Fellowship From the Brother Above – November 17, 2025 (Part Three)

Now, let’s begin answering questions.

Question 1: Some potential gospel recipients ask: “You say the One expressing the truth is the incarnate God, so how can we discern that the words spoken by Almighty God are the truth?” How should we fellowship on this question?

Answer: This is a crucial question. How can we discern that the words spoken by Almighty God are the truth? To put it simply, God’s sheep hear God’s voice. If you are one of God’s sheep, you will be able to recognize that Almighty God’s words are God’s voice; if you are not one of God’s sheep, you won’t be able to. Tell me, do all those who recognize God’s voice understand many truths? (No.) When people first hear God’s words, no one understands the truth. So how can they still recognize that this is God’s voice? They do so through the intuition in their spirit. Let’s take an example. When the Lord Jesus preached and worked, the Pharisees of Judaism also acknowledged that His words possessed authority and power. But tell me, did they understand the truth? (No.) Then why did they say the Lord Jesus’ words possessed authority and power? Wasn’t it based on a feeling in their spirit? Therefore, discerning whether the words spoken by Almighty God are actually the truth is ultimately a matter of feeling. Even with words spoken by nonbelievers, a person of some caliber can feel in their heart who speaks with the most weight and whose words are most in line with reality. What is your feeling after listening to the fellowship I am giving you today? (It’s quite practical and illuminating.) Whether you say it’s practical or illuminating, is this not a feeling in your heart? (It is.) People have a spirit within them. Everyone has a spirit, and having a spirit means having feelings. What are the main types of human feelings? One type is physical sensation. For example, if you touch red-hot iron with your hand, you feel pain. This is a physical feeling. Another type is feelings in your spirit. The feelings in your spirit are different from physical feelings. For example, if you encounter a devil, what do you feel in your spirit? You feel fear and want to get away quickly—the farther the better. Sometimes when you go into an empty house, you don’t see anything, but you get the creeps and all your hair stands on end. What is going on? There must be evil spirits in that house that people can’t see, so you feel creeped out. You didn’t see the evil spirits, so why did you have this feeling? Is this not a feeling in your spirit? (It is.) People have this kind of feeling in their spirits, and this feeling is very powerful. The spirit can feel things invisible to the naked eye. The more acute this sense in a person’s spirit is, the better. Many people, after hearing God’s words, feel, “These words possess authority and power. I’ve never heard anything like this before. These words are so good and so practical! These words are the truth!” This is the feeling in their spirits. If a person has this feeling after hearing God’s words, then the sense in their spirit is very acute. Can a person understand the truth immediately when they first hear God’s words? They don’t understand what the truth is; they just have some feelings in their spirit. It’s just like when Almighty God first began to appear, work, and utter His words. Someone read these words spoken by God, felt they were quite special, and brought them to me. After reading them, I felt these words were good, that they were not words any human could speak, and that they were the utterances of the Holy Spirit. So, I had people quickly distribute these words to the churches, telling the brothers and sisters that these were the utterances of the Holy Spirit and urging everyone to hurry to eat and drink them. Later, as God continuously expressed new words, the utterances of the Holy Spirit were printed as a book and distributed to the churches, with a copy for everyone. After reading God’s words, everyone felt, “These words are the utterances of the Holy Spirit. They contain such light and are so practical! These words have explained clearly the things we couldn’t see clearly or understand despite believing in the Lord for so many years. These words are truly so good!” Therefore, back then, people were captivated as soon as they read the utterances of the Holy Spirit, and no one read the Bible anymore. Because the Bible does not record many detailed truths, many of people’s questions and points of confusion could not be resolved, and they had no path of practice in real life. But after reading the utterances of the Holy Spirit, these questions and points of confusion were all resolved, and they had a path of practice for the problems they encountered in real life. So, everyone focused on eating and drinking the utterances of the Holy Spirit. Later, as the utterances of the Holy Spirit increased in number, God began to testify to the truth of the incarnation. Only then did everyone have a sudden realization and discover that the Son of man expressing these words was the incarnate God, and only then did they begin to prostrate themselves and worship the incarnate God. Tell me, what did people rely on at that time to realize these were the utterances of the Holy Spirit? (The feeling in their spirits.) At that time, people didn’t understand any truths; they relied solely on the feeling in their spirits to determine that the words expressed by this Son of man were the utterances of the Holy Spirit. Therefore, when potential gospel recipients ask how to determine that Almighty God’s words are the truth, the answer is clear: by the feeling in your spirit, and the intuition in your spirit.

