God’s Words Guide Me to Learn How to Educate My Children (II)

One day after dinner, I taught my eldest son how to read Chinese—just the simple words, “Heaven, earth, people, and, earth, daddy, mommy….” I taught him quite a few times, but he still couldn’t write them.
The Power of God's Word | Christian Music "The Creator's Authority Never Changes"
God is with authority and power; they are real, not merely words.
Revealed in steps, shown in His creation and His control over all things.
Seen in how He guides and manages man.
Proved by every way, detail and perspective of His rule,
by His deeds and grasp of all things.
Heaven and earth may change a lot, but God’s authority will stand firm.
All things may vanish and be gone, but God’s authority remains.
This is the essence of it. Unique to God, the Creator.
God’s authority and power, seen in all things, revealing they are real.
With them, God works, rules, and makes commands.
No angels nor God’s messengers can wield such power in His stead.
Only God can exert this power.
No one, no thing can escape from it or change the rules God wields it by.
Such power and rules will never change.
Heaven and earth may change a lot, but God’s authority will stand firm.
All things may vanish and be gone, but God’s authority remains.
This is the essence of it. Unique to God, the Creator.
The Judgement Day Is Come | Christian Song | "God Descends With Judgment"
I
While coming down to the nation of the great red dragon, God turns to face the universe and it starts shaking. Is there any place that doesn't face His judgment? Or live in the scourge that He unleashes? Everywhere He goes He scatters seeds of disaster, but through it gives salvation and shows His love. God wishes to make more people know Him, see Him and then revere Him. They've not seen Him for so long, but now He's so real.

Only Those
Who Obey God Become Flesh
Can Be Made Perfect
I
Obey God who becomes flesh,
He'll make you perfect.
Believe in God in heaven
and you'll gain nothing.
For God on earth not heaven
gives man promises.
For God on earth not heaven
gives man His blessings.
Don't magnify God in heaven
and see God on earth as ordinary.
For this is unfair to God.
God in heaven's lofty
and He is wondrous,
He is amazingly wise,
but just doesn't exist.
God on earth is normal and small
with ordinary thoughts.
His deeds are not impressive,
His work normal and real.
He doesn't speak through thunder
or call wind and rain.
Yet He's God in human form,
He lives among man.
II
Do not magnify the God
who you understand,
fits your imagination
of what He is like.
Do not look down on the God
whom you cannot accept
and you cannot imagine.
No, don't do this.
This is man's disobedience
and a major source
of opposition to God.
Yes, this is the root.

Love of God | Christian Song | "God's Substance and Disposition Have Always Been Open to Mankind"
I
Since God's first touch with mankind, He has been revealing to them His essence and what He is and has, without cease, constantly. Whether people through the ages can see or understand, God speaks and works to show His disposition and essence. Never concealed, never hidden, released without reservation, God's essence and disposition, His being and possession, are revealed as He works and engages with mankind.
I
Greatness, holiness, sovereignty and love, details of God's essence and disposition are revealed every time He implements His work, seen in His will toward man, fulfilled in the lives of all people.
Since we are searching for the footprints of God, we must search, search for God's will, search for God's words and the utterances of God, search for God's words and the utterances of God. For where there are the new words of God, there is the voice of God, the voice of God; where there are the footsteps of God, there are God's deeds, there are God's deeds. Where there is the expression of God, there is the appearance, appearance of God, and where there is the appearance of God, there is the truth, the way, and the life.
II
While seeking God's footprints, you all ignored the words that "God is the truth, the way, and the life." So when many people receive the truth, they do not believe they have found God's footprints and even less acknowledge the appearance of God. What a serious fault! What a serious fault! God's appearance cannot be accordant with man's notions, much less can God appear at man's request. When He does His work, He makes His own choices, makes His own choices, has His own plans. Moreover, He has His own targets, and His own methods, His own methods. When He does His work, He does not need to discuss His work with man, seeking man's advice, much less notify everyone. This is God's disposition, this should be realized by every one.
III
If you desire to witness the appearance of God, if you wish to follow the footprints of God, then you must first transcend your own notions. You must not demand that God do this or that, much less should you place Him within your own confines and limit Him to your own conceptions. Instead, you should ask how you should seek the footprints of God, accept the appearance of God, and how you should submit to the new work of God; that is what should be done by man, should be done by man. Since no one, no one else is the truth, and none possesses, possesses the truth, man should seek, accept and obey. Since no one is the truth, no one is the truth, and none possesses, possesses the truth, man should seek, accept and obey. Man should seek, accept and obey.

