Chapter 21

The work of the Holy Spirit has once again brought you into a new heaven and a new earth. Everything is being renewed, everything is in My hands, and all things are beginning anew in full force! Judged according to human notions, this cannot be understood or explained, but this is precisely Me at work, and My wisdom is in it. Therefore, you should simply let go of all your notions and views, simply eat and drink, submit in the midst of it, and have no misgivings whatsoever. Since I am working in this way, I shall shoulder a sacred responsibility. In fact, it is not a matter of what people should do; rather, it is God doing miraculous things, revealing His almightiness. People may not boast unless they boast about God. Otherwise, you will suffer loss. God lifts the needy from the dust; the lowly shall be exalted. I will use My manifold wisdom to govern the universal church, to govern well the myriad nations and the myriad of My chosen people, so that they are all within Me, and so that all of you might submit to Me in the church. Those who did not submit before must now be submissive before Me; all of you will submit to one another, forbear one another, be joined in life with one another, love one another, draw on one another’s strengths to make up for your own weaknesses, and cooperate in serving Me. In this way the church will be built, and Satan will have no opportunity to exploit. Only then will My management plan not fail to be fulfilled. Let Me give you another reminder here. Do not allow misunderstandings to arise in you because such-and-such a person is a certain way, or acted in such-and-such a way, causing your spiritual condition to degenerate. As I see it, this is truly something that should not happen, and it is worthless. Is the One you believe in not God? It is not some person. The functions are different, but there is only one body. Each of you should perform your own function, stay in your own place and do your utmost, give off light in proportion to the warmth you have, and pursue maturity in life. Thus will I be satisfied.

You need only quiet yourselves before Me, have much fellowship and communion with Me, and when there are things you do not understand, seek more, offer up prayers, and wait for My time. See everything clearly from the spirit. Do not act recklessly, so as to prevent yourself from walking astray. Only in this way will your eating and drinking of My words truly bear fruit. Eat and drink My words often, ponder what I have said, pay attention to practicing My words, and live out the reality of My words; this is the key issue. The process of building the church is also the process of the growth of life. If your life stops growing, you cannot be built. If you rely on naturalness, the flesh, zeal, contributions, or qualifications, then no matter how good these may be, you cannot be built. You must live within the words of life, live within the enlightenment and illumination from the Holy Spirit, know your actual condition, and be a changed person. You must have the same insight in the spirit, have new enlightenment, and be able to keep up with new light. You must be able to draw close to Me and commune with Me without ceasing. You must be able to base your actions in daily life on My words, be able to handle properly all sorts of people, events, and things based on My words, have My words as the standard for your conduct in your life and actions, and live out My disposition.

If you desire to grasp and be considerate of My intentions, you must pay attention to My words. Do not do things rashly. All that I do not approve of brings disaster. Only that which I approve of brings blessing. I speak, and it comes into being; I command, and it is established. Whatever I have not permitted, you absolutely must not do, lest I become angry with you; then it will be too late for regret!
