Almighty God's Word "Are You a True Believer of God?" | The Church of Almighty God
Almighty God says, "I have held man to a very strict standard all along.
If your loyalty comes with intentions and conditions, then I would
rather not have any of your so-called loyalty, for I abhor those who
deceive Me through their intentions and extort Me with conditions. I
only wish for man to be loyal to none other than Me, and to do all
things for the sake of and to prove that one word: faith. I despise
your use of sweetened words to make Me rejoice. For I always treat
you with complete sincerity and so I wish for you to also act toward
Me with a true faith.
A Battle of Life and Death | The Church of Almighty God
Chang Moyang Zhengzhou City, Henan Province
“When you forsake the flesh, inevitably there will be a battle inside. Satan wants you to follow the notions of the flesh, to protect the interests of the flesh. However, God’s word still enlightens and illuminates you within, moves you from within and works from the inside. At this point, it is up to you whom you will follow. Every time truth is practiced and every time people practice loving God, there is an enormous battle. So every time you practice the truth, deep inside there is a battle of life and death. Victory will only be determined after fierce fighting and intense inner struggle, with so many tears of sadness shed behind that…” (“Every Time You Forsake the Flesh There Is a Battle of Life and Death” in Follow the Lamb and Sing New Songs).
Every time I used to hear God’s words in this song, I would ponder the following: Is practicing the truth really that difficult? When people don’t understand the truth, they cannot practice it. Once they have understood it, wouldn’t acting according to God’s will be enough? Could it really be as serious as “deep inside there is a battle of life and death”? It wasn’t until later, through my actual experience, that I had a taste that practicing the truth truly is not easy. What God said is entirely in line with the truth; it is not even a little exaggerated.
