Did you both listen to the âEastern Lightningâ preaching? (Yes.) Liu Yun, was your cousin the one who came to deceive you? Why didnât you report it earlier? This time, if Sister Gu didnât report it in time, youâdâve probably been devoured by the âEastern Lightning.â I really thank the Lord for His mercy. May the Lord forgive you. How is Sister Liu? Oh, everyone is here. Hi, sister. Please have a seat. Thank the Lord! Sister Liu. If it were not for the Lordâs care and keeping, you two would have been devoured. For the sake of defending the Lordâs way, we should stand up to give a testimony. Now the âEastern Lightningâ is very rampant. People in the churches continue to be deceived. This time you should talk about how you were deceived and how the people of the âEastern Lightningâ enticed, threatened, and frightened you. Okay, for the sake of defending the Lordâs way, weâre willing to give a testimony. Thank the Lord! But they didnât entice me or threaten and frighten me. They just expounded the Bible to us. What they said was reasonable indeed. Other than preaching to us, they treated us with good food. Although I didnât believe them, I canât bear a false testimony. The Lord teaches us not to do that. Sister, youâre wrong. That is because their time hasnât come. If you still donât reject your cousin, your legs may be broken. At that time, youâll regret. Your giving the testimony is also for the flock in the church. Yes! Right! For the sake of defending the Lordâs way, Iâll do it. (Hmm.) I wonât believe in theirs. But the Lord taught us, I have nothing to testify. Pastor Qian, we found out that those who came to our church to snatch people are Liu Yunâs cousin, Wu Min, and Sister Chenâs niece, Jiang Ming. Theyâre both hard core âEastern Lightning.â Sister Hao, go to Sister Chenâs quickly. Check how many times Jiang Ming has been there. (All right.) The brothers and sisters are small in stature; we must keep a close eye on them. If we catch those people, we canât let them off lightly. Sister Chen, now the âEastern Lightningâ is very rampant. Our church co-worker Liu Yunâs cousin is a member of the âEastern Lightning.â She nearly drew Liu Yun away. Our Pastor Qian went to sustain her personally. Really? Of course. If your niece comes again, you mustnât be easy on her. I know. Last time she came, I gave her a cold shoulder and she left in dejection. I think she wonât come again. Well done. Thank the Lord! Uncle, is auntie at home? Yes. Xiao Ming is here. Come. Come in and have a seat. Auntie. (Come. Sit there.) Auntie, Iâm here to see you and uncle. Did you come to preach the âEastern Lightningâ again? Your mom has come several times. Itâs no use. Donât think of deceiving me. If you came to do that, I donât welcome you. Get out now! Hey! How can you be like this? She hasnât stopped by in a long time. Canât she drop in? Itâs already dark. Where can she go? Humph! What a shame for you to be a believer in the Lord. Well, youâre Sister Chenâs niece. I heard from your aunt that youâre a gospel preacher and very eloquent. I just do my utmost to preach the gospel and Iâm far from being eloquent. Itâs a good thing to preach the gospel, but you should preach to the unbelievers. They donât believe the Lord exists while weâre believers in the Lord. You âEastern Lightningâ come to our church to snatch people. Arenât you stealing sheep? Sister, weâre not stealing sheep. We believers in the Lord all know that the Lord Jesus will come again. Arenât all the brothers and sisters who believe in the Lord looking forward to this day? When the Lord comes, Heâll do the uniting work, uniting all denominations into one. Now weâre preaching the gospel that the Lord has returned in the end time, so all those waiting for the Lordâs coming back can return before the Lord and accept Godâs new work. How can it be stealing sheep? Youâre young but quite good at deceiving others. Even if you speak well, itâs heresy. What end-time gospel? You just came to steal sheep. Let me tell you: The brothers and sisters here were all brought in by us. What qualifies you to preach to them secretly? Theyâre all ours. Donât you know that? We wonât allow you to snatch from our church. Sister, the believers in God only belong to God. The brothers and sisters are all believers in God. How can they belong to any man? Even if we were their pastors, we canât deprive them of the right to investigate the true way and choose the true way! Today God has done a new work. We all should have a humble and seeking heart and quiet down to investigate. Donât blindly jump to conclusions, much less restrict or control others from listening to the preaching! If we donât give them the right to investigate freely, arenât we standing in a wrong position? Oh! You teaching me? Youâre cultists. You believers in Almighty God are robbers, devils and Satans. If it werenât for your auntâs sake, I would tear up your mouth and break your legs, and make you crawl out of here. You see. Brother Liu loves the Lord very much. A preacher of Almighty God came to his house. Without hesitation, he broke the manâs bike. The next day the man came again and he beat him with a stick. On the third day he came, he drove him out by pouring feces on him. You canât show mercy. Never be soft on these people who preach the heresy and the cult. Sister, you can abuse me, but you canât condemn or blaspheme God! Blasphemy against the Holy Spirit shall not be forgiven, neither in this world nor the world to come. Besides, weâre all believers in God but you treat us like this; does it accord to the Lordâs teachings? To you believers in Almighty God, weâll only curse you. You all go to hell! Who are you? How dare you scold my niece in my home! You, believing in the Lord? Get out! Get out now! (Hmm!) Out! (Hmm!) Hey, auntie⌠In the name of the Lord Jesus, I curse you, Satan the devil. This is my cousinâs. (Hmm.) Who is that? (Itâs me.) Oh! Coming. Cousin. (Youâre here.) Hello, sister. Hello. Come in and have a seat. You Satans and devils again. Today Iâll⌠Hey! Sister. Sister⌠Whatâre you doing? Go away. From now on, donât come to deceive me. Jesus comes to save us. (Go! Go! Go!) Listen to His way. (Go!) Auntie. (Go!) This is the true way. Every co-worker, thank the Lord! (Amen!) Today, Ms. Tang just got back from preaching in Singapore. After she came back, she saw that the believers in churches are frequently deceived by the âEastern Lightning.â So, sheâs very worried about the life of the brothers and sisters in our church. As co-workers, we must guard the flock well for the Lord and mustnât let the people of the âEastern Lightningâ snatch them away. Right. Once we find a deceived one, if he doesnât turn back after our persuasion, weâll expel him! (Right.) The day before yesterday I met Jiang Ming at Sister Chenâs. She was really eloquent and her words sounded plausible. Yesterday I was at Liu Yunâs and Jiang Ming came again with others. I drove them out. It seems that theyâve determined to snatch people in our church. Sister Liu, you should specially be careful of your cousin and stay away from her. Once you touch her âevil chi,â youâll probably be devoured. On this matter, you must be faithful to the Lord. Weâre the workers in the church, and enjoy most grace from the Lord. We must put more effort in preaching against the âEastern Lightning,â and print and distribute more booklets of guarding against the âEastern Lightning.â Weâve given out the booklets many times. And almost in every meeting, we preach against the âEastern Lightning.â The brothers and sisters are frightened. They say, âThe Lord is so powerful; why does He seem weaker than the âEastern Lightningâ?â So many brothers and sisters believing in the Lord have been drawn away by the âEastern Lightning.â Itâs no use frightening the brothers and sisters. Thank the Lord. We just want to make the brothers and sisters really scared. (Yes. Oh.) Otherwise, they wonât reject the âEastern Lightning.â (Yes. Right.) The people of the âEastern Lightningâ are professionally trained, and they specially come to steal our âsheepâ under the banner of believing in God. Theyâre very familiar with the Bible and their preaching is high. They say that the Lord has come back, the age has changed, and Godâs name has changed and is called âAlmighty God.â This is the âEastern Lightning.