Do Good Behaviors Mean Obeying the Heavenly Father’s Will?

Gospel Movie "Stinging Memories" (2) - Do Good Behaviors Mean Obeying the Heavenly Father’s Will?

The Lord Jesus said, “Not every one that said to me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that does the will of my Father which is in heaven.” Do you know what “does the will of my Father which is in heaven” means?

Storyline:

Fan Guoyi was an elder of a house church in China. In his over twenty years of service, he always emulated Paul, sacrificing for the Lord zealously and working hard. He firmly believed that he was doing the will of the heavenly Father by pursuing that way and he would surely be raptured to the kingdom of heaven at the return of the Lord. However, when Almighty God’s salvation of the last days came upon him, he clung to his notions, rejecting, resisting, and condemning it time and time again…. Later, after several debates with the preachers from the Church of Almighty God, Fan Guoyi finally woke up. He truly understood the meaning of doing the will of the heavenly Father and the way of pursuing to be saved and enter the kingdom of heaven….

At every thought of the past, the memories were stinging in his heart….

The Hymn of God's Word "The Symbol of God’s Disposition"

https://www.holyspiritspeaks.org/videos/symbol-of-gods-disposition/

I

The disposition of God includes His love and His comfort for mankind,

includes His hatred and His thorough understanding of mankind.

The disposition of God,

the disposition of God

is something the Ruler of all living things

or the Lord of all creation should possess.

The disposition of God,

represents honor, power, and nobility,

represents greatness and supremacy.

The disposition of God.

God is forever supreme and honorable,

and man, forever low and of no value.

For God is forever dedicating Himself for man,

yet man forever takes and labors for himself.

II

The disposition of God

is the symbol of authority, of all righteous,

and of all beautiful and of all good.

The disposition of God,

it symbolizes that God can not be suppressed

or attacked by the darkness or by any hostile force.

No creature can or is permitted to offend Him.

The disposition of God is the symbol of the highest power.

The disposition of God.

No one or people may or can disturb His work or His disposition.

God forever toils for mankind’s survival,

yet man never gives anything to the light or righteousness.

III

Man may labor for a time, but it can’t withstand a single blow.

For man’s labors are always for himself, and not for others.

God is forever supreme and honorable,

and man, forever low and of no value.

For God is forever dedicating Himself for man,

yet man forever takes and labors for himself.

Man is selfish forever, God is selfless forever.

God is the source of all just, good, and beautiful,

while man is the successor and expresser of all ugliness and evil.

God’s righteous and beautiful substance will never change.

God is forever supreme and honorable,

and man, forever low and of no value.

For God is forever dedicating Himself for man,

yet man forever takes and labors for himself.

God forever toils for mankind’s survival,

yet man never gives anything to the light or righteousness.

And man may labor for a time, but it can’t withstand a single blow,

because man is always for himself.

God is forever supreme and honorable,

and man, forever low and of no value.

God’s beautiful and righteous substance will never change,

He will never change the substance that He has.

Yet at any time or place man could turn his back

on righteousness, and stray far from God.

from “It Is Very Important to Understand God’s Disposition” in The Word Appears in the Flesh

God Is the Source of Man’s Life

From the moment you come crying into this world, you begin to perform your duty. You assume your role in the plan of God and in the ordination of God. You begin the journey of life. Whatever your background and whatever the journey ahead of you, none can escape the orchestration and arrangement that Heaven has in store, and none are in control of their destiny, for only He who rules over all things is capable of such work. Since the day man came into existence, God has been steady in His work, managing this universe and directing the change and movement of all things. Like all things, man quietly and unknowingly receives the nourishment of the sweetness and rain and dew from God. Like all things, man unknowingly lives under the orchestration of God’s hand. The heart and spirit of man are held in the hand of God, and all the life of man is beheld in the eyes of God. Regardless of whether or not you believe this, any and all things, living or dead, will shift, change, renew, and disappear according to God’s thoughts. This is how God rules over all things.

The Hymn of God's Word "The Sorrow of Corrupt Mankind"

1. Man walked with God, through all ages and times,

knows not God rules the fate of all living things,

unaware of how God orchestrates all things and how He directs all things.

Since time immemorial till the present day,

this is something no one ever knows.

It is not because God’s ways are too hard to find,

or His plan has yet to be realized,

but man’s heart and spirit are too distant from God.

Therefore, while man is following God,

he is playing the role of Satan’s servant.

He never perceives this.

2. No one takes initiative to seek out the footsteps of God or the appearance of God.

No one wishes to exist and live in the care and keeping of God.

