Our Life Is Not in Vain (Acappella Version) 

 Our life is not in vain. Our life is not in vain.

I 

Today we meet with God, experience His work. We've known God in flesh, practical and real. We've seen His work, awesome and wondrous. Each day of our life is not in vain. We affirm Christ as the truth and life. Grasping and embracing this mystery. Our feet are on the brightest path to life. No longer searching, all is clear to us. God, we'll love You always without regret. We've found the truth, eternal life we will gain. Our life is not in vain, it's not in vain. Our life is not in vain. Our life is not in vain.

God Is Come to China | Praise Song "The Holy Kingdom Has Appeared" | The Church of Almighty God

Hymn | The Holy Kingdom Has Appeared

 I 

The just Sun shines over all the lands, restores all living things. God's people gather with joy, to praise His great achievements. All lands they dance, sing, cheer. All things with breath come to praise, praise to the victory and the coming of God's day. The entire universe is new and cheering loud for God and for His holy day.

 II 

People made perfect, God's image changed. Divine horn echoes through the skies, resounds in all directions. And God has renewed all things for His use and His joy! God's people, cleansed by His word, gathering before God's throne. No more a filthy place, a holy kingdom appears. God has fully purified us, and His glory blazes. 

III

 God's kingdom now formed, we're made complete. Truth from God's mouth becomes man's very life. From God's chastisement, we see His righteousness. God's people bow before God, praise God righteous and holy; with a true heart they obey and do their duty. Oh God! To You we stand as witnesses, and praise to You will never ever fail. Praise God, righteous and holy! Oh God! To You we stand as witnesses, and praise to You will never ever fail. Oh …

Eastern Lightning | the Church of Almighty God came into being because of the work of the returned Lord Jesus—Almighty God, Christ of the last days in China, and it isn't established by any person. Christ is the truth, the way, and the life. After reading God’s word, you will see that God has appeared.

Worship God in Spirit and in Truth "It's Such a Joy to Be an Honest Person" (Christian Music Video) | Eastern Lightning

Introduction

Understanding the truth frees one’s spirit and makes one happy. (That’s true!)

I am filled with confidence in God’s word and harbor no doubts. (How could we have any doubts?)

I am without negativity, I do not retreat, and never despair. (Look!)

I uphold my duty with all my heart and mind, and I have no concerns for the flesh.

I’m not bad, either!

Restoring the Normal Life of Man and Taking Him to a Wonderful Destination (Part One) | Utterances of Christ of the Last Days | Eastern Lightning

Restoring the Normal Life of Man and Taking Him to a Wonderful Destination (Part One) 

Restoring the Normal Life of Man and Taking Him to a Wonderful Destination (Part One)

Man understands a little of the work of today and the work of the future, but he does not understand the destination into which mankind will enter. As a creature, man should perform the duty of a creature: Man should follow God in whatever He does, and you should proceed in whatever way I tell you to. You have no way of making arrangements for yourself, and you are incapable of controlling yourself; all must be left to the mercy of God, and everything is controlled by His hands. If the work of God provided man with an end, a wonderful destination, ahead of time, and if God used this to entice man and cause man to follow Him—if He did a deal with man—then this would not be conquest, nor would it be to work the life of man.

Gospel Movie "Break Through the Snare" (1) - How to Discern the Essence of the Religious Pharisees

Pastors and elders of the world of religion are all people who serve God in churches. They frequently read the Bible and give sermons to believers, pray for them and show them compassion, but why do we say they are hypocritical Pharisees? Especially with regard to their approach to the return of the Lord, not only do they not seek or examine anything, but on the contrary they wildly defy and condemn the work of Almighty God. Why exactly is this?

Work and Entry

Work and Entry (4)

If man can truly enter in accordance with the Holy Spirit’s work, his life would quickly sprout like a bamboo shoot after a spring rain. Judging from most people’s current statures, no one is attaching any importance to life. Instead, people are placing importance on some inconsequential surface matters. Or they are rushing hither and yon and working aimlessly and randomly without focus, not knowing in which direction to go and much less for whom. They are merely “concealing themselves humbly.” The truth is, few among you know God’s intentions for the last days.