â (Oh. Yes.) Once a person listens to their preaching, he will be deceived. If you join, you canât leave. Now co-workers across the country are deceived from time to time. They have been preachers for years. (Hmm.) Just because they disobeyed the churchâs arrangements and listened to the messages of the âEastern Lightningâ in secret, they were deceived. Even the co-workers are deceived, so the ordinary brothers and sisters will surely fail to refute them. (Right.) So, anyway, we mustnât allow the brothers and sisters to receive them. (Yes.) Sister Gu, have you thought over how to give testimony? Pastor Qian, tell me what I should do and Iâll listen to you! How about using the stories in the booklet as your own? (OK!) Hmm. Thank the Lord! (Thank the Lord!) This isnât right! My cousin and them didnât treat us like that. If we do this, arenât we acting against the Lordâs teaching? Sister Liu, we say like this to protect the brothers and sisters in the church. Otherwise, what can we do if they draw away all the believers? Donât be so stubborn. Right! The brothers and sisters are very weak now. When itâs time for meeting, we have to call them. Even though they come, they donât pay attention and always doze off. Yeah! Moreover, the offerings we collect are less and less. So, we must keep a close eye on these brothers and sisters. (Right.) If there are fewer people, the money will be less and less and weâll lack funds to develop the church. (Yeah.) Brothers and sisters, all present here today are the âleading sheepâ of the church and are the Lordâs servants. At this most crucial moment, we must guard the church and protect the brothers and sisters. If they are drawn away by the âEastern Lightning,â who will we preach to? Right. From now on, if we find strangers preaching, we must inform the church promptly. If we catch them, we can never let them off! Hello, sister. Cousin, I brought the sister today to let her fellowship with you again. Why have you come again? Forget it. Just go back! (Please listen!) Go away. (CousinâŚ) OK, I stop here. Letâs fellowship about our gospel work according to Godâs words. Recently, the gospel work canât be spread. What do you think about it? Are you passive? A little bit. The religious pastors bind the church too tightly. (Oh.) Recently, my aunt even didnât allow me in her door. Yeah, even denying relatives. My cousin didnât allow me to talk about believing in God. Oh! Encountering such an environment, we canât lose heart. We should seek Godâs will first. Outwardly, the religious leaders frenziedly resist Almighty Godâs work, and it seems that Godâs work is greatly hindered. However, there is Godâs will in it. Before we had the notion that theyâve undergone many sufferings and done much work for the Lord, that they are ones who sincerely serve the Lord, and so we should preach the gospel to them. Now through the revelation, we see clearly that they suffer for their reputation, position, and fleshly enjoyment. When the true God comes to work, to preserve their reputation and position, they bind the brothers and sisters, prevent them from accepting the true way, and even make up lies to frame the Church of Almighty God. Through their doings, we have gained some discernment, seen through their true face of hating the truth and being against the true God, and seen clearly that they arenât devout believers in God at all. (Hmm.) Yes. Theyâre the same as the chief priests who enticed Judas to betray the Lord. (Hmm.) They donât accept the true way but hinder others from following the true God. Theyâre simply living demons that devour menâs souls. Now we have no more fantasy for them. God helped us gain discernment through the experience. Yes. Through their performance, the believers in the religion are also revealed. Those that believe foolishly and adore man are deceived by them and follow them to resist God. Some believers who can accept the truth begin to get tired of the antichristsâ lies, regulations, and doctrines and seek the working of the Holy Spirit. God has His time. This little setback lets us see our fragility and see that our faith is too little and that we still donât know how to truly rely on God. This environment can help us learn to rely on God. As long as we have faith to cooperate with God, weâll see the spreading of the gospel work. This is because the working of the Holy Spirit decides everything, and no hostile force can hinder Godâs work! (Hmm.) Letâs read a passage of Godâs words. The second to last paragraph. Sister Jiang, please read it. (OK.) OK, stop here. Brothers and sisters, from Godâs words, we see Godâs disposition and the authority and power of Godâs word. We believe that the thing God will accomplish cannot be hindered by any force. We all have some experiences and knowledge in this aspect. We know how difficult it is for God to work in China, this atheistic nation. (Hmm.) The government and religious world condemn and blaspheme God, but God never stops His work of saving man, and more and more people accept His work. This is Godâs great power. Letâs think back to our past experiences. Although the gospel work moved on with difficulty in every place, as long as we could care for Godâs will and be willing to suffer and pay the price and cooperate with God practically, God blessed us. Now it is the time that we should have faith to cooperate with God. As long as we truly rely on God, I believe that God will make a way out for us. Hmm. Iâm willing to cooperate. (Hmm.) Iâve believed in God for many years and read many of Godâs words. However, today I couldnât testify Godâs name, and I really failed Godâs commission. God searches manâs heart. As long as we genuinely cooperate with God, God will make a way out for us. (Hmm.) Letâs pray together! (Hmm.) (Okay.) Sister Jiang, would you pray? (Hmm, okay! ) O Almighty God! Although Iâm weak and feeble, I know that Your work is done by You Yourself, and no one can hinder Your work. (Amen!) When Your gospel is spread, we gain glory with You. We are encouraged by Your wonderful deeds. (Amen!) However, often when we canât do our utmost to spread Your work because of our weakness, You endure humiliations with us. (Amen!) O God! We are willing to cooperate with You and endure humiliations and gain glory with You. (Amen!) All the glory be to the true almighty God! Amen! (Amen!) Brothers and sisters, peace to you in the Lord! (Amen!) Letâs open the Bible. Mark 13:21-23. It is written, Amen! Brothers and sisters, the Lord Jesus clearly told us in the Bible that false Christs would appear in the end time. So we must watch and pray and be cautious. From now on, if someone preaches that the Lord Jesus has come back, this is a false Christ. (Yes.) Especially the âEastern Lightning,â this sect is very powerful. They preach everywhere that the Lord Jesus has returned, that it is not the Age of the Grace now, Jesusâ name has passed, and now He is called âAlmighty God.â It is really groundless. These people believe in the Lord but dare deny the name of the Lord Jesus. They are purely âheresy,â âcult,â and exactly the deceivers that appear in the end time. Brothers and sisters, you should never touch the book of the âEastern Lightning,â in which there is a âmagic drug.â If you read it, youâll be deceived. (Yes.) Therefore, the brothers and sisters in our church should hold on to the name of Jesus forever, (Amen.) and exalt the name of Jesus forever. (Amen.) Only if we follow Jesus can we enter the kingdom of heaven. (Amen!) Thank the Lord. Thatâs all for todayâs sermon. (Amen!) Brothers and sisters, letâs bow our heads and pray to the Lord silently. Next, Iâm going to announce the church news. Not long ago, two sisters in our church contacted the âEastern Lightning.â Huh⌠Who? They were nearly deceived. Thank the Lord for keeping them so that they could come back safely. Well, next, Sister Gu and Sister Liu will give testimony for the Lord. Dear brothers and sisters, peace to you in the Lord. (Amen!) Brothers and sisters, this time I came into contact with the âEastern Lightning.