A Different Kind of Love

By Chengxin, Brazil

A chance opportunity in 2011 allowed me to come to Brazil from China. When I had just arrived, I was overwhelmed with fresh and new experiences and filled with curiosity, and I had a good feeling about the future. But after some time, this fresh and new feeling was quickly replaced by the loneliness and pain of finding myself in a far-off foreign land. Every day I went back home all alone and ate by myself, staring at the walls around me day by day without anyone even to talk to. I felt so lonely, and would often cry in secret. Just when I was feeling at my most distressed and helpless, the Lord Jesus brought me into a gathering by means of a friend.

Christian Devotional Song With Lyrics | "Quieting Myself Before God"

Verse 1

I quiet myself before God,

pray and bare my heart to Him.

I simply and honestly open up,

speak from the heart.

I hand my difficulties and shortcomings over to God

and look to Him.

English Christian Crosstalk "Tracking Service" Tear off the False Mask of China's Religious Freedom

life music | God's Love Awakens My Soul

I

Satan has corrupted my soul.

I am so proud and vain.

Satan has poisoned my thoughts.

I long to love You but fall short,

oh, but fall short.

The judgment of Your words

makes me know myself.

I see my corruption,

that no part of me is good.

No conscience, no sense,

no dignity remain.

Without salvation,

I might live like one who is dead.

You face danger to work among us,

judge, refine and call us,

renew our corrupted souls,

then our lives have value.

I will suffer all there is to suffer,

offer my final devotion.

I will be an honest man,

and I will make no demands.

The Testimony of a Christian | Where Does This Voice Come From?

Shiyin

    I was born in a religious family, and I have many relatives who are preachers. From the time I was young, I followed my parents in believing in the Lord. After I grew up, I addressed to the Lord in prayer: If I could find a husband who believed in the Lord, I would offer myself up together with him in service to the Lord. After I got married, my husband really did believe in the Lord, and in fact became a full time devoted preacher. In order for my husband to feel at ease in his work for the sake of the Lord, and to be able to fulfill his commitment in the presence of the Lord, I actively undertook the burdens of running a household. Although it was a little bit difficult and tiring, my heart was filled with joy and peace no matter how much suffering I endured because I had the Lord as my support.

The Testimony of a Christian | The Persecution and Tribulation Made Me Love God More

Liu Zhen    Shandong Province

    I’m Liu Zhen, aged 78 this year. I’m an ordinary Christian in the Church of Almighty God. Thank Almighty God for choosing me, a rural old woman looked down upon by the worldly people. Since I accepted the end-time work of Almighty God, I prayed and listened to the recital of God’s word every day and had meetings with the brothers and sisters. I felt very happy in my heart and lived in the happiness I had never had. As I was old and my legs were stiff, I couldn’t go out to have meetings. So the brothers and sisters came to my house to have meetings for my sake. Whether it was cold winter or hot summer, they never missed the meeting. Even if it was windy and snowed, they persisted in coming to visit and take care of me, an old woman. I was greatly moved by that. I saw that God’s love for man is so great! In my contact with the brothers and sisters, I saw that they were so different from the worldly people. What they lived out was forbearance and love. They all could open their hearts to each other and treat each other with sincerity, without barrier or distance, and being dear as family members. That made me become more certain about Almighty God’s work. As I understood more and more truths, I knew that man should perform the duty of a created being. So I told the church that I wanted to perform duty. But because I was old and couldn’t perform other duties, the church arranged for me to do hosting at home. I really thanked God for giving me according to what I could do. Before I began to do hosting, the brothers and sisters fellowshipped with me, saying, “There are principles for doing hosting in the church. Extravagance and waste in meals are forbidden. One principle is that everyone can eat his fill. We’ll just take pot luck and must not expend too much.” Since then, the brothers and sisters all had ordinary meals at my house. They ate what I ate at usual times and never asked for special treatment. And they often helped me do chores. Sometimes, I saw that the brothers and sisters worked very hard outside in performing duty, so I specially cooked some nice food for them. Then they fellowshipped with me that I should perform duty according to the principles. This made me truly see that the brothers and sisters in the church were really different from the worldly people. I got along very well with them and felt greatly released both physically and mentally. Also I gradually recovered from the former diseases. So I was more grateful to Almighty God for his grace and keeping for me.