The Truly Obedient Shall Surely Be Gained by God

The Truly Obedient Shall Surely Be Gained by God

The work of the Holy Spirit changes from day to day, rising higher with each step; the revelation of tomorrow becomes even higher than today’s, step by step climbing ever higher. Such is the work by which God perfects man. If man cannot keep pace, then he may be forsaken at any time. If man does not have an obedient heart, then he cannot follow to the end. The old age has passed; now is a new age. And in a new age, new work must be done. Particularly in the final age where man will be perfected, God will perform new work ever more quickly.

Second Coming of the Lord | Christian Song | "The Substance of Christ Is God"

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.

Those Who Love God Will Forever Live Within His Light | Utterances of Christ of the Last Days | Eastern Lightning

Those Who Love God Will Forever Live Within His Light

Those Who Love God Will Forever Live Within His Light

The substance of most people’s belief in God is religious conviction: They are incapable of loving God, and can only follow God like a robot, unable to truly yearn for God or adore Him. They merely follow Him silently. Many people believe in God, but there are very few who love God; they only revere God because they fear catastrophe, or else they admire God because He is high and mighty—but in their reverence and admiration there is no love or true yearning. In their experiences they seek the minutiae of the truth, or else some insignificant mysteries. Most people merely follow, they fish in murky waters only to receive blessings; they do not seek the truth, nor do they truly obey God in order to receive God’s blessings. The life of all people’s belief in God is meaningless, it is without value, and in it are their personal considerations and pursuits; they do not believe in God in order to love God, but for the sake of being blessed.

How to Know Reality | The Word Appears in the Flesh | The Church of Almighty God

How to Know Reality

How to Know Reality

God is the God of reality: All of His work is real, all of the words He speaks are real, and all of the truths He expresses are real. Everything that is not His words is vacuous, non-existent, and unsound. Today, the Holy Spirit is to guide people into the words of God. If people are to pursue entry into reality, then they must seek reality, and know reality, after which they must experience reality, and live out reality.

The Hymn of God's Word
When You Open Your Heart to God

I 

 When you do not understand God and do not know His nature, your hearts can never truly open, open up to God. Once you understand your God, you will understand what's in His heart, and savor what lies in Him with all your faith and heed. When you savor what is in God's heart, bit by bit, day by day, when you savor what is in God's heart, your heart will open up to Him.

Work and Entry (2)

Work and Entry (2)

Your work and entry are quite poor; man does not place importance on work and is even more careless with entry. Man does not regard these as lessons that they ought to enter into; therefore, in their spiritual experience, virtually all man sees is fantastical illusions. Not very much is asked of you in terms of your experience in work, but, as one to be perfected by God, you ought to learn to work for God so that you may soon be after God’s heart. Throughout the ages, those who did work have been called workers or apostles, which refers to a small number of people used by God. However, the work I speak of today does not refer solely to those workers or apostles; it is directed toward all those to be perfected by God. Perhaps there are many who have little interest in this, but, for the sake of entry, it would be best to discuss this truth.

You Ought to Live for the Truth Since You Believe in God | The Word Appears in the Flesh | Eastern Lightning

You Ought to Live for the Truth Since You Believe in God

You Ought to Live for the Truth Since You Believe in God

The common problem that exists in all men is that they understand the truth but cannot put it into practice. One factor is that man is unwilling to pay the price, and the other is that man’s discernment is too inadequate; he is unable to see past many of the difficulties that exist in real life and knows not how to appropriately practice. As man has too little experience, poor caliber, and limited understanding of the truth, he is unable to resolve the difficulties he encounters in life. He can only pay lip service to his faith in God, yet is unable to bring God into his everyday life.

Are You a True Believer of God? | The Word Appears in the Flesh | The Church of Almighty God

True Believer of God

Are You a True Believer of God?

