The Words of the Holy Spirit | Almighty God's Words "Is the Work of God So Simple as Man Imagines?"
Almighty God says, "His work now is to make pure all that has been
corrupted by Satan so that they may be regained and become His
possession and become His glory. Such work is not as simple as man
imagines the creation of the heavens and earth and all things to be,
and it is not akin to the work of cursing Satan to the bottomless pit
as man imagines. Rather, it is to transform man, to turn that which
is negative into the positive and to take into His possession that
which does not belong to Him. This is the inside story of this stage
of God’s work. You must realize it, and should not oversimplify
matters. The work of God is unlike any ordinary work. Its marvel
cannot be conceived by the mind of man, and its wisdom cannot be
attained by such. God is not creating all things, and He is not
destroying them. Rather, He is changing all of His creation and
purifying all things that have been defiled by Satan. Therefore, God
shall commence work of great magnitude, and this is the total
significance of the work of God. From these words, do you believe
that the work of God is so simple?"
Almighty God's Word "God's Utterances to the Entire Universe The Thirteenth Utterance"
Almighty God says, “When
Satan comes before Me, I do not recoil from its wild ferocity, nor am
I frightened by its hideousness: I simply ignore it. When Satan
tempts Me, I see through its trickery, causing it to slink away in
shame and humiliation. When Satan fights with Me and tries to wrest
away My chosen people, I go all-out with it in My flesh; and in My
flesh I sustain and shepherd My people so that they may not easily
fall down or get lost, and I lead them every step of the way. And
when Satan retires in defeat, I will have been glorified in My
people, and My people will have borne bright and resounding witness
to Me. Hence, I will take the foils in My plan of management and cast
them down once and for all into the bottomless pit. This is My plan,
this is My work. In your lives, there may come a day when you will
meet with this kind of situation: Would you willingly allow
yourselves to fall captive to Satan, or will you have Me obtain you?
This is your own fate, and you must think it over carefully.”
Eastern Lightning, The Church of Almighty God was created because
of the appearance and work of Almighty God, the second coming of
the Lord Jesus, Christ of the last days. It is made up
of all those who accept Almighty God's work in the last days and
are conquered and saved by His words. It was entirely founded
by Almighty God personally and is led by Him as the
Shepherd. It was definitely not created by a person. Christ is
the truth, the way, and the life. God's sheep hear God's voice. As
long as you read the words of Almighty God, you will see God has
appeared.
God's Utterance "How to Know God’s Disposition and the Result of His Work" (Part Three)
Almighty God says, “When God gives you a trial, God sees whether you are
standing in opposition to God or whether you are standing in a
position that is compatible with Him, and He sees whether your heart
is on the same side as Him. When you are immature and facing trials,
your confidence is very low, and you can’t know exactly what it is
you need to do in order to satisfy God’s intentions because you
have a limited understanding of the truth. Despite all this, you can
still genuinely and sincerely pray to God, be willing to give your
heart to God, make God your sovereign, and be willing to offer unto
God those things that you believe to be most precious. This is what
it is to have already given your heart to God. As you listen to more
and more preaching, and you understand more and more truth, your
stature will also gradually mature. The standard which God demands of
you at this time is not the same as that when you were immature; He
demands a higher standard than that. When man’s heart is gradually
given to God, it is getting closer and closer to God; when man can
truly get near to God, they increasingly have a heart that fears Him.
God wants this kind of heart.”
Almighty God's Word "You Should Seek the Way of Compatibility With Christ"
Almighty God says, "I have done much work among man, and the words I have
expressed during this time have been many. These words are for the
sake of man’s salvation, and were expressed so that man might
become compatible with Me. Yet I have gained only a few people on
earth who are compatible with Me, and so I say that man does not
treasure My words, for man is not compatible with Me. In this way,
the work I do is not merely so that man can worship Me; more
importantly, it is so that man can be compatible with Me."
Eastern Lightning, The Church of Almighty God was created because

Almighty God's Word "Does the Trinity Exist?" | The Church of Almighty God
Almighty God says, "The Spirit within Jesus, the Spirit in heaven, and
the Spirit of Jehovah are all one. It can be called the Holy Spirit,
the Spirit of God, the seven fold intensified Spirit, and the
all-inclusive Spirit. The Spirit of God alone can carry out much
work. He is able to create the world and destroy it by flooding the
earth; He can redeem all mankind, and moreover, conquer and destroy
all mankind. This work is all carried out by God Himself and cannot
have been done by any other of the persons of God in His stead. His
Spirit can be called by the name of Jehovah and Jesus, as well as the
Almighty. He is the Lord, and Christ. He can also become the Son of
man. He is in the heavens and also on the earth; He is on high above
the universes and among the multitude. He is the only Master of the
heavens and earth!"
