 "Truly, truly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do, he will do also; and greater works than these he will do; because I go to the Father." (John 14:12)
This year it is expected that, through the Holy Spirit, God will perform explosive works of the power that will lead countless souls to attain salvation. Through such explosive power, God's providence and plans for the last days of the world will be manifested and fulfilled and His glory will be decisively revealed. Let's take a look at what has been accomplished up to now.
1. "The works that I do, he will do also; and greater works than these he will do"
During His public ministry Jesus performed many signs and wonders and those miracles attested to the truth that He is the Son of God who came down to the earth as the Savior for mankind. He promised the children of God that they would be able to manifest signs and wonders by faith, and showed such wonders and signs as a sampling of the manifestations of God's power.
Because the Lord Jesus performed those samples of God's powerful works for us and promised us in Mark 16:17 and John 14:12, "These signs will accompany those who have believed," and "Truly, truly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do, he will do also; and greater works than these he will do," we can also manifest those miraculous signs hundreds, thousands, or millions times in faith by the works of the Holy Spirit.
In early days of the church, many wonders and signs took place through the apostles of the Lord. Amazing miracles were performed through the apostle Peter, who dedicated himself to spreading the gospel to the Jews; the apostle Paul, who preached the gospel among the Gentiles until his death; and Deacons Philip and Stephen who were appointed as chief workers in the early church.
In this end of the ages that we are living, people say the earth is being populated with a third of the entire population that has existed during the 6,000-year history of human cultivation. It's a great pity that the world is becoming imbued with more sins and greater evils and many more souls are running toward eternal death even though the Day of the Great Judgment is drawing closer. Jesus prophesied in Luke 18:8, "However, when the Son of Man comes, will He find faith on the earth?" It's not easy to possess the faith that is worthy of receiving salvation in this sinful age. Nonetheless, God never gives up on this generation and eagerly desires to save just one more soul. So He has prepared everything for the explosive power of the Holy Spirit to be displayed.
2. How will the power of the Holy Spirit be explosively manifested?
The 'explosive power of the Holy Spirit' refers to 'amazing works that make anyone acknowledge those works have not been performed with might of men, but only with the power of God.' When those amazing works are manifested, anyone who has the slightest bit of goodness in his heart will have to acknowledge by saying, "God is really alive! God has done it!" A person will not be able to doubt even if he tried, nor will he be able to deny it even if he tried.
God has allowed for there to be many levels of spiritual training for the last a few years in order that this explosive power of the Holy Spirit might continually take place in the last days in this church. The last level of spiritual training was accomplished in 2010. It was the training of adjusting to the four different spiritual spaces, from the physical space where we live to the fourth dimension, the original space of God the Father.
Manifestations of the explosive power of the Holy Spirit require the church to meet various conditions comprehensively. As the level of the manifestations of God's powerful works increases, the church's financial blessing will have to increase exceedingly, church workers' abilities be improved remarkably, and the believers' faith grow up fast. Such a great amount of financial blessing is closely bound up with world situations and domestic economy.
For the manifestations of the explosive power of the Holy Spirit to be made possible requires the fulfillment of the many comprehensive conditions: secure financial support and the world-networking organization for making the world our parish and global broadcasting ministry of GCN. To fulfill those goals we will need many more workers who are qualified and able to accomplish them.
In addition, it is very crucial how the believers in the church who have experienced various powerful works of the Holy Spirit play their roles in the flow of the spirit. The believers who have true faith are the core fruits borne in the midst of the powerful works of the Holy Spirit and through the gospel of holiness.
During the spiritual training of adjustment to spiritual spaces of different dimensions, the hearts of the believers have been purified and their measures of faith have been restored to the level God wants. They have also cultivated spiritual love in their hearts and become united in Christ like the believers in the early churches. And many of these believers are coming forth as capable and reliable workers.
Dear brothers and sisters in Christ,
When the explosive works of the power of the Holy Spirit are displayed, we can fulfill the providence and plan of God He preplanned for the end time of the world. In other words, we will be able not only to construct the Canaan Sanctuary and the Grand Sanctuary but to evangelize the whole world with the fivefold gospel of holiness as well. Then the great glory of God the LORD will be revealed as prophesied in Habakkuk 2:14, "For the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the LORD, as the waters cover the sea." May many of you participate in the fulfillment of the providence of God through fervent intercession in prayer and be greatly rewarded in glory in the future, in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ I pray!
