Session 6 Invitation

Introduction

Hello, brothers and sisters! Welcome back to join our fellowship.

• Through these past few days of fellowship, we learned that the Lord Jesus has returned in flesh already. He is Almighty God, Christ of the last days.
• Brothers and sisters, how do we confirm that the Lord has returned? [By His words and work]
  • Almighty God has opened the Sealed Book and expressed over 10 million words of truth and guided believers into all the truth!
  • Almighty God's work of the last days is the fulfillment of the prophecy, for the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God.
  • On top of that, we can see with our own eye, disasters are getting more and more serious and that signs of the last days have already come to pass.
• Some people say: "I don't believe the Lord has come back, because not all prophecies have the fulfilled. Brothers and sisters, do you agree?"
  • We have to understand fulfillment of prophecies do not happen over night. It is not like the Lord comes on day one and on the second day all the prophecies come to pass. 2,000 years, Jesus's work took 3 and a half years. If the Lord comes and all the prophecies are fulfilled, He doesn't not need to come, because all the works are already done right? The Lord come before all the prophecies are fulfilled because only the Lord can do God's own work. If we wait until the Lord fulfills all prophecies, then we are waiting for the end of God's work, by then there is no more salvation to be had. So waiting for all prophecies to be fulfilled then welcome the Lord's return is the wrong approach.
  • Actually, most of the Bible prophecies have been fulfilled. Today, we will learn about other prophecies Almighty God has already fulfilled. We will also learn about the location of the Lord's appearance in the last days. 2,000 years ago, the Lord Jesus was born in Israel, in the last days, which country did Almighty God come to do His work and why？We will also watch testimonies of brothers and sisters who have been judged and purified by Almighty God and look at how they are bearing witness for God and humiliate Satan.

Prayer

What is an Overcomer?

• Besides the opening of the Sealed book and judgment work. The Bible also prophecied that God will perfect a group of overcomers.

The Bible prophesized:

📕 “...To him that overcomes will I give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the middle of the paradise of God” (Revelation 2:7).

📕 “...He that overcomes shall not be hurt of the second death” (Revelation 2:11).

📕 “Him that overcomes will I make a pillar in the temple of My God, and he shall go no more out” (Revelation 3:12).

📕 “To him that overcomes will I grant to sit with Me in My throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with My Father in His throne” (Revelation 3:21).

• Through these verses, we can see that God’s judgment work in the last days is to make a group of overcomers before the disasters. Only by becoming an overcomer can one eat the fruit of the tree of life, that is, gain eternal life, and enter God's kingdom. This is God’s greatest blessing and promise to the overcomers. The overcomers are the crystallization of God’s six-thousand-year management plan; they are the mankind perfected by God and have gained God's approval.

• Brother and sisters, do you think we are overcomers now? [Actually we are not overcomers yet.]

Let us look at a few more verses from the Bible and the words of Almighty God, and we will understand the difference between an overcomer and a believer.

📕 “Him that overcomes will I make a pillar in the temple of My God, and he shall go no more out: and I will write on him the name of My God, and the name of the city of My God, which is new Jerusalem, which comes down out of heaven from My God: and I will write on him My new name” (Revelation 3:12).

📕 “These were redeemed from among men, being the first fruits to God and to the Lamb. And in their mouth was found no lie; they are without blemish” (Revelation 14:4–5).

📕 “These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb” (Revelation 7:14).

• Believer only believes in God, their sins are only forgiven but they have not been purified and still live in the cycle of sinning and repenting.

💎1. Overcomers are those who come out of great tribulation. No matter what persecution, hardship, or trial they suffer, they stop at nothing to submit to God, and follow God to the very end.

💎2. Overcomers are people who accepted God's new name and new work in the last days.

💎3. Overcomers are without blemish, meaning they are a group of people who have experienced judgment and chastisement, whose corrupt dispositions have been somewhat cleansed.

💎4. Overcomers can discern Satan’s lies and be able to see through Satan’s tricks and overcome its temptations.

God has already made a group of overcomers in the East

• Some may wonder: "where are the overcomers?" God's work of salvation is practical and real. Unlike people's imagination, God's judgment and purification in last days is not accomplished overnight, it is a process, overcomers are produced after people accept God's judgment, refinement, pruning and dealing. Like, in the Age of Grace, when the Lord Jesus carried out His work, not everyone came to know and accept His redemption at the same time. The earliest Christians were Israelites, because that is where the Lord Jesus first appeared and worked. Then gradually, as His gospel spread, people around the world came to know and accept Him. Since God has returned in the flesh a second time, the first group of overcomers are made in the country where God has returned. So which country is it?

