Of principal importance in following God is that everything should be according to the words of God today: Whether you are pursuing life entry or the satisfaction of God, everything should be centered around God's words today. If what you fellowship about and seek to enter are not centered around the words of God today, then you are a stranger to the words of God, and totally bereft of the work of the Holy Spirit. What God wants are people who follow His footsteps. No matter how wonderful and pure what you understood before is, God doesn't want it, and if you are unable to put aside such things, then they will be a tremendous obstacle to your entry in the future. All those who are able to follow the present light of the Holy Spirit are blessed. The people of ages past also followed the footsteps of God, yet they could not follow until today; this is the blessing of the people of the last days.

Those who can follow the present work of the Holy Spirit, and who are able to follow the footsteps of God, such that they follow God wherever He leads them—these are people who are blessed by God. Those who don't follow the present work of the Holy Spirit have not entered into the work of God's words, and no matter how much they work, or how great their suffering, or how much they run about, He won't approve of them. Today, all those who follow the present words of God are in the stream of the Holy Spirit; those who are strangers to the words of God today are outside of the stream of the Holy Spirit, and such people are not approved of by God.
