“The Resolve Necessary to Pursue the Truth” | 2020 Chinese Christian Song

Almighty God said, “What should you pursue now? What you should pursue is whether you are capable of expressing the deeds of God, whether you can become an expression and a manifestation of God, and whether you are fit to be used by Him. How much work has God really done in you? How much have you seen, how much have you touched? How much have you experienced, and tasted? Whether God has tested you, dealt with you, or disciplined you — no matter what, His actions and His work have been carried out on you, but as a believer in God, as someone who is willing to pursue being perfected by Him, are you able to express God’s actions through your own practical experience? Can you live out God’s word through this? Are you able to provide for others through your own practical experience, and expend yourself for the sake of God’s work? In order to bear witness for God’s actions you must be able to express what His actions are, and this is done through your experience, knowledge, and the suffering you have endured. Are you someone who bears witness for God’s actions? Do you have this aspiration? If you are able to bear witness to His name, and even more, His actions, as well as live out the image that He requires of His people, then you are a witness for God. How do you actually bear witness for God? Seeking and longing to live out God’s word, bearing witness through your words, allowing people to know and to see His actions — if you truly seek all of this, God will perfect you.”

Excerpted from “Those Who Are to Be Made Perfect Must Undergo Refinement” in The Word Appears in the Flesh

In order to be perfected by God, we have to seek out for God’s words, undergo hardships, and also live out God’s words. This would require bearing witness to God when facing hardships, and experiencing God’s arrangement in our lives. Thereby, I want to share a song to all of you: “The Resolve Necessary to Pursue the Truth”

“The Resolve Necessary to Pursue the Truth” | 2020 Chinese Christian Song

Do you have the determination to understand the truth, gain the truth, and ultimately be perfected by God?
You must reach a stage whereby your resolution does not change no matter what environment you encounter;
that is what it means to be sincere, and only that is a genuine love of the truth. You must be such a person.
It will not do to cower down or become negative, giving up your own resolution
whenever some problem or difficulty arises.
You must possess the strength of one who is willing to risk life and limb:
“No matter what happens,
even if it is necessary for me to die, I will never abandon my resolve or give up on this goal.”
If you do, then no hardship will be able to stop you. God will make things happen for you.

You must have this kind of understanding whenever something occurs:
“No matter what happens,
it is all a part of my achieving my goal, and it is God’s doing.
There is weakness in me, but I will not be negative.
I thank God for the love He bestows upon me and for arranging such an environment for me.
I must not abandon my desire and my resolution;
giving up would be tantamount to making a compromise with Satan,
tantamount to self-destruction, and tantamount to betraying God.”
This is the kind of mindset you must have.
No matter what others say or how they act,
and no matter how God treats you, your determination must not waver.
No matter how others act, and no matter how God treats you,
your determination must not waver.