Q. Does God have a nationality?

"I am the Lord, the God of all mankind." (Jeremiah 32:27)

• Some people think in the last days, the Lord will come to Israel again. But we have to keep in mind, God does not have nationality, He is able to do His work in any place or location He choose. Let's first gather some clue from the Bible.

📕 “These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb” (Revelation 7:14).

This country is resistant to God's work and appearance, believers there will face great tribulations and persecutions.

📕 “From the rising of the sun even to the going down of the same My name shall be great among the Gentiles” (Malachi 1:11).

Gentiles = Non-believers, people who are not Jewish. Israel is not a gentile country.

Gentiles refer to non-believers. Israel is not a gentile country since Jewish people believe in God. From the rising of the sun also tells us it is a country in the East of the world because that is where the sun rises. It is a gentile country in the East of the world, a country that does not believe in God, and a country that has the fewest people worshiping God.

📕 “For as the lightning comes out of the east, and shines even to the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be” (Matthew 24:27).

This verse prophesized that God incarnated in the flesh this time in the East of the world. God’s new word is like a great light that illuminates this dark and evil world and first it comes out of the East. When we think of the East of the world, we think of Asian countries like China, Japan, Korea, India and Russia. Now we have a general direction, it is in the East, but which country in the east? There are so many.

📕 “And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which misleads the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him” (Revelation 12:9).

Instead of worshipping God, in this country people worship the dragon. Treating it as symbol of power and authority.

• Let’s all think: Which country resists God most severely, persecutes Christians the most severely, is a Gentile nation, lies in the East—the land of Sinim—and worships the dragon?
• Many of you shared China. Is it China? There is only one way to find out. We have to see what Almighty God's word tell us. Our answers are only interpretations, only God's word is the truth.

✨Almighty God says: "Today, God has returned to the world to do His work. His first stop is the exemplar of dictatorial rulership: China, the staunch bastion of atheism."

• Almighty God tells us, this time, the country where He starts His work is in China. So, China is the country where God has incarnated in the flesh this time. China is located in the East of the world. China is a gentile country: with a population of 1.4 billion people. Fewer than 3% of the total population believes in God. People in China do worship the dragon instead of believing in God.

• This is not saying God's spirit is with the Chinese people, leading and guiding them spiritually. Almighty God has incarnated physically in the flesh in China.

Impossible？

Q. How do you feel after you learned that God has returned to flesh in China this time?

A. I don't believe it. I can't accept it.
B. I can accept it, God can do anything He wants.

B. I can accept it, God can do anything He wants.

I had the greatest diffculty in accepting China when I learned it, because China doesn't believe in God, why would He go there. One day a brother shared a passage of Almighty God's words with me.

✨ Almighty God says: “The more that people believe something is impossible, the more likely it is to occur, because the wisdom of God soars higher than the heavens, God’s thoughts are higher than man’s thoughts, and the work of God transcends the limits of man’s thinking and notions. The more that something is impossible, the more it has truth that can be sought; the more something lies beyond man’s notions and imagination, the more it contains the will of God. This is because, no matter where He reveals Himself, God is still God, and His essence will never change on account of the location or manner of His appearance.”

• These words helped me realize that I cannot use my own imagination to define where God can or cannot appear. God works according to His own will, not human notions. As a created being, who am I to draw boundaries for God? Doing so is nothing but arrogance.

• Two thousand years ago, the Lord Jesus’ incarnation also went completely against human imagination. People thought it was impossible for the holy God to be born into a carpenter’s family and live among ordinary people. Because they refused to investigate and only relied on their notions, they resisted and condemned Him, even nailing Him to the cross. If we refuse to seek and examine God’s appearance and work today, are we not at risk of repeating the same mistake?

Why China

Let's read Almighty God's words to understand:

✨ Almighty God says: "The work of Jehovah was the creation of the world, it was the beginning; this stage of work is the end of work, and it is the conclusion. At the start, God’s work was carried out among the chosen ones of Israel, and it was the dawn of a new epoch in the most holy of all places. The last stage of work is carried out in the most impure of all countries, to judge the world and bring the age to an end. In the first stage, God’s work was done in the brightest of all places, and the last stage is carried out in the darkest of all places, and this darkness will be driven out, the light brought forth, and all the people conquered. When the people of this most impure and darkest of all places have been conquered, and the entire population has acknowledged that there is a God, who is the true God, and every person has been utterly convinced, then this fact will be used to carry out the work of conquest throughout the entire universe. This stage of work is symbolic: Once the work of this age has been finished, the work of six thousand years of management will come to a complete end. Once those in the darkest of all places have been conquered, it goes without saying that it will also be so everywhere else. As such, only the work of conquest in China carries meaningful symbolism. China embodies all forces of darkness, and the people of China represent all those who are of the flesh, of Satan, and of flesh and blood."

