Many believers in the Lord think that as long as they give up everything to follow the Lord, work for the Lord and share the gospel, cling to the name of the Lord in whatever persecution and tribulation, then they can enter the kingdom of heaven when the Lord comes. But some people feel confused: Although we can labor and work for the Lord, we often still commit sins and are unable to practice the words of the Lord. The Lord is holy, if people are unsanctified, they can’t see the Lord. Can people like us who can labor and work for the Lord but still often commit sins be qualified to enter the kingdom of heaven? In the past, I had the same confusion as they do. It’s not until I accept God’s new work and reading God’s word that my confusion gets resolved. I believe it is also the confusion many believers in the Lord have. So I recommend a movie to you, “Awakening From the Dream”. It will reveal the mystery of being rapt ... Read more »

I turned on my computer this morning, then a few messages popped up in the dialogue box. Of the messages, there is one from sister Luca who just accepted God’s end-time work a few days ago. The message says, “Through a period of investigating the work, I also feel Almighty God is the returned Lord Jesus. However, after our pastors know I have accepted Almighty God’s end-time work, they constantly come to harass me and say I have been deceived. They read chapter 24, verse 23-24, in the Gospel of Matthew to me, ‘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’. Based on these two verses of scripture, they say that, in the last day, those who preach the Lord has ... Read more »

When it comes to the Lord’s return, many brothers and sisters think the Lord would descend upon clouds, for the Bible says, “They shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory” (Matthew 24:30), “Behold, He comes with clouds; and every eye shall see Him, and they also which pierced Him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of Him”(Revelation 1:7). Based on these verses of scripture, many people yearn for the Lord descending upon clouds. Now it is already in the last days, disasters around the world frequently occur, and the prophecies concerning the Lord’s return have been pretty much fulfilled, then why do we not meet the Lord’s return yet? This deserves our reflection.
When searching scriptures, we&rs ... Read more »

Today, catastrophes around the world are becoming ever-more severe. The news is filled with stories of plagues, earthquakes, floods, and droughts. Have you ever thought to yourself: The prophecies of the Lord’s return have been fulfilled, so why have we still not welcomed the Lord? If this carries on, when the great tribulation arrives, will we, too, not be plunged into disaster? Just when will the Lord take us up into the heavenly kingdom?

As Christians, prayer is an indispensable part of our everyday lives, and the most direct way to draw close to God. We all hope that our prayers may be heard by the Lord, but we often do not receive God’s response or feel His presence, leaving us at a loss: Why is this? Why isn’t God listening to our prayers? What sorts of prayers are in line with God’s will? Let’s have fellowship on this today and by resolv ... Read more »

Bothers and sisters in the Lord all know that the Lord Jesus once promised two thousand years ago, “In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you to myself; that where I am, there you may be also”(John 14:2-3). I get moved each time I read these verses of scripture, for we are children of the Lord, therefore, we would be raptured into the kingdom of heaven when the Lord returns, by then, we could live with ...

Not more than a few days after I had returned home, a sister came to notify me of a church gathering. When I heard the sister say that the tribulation was over, and that everything had returned back to normal, and that I could go and fulfill my former duty, it took a moment before I realized: “What? The tribulation is over? This was the tribulation? How could the tribulation have ended? This is not what I expected! All along these things we have been experiencing were the tribulation, now I am finished! What did I manifest during the tribulation? Besides being cowardly and afraid, I complained, esc ...

God said: “Based on their different functions and testimonies, the overcomers within the kingdom will serve as priests or followers, and all those who are victorious amid tribulation will become the body of priests within the kingdom. … In the body of priests there will be chief priests and priests, and the remainder will be the sons and people of God. This is all determined by their testimonies to God during tribulation; they are not titles that are given at whim” (“God’s Work and Man’s Practice” in The Word Appears in the Flesh). “The time of the tribulation will not be too protracted—it will not even be a year. If it were to last for a year it would delay the next step of work, and people&r ... Read more »
