Seek the Holy Spirit’s Work Through Religious World’s Desolation

Cheng Huize found a strange phenomenon: The faith and love of the believers in the entire religious community is diminished. They crave the world and their hearts of following the secular world become stronger and stronger. Though they are physically in the church, they have no inclination to seek the truth and life. These signs fulfill the words of the Lord Jesus: “And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold(Matthew 24:12). However, only the situation of a church is totally different. That is The Church of Almighty God. Now the Christians of The Church of Almighty God are full of confidence and various testimonies and videos are published on the internet continuously. She realized that The Church of Almighty God has the Holy Spirit’s work and it could well be the church of the returned Lord Jesus. But the atheist CCP government and some leaders of various denominations furiously condemn and blaspheme Almighty God and His church. Regarding these phenomena, Cheng Huize and several co-workers set off a discussion. Lack of space, this article will be serialized in four parts.

(I)

Cheng Huize: Since our church started to have no working of the Holy Spirit and became desolate gradually, I have deeply felt uneasy. As a worker of our church, I’m responsible for the desolation of our church. I couldn’t turn a blind eye to it. So I visited some Three-Self churches and house churches in order to seek the Holy Spirit’s work. I found many strange phenomena and saw that all churches are desolate like ours. I’ve thought a lot about that. The way I see it: The desolation of the church is because the religious leaders only focus on explaining Bible knowledge and theological theory but do not bring true supply of life to brothers and sisters and do not make them grasp the root of the Lord’s words. So the churches have lost the work of the Holy Spirit and the faith and love of the believers have become gradually diminished. It is totally caused by the religious leaders having taken their own path and having betrayed the Lord’s way and this is the main reason why the churches are desolate. What’s most pathetic is that the churches have been so desolate without any Holy Spirit’s work but those religious leaders actually have no sense of crisis. They not only do not reflect on their deviations and their evil deeds of betraying the Lord’s way and resisting Him, but also do not seek the work of the Holy Spirit. Instead, they fanatically judge and condemn Eastern Lightning. They have made the resistance of Eastern Lightning into the central work of the church and the topic of sermons and fellowship every day. So I feel this is a serious violation of the Bible. In doing this, they are really deviating from the Bible, betraying the Lord’s word, and committing outrages! Because the Bible says nothing that condemns Eastern Lightning. These religious pastors and elders keep saying that we must always act according to the Bible, but why do they themselves betray the Bible, stray from the Lord’s way, take the path of the Pharisees and resist the Lord? It’s really unbelievable!

Zhao Liang: Yes, I also find that. I remember that when the Lord Jesus came to work, those chief priests, scribes and Pharisees also condemned and resisted the Lord Jesus just like today’s religious pastors and elders condemning and blaspheming Eastern Lightning. What happened in the end? That the CCP resists and condemns Eastern Lightning is excusable, because the CCP is ruled by the atheistic devils who are all evil spirits that hate the truth more than any other. The CCP is really the evil regime that acts against God. The religious leaders are all people who explain the Bible and serve God. But why do they not explain the Bible or bear witness for God carefully, but frantically attack and condemn Eastern Lightning, not attending to their own proper duties? Isn’t it a strange phenomenon in the religious world? It seems to be an evil tendency. It is absolutely not a normal phenomenon!

