Chapter 54
I know the situation of each church like the back of My hand. Do not think I do not understand or have clarity about them. As for the various people of the churches, I have an even clearer understanding and knowledge. It is now My urgent intention to train you, so you may grow more quickly into adulthood; so the day you can be fit for My use may come sooner; and so that your actions can be full of My wisdom, that you can manifest God wherever you may be. In this way, My ultimate objective will be achieved. My sons! You should show consideration for My intentions. Do not make Me hold your hand as I teach you. You must learn to grasp My intentions and see to the heart of matters. This will enable you to handle every matter you encounter with ease, like a snap of the fingers. In your training, you might not be able to grasp it the first time—but try a second time, a third time, and so on, and you will eventually be able to grasp My intentions.
Your words always have an impenetrable quality, yet you believe this to be wisdom, don’t you? Sometimes your words carry a lack of submission, sometimes you speak in a joking way, and sometimes you speak with an element of human notions and jealousy…. In sum, you speak without steadiness, not knowing how to supply life to others or grasp their conditions, but fellowship carelessly. Your thinking is unclear and you have no idea what is wisdom and what is deceitfulness. How muddled you are! You regard deceitfulness and crookedness as wisdom; does this not bring shame on My name? Is this not blasphemy against Me? Does this not bring a false charge against Me? So, what is the goal to be pursued? Have you thought carefully about that? Have you done any pursuing in this matter? I tell you, My intentions are the direction and the goal that you pursue. If this were not so, all would be in vain. Those who cannot grasp My intentions are those who do not know how to pursue, those who will be abandoned and eliminated! Clearly, to grasp My intentions is the first lesson you must learn. It is the most urgent of tasks, and it brooks no delay! Do not wait any longer for Me to point you out one by one! You spend whole days numb and dull-witted, dazed and confused. How ridiculous! You’re actually this muddleheaded! You show no consideration for My intentions! Ask yourselves: How many times have you grasped My intentions when taking action? It is now time for you to train yourselves! Having Me prune you one by one is an impossibility! You should learn to experience and to acquire insight and wisdom as you act. The words from your mouths are well and good, but what is the reality? When you face reality, you can’t get it done at all. What you say never matches up to reality. Truly, I cannot stand to see what you are doing; when I watch, I feel terribly saddened. Remember this! In the future, learn to grasp My intentions!
