Right now, time is indeed pressing. The Holy Spirit uses many different methods, all of which are intended to lead us into God’s words. You should be equipped with all truths, be “set apart as holy,” and genuinely draw close to Me and have dealings with Me, and you will not be permitted any room to pick and choose. The work of the Holy Spirit is without feeling, and does not take into account what kind of person you are. As long as you are willing to seek and follow, make no excuses, do not argue over your own gains and losses, and seek with a hunger and a thirst for righteousness, then I will enlighten you. Regardless of how foolish and ignorant you are, I do not look at these things. I look to see how hard you work in the positive aspect. If you still hold fast to the notion of self, turning circles in your own little world, then I think you are in danger…. What is being caught up? What does it mean to be abandoned? How should you live before God today? How should you actively cooperate with Me? Discard your own notions, dissect yourself, take off your mask, see your own true colors clearly, loathe yourself, have a heart that seeks with a hunger and a thirst for righteousness, believe that you yourself genuinely amount to nothing, be willing to let go of yourself, be able to stop all your ways of doing things, quiet yourself before Me, offer up more prayers, lean on Me in earnest, look to Me, and never stop drawing close to Me and fellowshipping with Me—in these things, the key is found. People often live in the self, and are therefore not before God.

The current work of the Holy Spirit is indeed difficult for people to imagine, and all enters into reality; it really will not do to be thoughtless about it. If your thoughts and ideas are not right, then you will have no way forward. From start to finish, you must be watchful at all times, and be sure to never be negligent. Blessed are those who are constantly watchful and waiting and who are quiet before Me! Blessed are those who are always looking to Me in their hearts, who take care to listen closely to My voice, who pay attention to My actions, and who put My words into practice! The time really can brook no further delay; all manner of plagues will run rampant, opening their ferocious, bloody mouths to devour you all like a flood. My sons! The time has come! There is no more room for pondering. The only way out that will bring you under My protection is to come back before Me. You must possess the male child’s backbone; do not be weak or disheartened. You must keep up with My steps, not refuse the new light, and, as I tell you how to eat and drink My words, you should submit and eat and drink them properly. Is there still time to arbitrarily fight or contend with each other? Can you do battle if you do not eat your fill and are not fully equipped with the truth? If you want to overcome religion, you must be fully equipped with the truth. Eat and drink My words more, and ponder over them more. You must eat and drink My words independently, and start by drawing close to God. Warning! You must take heed! Those who are smart should quickly wake up! Let go of anything you are unwilling to part with. I tell you once again that these things really are harmful to your life, and they are of no benefit! I hope you can rely on Me in your actions; otherwise, the only path forward is the path of death—where, then, will you go to seek the path of life? Withdraw that heart of yours that is so eager to do external things! Withdraw your heart that refuses to yield to others! If your life cannot mature and you are abandoned, will you not then have tripped yourself up? The current work of the Holy Spirit is not what you imagine. If you are unable to let go of your notions, then you will suffer a great loss. If the work were in keeping with man’s notions, would your old nature and notions be able to come to light? Would you be able to know yourself? Maybe you’d still think that you are free of notions, but this time all your various ugly facets have clearly come to light. Carefully ask yourself:

Are you someone who submits to Me?

Are you willing and ready to let go of yourself and follow Me?

Are you someone who seeks My face with a pure heart?

Do you know how to draw close to Me and fellowship with Me?

Can you quiet yourself before Me and seek My intentions?

Do you put into practice the words I make known to you?

Can you maintain a normal condition before Me?

Are you able to see through Satan’s schemes? Do you dare to expose them?

How are you considerate of God’s burden?

Are you someone who is considerate of God’s burden?

How do you grasp the work of the Holy Spirit?

How do you cooperate in serving with others in God’s house?

How do you bear strong witness for Me?

How do you fight the good fight for the truth?

You must ponder these truths thoroughly. The facts are sufficient to prove that the day is extremely near at hand. You must be made complete before the disasters come—this is a major matter that urgently needs to be resolved! I am willing to make you complete, but I see that you are indeed somewhat unbridled. You have ability, yet you do not use it where it counts, and you have not grasped the most important things; instead, all you grasp are trivial matters. What use is there in fixating on these things? Is it not a waste of time? I show you grace in this way, but you fail to show any appreciation; you fight and make trouble recklessly—so has all My heart’s blood not been wasted? If you carry on in this way, I will not take the time to coax you along! Listen up! Unless you wake up, the work of the Holy Spirit will be withdrawn from you! You will be given no more to eat, and you may believe as you see fit. I have spoken My words exhaustively; it is up to you whether you listen or not. When the time comes that you are confused, have no way forward, and cannot see the true light, will you blame Me? Such ignorance! What should the consequence be if you cling so tightly to your self and refuse to let go? Will your work not have been all for nothing? How pitiful it is to be abandoned when disasters befall!

Now is the crucial phase of the building of the church. If you are unable to cooperate with Me proactively and offer yourself up to Me wholeheartedly, and if you cannot forsake everything, then you will suffer loss. Can you still harbor other intentions? I showed you such forbearance, waiting for you to repent and start anew. However, time really does not permit this anymore, and I must consider the big picture. For the sake of the purpose of God’s management plan, all is moving forward, and My steps march onward day by day, hour by hour, and moment by moment—those who cannot keep up will be abandoned. Every day there is new light, every day new deeds are done, and every day there arise new things. Those who cannot see the light are blind! Those who do not follow will be eliminated….
