﻿Today, Song Ming and I …
Hey, are you Xiang Yang?
Speak of you, and here you are.
Oh, thank goodness, I've found you.
Wait, what's going on?
I know you believe in God, I want to believe with you.
What's going on here?
You don't remember me? I'm Wu Ming.
Last year you came to my village to spread the gospel.
It's OK if you don't remember, Brother Xiang, just let me explain.
I've believed there's a God since young,
but I've always been busy with work.
This society is dark and evil, and people put money before conscience.
Yes.
My heart has felt empty and restless these last few years.
I feel like people need to have faith.
Hey, that's true!
So, I came to see you!
Brother Xiang, teach me how to believe in God.
Well listen, it's not safe to talk here.
Come to my house.
Perfect! Perfect!
Hey … stop!
This isn't right! What part are you playing?
You can't tell?
I can't tell.
That performance was one way the CCP arrests Christians.
They pretend to seek the true way, get into the church, and arrest everyone!
Ha! And I completely fell for it!
Yes, you did.
It's a good thing that you want to spread the gospel,
but the CCP often sends undercover agents as seekers
to get the church information from our brothers and sisters.
You see, they fool our brothers and sisters.
The CCP really thinks of everything to arrest Christians.
If I slip for even a moment, I fall right in!
We can't blame you for that.
You've lived abroad for so many years,
so you can't be expected to know all the CCP's methods.
I know a little about how the CCP entraps Christians,
like door-to-door investigations, phone tapping, network monitoring,
awarding citizens for reports, surveillance …
But this is the first time I've heard of impersonation to get inside the church!
To catch all the Christians,
the CCP racks its brain to think of all kinds of tricks and schemes.
They have quite a few for getting inside the church.
If Christians let down their guard for even a second,
they'll be arrested and put in jail!
Well, if you ask me, the next time a stranger talks to me like that,
I'll ignore them.
You think that will keep you safe?
It's not that easy!
What do you mean?
They can trick you without even speaking to you!
Can that happen?
Don't believe me? (No.)
Alright then, time for another role-play.
Watch and learn.
From this moment on, you and I are strangers.
We don't know each other.
I'll take a walk in the park, and we'll have a chance encounter.
We'll be acting. In this situation, how could they trick me?
We're starting now.
Almighty God, the last Christ,
You're the Savior come again. (Huh? One of my brothers?)
You speak to the people and judge man (No, if he's singing that loudly,)
with the truth. Amen! (he must be a CCP agent.)
Your words bear power …
Oh! The police!
Hey! He knows to be cautious! I guess he is one of my brothers.
But, I have to tell him to be more careful.
Hey, hey, hey, hey.
Who are you? What do you want?
Don't worry about who I am,
just don't sing that song so loudly outside.
There are undercover agents, police, surveillance cameras everywhere.
Right, right, right.
It's dangerous to do that!
Thank you for the warning, brother. Thanks be to God!
Let's get out of here!
Where do you think you're going?
A CCP agent!
Even without talking to you, you were tricked!
These CCP agents are so cunning!
To arrest Christians,
the CCP specifically sends people disguised as believers in Almighty God.
In parks, plazas, markets, subway and bus stations,
they spread the gospel.
They also put out books of God's word at market stalls.
They wait for someone to start a conversation
and then start tracking whoever does.
They start following them, investigating their history,
and planning their arrest.
I start out wanting to help and end up getting myself caught!
This CCP trick is truly sinister, malicious, and evil!
They call it
"fishing."
Well, setbacks make one wiser.
I'll have to be more careful from now on!
That's right, you have to be careful.
The other day, someone came to see me.
"Brother Song,
I've believed in Almighty God for quite some time now." (Yes.)
"When can I attend meetings with more people?
I love interacting with my brothers and sisters!"
What a go-getter!
Hey, wait a minute! Who is this?
Don't tell me it's another CCP agent!
His name was Liu Wei.
He's a Party member, works for the government,
and is a People's Representative.
With a background that complex, you have to be careful! (Right!)
But,
in the several months I'd known him, I didn't notice anything strange.
His nephew is a member of our church,
and preached the gospel to him.
Then he should be alright.
But, the CCP is tricky,
so you'd better find out more about him!
I learned from my local brothers and sisters
that each time the government planned to arrest Christians,
he always found a way to warn us ahead of time.
Are we worrying too much?
I wanted to get him to his meetings, so I arranged it.
Alright, you arranged it.
But I never thought …
He was still an agent?
I never thought he would spread the gospel so actively.
He converted several people!
Hey! Your looks really fooled me!
That day, he frantically came looking for me.
"Brother Song,
yesterday I had a meeting in town.
The CCP has eyes everywhere now,
devoting even more to arresting Christians.
Tell the church leaders to hold the meetings at my house from now on.
That's the safest place." (Yeah.)
Your intentions are good,
but you work in the government, if they visit you often,
it's not safe to hold meetings there.
"Even though I work for the government,
I don't socialize with them much, so don't worry.
To tell you the truth, I've wanted to quit for a long time.
The CCP never does any real work.
They only think of ways to persecute believers in God. (That's true.)
