Almighty God, Christ of the last days, has quietly descended among man brimming with righteousness and majesty, love and compassion. He brings the Age of Grace to an end and ushers in the Age of Kingdom, and expresses new words and does the work of judgment beginning with the house of God. Though no one welcomes God’s coming, He still humbly hides Himself in the flesh, works in many ways, and speaks in various perspectives to supply the needs of man’s life. Gradually, people’s hearts are conquered by these words possessed of authority, and they recognize Almighty God is exactly the return of the Lord Jesus. All of them have great excitement, and follow the footsteps of God and return before the throne of God in succession. It can be seen that where there is the expression of God in the new age, there is the appearance of God; where there are the new words of God, there are the footsteps of God. It is not difficult to search for the footsteps of God!

1. Almighty God Quietly Walked into the Heart of Each of Us
Almighty God Quietly Walked into the Heart of Each of Us
God is silent, and has never appeared to us,
yet His work has never stopped.
He looks upon all lands, and commands all things,
and beholds all the words and deeds of man.
His management is conducted in steps and according to His plan.
It proceeds silently, without dramatic effect,
yet His footsteps advance ever closer to mankind,
and His judgment seat is deployed in the universe at the speed of lightning,
immediately followed by the descent of His throne among us.
What a majestic scene that is, what a stately and solemn tableau.
Like a dove, and like a roaring lion, the Spirit arrives among us all.
He is wise, He is righteous and majestic,
He quietly arrives among us
possessed of authority and filled with love and compassion.
No one is aware of God’s arrival, no one welcomes God’s arrival,
and, moreover, no one knows all that God will do,
no one knows all that God will do.
Man’s life remains unchanged;
his heart is no different, and the days go by as usual.
God lives among us like an ordinary person,
as a most insignificant follower and an ordinary believer.

Man’s life remains unchanged;
his heart is no different, and the days go by as usual.
God lives among us like an ordinary person,
as a most insignificant follower and an ordinary believer.
He has His own pursuits, His own goals,
and, moreover, He has divinity not possessed by ordinary men.
No one has noticed the existence of His divinity,
and no one has perceived the difference between His substance and that of man.
We live together with Him, unconstrained and unafraid,
for we see Him as nothing more than an insignificant believer.
He watches, watches our every move,
and all of our thoughts and ideas are laid bare before Him.
We live together with Him, unconstrained and unafraid,

He watches, watches our every move,
and all of our thoughts and ideas are laid bare before Him.
No one takes an interest in God’s existence,
no one has any imagination of His function,
and, moreover, no one has any suspicion about who He is.
We merely continue our pursuits, as if God has nothing to do with us….
We merely continue our pursuits, as if God has nothing to do with us….
We merely continue our pursuits, as if God has nothing to do with us….
And yet it is this ordinary person hidden among people
who is doing the new work of saving us.
He does not clarify anything for us, nor does He tell us why He has come.
He merely does the work He intends to do in steps, and according to His plan.
His words and utterances become ever more frequent.
From consoling, exhorting, reminding, and warning, to reproaching and disciplining;
from a tone that is gentle and kind, to words that are fierce and majestic
—they all instill both compassion and trepidation in man.
Everything that He says hits home at the secrets hidden deep within us,
His words sting our hearts, sting our spirits, and leave us ashamed and humiliated.
From Him we enjoy an unending supply of living water,
and thanks to Him we live face-to-face with God.
Unbeknownst to us, this insignificant man
<
has led us into step after step of God’s work.
We undergo countless trials,
are subjected to innumerable chastenings, and tested by death.
We learn of God’s righteous and majestic disposition,
enjoy, too, His love and compassion,
come to appreciate God’s great power and wisdom,
witness the loveliness of God,
and behold God’s eager desire to save man.
His words cause us to die, and cause us to be reborn;
His words bring us comfort,
yet also leave us wracked with guilt and a sense of indebtedness;
His words bring us joy and peace, but also great pain.
Sometimes we are as lambs to the slaughter in His hands;
sometimes we are like the apple of His eye, and enjoy His love and affection;
sometimes we are like His enemy, turned to ashes by His wrath in His eyes.
We are the mankind saved by Him, we are the maggots in His eyes,
and we are the lost lambs that He thinks of finding day and night.
No one apart from Him can know all of our thoughts,
or have such a grasp of our nature and substance,
or judge the rebelliousness and corruption of mankind,
or speak to us and work among us like this on behalf of the God of heaven.
No one except for Him can possess the authority, wisdom, and dignity of God;
the disposition of God and what He has and is
are issued forth, in their entirety, from Him.
No one apart from Him can show us the way and bring us light.
No one apart from Him can reveal
the mysteries God has undisclosed from creation until today.
No one apart from Him can save us from Satan’s bondage and our corrupt disposition.
From that moment onwards, our minds become conscious,
and our spirits seem to be revived:
This ordinary, insignificant person,
who lives among us and has long been rejected by us
—is he not the Lord Jesus,
who is ever in our thoughts, and whom we long for night and day?
This ordinary, insignificant person,
who lives among us and has long been rejected by us
—is he not the Lord Jesus,
who is ever in our thoughts, and whom we long for night and day?
It is He! It’s really Him! He is our God!
He is the truth, the way, and the life!
The love of God extends forth like the water of a spring,
and is given to you, and to me, and to him,
and to all those who truly seek the truth and await the appearance of God.
Just as the moon always follows the sun, the work of God never ceases,
and is carried out upon you, upon me, upon him,
and upon all those who follow the footprints of God
and accept the judgment and chastisement of God.

2. How to Search for God’s Footprints
How to Search for God’s Footprints
Since we are searching for the footprints of God,
we must search, search for God’s will,
for the words of God, for the utterances of God,
for the words of God, for the utterances of God
—for where there are the new words of God, there is the voice of God,
and where there are the footsteps of God, there are the deeds of God.
Where there is the expression of God, there is the appearance of God,
and where there is the appearance of God,
there exists the truth, the way, and the life.
While seeking the footprints of God,
you all ignored the word that “God is the truth, the way, and the life.”
So when many people receive the truth,
they do not believe that they have found the footprints of God
and much less acknowledge the appearance of God.
What a serious error that is!
The appearance of God cannot be reconciled with the conceptions of man,
much less can God appear at the request of man.
God makes His own choices, makes His own choices
and has His own plans when He does His work;
moreover, He has His own objectives, and His own methods, His own methods.
When He does, does His work,
He does not need to discuss with man, or to seek the advice of man,
much less notify each and every person. This is the disposition of God
and furthermore should be recognized by everyone.
If you desire to witness the appearance of God,
if you wish to follow the footprints of God,
then you must first transcend your own conceptions.
You must not demand that God do this or that,
much less should you place Him within your own confines
and limit Him to your own conceptions.
Instead, you should ask
how you should seek the footprints of God, accept the appearance of God,
and how you should submit to the new work of God;
that is what should be done by man.
Since man is not the truth, and is not possessed, not possessed of the truth,
since man is not the truth, and is not possessed, not possessed of the truth,
man should seek, seek, accept, and obey,
man should seek, accept, and obey.
