“God does the work of the word in the last days, and such words are that of the Holy Spirit, for God is the Holy Spirit and can also become flesh; therefore, the words of the Holy Spirit, as spoken of in the past, are the words of the incarnate God today. … For God to speak utterances to carry out work, He must become flesh, else His work cannot accomplish His goal” (from “How Can Man Who Has Defined God in His Conceptions Receive the Revelations of God?” in The Word Appears in the Flesh).
On March 1, 2018, during the 37th session of the Human Rights Council at
the United Nations in Geneva, the Coordination of the Associations and
Individuals for Freedom of Conscience (CAP LC) organized a Side Event on

China’s deteriorating freedom of religious belief has long been a focus of the international community, which has repeatedly condemned the Chinese Communist government. The suppression and persecution of religious belief by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has continued to escalate since Xi Jinping took power. On June 27, a conference entitled Freedom of Religion or Belief and The Right to Asylum: The Case of China was held at the European Parliament in Brussels. During the conference, it was reported that freedom of religious belief in China has reached its worst level since the Cultural Revolution. At least 1.5 million people—including Xinjiang Muslims, Tibetan Buddhists, Catholics, Protestants, and Christians from The Church of Almighty God (CAG)—have been arrested and sent to prison or re-education camps for no reason other than their faith. The conference also pointed out that the CCP’s systematic persecution suffered by The Church of Almighty God Christians has been especially severe. These Christians have been arbitrarily detained, tortured, and imprisoned; some have even died or been left disabled as a result of their mistreatment. Participants in the conference called on the international community to urge the Chinese Communist government to respect freedom of religious belief, stop persecuting people of faith, and take note of the issue of asylum for Christians from The Church of Almighty God.
Gangqiang is a Christian. He saw how great is the Lord's love of man and
His pity for man, and he resolved many times that he would love the
Lord, satisfy the Lord, implement the word of the Lord, and conduct
himself as a person praised by the Lord. But when he gave practical
effect to the Lord's word, he discovered that on himself there were many
corrupt and rebellious things-selfishness, arrogance, lying and
cheating and so on. These corrupt dispositions were holding him back,
and he did not have the strength at all to give effect to the Lord's
words. For this reason, he was extremely distressed, and he often called
out to the Lord for help. Gangqiang later went to the United States to
work and there he became acquainted with Sister Zhao of The Church of
Almighty God. Through Sister Zhao's communication and bearing witness to
Almighty God's work of the last days, and having read some of the words
of Almighty God, Gangqiang came to know that the Lord Jesus had already
returned, and that He had undertaken the work of judging and cleansing
man, pointing out to man the path to resolve his sinful nature.
Gangqiang's heart was enlightened, and he happily accepted God's work of
the last days, and he came before the throne of God. By reading the
word of Almighty God, he understood some truths, and his gloomy life was
illuminated by the words of God …

and painful. After she believed in Almighty God, she found in the words
of Almighty God the meaning of human life and, filled with joy, she
