Welcome to the interview dialogue of The Trumpet of Truth.

I'm your host Jane.

Since Almighty God started His end-time work in China,

the words of Almighty God have been testified and spread wider and wider.

Now, God's work in the last days has already been extended overseas.

Almighty God's Word has also been translated into many languages and published online.

More and more people who truly believe in God, thirst for and seek the truth

are investigating Almighty God's work.

Many people want to know more about The Church of Almighty God

and God's new work in the last days.

So today we invite two American Christians from The Church of Almighty God

to share with us their stories,

and what they have experienced in The Church of Almighty God.

They are our special guests—Tina and her husband Charlie.

Hi Tina, Charlie.

Hi Jane.

Nice to meet you.

Nice to be here.

Welcome to our studio.

Thank you for having us.

Which part of the U.S. are you from?

Golden Valley, Arizona.

Yes, between Laughlin and Kingman. And it's a small town.

Kingman's the bigger city.

But, we're like in a small town.

There's probably 35,000 people.

And Arizona is known for its sunsets and sunrises.

We have some beautiful sunsets and sunrises there.

Are there many Christians there?

There's quite a few Christians there.

There's a lot of different small Churches.

Baptists, Methodists, Lutheran.

Were you a Christian before you accepted God's end-time work?

Yes.

I've always been a Christian.

I've always believed in God since I was a young child. So, yes.

So, you read the Bible often and pray to God everyday?

Um ... Yes,

I read the Bible starting probably in my early twenties on my own.

And it progressed on through the years.

So yeah, I read a lot of the Bible.

And, how about your family?

How many children do you have?

We have four children. Two older girls. One 24 and one 19.

The 24-year-old, her name is Brittney.

She works in the medical field.

My 19-year-old, her name is Gabrielle.

She works in the dentistry field.

And then we have two boys, 12, Doniphan and John.

They're still in middle school, very active in sports.

And they also believe in God.

We're raising them with God also.

Wonderful. Blessed family.

Thank you.

Thank God.

We actually fellowship as a family on Sundays.

And the two younger boys, they fellowship with the youth group on Fridays.

Wonderful.

Yeah.

How did you come into contact with The Church of Almighty God?

Um … I actually came in contact with the Church, it was um …

it's God's blessing actually, He directed me to the Church.

Um … Back in 2016,

I started thinking about what life was really about,

the purpose of life, and what the meaning of life was.

Because of going through the motions of tradition—

working, striving to make money, gaining possessions,

then the end result is always being death.

I thought there's gotta be more to life than this.

Life is very precious.

So, I started praying to God every day.

And I asked God to show me what His will was,

and what my purpose in life was to have meaning.

'Cause I wanted to have meaning within my life,

I dedicated myself to praying every day.

And I saw a lot throughout the year about words,

how important words are,

that God's words are very very powerful.

He said beginning "Let there be light." And there was light. (see Gen 1:3)

So, God's words are very powerful.

And then I recognized I've read many times in the Bible, in John 1:1,

it says, "In the beginning was the Word,

and the Word was with God, and the Word was God."

So, Words are very important.

And I looked on Facebook a lot 'cause I wanted to find truth.

So, I'd punched in "truth" on Facebook.

And I've never seen anything different.

So, I joined some different Christian sites

just to see if I could find God, find the truth.

And I've never seen much difference.

It was all about

"give all your problems to God and God will solve everything."

It's kinda like:

Rely on God, just believe in Him, and rely on Him,

and He'll make the way for you.

So it was nothing different than what's been preached throughout time, history.

And then I recognized a different site on Facebook.

It was called "The Lord Jesus Has Already Returned."

And I started reading some of the stuff they were posting from there.

And it amazed me. It was a lot different.

It talked about God's judgment in the end times,

that it is here, how one really believes in God,

how you should believe in God,

and that God's words have been expressed,

and they've been brought down to the earth.

And it made me think, you know,

I was very interested in finding out more.

And one day there was a live video on from that site.

And I actually clicked on the live video.

And I wasn't on there very long and I got a message in my messenger box

from a sister from The Church of Almighty God.

And we started talking about my beliefs.

And she started telling me a little bit about God's end-time plan.

And it was very interesting.

I wanted to learn more, so I agreed to start fellowshiping.

And I can tell you it was the best decision of my entire life.

Amen.

Amen.

Yeah, your prayer's answered.

Oh yes.

Wonderful.

