God's Daily Words: Three Phases of Action | Section 10
All three stages of work were done by the same God; This is the greatest vision, and this is the only way to know God. All three stages of work could have been done only by God, no human being could have done such work on His behalf. That is, only God could have done His own work from the beginning to the present. Although the three phases of God's work were done in different ages and places, and each work was different, they were all the work of the same God. Of all visions, this is the greatest vision for man to know. If man can fully understand it, he can stand firm.
Today, the biggest problem facing various religions and denominations is that they do not know the work of the Holy Spirit, and cannot distinguish between the work of the Holy Spirit and the work that is not of the Holy Spirit, thus, they cannot tell whether this stage of work is done by Jehovah God, just like the last two stages of work. Even though people follow God, most of them still cannot tell if it is the right way. Man worries if this is the way personally led by God, if it is true that God became flesh, and most people still have no clue how to find out about such things. Followers of God could not decide the way. Therefore, the spoken messages have only a partial impact among these people and cannot be fully effective, thus affecting the livelihood of such people.
If man can see that in the three phases of work they were done by God in different ages, in different places, and by different people, even though the work is different, if man can see that they are all done by the same God, then it must be perfect and without error because it is the work of the same God. And although it may be contrary to the ideas of man, it cannot be denied that it is the work of one God. If man can say with certainty that this is the work of one God, man's ideas will be reduced to mere trifling, unworthy of mention. Because man's visions are vague, because man only knows Jehovah as God and Jesus as Lord, and because he is ambivalent about today's God in the flesh, many are devoted to the work of Jehovah and Jesus, are confused by the ideas of today's work, and most people are always suspicious and do not take today's work seriously.
Man has no idea about the last two invisible stages of action. Because man does not understand the reality of the last two stages of action, nor has he personally seen them. Because these stages of action cannot be imagined as desired by man. Whatever he came up with, there were no facts to prove such fancies and no one to correct them. Man gives his mind too much freedom, throws caution to the wind, and lets his imagination roam freely. This is because there are no facts to verify his imaginations, so regardless of whether a man's imaginations have any evidence, they become truth. Thus man believes in the God imagined in his mind and does not seek the real God. If one person has one kind of faith, a hundred people will have a hundred kinds of faith. Because man does not see the reality of God's work, he only hears it with his ears and does not see it with his eyes, so he has such beliefs.
Man has heard myths and stories, but rarely has he heard the knowledge of the truths of God's work. Thus, those who have been believers for only one year believe in God only through their own ideas. This also applies to those who have believed in God all their lives. Those who cannot see the facts can never escape a belief in ideas about God. Man believes that he has freed himself from the shackles of his old ideas and entered into new territory. Does not man know that the knowledge of those who cannot see the true face of God is nothing but opinions and rumours? Man thinks that his ideas are correct and without error, and that these ideas come from God. Today, when man sees the work of God, he lets go of the ideas he has built up for years. Imaginations of the past are also ideas.