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.

When God incarnate comes to do His work on earth, man's faulty notion of Him will forever be laid bare, because the normality and reality of God incarnate is the opposite of man's vague, mythical idea of Him. It's only through this contrast that man's old concept of God is revealed. Only God can do this work. No matter how rich man's words, they cannot articulate the normality, nor the reality of God Himself. When God becomes the flesh and works among mankind, they will see Him more clearly and know Him more practically. When God becomes the flesh and works among mankind, they can be saved from the influence of Satan. Only God incarnate can thoroughly save mankind.
II
Man knows God more practically and sees Him much more clearly, when God works among them to show His image and being. This effect cannot be achieved by any fleshly man, nor can it be achieved by God's Spirit on His own. Through His incarnation or the flesh His Spirit wears, God achieves His purpose of saving man from Satan. The flesh is both man and God, possessed of humanity and also full divinity; flesh is not Spirit. When God becomes the flesh and works among mankind, they will see Him more clearly and know Him more practically. When God becomes the flesh and works among mankind, they can be saved from the influence of Satan. Only God incarnate can thoroughly save mankind.
III
The flesh differs from the Spirit, but it is still incarnate God who does the saving work of man, and is Spirit and flesh in one. No matter how He is called, it is ultimately God Himself who saves mankind, for the work of the Spirit cannot be separated from the work of the flesh. It's just the work isn't done by the Spirit but done in the flesh. The work of the Spirit needs no incarnation. But the work of the flesh can't be done by the Spirit. Only through incarnation can God do His work on earth, and fulfill His mission to save corrupt mankind. When God becomes the flesh and works among mankind, they will see Him more clearly and know Him more practically. When God becomes the flesh and works among mankind, they can be saved from the influence of Satan. Only God incarnate can thoroughly save mankind. Only God incarnate can thoroughly save mankind. Only God incarnate can thoroughly save mankind, only God incarnate.

Love is a pure emotion, pure without a blemish. Use your heart, use your heart to love and feel and care. Love doesn't set conditions or barriers or distance. Use your heart, use your heart to love and feel and care. If you love you don't deceive, grumble, turn your back, look to get something in return. If you love you'd sacrifice, accept hardship and be one with God in harmony.
II
In love there's no suspicion, no cunning, no deceit. Use your heart, use your heart to love and feel and care. In love there is no distance and nothing that's not pure. Use your heart, use your heart to love and feel and care. If you love you don't deceive, grumble, turn your back, look to get something in return. If you love you'd sacrifice, accept hardship and be one with God in harmony.
III
You would give your family, youth and future you may see, give your marriage up for God; you would give your all for Him. You would give your family, youth and future you may see, give your marriage up for God; you would give your all for Him. Or your love's no love at all, but deceit, betrayal of God.
IV
Love is a pure emotion, pure without a blemish. Use your heart, use your heart to love and feel and care. Love doesn't set conditions or barriers or distance. Use your heart, use your heart to love and feel and care.
from "Many Are Called, but Few Are Chosen" in The Word Appears in the Flesh
That God has become flesh shakes the religious world, upsets the religious order, and stirs up the souls of all who long for God's appearance. Who does not marvel at this? Who does not long to see God? God has spent years among man, but man is simply unaware of this. Today, God Himself has appeared to renew His old love with man.
II
After He left from Judea, God vanished without a trace. People long to see Him again, but never have they expected to reunite with Him here and today. How could this not bring back memories of the past? Two thousand years ago, Simon son of Jonah met Lord Jesus, and ate with the Lord at the same table. Years of following deepened his love for Him. He loved Jesus to the bottom of his heart. God has spent years among man, but man is simply unaware of this. Today, God Himself has appeared to renew His old love with man, to renew His old love with man.
from "Work and Entry (10)" in The Word Appears in the Flesh
The leaders of the religious world stray from the Lord's way and follow worldly trends, they also cooperate with the ruling power's wild defiance and condemnation of the Eastern Lightning, and they have already begun to walk the path of opposition to God. The religious world has degenerated into the city of Babylon. The Bible says, "And Jesus went into the temple of God, and cast out all them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the moneychangers, and the seats of them that sold doves, And said to them, It is written, My house shall be called the house of prayer; but you have made it a den of thieves" (Matthew 21:12-13). "Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird. For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies" (Revelation 18:2-3).
The Significance of God's Two Incarnations
I
God began His work of salvation in the Age of Grace, after the end of the Age of Law. The first incarnation redeemed man from sin through the flesh of Jesus Christ. He saved man from the cross, but man's satanic dispositions lingered on. In the last of days, God judges to purify mankind. It's only when this is done will He end His work of salvation and enter into rest.
II
He lives among man, experiencing his suffering, and gifts to man His word. All man can touch is God's incarnate flesh. Through Him man can receive salvation and understand all words and truths. The second incarnation, enough to purify man, thus completing all the work and the meaning of His incarnation. The work of God in the flesh will now come to an end. He won't incarnate in flesh.
III
After this incarnation, His work in flesh and salvation will cease. For He'll have divided man and gained His chosen people. The second incarnation will deliver the forgiven ones. Dispositions will change and they'll be clean. Breaking free from Satan's influence, they'll return to God's throne. Yes, it's the only way to be fully sanctified.