But they choose the corrosion of Satan and the evil one

to adapt and get used to this world

and to adjust themselves to the rules of life followed by the wicked mankind.

At this point, the heart and spirit of man turn to gifts man offers to Satan.

Man’s heart and spirit turn to food of Satan,

even the place where it resides,

and a playground for it.

3. In this way, man unknowingly loses his principles of how to be human.

And he doesn’t know any more the worth and purpose of why he exists.

God’s laws and the covenant between God and man

fade away gradually in man’s heart.

Man no longer seeks or pays heed to God,

no longer seeks or pays heed to God.

As time passes,

man no longer understands why God created man,

nor does he understand the words from God

or realize all that is from God.

Man begins to resist the laws of God and the decrees from God;

the heart of man and the spirit of man,

the heart and spirit of man become numb. …

God loses the man He originally created,

and man loses the root of his beginning.

This is the sorrow of this mankind.

This is the sorrow of this mankind.

Woo … woo … woo … woo …

This is the sorrow of this mankind, sorrow of this mankind.

Start a New Life | I Have Seen God’s Loveliness (Official Music Video)

https://www.holyspiritspeaks.org/videos/mv-i-have-seen-gods-loveliness/

I

I hear a voice familiar calling me now and then.

Awakened and look to see, who is there speaking.

His voice is soft but stern, His image beautiful!

Suffer smite and endure great pain, caressed by His loving hand.

Then I realize it’s the Almighty with whom I fought.

Hate myself, with great regret, think of what I did.

Deeply corrupted, no humanity, now I see the truth.

With a new start, pursue a real life, fulfill my duty.

For status, compete with God, I am ignoble.

God is still God, man is just man—I am so ignorant.

Too foolish and too proud to know my true self.

I was shameless and embarrassed; my heart fills with regret.

I hate myself, unaware of for what I should live.

Devil trampled me so many years, contemptible I became.

Poisoned by the evil one, humanity is lost.

If not changed and not reborn, I have no true life.

II

Corrupt disposition bothers me, my service still in vain.

Ignorant of God, full of notions; how could I not resist?

God judges me, for my rebellion, unrighteousness.

I have seen the true love of chastisement and judgment.

God is righteous, I’m convinced fully. I’m face to face with Him.

God’s practical salvation helps me to walk this far.

God’s realness and almightiness, fully revealed to man.

Living in light, I know God and have seen His loveliness.

Determined to fulfill duty, I’ll satisfy and love God.

from Follow the Lamb and Sing New Songs

Why is it that the church of Almighty God has become more and more prosperous while the churches of the Age of Grace are all so desolate?

The answer from God’s word:

“The clearest expression of the Holy Spirit’s work is in embracing the here and now, not clinging to the past. Those who have not kept up with the work of today, and who have become separated from the practice of today, are those who oppose and do not accept the work of the Holy Spirit. Such people defy the present work of God. Though they hold onto the light of the past, this does not mean it is possible to deny that they do not know the work of the Holy Spirit. … If man remains stuck in one stage, then this proves that he is incapable of keeping up with God’s work and the new light; it does not prove that God’s plan of management has not changed. Those who are outside the stream of the Holy Spirit always think they are right, but in fact, God’s work in them ceased long ago, and the work of the Holy Spirit is absent from them. The work of God was long since transferred to another group of people, a group on whom He intends to complete His new work. Because those in religion are incapable of accepting God’s new work, and only hold to the old work of the past, thus God has forsaken these people, and does His new work on the people who accept this new work. These are people who cooperate in His new work, and only in this way can His management be accomplished. The management of God is always moving forward, and the practice of man is always ascending higher. God is always working, and man is always in need, such that both reach their zenith, God and man are in complete union. This is the expression of the accomplishment of God’s work, and is the final outcome of God’s entire management.