Almighty God's Word "Restoring the Normal Life of Man and Taking Him to a Wonderful Destination" (Part Two)
Almighty God says, "Once the work of conquest has been completed, man
will be brought into a beautiful world. This life will, of course,
still be on earth, but it will be totally unlike man’s life today.
It is the life that mankind will have after the whole of mankind has
been conquered, it will be a new beginning for man on earth, and for
mankind to have such a life will be proof that mankind has entered a
new and beautiful realm. It will be the beginning of the life of man
and God on earth. The premise of such a beautiful life must be that,
after man has been purified and conquered, he submits before the
Creator. And so, the work of conquest is the last stage of God’s
work before mankind enters the wonderful destination. Such a life is
man’s future life on earth, it is the most beautiful life on earth,
the kind of life that man longs for, the kind that man has never
before achieved in the history of the world. It is the final outcome
of the 6,000 years of work of management, it is what mankind yearns
for most, and it is also God’s promise to man."
The Church of Almighty God came into being because of the appearance and
work of the returned Lord Jesus—Almighty God, Christ of the last
days, and also under His righteous judgment and chastisement. The
church is comprised of all those who truly accept Almighty God’s
work of the last days and are conquered and saved by God’s word. It
was entirely founded by Almighty God personally, and is personally
led and shepherded by Him, and it was by no means set up by any man.
This is a fact acknowledged by all the chosen people in the Church of
Almighty God. Whoever is used by God incarnate is predestined by God,
and personally appointed and testified to by God, just as Jesus
personally chose and appointed the twelve disciples. Those who are
used by God only cooperate with His work, and cannot do God’s work
in His stead.
Almighty God's Word "The Essential Difference Between the Incarnate God and People Used by God"
Almighty God says, "The incarnate God can do the work of divinity, but
the people used by God cannot. At the beginning of each age, God’s
Spirit speaks personally to launch the new era and bring man to a new
beginning. When He finishes His speaking, it signifies that God’s
work in divinity is done. Thereafter, people all follow the lead of
those used by God to enter life experience. Similarly, in this stage
God brings man into the new age and gives everyone a new start. With
this, God’s work in the flesh concludes."
Almighty God's Word "God's Utterances to the Entire Universe (The Seventeenth Utterance)"
Almighty God says, “When the whole of humanity quiets down, I emit a gleam
of light before its gaze. Thereupon, men become clear of mind and
bright of eye, and cease to be willing to keep silent; thus,
spiritual feeling is summoned up in their hearts immediately. At this
time, all humanity is resurrected. Casting aside their unspoken
grievances, all men come before Me, having won another chance at
survival through the words that I proclaim. This is because human
beings all wish to live on the face of the earth. Yet who among them
has ever had the intention of living for My sake? Who among them has
ever uncovered splendid things in him to give Me pleasure? Who among
them has ever detected a seductive scent on Me?”
Almighty God says, "Mankind, who left the supply of life from the
Almighty, does not know why they exist, and yet fears death. There is
no support, no help, but mankind is still reluctant to close their
eyes, braving it all, drags out an ignoble existence in this world in
bodies without the consciousness of souls. You live like such, with
no hope; he exists like such, with no aim. There is only the Holy One
in the legend who will come to save those who moan in suffering and
long desperately for His arrival. This belief cannot be realized so
far in the people who are unconscious. However, the people still
yearn for it so. The Almighty has mercy on these people who suffer
deeply. At the same time, He is fed up with these people who have no
consciousness, because He has to wait too long for the answer from
humans. He desires to seek, seek your heart and your spirit. He wants
to bring you food and water and to awaken you, so you are no longer
thirsty, no longer hungry. When you are weary and when you begin to
feel the desolation of this world, do not be perplexed, do not cry.
Almighty God, the Watcher, will embrace your arrival any time."

Almighty God's Word "How to Know the God on Earth" | The Church of Almighty God
Almighty God says, "You regard all deeds of Christ from the standpoint of
the unrighteous and judge all His work and His identity and substance
from the perspective of the wicked. You have made a grave mistake and
done that which has never been done by those before you. That is, you
only serve the lofty God in heaven with a crown upon His head and
never attend to the God you regard as so insignificant as to be
unseen. Is this not your sin? Is this not the typical example of your
offense against the disposition of God? You very much worship the God
in heaven. You very much adore lofty figures and esteem those with
great eloquence. You are gladly commanded by the God that gives you
handfuls of riches, and greatly pine for the God who can fulfill your
every desire. The only one you do not worship is this God who is not
lofty; your sole object of hatred is association with this God whom
no man can regard highly. The only thing you are unwilling to do is
to serve this God who has never given you a single penny, and the
only one for whom you do not yearn is this unlovely God. Such kind of
God cannot enable you to broaden your horizons, to feel as if you
have found a treasure, much less fulfill what you wish. Why, then, do
you follow Him? Have you given thought to this question?"
