. No matter what its purpose, it is of the flesh and of nature; it has nothing to do with justice or injustice because nothing in man’s nature and substance corresponds to the truth” (“God Himself, the Unique II” in The Word Appears in the Flesh). Through what God’s words revealed, I saw that I was too deeply corrupted by Satan and too arrogant and domineering, always suppressing and forcing my children in my identity and status as their mother and as soon as they did not meet my demands and standards, I could not stop myself from getting angry and chiding and physically punishing them. I actually had no reason at all. Was the reason why I got so angry with my son not because his results from taking the school entrance test were the worst of all the children? This made me feel a loss of face in front of others. “Treating my child so strictly and disregarding his feelings today is not all for his own good or to make him quickly improve his academic performance, but to gratify my own vanity and desire for status. I’m too selfish and despicable! It is because of my arrogant, selfish corrupt disposition that I cannot obey God and always want to break free from God’s mastery and arrangements and want to arrange everything for my children based on my own ability and finally bring myself and my children so much pain.” When I thought of this, I hated myself and no longer wished to live by Satan’s corrupt disposition and be fooled by Satan. So I prayed to God and asked God to keep my heart, to guide me through His words, and to arrange even more environments to change and cleanse me. Subsequently, I no longer demanded too much of my son. Instead, I patiently taught him and did my best to be a mother. Slowly, I no longer worried because my children did not learn, and felt especially relaxed and happy. When I looked at my two children again, I realized that they were really cute and lively, and I realized then how unfair it was for my children when I always made them live my way and grow into the standard image in my mind.

Best Christian Music | Praise and Worship Song | "God's Deeds Fill the Vast Expanse of the Universe"

Personal thoughts:
Praise God for His reign on the earth. The truth and righteousness appear in the world.



1. God looks down upon all things from on high, and dominates all things from on high. At the same time, God has sent His salvation over the earth. God is watching from His secret place all the time, man’s every move, everything they say and do. God knows man like the palm of His hand. The secret place is God’s abode, the firmament is the bed He lies on. Satan’s force cannot reach unto God, for He is full of majesty, righteousness, and judgment.
