Am I your God? Am I your King? Have you truly allowed Me to hold power as King within you? You should examine yourself thoroughly: Did you not scrutinize and reject the new light when it came, even going so far as to stop without following it? For this, you shall undergo judgment and fall into death; you will be judged and flogged by the iron rod, and you will not feel the work of the Holy Spirit. You will quickly cry and bend your knees in worship, wailing out loud. I have always told you and I have always spoken to you; I have never withheld My words from you. Think back carefully: What have I ever failed to exhort you about? Nevertheless, there are some people who persist in doing things the wrong way. Clouds of doubt obscure the sun, and they never see the light. Is this not because their sense of “self” is too strong and their own notions are too great? Do you have any regard for Me at all? Is there any place for Me in your heart at all? When you have failed, when you have found yourself to be incapable, and when you are completely out of options, only then do you supplicate Me. Well then: Why not do things on your own now? You people! It is the old self that is your undoing!

Some people cannot find the path, and they cannot keep up with the new light. They fellowship only their old insights; there is nothing new. Why is that? You live inside yourselves and have shut the door on Me. Seeing the methods of the work of the Holy Spirit change, in your heart, you are always cautious about being wrong. Where is your God-fearing heart? Have you quieted yourself before God and sought? You just ponder in your mind, “Does the Holy Spirit really work like that?” Some people have seen that this is the work of the Holy Spirit, yet they still have things to say about it; others admit that it is the word of God, yet they do not accept it. Each has their own distinct notions surging up all at once, and they simply do not understand the work of the Holy Spirit. They are careless and unable to pay the cost and be earnest in My presence. The Holy Spirit has enlightened them, but they are unable to come before Me to fellowship or seek. Instead, they follow their own will, doing whatever they please. What sort of intention is this?
