What I ask you to do is not the nebulous and empty theory that I speak of, nor is it unimaginable by the brain of man or unachievable by the flesh of man. Who is capable of complete devotion within My house? And who can offer up their all within My kingdom? If My intentions had not been made manifest, would you truly be able to satisfy My heart by making demands of yourselves? No one has ever understood My heart, and no one has ever perceived My intentions. Who has ever seen My face or heard My voice? Did Peter? Or Paul? Or John? Or James? Who has ever been clothed by Me, or possessed by Me, or used by Me? Though the first time I became flesh happened within divinity, the flesh in which I clothed Myself knew not the sufferings of man, because I was not incarnated in a form, and so it could not be said that the flesh fully followed My will. Only when My divinity is able to do as I would do and speak as I would speak in the person of normal humanity, without hindrance or obstruction, can it be said that My will is followed in the flesh. Because My normal humanity is able to shield My divinity, thus is achieved My aim of being humble and hidden. During the stage of work in the flesh, although the divinity acts directly, such actions are not easy for people to see, which is merely because of the life and actions of normal humanity. This incarnate flesh cannot fast for 40 days like the first one, but works and speaks normally; although I disclose mysteries, I am very normal; it is not as people imagine—My voice is not like thunder, My face does not sparkle with light, and the heavens do not tremble when I walk. If that were the case, then in this there would be none of My wisdom, and it would be impossible to shame and defeat Satan.

When I reveal My divinity from behind the shield of normal humanity, I gain full glory, My great work is accomplished, and nothing presents any difficulties. This is because the aim of My incarnation is chiefly to allow all those who believe in Me to behold the deeds of My divinity in the flesh, and to see the practical God Himself, thus dispelling the place within people’s hearts that is occupied by the invisible and intangible god. Because I eat, clothe Myself, sleep, dwell, and act like a normal person, because I speak and laugh as a normal person and have the needs of a normal person, while also possessing the essence of full divinity, I am called “the practical God.” This is not abstract, and it is easy to understand; in it can be seen in which part the core of My work lies, and in which phase of work My focus is. The core aim of My incarnation is to reveal My divinity through normal humanity. It is not hard to see that the center of My work is in the second part of the time of judgment.

In Me, there has never been human life, nor any human scent. Human life has never held a place in Me, and has never suppressed the revelation of My divinity. Thus, the more I am the One who expresses My voice in heaven and the intentions of My Spirit, the more I can shame Satan, and thus the more I am able to follow My will within normal humanity. This alone has defeated Satan; Satan has already been utterly shamed. Although I am hidden, this does not impede the utterances and actions of My divinity—this is enough to show that I have been victorious and have gained complete glory. Because My work in the flesh is without hindrance, and because the practical God now has a place in people’s hearts and has set down roots in their hearts, it is fully proven that Satan has been defeated by Me. And because Satan is incapable of doing any more among man, and because it is difficult to instill the caliber of Satan in man’s flesh, My will proceeds without hindrance. The content of My work is, chiefly, to cause all people to behold My wondrous deeds and see My true face: I am not beyond reach, I do not tower in the sky, and I am not without image and form. I am not invisible like air, and nor am I like a floating cloud, easily blown away; instead, though I live among man and experience the sweetness and bitterness of man’s world, My flesh is substantively different from that of man. Most people have difficulty engaging with Me, yet most also yearn to engage with Me. It is as if there are huge, unfathomable mysteries in the incarnate God. Because of the direct revelation of divinity, and because of the shield of human appearance, people keep a respectful distance from Me, believing that I am a merciful and loving God, yet also fearful of My majesty and wrath. Thus, in their hearts, they wish to speak in earnest with Me, yet they cannot do as they wish—what their hearts desire, their strength lacks. Such are the conditions of everyone in these circumstances. The more that people are like this, the greater the proof of the revelation of various aspects of My disposition, and thus the aim of people knowing God is achieved. But this is secondary; the key is making people know My wondrous deeds from the doings of My flesh, causing them to know the essence of God: I am not, as people imagine, abnormal and supernatural; rather, I am the practical God who is normal in all things. The place of “Me” within people’s notions is dispelled, and they are made to know Me in reality. Only then do I take My true place in people’s minds.

Before all people, I have not only never done anything supernatural that would be seen as precious, but I am also extremely ordinary and normal; I deliberately do not allow people to see anything in My incarnate flesh that has any hint of God. But because of My words, people are utterly conquered, and thereby submit to My testimony. Only thus do people come to know the Me in the flesh, without misgivings and upon the foundation of fully believing that God does indeed exist. In this way, people’s knowledge of Me becomes more real, more clear. This knowledge is entirely untainted by their good behavior, and it is entirely the result of My divinity acting directly, thus giving people a greater knowledge of My divinity, for only divinity is the true face of God and an inherent attribute of God. People should see this. What I want are words, deeds, and actions that are in divinity. I care not for words and actions in humanity. My aim is to live and act in divinity. I wish not to take root and sprout in humanity, and I wish not to reside in humanity. Do you understand what I am saying? Even though I am a guest in humanity, I do not want this; I act in complete divinity, and only in this way can people better understand My true face.
