“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).
What is it that man has received since he first believed in God? What have you known about God? How much have you changed because of your belief in God? Now you all know that man’s belief in God is not solely for salvation of the soul and welfare of the flesh, nor is it to enrich his life through love of God, and so on. As it stands, if you love God for the sake of welfare of the flesh or momentary pleasure, then even if, in the end, your love for God reaches its peak and you ask for nothing, this love you seek is still an impure love and not pleasing to God. Those who use love for God to enrich their dull lives and fill a void in their heart are those who seek to live in ease, not those who truly seek to love God. This kind of love is against one’s will, a pursuit of emotional pleasure, and God does not need this kind of love. What kind, then, is a love such as yours? For what do you love God? How much true love do you have for God now? The love of most among you is as previously mentioned. This kind of love can only maintain the status quo; it cannot attain eternal constancy, nor take root in man. This kind of love is that of a flower which bears no fruit after it has bloomed then withered. In other words, after you have loved God once in such a way and there is no one to lead you on the path ahead, then you will fall. If you can only love God in the times of loving God and you make no changes to your life disposition afterward, then you will continue to be shrouded by the influence of darkness, unable to escape, and still unable to break free from being manipulated and fooled by Satan. No such man can be fully gained by God; in the end, their spirit, soul, and body will still belong to Satan. This is unquestionable. All those who cannot be fully gained by God will return to their original place, that is, back to Satan, and they will go down to the lake that burns with fire and brimstone to accept the next step of punishment from God. Those gained by God are those who rebel against Satan and escape from its domain. Such men will be officially numbered among the people of the kingdom. This is how the people of the kingdom come to be. Are you willing to be this kind of person? Are you willing to be gained by God? Are you willing to escape from the domain of Satan and return to God? Do you now belong to Satan or are you numbered among the people of the kingdom? Such things should all be clear and require no further explanation.
When
I was a child, my mother died. I shouldered the family burden at a
young age. After getting married, I was even more loaded down with the
burden of life. Having fully tasted the hardship and misery of life, I
gradually became depressed and silent and fiddled my life away day by
day. In 2002, when the brothers and sisters preached Almighty God’s
end-time work to me, I accepted it readily and also brought my husband
and children before Almighty God. From then on, the brothers and sisters
often came to my home to have meetings. We fellowshipped about God’s
word and sang hymns and danced to praise God together. I felt great
enjoyment in my heart and no longer felt distressed or worried. My
children said that I was getting younger and younger and more and more
cheerful. My family often read God’s word together. From God’s word, we
understood many truths and also knew that God’s eager intention is to
save man. To repay God’s love and bring those who had been afflicted by
satan like me before God earlier to be saved, I went out to preach the
gospel. Unexpectedly, I suffered the CCP government’s cruel persecution
because of that….
In the matter of welcoming the Lord's coming, there are some in the
religious world who close their door and wait alone for fear of being
deceived by false Christs. They starve themselves for fear of choking,
and cling to the words, "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" (Mat 24:23-24).
They think anyone who preaches God's gospel of the last days or
testifies the Lord's return is false, and utterly refuse to hear, see,
or come into contact with them, but they ignore how to welcome the
Lord's coming. The protagonist of this skit is one such person …
This humorous skit warns us that if we misinterpret the Scriptures,
understand the Lord's words incorrectly, and stubbornly abide by
mistaken views, we will inevitably lose our chance to be raptured, and
be forsaken by the Lord. Christians need to think about how to welcome
the Lord's return, which means focusing on seeking and investigating,
listening for God's voice, and not starving themselves for fear of
choking.
Man’s life has not the slightest warmth, and is devoid of any human flavor or light—yet he has ever inured himself to it, abiding a lifetime bereft of worth in which he rushes about without achieving anything. In the blink of an eye, the day of death draws near, and man dies a bitter death. In this world, he has never accomplished anything, or gained anything—he only hurriedly arrives, and hurriedly departs. None of those in My eyes have ever brought anything, or taken anything away, and so man feels that the world is unfair. Yet none are willing to hurry away. They merely await the day when My promise from heaven will suddenly come among man, allowing them, at the time when they have gone astray, to once more behold the way of eternal life.
Almighty God says, "All of this was proof that He was a normal man, which proved that God’s incarnate flesh was a flesh with normal humanity, not a supernatural one. His job was to complete the work of God’s first incarnation, to fulfill the ministry of the first incarnation. The significance of incarnation is that an ordinary, normal man performs the work of God Himself; that is, that God performs His divine work in humanity and thereby vanquishes Satan. Incarnation means that God’s Spirit becomes a flesh, that is, God becomes flesh; the work that He does in the flesh is the work of the Spirit, which is realized in the flesh, expressed by the flesh. No one except God’s flesh can fulfill the ministry of the incarnate God; that is, only God’s incarnate flesh, this normal humanity—and no one else—can express the divine work."

Why must people who believe in God pray, gather, and read God’s word to attain new life?
For two thousand years, Christians have always prayed in and called upon
the Lord Jesus' name, believing that God's name will only ever be
Jesus. However, it is prophesied in the Book of Revelation, chapter 3,
verse 12, that the Lord shall have a new name upon His return. So now
that the Lord has returned in the last days, can we still call Him
Jesus? What mysteries are hidden within God's name? The crosstalk, The
Mystery of God's Name, blends the performance styles of singing and
recital to guide us to understand the significance of why God takes
different names in different ages.

Man Can Only Be Saved Amidst the Management of God
It is because of God’s work that we have been brought into the present day. So, we are all the survivors in God’s management plan, and that we can be retained until the present day is a great uplifting from God. According to God’s plan, the country of the great red dragon should be destroyed, but I think that perhaps He has established another plan, or He wants to carry out another portion of His work. So until today I haven’t been able to explain it clearly—it’s as if it’s an unsolvable riddle. But overall, this group of ours has been predestined by God, and I continue to believe that God has other work in us. May we all beseech Heaven thus: “May Your will be accomplished and may You once again appear to us and not conceal Yourself so that we may see Your glory and Your countenance more clearly.” I always feel that the path that God guides us on doesn’t go straight up, but it’s a winding road that is full of potholes, and God says that the rockier the path is the more it can reveal our hearts of love, but not one of us can open up this kind of path. In My experience, I have walked many rocky, treacherous paths and I have endured great suffering; at times I have even been utterly grief-stricken to the point that I wanted to cry out, but I have walked this path until this day. I believe that this is the path led by God, so I endure the torment of all the suffering and continue on. For this is what God has ordained, so who can escape it? I do not ask to receive any blessings; all I ask is that I am able to walk the path I ought to walk according to God’s will. I do not seek to imitate others or walk the path that they walk—all I seek is that I may fulfill My devotion to walk My designated path until the end. I do not ask for the help of others; to be frank, I can’t help anyone else either. It seems that I am terribly sensitive on this matter. I don’t know what other people think. This is because I have always believed that however much an individual must suffer and however far they must walk on their path is ordained by God and that no one can really help anyone else. Perhaps a portion of our enthusiastic brothers and sisters may say that I am lacking in love. But this is just what I believe. People walk their paths relying on God’s guidance, and I believe that most of My brothers and sisters will understand My heart. I also hope that God provides us with much greater enlightenment in this aspect so that our love may become purer and our friendship may become more precious. May we not be confused on this topic, but only become clearer so that our interpersonal relationships may be established on the basis of God’s leadership.
