Christian Hymn | To Live a Person Must Have the Truth


I
must have God's words with him
to avoid a dull life.
The light shines from God's word,
without the words of God,
I don't know who I am.
To keep our heart close to God,
we must read His words
and often commune with the truth.
To receive God's approval,
we must seek the truth.
The path of life grows
more magnificent under my feet.
My change of disposition
will be commended by God.
I will continue to strive
to work hard and forge forward.
Success is calling to me.

The Love of God Saved Me | Christian Movie Trailer | "A New Life Out of Tortures"


Li Yan is one of the leaders of The Church of Almighty God. One time, on her way to a meeting, she was captured by the Chinese Communist Party's police and endured extremely brutal torture. When it was discovered that she was pregnant, the police utilized despicable methods to force her to take medicine so that she had a miscarriage. In order to conceal this crime, the police inhumanely injected her with a substance that would cause schizophrenia, and administered medicine at the same time. They did this for five months in an attempt to erase her memory. Li Yan was ravaged so much that she was in a trance. Gradually, she started hallucinating and became mentally unwell…. Her pain became unbearable and she tried to take her own life many times. However, time and time again, Almighty God enlightened and guided her.

Church of Almighty God’s Sister Zou Demei Is Free

Supported by a campaign by Bitter Winter and several NGOs, the former leader of the CAG in four Chinese provinces, who escaped to the US with a false passport, has finally left jail.
Sister Zou Demei is free. This is very good news for Bitter Winter and the NGOs who supported her case and, together with the Lantos Foundation and supported by the International Religious Freedom Roundtable, wrote to President Donald J. Trump asking for her release. It is also good news for her lawyer, Mr Russell Abrutyn, who spared no efforts to secure the result. In March, the Immigration Judge had granted her withholding of removal based on his conclusion that she will be persecuted in China because she belongs to The Church of Almighty God (CAG). He found, based on statements by scholars, the human rights community, and her fellow church members, that she is in fact Zou Demei, she belongs to the CAG, and China persecutes CAG members. Although asylum in the US was not granted for a number of technical reasons, Sister Zou is allowed to remain in the country. And now she has left the jail where she had been detained in Detroit for more than two years, and is a free woman.

Ms. Zou was until 2016 the regional leader of the CAG in the four provinces of Yunnan, Guizhou, Chongqing, and Sichuan. This made her one of the top leaders of the CAG in China, and one of the most wanted by the authorities, with a substantial bounty placed on her head. As all CAG members, she destroyed all evidence of her true identity and went under the pseudonym of Lu Yao.

In 2016, Ms. Zou was informed that she was wanted not only as a leader of a banned religious movement, which was already bad enough, but on trumped up charges of espionage, which might lead to the death penalty. She managed to escape from China with the passport of another person with her picture pasted on it and reach South Korea. Since South Korea, unlike the U.S. and Canada, has not granted asylum to any CAG refugee and it was unsafe for her to live there with a false passport, she decided to move to the U.S. She landed in Detroit on January 24, 2017, where her passport was detected as false and she was arrested.

Language problems prevented her and a few co-religionists who initially tried to help her to make her case understandable to the American authorities, and her asylum request was denied on December 4, 2017, with an order that she should be deported back to China. Her appeal was rejected on May 22, 2018. On August 13, 2018, a stay of removal was granted, based on massive evidence about her identity and role in the CAG and documents about the persecution of the CAG in China. On March 18, 2019, she received permission to remain in the US.

Although Bitter Winter believes Sister Zou should have been granted asylum, we are grateful to the American authorities who prevented her deportation back to China and allowed her to remain in the U.S. “We could not have done this without the support of Bitter Winter and of so many scholars and NGOs, commented Mr. Abrutyn. I only hope that this means that other CAG members will be able to find safety and protection in the U.S. and elsewhere.”

Hymn of God’s Words | God Suffers Greatly to Save Man


1
A long time ago,
God came to the human world,
endured the same sufferings as man.
He has lived with man for many years,
none has discovered His existence.
He's silently endured
the misery of the world,
carrying out the work
He's brought with Him.
For the will of God the Father
and the needs of mankind,
He has suffered pain never seen by man,
serving them quietly,
humble before them,
for the Father's will
and the needs of man.

  Hymn of God’s Words | God Is Seeking


Your Heart and Your Spirit


I
Mankind who left the life supply
from the Almighty
does not know why they exist,
and yet fears death.
There is no support and no help,
but mankind is still reluctant to
close their eyes,
braving it all, drags out
an ignoble existence in this world
in bodies
without the consciousness of souls.
You live with no hope.
He lives with no aim.
There's only the Holy One
in the legend,
there is only the Holy One
in the legend
who'll come to save
those who moan in suffering
and long desperately for His arrival.
In the people who are unconscious,
this belief can't be realized so far.
The people however still yearn for it,
yearn for it.

Fake News that “The Church of Almighty God Is Anti-Family” Debunked by Italian Courts

Two Italian court decisions quote scholarly studies to reject the fake news depicting The Church of Almighty God as “against the family.”


A widespread fake news about The Church of Almighty God, a large Christian new religious movement severely persecuted in China, is that it is “against the family” and “break families.” Unfortunately, the fake news has been spread by Western media in articles available on the Internet, and mentioned in old official reports by the Canadian immigration authorities still available in the data base of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR)—although no longer used in Canada, where most asylum requests of The Church of Almighty God refugees are now granted.

A Youth Without Regret

God’s words,  God’s salvation, church, Almighty God , believe in God

   “‘Love’ refers to an emotion that is pure and without blemish, where you use your heart to love, to feel, and to be thoughtful. In love there are no conditions, no barriers, and no distance. In love there is no suspicion, no deceit, and no cunning. In love there is no distance and nothing impure” (“Pure Love Without Blemish” in Follow the Lamb and Sing New Songs). This hymn of God’s words was once my companion as I lived through an interminable and painful seven years and four months of life in prison. Though the CCP government deprived me of the best years of my youth, I gained from Almighty God the truth that is most precious and most real. Therefore I have no regrets whatsoever!

Hymn of God’s Words | Peter Knew God Best

Hymn of God’s Words, know God, faith, truth, the spirit


Hymn of God’s Words | Peter Knew God Best


I
Peter was faithful to God for years,
yet he never had a complaining heart.
Even Job was not his equal,
much less saints throughout the ages.
He not only sought to know God,
but to know Him when Satan schemed.
Years of service, after God's heart;
Satan could not exploit him.
Peter knew God, Peter knew God best.
His knowledge of God was greater
than that of anyone.