• From this passage we can see that, in every stage of His work, God chooses the place according to the needs of His work and His purpose of saving mankind.
• In the Age of Law and the Age of Grace, God began His work in Israel because the Israelites were His chosen people. They were prepared and more willing to accept God’s work, making Israel the most suitable place to lay the foundation of God’s management plan.
• But in the last days, God’s purpose is no longer merely redemption or causing people to acknowledge that God exists. His work is to judge, purify, and perfect mankind—to completely defeat sin and Satan, fully conquer humanity, and bring His work to a close.
• For this reason, God chooses a place that resists Him the most—a nation where atheism, corruption, and spiritual darkness are deeply rooted. By carrying out His final work in such a place, God displays His authority and power to conquer all darkness.
• If even the most rebellious people can be judged, purified, and transformed, then God’s victory is complete, and His work can extend to and purify all mankind.
• Let me give brothers and sisters an example. If you want to show someone how effective your detergent is, would you use a piece of clean clothing or a piece of dirty clothing? [ A dirty one. ] In the same way, God’s work in the most resistant nation can best bring out the power in His words.

Some may ask why is China considered the darkest and the most resistant to God? We have to look at it from a spiritual perspective. China is the land where the dragon lies coiled. So what is the dragon?

📕 “And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which misleads the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him” (Revelation 12:9).

• It is the devil and Satan. You see, Satan is very cunning, in the beginning it transformed itself into an ancient serpent to deceive Adam and Eve. In the last days, it transformed itself in a dragon in the East of the world trying to deceive people away from the truth again. Brothers and sisters, if you look at a picture of Chinese dragon, which animal does it resemble? [ Serpent, it is the devil and Satatn ]. China not only does not worship God, but it worships the enemy, the great red dragon.

• China is ruled by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), its core doctrine is that there is no God and there is no Savior. Since its founding, it has frantically suppressed and banned religious beliefs such as Catholicism and Christianity. Its objective is to make China a godless land.

• To see that the Chinese government is the embodiment of the dragon and the beast, we just have to compare what the Chinese government is doing with what is prophesied in the Bible. These prophesies are already fulfilled.

OPTIONAL: ONLY READ IF CAN'T PLAY THE VIDEO

“...The dragon gave the beast his power, his throne, and great authority.” (Revelation 13:2)

“The dragon was enraged… and went to make war with the rest of her offspring, who keep the commandments of God and have the testimony of Jesus.” (Revelation 12:17)

“...as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.” (Revelation 13:15)

“And he cause all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name." (Revelation 13:16-17)

• Countless Bibles shipped to China from overseas have been confiscated, burned, and thrown into the sea. Foreign missionaries have been driven away, Chinese preachers have been imprisoned and re-educated, and countless Christians and Catholics have been arrested and tortured. Do you know how do China goverments refer to believers in God? Godized elements and members of cult.

To force Christians to completely abandon their faith, the CCP employs various methods to comprehensively suppress the survival space for Christians. They not only use various surveillance methods to prevent Christians from participating in faith activities but also revoke the employment rights of Christians and their relatives, deny their children the right to education and basic living allowances, refuse to issue various certificates, and ban them from leaving the country. They use violence and imprisonment against Christians’ relatives, applying a form of collective punishment to pressure Christians. As a result, Christians and their families cannot live, work, marry, receive medical care, or travel normally. Such all-encompassing persecution subjects Christians to enormous psychological pressure, leading some to commit suicide.

Almighty God's Work in China

If China is so bad why would God start there？

✨ Almighty God says: "In many places, God has prophesied that He will be gaining a group of overcomers in the land of Sinim. Since it is in the world’s East that overcomers are to be gained, so the place where God sets foot in His second incarnation is without a doubt the land of Sinim, the exact spot where the great red dragon lies coiled. There, God will gain the descendants of the great red dragon so that it is thoroughly defeated and shamed. God is going to awaken these people, heavily burdened with suffering, to rouse them till they are fully awake, and to make them walk out of the fog and reject the great red dragon. They will wake from their dream, recognize the substance of the great red dragon, become able to give their whole heart to God, rise up from the oppression of the dark forces, stand up in the East of the world, and become proof of God’s victory. Only in this way will God gain glory."

✨ Almighty God says: "Today, God has returned to the world to do His work. His first stop is the exemplar of dictatorial rulership: China, the staunch bastion of atheism. God has gained a group of people by His wisdom and power. During this period, He has been hunted by China’s ruling party by every means and subjected to great suffering, with no place to rest His head, unable to find shelter. Despite this, God still continues the work He intends to do: He utters His voice and spreads the gospel. None can fathom the almightiness of God. In China, a country that regards God as an enemy, God has never ceased His work. Instead, more people have accepted His work and word, for God saves each and every member of mankind to the greatest extent possible."

