Christian Variety Show "Community 'Scouts'" (2018 Short Sketch)

Understanding:
In order to get the rewards, the community director did the work of monitoring and guarding very considerately, and the HD cameras were installed in the community. Outwardly, people living here were quite safe, but the cameras were used not to arrest the thieves and the evil. Instead, they used to monitor the believers in God. The community director asked residents to report the believers as soon as they found by promising to give them the reward. From Lin Min’s family in the following video, you will see how these sisters escaped from the arrest of the Chinese police and from the video, you will also see the true color of the CCP of attempting to abolish the religious belief.


The Chinese Communist Party, to eradicate religious faith, uses neighborhood and village committees and various random people to closely monitor Christians and institutes a "reward for reporting" system in an attempt to round up every Christian. The skit Community "Scouts" examines how the Christian Lin Min, because of a reputation for believing in God, is secretly monitored by neighborhood committee personnel. One day, two sisters go to her home, and after the neighborhood committee director investigates through multiple channels, she immediately calls the CCP police. In the face of such adverse circumstances, how does Lin Min rely on God and cope? In the end, can she and her two sisters escape the CCP police?

Questions and Answers on the Name of God

Question 1: It is clearly written in the Bible: “Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever” (Heb 13:8). So the name of the Lord does not change, but you say that the name of the Lord Jesus will change in the last days. How can you explain that?
Bible,hymns,Lord Jesus,worship,Holy Spirit
Answer: Brothers and sisters, the Bible says, “Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever” (Heb 13:8). This refers to the fact that God’s disposition and His essence are eternal and unchanging. It does not mean that His name will not change. Let’s take a look at the words of Almighty God.

Christian Movie Trailer "I Am a Good Person!" | The Church of Almighty God

Understanding:

I always thought that when others had difficulties, I could think for others and not to talk about things even if I found some problems of others. By doing this,  I thought we would still be good friends. I thought I was a good guy because I only said good things about people and did not make them upset or angry. My thinking is the same as the leading actor's in the trailer, but after some things happen, after she read God's words, she realizes that she is not a good person. I am also looking forward to knowing what an actual good person is. I hope I can see the feature film soon.


Yang Huixin, a Christian, has loved being a good person since she was little. She doesn't like to offend others. She believes herself to be a good person because she is kind and agreeable with others. But only after she accepts God's gospel of the last days and undergoes the judgment and chastisement of God's words does she have an awakening, and realize that she's not a true good person. Rather, she lives based on satanic philosophies, and is a very selfish, cunning "nice guy." She resolves in her heart to seek the truth and become a good person who is honest and upright…. What experiences did Yang Huixin go through that allowed her to undergo such a transformation?

Questions and Answers on the Way of the Lord’s Arrival (Secret and Open)

Question 2: I’ve believed in the Lord for over half my life. I’ve worked tirelessly for the Lord and have been on constant lookout for His second coming. If the Lord came, why didn’t I receive His revelation? Has He cast me aside? This has left me very confused. How do you explain this?

believe in God,God’s word,judgment,the truth,life

Answer: Man thinks that if he believes in the Lord for half his life, works hard for the Lord, and vigilantly awaits His second coming, when the Lord comes again He will give revelation to them. This is man’s conception and imagination and is not in keeping with the fact of God’s work. The Jewish Pharisees compassed land and sea spreading the way of God. Did the Lord Jesus ever give them any revelation when He came? As for the disciples that followed the Lord Jesus, which among them followed the Lord Jesus because they had been given revelation? Not one of them! You might argue that Peter received God’s revelation and recognized that the Lord Jesus is Christ, the Son of God, but that was after Peter had been following the Lord Jesus for some time and had heard Him preach for some time and had some knowledge of Him in his heart. Only then did he receive a revelation from the Holy Spirit and was able to recognize the Lord Jesus’ true identity. Certainly Peter did not receive any revelations prior to following the Lord Jesus, this is fact. Those that followed the Lord Jesus were only able to recognize that the Lord Jesus was the coming Messiah after hearing Him preach for some time. They didn’t follow Him because they had received a revelation in advance that allowed them to recognize who the Lord Jesus was. In the last days, Almighty God has descended secretly among man to do the work of judgment. Millions of people have accepted and followed Almighty God, but not one of them does so because they received a revelation from the Holy Spirit. We follow Almighty God because we recognized God’s voice in our reading of Almighty God’s word and communing on the truth. These facts prove that when God is incarnated to do His work, He certainly does not give revelations to any man to believe in and follow Him. Not to mention, in the last days God expresses truth to do the work of judgment. God’s utterance of His word to the whole universe is His work of the last days. All can hear God’s voice. God’s speech in the last days represents the first time since God’s creation of the world that God has proclaimed His word to all of humanity and to the entire universe. In Revelation, God said many times “He that has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit said to the churches.” In the last days, God works through utterance of His word and expression of the truth to find His sheep. God’s sheep can hear God’s voice. All those that hear and understand God’s voice are God’s sheep, are the wise virgins. Those that do not understand God’s voice must be the foolish virgins. In this all men are distinguished each unto his own kind. This shows how wise and righteous God is!

