Eastern Lightning | The Hymn of God's Word "The Work of God Continues to Advance"

I

The work of God continues to advance;

although the purpose remains unchanged,

the means of His work constantly change,

and hence so do those who follow Him.

The more work that God performs,

the more man knows, knows Him completely,

the more man’s disposition changes

along with His work accordingly.

The work of God continues to advance;

His work is never old and always new.

He never repeats work of old,

only work never done before is what He shall do.

II

God does not sustain the same work;

it’s ever-changing and always new.

It’s the same as God speaking new words

and doing new work every day on you.

This is the work that God does;

the key lies in “wondrous,” “wondrous” and “new.”

“God is changeless and always will be God.”

This is a saying that’s indeed true.

The work of God continues to advance;

His work is never old and always new.

He never repeats work of old,

only work never done before is what He shall do.

III

But as God’s work is ever-changing,

for those who don’t know the Holy Spirit’s work,

and absurd men who don’t know the truth,

they end up becoming God’s opponents.

God’s essence will never change;

God’s always God and never Satan.

But this doesn’t mean that His work is changeless,

and as constant as His essence.

You say that God is never-changing, but

how do you explain “never old, always new”?

God’s work keeps expanding and changing,

He shows His will and makes it known to man too.

The work of God continues to advance;

His work is never old and always new.

He never repeats work of old,

only work never done before is what He shall do.

Only work never done before is what He shall do.

from Follow the Lamb and Sing New Songs

Since mankind was corrupted by Satan, God has never stopped His management plan for saving mankind. Mankind, however, doesn’t know the truth, much less does it know God. As a result, every time God is incarnated to begin new work, He is rejected and persecuted by those in power and by religious groups. Two thousand years ago, when Jesus became flesh, He was persecuted and arrested by the Roman government and the Jewish faith, and in the end He was crucified. In the last days, since God returned to flesh in China to do the work of judgment, He has been cruelly persecuted and hunted by the CCP government, and also cursed, framed, condemned, and rejected by all denominations and sects of Christianity. It is a clear indication of man’s corruption and evil. We can imagine how hard it is for God to carry out His work in such a fortress of demons, where black clouds weigh heavily and devils wield power. Nevertheless, God is almighty, and He has supreme authority and power. No matter how rampant the forces of Satan are, no matter how they resist and launch attacks, it is all to no avail. In just about 20 years, the gospel of the kingdom of Almighty God has spread across the whole of Mainland China under severe oppression. Several hundred thousand churches have sprung up across the country and millions of people have submitted to the name of Almighty God. Almost instantaneously, all denominations and sects turned desolate, for God’s sheep have heard God’s voice, and they have already come back following the voice, fallen down before God, and been personally watered and shepherded by God. This has fulfilled the prophecy in the Bible that “all nations shall flow to it.”
