What Does “Pray Without Ceasing” Mean? What Is the Significance of It?

By Li Chen

1. What does praying without ceasing refer to?

Regarding the apostle Paul’s words “pray without ceasing” (1 Thessalonians 5:17), many people interpret them as constantly speaking to God and consider it a very difficult thing to accomplish. In fact, praying without ceasing is not some sort of outward ritual. Instead, it refers to us Christians honoring God as great, relying on and looking to God, communicating with God in our spirits and living before God at all times. Praying without ceasing does not hold to a certain format, nor is it limited to a fixed time or place. Regardless of whether we are free or busy, strong or weak, whether our environment is comfortable or harsh, whether we have difficulties or not, or whether we have made transgressions or not, we can pray to God and communicate with Him. Even when our hands are busy doing something, we can still pray to God in our hearts. Whether we are sitting on the bus, working, or preaching, we can always pray to God, draw close to Him with heart, and quiet our hearts before the Lord. In short, we can practice praying at any time and any place.

South Korean False Demonstrations Against The Church of Almighty God Refugees End in Disgrace

Police intervention stops further false demonstrations by CCP executives and anti-cultists harassing harmless refugees in Korea. 

Bitter Winter has reported in the last few days about false “spontaneous demonstrations” organized in South Korea against The Church of Almighty God (CAG) by Chinese Communist Party (CCP) executives who came from China for this purpose, with relatives of CAG asylum seekers they had “persuaded” to join them and local anti-cultists led by pro-Chinese activist Ms. O Myung-ok. For a fortunate coincidence, the Austrian journalist Peter Zoehrer, secretary of FOREF (Forum for Religious Freedom Europe), was in Seoul for collecting material about CAG members who suffered torture in China, and was able to document and photograph the events for Bitter Winter.

God's Word | "God Himself, the Unique VII" (Part 3) - "God Is the Source of Life for All Things (I)"

God's Word | "God Himself, the Unique VII" (Part 3) - "God Is the Source of Life for All Things (I)"

Almighty God says, "God made all things interconnected, mutually intertwined, and interdependent. He used this method and these rules to maintain the survival and existence of all things and in this way mankind has lived quietly and peacefully and has grown and multiplied from one generation to the next in this living environment up to the present day. God balances the natural environment to ensure mankind's survival. If God's regulation and control were not in place, no man could maintain and balance the environment, even if it was created by God in the first place—this still can't ensure mankind's survival. So you can see that God handles it all perfectly!" (The Word Appears in the Flesh).

Hymn of God’s Words | No One Is Aware of God's Arrival

No one is aware of the arrival of God,

no one welcomes God's arrival.

Even more,

no one knows all that God will do.

No one knows all that God will do.

Man's life remains unchanged;

the same heart, usual days.

God lives among us

like an ordinary person,

as a most insignificant member

of the followers,

as an ordinary believer.

No one is aware of the arrival of God,

no one welcomes God's arrival.

Even more,

no one knows all that God will do.

No one knows all that God will do.

Man's life remains unchanged;

the same heart, usual days.

God lives among us

like an ordinary person,

as a most insignificant member

of the followers,

as an ordinary believer.

He has His own pursuits,

and His own goals.

And He has divinity

not possessed by men.

None has noticed

the existence of His divinity,

or the difference

between His substance and man's.

Who Is a Truly Righteous Man in God’s Eyes?

By Chengshi

The Lord Jesus said, “Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father” (Matthew 13:43). These words tell us that only righteous man can enter God’s kingdom, and enjoy the blessings of the heavenly kingdom. So what kind of people are righteous? Most Christians reckon that as long as we accept the Lord Jesus’ salvation, persistently attend meetings, often pray and read the Bible, show others tolerance, patience and love, can suffer, work, trek and expend, we will then be righteous man in God’s eyes and be people after God’s heart. Is this view right? Does it accord with the Lord’s will? It’s necessary to fellowship about this topic, because only if we correctly understand the standard for being righteous man can we seek in accordance with God’s requirements and enter the kingdom of heaven in the end. Let’s fellowship about this issue.

My impression:

I saw the poster of large-scale choir performance on Facebook. A light from sky flashes to the earth.  Brothers and sisters in tidy moves, stately and powerful scene. On the poster are the words "Oh, Zion! Raise your triumphant banner to celebrate Me! Sing your triumphant song of victory and spread My holy name! All things on earth!" Looking forward to Kingdom Descends on the World, magnificent choir performance, to be released soon. Sharing the great joy with you all.

Christian Hymn | I Live in the Presence of God

   

Christian Hymn | I Live in the Presence of God

I

I live in the presence of God.

Looking up to Him,

in reliance I believe.

Each person and thing we see,

orchestrated by the hands of God.

I live in the presence of God,

yes, I live in the presence of God!

I live in the presence of God,

reading His word each day,

thinking on the truth that lies within

in light of my real state.

Only in reflection

can I see my true colors.

Arrogant, selfish, and cunning,

not like a human should be.

All this has made me like Satan.

I abhor my corruption,

bow down to judgment,

and seek to change my disposition.

God's words lead me to the right path.

It's God's grace!

I live in the presence of God,

search for His will in all things.

The less conformed to man's thoughts,

the more truth to be found.

I live in the presence of God,

yes, I live in the presence of God!