The Testimony of a Christian | The Life Force That Can Never Be Extinguished

Dong Mei, Henan Province

    I am an ordinary person. I lived in a run-of-the-mill life. Like many who yearn for the light, I tried lots of ways to search for the true meaning of human existence, attempting to give my life more significance. In the end, all my efforts were in vain. But after I was fortunate enough to accept Almighty God’s work of the last days, miraculous changes occurred in my life. It brought more color to my life, and I came to understand that only God is the true Provider of people’s spirits and lives, and only God’s words are the true meaning of human life. I was glad that I had finally found the right way of life. However, whilst performing my duty I was once illegally arrested and brutally tortured by the CCP government. From this, my life’s journey gained an experience that I’ll never forget …

Gospel Q&A | Why should mankind believe in God?

✼•┈┈┈┈•✼•┈┈┈┈•✼•┈┈┈┈•✼•┈┈┈┈•✼•┈┈┈┈•✼•┈┈┈┈•✼•┈┈┈•✼

    The Answer from God’s Word: 

    God created all things, and so He makes all creation come under His dominion, and submit to His dominion; He will command all things, so that all things are in His hands. All creation of God, including animals, plants, mankind, the mountains and rivers, and the lakes—all must come under His dominion. All things in the skies and on the ground must come under His dominion. They cannot have any choice, and must all submit to His orchestrations. This was decreed by God, and is the authority of God. God commands everything, and orders and ranks all things, with each classed according to kind, and allotted their own position, according to God’s will. No matter how great it is, no thing can surpass God, and all things serve the mankind created by God, and no thing dares to disobey God or make any demands of God. And so man, as a creature of God, must also perform the duty of man. Regardless of whether he is the lord or ruler of all things, no matter how high man’s status among all things, still he is but a small human being under the dominion of God, and is no more than an insignificant human being, a creature of God, and he will never be above God. As a creature of God, man should seek to perform the duty of a creature of God, and seek to love God without making other choices, for God is worthy of man’s love.

Gospel Movie Clip "Yearning" (1) - So This Is How the Lord Returns

Many believers in the Lord have read the following biblical prophecy: "They shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory" (Matthew 24:30). They believe that when the Lord returns, He will certainly descend on a cloud, but there are other prophecies in the Bible that say: "Behold, I come as a thief" (Revelation 16:15). "And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom comes; go you out to meet him" (Matthew 25:6). It is clear that there are prophecies that the Lord will come in secret in addition to the prophecy that He will openly come down on a cloud. So what is the truth about His return?

Massimo Introvigne: Visual Artworks of The Church of Almighty God Convey a Very Deep Message

Brief introduction: 

In 1991, Almighty God, the returned Lord Jesus in the last days, appeared and began to work, expressing the truth—The Word Appears in the Flesh, and The Church of Almighty God came into being. Since 2014, some Christians from The Church of Almighty God fled overseas to escape from the brutal persecution of the CCP. They finally have the freedom of belief. In order to spread the truth expressed by Almighty God and testify to the kingdom gospel, they started to produce various artworks such as paintings, movies, musicals, hymns, dances, and music videos. In this episode, we have invited Professor Massimo Introvigne, a well-known Italian scholar of new religious movements, founder and managing director of Center for Studies on New Religions (CESNUR). He is going to talk about the visual artworks produced by The Church of Almighty God in recent years, from the paintings such as “God Making Clothes for Adam and Eve” and “Rainbow Covenant” to musicals such as “Xiaozhen’s Story,” as well as other artworks, Chronicles of Religious Persecution in China, and God Will Restore the Former State of Creation—New Heaven and New Earth. Professor Massimo Introvigne said: “The presence of Almighty God on Earth is not only momentous and decisive: it also creates unprecedented beauty.” Please stay tuned!
