Her name is Wang Yue. She is a preacher.
In 1989, Wang Yue began to believe in Jesus.
She was fervent within and whenever she had time,
she would preach the gospel.
Soon after, she set up several churches around the village.
However, she never expected that ten years later,
the conditions of the church would worsen day by day.
The co-workers intrigued against each other
and even carved up the church offerings.
The money is the sacrifice the brothers and sisters offered to God.
It is not ordinary money!
Shouldn’t we have fear of the Lord?
Now our church needs money.
We can apply for it if that is the case.
Have we ever prayed for that?
Is it right to fight for the offering box?
In the face of the church desolation,
Wang Yue burned with anxiety yet she was unable to do anything.
She even had no inspiration or light in preaching.
So she visited many churches in the cities and villages,
trying to search for the working of the Holy Spirit.
But what she saw was still desolation.
In this regard, Wang Yue was very perplexed and distressed,
and she often prayed tearfully before the Lord.
In 2003, Wang Yue accepted Almighty God’s end-time work.
Through reading God’s word
and having meetings and fellowships with the brothers and sisters,
she was certain that Almighty God is the returned Jesus.
Later, she read Almighty God’s words,
From Almighty God’s words,
Wang Yue understood God’s eager intention of saving man.
Encouraged by God’s love,
she wanted very much to preach God’s new work
to more brothers and sisters who were eagerly expecting God’s return.
So she joined in preaching the gospel.
With the spreading of the gospel work,
she travelled around many cities and villages.
In 2004, Wang Yue made a special trip to her hometown,
trying to preach God’s end-time work to her relatives.
Hey! You’re … Wu Mei!
Hey, Wu Mei! (Wang Yue!)
Haven’t seen you for years!
Never expected to meet you here! (Yeah!)
How are you?
I’m fine. And you? Are you preaching here?
Yeah, I’m visiting my younger brother. What a coincidence.
Oh, the bus is here. (Ah.)
Wang Yue, today I’ve got something to do.
Stop by my place another day. (OK.)
Here’s my phone number. (All right.)
Remember to call me when you have time. (OK…)
Bye.
See you.
Sister Zhao, Sister Yang,
I’ll preach the gospel to my younger brother tomorrow,
and I’ll stay there for the night.
Hmm. Your brother has been a preacher for over ten years.
So we should rely on God more. (Hmm.)
I see. (Yeah.)
I’m wondering how he is now
and whether he has heard about God’s new work. (Yeah.)
Profiteering from belief is serious in his church!
Elder Fu there is the leader of the denomination,
and he resists God’s end-time work frantically!
We believe that nothing is difficult if we rely on God. (Hmm.)
Let’s pray together
and commit the brothers and sisters in that area to God! (OK. Hmm.)
Hello!
Yeah. Yeah. Right. Right.
Hmm. Ah. I have time.
Hmm.
All right. Hmm.
OK. I’ll go there right away. Ah. OK. Bye.
Pastor Liao, who is it?
Elder Fu asked us to have a meeting in the city.
A brother from America will take photos.
Oh, great!
Thank the Lord!
When shall we go?
Right after the meeting. (Ah. OK!)
Amen!
Brothers and sisters, peace to you in the Lord. (Amen!)
Thank the Lord! Please turn to Matthew 6:19-20.
I’ll read it.
Amen! (Amen!)
Well, thank the Lord.
Brothers and sisters, we’ll expound these two verses.
Now we all know that the end time has come.
The signs of the Lord’s return have appeared,
and the Son of man is right at the door.
In the last days, many brothers and sisters become weak and cold.
To minister to them, the church has spent a lot of money.
And now, the offerings become less and less,
and are simply not enough for ministering to brothers and sisters!
Brothers and sisters, as the Lord’s children,
we shouldn’t enjoy His grace freely,
much less indifferently watch others becoming weak
and falling into the world.
Therefore, I hope everyone can offer more.
Then we can be called the Lord’s good children,
and the Lord will doubly bless us.
There will surely be heavenly blessings in store for us.
So we should watch and pray, read the Bible more, and offer more.
The Lord will surely remember us.
Thank the Lord!
That’s all for today’s sharing.
The meeting is over. Amen! (Amen!)
Amen!
Brothers and sisters, peace to you in the Lord! (Peace!)
Thank the Lord!
Today, the Lord’s great love brings us together again. (Yes.)
Because of the Lord’s many years of grace and keeping,
we shall offer thanks and praises to Him. (Amen!)
Hallelujah! (Hallelujah!)
Brothers and sisters, recently the “Eastern Lightning” is very rampant here.
Many brothers and sisters in our church have been deceived.
Brothers and sisters,
now we must watch, and guard the flock for the Lord! (Yes.)
Now I’ll declare several rules.
First, every church must guard against strangers (Amen.)
and investigate thoroughly (OK.)
the exact details of seekers and joiners. (OK.)
No one is allowed to receive any unidentified person. (OK.)
Second, none of the brothers and sisters in the churches
are allowed to go elsewhere to hear messages. (Right.)
We can only attend meetings in our own church,
for the Lord’s life and the Lord’s way are already in us. (Right.)
We don’t need to hear others’ messages.
Even if their messages are very good and high, they are deceitful!
The other day, I met your elder sister at the station.
Yesterday I heard that your sister believes in the “Eastern Lightning.”
Is it true?
Who knows?
I haven’t seen her yet. (If you want to drop out,)
it will be too late!
They will use all kinds of means to threaten and tempt you.
They’ll even gouge out your eyes and cut off your ears.
So once you find the people of the “Eastern Lightning”
sneaking in the church or attending meetings in the group,
you should report and reject them immediately
and safeguard the Lord’s way. (Amen!)
Brothers and sisters, have you got it? (Yes.)
Good. If you got it, please raise your hand.
Great. Thank the Lord! (Amen!)
Xiao Wang, (Mm.)
you must have heard about your sister, right?
She believes in the “Eastern Lightning.”
Mm, I’ve heard about it.
Brother Wang, you should pray to the Lord immediately
and curse those who preach the “Eastern Lightning.”
You mustn’t be deceived by your sister! (Mm.)
Brother Wang, it’s really unbelievable. We must be watchful!