When people first start reading God’s words, they don’t understand the truth, so they can only make judgments based on their feelings. However now, having accepted Almighty God’s work of the last days and having eaten and drunk His words and gained some experience, we have a more concrete path for determining that God’s words are the truth. For example, when God expresses words about what He has and is, people know they are the truth as soon as they read them. Some words are spoken by God from a first-person perspective, such as: “I shall work upon the entire universe and I shall perform great work, revealing all My glory and all My deeds to man in the last days” (The Word, Vol. 1. The Appearance and Work of God. The Seven Thunders Peal—Prophesying That the Gospel of the Kingdom Shall Spread Throughout the Universe). “Of everything in the universe, there is nothing in which I do not have the final say. Is there anything that is not in My hands?” (The Word, Vol. 1. The Appearance and Work of God. God’s Words to the Entire Universe, Chapter 1). Only God Himself can speak in this way; no human could express such words. Upon hearing such words, you know immediately that they are God’s voice and the truth. There are also the words in which God unveils the mysteries of His management of mankind. These words unveil the three stages of work God does to save mankind—including what work God did in the Age of Law, what work God did in the Age of Grace, and what work God does in the Age of Kingdom. All these mysteries have been unveiled. This is all God testifying to how He saves mankind, how He manages mankind, and how He carries out the three stages of work. These are God’s own affairs and God’s own work. No human has knowledge of the real story of these matters, let alone the ability to speak these words. Therefore, as soon as people read these words, they know they are the truth. There are also the words in which God exposes corrupt mankind: God has exposed the root of mankind’s corruption by Satan, how Satan corrupts man, and to what extent Satan corrupts man. God has also expressed all these mysteries, and these words are also the truth. These are truths that no human could have known; even the people used by God, the prophets, and the apostles throughout the ages could not have known them. But in this stage of work in the last days, God has unveiled all these truths and mysteries. Not only that, but Almighty God has also unveiled all the things that were not mentioned or explained thoroughly in the Bible. These are also things that no human could have said. Only God knows the words that He has not yet spoken. Therefore, when Almighty God speaks these words, people with heart and spirit hear them and say, “This is the truth. These are the most practical words and the words that are most in line with the facts. This is the essence and reality of things. No one but God could say these things.” If you can say this, you will know how to determine that these are God’s words. You will say, “Because these words are the truth and mysteries, I can determine that they are the expressions of the incarnate God.” So if someone says, “People who do not understand the truth cannot discern God’s words,” is this statement valid? (No.) Everyone has intuition, and human intuition comes from the spirit. If, upon hearing God’s words, you feel in your spirit that, “These words possess such authority; these are God’s words, God’s voice. No one but God could speak words with such authority,” then having this intuition proves that you are one of God’s sheep. The Lord Jesus said: “My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me” (John 10:27). If you are one of God’s sheep, you will hear God’s voice. So, when God’s sheep first hear God’s voice, do they understand the truth? They don’t understand the truth. So when do they start to understand the truth? Most of them only begin to understand a little truth after accepting God’s work for a few years. Is that not so? (It is.) Then what do God’s sheep rely on to hear God’s voice? They rely on the intuition in their spirit, the feeling in their spirit. Upon hearing these words, they recognize them as God’s voice and the truth. That’s just how it is. Therefore, people rely on the feeling in their spirit to determine that these are God’s words.

Question 2: When we testify that the work of judgment done by God’s second incarnation is the final stage of God’s work to save man, and that only those who experience judgment and are cleansed of their sins can enter the kingdom of heaven, potential gospel recipients often ask: “What about those who believed in the Lord Jesus but died before God appeared and began to work in the last days? Can they enter the kingdom of heaven?” How should this question be answered?