Lin Shuyan: Since you spoke of this question, I have to say something about it. These days, I have also thought about this matter. In China, the evil things keep emerging; in the religious community, all kinds of heresies and fallacies also keep emerging. But the religious pastors and elders pay no attention to that, much less the CCP government which only cares about looting from its people, scrambles for power and position, and has never mobilized the citizenry to condemn and denounce all the corrupt high officials and criminal syndicates. Why is the CCP so “fixated” on Eastern Lightning? In order to attack, suppress and ban Eastern Lightning, the CCP starts a spiritual war. It is also an ideological war, that is, the battle between the CCP and Almighty God. The CCP even threatens that “Troops would not have a day’s rest in eliminating The Church of Almighty God.” It not only employs the nation-wide media to create public opinions, but also deploys a large number of armed police to suppress, arrest and persecute the Eastern Lightning. The religious pastors and elders also work closely with the CCP to frantically condemn, judge, discredit and smear The Church of Almighty God. I have observed this matter carefully. Not a single word said by the CCP and the religious world is true, and their words are all rumors, slanders, and malicious fabrications, because The Church of Almighty God doesn’t break the law or commit any sins. So I think there must be a problem here! If Eastern Lightning really were an organization without any truth, the religious world would not take notice of Eastern Lightning and the CCP would not raise a ballyhoo to start the spiritual war. This matter shocks not only mainland China but also the entire world. The commotion of this matter is too big. It must have a direct bearing on God’s work and appearance!

Cheng Huize: What you say makes sense. The religious community has never shared a bitter hatred of the world’s evil forces and trends, much less has denounced them together. The crimes the CCP has committed are innumerable, they frantically suppress, arrest and persecute Christians, and engaged in sinful acts—labeling the Bible as an evil book, confiscating and burning it, and dumping carloads and shiploads of the Bible the overseas churches carried to mainland China into the ocean. When faced with all of this, the whole religious world just has no response. And there is no religious leader or pastor and elder that openly denounces, reproaches and reveals the satanic regime, much less dissects great red dragon and reveals the evil CCP’s perverse, heretical, God-opposing, and reactionary substance according to the Lord’s word and the prophecies in the Book of Revelation. But why do they start the unprecedented crazy condemnation of, resistance to, judgment of, and blasphemy to Eastern Lightning? What’s going on here? This matter is too abnormal! As a Christian, I have considered it for a long time and made a conclusion: China is a country ruled by the atheistic devils and the country that extremely hates the truth and regards God as the enemy. Unless Eastern Lightning is the appearance and work of God, the religious community and the satanic CCP won’t oppose and condemn Eastern Lightning so strongly. This situation is absolutely the same as that of the Lord Jesus being nailed to the cross when He appeared to work two thousand years ago. This is indeed very thought-provoking!

Wang Xiao: Mm. It might actually be this reason. I also find that the CCP regime’s persecution and condemnation of house churches and religious figures, and especially of Eastern Lightning is indeed extraordinary. In mainland China, the CCP regime’s resisting and condemning Eastern Lightning is widespread and it has become a spiritual war and an evil trend. This is indeed abnormal. This is a strange phenomenon!

Dong Xiulan: Many people also feel it so inconceivable about the religious world resisting Eastern Lightning so furiously, because in the religious world, there are many heresies and various heretical fallacies keeping emerging and no one has ever treated them carefully. But why is the entire religious world faced with the appearance of Eastern Lightning as if they are faced with a formidable enemy? Why does the CCP treat the appearance of Eastern Lightning as the foreign aggression, eagerly mobilizing its nation-wide power in combat readiness, condemning, attacking, judging, smearing Eastern Lightning madly, and even threatening that “Troops would not have a day’s rest in eliminating The Church of Almighty God,” which simply becomes a war? Why does Eastern Lightning have such a great deal of charm? Is Eastern Lightning really so frightful? Eastern Lightning is not an army and has no weapon. Eastern Lightning is just a large home church. Why is the CCP so frightened? This matter is simply unable to be interpreted by man. It can only be said that Eastern Lightning must have the truth or must be God’s appearance and work so that the entire satanic camp condemns and resists Eastern Lightning so madly. It forced me to have to seek and investigate Eastern Lightning. After reading much information on Eastern Lightning website, I finally found out that actually Eastern Lightning isn’t organized by men and the believers don’t get involved in politics in the slightest. They just bear witness to Almighty God’s appearance and work and spread all the words expressed by Almighty God, which make the CCP and the religious world feel so panic and frightened. The Eastern Lightning believers publish all the words expressed by Almighty God on the internet and let various denominations investigate. They just bear witness to God’s appearance and work in this way, but why are the CCP and the religious community so hostile? It is really unbelievable!