â Thanks to the Lord, I returned alive to testify to you. The âEastern Lightningâ is indeed a cult, a heresy. They deviate from the Bible. Due to the Lordâs keeping, I reacted quickly. Otherwise, I would have been deceived by them and betrayed the Lord. You know, they locked me in a dark room. I prayed to the Lord, asking the Lord to keep me. So no matter what they said, I didnât accept. To my surprise, they used two young men to entice me. Oh⌠Theyâre terrible! All of the âEastern Lightningâ are awful! ⌠What Sister Gu says is not true. The believers of the âEastern Lightningâ didnât treat us like that. All this is her concoction. She says so for the churchâs flock. If you donât accept it, theyâll cut off your ears and gouge out your eyes. (Ah.) Later, I found an opportunity to escape. Otherwise, my legs would have been broken. Ah. Just horrible! ⌠I really thank the Lord for His keeping. Brothers and sisters, you should never contact the âEastern Lightning.â The âEastern Lightningâ is indeed a cult, a heresy. We must keep a lookout for it, or else we really canât be saved. Thank the Lord for giving me strength so that I could come back safely. Amen! Glory be to the Lord. (Amen!) Hallelujah! (Hallelujah!) Okay, that is Sister Guâs personal experience. This time she and Sister Liu could escape; itâs totally out of the Lordâs care and keeping. (Amen!) The âEastern Lightningâ is an underground organization. They have knives and guns. (Ah.) Their means are brutal. If you donât accept their way, theyâll cut off your ears, gouge out your eyes, and cut your hamstrings. You must guard against strangers and attend every meeting. Otherwise, the Lord wonât keep you. To prevent the people of the âEastern Lightningâ from snatching believers in our church, the co-workers have worked out seven stipulations. Brothers and sisters, please look at the whiteboard. First, donât receive believers in the Lord from other places, especially people of the âEastern Lightning.â Even if they are relatives, friends, or acquaintances, if they believe in the âEastern Lightning,â donât receive them! Second, donât listen to the preaching of people from other sects, especially that of people from the âEastern Lightning.â Third, donât read their books nor pray together with them. Fourth, whoever finds someone receiving people of the âEastern Lightningâ should report to the church in time or directly call the police. Fifth, if you meet the people of the âEastern Lightningâ on the road, donât talk to them. Curse them. Sixth, those who want to go out for several days should report to the co-workers. Otherwise, we wonât receive them after they come back. Seventh, as to strangers who come to have a meeting, we must check their identity thoroughly. Brothers and sisters, after going back, you must carry out these seven stipulations strictly and never be careless! (Yes.) Thank the Lord! (Amen!) Our Sister Chen did very well. Her niece Jiang Ming has been to her house to preach the âEastern Lightningâ many times, but she was refused and driven out. We see that Sister Chen has a heart of loving the Lord. She can hold fast to the Lordâs way and doesnât betray the Lord. And she makes a clear break with her niece and shares no part in her evil deeds. Sheâs a good child of the Lord. When the Lord Jesus comes again, He will take people like her into the kingdom of heaven. Brothers and sisters, now we must intensify the resistance to the âEastern Lightning,â and curse all those who preach the âEastern Lightning.â (Amen!) Thank the Lord! (Amen!) Brothers and sisters, you must carry out the seven stipulations strictly after going back and never be careless! (Amen!) Moved and led by God, Jiang Ming and the two sisters preached the gospel to the local major co-worker Liu Yun again and again. In the beginning, she refused to accept and shut the door on them time and again. Gradually, facing their perseverance and their tolerance and patience to her, Liu Yun began to examine herself inwardly: Why are they so enthusiastic? Why do they have such love and patience? Whatâs their purpose in doing so? I treated them in such a way; do I have humanity? ⌠Liu Yun was moved by such a great love from God, so she decided to investigate the true way. After listening to the fellowship and testimony of Jiang Ming and the others and carefully reading Godâs word for some time, Liu Yun was finally certain that Almighty God is the appearing of the true God. She readily accepted Almighty Godâs end-time gospel. Enjoying the watering and supply of Almighty Godâs word of life, Liu Yun even more regretted her previous resistance and disobedience. In particular, she thought that now many brothers and sisters, like the previous her, were still deceived and bound by the rumors and lies of religious leaders and thus refused and resisted Godâs work. So, she made a resolution that she would try her best to cooperate with God to bring before God those brothers and sisters who still anxiously waited for the returned Savior in the darkness. And she actively joined in preaching the gospel. Under Godâs leading, very soon Liu Yun summoned over twenty brothers and sisters to listen to Godâs end-time gospel testimony. Brothers and sisters, peace to you in the Lord! (Amen!) Theyâre the preachers I invited. They have served the Lord for years and preach very well. So, today I specially invited them to give us a sermon. (Good!) Brothers and sisters, peace to you in the Lord! (Amen!) Thank the Lord for preparing such a good opportunity for us so that we can gather here to have a fellowship. Letâs cherish this wonderful time. May we receive more blessings from God in the limited time. Brothers and sisters, after we believed in the Lord Jesus, we began to pray in the name of Jesus and heal the sick and drive out demons in the name of Jesus. Due to the name of the Lord Jesus, weâve received peace and blessings and even more received numerous grace. So, the name of the Lord Jesus has been deeply engraved in our heart. And we treasure the name of the Lord Jesus very much, as the people of Israel treasured Jehovahâs name. Godâs name is very important to each of us believers in God. Therefore, today Iâll share with you a topic, Godâs name. May God personally inspire and lead us so that we can understand the truth of this aspect. Before we fellowship about this topic, let me ask you a question: Did God have a name in the beginning? (No. Yes.) Hey! Genesis 2:4 records that âJehovahâ is Godâs name. (Yeah. Yes.) Brothers and sisters, are you sure that Godâs name was âJehovahâ in the beginning? Letâs turn the Bible to Exodus 3:13-15. It records that when God called Moses to lead Israelites out of Egypt, God had a conversation with Moses, Hallelujah! (Hallelujah!) Letâs give the glory to the lamb on the throne. (Amen.) Brothers and sisters, please stand up. Letâs pray to the Lord together. Jesus Christ who loves us forever, we offer to You our thanks and praises. (Amen!) Thank You for guiding us brothers and sisters to worship and pray to You together today. (Amen!) O Lord, may Your Spirit fill this room, so that we can be moved by Your Holy Spirit and receive the life supply in Your word. (Amen!) May You guide our meeting and bless todayâs sermon. (Amen!) O Lord, in todayâs meeting, weâre willing to receive the guidance and blessing of Your word. (Amen!) May You be with us. (Amen!) The thankful prayer is in the name of Jesus Christ. (Amen!) Okay. Brothers and sisters, please sit down. Letâs turn to Acts 4:12. After you get there, weâll read it in the name of the Lord, Amen! Brothers and sisters, as a Christian, how should we hold todayâs salvation? Look back to two thousand years ago. When Jesus Christ worked in Judea, the teachers of the law and Pharisees at that time nailed the incarnated Jesus onto the cross and so Godâs plan of redeeming mankind was accomplished. After Jesus resurrected and ascended to heaven, the Holy Spirit descended and the salvation the Israelites rejected began to be spread to the Gentile nations. Brothers and sisters, John 1:12 says, Amen! From the verses we can know: In the beginning God was called God and He had no name; the name âJehovahâ came into being when Moses led the Israelites out of Egypt. As to âJehovahâ that appeared in Genesis, it was written by Moses in a later time. We all know, Genesis was written after Moses led the Israelites out of Egypt. At that time he had already known that Jehovah was Godâs name. Therefore, when he wrote Genesis, he wrote the name of Jehovah God into it. Hello. What?
