Introduction
Almighty God, Christ of the last days, has quietly descended among man brimming with righteousness and majesty, love and compassion. He brings the Age of Grace to an end and ushers in the Age of Kingdom, and expresses new words and does the work of judgment beginning with the house of God. Though no one welcomes God’s coming, He still humbly hides Himself in the flesh, works in many ways, and speaks in various perspectives to supply the needs of man’s life. Gradually, people’s hearts are conquered by these words possessed of authority, and they recognize Almighty God is exactly the return of the Lord Jesus.
All of them have great excitement, and follow the footsteps of God and return before the throne of God in succession. It can be seen that where there is the expression of God in the new age, there is the appearance of God; where there are the new words of God, there are the footsteps of God. It is not difficult to search for the footsteps of God!
1.Almighty God Quietly Walked into the Heart of Each of Us
Almighty God Quietly Walked into the Heart of Each of Us
God is silent, and has never appeared to us,
yet His work has never stopped.
He looks upon all lands, and commands all things,
and beholds all the words and deeds of man.
His management is conducted in steps and according to His plan.
It proceeds silently, without dramatic effect,
yet His footsteps advance ever closer to mankind,
and His judgment seat is deployed in the universe at the speed of
lightning,
immediately followed by the descent of His throne among us.
What a majestic scene that is, what a stately and solemn tableau.
Like a dove, and like a roaring lion, the Spirit arrives among us all.
He is wise, He is righteous and majestic,
He quietly arrives among us
possessed of authority and filled with love and compassion.
No one is aware of God’s arrival, no one welcomes God’s arrival,
and,moreover, no one knows all that God will do,
no one knows all that God will do.
Man’s life remains unchanged;
his heart is no different, and the days go by as usual.
God lives among us like an ordinary person,
as a most insignificant follower and an ordinary believer.
No one is aware of God’s arrival, no one welcomes God’s arrival,
and,moreover, no one knows all that God will do,
no one knows all that God will do.
Man’s life remains unchanged;
his heart is no different, and the days go by as usual.
God lives among us like an ordinary person,
as a most insignificant follower and an ordinary believer.
He has His own pursuits, His own goals,
and,moreover, He has divinity not possessed by ordinary men.
No one has noticed the existence of His divinity,
and no one has perceived the difference between His substance and that of
man.
We live together with Him, unconstrained and unafraid,
for we see Him as nothing more than an insignificant believer.
He watches, watches our every move,
and all of our thoughts and ideas are laid bare before Him.
We live together with Him, unconstrained and unafraid,
for we see Him as nothing more than an insignificant believer.
and all of our thoughts and ideas are laid bare before Him.
No one takes an interest in God’s existence,
no one has any imagination of His function,
and,moreover, no one has any suspicion about who He is.
We merely continue our pursuits, as if God has nothing to do with us….
We merely continue our pursuits, as if God has nothing to do with us….
We merely continue our pursuits, as if God has nothing to do with us….
And yet it is this ordinary person hidden among people
who is doing the new work of saving us.
He does not clarify anything for us, nor does He tell us why He has
come.
He merely does the work He intends to do in steps, and according to His
plan.
His words and utterances become ever more frequent.
From consoling, exhorting, reminding, and warning, to reproaching and
disciplining;
from
a tone that is gentle and kind, to words that are fierce and majestic
—they
all instill both compassion and trepidation in man.
Everything
that He says hits home at the secrets hidden deep within us,
His
words sting our hearts, sting our spirits, and leave us ashamed and
humiliated.
From
Him we enjoy an unending supply of living water,
and
thanks to Him we live face-to-face with God.
Unbeknownst
to us, this insignificant man
has
led us into step after step of God’s work.
We
undergo countless trials,
are
subjected to innumerable chastenings, and tested by death.
We
learn of God’s righteous and majestic disposition,
enjoy,
too, His love and compassion,
come
to appreciate God’s great power and wisdom,
witness
the loveliness of God,
and
behold God’s eager desire to save man.
His
words cause us to die, and cause us to be reborn;
His
words bring us comfort,
yet
also leave us wracked with guilt and a sense of indebtedness;
His
words bring us joy and peace, but also great pain.
Sometimes
we are as lambs to the slaughter in His hands;
sometimes
we are like the apple of His eye, and enjoy His love and affection;
sometimes
we are like His enemy, turned to ashes by His wrath in His eyes.
We
are the mankind saved by Him, we are the maggots in His eyes,
and
we are the lost lambs that He thinks of finding day and night.
No
one apart from Him can know all of our thoughts,
or
have such a grasp of our nature and substance,
or
judge the rebelliousness and corruption of mankind,
or
speak to us and work among us like this on behalf of the God of
heaven.
No
one except for Him can possess the authority, wisdom, and dignity of
God;
the
disposition of God and what He has and is
are
issued forth, in their entirety, from Him.
No
one apart from Him can show us the way and bring us light.
No
one apart from Him can reveal
the
mysteries God has undisclosed from creation until today.
No
one apart from Him can save us from Satan’s bondage and our corrupt
disposition.
From
that moment onwards, our minds become conscious,
and
our spirits seem to be revived:
This
ordinary, insignificant person,
who
lives among us and has long been rejected by us
—is
he not the Lord Jesus,
who
is ever in our thoughts, and whom we long for night and day?
This

—is

who
is ever in our thoughts, and whom we long for night and day?
It
is He! It’s really Him! He is our God!
He
is the truth, the way, and the life!
The
love of God extends forth like the water of a spring,
and
is given to you, and to me, and to him,
and
to all those who truly seek the truth and await the appearance of
God.
Just
as the moon always follows the sun, the work of God never ceases,
and
is carried out upon you, upon me, upon him,
and
upon all those who follow the footprints of God
and
accept the judgment and chastisement of God.

How to Search for God’s Footprints
How
to Search for God’s Footprints
Since
we are searching for the footprints of God,
we
must search, search for God’s will,
for
the words of God, for the utterances of God,
for
the words of God, for the utterances of God
—for
where there are the new words of God, there is the voice of God,
and
where there are the footsteps of God, there are the deeds of God.
Where
there is the expression of God, there is the appearance of God,
and
where there is the appearance of God,
there
exists the truth, the way, and the life.
While
seeking the footprints of God,
you
all ignored the word that “God is the truth, the way, and the
life.”
So
when many people receive the truth,
they
do not believe that they have found the footprints of God
and
much less acknowledge the appearance of God.
What
a serious error that is!
The
appearance of God cannot be reconciled with the conceptions of man,
much
less can God appear at the request of man.
God
makes His own choices, makes His own choices
and
has His own plans when He does His work;
moreover,
He has His own objectives, and His own methods, His own methods.
When
He does, does His work,
He
does not need to discuss with man, or to seek the advice of man,
much
less notify each and every person. This is the disposition of God
and
furthermore should be recognized by everyone.
If
you desire to witness the appearance of God,
if
you wish to follow the footprints of God,
then
you must first transcend your own conceptions.
You
must not demand that God do this or that,
much
less should you place Him within your own confines
and
limit Him to your own conceptions.
Instead,
you should ask
how
you should seek the footprints of God, accept the appearance of God,
and
how you should submit to the new work of God;
that
is what should be done by man.
Since
man is not the truth, and is not possessed, not possessed of the
truth,
since
man is not the truth, and is not possessed, not possessed of the
truth,
man
should seek, seek, accept, and obey,
man
should seek, accept, and obey.
