Spiritual battle+Trend of God’s work

Part 1. Spiritual Battle

Brothers and sisters~~We are gonna be having a very important truth to share today. But before we get started,
I’d like to ask you something.

😇 😇😇
Since the Lord has returned, He is Almighty God, more and more of God’s sheep come before Him one by
another. This is the result produced by His new word in the last days
BUT!! In the course of believing in Almighty God, do you run into some disturbance like
b. very busy with work or family matters, such that you don’t have time to learn God’s new words ;
c. very tired and sleepy when we read God's word or join the fellowship;
d. we would like to focus on the fellowship, but the message comes up, or our friends call us;
e. some disturbance from family or people around trying to stop us from seeking the new work of Almighty God

🤔 What’s going on with

🤔
You probably might have any of these experiences, right? Maybe you might find it weird
us ？
We would fellowship about this!!!!

📖
🔥🔥
First let us read a passage from Almighty God .
Almighty God says,
*“God works, God cares for a person, looks upon a person, and Satan dogs His every step. Whoever God favors,
Satan also watches, trailing along behind. If God wants this person, Satan would do everything in its power to
obstruct God, using various evil ways to tempt, harass and wreck the work God does in order to achieve its hidden
objective. … Satan is at war with God, trailing along behind Him. Its objective is to demolish all the work God
wants to do, to occupy and control those whom God wants, to completely extinguish those whom God wants. If
they are not extinguished, then they come to Satan’s possession to be used by it—this is its objective.”*
🔥🔥*“In every step of work that God does within people, externally it appears to be interactions between
people, as if born of human arrangements or from human interference. But behind the scenes, every step of
work, and everything that happens, is a wager made by Satan before God, and requires people to stand firm in
their testimony to God. Take when Job was tried, for example: Behind the scenes, Satan was making a bet with
God, and what happened to Job was the deeds of men and the interference of men. Behind every step of work that
God does in you is Satan’s wager with God—behind it all is a battle.”*

Sharing.

AMEN!! Now we may know that accepting God’s new work and gaining this final salvation isn’t easy as well,

😰
when God is saving us and bringing His new work and words to man in the end time, Satan is doing its utmost to
disturb us with all kinds of manners at the same time

😭In the last days, the spiritual battle is intense. Satan doesn’t want us to receive God’s salvation, so it tries to
use all manner of people, events and things to disrupt our normal relationship with God.

😰😰
From the outside, we’re busy with work or study, but in fact in the spiritual world, Satan is using this to disturb
you so that you will have no time to attend meetings and pursue the truth. Slowly, you will get further and

😣😣😣
further away from God, lose God’s care and protection and eventually be captured by Satan. We must be able to
discern Satan’s vicious motives.

Let’s read another passage of God’s words
Almighty God’s words says, *“‘On earth, all manner of evil spirits are endlessly on the prowl for a place to rest, are
ceaselessly searching for the corpses of men to eat up. My people! You must remain inside My care and
protection. Never behave dissolutely! Never behave recklessly! Rather, offer up your loyalty in My house, and
only with loyalty can you mount a countercharge against the devil’s cunning. Under no circumstances must you
behave as in the past.’”*

😓
AMEN!
brothers and sisters Maybe we don’t really consider this is something big. You may say that“Well, I’m really

😓😓
too busy to join the fellowship and read Almighty God’s new word. I have too much work and activities to finish
up. I can’t really join.”

😓😓From the outside, it appears to be the actual situation but in fact Satan’s disturbance is behind this. Satan
tries to use this method to take over your heart, so that you have no time to worship God. You may only see it as

💔
missing several meetings because you were busy and it’s nothing serious, but Satan’s sinister motives are to

💔
make you become more and more distant from God , become less and less willing to attend meetings and
read God’s words, and even lose interest in believing in God . Actually the more we missed out the fellowship

😭😭
the less we have the eager to join and make up, and it ends up that it is no big for us without joining the

💔💔😣
fellowship in the end it turns out that we will lose God’s care and protection and be devoured by Satan

😟
little by little.
dear brothers and sisters, , after sharing all of these, do we find ourselves in this? Have you experienced any

😭😭
spiritual battle recently? feel free to share, dears~~~
Amen, I am so moved we all can relate!!!

Part 2 Busy

In this world, everyone is busy: some are busy with family matters, some are busy with their careers, some are
busy with school, some are busy with earning money, some are busy with farming and so on. It seems that
everyone has been so busy their whole lives, physically and mentally exhausted. Sometimes we take a pause
and think: Should we spend our whole life being busy like this? Then why can we not feel true peace and joy in
our lives? So what is the value of our lives? Many wealthy people have been busy all their lives, yet they are just
as helpless in the face of illness—they have nothing to rely on, no peace, and just fear of death.