• Almighty God tells us He will gain the first group of overcomers from China. Only in this way will God gain glory. Why is this? Why can't God gain glory if He does His judgment in Israel first? If this time, God first go to Israel again and perfect a group of overcomers, what will Satan say? "These people have worshipped you from the beginning, of course they will follow you again" What will the Chinese people say? "Oh, Jewish people is telling us about their God again, we don't believe it". So this time, God chooses the darkest of all place. If God is able to perfect a group of overcomes in China, then Satan will be completely humiliated and defeated. The rest of the world can come to see that Almighty God truly has the power to judge and purify. It will serve as the most powerful testimony to God's truimph and defeat of Satan.

• God first doing His work in China in the last days is also an expression of God's love for humanity. Even though China is the land where the great red dragon lies coiled. Do you think in China, there are also God's sheeps. People who can recognize God's voice? Definitely. Almighty God tells us "God saves each and every member of mankind to the greatest extent possible." God created this mankind, and He is going to be responsible for them until the very end. Almighty God is not going to abandon His sheep just because they were born in China. Only God's words, the truth is capable of awakening these people, to help them see through Satan's lies and deceptions. God starts His work where He is needed the most.

• This is something God had planned long time ago. Almighty God says: "In many places, God has prophesied that He will be gaining a group of overcomers in the land of Sinim."

📖 And I will make all my mountains a way, and my highways shall be exalted. Behold, these shall come from far: and, see, these from the north and from the west; and these from the land of Sinim” (Isaiah 49:11–12).

• God says He will gain overcomers from the north and the west, but spefically He will gain a group of overcomers from the Land of Sinim. Thousands of years ago, China as we know it today is not called China. Instead, it was called the Land of Sinim. So we can see, this was even recorded in the Bible.

Q. In the last days, God has returned in flesh in China, what do you think the Chinese government is going to do?

A. Welcome Him.
B. Reject, persecute, hunt Him down so that no one knows God had already come.

B. Reject, persecute, hunt Him down so that no one knows God had already come.

Since Almighty begin working and speaking in China in the last days, the Chinese government is trying to hunt Him down. It tries to silence all those who have already accepted the Lord's return. In China, Almighty God has established the church of Almighty God, so that all can read God's new words and can receive God's judgment to be purified. So, out of all the churches targeted by the Chinese government, the church of Almighty God faces the strongest persecution. This is because Satan fears most God’s appearance and work and His arrival to save mankind; it fears most the spread of the truth, and the reign of Almighty God’s words on earth; it fears most that Christians bear witness to God’s appearance and work, and mankind all accepting Almighty God’s work of the last days, understanding the truth from Almighty God’s words, and seeing through its evil essence to hate it and reject it; CCP and satanic forces fear most that the kingdom of Christ will appear on earth, and the kingdom of the world and of Satan will collapse and perish so that its conspiracy and ambition to control and imprison the Chinese people forever and to dominate the world will be completely shattered. Let's watch a video.

Brothers and sisters, what we have watched it just the tip of the iceberg. There are countless such experiences where Chinese brothers and sisters are tormented and persecuted by the Chinese government for their belief in Almighty God.

God Gaining Glory

Q. Brothers and sisters, do you think Satan can really stop God's work?

A. Yes!
B. No.

B. No.

People performing duties and bearing witness

In the land of the great red dragon, China, God has perfected a group of people who is one heart and one mind with Him. Under the shepherding of His words, they experienced God’s judgment and chastisements, pruning and dealing and received the truth as their life.

Among them, countless brothers and sisters experienced the great red dragon’s oppression and arrest. They faced false accusations and slanders from those around them. But they didn’t lose faith, they prayed and relied on God and continued to share the kingdom gospel. They lost their jobs, lost their families, lost their loved ones, and have been displaced for decades without a fixed place to live, moving from one city to another and from one country to the next, but they have no misunderstanding of God, no complaints, no denial of God, and no matter how difficult their lives are, they continued to follow Almighty God and testify to His return. Many were disabled from the great red dragon’s inhumane torture, but they remained steadfast in their faith, insist on reading Almighty God’s words, and obeyed God and bore witness to Him even unto the point of death.

Whose words can give people such faith amidst so many trials and tribulations? ONLY GOD’S WORDS!!

Whose words can help people abandon Satan and to return before God? ONLY GOD’S WORDS!!

Whose words can purify these people who were corrupted by Satan for thousands of year, ? Only GOD’s WORDS.