(II)

Lin Shuyan: I’ve also read some words of Almighty God on the internet, which indeed shocked me and opened up my eyes. Almighty God’s words indeed have authority and power, and have revealed many mysteries of the Bible which are mysteries of the truth that people can’t understand in the religious world. No wonder the religious pastors oppose and condemn them so madly. It is just because Almighty God’s words indeed all come from the Holy Spirit, and no one can express them. I also find that the majority of Eastern Lightning people are those who once were ardent believers in various denominations. In the meetings, what they read is Almighty God’s word and what they fellowship about is the topic of entry in life. The truth they fellowshiped about in various videos and movies they’ve produced is very thorough and convincing. I dare not say Almighty God is the returned Lord Jesus, but I’m certain that Almighty God’s words all come from the Holy Spirit and The Church of Almighty God really has the Holy Spirit’s work. Otherwise, the believers of The Church of Almighty God couldn’t produce such good movies and videos of hymns. The religious world has existed for two thousand years, and yet it has never produced such good videos and movies. This is a widely acknowledged fact. Eastern Lightning really has the work of the Holy Spirit, has God’s blessings and is much better than the religious world. Everyone who has investigated Eastern Lightning acknowledges this fact.

Co-worker Li: By the look of things, our following the pastors and elders to judge and condemn Eastern Lightning in the past was wrong. Now we should come to Eastern Lightning to seek and inspect the true way. That’s the wise choice! If Eastern Lightning is really God’s appearance and work and we can study and accept, won’t we be brought before God’s throne to feast with the Lord? If we miss the chance of seeking and investigating, we will certainly be forsaken by the Lord and fall into disasters. Isn’t this the truth?

Cheng Huize: In fact, I’ve also studied Eastern Lightning for a period of time. What Eastern Lightning witnesses and spreads is the appearance and work of Almighty God. Studying Eastern Lightning is mainly by reading the word expressed by Almighty God. I’ve read a lot of Almighty God’s words and I felt much brightened within. Every word is very practical, is the truth, and has authority and power, just the same as the Lord Jesus’ word. Everyone has to be convinced and no spiritual giants and luminaries can speak these words. So I realized that our following the pastors and elders to condemn and resist Eastern Lightning in the past was wrong. The CCP regime says that Eastern Lightning is organized by men and does its utmost to attack and condemn this person, but it has never spoken out this person’s sinful facts, much less what things The Church of Almighty God has done excessively. Instead, it just attacks and condemns this person crazily and spares no efforts to discredit and smear The Church of Almighty God. Its real purpose is making use of attacking this person to cover up the truth that Almighty God, Christ of the last days, has appeared and is working, to change the focus and to make people not know the truth. It can be seen that the CCP is too cunning! In the name of attacking this person and speaking Eastern Lightning as an organization of men, the CCP actually wants to ban house churches and ban God’s appearance and work. They know that if they directly attack and condemn Almighty God, it will easily provoke the whole world and all of mankind to seek and investigate Almighty God’s appearance and work. Besides, they dare not deny the fact that Almighty God’s words are all the truth, so when they condemn this person, they barely mention the incarnate Almighty God or all the words He expresses. They are very afraid that the whole mankind will turn to Almighty God after reading His word. This reminds me that when the Lord Jesus came to work, the Jewish chief priests, scribes and Pharisees also said many words of judging and condemning the Lord Jesus. They said that the Lord Jesus was just a man, a Nazarene, and the son of a carpenter to cover up the truth that God had appeared to work, but they couldn’t speak out the fact of the Lord Jesus’ offense and still insisted on nailing Him to the cross. What’s the problem here? This is the evil of mankind, and is even the truth that the religious world resists God and acts against God. The CCP directly attacks and condemns Eastern Lightning, attacks this person, and doesn’t speak out their sinful facts. But why does it still condemn and frame Eastern Lightning and this person? Isn’t it the evil of the CCP? This is enough to show that the CCP is afraid of this person. This person must have rather powerful backing. So the CCP insists on putting him to death, and only by doing this could it achieve its evil intentions of banning house churches and God’s work. Am I right?

