How to Know God Incarnate | Christian Song | "Only by Working in the Flesh Can God Gain Mankind"
Only by Working in the Flesh Can God Gain Mankind Through the practical God’s word, man’s weaknesses and rebellions are judged and revealed. Then man receives what they need. They see that God has come into this human world. The work of the practical God intends to save everyone from Satan’s influence, rescue them from filth, from their disposition corrupted by Satan.

Follow the practical God, live a normal humanity, keep His words and demands, fully keep what He says, and achieve what He asks, then you will be gained by God.
Almighty God's Word "Those Incompatible With Christ Are Surely Opponents of God"
Almighty God says, "You always wish to see Christ, but I exhort you not to exalt yourselves so; everyone may see Christ, but I say none are fit to see Christ. Because the nature of man is filled with evil, arrogance, and rebellion, when you see Christ, your nature will ruin you and condemn you to death. Your association with a brother (or a sister) may not show much about you, but it is not so simple when you associate with Christ. At any time, your conceptions may take root, your arrogance bud, and your rebellion bear figs.
On November 28, 2017, in response to concurrent public attacks and smears against The Church of Almighty God in Hong Kong, Taiwan, and South Korea, South Korean human rights expert Do Heeyoun and eight other non-governmental organizations jointly condemned the Chinese Communist government for its many years of brutal persecution against The Church of Almighty God, and expressed the view that the asylum applications of Christians of The Church of Almighty God should be recognized by their respective host nations.
On December 14, 2017, a news conference with the theme of Religious Freedom Violations in China—A Case Study of Persecution Against ChristianMinorities was jointly held by the Center for Studies on New Religions (CESNUR) and the Center for Studies on Freedom of Religion, Belief and Conscience (LIREC) in the Italian Chamber of Deputies in Rome. The meeting focused on the appeal being made on the issues of rejected refugee applications and impending repatriation of a majority of The Church of Almighty God's Christians that had fled to Europe.
Liyan is one of the leaders of the Church of Almighty God. One time, on her way to a meeting, she was captured by the Chinese Communist Party's police and endured extremely brutal torture. When it was discovered that she was pregnant, the police utilized despicable methods to secretively administer medicine without Liyan's knowledge so that she would have a miscarriage.
O God! Your words have led me back to You. I accept training in Your kingdom day and night. So many trials and pains, so many tribulations. Many times I shed tears and felt heart-stricken, and many times have fallen into the trap of Satan. But You have never departed from me. You led me through many hardships, You kept me through many dangers. Now I know that You have loved me.
Lee Chungmin was an elder at a church in Seoul, South Korea. For more than twenty years, he enthusiastically served the Lord, fully concentrated on studying the Bible. Following the example of his religious leaders, he thought that believing in the Lord meant believing in the Bible, and that having faith in the Bible was exactly the same as having faith in the Lord. He believed that so long as he adhered to the Bible, he would be raptured into the kingdom of heaven. These conceptions constrained him like a pair of shackles, restraining him from following God's footsteps and believing in God. As a result, Lee Chungmin never thought to look into Almighty God's work of the last days …
One day, by complete chance, he watched some hymnal videos on the Church of Almighty God's website. Their stirring lyrics and elegant melodies deeply moved him, inspiring him to look into Almighty God's work of the last days. After undergoing a few debates about the truth, he came to understand the inside story of the Bible through Almighty God's words. He came to understand the true facts of the situation clearly: The Pharisees of the religious world oppose and condemn God's appearance and work under the guise of elevating the Bible. Eventually, he cast aside the controls and restraints of the religious Pharisees and caught up with God's footprints …
Recommendation：About Eastern Lightning
God's Word "The True Story Behind Work in the Age of Redemption"
Almighty God says, "Jesus represents all the work of the Age of Grace; He was incarnated and crucified, and inaugurated the Age of Grace. He was crucified in order to complete the redemptive work, to end the Age of Law and begin the Age of Grace … The work of Jesus represents only the Age of Grace; it does not represent the Age of Law and is no substitute for the work of the last days. This is the essence of Jesus’ work in the Age of Grace, the second age of mankind—the Age of Redemption."