Through which were we transformed from Satanâs offspring to Godâs children? Okay, got it! Iâll be right there! Several strangers are preaching in Liu Yunâs preaching house.
Yeah, only through Jesus can we be approved by God. Brother Jing and I will have a look. (Yes.) Tell Pastor Qian later. (Yeah.) Brother Jing! (Only through Jesus can we enter the kingdom of heavenâŚ) However, it doesnât prove that God was called Jehovah in the beginning. We have confirmed it from the Bible just now. Oh, thatâs true. Actually God had a name from that time. Yes, why havenât we found that? Brothers and sisters, God had no name in the beginning. Then why did God name Himself Jehovah when He asked Moses to lead the Israelites out of Egypt? Eh? I donât know. Oh, Iâve never thought about this question. Yeah, Iâve read a lot of the Bible but never thought about it. In fact, there are mysteries in everything God does. The work of creation is just a work of producing the whole mankind. Mankind at that time was holy and wasnât corrupted by Satan; there was no need for God to do the work of salvation. So God didnât name Himself. Afterward, mankind was corrupted by Satan, and so God began the management plan of saving mankind. From then on, God had a name. That is, when God called Moses to lead the Israelites out of Egypt, God told him, and Oh, I see. Hebrews 13:8 says, Amen! Brothers and sisters, we must obey the teachings in the Bible and should never leave the name of Jesus. Now, some people have abandoned the name of Jesus Christ and believed in âAlmighty Godâ the âEastern Lightningâ preaches. They even reject and deny Godâs name. Can such people be saved? I feel sorry for these who rashly reject the Lordâs name. May the Lord have mercy on and forgive them. Brothers and sisters, letâs turn to Malachi 3:10. The Bible says, Amen! As Christians who genuinely believe in the Lord, we should obey the Lord Jesusâ teaching and offer up to God all the tithes we receive. If we do so, we will receive the Lord Jesusâ blessing. Like the âoffering of the poor widowâ mentioned in the Bible, she offered up to God her livelihood. And she was approved by the Lord Jesus. If we offer like that and offer a lot, when the Lord Jesus comes again, He will take us into His kingdom of heaven so that we can receive the blessing of eternal life. Whoever doesnât offer his tithe will be loathed by the Lord, abandoned by the Lord, and even more cursed by God. The brothers and sisters in our church should offer a lot. Then our God will open the windows of heaven and pour us out a blessing. Amen! We should offer one tenth, if we have great faith we can offer two tenths. Those who have even greater faith can offer five tenths. (Yes!) Many brothers and sisters in our church have received the Lordâs blessing because of offering. For example, our Brother Jiang has tasted sweetness from offering. Not long ago, he was in a car accident. Our Lord miraculously kept him, (Amen!) so that he survived. (Amen!) Because the Lord saved him, he offered up 3,000 yuan at one time. Brothers and sisters, does our Brother Jiang have faith? (Yes!) Thank the Lord! Brothers and sisters, the Bible mentions, The words âif I willâ are only mentioned once in the Bible. What does this verse tell us? If we offer with our true heart, our Lord will doubly bless us, so that our cup will run over. (Amen!) Brothers and sisters, Iâll ask you another question. The Old Testament records that God is named Jehovah. Then, is Godâs name still Jehovah in the New Testament? (No.) Whatâs Godâs name? (Jesus.) Do you know why Godâs name changed to âJesusâ? I donât know that. (I donât know.) Brothers and sisters, we all know that God is wise and almighty. When God does each stage of new work, Heâll take a different name, for Godâs work is progressing forward all the time. Ay, why do I feel that what she preaches seems to be the âEastern Lightningâ? Yeah, sort of. In the last co-worker meeting⌠They say that the Lord has come back, the age has changed, and Godâs name has also changed. This is the âEastern Lightning.â The age that God works in is different, so the content of the work is also different. In the Old Testament, God did the work of issuing the law, and He took the name âJehovah.â In the New Testament, God did the redemptive work, and He took the name âJesus.â In the end time, when the Lord Jesus comes again, He will do a new work, so Godâs name will still change. Impossible. How can Jesusâ name change? Yes. Arenât you deceiving us? Right. Youâre deceiving us! Youâre preaching the âEastern Lightning.â Liu Yun, weâve emphasized more than once: Donât receive strangers to preach in the church. Why do you receive people of the âEastern Lightningâ to preach here? Sister Tang, the Lord Jesus taught us to entertain strangers. But we donât receive them, nor do we allow the brothers and sisters to go out to listen to messages. Arenât we going against the Lordâs will? In recent years, we are just afraid to be deceived by the âEastern Lightningâ and only know to evade, but we never dare to hear their messages. Sister, the One we believe in is the Lord Jesus Christ, the only true God. Then, what shall we fear? I remember that the Bible says, What does our fear show? Doesnât it show that we have no faith and love for the Lord? If we have faith in the Lord, why do we still fear and evade? Yeah. Evading is not a solution. You⌠Liu Yun, itâs really out of my expectation. As a âleading sheepâ in the church, you actually contact people of the âEastern Lightningâ without permission. Do you know how serious it is? The âEastern Lightningâ is a heresy. We shouldnât have a part in their evil, much less receive them. Sister Tang, Brother Jing, whether it is evil or not, we canât conclude at will. The Scripture says, However, weâve never heard their fellowship, yet we condemn the âEastern Lightningâ as false all the time. Is this after the Lordâs will? Sister Tang, Brother Jing, today we gather here, and it is arranged by the Lord. Why donât we sit down and have a good fellowship? Then weâll know why weâre right and why theyâre wrong. If we even donât have the courage to debate, doesnât it show that we have no faith in the Lord? The Lord knows if we have faith in Him. Sister Liu, youâve enjoyed so much grace of the Lord. I never expected that you would speak such words today. You are uplifted by the church to watch over the flock, but you lead the brothers and sisters to betray the Lord! What is betraying the Lord? Brother, actually we are following the Lambâs footsteps. The Bible says, Brother, sister, today we can meet here, and there is the Lordâs will in it. Please take a seat. Letâs seek and fellowship together. Youâve served the Lord for many years. All of us should be faithful and wise servants. Brothers and sisters, the Bible says, We all should have a seeking heart and should be wise virgins to welcome the Lordâs coming. Today, letâs listen together to find out if it is Godâs voice. My foundation has been built on the rock of the Lord Jesus. No one can shake me. Now I allow you to speak. After a while, you will have it. Iâll make you speechless. With such little tricks, you even dare come to my place to preach. Brother, sister, as to the issue of Godâs changing His name, there is a very profound mystery in it. If God didnât unlock it to us personally, none of us could understand its meaning. Sister, donât you think it is necessary for us to seek and investigate? Right. Sister Tang, Brother Jing, you are both familiar with the Bible and know a lot. Today is an opportunity. Letâs give the brothers and sisters some freedom. Through our fellowship today, they can discern if it is the true way. Yes. The more we debate the truth, the more clearly weâll understand. Since we all believe in the true way, do we fear debate? Right. Sister Tang, Brother Jing, come over and take a seat. OK. Today Iâll see how you deceive people. Come and sit. Please have a seat! You believers in the âEastern Lightningâ say that the Lord has come and He is called âAlmighty God.