Gospel Movie "Break Through the Snare" - Why the Chinese Communist Party Persecutes The Church of Almighty God

Gospel Movie "Break Through the Snare" - Why the Chinese Communist Party Persecutes The Church of Almighty God

The Chinese Communist Party is a satanic regime that truly hates the truth and God. It knows that Almighty God is the only entity in the world that can express the truth. Almighty God is in the process of doing the salvation work of the last days. If the word of Almighty God is spread amongst the people, all those who love the truth will return to Almighty God. The devilish face of the Chinese Communist Party, its true face, which hates the truth and resists God will be exposed. Then the entire human race will forsake the Chinese Communist Party. It will no longer have a foothold in China. It will also no longer be able to corrupt and trap the world's citizens. This is why the Chinese Communist Party hates Almighty God and frantically persecutes The Church of Almighty God.

"It's Wonderful to Cast off the Shackles of Status"

After Liang Zhi believed in God, he consistently sought with enthusiasm, and threw himself into fulfilling his duties. After a number of years, he was elected as a church leader. During the time that he performed his duties as a church leader, he realized that some of the brothers and sisters were more competent than he, which made him unhappy to the extent that he was jealous of them. In order to save face and protect his status, he secretly competed with them to see who was better, and he scrambled for fame and status. Fame and status seemed like invisible shackles binding him tightly, tying him down, leading him to do things in violation of the truth and rebelling against God. Because the carrying out of his duties was only for the sake of fame and status, and not in pursuit of the truth, the result was that he lost the work of the Holy Spirit.

Relevant Words of God:

The first incarnation was to redeem man from sin through the flesh of Jesus, that is, He saved man from the cross, but the corrupt satanic disposition still remained within man. The second incarnation is no longer to serve as a sin offering but to fully save those who were redeemed from sin.

Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me: or else believe me for the very works’ sake” (Jhn 14:9-11).

Ever since 2007, when I accepted Almighty God’s work of the last days, although I have appeared on the surface to be very busy fulfilling my duties, I have not given my heart to God, and have often felt bound to the point of suffocation by trifling family issues. Every time I think about the fact that my daughter is already thirty years old, yet still hasn’t found a suitable partner, I complain to God; my son only cares about having a good time, and despite not earning any money, he spends profligately, so I complain; and my own old spouse goes to work, but his foreman doesn’t pay him—and I complain about this as well…. I complain left and right, and often misunderstand God. It seems as though God has been overly unfair to me. As a result, I have been living in darkness and suffering. However, I have not known that I should seek God, and have been profoundly ignorant of how dangerous my state is. I have merely struggled helplessly amidst my suffering. Nevertheless, God knows my state inside out. He uses unique methods to call out to me and save me, causing me to awaken from dream and escape Satan’s harm and affliction.

“And the LORD came down on mount Sinai, on the top of the mount: and the LORD called Moses up to the top of the mount; and Moses went up. And the LORD said to Moses, Go down, charge the people, lest they break through to the LORD to gaze, and many of them perish” (Exo 19:20-21).

God's Word "How Can Man Who Has Defined God in His Conceptions Receive the Revelations of God?"

God's Word "How Can Man Who Has Defined God in His Conceptions Receive the Revelations of God?"

Almighty God says, "God does not continue the same work. His work changes continuously, and he always does new works. For example, every day I speak new words to you and do new works on you. This is the work I do, which is mainly characterized by being 'new' and 'peculiar.' The word, 'God is ever unchanging, and God is God after all,' is absolutely true. God’s essence does not change, God is God after all, and he cannot become satan. But these do not prove that his work is ever unchanging as his essence is. If you say that God is ever unchanging, then how do you explain God’s being ever new and never old? God’s work spreads continuously and changes continuously, and God’s will is revealed and made known to people continuously."

Know more: Eastern Lightning, The Church of Almighty God was created because of the appearance and work of Almighty God, the second coming of the Lord 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.

