In God's harsh judgment and revelation,

I saw God's righteous and majestic disposition which is intolerant of offense by man.

God gives us trials and refinement to purify us and change us.

It showed me God's care in granting mankind salvation.

I saw the truth of God's love for mankind.

Your testimony is so helpful for us.

Amen.

Your fellowship is so practical. It teaches much and shows us a way. (Yes.)

But we'd like to know:

How did you experience Almighty God's chastisement and judgment?

How did you experience, practice,

and enter into the truth expressed by Almighty God?

Yes. I also want to know. I wanna listen, too.

If you have testimony of Almighty God's judgment and chastisement,

we'll be convinced.

That's right. Tell us!

I'm wondering how they enter. We should listen carefully.

Thank God. I'll share some of my experience and knowledge.

In the past, when I believed in the Lord,

I also worked and preached His word and took up the cross.

I tried to be humble, patient, and loving.

But I didn't get what the Lord demanded of me,

and I treated parts of the Lord's word as strict rules.

In the end, after years of believing in the Lord,

I still hadn't achieved any fundamental change,

and I often found myself sinning and opposing God.

In the face of trouble and hardship, I would even complain and blame God.

As I often couldn't break free from the binds of sin

and practice the Lord's word, I felt difficult and painful.

But when I finally accepted Almighty God's work of judgment in the last days,

I saw that

because our satanic nature hadn't been dealt with

and we didn't understand the truth, we often sinned and opposed God.

Just as Almighty God says,

Now I'll read another passage from Almighty God.

After seeing Almighty God's words, I understood.

Even though a temporary bout of passion and faith

can inspire people to preach the gospel work, suffer, and take up the cross,

their satanic corruption is too deep.

All kinds of satanic poisons make up man's nature,

becoming the principles by which they exist and live.

The satanic disposition of man is brazenly arrogant, and crooked,

selfish, deceitful and base.

People do all things for the sake of their own benefit.

They even believe in God to gain blessings, rewards,

and to enter the kingdom of heaven.

It is why when we encounter trials that harm our fleshly interests,

we develop notions about God,

and we blame God, oppose God, and even betray God.

This is a fact.

After being judged, chastised, dealt with, and pruned by Almighty God's word,

I began to know my own satanic nature,

and I saw the arrogance, selfishness, greed, deceit in my satanic disposition.

Everything I did was for my own sake, to benefit myself.

Even my faith in God was to gain blessings and grace.

My suffering and sacrifice

were to receive rewards and enter the kingdom of heaven.

It wasn't to practice the truth or obey God.

I saw that I had completely lost the sense and conscience inherent in man.

But the truth expressed by Almighty God helped me understand

that to live, man at least needs sense and conscience.

It's right and proper to fulfill the duty of a created being.

Whether we're blessed or have bad luck, we must be loyal to God,

and not attempt to barter with Him.

Through my experience of Almighty God's work,

I understood God's desire to save mankind.

God gives us trials and refinement to purify us and change us.

It showed me God's care in granting mankind salvation.

I saw the truth of God's love for mankind.

I made a resolution and left my family to testify God,

devoting all my time to Him.

No matter how much I suffered,

I knew I must obey God's orchestrations and arrangements,

and make no demands of Him.

I knew, whether blessed or not,

I should fulfill my duty and role to repay God's love.

I could no longer bring my personal aims and goals into my work for the Lord,

and seek crowns or entry to the kingdom of heaven.

I should sacrifice for God willingly, and not barter or demand recompense.

I should do it only to repay God's love and practice the truth to satisfy Him.

Now that's my only desire.

In my years of belief, I've definitely changed some.

I've come to understand some truth, and have some reality.

That's the most important thing I've learned from this.

I'm still a long way from God's standards.

But for me,

these have been the wonderful fruits of Almighty God's work in the last days.

Thank Almighty God for saving me.

Thank God. Your testimony is so helpful for us.

It's what I needed to hear. We need to hear testimony like this.

Right. We need to hear more of such testimony.

Hey, Sister Tian, please share as well!

Yeah, I want to hear some more!

Yeah, I want more, too.

Through my experience of Almighty God's work, I've really gained so much!

Not only gained some knowledge of God's work,

disposition, and desire to save mankind,

but also some purification and change of my satanic disposition.

I was quite an arrogant person.

I put myself above others and hated to submit to anyone.

I liked to show off, brag, and make a show of my work and lecture.

