God speaks his words and does his work according to different ages. In different ages, he speaks different words. God does not keep regulations or repeat his work, and he never stops in his past work. He is an ever-new and never-old God and speaks new words every day. You should keep all that you should keep today. This is man’s responsibility and duty. Practice according to God’s present light and practical word. This is the key. God does not keep regulations. He can speak from various positions, manifesting his wisdom and almightiness. Whether he speaks from the position of the Spirit, from the position of the Person, or from the position of a third party, God is God. You cannot say that he is not God because he speaks from the position of the Person. Some people have notions because God speaks from different positions. Such people have no knowledge of God and God’s work. If God always spoke from one position, wouldn’t people have a fixed view of God? Will God allow people to have a fixed view of him? No matter from which position he speaks, he has his purpose. If God always spoke from the position of the Spirit, could you contact him? So, he speaks from the position of a third party to supply you and lead you into reality. Everything God does is right. No matter what, it is done by God. Do not be doubtful. As he is God, no matter from which position he speaks, he is God. This is a never-changing truth. No matter what work he does, he is God. God’s substance will never change! Peter loved God so much and was after God’s heart, but God did not testify that he was the Lord and the Christ. This is because one’s substance determines who he is, and this cannot be changed. God does not work by regulations, and he achieves the results of it through various ways of working, causing people to know more about him. His every way of working is to help people know him and to perfect people. No matter what way of working he uses, it is for building up and perfecting people. His one way of working may continue for a long time, but it is for tempering people’s faith. So do not be doubtful. All these are the steps of God’s working, and you have to obey them all.

Now we talk about entering into reality, but do not talk about going to heaven or reigning and ruling. We only talk about pursuing to enter into reality. It is most practical to pursue this. It is not realistic to talk about reigning and ruling. People are very curious and they still measure God’s work of today according to their religious notions. They have experienced so many ways of God’s working, but they still do not know God’s work, still seek to see signs and wonders, and still expect to see whether God’s word will be fulfilled. Aren’t they too blind? If God’s word will not be fulfilled, will you still believe that he is God? Now there are many such people in the church who are waiting to see signs and wonders. They say that if God’s word has been fulfilled, he is God, and that if God’s word has not been fulfilled, he is not God. Then do you believe in God because his word has been fulfilled or because he is God Godself? You should have a right viewpoint of believing in God! Seeing that God’s word has not been fulfilled, you run away. Are you a believer in God? In believing in God, you should let God control you in everything as he wishes and obey all his work. God spoke so many words in the Old Testament. Which word have you seen fulfilled with your own eyes? Can you say Jehovah is not God because you have not seen that? Some people want to run away when they see that God’s word has not been fulfilled. Whoever wants to run away may run away right now. No one will stop you! You may have a try and see if you can run away. Even if you run away, you will have to turn back. God controls you by his word. You cannot live if you leave the church and God’s word. If you do not believe this, you may experience it. Do you think you can leave as you like? God’s Spirit controls you, and you cannot leave. This is God’s administration! Some people want to have a try. Go ahead! If you say that this person is not God, you may do a thing that offends God and see what he will do to you. Maybe you will not die physically and still can eat and dress yourself, but you will feel miserable in your heart, being suppressed and suffering mentally. That will be a greatest suffering. If a person is tortured and wrecked mentally, he cannot bear it. If you suffer physically, maybe you can endure it. But if you are suppressed and tortured for a long time mentally, you simply cannot bear it. Now you cannot see any signs and wonders, but none of you can run away, because God controls people by his word. Although people cannot sense or see anything and there are no facts accomplished, they can in no way run away. Isn’t this God’s doing? Today God has come to earth to supply people with life. He will not always perform signs and wonders to coax people so that a peaceful relationship may be maintained between God and man, as people have imagined. All those who do not pay attention to life but only expect God to perform signs and wonders are Pharisees! At that time it was the Pharisees who crucified Jesus. You measure God according to your own viewpoint of believing in God, believing in him if his word has been fulfilled but doubting him or even blaspheming him if his word has not been fulfilled. Doesn’t this mean that you have crucified God? Such people are all the ones who do not attend to their duties but seek ease and comfort!
