Is the Work of God So Simple as Man Imagines? | Utterances of Christ of the Last Days | Eastern Lightning

As one who believes in God, you should understand that, today, in receiving the work of God in the last days and all the work of God’s plan in you, you have really received great exaltation and salvation from God. All of God’s work in the entire universe has focused on this group of people. He has devoted all His efforts to you and sacrificed all for you; He has reclaimed and given to you all the work of the Spirit throughout the universe. That is why I say, you are the fortunate. Moreover, He has shifted His glory from Israel, His chosen people, to you, in order to make the purpose of His plan fully manifest through you group of people. Therefore, you are those who will receive the inheritance of God, and even more the heirs of God’s glory. Perhaps you all remember these words: “For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, works for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory.” In the past, you have all heard this saying, yet none understood the true meaning of the words. Today, you know well the real significance they hold. These words are what God will accomplish in the last days. And they will be accomplished upon those cruelly afflicted by the great red dragon in the land where it lies.

How Peter Came to Know Jesus | Utterances of Christ of the Last Days

    During the time that Peter spent with Jesus, he saw many lovable characteristics in Jesus, many aspects worthy of emulation, and many which supplied him. Although Peter saw the being of God in Jesus in many ways, and saw many lovable qualities, at first he did not know Jesus. Peter began following Jesus when he was 20 years old, and continued so for six years. During that time, he never came to know Jesus, but was willing to follow Him purely out of admiration for Him. When Jesus first called to him on the shores of the Sea of Galilee, He asked: “Simon, son of Jonah, will you follow Me?” Peter said: “I must follow he who is sent by the heavenly Father. I must acknowledge he who is chosen by the Holy Spirit. I will follow You.” At the time, Peter had heard tell of a man named Jesus, the greatest of the prophets, God’s beloved Son, and Peter was constantly hoping to find Him, hoping for a chance to see Him (because that is how he was then led by the Holy Spirit).

Touching Hymn: God Incarnate Comes to the World to Save Man

💓 Touching Hymn: God Incarnate Comes to the World to Save Man | Eastern Lightning

"A long time ago, God came to the world, and since has endured the same sufferings as man. God's lived with man for so many years, yet none discover His existence here. Endures with no complaint the world's misery, while doing the work He has brought with Himself. For His father's will and needs of all mankind, for His father's will, He endures and suffers. Humbles Himself, serves man quietly, for His father's will.

Became flesh in this time to finish work undone. Brings judgement to all and leads this age to completion. He conquers mankind, He saves them from pain and from darknesses' hold, changing their disposition. He's never complained, nor ever demanded. He endured it all to keep doing work as planned. For His father's will and needs of all mankind, for His father's will, He endures and suffers. Humbles Himself, serves man quietly, for His father's will, for His father's will.

On behalf of man, He spent nights awake. From up on high to lowest low, He's dwelt with them in living hell. For man to find rest, God bore earthly shame. Into a tiger's den, He came to save all mankind, save all mankind. For His father's will and needs of all mankind, for His father's will, He endures and suffers. Humbles Himself, serves man quietly, for His father's will. Serves man quietly for His father's will, for His father's will."

Gospel Movie clip "Break the Spell" (4) - Is Faith in the Bible Equivalent to Faith in the Lord?

Most pastors and elders of the religious world believe that the Bible represents the Lord, and that believing in the Lord is believing in the Bible, and believing in the Bible is believing in the Lord. They believe that if one departs from the Bible then he cannot be called a believer, and that one can be saved and can enter the kingdom of heaven so long as he clings to the Bible. Can the Bible really represent the Lord? What exactly is the relationship between the Bible and the Lord? The Lord Jesus said, "Search the scriptures; for in them you think you have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me. And you will not come to me, that you might have life" (John 5:39-40). Almighty God says, "After all, which is greater: God or the Bible? Why must God's work be according to the Bible? Could it be that God has no right to exceed the Bible? Can God not depart from the Bible and do other work? Why did Jesus and His disciples not keep the Sabbath? ... You should know which came first, God or the Bible! Being the Lord of the Sabbath, could He not also be the Lord of the Bible?" (The Word Appears in the Flesh).

“The Mystery of the Incarnation (1)” in The Word Appears in the Flesh | Utterances of Christ of the Last Days

1. In the Age of Grace, John paved the way for Jesus. He could not do the work of God Himself and merely fulfilled the duty of man. Though John was the forerunner of the Lord, he could not represent God; he was only a man used by the Holy Spirit. Following the baptism of Jesus, “the Holy Spirit descended upon Him like a dove.” He then began His work, that is, He began to perform the ministry of Christ. That is why He assumed the identity of God, for He came from God. No matter the manner of His faith before this—perhaps sometimes it was weak, or sometimes it was strong—that was all His normal human life before He performed His ministry.

The Millennial Kingdom Has Arrived | Utterances of Christ of the Last Days | Eastern Lightning

    Have you seen what work God will accomplish in this group of people? God said, even in the Millennial Kingdom people must still follow His utterances onward, and in the future God’s utterances will yet directly guide man’s life in the good land of Canaan. When Moses was in the wild, God instructed and spoke to him directly. From heaven God sent food, water, and manna for the people to enjoy, and today it is still thus: God has personally sent down things to eat and drink for people to enjoy, and He has personally sent curses to chastise people. And so every step of His work is personally carried out by God. Today, people long for the occurrence of facts, they try to see signs and wonders, and it is possible that all such people will be abandoned, for the work of God is becoming increasingly real.

Do You Know? God Has Done a Great Thing Among Men | Eastern Lightning

Do You Know? God Has Done a Great Thing Among Men | Eastern Lightning

"Now the new work of God has begun, and it is also the beginning of a new age. God brings to His house those redeemed to begin His new work of salvation. This time, the work of salvation is more thorough than in times past. It will not be done by the Holy Spirit working in man to allow him to change on his own, nor will it be done through the body of Jesus appearing among men, and least of all will it be done in another manner. Rather, the work will be done and steered by God incarnate Himself. This is done in order to lead man into the new work. Is this not a great thing? God does not do this work through a part of men or through prophecies, but by God Himself. Some may say that this is not a great thing and that it cannot bring man ecstasy. Nonetheless, I will say to you that the work of God is not merely this, but something much greater and much more."
