Seeing God’s Hand in the Hardships of Selling and Buying a Home

Ma Ling

Part 1

Deep in the night when all was quiet, Ma Ling stood in silence by the window thinking about a conversation she had had with a church leader that day.

The leader, Sister Bai, said: “Sister Ma, one of the people taken in the most recent wave of arrests of brothers and sisters by the CCP government was a sister who used to stay at your home. We’re afraid that the police will track her movements through video surveillance recordings, and in that case you would certainly be implicated. The duty that you’re currently performing would be impacted too. I don’t know if you have any particular plans.”

God’s Love Has Fortified My Heart

By Zhang Can, Liaoning Province

In my family, everyone has always gotten along very well. My husband is a very considerate and caring man, and my son is very sensible and always respectful to his elders. What’s more, we’ve been pretty affluent. In theory, I should have been very happy, but reality didn’t play out that way. No matter how well my husband and son treated me and no matter how well off we were, none of that could make me happy. I was never able to sleep at night because I developed arthritis and also suffered from severe insomnia, which led to reduced blood circulation to my brain and overall weakness in my limbs. The torment of these illnesses combined with the constant pressure of running a business caused me to live in unspeakable suffering. I tried to overcome it in many different ways, but nothing ever seemed to work.

How to Rely on God and Stand Testimony When Tempted by Satan (Part 1)

Embroiled in a Spiritual Battle, I Relied on God and Overcame the Temptations of Satan (Part 1)

Jun 17, 2019

By Hu Yang, France

In late May 2018, I was fortunate enough to hear the last days gospel of Almighty God. By reading Almighty God’s words and listening to fellowships given by the brothers and sisters, I became aware of the factual truth of mankind’s corruption by Satan, God’s six-thousand-year management plan to save mankind and the aim of God’s three stages of work. I also came to understand how one can enter into the heavenly kingdom and the future destination and end for mankind, as well as other truths. After a period of seeking and investigating, I became absolutely certain that Almighty God is the Lord Jesus returned, after which I actively attended our church gatherings. As I read more and more of God’s words, I came to some understanding of the painstaking efforts God goes to to save mankind, and I wanted to spread the gospel to my husband so that he too could soon receive God’s salvation of the last days. Unexpectedly, on the afternoon on which I had arranged with my church sisters to preach the gospel to my husband, something happened which I could never have foreseen …

2019 Christian Gospel Hymn With Lyrics | "Who Is Capable of Knowing God When He Comes?"

                                                         Intro

In God’s eyes, man is the ruler of all things. God has given them lots of authority, allowing them to manage all things on earth, grass on mountains, creatures in woods, fish in the seas.

                                                      Verse 1

Yet instead of all this making man happy, man is beset by lots of anxiety. Their whole life’s filled with anguish, rushing about. Nothing’s new, and fun adds to what is empty.

Best Gospel Song | How Great Is Our God | "How God Rules Over All Things"

From the moment you come crying into this world, 

you begin to perform your duty. 

In the plan and ordination of God, you assume your role, 

and begin the journey of life. 

Whatever your background or the journey ahead of you, 

none can escape the orchestration and arrangement that Heaven has in store, 

and none are in control of their destiny, 

for only He who rules over all things is capable of such work.
