God’s Sheep Hear the Voice of God | In Searching for the True Way, We Must Be Possessed of Reason

In Searching for the True Way, We Must Be Possessed of Reason

      
The Wisdom of God Is Unfathomable to Man
    God and man cannot be spoken of as equals. His substance and His work are most unfathomable and incomprehensible to man. If God does not personally do His work and speak His words in the world of man, then man would never be able to understand the will of God, and so, even those who have devoted their entire life to God would be incapable of gaining His approval. Without God’s work, no matter how good man’s doing, it will count for nothing, for the thoughts of God shall always be higher than the thoughts of man, and the wisdom of God is unfathomable to man. And so I say that those who have “seen through” God and His work are ineffectual, they are all arrogant and ignorant. Man should not define the work of God; moreover, man cannot define the work of God. In the eyes of God, man is smaller than an ant, so how can man fathom God’s work? Those who are constantly saying, “God does not work in this or that way” or “God is like this or that”—are they not all arrogant? We should all know that people, who are of the flesh, have all been corrupted by Satan. It is their nature to oppose God, and they are not on a parity with God, much less can they offer counsel for the work of God. How God guides man is the work of God Himself. Man should submit, and should not hold such and such a view, for man is but dust. Since we try to seek God, we should not superimpose our conceptions on the work of God for God’s consideration, least of all should we employ our corrupt disposition to deliberately try to oppose the work of God. Would that not make us antichrists? How could such people say that they believe in God? Since we believe that there is a God, and since we wish to satisfy Him and to see Him, we should seek the way of truth, and should look for a way to be compatible with God. We should not stand in stiff-necked opposition to God; what good could come of such actions?
    Today, God has new work. You may not accept these words, they may feel odd to you, but I advise you not to reveal your naturalness, for only those who truly hunger and thirst for righteousness before God can obtain the truth, and only those who are truly devout can be enlightened and guided by God. Nothing will come of seeking the truth through quarreling. Only by seeking calmly can we obtain results. When I say that “Today, God has new work,” I am referring to God’s return to flesh. Perhaps you do not mind these words, perhaps you despise them, or perhaps they are of great interest to you. Whatever the case, I hope that all those who truly yearn for the appearance of God can face this fact and give it careful consideration. It is best not to jump to conclusions. This is the way that wise people should act.

Almighty God’s Word—The Appearance of God Has Brought a New Age

Seek, and you shall find; knock, and it shall be opened to you.
God’s six-thousand-year management plan is coming to an end, and the gate of the kingdom has been opened to all those who seek the appearance of God. Dear brothers and sisters, what are you waiting for? What is it that you seek? Do you await the appearance of God? Are you searching for the footprints of God? How the appearance of God is yearned for! And how difficult it is to find God’s footprints! In an age such as this, in a world such as this, what must we do to witness the day of God’s appearance? What must we do to follow the footprints of God? Such questions are faced by all those who await the appearance of God. You have all considered them on more than one occasion—but with what outcome? Where does God appear? Where are the footprints of God? Have you gained the answers? Many people’s reply would be this: God appears among those who follow Him and His footprints are among us; it’s that simple! Anyone can provide a formulaic answer, but do you understand what the appearance of God is, and what the footprints of God are? The appearance of God refers to His personal arrival on earth to do His work. With His own identity and disposition, and in His inherent method, He descends among man to conduct the work of initiating an age and ending an age. This kind of appearance is not a form of ceremony. It is not a sign, a picture, a miracle, or a grand vision, and even less is it a kind of religious process. It is a real and actual fact that can be touched and beheld. This kind of appearance is not for the sake of following a process, or for the sake of a short-term undertaking; it is, rather, for the sake of a stage of work in His management plan. The appearance of God is always meaningful, and is always connected to His management plan. This appearance is completely different from the appearance of God’s guidance, leadership, and enlightenment of man. God carries out a stage of great work each time He reveals Himself. This work is different from that of any other age. It is unimaginable to man, and has never been experienced by man. It is work that starts a new age and concludes the old age, and it is a new and improved form of work for the salvation of mankind; moreover, it is work of bringing mankind into the new age. That is the significance of the appearance of God.

The Hymn—Do You Wish to Know the Root of Why the Pharisees Opposed Jesus?

Do You Wish to Know the Root of 

Why the Pharisees Opposed Jesus? 



I

Do you wanna know why the Pharisees opposed Jesus?
Do you wanna know what their substance is?
They were full of fantasies about the Messiah,
only believing in His coming, not seeking truth of life till today.
They’re still waiting for Him, still not knowing the way of truth or life.
II
Do you wanna know why these silly folk didn’t gain God’s blessing?
Do you wonder how they failed to behold the Messiah?
They opposed Jesus, not knowing He spoke the way of truth,
didn’t understand the Messiah or the Holy Spirit’s work, never seen or been with Him.
They paid empty tributes to His name and all the price to resist Him.
III
Disobedient, stubborn, arrogant, they held stubbornly this belief:
Though profound was His preaching and authority on high,
only if He’s called Messiah were they willing to concede.
But these are ramblings man should ridicule and label as grandiose fantasies.
IV
God is asking you: Are you not gonna repeat the Pharisees’ mistakes?
Since you do not understand Jesus Christ,
are you able to discern the way of truth and way of life,
watch the Holy Spirit’s work and follow in His light?
Can you guarantee you’ll not oppose Christ?
If no, then you’re on the brink of death, not life.
