God’s Blessings: I May Not Be Rich, but I’m Very Fortunate
I Hear God Calling
One day in June, 2016, Pastor Jess and his wife came to see us. They said that the Lord Jesus had already returned, and that He was performing a new stage of work. They said that Jesus had performed the work of redemption in the Age of Grace and that, although our sins had been absolved by the Lord, because we had been corrupted so deeply by Satan, our sinful and satanic nature remained rooted within us. Under the domination of our sinful nature, they said, we were often able to commit sins and resist God, and we were bound and constrained by sin. In light of our needs as corrupt mankind, in the last days God had once again become flesh to perform a stage of work of judging and cleansing man with words, and this stage of work was being performed upon the foundation of the work of redemption. God had come to save us completely from the bonds of sin, and this was entirely the fulfillment of the biblical prophecy “Judgment must begin at the house of God” (1 Peter 4:17).
Hearing Pastor Jess’ fellowship, my heart felt very moved. I thought of how, despite having believed in the Lord for many years, I had never cast off the bonds of sin, but was still following social trends and pursuing a life of material luxuries…. Every once in a while, I would feel indebted to the Lord, but I just couldn’t control myself—I really did have sin rooted within me! The more I listened, the more I felt that Pastor Jess’ fellowship came from God, and so I decided to listen to him in earnest. Pastor Jess later testified to me of the work of the returned Lord Jesus—Almighty God—and he gave us fellowship on aspects of the truth such as the three stages of God’s work to save mankind, the mystery of the incarnation, how God performs His work of judgment in the last days to cleanse and change man and how God determines mankind’s end destination. I became certain that Almighty God is the returned Lord Jesus, and my wife and I gladly accepted Almighty God's Work of the last days.
Just after I’d accepted God’s work of the last days, I enthusiastically attended gatherings, I would read God’s words whenever I had time, I felt very close to God and the condition of my spirit got better and better. But after a while, seeing that my family needed money for so many things, I thought I must start making money urgently. It wouldn’t do to not have any money, so I started to work hard once again. Sometimes, work clashed with my church gatherings and I would choose to earn money instead, and so I attended gatherings only irregularly. My wife and my brothers and sisters in the church gave me fellowship many times, saying that the work of the last days was God’s final stage of work to save mankind. We had to focus on pursuing the truth, they said, physical pleasures were empty, that it was enough to have food and clothing, and that it was fine to work just normal hours. They enjoined me not to pursue wealth and material pleasures so much that I wouldn’t even have time to attend gatherings, for then I would be likely to lose my chance to gain the truth. But my heart was already occupied by money and I simply paid no attention to what my brothers and sisters said; I kept on working hard to earn money.
Testimony of a Christian: How She Overcame the Temptation to Have an Affair (Audio Essay, Part 1)
This question made Jingru’s heart surge again, and she didn’t know what to say. She just silently prayed to God in her heart: “O God! Please protect my heart and keep me from doing anything that would offend Your disposition.” After she’d prayed, she thought of these words of God which say: “Their words nourish your heart and captivate you so that you become disoriented and without realizing it, you are sucked in and willing to be of service to them, be their outlet as well as their servant. You have no complaints at all but are willing to be at their disposal—you are deceived by them” (“Your Character Is So Lowly!”). God’s words once again awakened Jingru, and she knew that the surging in her heart was because she was falling under the control of evil lusts; this was Satan putting its cunning scheme into action to seduce her, to make her live in sin and lose the testimony of a Christian, and to make her sink into physical lust and become more and more degenerate and corrupt. Therefore, she knew that she must have discernment, and must see through Satan’s cunning scheme. Wang Wei was already married—that was a fact—and Jingru knew that she could not be deceived into losing her reason because of some passing sweet words. If she really did take a wrong step and say some wrong things, then she would become Satan’s fool, she would be serving as Satan’s outlet and she would become the disgraceful other woman; the outcome would be a broken family, endless pain for Wang Wei’s wife and children, and she herself would be irreparably stained before God—the consequences were unthinkable.

Christian testimonies |The “Rural” Mom Meets the “Urban” Daughter-in-Law
I am a typical housewife, a good wife and a loving mother, I take good care of my husband and children, I’m hardworking and thrifty in running my household, and I’ve never recklessly spent my money. But something unimaginable happened to me. My son married a fashionable girl who really loved to have fun and dress up and follow the trends of the world. She pursued and purchased whatever was popular in the world, she threw away money by the handful, and however much she made each month was however much she spent. Since there was such a huge difference in our ways of thinking and living, my daughter-in-law and I often would be at loggerheads, we got into angry arguments, and our problems continued to get more and more intense.