Answer: To put it simply, when people die, their flesh turns to dust, and their souls return to the spiritual realm. Do you know what God will arrange for their souls? If God arranges for their souls to return to the human world, they will be reincarnated as humans again. Is this not the resurrection of the dead? (It is.) Tell me, how should the resurrection of the dead be explained? There are two explanations. One is when a dead person comes directly back to life, just as the Lord Jesus raised Lazarus directly from the dead. But if a person has been dead for hundreds or thousands of years and their flesh has turned to dust, can they still come directly back to life? (No.) So, if such people are to be resurrected from the dead, it must be in another way: The soul is reincarnated as a human. In fact, every person’s soul has been reincarnated into the human world many times; it’s just that you don’t know who your soul was in past lives. But no one can deny the fact that souls are reincarnated as humans. In the last days, God has become incarnate as a human, angels have also been reincarnated as humans, devils and Satan have come as well, and some of God’s chosen people have also come. So where did these chosen people of God come from? In their past lives, they may have been believers in the Lord who were reincarnated again in the last days. Those who believe in the Lord have believed in Him throughout the ages, and those who do not believe in the Lord have not believed throughout the ages. You see, those who are Buddhists are reincarnated as humans and, upon reaching a certain age, convert to Buddhism again. Those who believe in Taoism are reincarnated as humans and, after reaching a certain age, return to Taoism. Those who believe in the Lord, however, are God’s chosen people. When God’s chosen people are reincarnated as humans and reach a suitable age, they return before God. Therefore, all those who sincerely believe in God believed in the Lord in their past lives. It can be said that they believed in Jehovah in the Age of Law more than three thousand years ago. Is this not the case? (It is.) Do you know what your name was when you believed in the Lord in a past life? Do you know what your name was when you believed in Jehovah more than three thousand years ago? (No.) No one knows. God has His own arrangements for those who have died. If a soul is that of one of God’s chosen people, God arranges for it to be reincarnated as a human. The saying “the saints of ages past have been resurrected from the dead” refers to them being reincarnated as humans and born in the last days, accepting God incarnate, experiencing God’s work of judgment in the last days and being cleansed, and then being brought into the kingdom by God. Some people say, “I don’t acknowledge that reincarnation is a fact.” Whether you acknowledge it or not is your business. Your refusal to acknowledge it cannot affect the progress of God’s work; it only shows that you are too foolish and stubborn. This is how God works, and this is a fact. There is a basis for this in the Bible. When the Lord Jesus spoke to people about John the Baptist, He said: “And if you will receive it, this is Elias, which was for to come” (Matthew 11:14). So John the Baptist was Elijah reincarnated. He had been a prophet in the Age of Law, and in the Age of Grace, he became someone who paved the way for God’s work. Therefore, the reincarnation of saints of ages past as humans is a fact that God has already accomplished. So, some of the prophets and saints throughout the ages, such as John, Peter, and so on, have been reincarnated again in the last days. Perhaps in a past life they were a brother, but in this reincarnation they are a sister. Gender can change, because the spirit itself has no gender; gender only comes into being after reincarnation as a human. Do you believe in reincarnation? (Yes.) Some people say, “We haven’t studied this matter, so we don’t know if it’s true or false.” In fact, when the Lord Jesus was working, He said many such things, but more than three hundred years after the Lord, those church leaders did not compile these words into the Bible; they denied this matter. Tell me, the Lord Jesus preached for three and a half years, so how many words must He have spoken? But the words they selected for the Four Gospels can be preached in just one or two hours. They deleted many words that did not accord with their notions. The words that were deleted included those about the reincarnation of souls. But no matter how many of the Lord Jesus’ words about the reincarnation of souls they deleted, this is definitely a fact. Therefore, God has arrangements for anyone who died before He began His work of the last days if they were one of His chosen people. Some may have been reincarnated as humans again in the last days, and accepted God’s work of the last days.

Question 3: When we preach the gospel and talk about the work of judgment in the last days, we discuss what judgment is and why God needs to do the work of judgment, but some potential gospel recipients still think that God judging man means Him sitting on the great white throne and condemning people one by one based on their deeds. How can we explain the work of judgment clearly?