Perhaps your journey of faith in God has been more than one or two years, and perhaps in your life over these years you have endured much hardship; or perhaps you have not been subjected to hardship and instead have received much grace. It may also be that you have experienced neither hardship nor grace, but instead have lived a life most ordinary. Regardless, you are still a follower of God, so let us fellowship about the subject of following Him. However, I must remind all who read these words that the word of God is directed toward all those who acknowledge God and all those who follow God, not toward all people at large, including those that do not acknowledge God. If you believe that God is speaking to the multitude, to all people in the world, then the word of God will have no effect upon you. So, you should keep all the words close to your heart, and do not place yourself outside the scope of them. In any case, let us speak of what is happening in our house.

Following in the Footsteps of God | Almighty God's Words "God’s Work and Man’s Practice" (Part Two)

Following in the Footsteps of God | Almighty God's Words "God’s Work and Man’s Practice" (Part Two)

Introduction

Almighty God says, "In every instance of God’s work are the visions that should be known by man, visions that are followed by God’s fitting requirements of man. Without these visions as the foundation, man would be simply incapable of practice, nor would man be able to follow God unwaveringly. If man does not know God or understand God’s will, then all that man does is in vain, and incapable of being approved by God. No matter how plentiful man’s gifts, still he is inseparable from God’s work and the guidance of God. No matter how good or many are the actions of man, still they cannot replace the work of God. And so, under no circumstance is the practice of man separable from the visions. Those who do not accept the new visions have no new practice. Their practice bears no relation to the truth because they abide by doctrine and keep to the dead law; they have no new visions at all, and as a result, they put nothing in the new age into practice. They have lost the visions, and in doing so they have also lost the work of the Holy Spirit, and have lost the truth."

God's Word "Beholding the Appearance of God in His Judgment and Chastisement" (Stage Version)

Introduction

Almighty God says, "Unbeknownst to us, this insignificant man has led us into step after step of God’s work. We undergo countless trials, are subjected to innumerable chastenings, and tested by death. We learn of God’s righteous and majestic disposition, enjoy, too, His love and compassion, come to appreciate God’s great power and wisdom, witness the loveliness of God, and behold God’s eager desire to save man.…His words cause us to die, and cause us to be reborn; His words bring us comfort, yet also leave us wracked with guilt and a sense of indebtedness; His words bring us joy and peace, but also great pain. Sometimes we are as lambs to the slaughter in His hands; sometimes we are like the apple of His eye, and enjoy His love and affection; sometimes we are like His enemy, turned to ashes by His wrath in His eyes. We are the mankind saved by Him, we are the maggots in His eyes, and we are the lost lambs that He thinks of finding day and night.

Having Struggled in Sin, I Bitterly Regretted Before the Truth

Liu Can

Nanyang City, Henan Province

I was formerly a mid-level leader in the “Stream of Recovery.” I followed the Lord Jesus in 1979 because of having hyperthyreosis. Soon afterward, I recovered from the illness miraculously, and because of this miracle, my husband, my second son, and my neighbors all believed in the Lord. So I ran around everywhere preaching the Lord’s name. The Lord particularly blessed me. All my five sons and five daughters-in-law had much filial piety, and the acquaintances in and around my village all envied me. In the church, the brothers and sisters even more treated me with special esteem. So I couldn’t help feeling self-satisfied, regarding myself as a loyal servant of the Lord and taking on airs of that. I controlled the brothers and sisters in my hand and dreamed that one day I could really ascend to the position of a “big leader.” So when Almighty God’s gospel of the last days spread to my “territory,” I was seized with terror and staged acts of viciously hindering the brothers and sisters from accepting God’s new work by all means.

Meet with the Lord Again | Official Trailer "Rapture in Peril" | Eastern Lightning

Introduction

Zhao Zhigang is an elder at the Local Church in China. Like many Christians, his greatest hope as a believer in the Lord is to be raptured alive, meet the Lord and rule with Him. In 1999, after the church leader released the message, "In the year 2000 the Lord shall come again, and His believers will be raptured alive," he was even more excited and enthusiastic than before. Brimming with faith and confidence, he looked to the future with hope and expectation…. However, after the year 2000 came and went, his hope had been all for naught. An unprecedented crisis of faith emerged in his denomination, and he couldn't help but wonder whether or not he had chosen the right path.