The Power of Faith in God | Christian Video | "Seventeen? The Hell You Are!" (English Dubbed Movie)
www.holyspiritspeaks.org/videos/seventeen-the-hell-you-are/
"Kid! Do you know that the Communist Party is atheist and against belief in God? In China, what God is there for you to believe in? Where is this God of yours?" "Do not assume that because you are young, we will be lenient with you! If you keep believing in God, you will end up dead!" With electric rods in hands, the Chinese Communist police rush this youngster who is covered with bruises.
This youngster's name is Gao Liang and he was 17 years old that year. He was on his way home from spreading the gospelwith an older brother when he was arrested by the Chinese Communist police. The police did not give him anything to eat nor allowed him to sleep for three days and three nights. They interrogated him, tried to extort a confession from him and subjected him to cruel torture. They even used electric rods to shock him on his chin, both his hands and his lower area. They tried to force him to betray God and give them information regarding the church leaders and the financial resources of the church through blackmailing him. This involved threatening to arrest his parents and to get his school to expel him. Unable to achieve its objectives, the Chinese Communist government sentenced him to one year of reeducation through labor. While in prison, not only did Gao Liang endure excessive labor requirements, he was also humiliated and tormented. In the prison, Gao Liang experienced what can only be called hell on earth. During this painful refinement, Gao Liang prayed to God and relied on God. Almighty God's words enlightened him to understand God's intentions. It gave him faith and strength and it guided him so that he could get through the one year he was in prison. The Chinese Communist government's persecution and arrest are engraved in Gao Liang's heart. He sees clearly and deeply experienced the evil essence of the Chinese Communist government and its antagonism toward God. In this world where Satan's powers hold sway, only God loves man the most. Only God can save man. His faith and will to follow God became even more resolute. Gao Liang says that these trials and tribulations are valuable treasures for his life growth and development. It was a special present that God gave him for his 17th year …

Question 1: The Lord’s promise is that He will come again to take us into the kingdom of heaven, and yet you testify that the Lord has already been incarnated to do the work of judgment in the last days. The Bible clearly prophesies that the Lord will descend with power and great glory on clouds. This is quite different from what you’ve testified, that the Lord has already been incarnated and secretly descended among men.

Another shot from the Roe Valley Country Park in Co. Londonderry.
We spotted this huge grey heron standing at the bottom of the weir... It amazed me that it could stand against the flow of the water without a movement at all which would have been pretty noticeable as I was using my Sigma 150-500mm lens handheld (as always LOL).
Anyway, I thought of God's promise to those of us who trust Him, that He would be our Strong Hold no matter what we face.... and on that note, an update from the hospital, my Dad is stable and they are keeping him comfortable. I would like to thank you for praying and for the thoughtful messages and comments :)
I wish you all a very blessed and peaceful Sunday... The weather today is beautiful and hopefully I will get a chance to take the camera somewhere later :)

Christian Testimonies | depending on God | Power of Prayer — My Daughter at Death’s Door: I Witness a Miracle by Praying to God (Audio Essay)
By Wang Lin, China
It was gone 11 a.m. on the morning of October 8, 2011 and I was just preparing lunch at home, when suddenly the phone rang. As soon as I answered it, the person calling said anxiously, “Your Lanlan has been in a car accident and they’re trying to save her at the county hospital. You’d best get here as soon as you can!” Hearing this, I felt a loud buzzing in my head, and before I’d said anything, the other person hung up. After I’d put the phone down, I just stood there for a while, thinking: “My daughter went out on her bicycle this morning to run some errands. How could she have been in a car accident? It’s just a prank call, isn’t it? But their tone didn’t sound like they were trying to trick me….” I didn’t have time to think any more, so I stopped what I was doing and left the house. I hurriedly waved down a cab and rushed to the county hospital. I was so worried as I sat in the cab that I clenched my fists tightly together, and I just kept looking out the window. I felt totally confused and upset and I couldn’t stop thinking: “How badly hurt is my daughter? Where has she been hurt? Is her life in danger? She’s only 17. She must be really scared being in the hospital on her own….” The more I thought about it, the more panicky I got, and I couldn’t calm down. I wanted to be there instantly by my daughter’s side to see what exactly the situation was. In my helplessness, I thought of God, and then quickly I called on God in my heart: “O God! I hear that my daughter has been in a car accident. My heart is in turmoil and I’m really worried, and I don’t know how my daughter is right now or how bad her injuries are. O God! I ask that You protect my heart so that I may keep calm before You. However serious my daughter’s injuries are, give me the courage to face it all.” After praying, I…… (Please click the title to read the entire article! 😊 )

Christian Song ""God's Will for Mankind Will Never Change" | The Love of God Is Unchanging
I
God's been in this world for many years, but who knows Him? No wonder God chastises people. Seems God uses them as objects of His authority. Seems they're bullets in His gun, and once He's fired it, they'll all escape one by one. But this is not what is real, it's their imagination. God loves people like His treasure, since they're the "capital" of His management. He will not eliminate them. He won't change His will towards them. He won't change His will towards them.
II
God has always respected humans. He hasn't once exploited or traded them like slaves. For He and man can't part. Thus a life and death bond is formed. Between man and God, God loves, cherishes humans. Though this isn't mutual, God still spends efforts on them, as to God they still look up. God loves people like His treasure, since they're the "capital" of His management. He will not eliminate them. He won't change His will towards them. He won't change His will towards them. He won't change His will towards them. He won't change His will towards them.
III
Can they truly trust God's oath? How can they satisfy God? This is the task for all man, the "homework" God left for all. It is God's hope that they will all work hard to complete it.