â Brothers and sisters, is it right? No. Only the Lord Jesus is our God. Right! We only believe in the Lord Jesus. The Bible clearly records, You donât even understand the Bible, but you come here to preach the gospel. Huh. Sister Tang is familiar with the Bible. Right. See what they will answer. Brothers and sisters, since we mention the Bible, letâs read it. Sister. These words are absolutely true. But I wonder if you remember that the Bible records, Since the Bible records that beside Jehovah there is no Savior, why do we accept Jesus as the Savior? Since the Bible records that the name of Jehovah lasts forever, why do we hold on to Jesusâ name? Right. Why did the name Jehovah change to Jesus? Brother, sister, âthe same yesterday, and to day, and for ever,â which is mentioned in the verse, has its background, and it refers to one age and one stage of work. As long as an age and a stage of work God starts donât end, man has to hold on to Godâs name in that age, and no one can disobey. However, when God starts a new work and a new age, Godâs name will change accordingly. That is to say, Godâs name is not unchanging, but changes as Godâs work develops. In the Age of the Law, Godâs name was âJehovah.â But when Jesus came to work, Godâs name changed to âJesusâ accordingly. This is why we hold on to Jesusâ name today. Therefore, when the end time arrives, God will do a new work, and Godâs name will still change. Godâs name will still change? Iâve studied the Bible for many years, but Iâve never read any prophecy in the Bible that God will change His name in the end time. Isnât your fellowship misleading others? Yes. There is no such record in the Bible at all, nor did Jesus ever say that He would change His name when He came again. Right. There is no prophecy in the Bible. Your fellowship is not right! Yeah. Without the Biblical basis, we wonât believe. Yes. We wonât believe. Almighty God, may You give me the proper words to say. Sister, actually your question is also my previous puzzlement. But through studying the Bible, Iâm clear about the answer. Revelation 3:12 says, Here it is clearly prophesied that God will have a new name in the end time. Can the name still be âJesusâ? If it were still âJesus,â how could it be a new name? Hmm. So there is a prophecy in Revelation that God will have a new name in the end time. Right! Since itâs said to be a new name, it wonât be âJesus.â Right. Right. The Bible has long prophesied that God will have a new name in the end time. Be quiet! Does Revelation prophesy that God will have a new name? Wonât God be called âJesusâ when He comes again? How could it be possible? Sister, Godâs name is not unchanging. As to this question, I canât make it clear by myself. Letâs read a few passages of Almighty Godâs word. All right. Iâll hear what your God says. Almighty Godâs words tell us: Godâs name changes as Godâs work changes. Every time when God does a stage of new work and starts a new age, He will change His name accordingly, for God is so wise and so almighty! Therefore, every time when God starts a stage of work in a new age, Heâll take a name of age significance to represent the work He does and the disposition He expresses in that age. The Bible says that Godâs name is âever unchanging,â and it only means that Godâs name is ever unchanging in that age. But when the age changes, Godâs name will change accordingly. This is the reason why the name Jehovah changed to Jesus which we mentioned just now. You say that Godâs name will change and God will change His name in each age. But the Bible says, How do you explain that? Right. The Bible says so. Brother, it is hard for me to answer your question, but Almighty Godâs word tells us the answer. Letâs read Almighty Godâs word. Iâll give an illustration. A man has done many jobs in his life, and people will call him differently as his job changes. For example, when he teaches in school, others call him teacher; later, he heals the sick, and others call him doctor; then, he goes into business, and others call him manager or boss. But no matter how he changes his job, and no matter how others call him differently, the person who does the work wonât change. Similarly, in Godâs work, no matter how Godâs work changes, and no matter how Godâs name changes, His substance is ever unchanging and He is forever the unique God Godself. If we deny Godâs substance and deny that the work is done by one God because God changes His work and His name, that is our absurdity. Right. These words are very practical. Yes. Through such fellowship, we are much more brightened within. Yeah, it is true! Never thought Iâd meet my match. Their preaching is indeed very high. I canât fall into their hands today. I canât lose face before the brothers and sisters. OK! Maybe Godâs name will change, and Godâs name Jehovah changed to Jesus as the age changed. Yet, our question is: The Bible teaches us to hold on to the name of the Lord Jesus. Now the Age of the Lord Jesus hasnât passed yet, and the Bible canât be wrong! Why do you preach that God is called âAlmighty Godâ? Donât go off topic. Explain this question clearly. Sister, as to your question, Almighty Godâs word tells us the answer. From Almighty Godâs words, we can see: When God personally appears to man through incarnation and starts a new work, the old age ends accordingly, because God is the Beginning and the End, and He opens an age and ends the age. When the old age ends and a new age comes isnât decided by man but decided by God. For example, in the Age of the Law, Jehovahâs work lasted for over two thousand years. When Jesus did a new work and opened the Age of the Grace, the Age of the Law ended accordingly. From then on, only if people prayed in Jesusâ name could they receive Godâs grace and blessing and enjoy the working of the Holy Spirit. And all those who held on to Jehovahâs name fell into darkness and were bound by sin, unable to get released. Now God has already returned in the flesh, and He has done the work of judgment beginning with Godâs family in the end time and expressed His new word and work. All these prove that a new age has come and the Age of the Grace has passed. Otherwise, why do people who hold on to Jesusâ name now have no working of the Holy Spirit? Demons canât be driven out in the name of Jesus, and the sick canât be healed in the name of Jesus. All these prove that the age has changed, Godâs work has turned, and Godâs name has also changed. Even if God takes a new name in each age, whatâs the meaning of each name God takes? We human beings canât fathom these mysteries, but Almighty Godâs word has thoroughly unlocked them. Iâll read it for you. Yes, it sounds like Godâs voice to me. Yeah. Iâve never heard these words before. Yeah. No ordinary man can make it. I must stop them from talking. Otherwise, I will really lose face today. Brothers and sisters, through Almighty Godâs words, we learn that God takes a different name in each age to represent the work He does and the disposition He expresses in that age. At the same time, God does so for man to see more clearly the change of Godâs work and the age. For example, the name âJehovahâ represents Godâs work and Godâs disposition of majesty and wrath in the Age of the Law. As we know, in the Old Testament Age of the Law, in order to lead the newborn mankind to live on earth, God raised up Moses to issue the law for men to keep. Therefore, men all kept the law, sanctified the name of Jehovah, and enjoyed Jehovahâs keeping and blessing. Once they offended the law, they would surely be punished. Thus, people under the law held on to the name of Jehovah until the end of the Age of the Law. In the later phase of the Age of the Law, menâs corruption became deeper and deeper, and thus they had the danger of being put to death by the law. In order to save mankind, God was incarnated personally and did the redemptive work, and He took the name âJesus.â As long as those who kept up with the work of Jesus prayed in the name of Jesus, their sins would be forgiven, and they could enjoy Godâs rich grace. The name âJesusâ means the sin offering redeeming man that is full of lovingkindness and full of mercy. The name âJesusâ is a special name in the Age of the Grace, which represents the work God does and the disposition He expresses in the Age of the Grace. Now is already the end time, and it is also the time to change the age. After Jesus, God opens a new age, âthe Age of the Kingdom,â and carries out the work of judgment beginning with Godâs family. Thus, Godâs name changes again, and He takes the name âAlmighty God.