Praise and Worship Song "God's Love Brings Us Close Together" (Male Solo)

Impression after watching:
Seeing that brothers and sisters sang the hymns of praising God and played with different instruments. The big smile on their faces reminds me the happy life in God's house. There are lyrics sing like this "Only with God there is love, only with love there is family. All who love God one family." My brothers and sisters all come from different countries. We are not from the same family. It is God's words' calling and election, which let us come to His home from all over the world. It also gives us opportunity to experience the purifying and judgement of God's words, which help us start to mature in life and transform disposition gradually. We are worshiping God together in a family full of love.


Though separated by countless seas and mountains,
we are one people, with no boundaries between us,
with different colored skin and speaking different tongues.
Because Almighty God’s words call to us,
we are raised up before God’s throne.

Though separated by countless seas and mountains,
we are one people, with no boundaries between us,
with different colored skin and speaking different tongues.
Because Almighty God’s words call to us,
we are raised up before God’s throne.
There is the elderly, with hair all white,
and the young, bright and radiant.
Hand in hand, shoulder to shoulder,
we walk on together through wind and rain, encouraging each other in adversity.
With one mind we fulfill our duty.
Our hearts are connected, we become confidants in life.
God’s love brings us closer together.

What Is Incarnation? What Is the Essence of Incarnation?

Bible Verses for Reference:
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God (Jhn 1:1).
And the Word was made flesh, and dwelled among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth (Jhn 1:14).
believe in God,God’s word,judgment,the truth,life
Jesus said to him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet have you not known me, Philip? he that has seen me has seen the Father; and how say you then, Show us the Father? Believe you not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak to you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwells in me, he does the works. Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me: or else believe me for the very works' sake (Jhn 14:9-11).
I and my Father are one (Jhn 10:30).
Relevant Words of God:
The meaning of incarnation is that God appears in the flesh, and He comes to work among man of His creation in the image of a flesh. So, for God to be incarnated, He must first be flesh, flesh with normal humanity; this, at the very least, must be true. In fact, the implication of God’s incarnation is that God lives and works in the flesh, God in His very essence becomes flesh, becomes a man.

Gospel Music 2018 - God Ruling Over the Beginning and the Future of Mankind

My impression:

Today I watched the documentary “The One Who Holds Sovereignty Over Everything” - God Ruling Over the Beginning and the Future of Mankind, I just found that whether one is wealthy or poor, or how many ups and downs we have to go through, they are not controlled in our own hands. Thinking back I was fighting for a better life, dreaming I could buy an apartment in downtown when I had enough money. But, changes always go beyond plans. No matter how much money I had, it was spent out because of my husband’s sick. I was always thinking why my life was so hard… When I was still fighting for my plan of life, God arranged me to listen to His word. From His word I understand that no matter how much wealth we have is actually arranged by God. If we want to be free from these troubles and pains, we can only come before God and live by the God’s word can our lives be easy. 


From when we come wailing into the world, we begin playing different roles in life. We move from birth to old age to illness to death, we go between joy and sorrow…. Where does mankind really come from, and where will we really go? Who controlled man's beginnings, and who commands his future? Today, all will be revealed …

Why God Calls the First Age the Age of Law

Harvest after reading:
  God Is the Truth, the Way, and the Life. The Israelites at that time keep the commandments, God blessed them for a thousand generations. When they violated the Ten Commandments, they will be stoned to death or be burnt to death. From it, I see that God’s almightiness and wisdom is not just about issuing commandments to the Israelites, but also bringing mankind to the present day. The laws of the nations in the world nowadays have the commandments of the Lord as the foundation. For example, murder is a crime, if one breaks the law, he will go to jail. People constrain their behaviors because of the law, and so crime is controlled. The people on earth can lead serene and contented lives.God! I’ve felt your love and seen how wonderful your work is! God's Words Bestows on Men Are the Ways They Should Keep.

Praise, Jehovah,Life,truth,Judgment,

  During the Age of Law, Jehovah laid down many commandments for Moses to pass on to the Israelites who followed him out of Egypt. These commandments were given by Jehovah to the Israelites, and bore no relation to the Egyptians; they were meant to restrain the Israelites. God used the commandments to demand of them. Whether they observed the Sabbath, whether they respected their parents, whether they worshiped idols, and so forth: these were the principles by which they were judged sinful or righteous. Among them, there were some who were stricken by Jehovah’s fire, some who were stoned to death, and some who received Jehovah’s blessing, and this was determined according to whether or not they obeyed these commandments. Those who did not observe the Sabbath would be stoned to death. Those priests who did not observe the Sabbath would be stricken by Jehovah’s fire. Those who did not show respect to their parents would also be stoned to death. This was all commended by Jehovah. Jehovah established His commandments and laws so that, as He led them in their lives, the people would listen to and obey His word and not rebel against Him. He used these laws to keep the newborn human race under control, the better to lay the foundation for His future work. And so, based on the work that Jehovah did, the first age was called the Age of Law.