"The Seven Thunders Peal—Prophesying That the Kingdom Gospel Shall Spread Throughout the Universe" (Excerpt, Stage Version) | The Church of Almighty God
Almighty God says, "I gave My glory to Israel and then took it away, and
afterward I brought the Israelites to the East, and all of humanity
to the East. I have brought them all to the light so that they may be
reunited with it, and be in association with it, and no longer have
to search for it. I shall let all who are searching see the light
again and see the glory I had in Israel; I shall let them see that I
have long ago come down upon a white cloud into the midst of mankind,
let them see the countless clouds of white and fruits in their
abundant clusters, and, what is more, let them see Jehovah God of
Israel. I shall let them look upon the Master of the Jews, the
longed-for Messiah, and the full appearance of Me who have been
persecuted by kings throughout the ages. I shall work upon the entire
universe and I shall perform great work, revealing all My glory and
all My deeds to man in the last days. I shall show My glorious
countenance in its fullness to those who have waited many years for
Me, to those who have longed for Me to come upon a white cloud, to
Israel that has longed for Me to appear once again, and to all
mankind who persecute Me, so that all will know that I have long ago
taken away My glory and brought it to the East, so that it is no
longer in Judea. For the last days have already come!"
"Throughout the universe I am doing My work, and in the East,
thunderous crashes issue forth endlessly, shaking all denominations
and sects. It is My voice that has led all men into the present. I
shall cause all men to be conquered by My voice, to fall into this
stream, and submit before Me, for I have long since reclaimed My
glory from all the earth and issued it forth anew in the East. Who
does not long to see My glory? Who does not anxiously await My
return? Who does not thirst for My reappearance? Who does not pine
for My loveliness? Who would not come to the light? Who would not
look upon the richness of Canaan? Who does not long for the return of
the Redeemer? Who does not adore the Great Almighty? My voice shall
spread throughout the earth; I wish, facing My chosen people, to
speak more words to them. Like the mighty thunders that shake the
mountains and rivers, I speak My words to the whole universe and to
mankind. Hence the words in My mouth have become man’s treasure,
and all men cherish My words. The lightning flashes from the East all
the way to the West. My words are such that man is loath to give them
up and at the same time finds them unfathomable, but rejoices in them
all the more. Like a newborn infant, all men are glad and joyful,
celebrating My coming. By means of My voice, I shall bring all men
before Me. Thenceforth, I shall formally enter into the race of men
so that they will come to worship Me. With the glory that I radiate
and the words in My mouth, I shall make it such that all men come
before Me and see that the lightning flashes from the East and that I
have also descended unto the “Mount of Olives” of the East. They
will see that I have already long been on earth, no longer as the Son
of the Jews but as the Lightning of the East. For I have long since
been resurrected, and have departed from mankind’s midst, and then
reappeared with glory among men. I am He who was worshiped countless
ages before now, and I am also the infant forsaken by the Israelites
countless ages before now. Moreover, I am the all-glorious Almighty
God of the present age! …" (from "The Word Appears in the
Flesh")

God's Utterance "God's Work, God's Disposition, and God Himself III" (Part Eight) | The Church of Almighty God
Almighty God says, “Although the Lord Jesus was resurrected, His heart and His work had not left mankind. He told people with His appearance that no matter what form He existed in, He would accompany people, walk with them, and be with them at all times and in all places. And at all times and all places, He would provide to mankind and shepherd them, allow them to see and touch Him, and make sure they never again feel helpless. The Lord Jesus also wanted people to know this: Their lives in this world are not alone. Mankind has God’s care, God is with them; people can always lean on God; He is the family of every one of His followers. With God to lean on, mankind will no longer be lonely or helpless, and those who accept Him as their sin offering will no longer be bound in sin. In human eyes, these portions of His work that the Lord Jesus carried out after His resurrection were very small things, but the way I see it, every single thing was so meaningful, so valuable, and they were all so important and weighty.”