â The meaning of Godâs nameâ Wrong! The name âAlmighty Godâ is not a new one. It is recorded in many places in the Old Testament. Although this name is ever mentioned in the Old Testament, it doesnât represent that age. It is only that those who experienced Godâs work at that time saw Jehovah Godâs deeds, power, and authority and thus called God almighty. However, this name didnât represent that age, because God didnât testify this name in the Old Testament, nor did He lead the Israelites of that time with this name, that is, the Age of the Law. We all know that God personally testifies His special name in each age. For example, in the Age of the Law, God personally testified the name âJehovahâ; in the Age of the Grace, God sent an angel to personally testify the name âJesusâ; in the end time, the name âAlmighty Godâ is also personally testified by God. Then, letâs read. Well! Even if âAlmighty Godâ is Godâs name, Iâll ask you another question: Since you say that each name God takes has its meaning, what does the name of âAlmighty Godâ mean? Sister, as to your question, Almighty God has already told us the answer. In fact, there are many verses prophesying Godâs name. We can look at Revelation 1:8, Then, letâs look at Revelation 19:6, Besides, there are prophecies in Revelation 4:8 and 11:17. From these prophecies, we can fully see that when God comes again to do His work in the end time, He is no longer called âJehovah,â nor âJesus,â much less âMessiah,â but the powerful âAlmighty God.â Itâs really so. Revelation has long told us Godâs new name. (Right. Yeah.) Iâve read these verses many times before. How come I didnât notice that? Yes. Itâs so clear here. (Eh, it is so.) Brothers and sisters, in fact the new name God uses in each age is personally testified by the Holy Spirit. The Age of the Kingdom is no exception. Next, letâs listen to the testimony of the Holy Spirit to the name âAlmighty God.â These words are so powerful! It seems that the mystery has been unlocked. Yeah. Only God can speak such words. Man can never speak them. (Yeah. Hmm.) These words have authority. This is the testimony of the Holy Spirit and is Almighty Godâs personal utterance. Today Almighty God comes to work and unlocks all the mysteries. Why do I feel that these are indeed Godâs words? (Yeah. Yes.) Iâve never heard such words. Enough! Enough! Brothers and sisters, the Lord Jesus is our everlasting Savior. Only by holding on to Jesusâ name can we enter the kingdom of heaven. You have no discernment, so you are easily deceived. Donât listen to their nonsense! Yeah. Sister Tang has believed in God for many years. She is mature in life, and knows much about the Bible. We can believe her. I think what they preach is good. (Yeah.) I believed in the Lord for such a long time, but itâs my first time to hear such high messages. I still think Sister Tang is right. It wonât be wrong to trust Sister Tang! (Right! Precisely.) Sister Tang, Brother Jing, what these sisters preach today is reasonable. Everyone can sense it. Although it doesnât accord with our notions, we are certain that these messages are from the Holy Spirit. Otherwise, no one can tell such deep mysteries just by manâs mind. Do you think so? Therefore, we should investigate carefully with a seeking heart. I believe that the Lord will inspire us and let us understand. Liu Yun, shut up! As a preacher, you not only donât guard the gate of the church well but instead bring heresy preachers into the church to deceive believers. Youâve severely betrayed the Lord! Sister Tang, donât be irritated. Take it easy. Sister, actually you also know the present condition of the church. Brothers and sisters are generally thirsty in spirit and cold in faith. Many of them have been carried away by social trends, and fewer and fewer attend meetings. We know that youâve been anxious for this. As a servant of the Lord, shouldnât we go out to find water for the flock when the church is desolate and waterless? I remember that Amos 4:6-7 says, Jehovah has clearly told us that there is Godâs will in the desolation of the church. God wants us to walk out of the desolate church and go to the church which has rain to be satisfied. So, Sister Tang, we should seek. Yes, Sister Liu is right. (Isnât this true?) Yeah. I want to hear more. Hmm, hear more and seek more. (Listen more.) Liu Yun, I think that youâve been completely deceived by the âEastern Lightning.â If you donât repent right away, youâll regret it. Brothers and sisters, if you donât listen to us, it will be too late when you are deceived. Go home quickly. (OK. Go, goâŚ) Brother, since we want to investigate the true way, we should calm down and seek patiently. I believe that God will lead us. Brothers and sisters, I said this for your good. If you insist on listening, all of you will be expelled by the church. When you are cast away by the Lord and are punished, donât blame me for not telling you. Brothers and sisters, it is not terrible for us to be cast away by men. If we are cast away by God and canât keep up with Godâs footsteps, our outcome will be falling into the lake of fire and sulfur and receiving the everlasting punishment, and we wonât receive Godâs promise and blessing. Yeah. Brothers and sisters, Revelation 21:8 says, In the end time, we should learn to discern. Brothers and sisters, Godâs will is for all men to be saved and no one to perish. Today, weâre confronted with the choice of life and death. Brothers and sisters, we must treat it cautiously and be responsible for our own lives. Yeah! What they said sounds reasonable. Weâd better listen. Good! Watch out for yourselves! Just wait to fall into the lake of fire and sulfur! Wait and see! You inform Qian Liang and Brother Jiang. Iâll seal off the church. (OK!) Go! Brothers and sisters, as to the viewpoint that âonly those who hold on to the name of Jesus can enter the kingdom of heaven,â what do you think of it? At that time Jesusâ disciples left Jehovahâs work and magnified the name of Jesus; did they receive Godâs salvation or lose Godâs salvation? They received Godâs salvation. They were the ones who obeyed Godâs words. (YeahâŚ) Today in the end time God does a new work and takes a new name, so we leave the name of Jesus and accept the name of Almighty God; are we betraying God or keeping up with Godâs work? Keep up with Godâs work. Yeah⌠Your answer is correct. When God starts a new work, man can only be saved by keeping up with the pace of Godâs work. This is true. Brothers and sisters, from Almighty Godâs words, we can see that the name âAlmighty Godâ has to do with the work He will do and the disposition He will express in the end time. In the end time, God does the work of judging and chastising corrupt mankind, dividing men into their kinds, and ending the age. Although we have been redeemed by Jesus and our sins have been forgiven, we canât deny that we havenât broken away from sins completely. We are still very arrogant, selfish, greedy, crafty, and evil in disposition. And we live in the vicious cycle of committing sins in the day and confessing them at night, hoping to be saved by grace. So, in order to save us thoroughly, God expresses the word and does a new work of judging, chastising, conquering, and purifying men in the end time with the disposition of righteousness, majesty, and intolerance of offense, bringing us a brand new ageâthe Age of the Kingdom. (Yes.) In this stage of work God does in the end time, God doesnât perform signs, but He does everything and judges menâs sins and chastises menâs disobedience and unrighteousness with the word, so that men can be thoroughly purified and perfected. From this, we see that God is so almighty and so wise. He is indeed the âAlmightyâ and is God Godself who created all things and rules over everything. So, all men will fall down before Him and worship Him, and God will completely end the work of warring against Satan that has lasted for six thousand years with the name âAlmighty God.â Iâve never heard these mysteries. I think this voice is from the Holy Spirit. Yes... Hmm. The work of judgment and chastisement God does in the end time is the work of dividing men into their kinds. This fulfills the prophecy of 1 Peter 4:17, and also fulfills such prophecies as discerning between âsheep and goats,â between âwheat and tares,â and between âgood servants and evil servants.