Right.
Xiao Wang, we should be faithful to the Lord.
Hmm. Elder Fu, please rest assured.
I understand what you are going to say.
Anyone who betrays the Lord is a Judas.
I’ll reject her even though she’s my sister. (Hmm. Right.)
Xiao Wang, if you can think that way, I won’t be worried.
Thank the Lord! (Thank the Lord!)
Xiao Wang, let’s go. Elder Fu, we’ll go first.
We’ll go first.
Sister Wu.
Yes?
Tomorrow, two sisters from Malaysia will meet with you.
Then, they’ll give you some offerings.
No matter how much they give you,
you should say “Thank the Lord” and take it.
Never refuse it. This is the grace of the Lord.
Oh, I see. (Oh.)
I’m coming.
Xiaoyong!
It’s you!
You didn’t go to work?
Hmm. Come in.
Who’s that?
Xiu’e.
Hey, isn’t this elder sister? I almost can’t recognize you.
Xiu’e, is everything OK?
Wang Yong, still here? Hurry up. It’s too late. (Oh.)
Ah, Xiaoyong. Where are you going?
We have something to do. We’re leaving!
I can receive you. That’s good enough. Stay here tonight!
Sister Wu, how many churches do you have? And how many believers?
I have no church.
How could it be possible?
It’s true!
Maybe the pastor made a mistake!
Sister Wu, you disappointed me so much!
How could you answer like that?
You know, your conversation was recorded.
When they go back, they will play it for those churchgoers overseas
to let others know that they shepherd many people.
That way, the rich will give offerings.
You know, the money they give us each time is only a little.
Your answer disappointed them so much.
And your answer will make our church lose the overseas donations.
The development of our church will be seriously affected!
Why should I play a trick to get money?
It doesn’t match the Lord’s teaching!
Look at yourself. No wonder everyone says that you’re out.
You see, none of the other co-workers are as stupid as you.
The Scripture says,
We are workers for the Lord.
The Lord has prepared everything abundantly for us.
We deserve it. We should thank the Lord’s grace.
Why don’t you understand?
Sister Wu, look at your life.
Don’t all the other co-workers have better food,
clothing, shelter, and daily necessities than you?
Why are you so stubborn? Go home and think it over!
Xiu’e, picking vegetables?
O Lord, my loving Lord Jesus!
You’re my Savior. I thank and praise You!
O Lord, please bind these Satans and devils.
May You close my ears and give me a discerning heart,
because in the end time false Christs and false prophets
will rise to deceive Your children.
O Lord, now the “Eastern Lightning” is so rampant
that they have already deceived many of our sheep.
O Lord, we don’t know what we should do.
Now the church is really too desolate.
O Lord, please guide and lead us.
Pray in the name of the Savior Jesus Christ. (Amen!)
Xiaoyong, let’s have a talk.
We have nothing to talk about. I already know what you came for.
You believe in the “cult.”
Our pastor has informed all the churches about you
and asked us to pray and curse you.
They already know that you’ll surely come to deceive me,
so they told me not to receive you.
Huh! If you were not my sister, I would have driven you out.
Xiaoyong, we’ve believed in the Lord for many years
and have been expecting His return.
Since now we hear that the Lord has come back,
we should seek and investigate carefully,
because it has a lot to do with our destiny and outcome.
We can’t treat it carelessly!
Two thousand years ago,
when the Lord Jesus came to do His work, no one could accept such a fact.
For example,
when Philip preached the gospel to Nathanael, he blurted out,
But what happened in the end?
After hearing the words of the Lord Jesus,
he not only could drop the self
but also could admit immediately, saying,
You say the Lord has come back.
What’s your evidence? How do you know?
Xiaoyong, when God does a stage of new work, man can’t accept it easily.
However, this stage of work exactly fulfills the prophecy of the Lord Jesus
that He will bestow upon man all the truths when He comes again in the end time,
and it also fulfills the prophecy in Revelation
that in the end time there will be the everlasting gospel
to be preached to those who dwell on earth.
The Lord also told us,
That is to say, only if we listen to His word
can we figure out whether the Lord has come back.
There are many similar examples throughout the generations
like Peter and the Samaritan woman.
After they heard the words of the Lord Jesus,
they knew that Jesus was the coming Messiah.
Today Almighty God has expressed millions of words of truth.
As long as you investigate carefully,
you will know whether this is God’s voice or not.
Shut up! Don’t deceive me!
Wanna trick me to read your book? I won’t fall into your scheme!
Xiaoyong, our mother died early.
You and I depended on each other from childhood.
How can I cheat my own brother?
The blood of the Lord Jesus has indeed forgiven our sins,
but it doesn’t mean that we won’t commit sins,
because the sinful nature is still in us.
Thus, we live a life of committing sins in the day
and confessing them at night all the time.
The Bible also records,
To become holy, cast off corruption, and commit no more sins,
we must accept God’s end-time work of judgment and chastisement.
Xiaoyong, if we always hold on to our notion
and refuse to accept God’s end-time work,
we’ll lose God’s salvation!
At that time, when the Lord Jesus came to do His work,
the Pharisees kept the law,
willfully condemned and judged the new work Jesus did,
and nailed Him onto the cross alive.
They not only offended God’s disposition but also received God’s punishment!
Xiaoyong, Xiu’e,
how can I stand by and watch you follow in the Pharisees’ footsteps?
You have no qualification to teach me! Get out!
Xiaoyong.
Get out!
Xiaoyong!
Xiaoyong!
Wait until next year to have another child, a healthy baby boy! (All right.)
All right.
Who is it? Who do you want? Auntie, I’m Wang Yue.
Wang Yue? Eh, Wang Yong’s sister.
Oh, Wang Yong’s sister.
What’s up?
Could I stay here tonight?
Stay here? (Mm.)
Mm. OK. Come in!
Thank you, Auntie!
Sister Xue.
Wang Yue?
Wang Yue, we dare not receive you.
If our pastor learns of it, we’ll be expelled. Leave quickly. Go! Go! Sister Xue. Sister Xue…
Where’s your mom?
In the room.
In the room?
What are you doing?
If you want to preach the “Eastern Lightning,” just forget it. (Sister.)
