The Hymn of God's Word | "The Sorrow of Corrupt Mankind"

I

Man walked with God, through all ages and times, knows not God rules the fate of all living things, unaware of how God orchestrates all things and how He directs all things. Since time immemorial till the present day, this is something no one ever knows. It is not because God's ways are too hard to find, or His plan has yet to be realized, but man's heart and spirit are too distant from God. Therefore, while man is following God, he is playing the role of Satan's servant. He never perceives this.

II

No one takes initiative to seek out the footsteps of God or the appearance of God. No one wishes to exist and live in the care and keeping of God. But they choose the corrosion of Satan and the evil one to adapt and get used to this world and to adjust themselves to the rules of life followed by the wicked mankind. At this point, the heart and spirit of man turn to gifts man offers to Satan. Man's heart and spirit turn to food of Satan, even the place where it resides, and a playground for it.

III

In this way, man unknowingly loses his principles of how to be human. And he doesn't know anymore the worth and purpose of why he exists. God's laws and the covenant between God and man fade away gradually in man's heart. Man no longer seeks or pays heed to God, no longer seeks or pays heed to God. As time passes, man no longer understands why God created man, nor does he understand the words from God or realize all that is from God. Man begins to resist the laws of God and the decrees from God; the heart of man and the spirit of man, the heart and spirit of man become numb. … God loses the man He originally created, and man loses the root of his beginning. This is the sorrow of this mankind. This is the sorrow of this mankind. Woo … woo … woo … woo … This is the sorrow of this mankind, sorrow of this mankind.

Gossip Is a “Fearful” Thing

Whenever I remember that in those gloomy days, I was fooled and deceived by satan and therefore dared not accept God’s new work, I even more loathe and abhor satan and all the schemes it employed.

At that time, my wife and I were both key co-workers of the Praise Church. In the meetings, we often heard our leader say, “People of ‘the Eastern Lightning’ are extremely vicious and full of wiles. They have a connection with the underworld. Once they fasten on you, if you don’t accept, they will harm you in secret. Several people will follow you secretly, suddenly bring you to the ground, and then break your legs with steel bars and run away. In other places there are many people whose ears have been cut off or eyes have been gouged out by them. Or they will buy you off with money, giving you eight or ten thousand yuan. Or they will give you whatever you lack. What’s more infuriating is that they are promiscuous, licentious and corrupt….” These appalling words scared us so much that we dared not go out, both feeling fear and detestation of “the Eastern Lightning.” During that period, I also served as satan’s accomplice as others did. However, I, who was guilty of the most heinous sin, received the Almighty God’s salvation and got the invaluable word that God brought to mankind in the end time—The Word Appears in the Flesh. At the same time, I saw the joy and happiness of the brothers and sisters who lived in the light. How enviable! Under the care of God’s love, they were full of cheers and laughter, without barrier or fleshly entanglement. They were leading a life on earth as if in heaven. For the sake of their common goal, they strived to the utmost with their hearts linked and their hands joined, they feared no hardship or tiredness, and they bore misunderstandings and humiliations, never losing heart or getting disappointed. Here, I saw that the group of people led by the Almighty God were like the good soldiers of the kingdom. Although they had manifestations of corruptions, they could mutually know themselves. So, all the rumors that we had heard before collapsed by themselves before the facts. What’s more, it is stipulated explicitly in Article 4 of God’s administrative decrees: “Man has corrupt nature and even more has emotions. So, in serving in coordination, all are forbidden to coordinate with the opposite sex alone. If they are discovered to do so, they shall be expelled, no matter who they are.” As to cutting off people’s noses or ears or gouging out people’s eyes, it was even more a sheer fabrication out of nothing. Then I understood that those rumors were the “masterpieces” of some people with ulterior motives (satan’s schemes). Their intention was to wreck God’s work and blind people’s eyes. They attempted to possess the brothers and sisters for their own enjoyment and forever deprive them of the opportunity to accept the true way. Thinking of these, I could not help shivering all over. What a close thing! I had almost been ruined at their hands! Thus I thanked God even more for his tremendously great salvation. However, satan vainly tried to war against God to the end. It continued its deathbed struggle, using vile means on us and still playing dirty tricks to attack us. Yet little did it know that God’s wisdom is based on its schemes.

How to Search for God's Footprints

I

Since we are searching for the footprints of God, we must search, search for God's will, search for God's words and the utterances of God, search for God's words and the utterances of God. For where there are the new words of God, there is the voice of God, the voice of God; where there are the footsteps of God, there are God's deeds, there are God's deeds. Where there is the expression of God, there is the appearance, appearance of God, and where there is the appearance of God, there is the truth, the way, and the life.

II

While seeking God's footprints, you all ignored the words that "God is the truth, the way, and the life." So when many people receive the truth, they do not believe they have found God's footprints and even less acknowledge the appearance of God. What a serious fault! What a serious fault! God's appearance cannot be accordant with man's notions, much less can God appear at man's request. When He does His work, He makes His own choices, makes His own choices, has His own plans. Moreover, He has His own targets, and His own methods, His own methods. When He does His work, He does not need to discuss His work with man, seeking man's advice, much less notify everyone. This is God's disposition, this should be realized by every one.