I was born in a poor, remote mountain area where we have burned incense and worshiped Buddha for many generations. There are Buddhist temples all over the land where all the families would go to burn incense; no one had ever believed in God. In 1995, my wife and I were in another part of the country where we believed in the Lord Jesus; after we returned we began sharing the gospel and the number of people who accepted it slowly grew to over 100 people.

I am by nature an honest person, which is why I have always been bullied by other people. As a result, I have tasted the coldness of the world of man and felt my life empty and without meaning. After I started believing in Almighty God, through the reading of God’s words and living the church life, I enjoyed an earnestness and joy in my heart I had never felt before. Seeing the brothers and sisters of the Church of Almighty God love each other like a family made me realize that only God is righteous, and that only in the Church of Almighty God is there light.

God hopes more people will study carefully

when faced with God’s words and His work,

approaching these important words with a godly heart.

Do not follow footsteps of those who are punished.

Do not be like Paul, who clearly knew the true way

but defied on purpose, lost the sin offering.

Accept His new work, receive the truth He gives.

Then you can gain the salvation of God!

I was born in the 1980s in a village—we had been a family of farmers for generations. I threw myself into my studies so that I could test into college and escape the village life of poverty and backwardness. When I started high school, I encountered The History of Western Art, and when I saw so many beautiful paintings such as “Genesis,” “The Garden of Eden,” and “The Last Supper,” only then did I realize that there was a God in the universe who had created all things.

Changkai    Benxi City, Liaoning Province

The common phrase “All lay loads on the willing horse” is one with which I am all too personally familiar. My husband and I were all particularly guileless people: When it came to matters that involved our own personal benefit or loss, we weren’t the type to haggle and fuss with others. Where we could be forbearing we were forbearing, where we could be accommodating we also did our best to be accommodating. As a result, we often found ourselves cheated and abused by others. It really seemed that in life, “All lay loads on the willing horse”—if you have too much kindness in your heart, if you’re too accommodating and modest in your affairs, you’re very liable to be cheated. With these thoughts in mind, I resolved to not subject myself to all this abuse and live in frustration anymore: In future matters and in dealings with others, I vow not to be too accommodating. Even after I accepted Almighty God’s work, I still applied this principle in conducting my behavior and interactions with others.

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.

Being gained by God means to follow His example as man’s perfect model.

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.

"Are You a True Believer of 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. When it comes to faith, many may think that they follow God because they have faith, otherwise they would not bear such suffering. Then I ask you this: Why is it that you never revere God though you believe in His existence? Why, then, do you have no fear of God in your heart if you believe in His existence? You accept that Christ is the incarnation of God, so why do you hold such contempt and act so irreverently toward Him? Why do you openly judge Him? Why do you always watch His movements?

Before I believed in God, no matter what I was doing, I never wanted to fall behind. I was willing to accept any hardship as long as it meant I could rise above everyone else. After I accepted God, my attitude remained the same, because I firmly believed in the saying, “No pain, no gain,” and saw my attitude as proof of my motivation. When God revealed the truth to me, I finally realized I had been living under Satan’s yoke, living under its domain.

I always believed that my husband and I passed our lives “with our faces to the soil and our backs to the sun” because we didn’t study enough when we were young, and because we had no knowledge. That’s why I decided that no matter how hard or how much I had to suffer, I would send my sons and daughters to school so that they could accomplish something, and wouldn’t have to follow in our footsteps. With that guiding us, my husband and I ate and dressed simply and squeezed every penny to send our oldest daughter to technical school and our oldest son to university.

 "God's Name Will Be Magnified Among the Gentile Nations"

I

The purpose of God’s judgment is to encourage man’s obedience;

the purpose of God’s chastisement is to allow for man’s transformation.

Though God’s work is for His management’s sake,

none of what He does isn’t good to man.

God wants the lands beyond Israel to obey as the Israelites did,

to make them into real men, so that in the lands beyond Israel

God’s foothold shall be gained. This is the management of God.

It’s His work in the lands of the Gentiles.