Yeah, I have met some people,

who are eagerly waiting for the Lord's return,

and have kept on praying for it.

And one day they saw a film or a video, or an article of Almighty God's word

that touched their heart.

And they realized their prayer's answered.

Yes.

And from then on

they started to truly believe, and accept God's end-time work.

Yes. It's something that we've never seen before.

Everybody believes that

just believing in Jesus, and asking for forgiveness for your sins,

we're saved.

But this seems to go a little bit beyond that,

of knowing how God's been among us managing us, trying to save us.

So, it goes a lot deeper than what I've learned searching on my own.

And then finding this, it was a blessing to find it.

So, how did you, in the end, become certain that it is God's work?

Um … Because it's a continuation of the Lord Jesus' work in the Age of Redemption.

Like I was saying,

forgiveness of sins, we sin during the day

and we ask for forgiveness of sins at night.

Well, the Age of Kingdom is here

and it's a purification process.

God is the beginning and the ending.

God is the only One that can end an age and open up a new age.

And we can see that from the Old Testament into the New Testament,

where God gave mankind laws in the Old Testament.

And in the New Testament

He was actually the sin offering for mankind, to redeem mankind of their sins.

So He ended the age, which is called the Age of Law of the Old Testament,

and the Age of Grace which is the New Testament.

He ended that age and opened up a new age.

And now, we've gone into the Age of Kingdom,

and the Age of Kingdom has opened up to where

God is holding us up to a higher standard of purifying us.

So we can be cleansed of our corruption

and actually know where the root of our corruption comes from.

So, it's amazing.

And God is the only One that can actually express the truth.

Mankind doesn't have truth.

They have opinions, they have notions,

they have imaginations.

But, who's to say who's right and who's wrong?

Now God, He expresses the truth,

He reveals everything about God:

God's disposition, God's substance.

He knows what's in man's heart and what's in man's mind.

No man could ever know that.

So, God has revealed all truths.

And, by revealing the truth and giving us one way to follow,

we can recognize how corrupt we are.

'Cause when we see the truth, it's God's truth,

we see that we've fallen so far away from God over the years,

that God's trying to give us the way to get back to Him to be purified,

to be able to enter into the Kingdom.

Amen.

So, it's amazing.

I'm so happy for you.

Oh, I feel very blessed, believe me,

that I can hear God's voice.

Amen. How about you Charlie then?

Um … I was very skeptical.

I'm very arrogant. And I'm a stubborn man.

So, I didn't wanna believe initially.

There was nobody that was going to make me believe:

my wife, my dad, my mom.

So, until I picked up the book (Utterances of Christ of the Last Days)

and started reading for myself,

I've seen the authority and the power in the words in the book.

And I said to myself: Well, no man can talk to me this way.

It must be God, because that's how the Bible used to talk to me.

So I found a lot of authority and power in the words.

And that touched my heart deeply.

So then I also started reading and fellowshiping after that.

That means Tina first contacted the words of Almighty God,

and then you were not really convinced before.

And then …

Gradually I came around to it and started searching it,

because it seemed, you know, it seemed like it was right

by what she was studying and what she was saying.

It sounded true, but I didn't …

Me being skeptical and arrogant I just was like: No way.

You know, it's (the Lord's return) supposed to be in the clouds.

I didn't expect words to be what was gonna judge me and chastise me.

I never expected that.

So, it was very deep that it happened that way.

And from there, from reading those words,

then I started to get more interested in it.

And started researching the truth more.

And research … and it was very good.

Yeah. So from which aspect did you make certain that it's God's work?

Um … Actually it was a passage in His book.

May I read it to you?

Yeah. Sure, go ahead.

"My words are the forever unchanging truth.

I am the supply of life for man and the only guide for mankind.

The worth and meaning of My words are not determined

by whether they are recognized or accepted by mankind,

but by the substance of the words themselves.

Even if not a single person on this earth can receive My words,

the value of My words and their help to mankind are inestimable by any man.

Therefore, when faced with the many men who rebel against, refute,

or are utterly contemptuous of My words,

My stance is only this:

Let time and facts be My witness

and show that My words are the truth, the way, and the life.

Let them show that all I have said is right,

and is that which man should be furnished with,

and, moreover, that which man should accept" (The Word Appears in the Flesh).

Amen!

It's very touching.

It's deep words that,

you know, only God could speak to you through.

It's very powerful to know that of this time,