Answer: The work of judgment as imagined by religious people is God sitting on the great throne and condemning people one by one based on their deeds. This is a completely different matter from Almighty God using words to judge man in the last days. Judging man with words does not mean directly determining a person’s outcome. It doesn’t mean condemning you as having a satanic nature essence, not saving you, and then eliminating you. Judging man with words is not like that. For Almighty God to judge man with words is to expose the truth of your sinning, to expose that the corruptions you reveal are satanic dispositions, and to expose that your nature essence is of Satan, so that you may know yourself. Then what does “being of Satan” mean? It means that in your life disposition there is no truth, only satanic dispositions. If you believe in God but do not resolve these satanic dispositions and do not achieve a change in disposition, then you cannot be saved. Resolving these satanic dispositions requires experiencing the judgment and chastisement of God’s words. Therefore, God’s purpose in judging man with words is to achieve a better result in saving man. The first result achieved by judging man with words is actually to reveal man. God judges man with words to reveal man’s corrupt dispositions, reveal man’s nature essence, and reveal the facts of man’s pitiable and poor state of lacking the truth. But God’s purpose in revealing man is not to directly condemn or eliminate man. If you are someone who loves the truth, you can accept and submit to God’s judgment and chastisement and God’s revelations, seek the truth, and reflect on and know yourself. In this way, you can be cleansed and attain salvation. If you are not someone who loves the truth, then after being revealed, you will think your hope of gaining blessings is dashed and you will stop believing. This is being thoroughly revealed and eliminated. You see, both are revelations, but they produce different results in different people. The outcomes of all types of people are revealed in this way. In the end, when those who love the truth have experienced God’s judgment and chastisement, been cleansed, and been made into overcomers, those who do not accept the truth will also have been thoroughly condemned and eliminated by God’s words. People will all have been sorted according to their kind, and at that point, God’s work of judgment in the last days will be complete. Tell me, if God were to judge people one by one in His work of judgment, how long would that take? It’s impossible to calculate, is it not? God does not work that way. God judges man simply by expressing words. God expresses words to judge and expose man’s corrupt dispositions. Those who can accept the truth read God’s words every day and accept the judgment and chastisement of God’s words. Their corrupt dispositions are cleansed, their life dispositions change, and they come to do their duty in a way that is up to standard. Ultimately, these people gain God’s approval, and can enter the kingdom of heaven and attain a good destination. Those who do not accept the truth believe in God solely to gain blessings, and, even more than that, they do their duty to gain blessings. They do not accept the judgment and chastisement of God’s words. As a result, their corrupt dispositions are not cleansed, and their life dispositions do not change. In God’s eyes, they are people who resist God. Even if they do their duty and expend themselves for God, God does not approve of them, and ultimately, these people will be eliminated. Therefore, God completes the work of judgment simply by expressing words. Those who can accept the truth have their corrupt dispositions cleansed and attain salvation, while those who do not accept the truth are condemned and eliminated by God’s words. Ultimately, these people will fall into the disasters and all be destroyed. So, is it still necessary for God to bring those who do not accept the truth, especially those who resist God, before Him and judge them one by one? (No, it is not necessary. They will not be saved by God.) Because they do not accept the truth, are not among those God will save, and are unworthy of seeing God’s face, God will not bring them before Him to judge them one by one; He just uses words to condemn them, and that is enough. Do you understand? (Yes.) Therefore, the judgment of the great white throne in the last days is the judgment of Almighty God’s words. When you read Almighty God’s words, you are being judged. If you do not accept them, you will be condemned by God’s words; if you accept them, you can be cleansed by God’s words. This is what the judgment of the great white throne is all about. Then what does God sitting on the great white throne refer to? It means the incarnate God reigning in God’s kingdom. Christ is the King of the kingdom, and ultimately, the myriad countries and peoples will worship this incarnate practical God. Therefore, the judgment of the great white throne is not as people imagine, with God seated on a white throne, judging people one by one. Rather, it refers to the judgment before the seat of Christ, which is the work of judgment through words carried out by the incarnate Almighty God in the last days. If the judgment of the great white throne were really God’s Spirit sitting on a throne judging people one by one, would corrupt mankind be worthy of seeing God’s face? Would God appear to those who do not believe in Him? The essence of those who do not believe in God is that of devils and Satan. They are not worthy of seeing God’s face, and God will absolutely not appear to them. God will directly speak a phrase to condemn and eliminate them. God’s words judge and condemn them, and cleanse and save those who are to be saved. In this way, God’s work of judgment has already achieved results. Therefore, expressing words to judge man is the wisest way for God to work, and this is the true judgment of the great white throne.