In each stage of God’s work there are also corresponding requirements of man. All those who are within the stream of the Holy Spirit are possessed of the presence and discipline of the Holy Spirit, and those who are not within the stream of the Holy Spirit are under the command of Satan, and without any of the work of the Holy Spirit. People who are in the stream of the Holy Spirit are those who accept the new work of God, the ones who cooperate in the new work of God. If those who are within this stream are incapable of cooperating, and unable to put into practice the truth required by God during this time, then they will be disciplined, and at worst will be forsaken by the Holy Spirit. Those who accept the new work of the Holy Spirit, will live within the stream of the Holy Spirit, receive the care and protection of the Holy Spirit. Those who are willing to put the truth into practice are enlightened by the Holy Spirit, and those who are unwilling to put the truth into practice are disciplined by the Holy Spirit, and may even be punished. Regardless of what kind of person they are, provided that they are within the stream of the Holy Spirit, God will take responsibility for all those who accept His new work for the sake of His name. Those who glorify His name and are willing to put His words into practice will receive His blessings; those who disobey Him and do not put His words into practice will receive His punishment. People who are in the stream of the Holy Spirit are those who accept the new work, and since they have accepted the new work, they should have the appropriate cooperation with God, and should not act as rebels who do not perform their duty. This is God’s only requirement of man. Not so for the people who do not accept the new work: They are outside the stream of the Holy Spirit, and the discipline and reproach of the Holy Spirit do not apply to them. All day, these people live within the flesh, they live within their minds, and all that they do is according to the doctrine produced by the analysis and research of their own brains. It is not the requirements of the Holy Spirit’s new work, much less is it cooperation with God. Those who do not accept the new work of God are bereft of the presence of God, and, moreover, devoid of the blessings and protection of God. Most of their words and actions hold to the past requirements of the Holy Spirit’s work; they are doctrine, not truth. Such doctrine and regulation are sufficient to prove that the only thing that brings them together is religion; they are not the chosen ones, or the objects of God’s work. The assembly of all those among them can only be called a grand congress of religion, and cannot be called a church. This is an unalterable fact. They do not have the Holy Spirit’s new work; what they do seems redolent of religion, what they live out seems replete with religion; they do not possess the presence and work of the Holy Spirit, much less are they eligible to receive the discipline or enlightenment of the Holy Spirit. These people are all lifeless corpses, and maggots that are devoid of spirituality. They have no knowledge of man’s rebelliousness and opposition, have no knowledge of all of man’s evildoing, much less do they know all of God’s work and God’s present will. They are all ignorant, base people, they are scum that are unfit to be called believers! Nothing that they do has a bearing on the management of God, much less can it impair God’s plans. Their words and actions are too disgusting, too pathetic, and simply unworthy of mention.”

from “God’s Work and Man’s Practice” in The Word Appears in the Flesh

“Why is it said that the practice of those in the religious churches is outdated? It is because what they put into practice is divorced from the work of today. In the Age of Grace, what they put into practice was right, but as the age has passed and God’s work has changed, their practice has gradually become outdated. It has been left behind by the new work and the new light. Based upon its original foundation, the work of the Holy Spirit has progressed several steps deeper. Yet those people still remain stuck at the original stage of God’s work, and still cleave to the old practices and the old light. God’s work can change greatly in three or five years, so would not even greater transformations occur over the course of 2,000 years? If man has no new light or practice, it means that he has not kept up with the work of the Holy Spirit. This is the failing of man; the existence of God’s new work cannot be denied because, today, those with the Holy Spirit’s original work still abide by outdated practices. The work of the Holy Spirit is always moving forward, and all those who are in the stream of the Holy Spirit should also be progressing deeper and changing, step-by-step. They should not stop at a single stage. Only those who do not know the work of the Holy Spirit would remain amongst His original work, and not accept the new work of the Holy Spirit. Only those who are disobedient would be incapable of gaining the Holy Spirit’s work. If the practice of man does not keep pace with the new work of the Holy Spirit, then the practice of man is surely dissevered from the work of today, and is surely incompatible with the work of today. Such outdated people as these are simply incapable of accomplishing God’s will, much less could they become those final people that will stand testimony to God. The entire management work, furthermore, could not be concluded amongst such a group of people. For those who once held to the law of Jehovah, and those who once suffered for the cross, if they cannot accept the stage of work of the last days, then all that they did will have been in vain, and useless.”

from “God’s Work and Man’s Practice” in The Word Appears in the Flesh

“God will accomplish this fact: He will make all people throughout the universe come before Him, and worship the God on earth, and His work in other places will cease, and people will be forced to seek the true way. It will be like Joseph: Everyone came to him for food, and bowed down to him, for he had things to eat. In order to avoid famine people will be forced to seek the true way. The entire religious community is starving, and only the God of today is the wellspring of living water, possessed of the ever-flowing wellspring provided for the enjoyment of man, and people will come and depend on Him. … One day, old pastors will send telegrams seeking the water from the wellspring of living water. They’ll be elderly, yet still they will come to worship this man, whom they despised. In their mouths they will acknowledge and in their hearts they will be trusting—and is this not a sign and wonder?”

Only if God Himself comes among man and carries out new work can man fully break free of the domain of Satan, the domain of Satan, and gain a new life, a new life and new beginning.Otherwise, man shall forever live in the old age and forever live under the old influence of Satan, under the old influence of Satan. Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! With every age led by God, a part of man is set free, and thus man advances along with the work of God toward the new age.