Working for them,
I'm resisting God and helping evil!" (Goodness!)
Did you all hear that?
It's rare to see a new believer pursuing like this!
Exactly!
And a few days later, he came again.
Oh, what did he say this time?
"Brother Song, I have some bad news!"
Oh no, what is it?
"Yesterday the government initiated a secret project."
Secret project?
"They're planning to have all the central community managers
work together to spy on believers in God.
They know who their targets are.
It was risky, but I got a list of the names."
Oh no! Well then let me see it!
"I know the details,
so it's best if I tell the church leaders in person."
Meeting with the church leaders—
"Don't hesitate, there's no time to lose!"
I guess that's true, then … then let's go!
We went to the church leaders that very night.
Tell them what's going on!
That's right, but before I could even open my mouth,
Liu Wei darted up to one of them.
He seemed a little too anxious.
"Are you the church leader?"
"Captain Zhuang, move in!"
What did he mean by that?
At that moment, a dozen police charged into the room
and surrounded us.
The lead officer let out a sinister laugh.
"What do you think?
Our informant's acting skills aren't too bad, now are they?"
He … he was a CCP agent!
"Cuff them and take them away!"
Oh! There's no way you can avoid them!
The CCP is an atheist party, an enemy of God,
doing endless evil deeds to resist God.
Indeed.
To make China an atheist zone under complete control,
the CCP frantically suppresses religion and cruelly persecutes Christians.
That's a fact.
And its persecution of The Church of Almighty God
is even worse.
But God is all-powerful,
His kingdom gospel has spread all the same,
and there are more and more believers in Almighty God.
Clearly the CCP knows Almighty God's word is the truth.
If China's people hear Almighty God's word,
then most will awaken, and will believe.
Then who would follow the CCP?
That's why the CCP devil has always been worried.
Do you know what it says? (What does it say?)
"Comrades!
We must think of every possible way to get inside the church,
discover their details,
catch their most important members at once,
and completely ban and eliminate The Church of Almighty God!"
It's so terribly evil!
The Bible says,
The CCP tries every trick to capture believers in God,
and tries to eliminate God's church.
It really is a demon that resists God!
The CCP not only flagrantly arrests Christians in mainland China,
it also extends its iron fist abroad.
Even Christians who escape the country aren't safe from them.
Our brothers and sisters go abroad to spread the gospel and testify of God,
and God's gospel of kingdom has spread rapidly overseas. (Yes.)
People in every nation and region are seeking and investigating.
That's true.
Why wouldn't the CCP be afraid?
Why wouldn't they be angry?
They must be howling in frustration!
But they can't do anything,
for Christians don't break laws or commit crimes.
They can't just arrest people outside of China.
So, they try to be sly.
The CCP sends special agents to try to enter churches abroad.
Alright, then tell us, what methods does it use?
The most common is calling the church hotline
and saying they are believers in Almighty God
who are abroad to travel or visit relatives,
and that they want to take part in church life while they're there.
Others say they haven't been to a meeting in a long time,
and ask if there is a meeting near.
Some others say they read Almighty God's words online,
and that they want to investigate the true way.
They have a lot of stories!
And I'll tell you,
these people, when they meet our brothers and sisters,
they ask about everything to get information,
and try to secretly take pictures.
These CCP agents will squeeze into any crack or hole they can find!
Hey, Xiang Yang,
do you remember what it says in God's word?
What does it say?
Amen!
Almighty God's word hits the nail on the head
and reveals the CCP's evil nature of hating God.
Right.
Ever since taking power, the CCP has brutally persecuted Christians.
Their goal is to completely erase God's work
and turn China into a country ruled by the king of devils.
They only allow devils to exist,
and forbid God and His chosen people to exist.
The CCP makes an enemy of God. Will God not curse it?
China is suffering disasters, the people are furious,
and riots are breaking out everywhere.
International society is also attacking the CCP.
They are suffering many troubles,
their situation is dire, they are near collapse.
But even now,
they consider suppressing and arresting Christians to be their first priority!
They are evil to the core!
The CCP goes to any length to catch Christians, using every trick,
thinking they can completely eliminate Christians.
But the result is, God's chosen people,
thanks to the CCP's cruel persecution, have not fallen,
but instead see their despicable cruelty,
shamelessness, and evil more clearly, (Yes.)
hate it and forsake it,
and are more determined than ever in their faith to follow God.
The CCP is actually doing service for God's making the overcomers!
Exactly right.
The CCP frantically tries to suppress The Church of Almighty God,
but it never imagined that God's gospel would spread all over China
and expand overseas.
That's right.
The Church of Almighty God has been established in many countries,
and the CCP's evil schemes have completely failed.
No matter how cruel or evil,
the CCP cannot stop God's will from being carried out.
This is a demonstration of God's authority! (Right!)
Hey, since we're talking about this,
I remembered a hymn of God's word.
Sing it.
Amen!
And now, I think of a couplet.
First line:
The great red dragon schemes to capture God's chosen people.
Second line:
Almighty God rules over everything to spread the kingdom gospel.
Closing:
God is already victorious!