📖 “These are they which follow the Lamb wherever He goes. These were redeemed from among men, being the first fruits to God and to the Lamb” (Revelation 14:4).

📖 “And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives to the death” (Revelation 12:11).

📖 “These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb” (Revelation 7:14).

• The Chinese people that have worshipped the Dragon for thousands of year is now returning before God. Isn't this Almighty God's power and authority? Isn't this a total and complete humiliation to Satan?

All Is Accomplished through God's words

Everyone must be curious, what gave these people such great strength to bear such testimonies, allowing them to willingly give up everything, even their lives, rather than betray God, and still persist in spreading the gospel.

Q. How did Almighty God judge and purify the Chinese people, making them into overcomer?

A. Using signs and wonders.
B. Using His words.

B. Using His words.

📖 "And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." (John 8:32)

📖 "He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the midst of the paradise of God." (John 8:32)

it’s the words expressed by Almighty God in the last days that have repeatedly encouraged them, leading them to overcome the cruel persecution of Satan. It’s Almighty God’s words that have become their faith and their life.

✨ Almighty God says: "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.’ You have all heard these words before, yet none of you understood their true meaning. Today, you are profoundly aware of their true significance. These words shall be fulfilled by God during the last days, and they shall be fulfilled in those who have been brutally persecuted by the great red dragon in the land where it lies coiled. The great red dragon persecutes God and is the enemy of God, and so, in this land, those who believe in God are thus subjected to humiliation and oppression, and these words are fulfilled in you, this group of people, as a result."

✨ Almighty God says: "Do not be discouraged, do not be weak, and I will make things clear for you. The road to the kingdom is not so smooth; nothing is that simple! You want blessings to come to you easily, do you not? Today, everyone will have bitter trials to face. Without such trials, the loving heart you have for Me will not grow stronger and you will not have true love for Me. Even if these trials consist merely of minor circumstances, everyone must pass through them; it’s just that the difficulty of the trials will vary from one person to another. … Those who share in My bitterness will certainly share in My sweetness. That is My promise and My blessing to you."

• Facing torture and persecution everyone is naturally going to be scared right? People would think, am I going to die? Almighty God says: "Do not be discouraged, do not be weak, and I will make things clear for you.Those who share in My bitterness will certainly share in My sweetness. That is My promise and My blessing to you." Brothers and sisters, who is in control of human life? God or Satan? [ God ]

• In any age, to pursue God and the truth means facing rejection and attack. Because, people who are pursuing the truth are standing up righteousness, they will face attack from this evil and wicked world. Brother and sister, do you think Satan will just seat there and let people become overcomer? Satan will just let God perfect people? Absolutely not. So, on the road to the kingdom, there are going to be setbacks, but this is how God will perfect our faith and help us to understand the truth.

Experiential Testimonies of Overcomers

• Brothers and sisters, do you want to become an overcomer? One time a sister said to: "Do I have to go to China to become an overcomer? Do I have to be jailed to become an overcomer?" [ No ]
• But, we do have to understand how does God make believers into overcomers.

Q. How can we become an overcomer?

A. It is enough if we just believe in Jesus, read the Bible and go to church.
B. We have to accept Almighty God's judgment work to be purified.

📕 “These were redeemed from among men, being the first fruits to God and to the Lamb. And in their mouth was found no lie; they are without blemish” (Revelation 14:4–5).

📕 Revelation 3:5 – “The one who overcomes will be clothed like them in white garments, and I will never blot out his name from the book of life, but will acknowledge his name before my Father and his angels.”

• Without blemish, dressed in white. It means no sinful nature. If we still sin and repent, then we are not overcomer yet.

✨ Almighty God says: "Those whom God refers to as ‘overcomers’ are those who are still able to stand witness and maintain their confidence and devotion to God when under the influence of Satan and while being laid siege to by Satan, that is, when they find themselves amidst the forces of darkness. If you are still able to keep a pure heart before God and maintain your genuine love for God no matter what, then you are standing witness in front of God, and this is what God refers to as being an 'overcomer'."

Under the guidance of Almighty God’s words, even though the chosen people of God face persecution from the CCP government, they remain loyal to God unto death, without denying God, bearing strong and resounding testimonies. All of these are evidence of overcoming Satan. However, the group of overcomers made by God not only stand witness for God in front of the great red dragon, but more importantly, they overcome Satan’s influence, cast off their satanic corrupt disposition, gain truth as their life, and speak and act according to the truth principles. Their outlook on life and life values ​​has changed, and they live out the likeness of a real human being. They are the true overcomers, the ones saved by God. The experiential testimonies of these overcomers have been published online, including testimonies of being an honest person, casting off arrogance and conceit, and resolving their desire for status, resolving jealousy, understanding the righteous disposition of God, resolving their intent of receiving blessing and being faithful and obedient in performing their duties, undergoing pruning, trials and tribulations, and so on. There are over a thousand videos of experiential testimonies. Some are publicly available online and some kept within the church, without being made public online. In terms of quantity, they surpass any church in the religious world. And in terms of the content of the testimonies, they are unmatched by any religion or denomination. These real experiential testimonies cannot be produced by any religion. In religions, most of the testimonies are those of people enjoying God’s grace and receiving blessings. Only the group of people led by Almighty God, Christ of the last days, are brought before God, experiencing judgment before the great white throne, and their corrupt disposition is gradually purified.