Sister, listen to me! Sister…
I heard that Wang Yue believes in the “Eastern Lightning”!
Yes. Yesterday I went to the church.
The pastor told us not to contact her,
because we will be in great trouble after believing in it.
Is it true? (Yes.)
I heard that if one believes in the “Eastern Lightning,”
his eyes will be gouged out and his ears and nose will be cut off.
Right. Right. Yeah.
How is she now?
I don’t know. I haven’t seen her yet.
Sisters, you are all here.
Wang Yue? The pastor says that you’ve believed in the “Eastern Lightning.”
Don’t try to deceive us. Whatever you say, we won’t believe you.
Yes. Wang Yue, we never expected that
you would believe in the “Eastern Lightning.”
Go. Go. Go. Go. Let’s go quickly.
Sisters…
Haven’t eaten yet?
What’s the matter? Why have you lost your spirit?
Sister, were you driven out?
Come. Have some water.
I never expected that my brother would be so resistant. (Mm.)
I preached God’s end-time work to him,
but he drove me out late at night.
Fortunately, someone took me in.
Don’t be sad.
Come. Have dinner first!
Have dinner, OK? (Mm.)
Today I also went to preach the gospel
to several brothers and sisters I had shepherded before.
Unexpectedly, they didn’t even let me in the door.
Mm. Sister, there is God’s permission in such an environment today.
Let’s fellowship together after you finish eating. (Mm.)
Eat it. (Mm.)
Sister, don’t be too sad.
God has paid such a great price to bring each of us before Him.
With love and patience,
the brothers and sisters preached the gospel to us many times.
If not for God’s great love, we couldn’t know God today.
The brothers and sisters could make such efforts,
because they had understood God’s will.
Let’s read a passage of God’s word.
You read it. Come on, sister.
From God’s words, we can see
that in God’s heart, He has been expecting more brothers and sisters
to come before Him and accept His commission.
Since God’s new work started,
many brothers and sisters have been bound and restrained
by the leaders of the religious world.
They can’t receive the supply of God’s word,
and have been living in the darkness.
How anxious God’s heart is!
The brothers and sisters drive us out,
because they are instigated by others
and know nothing about the true fact.
Then, shouldn’t we even more try our best
to cooperate with God and bring those brothers and sisters
who genuinely believe in God before Him earlier
so as to comfort His heart?
Yes. The brothers and sisters are innocent.
In retrospect, before I accepted this stage of work,
didn’t I reject in every possible way
because of believing the pastor’s words?
If God hadn’t moved me and if the brothers and sisters
hadn’t preached the gospel to me again and again with love and patience
and brought me before God, (Yeah.)
how could I have today?
If these brothers and sisters still believe these pastors’ rumors blindly
and refuse to accept the true way,
their opportunity to be saved will be ruined by these pastors.
These religious people’s behaviors remind me of a word of the Lord Jesus,
Yeah.
Now these leaders of the religious world
for the sake of position and profit, stop at nothing to resist God
and hinder the spreading of God’s end-time gospel.
They are exactly the Pharisees who hinder people from coming before God!
I shouldn’t be passive any longer!
Let’s spare no effort to cooperate with God
and bring those brothers and sisters who genuinely believe in God
before Him earlier so as to comfort His heart. (Mm.)
We should never allow Satan’s schemes to succeed.
Well, on my way here,
I met my good friend Wu Mei who grew up with me at the railway station.
I want to visit her. Perhaps she will listen to me.
I heard that Wu Mei has a good humanity.
You can visit her and preach the gospel to her.
God’s sheep hear God’s voice. Let’s pray for it together. (OK.)
Mm.
Wang Yue and other brothers and sisters visited Wu Mei
and preached God’s end-time gospel to her.
At the beginning, Wu Mei was somewhat resistant and alert.
But during the contact,
she found that those people were nothing like what the rumors described.
They weren’t like gangsters, but were full of love and patience
and had inspiration in their preaching.
And she had great enjoyment when listening to their preaching.
Although she had many religious notions,
the brothers and sisters always sustained her with patience.
Therefore, she decided to investigate.
Through a period of thirsty seeking and pray-reading,
Wu Mei was certain that Almighty God’s word is indeed God’s personal utterance
and is the little scroll which has already been opened.
That was because from Almighty God’s word,
she understood the origin of mankind’s corruption,
knew God’s six-thousand-year management plan
and the inside truth of the three stages of works,
knew the meaning of God’s names,
the mystery of incarnation and mankind’s destination,
and understood the inside truth of the Bible
as well as the pathway and direction for man to become holy and be saved.
Wu Mei deeply felt that she understood a lot from Almighty God’s word.
In those years, she contacted many excellent preachers,
but none of them could explain the mysteries in the Bible so clearly.
Only God Godself can tell these heavenly mysteries to man
and express God’s will so clearly.
At last, Wu Mei was certain that
Almighty God is the returned Jesus and is the appearing of the true God.
Thus, she completely broke away from the bondage of the religious world
and returned before Almighty God.
If not for your fellowship today,
I really don’t know what greater evil I might do.
I really thank God for giving me an opportunity to receive such salvation.
I don’t know how to repay God’s love
and receive God’s forgiveness and tolerance.
I’ve believed in God for so many years,
but I never expected that I knew nothing about God.
With the letters of the Bible in my hands,
I teach others every day, but I myself am doing evil.
The consequence will be really terrible.
I thank God so much for giving me such an opportunity
to repent and confess my sins.
As long as you can come before God, God’s heart will be greatly comforted.
A few days ago, I went to preach the gospel to my brother.
Unexpectedly, he resisted and rejected in every way.
In the end, he drove me out.
I also went to visit your cousin, Sister Qian,
and several other brothers and sisters.
Unexpectedly, they were all deceived by Pastor Liao
and even didn’t let me in the door.
Trust me.
My cousin has a good humanity and believes in God genuinely. (Mm.)
I’ll fellowship with her and read God’s word for her. (Mm.)
She will accept it. (OK.)
Then, we’ll bring the brothers and sisters around her before God.
Under God’s leading, Wu Mei cooperated actively
and brought all the brothers and sisters she shepherded
to listen to the preaching.