She is Xiao Li, a Christian who has believed in God for over a decade. In the winter of 2012, she got arrested by the CCP police in a congregation. During her interrogation, the police resorted to both soft and hard tactics, threatening, coaxing, beating, and torturing, and made repeated attempts to get out of her the whereabouts of her church's leaders and money and coax her into betraying God. In particular, the police forcibly stripped off her clothes on a 20-degree-below-zero night, then froze her with icy water, jabbed her in her private parts with an electric baton, and poured mustard water into her mouth…. She suffered all kinds of inhuman tortures and varied humiliations. In the interrogation, she felt agonized, humiliated, and desperate, but she prayed to God earnestly time after time. With the well-timed enlightenment and guidance of God's word, she gained faith and strength from God's word and withstood the devils' savage and cruel tortures and bore a beautiful and resounding testimony, showing strong vitality in times of hardship, like the plum blossom that bloomed proudly in the winter giving off sweet scents….

This documentary film depicts the sudden and unexpected death of a Chinese Christian named Song Xiaolan—a death for which the CCP police provided inconsistent and conflicting explanations. After investigating, the Song family discovered that the police had been lying all along. A relative of the Song family learned from an acquaintance in the Public Security Bureau that Song Xiaolan had been being secretly monitored by the CCP police as a result of her belief in God and performance of her duties. When the police arrested her, they beat her to death. To avoid blame, the police covered up the truth by fabricating the scene of Song Xiaolan’s death….

Since it came to power in mainland China in 1949, the Chinese Communist Party has been unceasing in its persecution of religious faith. It has frantically arrested and murdered Christians, expelled and abused missionaries operating in China, confiscated and burned countless copies of the Bible, sealed up and demolished church buildings, and tried to eradicate all house churches. A great number of Christians in house churches have been arrested and persecuted.
This documentary describes the real experience of a Chinese Christian, Yang Huizhi who was arrested by the CCP government, tortured, and died from her mistreatment because of her belief in God.
After Yang Huizhi died, the CCP government falsely claimed that her death had been the result of a heart attack. Her family wanted to seek justice for her, but were ultimately scared into keeping quiet because of the CCP’s threats.
This exquisitely-shot documentary attempts to recreate what really happened at the time, and provides a profound reflection of the flagrant encroachment of the religious beliefs and human rights of Chinese Christians. It is a window to understanding the true lives of Chinese Christians and Christian families, as well as a reflection—rarely seen in recent years—of the experiences and emotions of Chinese Christians who have been persecuted as a result of their faith.

Catholic Readings and Reflections: Are Members of the Clergy Appointed by God? | www.holyspiritspeaks.org/gospel/catholic-readings-and-ref... | Christian Testimonies
Editor’s Note: Many Catholics believe that members of the clergy are appointed directly by God. They think that by submitting to their priests, they are, in effect, submitting to God. Ah-dong had also espoused this belief, but after a period of investigation and seeking he came to understand the principles guiding how God uses and appoints people. After he had reached this new understanding, his old views on the matter changed and he welcomed the Lord’s return. Want to know how he became reunited with the Lord?

In 2017, from June 24 to 28, and from September 14 to 15, the Chinese Communist Party had held two international anti-cult academic conferences successively in Henan and Hong Kong. In a subsequent Chinese official report, it reads, “Experts express that from this research study, sufficient understanding has been gained on China’s religious and anti-cult policies, dispelling previous misunderstanding about the issues of cults in China. At the same time, the conditions of religious belief in China are observed to be favorable. The grassroots’ freedom of belief is well protected.” Prof. Massimo Introvigne, an Italian sociologist, the founder and managing director of the Center for Studies on New Religions (CESNUR), who was invited to both conferences, debunks the report as follows.
Li Qingxin was a preacher at a house church in China. Having believed in the Lord for many years, she always enthusiastically preached and worked for the Lord, watching and waiting for the Lord's coming and being raptured into the kingdom of heaven. In recent years, Li Qingxin saw all the denominations and sects are getting more and more desolate, while the Eastern Lightning continues to thrive and grow even under the frantic condemnation and persecution of the CCP government and the religious world. A growing number of good sheep and leading sheep from all sects and denominations have accepted the Eastern Lightning, which led her to self-reflect. Seeing the pastors and elders have not hesitated in making up rumors, condemning and discrediting the Church of Almighty God, and even colluding with the CCP government to arrest those who preach the Eastern Lightning, she felt what they did had deviated from the Lord's way, and realized that the one the CCP government and the religious world fanatically resist and condemn might actually be the true way and the appearance and work of the Lord. Hence, she, with several co-workers, decided to seek and investigate the Eastern Lightning. However, the pastors and elders did everything they could to prevent them from studying the true way. Through reading the words of Almighty God, listening to the fellowships from the preachers of the Church of Almighty God, they got discernment of the rumors and fallacies of the pastors and elders, saw through their vile motivations and malicious trickery of preventing believers from investigating the true way, and saw clearly the hypocritical true face of pastors and elders. Finally, Li Qingxin and others spoke out loudly to the religious pastors and elders that "Stay out of my business," and completely broke free from their constraints and bondage, and returned before God's throne.
