Chapter 45
You publicly judge your brothers and sisters as if it were nothing. You truly do not know good from evil; you do not know shame! Is this behavior not audacious in the extreme and reckless and arbitrary? Every single one of you is confused and heavy of heart; you carry so much baggage, big and small, and do not let Me have any place within you. Blind man! Your cruelty has reached such an extreme—when will it end?
I speak to you from My heart time and again and I give everything I have to you, but you are so stingy and are lacking the slightest bit of humanity; this is truly difficult to fathom. Why do you always cling to your own notions? Why can you not let Me have some place in you? How could I possibly harm you? You must not continue to behave in this way—My day is indeed not far from now. Do not speak carelessly, behave recklessly, or fight and cause trouble arbitrarily; what good can this bring to your lives? I am telling you truthfully, even if not a single person is saved when My day comes, I will still handle matters according to My plan. You must know that I am the almighty God! No thing, no person, no event dares to hinder My steps forward. Do not always think that I have no way to carry out My will without you. I can tell you that if you treat your own life in this negative manner, you will only ruin your own life; this will be no concern of Mine.
The work of the Holy Spirit has progressed to a certain stage and the testimony has reached a peak. This is the plain truth. Quick, open your bleary eyes; do not allow My heart’s blood to be wasted on you, and do not indulge yourselves any longer. You always like to do good things in front of Me, but when I am not present, could your actions and behaviors be held up in front of Me for Me to scrutinize? You do not know what is good for you! You simply do not listen to Me; you do one thing in front of Me and another behind My back. You still have not realized that I am the God who observes man’s innermost heart. You are ignorant to such an extent!
Later, on the road ahead, you must no longer play cunning tricks or engage in deceit and crookedness, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable! You all still do not clearly understand what deceit and crookedness are. Any actions or behaviors which you cannot let Me scrutinize, which you cannot bring out into the open, are deceit and crookedness. Now you should understand this! If you engage in deceit and crookedness in the future, do not pretend to not understand—if you do this, you are knowingly doing wrong, and you are doubly guilty. This will only lead to you being burnt by the fire, or even worse, ruining yourselves. Be clear! What descends upon you today is merely the chastening of love; it is definitely not heartless judgment. If you fail to fully recognize this, then you are too pitiful, and you are simply beyond all hope. If you are not willing to accept the chastening of love, then only heartless judgment will descend upon you. When that happens, do not complain that I did not tell you. This is not Me shirking responsibility; rather, it is the consequence of your not having listened to My words and not having put My words into practice. I am explaining this now, lest people blame Me later.