Almighty God’s judgment work in the last days has made a group of overcomers. They testify with their own experiences that the judgment before the great white throne in the last days has already begun!

Let’s watch a testimonial video. This will give everyone a clearer understanding of how God’s chosen people are cleansed of their sins through His judgment and chastisement. Let’s watch the video together:

• In the last days, in order to become an overcomer we need the word of God to give us discernment and truth. Trials and tribulations could come from places you least expect. Brothers and sisters, what if your pastor don't believe in the Lord's return and prevents you from seeking, what would you do? Actually a lot of brothers and sisters encountered that when they first accepted the Lord's return. Do you want to hear how Almighty God's words help them to overcome this obstacle?

✨ Almighty God says: ‘Do you wish to know the root of why the Pharisees opposed Jesus? Do you wish to know the essence of the Pharisees? They were full of fantasies about the Messiah. What is more, they believed only that the Messiah would come, yet did not pursue the truth of life. And so, even today they still await the Messiah, for they have no knowledge of the way of life, and do not know what the way of truth is. How, say you, could such foolish, stubborn and ignorant people gain God’s blessing? How could they behold the Messiah? They opposed Jesus because they did not know the direction of the Holy Spirit’s work, because they did not know the way of truth spoken by Jesus, and, furthermore, because they did not understand the Messiah. And since they had never seen the Messiah and had never been in the company of the Messiah, they made the mistake of clinging to the mere name of the Messiah while opposing the essence of the Messiah by any means possible. These Pharisees in essence were stubborn, arrogant, and did not obey the truth. The principle of their belief in God was: No matter how profound Your preaching, no matter how high Your authority, You are not Christ unless You are called the Messiah. Is this belief not preposterous and ridiculous?

✨ Almighty God says: ‘Look at the leaders of each denomination—they are all arrogant and self-righteous, and their interpretations of the Bible lack context and are guided by their own imaginings. They all rely on gifts and erudition to do their work. If they could not preach at all, would people follow them? They do, after all, possess some knowledge and can preach on some doctrine, or they know how to win others over and make use of some artifice. They use these to bring people before themselves and deceive them. Nominally, those people believe in God, but in reality, they follow their leaders. When they encounter someone preaching the true way, some of them say, “We have to consult our leader about our faith.” A human is the medium of their faith in God; is that not a problem? What have those leaders become, then? Have they not become Pharisees, false shepherds, antichrists, and stumbling blocks to people’s acceptance of the true way?’

• Some pastor say: He is not Jesus unless He comes on the cloud. This is ridiculous. We discern God by His voice, not because He comes on the cloud. Lord Jesus also didn't come on a cloud 2,000 years ago. Pastor teach doctrines and their own theories and not the truth of God.
• Some pastor say: God can never speak more words outside of the Bible, did Jesus say that?

📖 “I have yet many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now. However, when He, the Spirit of truth, is come, He will guide you into all truth” (John 16:12–13)

• Some pastor say: the Lord Jesus can never come back as a person again, He will not come back secretly and quietly. Did Jesus say that?

📖 “Behold, I come as a thief” (Revelation 16:15).
📖 “Therefore be you also ready: for in such an hour as you think not the Son of man comes” (Matthew 24:44).

• Some pastor say: we don't need to accept God's judgment work, God will take us directly to the kingdom of heaven.

📖 “For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God” (1 Peter 4:17)

• Following pastors is not following God.

Almighty God says: "The source of man's opposition and rebelliousness against God is his corruption by Satan. Because he has been corrupted by Satan, man's conscience has grown numb, he is immoral, his thoughts are degenerate, and he has a backward mental outlook. Before he was corrupted by Satan, man originally followed God and obeyed His words. He was originally of sound sense and conscience, and of normal humanity. After being corrupted by Satan, his original sense, conscience, and humanity grew dull and were impaired by Satan. Thus, he has lost his obedience and love towards God. Man's sense has become aberrant, his disposition has become the same as that of an animal, and his rebelliousness towards God is ever more frequent and grievous. Yet man still neither knows nor recognizes this, and merely blindly opposes and rebels."

