Supplement: Handling the Antichrist Incident in Canada

What is the situation like now with people performing their duty in the Canadian church? Do you have discernment of the antichrist Yan? Can you see any problems in the way Yan spoke and acted? (At the time, I didn’t see any problems, I just thought that he wasn’t following up with the work. I didn’t really know much about anything else.) The next person can continue. (I didn’t have much contact with Yan. I attended a few gatherings with him two years ago, but I had no contact with him after that.) Yan was a leader of your church, so how could none of your teams have any contact with him? Is it because he’s been found to have problems now and you’re trying to evade your responsibilities, or did you really have no contact with him? I heard that someone had an improper relationship with Yan—is this the case? (Yes.) Did you perceive this? (No.) Then you’re very blind. Someone else can continue. (I had a lot of contact with Yan. At the time, I just thought he was somewhat arrogant and self-righteous, and he loved to exalt himself and show off. But I never discerned that he had the essence of an antichrist.) He liked to seduce women; did you know that? (No. He always spoke sternly in fellowship that it was especially bad for men and women to be promiscuous, and he often fellowshipped that we had to put a stop to such behavior. I never thought he could be like that behind closed doors.) The next person can continue. (I associated with Yan for a year, but I didn’t have a great relationship with him and we didn’t have harmonious cooperation. I only had contact with him when communicating about work and didn’t have much contact with him apart from that. That’s why I didn’t have much discernment of him.) You didn’t have much discernment of him? Was it that you didn’t see what was going on or that you didn’t discern it? How could you not have much discernment of him? How did this outcome come about? (Because the path I walked was wrong and I idolized and looked up to a gifted man. Yan was a great talker, and in every fellowship he would quote God’s words and the sermons and fellowships of the Above. It looked like he knew how to solve problems, and every time there was a problem in the church, he would try to solve it.) If he knew how to solve problems, how come the Canadian church’s Film Production Team has had so many problems that still haven’t been solved even now? You say he really knew how to solve problems, but isn’t that nonsense? Isn’t that deceptive? (Yes.) Do you listen to sermons? Do you attend gatherings every week? (We do.) So, do you listen to Me when I preach the sermons about discerning antichrists? (Yes.) After listening to Me, do you then come to have discernment of Yan? Can you see any problems in the way Yan did things? You were listening to sermons and gathering together in the same place as the antichrist, and yet you weren’t able to see such an obvious antichrist—what is the problem here? Yan was a leader for two years and five months; who came into contact with him the most? In what team did he spend the longest time? How many people in that team had discernment of him? How many discovered that he had a problem and didn’t make it known? Who discovered that he had a problem and came forward to make it known? Do you know the answers to these questions? (No one discerned what he was really like.) So how did you discover that he was an antichrist later? (A sister who had relations with him said she was in a bad state, and when we tried to learn more about the situation, we discovered Yan’s problem regarding his relationships with women.) That sister brought the problem to light, so did anyone else report it? (No.)

