For I always treat you with complete sincerity and so I wish for you to also act toward Me with a true faith.

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.

Almighty God's Words "Those Incompatible With Christ Are Surely Opponents of God"

Almighty God's Words "Those Incompatible With Christ Are Surely Opponents of God"

Introduction

    Almighty God says, "You always wish to see Christ, but I exhort you not to exalt yourselves so; everyone may see Christ, but I say none are fit to see Christ. Because the nature of man is filled with evil, arrogance, and rebellion, when you see Christ, your nature will ruin you and condemn you to death. Your association with a brother (or a sister) may not show much about you, but it is not so simple when you associate with Christ. At any time, your conceptions may take root, your arrogance bud, and your rebellion bear figs. How can you with such humanity be fit to associate with Christ?

Eastern Lightning | What a Real Man Means

Almighty God says: Managing man is My job, and having him be conquered by Me was even more predestined when I created the world. People do not know that I will completely conquer them in the last days, and they are also unaware that the evidence of My defeating Satan is to conquer the disobedient members of mankind. But I had already told My enemy when it struggled with Me that I would become the conqueror of those who had been taken away by Satan and had long become its children, and its loyal servants watching over its home. The original meaning of conquer is to defeat, to humiliate.

You Should Seek the Way of Compatibility With Christ

You Should Seek the Way of Compatibility With Christ

You Should Seek the Way of Compatibility With Christ

Almighty God says: I have done much work among man, and the words I have expressed during this time have been many. These words are for the sake of man’s salvation, and were expressed so that man might become compatible with Me. Yet I have gained only a few people on earth who are compatible with Me, and so I say that man does not treasure My words, for man is not compatible with Me. In this way, the work I do is not merely so that man can worship Me; more importantly, it is so that man can be compatible with Me.

God’s Discipline Made Me Examine Myself; God’s Word Conquered Me

5. God’s Discipline Made Me Examine Myself; God’s Word Conquered Me

Zhang Congxian

Fuyang City, Anhui Province

I was formerly a leader in the Born Again Church. Since 1997, the believers in the Almighty God had been constantly preaching the gospel to me, no matter whether it was windy or rainy, extremely hot or bitterly cold, daytime or nighttime. However, I always retorted upon them, saying, “‘The Eastern Lightning’ you preach is a female Christ. Don’t deceive me. Moreover, you cannot deceive me. I have searched the whole Bible. It never says that God will be incarnated the second time, much less as a female Christ.

Li Mingguang

Zhoukou City, Henan Province

I Was Saved by Almighty God

I was formerly a worker of the Hua Xuehe sect. On December 2, 1998, I accepted Almighty God’s work of the last days. Only then did I come to know that God’s work is always progressing forward, understand the inside truth and the effects of God’s work in the Age of Law. And I also knew that in the Age of Grace, God was incarnated to be the Son of man, and He was crucified as the sin offering and redeemed the whole mankind. And furthermore, I knew that in the last days, on the foundation of the first two stages of His work, God has opened up a new age—the Age of the Word

The Origin of the Eastern Lightning’s Prosperity | Eastern Lightning

The Origin of the Eastern Lightning’s Prosperity

Each and every time the Eastern Lightning is mentioned, many brothers and sisters in the Lord feel perplexed: Why is it that as the religious community as a whole becomes increasingly desolate and degenerate, as each denomination becomes increasingly guarded and conservative in condemning and banishing the Eastern Lightning, not only is the Eastern Lightning not becoming desolate and ebbing, but surging like unstoppable billows, sweeping across mainland China? Now that it has even expanded beyond China’s borders to foreign countries and regions, as it is being accepted by more and more people worldwide?

Will believing in Almighty God really allow someone to not perish and have everlasting life? | Eastern Lightning

Will believing in Almighty God really allow someone to not perish and have everlasting life?

    Bible Reference:

    “… And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away. And he that sat on the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said to me, Write: for these words are true and faithful” (Rev 21:4-5).

Since the Lord Jesus and Almighty God are the same God, isn’t just believing in Jesus enough to be saved?

Since the Jesus and Almighty God are the same God, isn’t just believing in Jesus enough to be saved?

The answer from God’s word:

To man, God’s crucifixion concluded the work of God’s incarnation, redeemed all of mankind, and allowed Him to seize the key to Hades. Everyone thinks God’s work has been fully accomplished. In actuality, to God, only a small part of His work has been accomplished. He has only redeemed mankind; He has not conquered mankind, let alone changed the ugliness of Satan in man. That is why God says, “Although My incarnate flesh went through the pain of death, that was not the whole goal of My incarnation. Jesus is My beloved Son and was nailed to the cross for Me, but He did not fully conclude My work. He only did a portion of it.”

Eastern Lightning | XI Questions and Answers About How to Discern True Christ From False Christs

Question 2: As we know, now deception from false Christs occurs in every country. Even in South Korea, many are fooled into believing false Christs. This has just fulfilled the Lord Jesus’ prophecy, “Then if any man shall say to you, See, here is Christ, or there; believe it not. For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall show great signs and wonders; so that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect” (Matthew 24:23-24). I think all news preaching the Lord has returned is false. We can’t believe it! Otherwise, we’ll be fooled!

Answer: Well, from the time Almighty God starts expressing the truth and begins doing the work of judgment in the last days, then mankind has entered into the Age of Kingdom, and that Age has begun. But if people still remain in the Age of Grace, then they are falling behind, and are left behind by God’s work. When the Lord Jesus has come again in secret to start the work of “judgment beginning with the house of God,” many false Christs and deceivers will appear at the same time to imitate and disturb God’s work.