Almighty God says: "In the past, when man did not have God's word as his life, it was Satan's nature that controlled him. What things are contained in that nature? Take some examples: Why are you selfish? Why do you defend your status? Why are you controlled by your emotions? Why do you like that which is unrighteous and evil? So what are the causes of those things? Where do they come from? Why do you like and accept them? Now you understand that it is mainly because you have Satan's poisons within you. What are Satan's poisons? They can be fully expressed in words. Suppose you ask some evil-doers, 'Why did you do that?' They will say 'every man for himself and the devil take the hindmost.' These words express the root of the problem: Satan's logic has become man's life. Whatever man does, it is all for himself, and they all think if they do otherwise the devil will take them. And this being so, they must act only for themselves. Everything is done for material gain'— this is man's life, man's philosophy, and also represents man's nature. This saying of Satan's is precisely Satan's poison. It has been instilled into man and become his nature. Satan's nature is revealed and represented by this saying. And this kind of poison has become man's life and the foundation of his existence."

Brothers and sisters, I watched the video and was deeply moved. Almighty God, Christ of the last days, has expressed words that reveal all the truths needed for corrupt mankind to be cleansed and saved. He has judged and exposed the satanic nature and various corrupt dispositions that lead people to sin and resist God. He has also revealed the despicable intentions and notions hidden deep within our hearts. The more we read God’s words and experience His judgment and revelations, the more we see how deeply we have been corrupted by Satan. Through experiencing God’s judgment and chastisement, we realize God’s righteous disposition cannot be offended. God truly examines our hearts. Even if it is not spoken aloud, whatever thoughts we have in our heart, whatever corruptions that may lie deep within our soul, God reveals them all. This makes us feel ashamed and humiliated, and instills a reverence for God in our hearts. Experiencing Almighty God’s judgment and cleansing makes us deeply appreciate how practical God’s work of saving people is. We truly see that Almighty God’s words have made a group of overcomers, fulfilling the prophecy in Revelation:

📕 "These are they which follow the Lamb wherever He goes. These were redeemed from among men, being the first fruits to God and to the Lamb. And in their mouth was found no lie; they are without blemish." (Revelation 14:4–5)

Spread of Almighty God's words in China and Abroad

After reading the words of Almighty God, those who love the truth and long for the appearance of God from all religions and denominations and all walks of life have confirmed that the words of Almighty God carry authority and power, are all expressions of the truth, and are the voice of God. They have accepted the work of Almighty God in the last days and returned before the throne of God. In little over 20 years, several million people across mainland China have turned to Almighty God. In recent years, the gospel of the kingdom of Almighty God has been successively expanded in many countries and regions overseas, and more and more people in the world have accepted the gospel of the Kingdom in the last days. This fulfilles the words of Lord Jesus.

📕 "For as the lightning comes out of the east, and shines even to the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.” (Matthew 24:27)

In just over a decade, the kingdom gospel of the last days has been spread in more than 100 countries and regions, including the United States, Canada, U.K., France, South Korea, Japan, and so on. People of different races, skin colors, languages, and religions from Asia, Europe, America, Africa, and Oceania gathered together to listen to God’s voice and follow God’s footprints, enjoying the incomparable riches from the land of Canaan every day. This has fulfilled the prophecy of the Bible, “My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me” (John 10:27).

📕 "Therefore, in the present case I advise you: Leave these men alone! Let them go! For if their purpose or activity is of human origin, it will fail. But if it is from God, you will not be able to stop these men; you will only find yourselves fighting against God.” (Acts 5:38-39)

✨ Almighty God says: "The work of God surges onward like a mighty wave. No one can detain Him, and no one can halt His march. Only those who listen carefully to His words, and who seek and thirst for Him, can follow His footsteps and receive His promise. Those who do not shall be subjected to overwhelming disaster and well-deserved punishment."

Blocking the Way

The Lord Jesus revealed this long ago:

📕 "This is an evil generation" (Luke 11:29).

📕 "And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil" (John 3:19).

📕 The Bible also says, "the whole world lies in wickedness" (1 John 5:19).

Perhaps brothers and sisters are hearing about China's persecution of religion for the first time, and this aligns with the prophecy in the Bible:

📕 "The great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world" (Revelation 12:9)

📕 "It opened its mouth to utter blasphemies against God, blaspheming his name and his dwelling, that is, those who dwell in heaven." (Revelation 13:6)

✨ Almighty God says: When God works—when God cares for a person and scrutinizes them, and when He finds them worthy and approves of them—Satan trails closely behind, trying to mislead and grievously harm them. Since God wishes to gain this person, Satan does everything in its power to get in the way, using various despicable methods to disturb and damage the work of God, in order to achieve its unspeakable objective. What is this objective? It does not want God to gain anyone; it wants to snatch away those whom God intends to gain, so that it can occupy them, control them, and take charge of them, so that they worship it and join it in doing evil to resist God. Is this not Satan’s sinister motive?