Brothers and sisters, peace to you in the Lord. (Peace!)
Today I’ll introduce a preacher to you.
Perhaps you knew her before.
Sister Wang Yue, Brother Wang Yong’s elder sister.
Sister Wang preaches much better than me,
and her preaching is very beneficial to our life.
Today, we’ll welcome Sister Wang to preach.
Brothers and sisters, peace to you in the Lord. (Peace!)
Thank God for preparing such an opportunity for us to fellowship today.
Also, thank you for coming here to listen to the preaching.
It is God’s love that connects us together.
Today we can gather to seek and fellowship about the Lord’s will,
and this is God’s special preparation.
We offer our thanks and praises to God for this. (Thank God!)
Since our Lord Jesus resurrected and ascended,
all those who follow the Lord have been expecting Him to come back early,
so as to receive His promise and enjoy His blessing.
Especially in the end time, we expect the Lord’s return more eagerly.
Why haven’t we seen Wu Mei recently?
Couldn’t reach her phone? Go and visit her.
I suspect that she may have been deceived
by the people of the “Eastern Lightning.”
Impossible! Wu Mei always knows her own mind.
How could she rashly contact the people of the “Eastern Lightning”?
At the beginning, I also thought so.
However, the “Eastern Lightning” is so terrible.
Some believers who pursue relatively hard and the preachers
are all the targets of their deception!
These “Eastern Lightning”…
Ah. It’s indeed impossible for us to guard against them.
It’s really unexpected.
Wu Mei was actually deceived by the “Eastern Lightning.”
Pastor Liao, do you think we should dial 110 to catch Wang Yue?
No. It’s not proper to catch her today.
Anyway, bring Wu Mei back first. (Yeah.)
Sister, will you please fellowship with us about this question?
OK. Today let’s fellowship about it.
You’re a wolf in sheep’s clothing!
How dare you come here to steal sheep!
Out! Get out! Get out now!
Pastor Liao, hey, how could you treat them like this?
Pastor Liao, what’re you doing? We’re all believers in God.
If you have any question, we can fellowship together. (Humph!)
Yeah.
Fellowship what? I tell you: I don’t wanna see you again. Out! (Go!) Get out now!
Don’t expect to deceive any of us today! Get out now! (Out!)
Get away!
Pastor Liao, I’m surprised that you would do this today!
Didn’t you often preach that we should love our enemies?
If what we hold fast to is the true way,
why should we fear a false one?
Isn’t my doing so all for your good?
You’re too small in stature and know nothing at all!
If you wanna listen to the message, I’ll preach to you!
Pastor Liao, though I’m small in stature,
I know that the Lord Jesus teaches us to love our enemies.
And you often preach it to us.
But today you treated them like this;
didn’t you disobey the Lord’s teaching?
Moreover, we hold fast to the Lord’s way and trust the Savior Jesus;
why do we fear a false one?
Something true won’t fear something false.
Why do we avoid the topic like this and dare not fellowship with them?
If we rely on the Lord Jesus’ power to debate with them,
can’t we also put Satan to shame?
We just dodged the matter like this; isn’t it humiliating?
Right. Didn’t you usually preach that in meetings?
Hmm, we shouldn’t treat them like this.
It’s not glorifying the Lord! (Yes!)
What do you know about it? They even stop reading the Bible.
Any belief that departs from the Bible is a heresy, a cult!
What’s wrong?
No, we can’t leave like this. I feel very uneasy.
Yeah, we preach the gospel to testify God
and bring the sheep that belong to God back to His family.
Leaving like this, we’re not satisfying God!
Just now I thought of those brothers’ and sisters’ hungry and thirsty eyes.
They’re all eagerly waiting for the Lord’s coming again,
while we just gave up because of such a little difficulty.
This is not caring for God’s will!
We’d better go back and try to stay
and fellowship with the brothers and sisters.
Okay, let’s go back quickly! (Hmm. OK.)
Pastor Liao, I find that there are Biblical bases in their fellowship.
They still read the Bible. I remember that Proverbs says,
And you often preach it to us.
But today you drove them out so impulsively even without listening.
You lost the Lord’s testimony!
Wu Mei, you seem to be deeply poisoned!
I never expected that you would get this far!
You know why I do this? Isn’t it all for protecting you?
Then, you won’t share in evil! (Right.)
Pastor Liao, if you really want to protect us, you should debate with them,
so that we can have a clear distinction between right and wrong. (Yes.)
I remember that the Bible records,
Now the brothers and sisters
are all weak in spirit, cold in faith, and hungry and thirsty.
However, we keep them under close control in the church,
neither letting them listen to the message
nor allowing them to receive others.
If this continues, won’t they all get dry in spirit?
We lead the church like this; is it protecting the flock?
Pastor Liao, you say that the “Eastern Lightning” is a heresy
and it departs from the Bible.
But we hold the sword of the truth the Lord Jesus bestows to us,
so we can absolutely debate with them.
The Bible says,
What shall we fear?
Relying on the Lord, we may well debate with them over right and wrong.
But why don’t we even have such faith in the Lord?
I don’t fear them.
I just feel it unnecessary to debate with them!
Such a debate is very necessary!
The brothers and sisters
can gain discernment from it and avoid being deceived.
Right. It’s good to discern. (Hmm.)
After we discern clearly, we don’t need to avoid them.
Yeah, we shouldn’t just avoid.
Sister Wang!
Pastor Liao, now we’ve come back
only to tell the brothers and sisters the news that the Lord has returned.
So they can know.
If we have different opinions, we can discuss and debate it.
Then won’t it be clear who’s right?
Yeah. Pastor Liao and I were just talking about it.
Whether it’s true or false will be verified with facts.
Yes, it should have been like this.
Today we’re gonna hear a good message. (Yes.)
Sister Wang, come! Please have a seat. (Hmm.)
Wang Yue, today I don’t wanna talk to you too much.
You just answer me one question.
You all say that the Lord Jesus has come back
and He has begun a new work, has expressed new words,
and even stops man from reading the Bible.
Today you must make it clear.
Right, make it clear! (Yeah.)
Brothers and sisters, God’s work and word are all in the Bible.