Over this time we’ve spent fellowshipping on and dissecting the various manifestations of antichrists, have you discovered any other problems with Yan? (By fellowshipping on discerning antichrists, I’ve discovered that Yan was very good at driving wedges between people. He would often judge certain brothers and sisters in front of me and would try to sow discord in my relationship with the sister I worked with, saying she was just a people pleaser who didn’t practice the truth, and so on. This caused me to have certain opinions about her, and over time I wasn’t able to work well with her.) Actually, you all had your opinions about Yan, but no one made them known or reported him. You’re all people pleasers who would rather cause delays to church work and not care at all. He didn’t do the work the Above arranged for him and, seeing this, you didn’t report him, but instead shielded and indulged this antichrist. Why didn’t you report him? Were you afraid of displeasing him or did you not thoroughly understand things? (I didn’t thoroughly understand things. Apart from seeing him when I occasionally had some issue, I didn’t ordinarily associate with him. He said he was busy working, but we didn’t know whether he was telling the truth or not.) There was no need to investigate what he was doing out of sight; you should have been able to see through some of what he was doing right in front of you. There are certain manifestations when antichrists do things. He wasn’t just doing things out of sight; you could recognize those manifestations in person. If you couldn’t see those manifestations, then weren’t you blind? (Yes.) So if there was someone like this again now, would you be able to discern them? Can someone like Yan perform actual work? Can they fellowship on the truth and resolve problems? (No.) Why do you say no? (In terms of work results, the church had many problems which weren’t resolved for a long time, the progress of all the work was incredibly slow, and the movies we filmed didn’t meet the requirements of God’s house.) Before Yan was taken in hand, did you see that this was a problem? (No.) So, what do you understand after you listen to sermons? You can’t see such serious problems, and then you just always find excuses, saying, “We didn’t associate with him. How could we know the things he was doing out of sight? We’re just ordinary believers, he was a leader. We couldn’t always be following him around, so it’s reasonable that we couldn’t see through him and didn’t report him.” Is this what you meant? (Yes.) What is the nature of this? (We’re trying to evade our responsibilities.) So, will you approach the matter in this way again if you encounter someone like this in the future? (No, I won’t approach the matter like this again. Once I’ve discovered them, I should report them.) I’m not so sure you will do that. There are people in many churches who report false leaders and antichrists, but there have been none in the Canadian church. This antichrist was active for such a long time and no one reported him, nobody reported him. Recently, the Film Production Team in the US sent a letter reporting someone. It was written in an organized and well-founded manner, and it was also very specific and accurate, basically written on a factual basis. This shows that in every church there are some who can discern false leaders and antichrists—this is a good thing. Sometimes false leaders and antichrists give a performance for a while, and they reveal certain problems. Some people may only be able to see that there are problems, but are unable to see through to the essence and the truth of these problems nor know how to resolve them—this also pertains to having no discernment. What should you do in such circumstances? At times like these, you should get someone who understands the truth to discern them. If there are several people who can take responsibility, with everyone seeking, fellowshipping, and discussing the matter together, then you can all reach a consensus and see through to the essence of the problem, and then you will be able to discern whether they are false leaders and antichrists. It’s not so difficult to solve the problem of false leaders and antichrists; false leaders don’t perform actual work and are easy to discover and see clearly; antichrists disturb and disrupt church work and are also easy to discover and see clearly. All this relates to the problem of disturbing God’s chosen people performing their duties, and you should report and expose such people—only by doing that can you prevent church work from being delayed. Reporting and exposing false leaders and antichrists is crucial work that guarantees that God’s chosen people can perform their duties well, and all of God’s chosen people bear this responsibility. No matter who it is, as long as they are a false leader or an antichrist, then God’s chosen people should expose them and bring them to light, and in this way you will fulfill your responsibility. As long as the reported problem is true and there really is a false leader or antichrist incident, God’s house will always handle it in a timely manner and in accordance with principles. So, did you make known the problem with the antichrist Yan? No, you did not. You were misled and played with by this devil for a long time, as though you had no awareness. To have such an obvious antichrist beside you acting wantonly all this time and for you to just allow it to continue unchallenged, do you really have no awareness at all? Do you live the church life normally? Are you able to enjoy the work of the Holy Spirit? Are you benefited every time you attend a gathering? You should be able to feel all these things. Most importantly, the antichrist Yan did not perform any actual work at all, he caused delays to film production work, and he made a total mess of church work. Anyone with a heart should have been able to see these things, but none among you unmasked or reported this antichrist. It seems as though you like mingling with filthy devils and evil spirits, and that you have no love for the truth at all. You may not be willing to acknowledge this, but it is a fact. You mingled with a devil and yet you think that this is great. You think that you don’t need to read God’s words or pursue the truth anymore and can just go through the formalities in performing your duty; you