• every single time the Lord comes to do His work the Satan always blaspheme against God. 2,000 years ago, rumor has it that the Lord Jesus never resurrect from the dead, His followers came and stole His body. Rumors has it that the Lord Jesus was the prince of demon, that is why He is able to perform signs and miracles. Was any of those rumors true brother and sisters? No. But when people hear them, do you think that people started to have fear and doubts? Yes. Satan don't need you to believe its rumors, as long as you are scared it has accomplished its goal of stopping you from seeking the true way and gaining God's salvation. Let's say you see some rumors and fake news about Almighty God that Satan puts online. You weren't sure whether they are true or not. So, people decide, just to be safe, let me stop coming to fellowship, stop reading Almighty God's words. Then you have fallen for Satan's trick. You lose out on God's end time salvation.

• Can Chinese government use TikTok and social media to do its work?

• Can Chinese government buy out famous pastors to condemn Almighty God?

• Can Chinese government buy out news station to condemn Almighty God?

• Isn't God Almighty, why doesn't He stop the rumors?

• Isn't the Lord Jesus God, why didn't He stop the rumors?
• There is God's wisdom behind it. Satan's rumors help to expose different kind of believers, those that listen to God's words and those that listen to Satan's words.

📕 “Whoever is of God hears the words of God; the reason you do not hear them is that you are not of God.” (1 John 8:47)

📕 "You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father’s desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies." (John 8:44)

• So what is the consequence of listen to Satan's rumors and lies?

✨ Almighty God says: "My words are the forever unchanging truth. I am the supply of life for man and the only guide for mankind. The worth and meaning of My words are not determined by whether they are recognized or accepted by mankind, but by the substance of the words themselves. Even if not a single person on this earth can receive My words, the value of My words and their help to mankind are inestimable by any man. Therefore, when faced with the many men who rebel against, refute, or are utterly contemptuous of My words, My stance is only this: Let time and facts be My witness and show that My words are the truth, the way, and the life. Let them show that all I have said is right, and is that which man should be furnished with, and, moreover, that which man should accept. I will let all who follow Me know this fact: Those who cannot fully accept My words, those who cannot practice My words, those who cannot find a purpose in My words, and those who cannot receive salvation because of My words, are those who have been condemned by My words and, moreover, have lost My salvation, and My rod shall never stray from them."

This prophecy is being fulfilled, and we have all been deceived by its tricks. If we cannot discern it in time, we may end up resisting the work of Almighty God along with it and become partakers in its evil.

At this point, some might say, "The great red dragon controls China and can only deceive the Chinese people. I am not Chinese and do not live in China, so I will not be deceived by it." Is this statement correct?

The prophecy clearly states that "he is the deceiver of the whole world." Since he deceives the whole world, it definitely does not refer solely to the Chinese people; it will involve people from all countries. As long as you live on this earth, you are at risk of being deceived by it. So, how does it use means to achieve its goal of deceiving the whole world?

It deceives the whole world mainly by using the media and the internet, fabricating various lies and rumors, framing and slandering Almighty God, and using the media to resist and condemn God. Additionally, it spends money to buy various media outlets to report and propagate their lies and rumors of resisting God. He even spends money to buy renowned religious experts to defame and condemn the work of God, in order to gain people's trust. Some who resist God and blaspheme against Him may not speak out publicly, but they are the ones manipulating things behind the scenes. If you lack discernment, you are at risk of being deceived. If we believe their blasphemous words against God, it is equivalent to being deceived by Satan.

If you forsake the Lord because of the negative propaganda, even though you have welcomed the Lord’s return, it’s a betrayal. You have betrayed the Lord and God, what are the consequences? It’s impossible that you can come back in the future. ... If you believe in the true God, don’t worry about what the rumours say, because this world and this era are evil. God incarnates, God appears and works, and there will naturally be antichrist forces and satanic forces interfering. Satan uses all kinds of things to condemn, and all kinds of words to convict. If one of these condemnations moves your heart, you feel that something is wrong, then obviously you have already betrayed God, and the consequences will be unimaginable.

Almighty God says: "Since we are searching for the footprints of God, it behooves us to search for God’s will, for the words of God, for His utterances—because wherever there are new words spoken by God, the voice of God is there, and wherever there are the footsteps of God, God’s deeds are there. Wherever there is the expression of God, there God appears, and wherever God appears, there the truth, the way, and the life exist."