Dong Xiulan: You are right! Why does the CCP hate Almighty God and the man used by God so much? It is mainly because Almighty God has expressed many truths, has carried out the work of judgment in the last days, and has gained a group of people and many people have turned to Him. The man used by God just leads those God’s elect to experience God’s work and bear witness to God’s deeds, which has caused a sensation throughout mainland China and influenced the world. So the CCP is extremely afraid of Almighty God and the man used by Him. Apparently, this person attacked by the CCP is absolutely not an ordinary person. If this person is not from God and is not raised up by God, why does the CCP feel so panic and frightened, and even mobilize the nation-wide media and citizenry to oppose and condemn him? And why does the CCP not mention a single word expressed by Almighty God while it condemns and resists Eastern Lightning? Why does the CCP do its utmost to avoid the truth that God incarnate has appeared and is working? Don’t you think this matter is too strange?

Cheng Huize: Actually, this person condemned and attacked by the CCP openly is not Almighty God, but only a man used by God. Whom The Church of Almighty God believes in is not this person but the incarnate Almighty God. This person is only the witness of Almighty God. I’ve also read some of his sermons and fellowship, which have the enlightenment of the Holy Spirit and are edifying to people. Whom he believes in and testifies to is Almighty God. He is only the leader of The Church of Almighty God, is the man used by the Holy Spirit, and moreover, is the witness of Almighty God. Why does the CCP extremely hate and attack him? Why does the CCP not dare to direct the focus point to the incarnate Almighty God? This is the cunningness of Satan! If people don’t study that, how can they see through the truth? How can they find that every word said by the CCP is a lie? The CCP is indeed too evil and maddening!

(III)

Lin Shuyan: I also saw through a fact during the time of investigation. In reality, whom the believers of The Church of Almighty God believe in is Almighty God, the incarnate Christ of the last days, not the person the CCP attacks and condemns. The CCP and the religious world do all that they can to attack and condemn this person, but neither of them can point out what sin this person exactly commits or which law he breaks. Since this person doesn’t commit any sin, why does the CCP still attack and condemn him so furiously? This is the reason why most people feel confused. This is truly the strangest phenomenon we’ve seen. This reminds me that when the Lord Jesus came to work, the Jewish chief priests, scribes and Pharisees just attacked and judged the Lord Jesus and His apostles like this. They said that the Lord Jesus was a person and spared no efforts to attack and condemn Him and even nailed Him to the cross. Everyone in the world knows that. There is a Chinese parlance that says, “A filthy mouth can’t utter decent language.” How could Satan’s mouth utter the words of bearing witness to God? That’s impossible! Now we can see that the CCP regime and the religious community are doing their possible to condemn a person. This person is not pointed out about what crimes he has committed, but he has received their unprecedented attacks and judgments. I can’t figure this matter out. This person is just the leader of The Church of Almighty God not the incarnate Almighty God, but why does he suffer such attacks, judgments, and persecution of the CCP and the religious world? In fact, what the CCP and the religious community fear and hate most are Almighty God and all the truth He expresses. Because whom The Church of Almighty God believes in and prays to is Almighty God, not this person. This person is only the leader of The Church of Almighty God. This is a fact! So, what does this person actually do, which provokes the CCP’s hatred and anger? On their website we can see that this person has preached a lot, supplied a great number of people and let them see God’s appearance and work. I think this must be the main reason why the CCP hates him most.

Dong Xiulan: What you say is all the truth. Many people just listen to the words of the CCP and the religious leaders condemning, attacking, and slandering The Church of Almighty God and then consider these words as the fact. But they don’t personally seek and study Almighty God’s word to understand the truth. Aren’t they blinded and deceived by the CCP and the religious pastors and leaders? Why does the CCP not dare to make Almighty God’s appearance and work and the truth He expresses public? Why does the CCP speak Eastern Lightning as an organization of men? It is because Almighty God’s word is all the truth and is God’s utterance, and if it is made public, the whole mankind will acknowledge it as truth. Then won’t the CCP shoot itself in the foot? The CCP is indeed too cunning, too evil! How could such a devilish organization that openly resists God not be cursed by God?

