I was born in a poor and backward village, and lived in poverty from childhood. After I got married, to make my little life become rich as soon as possible, I worked and labored like crazy. In the end, I fell sick from overwork. The previously healthy me got many illnesses. Since then, I lived in the affliction of illnesses and began to see doctors and seek remedies everywhere. I spent a lot of money, but my illnesses never got better. In the spring of 1999, two sisters preached Almighty God’s end-time work to me.
I was a peasant. As my family was poor, I kept working everywhere to make money, just wanting to live a better life through my own labor. However, in real life I saw that the lawful rights and interests of a rural worker like me couldn’t be guaranteed at all. My wages were often withheld for no reason. Deceived and exploited by others again and again, I couldn’t get the payment I deserved for a year’s hard work. I felt that the world was too dark! People lived by the law of the jungle like animals and contended with and fought against each other. There was simply no place for me to live. When I was extremely distressed and depressed in my heart and lost confidence in life, a friend preached Almighty God’s end-time salvation to me. From then on, I often had meetings with the brothers and sisters, and we prayed, sang, and fellowshipped about the truth together. We learned from each other and made up for each other’s deficiencies, and I felt especially happy and released. In the Church of Almighty God, I saw that there was no deception or distinction of position among the brothers and sisters. We were all simple and open and lived in harmony. In order to cast off the corrupt disposition and live out the likeness of a man and thus be saved, all of us were striving to pursue the truth, which let me taste the happiness of life and understand the value and meaning of life. Therefore, I always felt that I should preach the gospel so that more people who lived in darkness could come before God to be saved by God and see the light again. So, I joined in preaching the gospel to testify God. However, I never expected that I would be arrested by the CCP government for preaching the gospel and suffer the extremely cruel tortures and imprisonment.
After Undergoing the Devil’s Affliction, I Knew More Clearly God’s Grace Is Precious

My name is Xu Qiang. I was once a project contractor. I led many people to undertake contracted projects every year and had a good income. In the eyes of my contemporaries, I had a happy family and smooth career and had a great future, so I should be the happiest man. However, while enjoying the material life, I felt an unexplainable emptiness in my heart. Especially in order to undertake contracted projects, I had to ingratiate myself with the leaders of the relevant departments all day, observing their speech and behavior and fawning and flattering them. All those had to be handled extremely well, or I couldn’t earn money. Moreover, people of the same trade intrigued against one another and guarded and schemed against one another, which made me exhaust all mental efforts…. Thus, I felt very bitter and tired and felt as if I became a puppet and a moneymaking machine, losing my dignity and integrity completely. In 1999, I accepted Almighty God’s end-time work. The feeling of release in the church life and the simplicity and honesty of the brothers and sisters made me deeply moved. I liked very much to live the church life and even more liked to stay with the brothers and sisters, and I treasured such time very much. As I read God’s word and attended meetings constantly, I understood many truths and was greatly released in my heart. I felt very thankful that I had found the true human life and the true happiness. And my heart was full of gratitude to God. If God didn’t save me from the sea of misery of the world, I would never have hope in my life. Later, I began to preach the gospel, running joyfully and tirelessly among the people who investigated the true way, so that they could receive Almighty God’s salvation earlier.
“‘Love’ means a pure and unblemished affection, to love with the heart, to feel with the heart, and to care with the heart; in ‘love’ there is no condition, no barrier, and no distance; in ‘love’ there is no suspicion; in ‘love’ there is no cheat, no deal, and no cunning; in ‘love’ there is no choice; and in ‘love’ there is not any mixture.” (from “Pure and Unblemished Love” in Follow the Lamb and Sing New Songs) This hymn of God’s word accompanied me through the long and painful seven years and four months of prison life. The CCP government deprived me of the best years of my youth, yet from Almighty God I got the most precious and practical truths. So I have no regrets!
God’s work changes so fast, unfathomable and convincing to man.
The scenes today are different from before, all of them are beautiful and new.
All and everything are revived, are renewed and are holy.
All the people praise God full of joy,
the voice of praise rending the third heaven (the third heaven).
Praise! Cheer! Sing! All the people praise God heartily.
Praise! Cheer! Sing! All the people praise God heartily.
Hallelujah!
Hallelujah!
All the lovers of God obey God, and live out the reality of God’s word.
All people have cast off filth and corruption and become clean,
glorifying and testifying God’s holy name, and satisfying God’s heart’s desire.
The earth is filled with holiness and righteousness, presenting a beautiful and new scene. (Hallelujah!)
Praise! Cheer! Sing! Give true praise from our hearts!
Praise! Cheer! Sing! Give true praise from our hearts.
Hallelujah! Praise God! Praise God!
Praise the accomplishment of God’s work. God has gained full glory.
All the people have submitted themselves before God, fulfilling their respective function and keeping their own place.
Living in God’s word, we worship and praise God before Him!
We are immersed in happiness with God. (Hallelujah!)
Praise! Cheer together! Our praise is unceasing!
Praise! Sing together! Our praise is unceasing!
Praise! Cheer together! Our praise is unceasing!
Praise! Sing together!
Our praise is unceasing! Unceasing!

From in:The Church of Almighty God
Recommendation: Eastern Lightning, the Church of Almighty God was created because of the appearance and work of Almighty God, the second coming of the Lord Jesus, Christ of the last days. It is made up of all those who accept Almighty God’s work in the last days and are conquered and saved by His words. It was entirely founded by Almighty God personally and is led by Him as the Shepherd. It was definitely not created by a person. Christ is the truth, the way, and the life. God’s sheep hear God’s voice. As long as you read the words of Almighty God, you will see God has appeared.
He was a leader of a house church in China. For many years, he had been exploring the mystery of the “Triune God”: What’s the relationship between the three Spirits, the Holy Father, the Holy Son, and the Holy Spirit? What’s the difference of them? The Bible says that there is only one Spirit. If there is only one Spirit, why is it said that there are three? If there are three Spirits, how can they be one? One day, the words expressed by God who reappeared finally unlocked the mystery of the “Triune God,” which had puzzled him many years and puzzled the religious world for two thousand years….
Today I come before God again, and see His lovely face.
La la la la la la.
Today I come before God again, and say goodbye to my drifting past.
Hallelujah!
Today I come before God again; enjoying God’s words fills my heart with unparalleled sweetness.
Today I come before God again, and have too many heartfelt words to speak.
Ay! Hey!
God’s tender words water me and feed me to grow up (feed me to grow up).
God’s stern words encourage me to rise up again after falling (rise up again after falling).
O God! We praise You; it’s You who have uplifted us (uplifted us).
It’s altogether Your blessing and mercy that we can extol You today.
We love You, Almighty True God!

O God! You love us so much, leading us to break free from the influence of Satan.
Brothers and sisters, be quick to rise up! Let’s praise our God together. (La la la la la.)
We are together today; we should treasure the God-sent good chance.
Get rid of all burdens of the flesh, and praise Almighty God heartily (praise Almighty God).
Perform our duty with all our heart and effort, and love God with actual deeds!
We will love You forever, Almighty True God!
Amen!