Only the Bible is the canon of Christianity. (Amen!)
Through several thousand years,
believers all over the world believe in the Lord on the basis of the Bible.
Amen!
Thus we can see the absolute authority and position of the Bible.
So, only those who hold on to the Bible won’t be deceived! (Amen!)
The Bible is the only criterion for us to be saved in believing in the Lord.
Amen!
The way that accords with the Bible is the true way!
Any belief that departs from the Bible is a heresy! (Amen!)
Pastor Liao, just now you said,
“God won’t do the work of salvation apart from the Bible.
Any belief that departs from the Bible is a heresy.”
This reminds me of a question,
that is, what came first, the Bible or God’s work?
I think it’s God’s work.
Hmm. Yes!
In the beginning, Jehovah created the heavens and the earth and all things,
and did such works as destroying the world by the flood
and burning Sodom and Gomorrah.
At the time God did these works, did the Old Testament exist?
How could it exist? (Yeah. Yes.)
Yeah, at the time God did these works, the Bible didn’t exist.
That is to say,
God’s work came first and then the record of the Bible.
Furthermore, in the Age of the Grace,
when the Lord Jesus worked, the New Testament didn’t exist.
The New Testament was formed in a religious conference after 300 A.D.
Religious leaders from different countries
selected the Four Gospels from the disciples’ records of Jesus’ work,
and they added some of the apostles’ letters to the churches
and Revelation recorded by the disciple John.
They compiled these contents together into the New Testament.
Brothers and sisters,
from the Bible’s compilation process, we can know
that the Bible is only a record of the history of God’s previous work.
Without God’s work, there wouldn’t be the Biblical record.
That is, God doesn’t work according to the Bible
and He isn’t restricted by the Bible,
because God just does the work of salvation
according to His own plan and mankind’s need.
So, we can’t confine God’s work in the Bible
or circumscribe God’s work with the Bible.
And we can much less say that
any belief that departs from the Bible is a heresy,
because God has the right to do His own work
and He also has the right to work outside the Bible.
Yeah, if we say that any belief that departs from the Bible is a heresy,
don’t we condemn God’s work of the past ages?
We all know,
at that time the Lord Jesus didn’t work according to the Old Testament.
For example, He preached the way of repentance,
healed the sick and drove out the demons,
no longer kept the Sabbath, and forgave others seventy times seven.
These can’t be found in the Old Testament,
and even contradict the law of the Old Testament.
At the time, those priests, elders, and teachers of the law
condemned the Lord Jesus’ work to be a heresy
just because Jesus didn’t carry out the work according to the Old Testament.
I remember that in Acts 24:14, Paul said,
Let’s think it over:
According to our viewpoint, the way Paul preached is a heresy.
Then isn’t Jesus’ way we believe in today condemned?
What do you think, Pastor Liao?
It sounds plausible! But it’s all your understanding, your thought. (Yes.)
Since I believed in God, what I contact with is the Bible! (Yeah.)
What’s more,
the Bible is a holy book universally acknowledged in the world. (Amen!)
It’s the most authoritative! (Amen!)
None of the books in the world
can be mentioned in the same breath with the Bible!
Today you ask me to leave the Bible and believe with you; that’s impossible!
Right! Impossible!
Pastor Liao, regarding the question we are discussing today,
let’s read Almighty God’s words,
Mm, Jesus’ work wasn’t recorded in the Old Testament,
so it was beyond the Old Testament.
That’s true.
What do you know? I think you’ve been deceived!
What do you know? We only listen to Pastor Liao! (Right!) Humph!
Humph! Since you’re talking smugly now, I’d like to see what you will say.
A fox can’t hide its tail.
By that time, I’ll use your words against you!
Brothers and sisters, through God’s words,
we know that we have been mentioning the Bible
in the same breath with God for many years.
And we all think that whoever believes in God must believe in the Bible
and that any belief that departs from the Bible
is not a belief in God but a heresy, a cult.
Actually,
the Bible is only a true record of the first two stages of God’s works,
that is, a true testimony of two stages of works,
in which God led mankind and redeemed mankind
after God created the heavens and the earth and all things and created mankind.
It doesn’t represent all God’s work of saving mankind.
God’s words recorded in the Bible are too limited!
They’re just a bit of the expression of God’s life disposition
and don’t represent all of God’s life disposition.
God doesn’t work according to the Bible or by consulting the Bible,
much less does He find paths in the Bible to lead His followers.
God’s work continually progresses.
God will open a new age and do a newer work,
that is, point a newer way to man, bestow the higher truth to man,
and let man gain God’s greater salvation.
So, God won’t be leading man according to the old work.
That is, God won’t work according to the Bible,
because God is not only the Lord of the Sabbath, but the Lord of the Bible!
He absolutely has the right to go beyond the Bible
and does a newer work according to His own plan
and mankind’s need at that time! (Yeah.)
Thus, God’s work of the new age
will surely be different from that of the old age recorded in the Bible.
So, “any belief that departs from the Bible is a heresy,”
this saying is simply untenable!
Yes. According to her fellowship, this saying is really untenable.
Yeah, it’s improper to say that.
I think that any belief that departs from the Bible is a heresy
and that it rejects the Lord Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit’s testimony!
Amen!
Because the Bible records,
Amen!
The Bible is God’s word. (Amen!)
So the Bible is from God!
We must believe in everything the Bible approves and instructs. (Amen!)
We must obey all the requirements in the Bible. (Amen!)
During the over two thousand years
from the time the Lord Jesus began to work till now,
has anyone believed in God not according to the Bible?
Aren’t your words today doubting the Bible’s authority? (Right!)
Pastor Liao, I had the same viewpoint as you before.
I also thought that if one believed in God not according to the Bible,
it meant that he denied its value.
So in my heart I just couldn’t accept it.
But later, through Almighty God’s disclosing of the Bible’s inside truth,
I came to know that this viewpoint wasn’t in accordance with the truth.
Almighty God doesn’t deny the value of the Bible.
The Bible is the testimony of the history of God’s work.
Pastor Liao, let’s read Almighty God’s words,
Brothers and sisters,
Almighty God has delivered the most accurate explanation of the Bible.
