The Church of Almighty God—True God’s Church?

By Zheng Xun

Today I hit upon online a report entitled “Interviewing Chen Wei, the Director of My Dream of the Heavenly Kingdom—the Path to the Kingdom of Heaven …” which is released by a Korean reporter after he interviewed a director of the Church of Almighty God. The reporter Huang Ziyi said, “Moreover, in order to produce this film and spread the gospel, the entire staff, including the director and actors, offered up their heart and body. Out of the desire for service, they all took part in the filming for free.” From the report I can see that, to spread the gospel of God, the Christians of the Church of Almighty God produced the film without payment, paid the price of suffering, and offered up their heart and body. Their faith and love really moved me. Besides, the ways in which they spread the gospel and bear witness to God are many and varied. There are different kinds of gospel movies, gospel choir, and kingdom MV series they have produced on the Internet, and also many books of God’s words free of charge for those who are seeking and investigating the true way.

In little more than twenty years, the work of Almighty God of the last days (also known as Eastern Lightning) has not only been spread all over Mainland China, but also expanded to many countries and regions abroad, in which many churches have been built up, and there are more and more people accepting God’s work in the last days. Now the Christians of the Church of Almighty God are still striving to spread the gospel. In these years, we can see that although the Church of Almighty God has been persecuted and condemned by the CCP government and the religious world, it continues to thrive and grow under such suppression, which is really amazing. In contrast, other house churches in China, which are also persecuted and suppressed by the government, haven’t achieved such good results in preaching the gospel. Besides, many who ruly believe in the Lord have turned toward Almighty God, while all the denominations and sects are becoming more and more desolate. All of this really confuses me: Both of them believe in God and proclaim the gospel, but why is there such a tremendous difference between them?

Thinking back to twenty years ago when the Holy Spirit did great work in various denominations and sects, the fruits of gospel preaching were not a few. But gradually, the gospel work of every denomination and sect becomes less fruitful, and now the whole of the world of religion are devoid of the work of the Holy Spirit. Yet the Church of Almighty God has established churches continuously in many nations of the world in such a short time, which can only be attained by the work of the Holy Spirit, for it is far beyond man’s reach. From this we can see, the Church of Almighty God does have the work of the Holy Spirit and the blessing of God. For only what comes from God will flourish, and what comes from man will perish. Amos 4:6-7 says: “And I also have given you cleanness of teeth in all your cities, and want of bread in all your places: yet have you not returned to me,said the LORD. ‘And also I have withheld the rain from you, when there were yet three months to the harvest: and I caused it to rain on one city, and caused it not to rain on another city: one piece was rained on, and the piece whereupon it rained not withered.” Does the Church of Almighty God truly come from God? Is it the true church? O Lord! I wish for You to open the eyes of my spirit …

In 1991, by the grace of God, I began to follow Almighty God because of an illness. At that time I didn’t know anything about believing in God, but the interesting thing is that, when eating and drinking of the words expressed by Almighty God, I enjoyed it. I felt that His words were so good, and when I sang or prayed I was frequently moved by the Holy Spirit to the point of weeping.

On July 21, 2012, a very heavy rain began to fall. That day I just happened to have a duty to perform, so after our meeting was finished and I saw that the rain had lightened up a bit, I rushed home on my bike. Only when I got onto the highway did I discover that water was rushing down from the mountain like a waterfall, and the road was so covered in splashing rainwater that the surface couldn’t be seen very clearly anymore.

Yang Yi, Jiangsu Province

I am a Christian of the Church of Almighty God. I have been a follower of Almighty God for over ten years. During this time, one thing I’ll never forget is the awful tribulation when I was arrested by the CCP police a decade ago. Back then, despite my being tortured and trampled on by evil demons, and coming close to death several times, Almighty God used His mighty hand to guide and protect me, to bring me back to life, and take me back to safety…. Through this, I truly experienced the transcendence and greatness of the power of God’s life, and gained the precious wealth of life conferred upon me by God.

In 1999, I became a leader due to the requirements of the work of the church. Although I felt deeply that I was not worthy of the job when I first started, after a while, due to my arrogant and self-righteous nature, my initial cautiousness gradually turned into exalting myself and testifying about myself. I cared about food, clothes, and enjoyment, greedily indulging in the blessings of my status. I even wanted to be on an equal footing with God. In the end, I was finally dismissed and sent home. It was only after this that I had an awakening and realized that “status” had made me give up on God and the truth;

Every time I saw or heard of someone having been replaced and them feeling down, weak or sulky, and not wanting to follow anymore, then I looked down on them. I thought it was nothing more than different people having different functions within the church, that there was no distinction between high or low, that we were all God’s creations and there was nothing to feel down about.

“That which you are enjoying today is the very thing which is ruining your future, whereas the pain you are suffering today is the very thing that is protecting you. You must be clearly aware of that so as to keep away from the hook of temptation and to avoid entering the dense fog that blocks out the sun.” Every time I sing this song of God’s word “Enjoying Fleshly Comforts Will Ruin Your Future,” I think of time after time when I tested and betrayed God, and I feel both endless remorse and incredible gratitude.

Second Coming of the Lord | Christian Song | "The Substance of Christ Is God"

Introduction

I

God who becomes flesh is called Christ, so the Christ that can give people truth is called God. It is not too much to say like that. For He possesses the substance of God. He possesses God's disposition and wisdom in His work, which are unreachable by man. Those who call themselves Christ yet cannot do the work of God are frauds. Christ is not merely the manifestation of God on earth, but the particular flesh assumed by God, as He carries out, completes His work among man. Christ is not merely the manifestation of God on earth, but instead, the particular flesh assumed by God, as He carries out, completes His work among man.

What’s the Lord’s Will Behind the Parable of the Lost Sheep?

From: The Church of Almighty God - Lord Jesus Picture 

By Xiaoran

In the past, I particularly liked reading the parable of the lost sheep told by the Lord Jesus. He said: “How think you? if a man have an hundred sheep, and one of them be gone astray, does he not leave the ninety and nine, and goes into the mountains, and seeks that which is gone astray? And if so be that he find it, truly I say to you, he rejoices more of that sheep, than of the ninety and nine which went not astray. Even so it is not the will of your Father which is in heaven, that one of these little ones should perish” (Matthew 18:12-14).