I wanted people to look up to me, admire me, and worship me.

Later, I accepted Almighty God's work of the last days,

and read this from Almighty God.

In the judgment and revelation in Almighty God's words,

I saw that the substance of my nature was arrogant and disobedient to the truth.

That in my heart I had no place at all for God.

I often was haughty and showed off.

I always wanted a place for myself in the hearts of others.

I wanted them to listen to me and obey me.

Was I not just like Satan, trying to steal people away from God?

Was I not playing archangel?

That was a grave offense to God's disposition.

It was the path of the antichrist.

I began to tremble with fear.

I saw that if my arrogant nature remained unchanged,

I could stand in God's place to testify and exalt myself.

I could do evil things, oppose God, and in the end, be punished by God.

Through my experience of Almighty God's work of judgment,

I saw there was much to love in the substance of God's life.

God is the Creator,

and became flesh twice to grant man salvation from corruption.

Humbly hidden, bearing humiliation, He came among men,

quietly granting salvation as He lived and resided with us.

I felt such guilt and such shame, too ashamed to face God.

God, who is supreme, humbled Himself and came hidden.

But I, a deeply corrupt human, lower than even a maggot,

tried to raise myself up and fight for position with God.

I had no humanity, no sense. I was shameless!

In God's harsh judgment and revelation,

I saw God's righteous and majestic disposition

which is intolerant of offense by man.

Gradually, I came to fear God in my heart.

I began to hate and curse my satanic nature.

I wanted to expose my corrupt substance, and slowly I learned to betray myself.

I exalted God, and I testified God,

and began to practice the truth by using it as a principle for action.

Without even realizing it, my arrogant disposition began to change.

I began to accept and obey the words which are in accord with the truth.

I recovered some of my conscience and humanity,

and learned to accept and to submit to other people.

I felt relaxed and free and gained some of the likeness of a real man.

I sincerely felt Almighty God's words can change and purify us.

Those are the fruits of my personal experience of Almighty God's work.

Thank God. Glory be to Almighty God!

Thanks be to God!

Your testimony has shown us Almighty God can see everything in our hearts.

He reveals all the corruption which lurks in man's spirit,

leaving man convinced,

with no choice but to return to God to know himself.

I see the selfishness and arrogance in my own nature.

I've believed in God to gain blessings and rewards.

Once I'd gained some position, done some works, and run for God,

I looked down on other people.

I wanted a place in other people's hearts.

Almighty God's words give people life.

We need to be judged and chastised by God,

because that's the only way we can know ourselves and turn to God,

repent, and make a real change.

Almighty God's words are like a sharp sword.

They expose man's opposition to God with such precision.

The judgment and purification of Almighty God's words

leave people with nothing to feel except shame!

Only by accepting the judgment in Almighty God's words

can we cast off our corruption and be truly saved!

We've believed in the Lord many years,

and all we've heard is testimony about grace and peace.

But you have shared about knowing yourselves,

casting off corruption, and entering the reality of truth.

We've seen that God's work of judgment

is deeper and more profound than the work of redemption.

It tackles our corrupt disposition,

helps us break away from the influence of Satan and gain salvation.

Right. We would never know this without hearing it from you!

Their testimony sounds far more profound than ours!

They are already in the Age of Kingdom,

while we are still stuck in the Age of Grace!

This is the first time we've heard testimony like this.

Yes, their testimony is very true! (Yes!)

Thank God.

Thank the Lord. We've gained so much from your preaching today.

It just makes so much sense. I have to go read Almighty God's word more!

Almighty God really is doing the work of the Age of Kingdom.

By accepting God's work of judgment, people directly enter the kingdom.

We're really falling behind!

We've been lost in the wilderness, right?

They've entered Canaan, while we're still wandering in the wilderness.

We have been foolish virgins! Very foolish!

Thank God!

Thanks be to God. We've had such a testimony of experience.

It's the living water that flows from God's throne and this is our provision.

It's the fruits of experiencing Christ's judgment and chastisement.

All glory be to Almighty God!

Let's read some more from Almighty God.

Okay. Everyone, let's read together. (Okay.)

Christ of the last days, Almighty God, expresses many truths.

And these truths are the word that gives man life,

the water of the river of life that flows from the throne.

Today we all come before the throne of Almighty God,

hear the voice of Almighty God and accept God's salvation.

God has indeed lifted us up and blessed us greatly.

Thank God! Amen!