Cheng Huize: Yes, the person the CCP does everything it can to attack is not Almighty God. He is just the leader of The Church of Almighty God. That the CCP and the religious world direct the focus point to this person is totally for the sake of covering up the truth that Almighty God has appeared and is working. The CCP is extremely afraid that all people will see the truth of Almighty God’s appearance and work and even more afraid that all people will turn to God after they read Almighty God’s word and find it is the truth. That is, the CCP fears people of the whole world will see the appearance and work of Almighty God, find His word is the truth, and all turn to Him, and thus, Almighty God will rule and wield power among people of the whole world. So the CCP attacks, condemns, judges, and smears The Church of Almighty God so madly. That it does its possible to attack this person is just diverting people’s attention to cover up the truth of God’s appearance and work. This is the CCP’s intentions and trickery! Why does the CCP not dare to directly attack the incarnate Christ? Why does the CCP not dare to make the word expressed by Almighty God public and let the whole world comment on whether or not it is the truth, whether or not it is the voice of God? Since the religious community condemns Almighty God, why does it not dare to announce the word expressed by Him to the whole religious world and let all the believers seek, investigate, and discriminate wisely? If they dare do like this, they are truly just and honorable! However, Satan is Satan. Devil is devil. Antichrist is antichrist. None of them dare make the truth expressed by Almighty God public. They only attack a person, but never say even a single word with regard to the words that Almighty God expresses, much less do they dare to make public that whom this person believes in and witnesses to is just Almighty God. Only The Church of Almighty God can truly bear witness to Almighty God and announce the word expressed by Almighty God to the whole religious world and the whole mankind. From this we can easily see that the CCP and the religious world both are truth-hating and their deeds have ulterior motives. They are really having a guilty conscience! As neither of them dare refute the truth expressed by Almighty God or can refute it, they give it the cold shoulder and don’t mention a single word about it. They are very afraid of stirring up a hornet’s nest and then being hard to end, so they do everything they can to direct the focus point to a person, regard this person as a target, and use this person to represent Eastern Lightning to implement their attacks and condemnations. Isn’t this the cunningness of Satan? If we can’t find Satan’s trickery lying herein, aren’t we deceived and blinded by the satanic organization, the antichrist demons? Aren’t we foolish and ignorant?

Lin Shuyan: The reason why the CCP attacks a person as hard as they can is not that simple! Of course, though this person is not Christ, he must be raised up by God. Otherwise, the CCP wouldn’t hate him so much. Its objective in doing this is to let people misunderstand that this person is the representative of Eastern Lightning. Their intention is totally for changing people’s focus and avoiding the sensitive topic that Almighty God has appeared to work and express the truth. Now all believers in the Lord are watching for the return of the Lord. But how should we watch and wait on earth? Recall when the Lord Jesus appeared and worked in Judea, He was condemned, blasphemed, and smeared by Judaism madly. At that time, the battle between Judaism and the Lord Jesus shocked the whole of Judea. People all discussed whether the Lord Jesus was a person or God. This is a historical fact and no one can deny it. No matter in which country the incarnate God appears and works, He will meet with frenzied condemnation, blasphemy, and resistance of the ruling party and the religious world and then will be rejected by the generation. It was like this two thousand years ago, and it is also like this today, two thousand years later. As for how to deal with Eastern Lightning, I think we can’t listen to the pastors’ and elders’ fallacies of condemning Eastern Lightning like before anymore. We should be clever virgins, pay attention to hearing the Lord’s voice, seek and study whether or not Almighty God is the appearance of the Lord Jesus, whether or not all words expressed by Almighty God are the words of the Holy Spirit to the churches, and are the expressions of the Spirit of truth in the last days. This is crucial to seeking and studying the Lord’s appearance!

