Believing in God is not an easy thing to do. You follow in a muddled way, eating everything and thinking it has such relish, such flavor! Some of you are even applauding it—you have no discernment in your spirit. This is an experience worth seriously reviewing. In the last days, all kinds of spirits emerge to play their roles, openly opposing the progress of God’s children and taking part in sabotaging the building of the church. If you take this lightly and give Satan opportunities to work, the church will be thrown into complete disorder, people will panic and have no way out, and in serious cases people’s visions will vanish. Thus, all the heart’s blood I have expended over many years will have been for naught.

The time when the church is to be built is also the time when Satan reaches the highest pitch of its frenzy. Satan most often uses some people to cause disturbances and disruptions, and it is those who do not know the spirits and those who are new believers who can play the role of Satan most easily. Often, because people do not understand the work of the Holy Spirit, they act arbitrarily, completely according to their own preferences, their own ways of doing things, and their own notions. Hold your tongue—this is for your own protection. Properly submit and obey. The church is different from society. It is not that you must speak just because you like to speak; it is not that whatever comes to mind must be said. That will not do here, as this is the house of God. God does not accept human ways of doing things. You must do things by following the Spirit; you must live out God’s words, and only then will others admire you. You must rely on God to first resolve the difficulties within yourself, and get rid of your degenerate disposition. You must become able to truly understand your own condition and know how you should act, and fellowship more about anything you do not understand. It is unacceptable for a person not to know themselves. Heal your own sickness first, and, by eating and drinking My words more often and contemplating them, live your life and act on the basis of My words; whether you are at home or elsewhere, you should allow God to reign within you. If you cast off the flesh and naturalness and always let God’s words have dominion within you, you will not have to worry that your life will not change; with time, you will come to feel your disposition has changed a great deal. Before, you were either eager to be in the limelight and would not yield to anyone, or you had ambitions, were self-righteous, and were prideful. You will gradually cast off these things. If you wish to cast them off right now, that is not possible! This is because your old self will not allow others to touch it, so deep are its roots. So, you must make a subjective effort, actively submit to the work of the Holy Spirit, use your will to cooperate with God, and be willing to put My words into practice. If you commit a sin, God will discipline you. When you turn back and come to understanding, then all will at once be well within you. If you speak loosely, then you will be disciplined immediately within yourself. When you see that God is not pleased with such things, stop right away, and you will be at peace within. There are some new believers who do not understand what the feelings of life are or how to live within those feelings. Sometimes you wonder, though you have said nothing, why you are not at peace within. At such times, it is your thoughts and ideas that are amiss. Sometimes you have your own choices, notions, and opinions; sometimes you regard others as being less than you; sometimes you make your own petty calculations and do not pray or examine yourself. This is why you are not at peace within. Perhaps you know what the problem is, so, straight away call God’s name in your heart, come close to God, and you will recover. When your heart becomes increasingly flustered and lacking in peace, you absolutely must not think that God is asking you to speak! New believers especially should properly submit to God in this. The feelings God gives people within are peace, joy, clarity, and steadiness. Often, there are people who do not understand this and actually act recklessly and arbitrarily—these are all disruptions; pay careful heed to this. If you are prone to this problem, you should first take some “preventive medicine”; otherwise, you will create disruptions and God will strike you. Do not be self-righteous; take the strengths of others to make up for your own deficiencies, watch how others live by God’s words, and see whether their lives, actions, and speech are worth emulating. If you regard everyone else as less than you, you are self-righteous, haughty, and do not edify others. What is vital now is to focus on life, to eat and drink more of My words, to experience My words, to know My words, to make My words truly become your life—this is the main thing. If someone cannot live by God’s words, can their life mature? No, it cannot! You must live by My words at all times and have My words as the criterion of conduct in your life, so that you will feel that acting in this way is pleasing to God, and acting that way is hateful to God; and slowly, you will get on the right track. You must understand what comes from God and what comes from Satan. What comes from God gives you increasing clarity about visions, brings you ever closer to God, enables you to share earnest love with your brothers and sisters, makes you capable of showing consideration for God’s burden, keeps your God-loving heart from diminishing, and gives you a road ahead to walk. What comes from Satan causes your visions to disappear, and causes you to lose all that you had before. You become estranged from God, you have no love for your brothers and sisters, and you have a hateful heart. You have no way out, you no longer wish to live the church life, and your God-loving heart is no more. This is Satan’s work, and is also the consequence of the work of evil spirits.

Now is a crucial moment. You must stand your final watch well, keep your spiritual eyes sharp so that you can distinguish between good and evil, and exert all your effort in building the church. Clear away Satan’s servants, religious disruptions, and the work of evil spirits, and purify the church, so that My will may be carried out unimpeded and, in the extremely short time before the disasters, you may truly be made complete as quickly as possible and brought into glory.