All Things Exist Under the Authority of the Creator
I
Step by step, the Creator did the work intended according to His plan. One by one, they appeared, the things intended according to His plan. All things exist under His authority. All creatures give thanks to Him for His provision and His grace. Whatever shape or structure doesn't matter. All were made by the Creator.
II
Piece by piece, the world did grow, miraculous deeds creating many things. From chaos and darkness to clarity and brightness; deathly stillness turned limitless life. All things exist under His authority. All creatures give thanks to Him for His provision and His grace. Whatever shape or structure doesn't matter. All were made by the Creator.
III
All of creation, great to small, small to tiny, made by God. A unique and inherent necessity and value to the existence of every creature. All things exist under His authority. All creatures give thanks to Him for His provision and His grace. Whatever shape or structure doesn't matter. All were made by the Creator. All were made by the Creator. Step by step, the world did grow, made by God according to His plan.

The Lives of All Beings of Creation Come From God
I
The life bestowed upon man by God is endless, unfettered by flesh, time, or space. Though it is mysterious, it serves as proof, proof of God's gift of life. Many people may not believe the life source is from God, but they are enjoying all that comes from God. Should God have a change of heart and reclaim all the world and His life, then all the world and living beings, all creation will forever be gone. God gives His life to all things living or lifeless. His power and authority bring good order, an incomprehensible truth that is a testament to the life force of God.
II
Now God wants to tell you a secret: The greatness and power of God, it lies beyond the reach of all His creatures. It is thus now and evermore. God is the life source for all creation in its many different forms. All living things follow the path made by God. It is through God's care and provision that man receives God's gift of life, without which man's life loses value and his course is set adrift. If man fails to cherish all that God bestows, God, the Creator, will take it all back. Man's reparations shall be heavy for all that God has given to man.

To Gain Eternal Life, You Must Know the Source of It
I God is the source of the life of man; heaven and earth live by His power. Nothing alive can free itself from God's rule and authority. It doesn't matter who you are, everyone must obey God, submit to His dominion, to His control and commandments! Maybe you are eager to find the life and the truth, find the God whom you can trust to receive the eternal life. If you want to get life eternal, find its source and where God is. God is life that does not change, only He has the way of life. Since God is the way of life, God is the way to eternal life.
II
In the last days God's work is new. He's sovereign in the universe. He's the mainstay in every heart, and He lives and breathes among man. Only then can He bring new life and lead man into the way of life. God comes to earth to live among man, so man may gain life and exist. God commands the universe to serve His management work. Not just in heaven or man's heart, God is living in this world. Denial of this truth will bring you neither the way of truth nor life. If you want to get life eternal, find its source and where God is. God is life that does not change, only He has the way of life. Since God is the way of life, God is the way to eternal life. If you want to get life eternal, find its source and where God is. God is life that does not change, only He has the way of life. Since God is the way of life, God is the way to eternal life. God commands the universe, He is the only way to life. God is the way to eternal life.