Just as the Bible says, *"For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? Or
what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?"* (Mark 8:36-37)

🍀Almighty God says, “People spend their lives chasing after money and fame; they clutch at these straws,
thinking they are their only means of support, as if by having them they could live on, exempt from death. But
only when they are about to die do they realize how distant these things are from them, how weak they are in the
face of death, how easily they shatter, how lonely and helpless they are, with nowhere to turn. They realize that
life cannot be bought with money or fame, that no matter how wealthy a person may be, no matter how lofty their
position, all are equally poor and insignificant in the face of death. They realize that money cannot buy life, that
fame cannot erase death, that neither money nor fame can lengthen a person’s life by a single minute, a single
second.”

🍀God has given us this. Breath of life, God gave us 168 hours a week, and He only requires us to spend some
😊😊So, are you willing to give 2 hours every other day to learn God’s new words ?
time to learn His new words and receive His salvation

a. yes
b.no

🎉🎉In fact, when we spend time worshiping God, we don’t waste our time, on the contrary, we can gain God’s
enlightenment and can do other things better and effectively. Otherwise, we will feel more n more tired and
stressed without Gods blessing🥺🥺.

😲😲
God is righteous, His work is always moving forward without waiting for anyone,,But there are those who always
say“I’m busy, I’m not ready yet, wait until I finish pursuing my own interests...” So ~ Do you think God will
always wait for those who are busy without giving time for God?
a.yes
b.no

That’s right, the answer is NO!!! He always carries out his work according to His plan!!! 🌞
🔥
Just like Almighty God says,
*“The work of God surges onward like a mighty wave. No one can detain Him, and no one can halt His march.
Only those who listen carefully to His words, and who seek and thirst for Him, can follow His footsteps and
receive His promise. Those who do not shall be subjected to overwhelming disaster and well-deserved
punishment.”*

🍀God is righteous He gives people chances to obtain His final salvation but if someone does not cherish this
opportunity then soon when the great disasters falls it will be too late to start giving God your time. Once this
opportunity is gone it will never come back. It’s better to dedicate some of your time to study God’s new words
and receive God’s salvation and when the great disasters starts you will not feel any regret. God will protect you.

Let’s read Almighty God’s words.

Almighty God says, *”All disasters will befall one after another; all nations and all places will experience
disasters—plague, famine, flood, drought and earthquakes are everywhere. These disasters do not just happen in
one or two places, nor will they be over within one or two days, but instead they will extend over a greater and
greater area, and the disasters will become more and more severe. During this time all manner of insect plagues
will arise in succession, and the phenomenon of cannibalism will occur in all places. This is My judgment on all
nations and peoples. My sons! You must not suffer the pain or the hardships of the disasters. I wish for you to
soon come of age and take up the burden that lies on My shoulders as quickly as may be; why don’t you
understand My will? The work ahead will become more and more strenuous. Are you so hard-hearted as to leave
Me with My hands full, to work so hard on My own? I will speak plainer: Those whose lives mature will enter into
refuge and will not suffer pain or hardship; those whose lives do not mature must suffer pain and harm. My words
are clear enough, aren’t they? “*

🥺🥺
sharing:
We can see, there are more and more disasters all over the world recently. This is a reminder to us. God
loves us, He hopes we could cooperate with Him more to gain His salvation. This is the final stage of God’s work,
Almighty God has been working for 30yrs now a group of overcomers have been made by Him and soon He will
depart, and once He departs the earth will fall into darkness and it will be the time of tribulations. we neednto
3
realize that we don’t have much time now. If we do not cooperate more with Him, do not value His words and
practice truth, do not attend gatherings to fellowship His words more, we will not to be purified and perfected by
Him , we may miss His promise.

Part 3: Pay the price to gain life

☺️☺️
Dear brothers and sisters, since you understand the importance of attending our fellowship and learning God’s
new word, I am sure all of you are willing to join with us. But I know some brothers and sisters have actual
difficulties, like busy schedules at work or any other challenges . Brothers and sisters, how can we treat this
environment? Should we stop seeking and investigating the true way because of this actual difficulty? How
should we go through this situation?

To understand it, let’s read some Almighty God’s words: 🥰🥰

Almighty God says: *“If you do not seek out opportunities to be perfected by God, if you do not strive to pursue
being perfected, then you will ultimately be filled with remorse. Now is the best opportunity to be perfected—this
is the best time. If you do not earnestly seek perfection by God, once His work has concluded it will be too
late—you will have missed this opportunity. No matter how great your aspirations, if God is no longer performing
work, regardless of the effort that you put in, you will never be able to be perfected. You must seize this
opportunity and cooperate through the great work of the Holy Spirit. If you miss this opportunity, you will not be
given another no matter how much effort you put in.”*

Almighty God’s judgment work is the last stage of God’s three stages of work to save mankind. God's work is
going to end. If we miss the chance to catch the bus, we can wait for the next one, but if we miss the last chance
to be purified by God, we may miss the chance to enter into the kingdom of heaven. When God’s work finishes

😃
totally, we will weep and gnash our teeth.
Brothers and sisters, would you like to pay the price to gain final salvation from God?

✨🌾🍁☘
Amen Amen, thank God! I do believe if our heart is sincere , if we truly rely on God. God will guide us to overcome
all the difficulties .