That completely represents God’s will!
Of course, corrupt mankind has no qualification to judge the Bible.
Only the incarnated Christ and the Holy Spirit
have the highest authority to judge it,
because the Bible came into being
due to Christ’s appearing and words and the Holy Spirit’s work
and it’s a record of God’s work in the Age of the Law and the Age of the Grace,
and it’s a true testimony of God’s work.
This is the preciousness of the Bible!
The Bible can help us know God’s past work
and God’s requirements for the mankind at that time.
So, every believer in God treasures and cherishes the Bible very much.
However, undeniably,
the Bible can only help us know the history of God’s work,
but can’t help us keep up with the pace of God’s work
and receive the eternal way of life!
So, we can’t equate the Bible with God,
thinking that God’s everything is in the Bible
and as long as we read the Bible, we can receive life.
This viewpoint is wrong!
We say these not to deny the Bible or to mean that the Bible is valueless.
We just hope that you can treat it correctly.
Don’t remain within its scope like the Pharisees,
in case you miss the opportunity of being saved by God.
Wang Yue! You have the nerve to preach the gospel here!
You even don’t know how to gain life in believing in God. (Right!)
How dare you deceive people here! (Right!)
It’s quite a job for you!
Tell me, is there any believer in God who doesn’t read the Bible? (Right!)
Is there any believer in God
who doesn’t receive the Lord’s salvation according to the Bible? (Right!)
Who doesn’t know the Bible has life?
But you deny it. Isn’t it seriously against the truth?
Yeah, can a believer receive life if he leaves the Bible?
Pastor Liao, the Bible doesn’t have eternal life.
Though it doesn’t fit our notion, it is a fact beyond argument.
This is because when the Lord Jesus rebuked the Pharisees,
He admonished people,
The Lord Jesus pointed out clearly
that in the Bible there was no eternal life.
If one wants to receive eternal life through searching the Bible,
he is wrong!
Because the Bible is only a testimony to God.
If one wants to receive the truth and life in believing in God,
he should not only read the Bible.
He has to come to Christ to receive the truth and life!
Yes! These words of the Lord Jesus have long been fulfilled.
Think back to the Pharisees who held on to the Old Testament.
They not only failed to receive eternal life,
but they were punished because of resisting Jesus’ new work.
On the contrary,
the disciples who came out of the Old Testament to follow Jesus
received the grace of redemption from God.
So, if one wants to receive eternal life from God,
he must come out of the Bible and receive God’s newest work and word,
and only thus can he receive the way of eternal life.
If one continues to hold on to the Bible,
he won’t be approved by God,
but instead he will lose God’s salvation, like Paul said,
The Israelites of that time could only enjoy God’s promises
in the Age of the Law in believing in Jehovah God.
If they didn’t accept the redemption of Jesus Christ,
they couldn’t be forgiven of their sins,
much less enjoy the peace and joy and the rich grace the Lord bestowed.
This is a fact!
Hmm. It’s already the end time now.
God has returned in the flesh and does a stage of new work.
If people want to receive the truth and life in believing in God,
it’s not enough just to rely on the testimonies in the Bible,
and moreover, they have to come to Christ to receive the truth and life.
Because only Christ can express the truth to redeem and save mankind.
God is a God who bestows life.
The Bible can’t replace God’s might,
or represent God to bestow life on man,
much less can it replace the working of the Holy Spirit.
Only if one accepts and obeys Christ
can he receive the working of the Holy Spirit and gain the truth and life.
If one only believes in the Bible
but refuses to accept the incarnated practical God,
he can’t receive life,
because the Bible isn’t God but merely a testimony of God’s work.
Mm. Yeah, the Lord Jesus said these indeed.
Paul also said that the scripture has concluded all under sin.
Did the Lord Jesus say that? How could it be possible?
Did the Lord personally say that?
If only read the Bible, can’t receive eternal life?
Impossible… But the Lord Jesus said these indeed.
Brothers and sisters, at that time, the Lord Jesus said so.
Today Almighty God says more clearly about it.
Well, let’s read Almighty God’s words,
Brothers and sisters,
God does the work of each stage within a very clear scope,
and He only does the work of that age.
However, God’s works continuously progress,
and they are uplifted from stage to stage,
are complementary and indispensable,
and become complete progressively.
If one only remains in a stage of God’s work,
he can only receive part of God’s salvation instead of God’s full salvation.
This is a fact!
That is, if one only remains in the scope of God’s previous work,
and he only believes in Jesus
but doesn’t accept the end-time work of the returned Jesus, Almighty God,
he will become one who resists God and betrays God.
He’ll waste all his previous efforts in believing in God,
and will lose the eternal way of life God bestows to man!
So, only if people accept the Christ who is incarnated in the end time
can they receive life.
If people only believe in the Bible,
they can’t receive the working of the Holy Spirit and can’t be saved by God!
Let’s read a passage of Almighty God’s words,
Speaking so much, you just want to say
it’s wrong for us to read the Bible and study the Bible!
Tell me! Besides the Bible, what else should we read?
Right! What to read?
Pastor Liao,
we don’t mean to stop you from reading the Bible through today’s fellowship.
We just hope that you can treat it correctly
through the truths Almighty God expresses today.
This is because God’s words recorded in the Bible are too limited
and most of them are only the record of God’s work
and the disciples’ experiences and testimonies.
How can these works of God represent God’s everything?
It can be said that God’s words in the Bible
are only one ten thousandth or one hundred millionth of God’s life.
If one wants to replace God with the Bible,
he’s really blaspheming God.
It’s not overstated at all.
Brothers and sisters, God’s work continuously progresses.
If one only holds on to the work God does in an age,
he is conservative and holding on to the history.
So, no matter how persistently we hold on to the history,
it can’t solve our practical problems and it’s meaningless.
That’s to say, there is no God’s present work
or God’s most realistic requirements for man in the Bible.
What the Bible records can by no means replace God’s end-time work.
Now Almighty God has come
and does the work of judgment, chastisement, purifying, and perfection.
Only if people receive Almighty God’s end-time judgment
can they be purified and saved by God.