Jiang Xinyi is a regional leader of the Church of Almighty God in a particular area in China. She loves the truth and has a sense of righteousness. She has received Almighty God's work of the last days for more than ten years. She understands that only Christ is the truth, the way and the life and that only Christ of the last days, Almighty God can save mankind, free them from sin and guide them onto the right path of human life. As a result, she follows God steadfastly, spreads the gospel and bears witness to God. However, the Chinese Communist government persistently captures and persecutes Christians.
On November 20–21, 2017, in just two days, seventeen reports attacking The Church of Almighty God (CAG) were published intensively on Ta Kung Pao and Wen Wei Po, the mouthpiece media of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) in Hong Kong (HK), citing the rumors and fallacies consistently fabricated by the CCP to discredit and condemn the CAG. The reports also described at length the development of the CAG in South Korea. They claimed that the CAG had been condemned as a “cult” in Korea, and that the Korean government should not grant refugee status to Christians of the CAG. Prof. Massimo Introvigne, an Italian sociologist, the founder and managing director of the Center for Studies on New Religions (CESNUR), makes comment on this.
You Should Seek the Way of Compatibility With Christ
Almighty God says, "I have done much work among man, and the words I have expressed during this time have been many. These words are for the sake of man’s salvation, and were expressed so that man might become compatible with Me. Yet I have gained only a few people on earth who are compatible with Me, and so I say that man does not treasure My words, for man is not compatible with Me. In this way, the work I do is not merely so that man can worship Me; more importantly, it is so that man can be compatible with Me."
Recommendation：Eastern Lightning, The Church of Almighty Godwas created because of the appearance and work of Almighty God, the second coming of theLord 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.
It is recorded in the Bible that the Lord Jesus condemned the Pharisees the Pharisees to seven woes. Nowadays, the path walked by the pastors and elders of the religious world is that of the Pharisees and they similarly suffer God's detestation and rejection. So why did the Lord Jesus condemn and curse the Pharisees? It was primarily because they had a hypocritical essence that defied God, because they only paid attention to performing religious rituals and keeping rules, they only explained the rules and doctrines in the Bible and did not put God's words into practice or follow God's commandments whatsoever, and they even discarded God's commandments. Everything they did completely ran counter to God's will and requirements. This was the hypocritical essence of the Pharisees and it was the primary reason for the Lord Jesus hating and cursing them.
The Persecution and Tribulation Made Me Love God More
Liu Zhen Shandong Province
I’m Liu Zhen, aged 78 this year. I’m an ordinary Christian in the Church of Almighty God. Thank Almighty God for choosing me, a rural old woman looked down upon by the worldly people. Since I accepted the end-time work of Almighty God, I prayed and listened to the recital of God’s word every day and had meetings with the brothers and sisters. I felt very happy in my heart and lived in the happiness I had never had. As I was old and my legs were stiff, I couldn’t go out to have meetings. So the brothers and sisters came to my house to have meetings for my sake. Whether it was cold winter or hot summer, they never missed the meeting.
Almighty Godsays, "...we are searching for the footprints of God. We are not seeking spiritual figures, much less are we following famous figures; we are following the footprints of God. As such, since we are searching for the footprints of God, we must search for God’s will, for the words of God, for the utterances of God—for wherever there are the new words of God, so there is the voice of God, and wherever there are the footsteps of God, so there are the deeds of God. Wherever there is the expression of God, so there is the appearance of God, and wherever there is the appearance of God, there exists the truth, the way, and the life. While seeking the footprints of God, you ignored the word that 'God is the truth, the way, and the life.'"
Lifting the Veil: The Truth About the Evil Chinese Communist Party’s Show Trial
On August 21, 2014, the public trial for the May 28 Zhaoyuan Murder Case was held in Yantai, Shandong. In an article published on the Internet about the case, “Zhaoyuan Murder Case Defendants Confess in Court: I am God,” news.qq.com presented a relatively objective, thorough, and detailed report of the defendants’ confessions. But in the CCTV News 1+1 report titled “Almighty God, How Is He ‘God’?”, they passed off fraudulent information as real information, insisting that the psychotic perpetrators from the Zhaoyuan Murder Case were members of the Church of Almighty God. Using this false information, the CCP fabricated a public scandal to justify their thorough suppression of the Church of Almighty God and other underground churches, while also diverting the people’s hatred toward the Church of Almighty God and away from their crisis of faith in the CCP.
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….
