1. Man walked with God, through all ages and times, knows not God rules the fate of all living things, unaware of how God orchestrates all things and how He directs all things. Since time immemorial till the present day, this is something no one ever knows. It is not because God’s ways are too hard to find, or His plan has yet to be realized, but man’s heart and spirit are too distant from God. Therefore, while man is following God, he is playing the role of Satan’s servant. He never perceives this.
2. No one takes initiative to seek out the footsteps of God or the appearance of God. No one wishes to exist and live in the care and keeping of God. But they choose the corrosion of Satan and the evil one to adapt and get used to this world and to adjust themselves to the rules of life followed by the wicked mankind. At this point, the heart and spirit of man turn to gifts man offers to Satan. Man’s heart and spirit turn to food of Satan, even the place where it resides, and a playground for it. 3. In this way, man unknowingly loses his principles of how to be human. And he doesn’t know any more the worth and purpose of why he exists. God’s laws and the covenant between God and man fade away gradually in man’s heart. Man no longer seeks or pays heed to God, no longer seeks or pays heed to God. As time passes, man no longer understands why God created man, nor does he understand the words from God or realize all that is from God. Man begins to resist the laws of God and the decrees from God; the heart of man and the spirit of man, the heart and spirit of man become numb. … God loses the man He originally created, and man loses the root of his beginning. This is the sorrow of this mankind. This is the sorrow of this mankind. Woo … woo … woo … woo … This is the sorrow of this mankind, sorrow of this mankind.

Almighty God says, "If you are a true Christian, then you will surely believe that the rise and fall of any country or nation occurs according to the designs of God. God alone knows the fate of a country or nation, and God alone controls the course of this mankind. If mankind wishes to have a good fate, if a country wishes to have a good fate, then man must bow down to God in worship, repent and confess before God, or else the fate and destination of man will unavoidably end in catastrophe."

1. God allows you to know and accept His will, but not to consider His future, future work. We should just trust God and act according to His guidance. Handle the actual difficulties practically; do not trouble God or give Him a hard time. Do what we ought to do, as long as it is within God’s present work, as long as it is within God’s present work!
2. The way God leads you to walk is His work and task, and was predestined by Him long ago. So we can be lucky to follow to this day. It is our great blessing that we can follow to the present day. The way we walk is not smooth, but our friendship is immutable, but our friendship is immutable and everlasting. Be it cheers and laughter or sorrow and tears, let’s cherish them as a good memory, let’s cherish them as a good memory, a good memory! from “The Way… (8)” in The Word Appears in the Flesh

The Glorious Countenance of the King of the Kingdom Is Beyond Comparison
1. God has a new start and has gained glory on earth. Because of the final beautiful prospect, God cannot help expressing the excitement in His heart: God’s heart beats and, following the rhythms of God’s heartbeat, the mountains leap for joy, the waters dance with joy, and the waves, keeping time, beat upon the rocky reefs. It is difficult to express what is in God’s heart. It shows that what God has planned is just what God has accomplished and what God has preordained, and is just what God requires people to experience and see.
2. The prospect of the kingdom is beautiful, and the King of the kingdom is victorious. There is nothing of flesh and blood from His head to His toe but only holy element. He radiates holy luster all over without any mixture of human will, and He is full of righteousness and heavenly breath all over, giving off an attractive fragrance, just like the beloved in Song of Songs. He is more beautiful than all the saints and higher than the ancient saints, and is an exemplar for all men. Man cannot compare with Him and is unworthy to look Him in the face. God’s glorious countenance, God’s face, and God’s image are attainable to no man. No one shall compete with Him and no one can easily praise Him with his mouth. No one can easily praise Him with his mouth.