Yeah, though there are only prophecies
but no factual records of God’s end-time work in the Bible,
it’s a deepened and uplifted work God does on the basis of the Bible
according to man’s actual need.
Like the Lord Jesus came at that time,
He didn’t work according to the Old Testament
but worked according to mankind’s need and God’s own plan.
On the basis of the work of the law,
He did a stage of redemptive work.
In other words,
He did a new and uplifted work on the basis of the Old Testament.
In that stage of work, He didn’t abolish the law but fulfilled the law.
Mm, similarly, today, in the end time,
according to mankind’s need and God’s management plan,
God has done a stage of newer and higher work
on the basis of the Lord Jesus’ redemptive work.
God has expressed many words that can have man purified and saved
and has disclosed all the mysteries of God’s management plan.
These words are the words
that God never spoke in the Age of the Law or in the Age of the Grace,
and are also the scroll God opens
and the seven seals that God breaks in the end time.
This just fulfills the prophecy in Revelation,
In Revelation 5:1-5, it says,
These prophecies came into existence
after the Lord Jesus had finished His work.
It’s self-evident that
these prophecies are surely the facts God will accomplish in the end time
and the work of salvation God will do in the end time.
Now, God has been incarnated to express the word
and do a stage of judging and purifying work.
He has expressed many words for man to be saved.
These words aren’t in the Bible but outside the Bible.
These rich words of life
are the way of life God bestows to mankind in the end time
and are also the only path for man to be saved.
If man refuses to accept them,
he will never receive the true watering of the living water of God’s life
and will never gain the truth and life from God!
Brothers and sisters, God is an ever-new and never-old God.
God’s work is progressing forward all the time,
and He always does the work He never did before.
So, in the Bible we can’t find the footsteps of God’s work,
much less understand God’s present will,
because being compatible with the Bible
doesn’t mean being compatible with God.
Wang Yue! Stop talking!
How dare you brazenly deceive people here! You’re too bold!
Now I don’t want to debate with you.
Go away! Don’t let me see you again!
Pastor Liao, we’re just telling everyone the news that God has come
so that they can hear God’s end-time gospel.
How can this be deceiving people?
Pastor Liao, after listening,
you may judge whether what we preach today is God’s voice;
I hope you can calm down and seek seriously.
We’re not in the same camp. What can we fellowship about?
I tell you, Wang Yue! Today as long as I’m here,
never expect to deceive one person from here!
Go away! Otherwise, I won’t be so easy on you! Go!
Pastor Liao, don’t get agitated, please.
Let’s hear and discern before making a decision.
Wu Mei, today you’re not qualified to speak!
Brother, what are you doing?
Cut the crap! Go away!
You want to deceive people here? It’s not easy!
Go now, everybody! Go home, all of you.
Don’t listen to their nonsense here.
You are small in stature and can’t withstand their deception at all.
Go home, go home!
If you want to hear preaching,
I’ll come here to preach to you another day!
They believe in a cult.
Whoever dares to be the first to believe, I’ll expel him!
Go quickly!
I don’t allow you to listen, and it’s all for your good!!
Go Go! Go! Go! Brother Liao, how can you do this?
Brothers and sisters want to hear. Why don’t you allow them to?
Don’t speak anymore! Humph!
Wang Yue, if you don’t go, I’ll call the police! Go or not?
Go home! Go now! Don’t listen to them.
They believe in a heresy and it doesn’t benefit your life.
You’re apt to be deceived. Your stature is too small.
Go! Drive them away. Drag them out!
Cut the shit. Out! Brother, what’re you doing?
Cut the crap! Go!
Go!
Get away from here!
Go! Go away!
It took us a great effort to call the brothers and sisters together.
What … what should we do now?
I never expected that they would be like that.
Let’s pray.
Almighty God! We’ve enjoyed such a great salvation from You. (Amen!)
But we couldn’t testify Your work and Your salvation for mankind. (Amen!)
We really let down Your thoughtful kind intention to us. (Amen!)
O God! Today we face the religious world’s frenzied resistance and hindrance.
O God! May You give us faith and strength, (Amen!)
so that we can cooperate with You by faith and resolution in such difficulty.
Amen!
O God! May You give us more wisdom and the proper words,
so that we can get Your sheep back. (Amen!)
O God! May Your will be carried out on us. (Amen!)
And may the kingdom gospel spread on earth. (Amen!)
O God! May Your words save more people to Your family. (Amen!)
O God! As long as the kingdom gospel can be spread,
we’re willing to suffer more greatly, (Amen!) O God, even at the cost of our lives.
We only beg You to give us more strength. (Amen!)
O God, because of our small stature and our weakness,
O God, may You make a way out for us in such difficulty. (Amen!)
O God, we only hope that we can accomplish Your commission smoothly (Amen!)
and bring before You those who sincerely believe in You. (Amen!)
All the glory be to Almighty God! (Amen!)
We can’t lose faith.
In such difficulty, we should even more rely on God and look to God.
We can’t lose heart.
Today we saw that the brothers and sisters wanted to hear. (Yes.)
We should go to them and continue to preach the gospel to them.
Even if Pastor Liao still disturbs,
I believe, as long as we rely on God, there is nothing difficult. (Yeah.)
Man can’t do it but God can surely accomplish it.
Right, we cannot give up. We should go on to preach the gospel. (Yeah.)
The brothers and sisters are innocent.
Today I saw that God’s gospel work is hard to be spread
because these religious leaders disturb like that. (Mm. Right.)
I believe that as long as we rely on God in one accord, (Mm.)
God will bless us.
Right, let’s go to the brothers and sisters this afternoon. (OK.)
These difficulties are to perfect our faith. (Mm.)
In fact, this is a war in the spiritual realm.
God comes to save man, but Satan isn’t resigned.
So we can never be discouraged. (Mm. Alright.)
OK! Let’s go to my cousin first.
She has a good humanity and truly believes in God.
This time, we won’t go to the meeting place.
We’ll go to her house directly.
Well. (Mm.)
May God lead us to get back more brothers and sisters. (OK.)
God will surely bless us! (Mm.)
Let’s sing a hymn of God’s word. (Mm.)
Let’s sing Hymn 388.
Cousin, what do you think of what happened today?
I really can’t bear to see it.