â These are the works God will do in the end time. Letâs read some other passages of Godâs word, and we will understand. Sister, read it, please. (OK.) Page 1449. The first paragraph. Hmm. These words touch my heart. (YesâŚ) Godâs words clearly tell us that what God does in the end time is mainly the work of dividing men into their kinds, and is also the work of judging and chastising men with the word. God judges menâs sins and chastises menâs disobedience and unrighteousness so as to transform men thoroughly and perfect men. All those who accept and obey Godâs end-time work are ones God will judge and ones God will purify. Only Godâs righteous judgment can save and perfect men and bring men into a newer state. The kindly and merciful Savior Jesus only forgave menâs sins and didnât do the work of purifying and transforming men, much less divide men into their kinds. So, only if men accept Almighty Godâs work of judging and chastising with the word and honor Almighty Godâs name as great can they receive Godâs full salvation. If we hold on to the name of the Lord Jesus and donât accept Almighty Godâs name, we canât gain the truth Almighty God bestows to man and Godâs end-time salvation. Yeah. After hearing their fellowship, I understand something. These words are very clear. I want to make a good investigation; otherwise, it will be too late to repent if I miss the true Godâs work. These words are not simple. We should read them carefully. Yes. After hearing her fellowship, I feel clearer in my heart. Sister, can you give me a book? I also want to investigate the true way. OK. (Me too.) Brothers and sisters, as long as you truly seek, each of you can have one copy. OK. OK. Thank God. Brothers and sisters, today, we can return to the family of Almighty God and it is Godâs grace and mercy. Letâs pray. OK⌠Letâs offer up all our thanks and praises in our heart to God. OK⌠O Almighty God! Your great power and great love bring so many brothers and sisters before You. This is Your wonderful deed. (Amen!) Today, I truly see that Your work is done by You Yourself. I also see that no one can hinder the pace of Your work. (Amen!) O God! When Your gospel is spread, we are happy and joyful within, because You are glorified in us. When we are insulted before others, and when Your work and Your name are condemned, You endure humiliations with us. (Amen!) For You to gain greater glory, we are willing to spare no effort to cooperate with You and bring those brothers and sisters who genuinely thirst for the truth before You. (Amen!) All the glory be to You, the only true almighty God. Amen! (Amen!) Pastor Qian. Brother, youâre here. Hi! Itâs bad. Liu Yun and dozens of believers in their church accepted the âEastern Lightning.â What? (Ah?) Liu Yun is really deceived by the âEastern Lightning.â We must go to Liu Yun immediately. No rush. Go get Li Wei, Sister Gu, and others. Weâll go to Liu Yunâs. Go get some other brothers and sisters to drag back those dragged away house to house. (OK.) Jiang Ming, she ran around doing evil and preaching heresy. This time, we must punish her severely. Liu Yun, she actually betrayed the Lord Jesusâ teaching and dragged the brothers and sisters into the heresy. She wonât have a good end. How is the watering of the new believers going? Quite good. Not bad. The brothers and sisters are also willing to bring their relatives and friends to listen. Hmm. Any problem? Yes. Oh, let me open the door first. Whoâs it? Hey, Brother Li. Out of the way. (AhâŚ) What are you doing? You traitor, weâll settle account with you later. Itâs her! Youâre Jiang Ming? Yes. What are you doing? You? Wanna steal my âsheepâ? Dream on! How dare you steal our âsheepâ! Youâre too shameless! Today, you have to give account and get back the brothers and sisters one by one. Let go! This time, weâve caught you. Today, we will send you to the Public Security Bureau. Rot in Hell! Qian Liang, do you have any Christian likeness? Christian likeness? Cut the crap! Hey, Cousin, take them away. Let me go! Go ⌠no ⌠sheâs⌠Theyâve gone. But they go to the brothers and sisters house by house. What should we do? Donât worry. We must trust in God. Letâs go to fellowship with the brothers and sisters one by one. God is almighty! We must believe that nothing is difficult if we rely on God. (Hmm.) (OK.) I heard that you accepted the âEastern Lightning.â Why are you so disobedient? Weâve said many times that they believe in a cult. Once you listen, youâll be deceived. How come you are disobedient? I think their teaching is very good. (Yeah!) Whatâs good? It is because your life is too little. You know nothing. Our Pastor Qian didnât accept it. Heâs believed in the Lord for decades. Doesnât he have discernment? I advise you never to believe. If you believe, your family will suffer disasters in the future. Although Qian Liang and Hao Qian disturbed and resisted frenziedly, no one could hinder the working of the Holy Spirit and the spreading of Godâs end-time gospel. Under the leading of the Holy Spirit, Jiang Ming and the brothers and sisters cooperated with one mind. Through their fellowshipping about the truth continually, all the brothers and sisters who had accepted the gospel not only werenât influenced by the religious pastor, but on the contrary they had became more certain about Godâs end-time work. Through these meetings, I feel that now I understand many questions I didnât understand before. Yes. So do I. After I read Almighty Godâs word, I understand the scriptures that I didnât understand before. It is true. Almighty Godâs word has unlocked the mysteries in the Bible. Yes. Only God can unlock His mysteries. If God doesnât come to unlock them, no matter how man studies them, it is in vain. Brothers and sisters, are you influenced by Pastor Qianâs deeds? No. Before, I felt that these pastors love the Lord. Now Iâve seen clearly that they are real evil servants. They themselves donât accept the true way and even donât allow us to accept it. Theyâve gone too far. Yes. They arenât believers in the Lord. We should reject them. Yes! We should reject him. Thank God! God really has all matters and things work for those that love Him. Godâs wisdom is forever based on Satanâs scheme. Through their resistance and manifestation, weâve had discernment. Brothers and sisters, do you have any other problems? Weâll fellowship together. Hmm. OK. Letâs fellowship about Godâs word. OK. Letâs fellowship Godâs word. All the brothers and sisters in our church were dragged away by those from the âEastern Lightning.â No matter how I tried to persuade them, they didnât listen to me. The believers in the church Liu Yun is in charge of also accepted the âEastern Lightning.â They all say that youâre a false shepherd. What should we do about it? Brothers and sisters, letâs sing a song together, OK? OK. Good. Letâs turn to the Hymn 515. (OK.) Amen! Director. (Hmm.) We find that people of the âEastern Lightningâ are dragging believers away from our church and they are rampant recently. (Hmm.) We have tracked them for a long time. (Hmm.) We do so to protect our âsheep.â (Ha ha. Hmm.) Director. Thereâs one called Jiang Ming. She is an âactivist.â (Hmm.) We know her routine. Yeah. Director. How should we deal with this issue? Now the government is cracking down on âthe Church of Almighty God.â Youâre cooperating with the governmentâs work in doing so. Weâll support you. Oh, Iâll tell this issue to the police station. OK. Ah, Sister Gu. What a coincidence. Ah! What are you doing? Iâll bring you to see the brothers and sisters in the church. I have something else to do today. Maybe some other time, OK? You want to escape? You canât run! Come here, Brother Jiang. What do you want to do, Sister Gu? You are Jiang Ming? How dare you preach! (Just beat her! Beat her!) Itâs my right to preach the gospel. (How dare you preach! Humph!) Shut up! How dare you preach! (Why are you beating me?)