Cheng Huize: What you’re saying couldn’t be more right! It reminds me of some prophecies of the Bible: “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). “For as the lightning, that lightens out of the one part under heaven, shines to the other part under heaven; so shall also the Son of man be in his day. But first must he suffer many things, and be rejected of this generation(Luke 17:24–25). These words seem to have been fulfilled on Eastern Lightning. Almighty God is just the incarnate Son of man. He has expressed many truths in the last days, is condemned by the CCP and the religious world, and even is rejected by the whole generation. Doesn’t it just fulfill the prophecies of the Bible? Now the key is all words expressed by Almighty God. If they are all truths and are God’s voice, then it is certain that Almighty God is the Lord’s return. Now is the matter that the CCP and the whole religious world attack and condemn Eastern Lightning a signal of the Lord coming? We must fellowship about it. If Eastern Lightning is really the return of the Lord, and we still follow the pastors and elders to steadfastly condemn, resist, and reject Eastern Lightning, will we still gain the Lord’s approval? We will only receive His curse! So as for Eastern Lightning, we must seek and investigate and can’t delay anymore. How could the numb and dull-witted see God’s appearance? Isn’t that right?

(IV)

Dong Xiulan: The CCP does its utmost to speak Eastern Lightning as an organization of men. This is indeed an evil plan. If we hadn’t investigated The Church of Almighty God online or watched various videos and movies of testifying to Almighty God, we would have easily believed the CCP’s words that Eastern Lightning is only an organization of men, and would have easily been deceived by the CCP and the religious world. Through studying online, I read many words of Almighty God, and I also read the brief introduction of The Church of Almighty God, and watched their videos and movies. Only then did I have a true knowledge of The Church of Almighty God. Thanks to my seeking and investigating online, I’m lucky not to be deceived by the CCP! That The Church of Almighty God bears witness that Almighty God is Christ of the last days is depending on the prophecies of the Bible, and is depending on the truth expressed by Almighty God, by which they finally have heard God’s voice, and firmly believed that Almighty God is Christ of the last days. The person attacked and condemned by the CCP is the leader of The Church of Almighty God and is a witness of Almighty God. His sermons and fellowship are also publicly available online, which can be read and heard freely. The truth he fellowships about is all based on Almighty God’s word, and that he talks about is his own experiences and knowledge, which has the enlightenment of the Holy Spirit and is constructive and beneficial for people. The believers of The Church of Almighty God all hear his fellowship and preaching. Their church life is reading Almighty God’s word, fellowshiping about the truth and talking about their own experiences and knowledge, which makes their lives grow very fast and has the work of the Holy Spirit. So they have understood many truths and their faith toward God is becoming stronger and stronger. This is the main reason why The Church of Almighty God has developed to today and no evil power can tear it down or break it through.

Cheng Huize: What you’re saying is very good! I see online that under the watering and supply of Almighty God’s word, there are indeed a group of believers in The Church of Almighty God who have overcome Satan and broken with the CCP evil power thoroughly. Many of them have abandoned their family and detached themselves from the world. They follow Christ and faithfully spend for God, bearing a beautiful and resounding testimony for Him! I feel that the reason why The Church of Almighty God can develop into such a state is because there must be God’s appearance and work within. If it were really an organization of men, who could make a church so prosperous, and even make the CCP so frightened and guilty? This is really the testimony of overcoming Satan! It can be certain that the overcomers of the last days have appeared in The Church of Almighty God, because the testimonies of The Church of Almighty God have completely shamed the satanic CCP regime and the evil antichrist forces in the religious circles. If one doesn’t study The Church of Almighty God carefully, how can he see the facts? Now there are many people who believe the rumors of the CCP and the religious world. Obviously, they are confused and deceived. They can only reap what they have sown and they’ll only fall into calamity to be punished.