But he is a pastor. What can we do?
Sister, in believing in God, we can’t be restrained by others!
The One we believe in is God.
Today God does the end-time work
just to save man out of Satan’s power and from Satan’s forces of darkness.
Today, anyhow, we can’t let Wang Yue deceive people anymore. (OK.)
Hurry up! Hurry up!
Today we come to your house to exhort you.
We hope that today you can turn back and won’t fall into Sister Wu’s trap.
Sister Wu has been expelled from our church.
She is no longer a sister in our church. They’re our enemies.
Sister Xue, are you willing to bring the brothers and sisters before God?
I am! I’ll also go to the brothers and sisters.
Who is it? I’m coming!
Sister Liu.
You?
I come here specially to fellowship more with you.
No. Our pastor said what you believe in is a heresy, a cult.
We can’t receive you. Otherwise, we’ll be expelled.
Sister, we believe in God today.
Man’s word can’t represent God’s word.
We’ve believed in the Lord for years.
We expected the Lord for a long time, and now the Lord has returned.
When we fellowshipped that day,
I felt you still had many questions.
So today, I come specially to fellowship with you.
If you have any questions, just ask me.
If you don’t believe after we fellowship, I’ll leave.
OK, come in. (Mm. OK.)
What happened yesterday really surprised me.
Yeah. I never expected that Pastor Liao would be like that.
Brothers and sisters,
today we believe in God and we should never be restrained by man.
Today, you can come here; I’m really thankful.
And I thank God for His preparation.
We’ve believed in the Lord for decades.
Actually, we’ve been expecting the Lord Jesus’ returning.
Today if it is really the work that the returning Lord Jesus does,
we should seek and investigate and can’t treat it lightly. (Yes.)
Right. Actually, we feel the preaching yesterday is quite good.
Yes. It is quite good.
But I have some other questions and would like to seek.
Really thank God! The Lord Jesus has said such a word,
As long as we have a heart of seeking God,
I believe God will inspire and lead us to understand and know His work.
Mm. You said yesterday that God has done a new work
and we should obey and follow.
If we only hold on to the Bible
and don’t accept God’s present work and word,
we can’t receive His salvation. Is it so?
Yes. Today, God has done a new work.
Outside the Bible, He has expressed more words.
It fulfills the word the Lord Jesus said in the Bible,
The word Almighty God expresses
is leading man to enter into all the truths.
Only those who accept God’s end-time work
can see the mysteries of the six-thousand-year management plan God unlocks
and the words of chastisement and judgment He expresses.
These words are the truths for man to be saved and purified.
Only if one accepts the words God expresses in the end time
can he truly keep up with God’s footsteps and receive God’s salvation.
What is the new work?
About this question, Almighty God’s word explains very clearly.
Let’s read several passages of God’s words. (Well. Mm. OK.)
Turn to page 38, please.
I’ll read it,
Let’s turn to page 7.
And I’ll read it.
Let’s read another passage of God’s word. Page 446.
Sister Xue, read it, please.
Well, I’ll read it.
From God’s words, I indeed see
that God does the work of salvation according to our need.
Since God has done the new work,
we should obey and shouldn’t hold on to the old.
These words are too practical
and reveal the root of those questions which have puzzled me for years. (Mm.)
Right. We should investigate God’s new work together. (Mm.) Yes. We should make an investigation.
Their words are very reasonable.
But I still have a question.
If we don’t accept God’s new work
and only believe in Jesus and read the Bible, can’t we be saved?
If we really don’t accept God’s work of judgment and chastisement,
our corruption can’t be cast off
and we’ll still live in Satan’s power of darkness.
Of course, we can’t be saved.
Although we believe in Jesus and our sins are forgiven,
our sinful nature is still deeply rooted within us
and we live in the vicious circle of committing sins and confessing them
and confessing sins and committing them every day.
Moreover, the Bible says,
Now we are not holy.
If we don’t accept God’s work of judgment,
our sinful nature will always exist within us,
and we’ll go on committing sins.
So, if we don’t accept God’s work of judgment,
it’s true that we can’t be saved. (Mm.)
Then, let’s read a passage of God’s word together. (OK.)
Page 5.
Sister Wu, read it, please. (OK.)
We indeed need God’s salvation.
Yes. The more I hear God’s word, the more enlightened I become within.
God’s end-time work is indeed our need.
Otherwise, we will live in sins every day,
be bound and restrained by sins, (Yes.)
and eventually perish with Satan.
Thank the Lord! We’ve believed in the Lord for so many years
and just hope that we can commit no sins one day. (Right.)
Now we live in sin and the Lord is not pleased when He sees that. (Yes.)
After hearing God’s word today, I finally find the way to be purified.
Brothers and sisters,
God’s end-time work has long been carried out in China
and judgment has begun with the family of God.
Only if we accept the truth God expresses in the end time
can we gain the truth and receive God’s salvation.
If we always hold on to the Bible
and refuse to accept God’s present work or God’s work of judgment,
then we’ll never gain the truth or receive God’s salvation
and we’ll finally weep and gnash our teeth in darkness.
Let’s read another passage of words. (Mm.)
Page 45.
Christ is the truth, the way, and the life.
Only if we come out of the Bible and accept the truth God expresses
can we gain the truth and receive God’s salvation.
The letters in the Bible are not the truth,
much less can they be man’s life.
Only the word Christ expresses can be man’s life
and it is the truth man must possess to be saved.
These words have great authority and power!
We should seek seriously.
Yes. We indeed need to seek seriously.
God’s word speaks very clearly
that God’s disposition doesn’t tolerate any offense.
Since man believes in God,
man should accept God’s word and obey God’s work.
If we clearly know it is the truth and God’s work
but resist and refuse it deliberately, we’ll commit a monstrous sin,
because we are not resisting a man but Christ, God Godself.
So, only the last Christ can bring man the truth and bestow to man the life.
Only if we accept the words God expresses in the end time
can we receive God’s salvation and be approved by God in the end.
Through over one week’s fellowship,
all the brothers and sisters there accepted God’s end-time work.
Later, through the brothers and sisters’ cooperation,
those who truly believed in God in the local churches
returned before God in succession.