Beat her hard! How dare you preach! Does your doing conform to the Lordâs teaching? Shut ⌠shut your mouth! (Beat her hard!) Conform to what? I just beat you! Beat you! Iâll beat you to death! Iâll beat you to death! (Beat her hard!) How dare you preach! How dare you preach! I just beat you today. Eh? You dare come to preach again? Eh? You dare come to preach again? Hey! Come and look, everybody. This woman is a shameless bitch. She has cheek enough! What she preaches is a cult. Sheâs a cheat. Why do you call me a cheat? Youâre a cheat. Iâm merely a gospel preacher. Thatâs enough. She is bleeding. Hey, you donât know? What she preaches is a cult. Sheâs a cheat. Hello, police station? Yes, Iâve caught the woman who preaches Almighty God. At the bus stop. Right. Well. Come! Yes. Keep your fucking nose out of this. If you poke your nose in, Iâll beat you too. Move away! Today Iâll bring you to a good place. Go! Let go of me. What are you doing?
Iâll beat you to death! Go! (Go!) Let go. Why are you beating me? (Go!) Where are you taking me? (Iâll send you to the prison.) (Go!) Rot in prison. (GoâŚ) What are you doing? She is the one who preaches the cult. (Why arrest me?) (Hold still!) Let go of me! Why do you arrest me? Go! Go! ⌠(Let go! âŚ) Hey, wait a minute. How dare you come to drag my people! (SisterâŚ) How dare you come to drag my people! (How can you beat me at will?) How dare you come to drag my people! (How can you beat me willfully?) Iâll beat you to death. Do you have any Christian likeness? (Iâll beat you to death!) Iâll beat you to death, shameless bitch. (SisterâŚ) Iâll beat you to death, shameless bitch.
How can you beat me willfully? How dare you come to drag my people! How dare you come to drag my people! Iâll beat you to death. Iâll beat you to death, shameless bitch. Iâll beat you to death. Iâll beat you to death.
Sister... How can you beat me willfully? So what? (Do you have any Christian likeness?) Iâll beat you to death, shameless bitch. Iâll beat you to death. Itâs coming. Itâs coming. The vanâs coming. Come and look, everybody. Itâs this woman. Isnât she Sister Chenâs niece? (Yes.) (Yes. Itâs her.) Her aunt has drawn a line with her. Beat her! (Get her!) Beat her to death! (Beat her! Get her!) Beat her hard. Harder. Beat her to death! Beat her! Go on. Harder! Beat her to death! Harder! Beat her to death! Get up! You, Satan the devil, dare deceive people. (Never let her off.) Right. Post her pictures on the Internet. Let all people see this fucking woman who believes in the âEastern Lightning.â Get away! Ah, well, well. Go back, all of you! If something happens to her, we canât give an account. No. She believes in the cult. You must punish her severely! We wonât go anywhere. Yeah! We wonât go. Never let this woman off. We wonât go. Right! We'll see how you deal with her. We wanna see the result. We wanna see what the result is. ⌠Right! Right! We have to see what the result is. We wonât go. Never let this woman off. Right! Right! We have to see what the result is. Never let this woman off. (Right!ďź We have to see what the result is. (Yeah, we wonât go!) Brother, what happened to Sister Gu? She became insane. She cries one moment and laughs another. The doctor said itâs mental syndrome. What should I do? Brother, the Lord Jesus wants to build up your faith through this matter. But I donât have any faith. Hmm, the Scripture says, Letâs pray for Sister Gu. (OK.) Come. Kneel down. Jesus Christ the Author and Finisher of our faith. We thank and praise You. (Amen.) We thank You for guiding us to this house. (Amen.) O Lord, O Lord Jesus, for the sake of Your name, bind the deeds of Satan the devil in Sister Gu. (Amen.) May the Lord fill this room with Your Holy Spirit. May the Lord send twelve legions of angels to encamp in this room. (Amen!) O Lord Jesus, in Your name, go away, Satan. (Amen.) May You keep and lead us to overcome these deeds of Satan. (Amen.) O Lord, bind the disturbance and deception of these midair evil spirits. This thankful prayer is in the name of Jesus Christ. (AhâŚ) Amen. (Amen.) Itâs OK. Itâs OK. Donât be afraid. Brother, how long has she been like this? Sheâs been like this since you came back from the police station. She cries one moment and laughs another. And she runs here and there. No one can stop her. Really troublesome. I told her many times not to meddle in othersâ business. But she didnât listen. This is retribution! Retribution. (Sister Gu.) Retribution. Sister Gu. (HeyâŚ) Go home. Stop. Stop. Come back. Go home. Stop running. Letâs go home. Donât make a fool of yourself outside. Go home. Go home. Right now. Go home. (Whatâs going on?) Donât make a fool of yourself here ⌠here. Go home! Go home. Donât⌠Donât make a fool of yourself. This is retribution. (Letâs go home.) She received retribution. (Donât make a fool of yourself.) Donât make a fool of yourself. Letâs go. Go home. Donât make a fool of yourself. Letâs go home. Donât make a fool of yourself. Letâs go home. Go home. Look, you fell down. Letâs go home. Donât⌠I saw that Sister Gu is indeed cursed by God. She dared to give false testimony to frame up the brothers and sisters of the Church of Almighty God. And she put Sister Jiang in prison. This is truly retribution. (Yeah!) He who resists God will surely be punished by God. Yeah! At that time, when my cousin preached the gospel to Sister Gu and me, the brothers and sisters were very kind to us. No matter what notions we had, the brothers and sisters fellowshipped with us by love. However, Sister Gu openly gave false testimony and fabricated rumors. This is directly offending Godâs disposition. (Yeah.) (Yes.) Brothers and sisters, Almighty Godâs word also says about this clearly. Letâs read a passage of Almighty Godâs word. (OK.) Open the book, please. Page 1480. Sister, read the last paragraph, please. OK. Brothers and sisters, from Godâs words we can see that Godâs disposition is righteous and doesnât tolerate any offense. So, we should be godly and humble before God, and shouldnât judge God or Godâs work at will. Those who blaspheme God and resist the end-time Christ will be cursed in this world and the world to come. (Yeah.) So, when we donât understand, we should seek and wait patiently, and we shouldnât judge God or Godâs work at will. Otherwise, the consequence will be unimaginable. (Yes.) In over one yearâs prison life of complete darkness, when Jiang Ming thought of the persecution she suffered from the religious world, she couldnât calm down. She had never expected that those religious leaders would collude with the CCP government to resist Godâs work and arrest and afflict Godâs chosen people. She saw that though the religious world believes in God, it, together with the CCP, belongs to Satanâs camp. Pastor Qian, another forty to fifty brothers and sisters have been dragged away by the âEastern Lightning.â The brothers and sisters were worried about you all the time. (Yes.) We were all worried about you a lot. (Yes.) Yes, Jiang Ming, we were all worried about you a lot. We prayed for you, and asked God to lead you and keep your faith. Thank God. God is faithful and hears manâs prayer. Although I suffered a little in prison, Godâs love accompanied me all along. When I was weak, I would pray to God, and Godâs word would inspire and guide me and give me faith and strength, helping me overcome Satanâs temptations one after another. (Thank God.) Iâve truly seen Godâs love. Yes. I really thank God. (Thank God.) All the glory be to God. (Yes!) No matter how the religious leaders resist and how the great red dragon persecutes, weâll spread Godâs gospel work. (Right!) Yeah! This persecution and tribulation is a rare life experience. It shows us that God is caring for and keeping us every moment, and He is guiding us to overcome all the sieges and temptations from Satan. (Yes.) I really thank God! Glory be to God! Glory be to God! Amen. Brothers and sisters, letâs do our best to equip ourselves with the truth and spend our whole being to testify Godâs name and repay Godâs love for us. Thank God! (Amen!) (Amen!) After getting out of prison, Jiang Ming again joined the ranks of preachers of the kingdom gospel. Although the CCP and the religious world both condemn and persecute the Church of Almighty God, the spreading of Almighty Godâs kingdom gospel has reached an unprecedented grand state. The churches of Almighty God are established in every province and region in China. Millions of people have come under the name of Almighty God. All those who have accepted Almighty Godâs work are enjoying the shepherding of Godâs word and experiencing Godâs work of salvation. The name of Almighty God has spread throughout the Mainland China.