Zhao Liang: Through this communication, we can see through the truth that the CCP suppresses and persecutes Eastern Lightning with all its might. Actually, it is mainly because of the truth expressed by the incarnate Almighty God that Eastern Lightning can be prosperous and well-developed. The CCP has mobilized the nation-wide media to create public opinions and has deployed a large number of armed police to suppress and arrest the believers of The Church of Almighty God, but neither of its deeds defeat The Church of Almighty God. This shows that there is no power that can prevent and ban the things coming from God! The testimonies of The Church of Almighty God are the true testimonies of overcoming Satan! These facts prove that Almighty God has defeated Satan and gained glory. This is a fact no one can deny. If The Church of Almighty God were really organized by men, it would have disappeared long ago. Now many people have seen the truth clearly, so the more the CCP suppresses, persecutes, resists and condemns Eastern Lightning, the more they will seek and investigate to see through the fact. Therefore, more and more people are studying Eastern Lightning. Now let’s look at the CCP regime. It is collapsing and crumbling day by day, is extremely precarious and its end is coming. When the CCP collapses, The Church of Almighty God will spread the gospel to unprecedented splendor.

Lin Shuyan: Now I find out that in the religious world of the entire mainland China, in house churches of all denominations of Christianity, those who truly believe in God with good qualities and love the truth have turned to Almighty God. I always feel that these people are those who will be raised up before the catastrophe. We, who have been desperately longing for the Lord Jesus descending upon a white cloud, have yet to see the Lord’s appearance. The prophecy of the four blood moons has been fulfilled. The great disaster is about to fall. If we can’t be raised up before the catastrophe, will we be abandoned by the Lord? Will we fall into disasters? If so, we’ll be in a lot of trouble. Because in accordance with the prophecy in the Book of Revelation, those who can’t be raised up before the catastrophe will certainly fall into calamity to refine. So I always feel that Eastern Lightning seems to be God’s appearance and work in the last days. As the Lord Jesus personally predicted, “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). “For as the lightning, that lightens out of the one part under heaven, shines to the other part under heaven; so shall also the Son of man be in his day. But first must he suffer many things, and be rejected of this generation(Luke 17:24–25). These two prophecies seem to have been fulfilled on Eastern Lightning, so we must seek and investigate. If we don’t seek, we’ll most likely fall into disasters. We’ll really be weeping and gnashing our teeth. Do you say this is true? (Yes.)

Cheng Huize: What you’re saying is right! These prophecies of the Lord Jesus seem to have indeed been fulfilled. Today, the more we have fellowship on this, the brighter I feel in my heart, as if the clouds have been lifted and I see the sun. If we can’t be raised up before the catastrophe, we’ll certainly fall into disasters. There is such a phrase in Revelation: “Because you have kept the word of my patience, I also will keep you from the hour of temptation, which shall come on all the world, to try them that dwell on the earth. Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which you have, that no man take your crown. 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 3:10–12). Judging from this, that the Lord will come like a thief refers to God becoming flesh as the Son of man and performing the work of judgment beginning from the house of God. Accepting God’s work of the last days means attending the wedding feast with the Lamb. Those who are perfected by God into overcomers refer to those who will be perfected before disasters and they will certainly avoid the suffering of disaster when the catastrophe falls. It seems as if the phrase in Revelation has come true. So we should invite people over from Eastern Lightning as soon as possible. Let them communicate to us about how Almighty God performs judgment work in the last days, and about whether or not Almighty God is the returned Lord Jesus. Otherwise, how could such a big commotion happen in mainland China? Only the Lord’s appearance can shake the whole world. This way is too worthy of being investigated. If we still don’t investigate, we really are blind! If the Lord has returned, yet we don’t know and still hold the extravagant hope that we will be raptured into the kingdom of heaven. Aren’t we foolish and ignorant?

After hearing that, these co-workers said in succession that they hoped to invite witnesses from The Church of Almighty God to come. Cheng Huize remembered a sister nearby who attended meetings in the Three-Self church before and was heard to believe in Almighty God later. After the meal, Cheng Huize went to visit the sister in a hurry …