think you don’t need to bother anymore with attaining salvation, practicing the truth, submitting to God’s orchestrations and arrangements, or performing your duty well. You believe that you can just indulge your flesh and be footloose and fancy free, just like the people of Sodom back then, eating, drinking, merry-making, and not doing any proper work, with no one taking responsibility, and no one exposing or reporting the antichrist. This led to the church being without the work of the Holy Spirit for a long time. And you don’t care, you’ve already fallen into decadence, no different from the disbelievers and nonbelievers. You’ve been listening to sermons for years, and even now you still can’t discern false leaders and antichrists, instead willing to mix with antichrists and eat all day long without giving serious thought to anything at all. Such behavior is enough to show that you are not true believers in God. Firstly, you do not love the truth or accept the truth; secondly, you have no sense of responsibility for your duty, much less can it be said that you perform it loyally, and you simply ignore church work. You appear to perform your duty but you achieve no results; you’re just going through the formalities. No matter how false leaders and antichrists disturb and damage church work, you are totally unaware of it, and it doesn’t bother you at all. Only when an antichrist has been completely revealed do you acknowledge that you are without discernment, and when I ask about the details, you say, “I don’t know, I’m not responsible!” You totally wash your hands of the matter. Do you think that by saying this the matter is finished and you will be able to escape your responsibility? Will God’s house not look into it anymore? God’s house has watered you all this time and you’ve listened to many sermons, and what is the outcome? There is this serious problem, that of an antichrist appearing in the church, but you’re unaware of it. This shows that you haven’t progressed at all, that you are numb and dull-witted, and that you indulge your flesh. You’re a pile of dead people, with not one living, not one who pursues the truth, at most just a few laborers. To have believed in God and listened to sermons all this time to then mingle with an antichrist, to not expose him or report him—what is the difference between you and someone who doesn’t believe in God? You belong to the antichrists, you are not God’s people; you follow antichrists, you follow Satan, and are absolutely not followers of God. Even though you didn’t do those evil things that the antichrist did, yet you followed him and protected him, because you didn’t expose or report him and prattled on about not having associated much with the antichrist and that you didn’t know what he was doing. By doing this, were you not shielding the antichrist with your eyes wide open? The antichrist did so much evil and paralyzed the church’s work, disrupted church life into a total mess, and yet you say you didn’t know what the antichrist was doing—who would believe that? You saw that the antichrist was disturbing and damaging church work with your very own eyes and yet were completely indifferent and didn’t react at all. No one exposed or reported him—you all failed to perform even this one tiny responsibility and you are so without conscience and reason! All churches frequently send report letters reporting false leaders and antichrists—have you never seen this? Only the Canadian church is a pool of stagnant water that has never contacted the Above to give a report on its situation. You’re just a bunch of dead people, with not one living at all! God will not acknowledge such a church, and if you do not repent, you’ll be completely finished and will all be eliminated.

Today is July 10th, 2019. Starting from today, the Canadian Film Production Team will formally undergo a period of isolation and reflection for one year. How many people are in the Film Production Team? (God, there are 34 people in the Film Production Team.) And how many leaders? (Two.) Fine, so you two stand up and let Me see you. You people in the Film Production Team, remember this day, July 10th. Starting from today, the Canadian Film Production Team will be formally classified as Group B for a period of one year. If you repent then you can return to the ordinary church; we’ll see what your behavior is like over this year—if you can continue to perform your duty, and you show repentance, then you can resume living the church life. Do you understand? (Yes.) Your duties shall remain the same during this period. If some of you don’t want to be cleared out and expelled, what do you think of adopting this method of isolation and reflection? Are you satisfied with it? (Yes.) Why do I give you one year? (To give us the chance to repent.) To give you the chance to repent. If after a year your conduct is still shameful, your work efficiency is still not up to scratch, you still drag your heels when performing your duty and your duty is just as chaotic as it was, you haven’t made any progress at all with your professional work and life entry, and you haven’t achieved any results at all, then you’ll continue to be isolated for a period of another year, and in this way the time period will be extended year by year. When you have made progress, that is, when you can write some experiential testimony articles, and your behavior, understanding, and work results are indeed all up to par, you can then resume living the church life. The other teams in the Canadian church can continue living the church life. We’ll see what your attitude toward performing your duty is like in the future. If you are still conducting yourselves shamefully, then everyone in the Canadian church will be isolated. Do you understand? (Yes.) What do you think of this outcome of handling the matter? (It’s good.) Do you really mean it’s good, or are you just saying that? (It really is good.) Fine, you’re satisfied with this. So this sermon today is the last you will hear, and in accordance with My original intention you will now be completely isolated and eliminated, and you will not be allowed to listen to sermons. All these years of sermons that you’ve listened to are in vain and you haven’t gained a thing, so why are you still listening? I feel so hurt looking at you! You all look so numb and dull-witted.