Almighty God's Word "Concerning Appellations and Identity" (Part One) | The Church of Almighty God
Almighty God says, "Jesus represented the Spirit of God, and was the
Spirit of God working directly. He did the work of the new age, the
work that no one had done before. He opened up a new way, He
represented Jehovah, and He represented God Himself. Whereas with
Peter, Paul, and David, regardless of what they were called, they
only represented the identity of a creature of God, or were sent by
Jesus or Jehovah. So no matter how much work they did, no matter how
great the miracles they performed, they were still just creatures of
God, and incapable of representing the Spirit of God. They worked in
the name of God or after being sent by God; furthermore, they worked
in the ages begun by Jesus or Jehovah, and the work they did was not
separate. They were, after all, merely creatures of God."
God's Utterance "How to Know God’s Disposition and the Result of His Work" (Part One) | The Church of Almighty God
Almighty God says, “Rather,
it’s meant to improve your understanding of God’s intentions, and
improve your grasp on what God is thinking, what God wants to
accomplish, what kind of person that God likes, what God loathes,
what God despises, what type of person God wants to gain, and what
type of person God spurns. It’s meant to give your minds clarity,
to help you clearly know how far the actions and thoughts of each and
every one of you have strayed from the standard required by God.
Almighty God's Word "Many Are Called, but Few Are Chosen" | The Church of Almighty God
Almighty God says, "I am never hurried in My work. No matter how man
follows Me, I do My work in accordance with each step, as in My plan.
Therefore, though you may rebel against Me so much, I do not stop My
work and continue to speak the word I wish. I call to My house all
those I foreordained to listen to My word, then place all who obey
and long for My word before My throne. Those who betray My word,
those who do not obey and submit to Me, and those who openly defy Me,
shall all be cast off to the side to await their final punishment.
All men live in corruption and under the hand of the evil one, so not
many of those who follow Me actually long for the truth. That is to
say, most do not worship Me with a true heart or with the truth, but
try to gain My trust through corruption, rebellion, and deceitful
measures. It is for this reason I say, “Many are called, but few
are chosen.” All those called are deeply corrupted and live in the
same age, but those who are chosen are only that part which believes
in and acknowledges the truth and that which practices the truth.
These men are merely a very minor part of the whole, and from among
these men I shall receive more glory."
God's
Utterance "God's Work, God's Disposition, and God Himself I
(Part One)" (Excerpt) | The Church of Almighty God
Almighty God says, "God created mankind; regardless of whether they have
been corrupted or whether they follow Him, God treats human beings as
His loved ones—or as human beings would say, the people dearest to
Him—and not His playthings. Although God says He is the Creator and
that man is His creation, which may sound like there is a bit of a
difference in rank, the reality is that everything God has done for
mankind far exceeds a relationship of this nature.
Almighty
God's Utterance "God Himself, the Unique (III) God's Authority
(II)" (Part Five) | The Church of Almighty God
Almighty God says, “So
no matter how far you have walked in life, no matter how old you are
now, no matter how long the rest of your journey is, first you must
recognize God’s authority and take it seriously, accept the fact
that God is your unique Master. Attaining clear, accurate knowledge
and understanding of these truths regarding God’s sovereignty over
human fate is a mandatory lesson for everyone, is the key to knowing
human life and attaining the truth, is the daily life and basic
lesson of knowing God that everyone faces, and which no one can
evade. If some of you wish to take shortcuts to reach this goal, then
I say to you, that is impossible! If some of you want to escape God’s
sovereignty, that is even more impossible! God is man’s only Lord,
God is the only Master of human fate, and so it is impossible for man
to dictate his own fate, impossible for him to surpass it. ”
Almighty
God's Word "God's Utterances to the Entire Universe (The Seventh
Utterance)" | The Church of Almighty God
Almighty
God says, “But
today, you have, in My keeping, at last conquered all difficulties
and entered into happiness together with Me; this is the
crystallization of My wisdom. Nevertheless, remember this well! Who
among you has fallen down while you remained strong? Who among you
has been strong without ever having moments of weakness? Among men,
who has enjoyed any blessing that did not come from Me? Who has
experienced any misfortune that did not come from Me? Could it be
that all those who love Me receive only benediction? Could it be that
misfortunes befell Job because he failed to love but rather resisted
Me? Could it be that Paul managed to serve Me with loyalty in My
presence because he was truly able to love Me?
Though you may hold
fast to My testimony, can there be any one among you whose testimony
is, like pure gold, unadulterated with impurities? Is man capable of
genuine loyalty? That your testimony brings Me enjoyment does not
conflict with your “loyalty,” because I have never demanded much
from anyone. Going by the original intention of My plan, you would
all be “second-rate goods—unsatisfactory.” Is this not an
example of what I told you “casting grains of mercy”? Is not what
you see My salvation?”
