The Word of the Holy Spirit | "The Work in the Age of Law"

 

The Word of the Holy Spirit | "The Work in the Age of Law"


Almighty God says, "During the Age of Law, Jehovah laid down many commandments for Moses to pass on to the Israelites who followed him out of Egypt. … 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" (The Word Appears in the Flesh).

Why Do Jews Reject Jesus As the Messiah? Here Are 2 Reasons

Lord Jesus, Jehovah , believed in God, served God, the Bible ,  the last days,
By Xia Wei

As we all know, the Jews were God’s chosen people, Israel was the birthplace of God’s work, the Old Testament predicted that the Messiah would lead the lives of the Israelites, and thus the Jews had eagerly yearned for the coming of the Messiah. But why was it that when the Messiah—the Lord Jesus—truly came to work, they didn’t accept Him, yet opposed Him and even crucified Him? This is what we will talk about today. May the Lord guide us.


The first reason was that the Jews relied on their imaginings and notions to understand the prophecies and delimit God’s work.

It is recorded in chapter 9, verses 6–7 in the Book of Isaiah, “For to us a child is born, to us a son is given: and the government shall be on His shoulder: and His name shall be called Wonderful, Counselor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. Of the increase of His government and peace there shall be no end, on the throne of David, and on His kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from now on even for ever. The zeal of Jehovah of hosts will perform this.

The True Love of God | "God's Essence Truly Exists" | 2019 Christian Worship Song


The True Love of God | "God's Essence Truly Exists " | 2019 Christian Worship Song


1
God’s realness and His loveliness
are brought out by the things so small,
the things that man doesn’t think He’d do,
for they think they’re unremarkable.
In His essence and disposition
there is no pride or disguise,
and arrogance, pretense and boastfulness,
they aren’t there for man to find.
God’s essence, like His loveliness, is not fake.
It’s real and truly exists.
God’s essence, it isn’t given by others.
It is unchanged by time or by place.

The Word of God | "The Substance of Christ Is Obedience to the Will of the Heavenly Father"

The Word of God | "The Substance of Christ Is Obedience to the Will of the Heavenly Father"


Almighty God says, "The incarnate God is called Christ, and Christ is the flesh donned by the Spirit of God. This flesh is unlike any man that is of the flesh. This difference is because Christ is not of flesh and blood but is the incarnation of the Spirit. He has both a normal humanity and a complete divinity. His divinity is not possessed by any man. His normal humanity sustains all His normal activities in the flesh, while His divinity carries out the work of God Himself. Be it His humanity or divinity, both submit to the will of the heavenly Father. The substance of Christ is the Spirit, that is, the divinity. Therefore, His substance is that of God Himself; this substance will not interrupt His own work, and He could not possibly do anything that destroys His own work, nor would He ever utter any words that go against His own will."

Best Gospel Movie | "The Mystery of Godliness: The Sequel" (1) - How Will the Lord Appear to Man When He Comes Again?


Over the centuries since the Lord Jesus resurrected and ascended to heaven, we believers have yearned eagerly for Jesus the Savior's return. Most people believe that it will be the spiritual body of the resurrected Jesus that will appear to us when the Lord returns. But why has God appeared to man incarnating as the Son of man in the last days? Almighty God says, "If God did not become flesh, He would remain the Spirit who is both invisible and intangible to man. Man being a creature of flesh, he and God belong to two different worlds and are endowed with different natures. The Spirit of God is incompatible with man, who is of flesh, and there is simply no way of establishing relations between them." "Only through becoming flesh can He personally deliver His words into the ears of each and every human being, so that all who have ears may hear His words and receive His work of judgment by the word. Only this is the result achieved by His word" (The Word Appears in the Flesh).

Bible Study | What’s the Meaning of the Verses Revelation 22:18–19 About Not Adding Things?

Christian, the Bible, faith in God, God’s words, Jehovah

By Chiheng

A good friend of Christian Xu Min sends her a book—she feels spiritually freed after reading it, and it seems to her like a book of God’s utterance. However, her pastor says that according to a prophecy in Revelation 22:18–19, no one can add anything to or remove anything from the Bible, so God couldn’t possibly speak aside from through the Bible. Xu Min is really confused and wonders, what does the verse about not adding things in Revelation 22:18–19 really mean? Does “not adding things” apply to the entire Bible or just the Book of Revelation? After a fellowship, she understood the truth and mystery in it. Read this article to understand the truth within, lest we miss His return due to treating the Lord’s return according to our notions and imaginations.

A Hymn of God's Word "Only God Has the Way of Life" | The Church of Almighty God

A Hymn of God's Word "Only God Has the Way of Life" | The Church of Almighty God


I
The way of life isn’t something anyone possesses;
it’s not something anyone can get easily.
For life comes only from God,
only God Himself has the substance of life,
only God has the way of life.
So only God is the source of life,
and the ever-flowing wellspring of living water of life.
From the creation of the world,
God has done a lot of work
that involves the vitality of life, that brings life to man;
He has paid a great price for man to gain life.
For God Himself is eternal life;
He is the way by which man gets resurrection.

TODAY IN SEOUL, KOREA: Press Conference by Chinese Christians Who Fled From Persecution

Press Conference on July 22 of 2019 Given by The Church of Almighty God, a Religious Group Persecuted in China

 Speech on the Press Conference Held by The Church of Almighty God, a Religious Group Persecuted in China

“The Chinese government’s religious persecution is true. We are the witnesses of this fact: we were tortured and detained, and we fled here for freedom. The CCP government should immediately stop the persecution of Christians, and stop its despicable acts of using our family members to incite Korean media to make false propaganda. ”

1.In recent years, the CCP is persecuting all religious faiths, with its suppression of Christianity including Catholicism reaching a peak. Even the state-approved Three-Self churches are not spared: Church buildings were demolished, a large number of crosses were removed, and countless Christians were dispersed and left without a gathering place—many crying and making prayers on the ruins of their meeting venues. Due to their rapid growth, some house churches were condemned as “xie jiao” and subsequently suppressed and banned. CCP’s propaganda uses rumors and slanders to portray these churches as “anti-social religions.” Under the comprehensive and cruel suppression of the CCP, many Christians were sentenced to prison and some were even beaten to death. In addition, countless Christians were rendered homeless, fleeing here and there. Many foreign missionaries, including those from South Korea, were arrested and deported.
