My husband and I met each other at a house church in China. After graduating from university, we came to South Korea together. Since the church was increasingly desolate, we no longer went there. After my daughter was born, we both hoped she would build a foundation of faith when she was a child, so we decided to attend meetings in a Presbyterian Church South Korea near my house.
I got acquainted with an aunt in the church. One day in January 2018, the aunt led Sister Lin to my home. After a brief self-introduction, Sister Lin came straight to the point and testified that the
Lord Jesushas returned and done a new and outstanding work, which is the work of
judgment beginning from the house of God prophesied in the Book of Revelation. Hearing this, I thought: “Which denomination is this? She is bearing witness that the Lord has returned and done a new work.” When I was thinking about this, Sister Lin took out a book from her handbag and gave it to me; I saw its name The Scroll Opened by the Lamb, which reminded me that it was mentioned many times in the New Testament that the Lord Jesus was the Lamb and He became the sin offering for mankind. So I was curious about what the book talked about. Sister Lin said: “The words in this book is not from people because we are unable to speak these words. It is only God in the flesh who can express these truths.” Subsequently, Sister Lin read for us a passage of the preface of it, and showed me some dance and song videos of The Church of Almighty God through her mobile phone.
After watching the videos, I felt that they were very good. However, from Sister Lin’s following fellowship, I learned that The Church of Almighty God is
Eastern Lightning, and then I suddenly remembered that ten years ago my pastors warned us to guard against Eastern Lighting many times during gatherings. Thinking of this, I became alert instantly and couldn’t sit still, but then I thought: “What Sister Lin is fellowshiping is in line with the
Bible and is also enlightened; why do I beware of her?” I then felt a bit confused and didn’t know what to do. At that time, Sister Lin seemed to see through my thoughts and said to me with a smile: “In treating the big matter of the Lord’s return, we should hold an attitude of seeking
the truth, and should not lightly listen to others. We need to investigate whether the words of Almighty God is the truth and God’s voice. Only then will we not miss the opportunity to welcome the Lord’s return.” Meanwhile, my husband also persuaded me to look into the way first. I felt what they said made sense, thinking: “The Lord’s return is indeed such a big event that I can’t treat it carelessly. If Almighty God is actually the Lord’s appearance but I blindly abandon Him like this, won’t I offend the Lord?” Thinking of this, my heart calmed down a little. When Sister Lin was about to leave, she again and again invited my husband and me to investigate the local church of Almighty God. Finally, she gave us a copy of the book The Scroll Opened by the Lamb, and asked us to read it first. At that time, I thought: “That’s right. If I don’t read the book, how can I discern whether it’s the work of the Lord’s return?” So we received this book.
Afterward, my husband and I read the book whenever we had time. From Almighty God’s words, I understood many truths, such as the inside story of the Bible, the correct approach one should have to the Bible, the reason and the significance of God working in China, and other respects. The words of Almighty God are so bountiful that I understood the questions which had confused me for over ten years since I had started believing in the Lord. My husband and I were very excited, and we decided to go to the local church of Almighty God and look into God’s end-time work this weekend.