When I was having a conversation with a sister in the Canadian church before, I heard that the situation there was all silly laughter and extreme debauchery, so noisy that she wasn’t able to type, as though she was in a bustling downtown area. I began then to dislike it and I said the people of the Canadian church were not devout, but were all debauched, like disbelievers, and that they didn’t pursue the truth. Later, I fellowshipped with these people on matters of film production and they were totally numb. What does “numb” mean? When I was talking with them, they showed no reaction or facial expression whatsoever, eyes fixed in place, as though they’d been possessed by evil spirits—they had no reaction or attitude about anything. Is this not disgusting? Judging by the mental states and appearances of these people, none of the teams are any good, they’re all chaotic, and in particular, an incident of promiscuity happened in the Film Production Team, and they still say they didn’t know anything. Is what they say accurate? Isn’t it deceptive? In fact, this matter of Yan the antichrist has already been handled by the leaders and workers, but because it is so serious and repugnant, I had to personally intervene. Why did I have to intervene? Because they didn’t handle it properly. They just said a couple of understated things, they couldn’t resolve any of the problems, and couldn’t dissect the matter at all. Just how numb are you now? You could be pricked in the face with a needle and not bleed; you’re totally unable to feel anything. The leaders and workers have all been pruned, but afterward they were just the same and didn’t change. That’s why I had to intervene and change your “treatment.” What lessons have you learned through this matter? You feel sorrowful in your hearts, right? Do you think it’s fair that I am handling things in this way? (Yes.) How is it fair? Let Me speak frankly: If you do not follow the right path or practice the truth, if you wave the banner of faith in God but want to live just like the nonbelievers and act wantonly, then your faith in God is meaningless. Why do I say it’s meaningless? Where does the meaning of faith in God lie? It lies in the complete change of the path people walk, their outlook on life, and their life direction and goals after they come to believe in God, in these things becoming totally different from those who don’t believe in God, from worldly people, and from devils, and the path believers walk being the total opposite of theirs. What is this opposite direction? It is you wanting to be a good person, and to be someone who submits to God and who has a human likeness. So, how can you achieve this? You should focus on striving for truth, and only then will you be able to change. If you don’t pursue the truth or practice the truth, then your faith in God has no meaning or value, your faith is an empty shell, an outright lie, just empty words, without any effect at all. You should contemplate what I’m saying here. These words are the simplest and most fundamental truths, and you perhaps haven’t contemplated them before. Is that the case? If you say, “I believe in God. I’ll do what I’m supposed to do, I’ll do what I want, and as for submitting to God, submitting to God’s orchestrations and arrangements, being loyal to God, and being someone with humanity, those things have nothing to do with me,” then if these things have nothing to do with you, what are you doing believing in God? Why do you believe in God? How do you want to believe in Him? What kind of person do you want to be in your belief in God? If these things have nothing to do with you, then your faith in God is simply without meaning. If you always believe in God relying on your notions and imaginings, you always do things according to your preferences, you do whatever you want and indulge your flesh, then your thoughts and views, and the things you do have nothing to do with the truth and nothing to do with what God requires, your faith in God is then meaningless and there is no need for you to keep on believing. Even if you did keep on believing, it would be a waste of effort, and God would not save you.

This topic is a very heavy one, and you all feel upset about the handling of this matter; it was a little unexpected. Whatever the case, there will be instances of this again in the future. Now that we’ve handled the matter in this way this time, if this kind of thing happens again in the future, it will not be handled like this, but could perhaps be handled more strictly. Tell Me, is this appropriate? (Yes.)
