What reward is granted to the wise virgins? Will the foolish virgins fall into disaster?

Relevant Words of God:

After the human I am was anointed, you followed Me (at this time I was the Lamb), so under My leadership, you have experienced all sorts of pain, disaster, the world’s abandonment and defaming, the abandonment of family, and live in My blessing. These are all the marriage feast of the Lamb. I use the marriage feast because all that I lead you into doing is for gaining you. But this is all part of the feast. In the future, one could also say today, everything you enjoy, everything you gain, and the kingly power you share with Me are all the feast. My love comes to all those who love Me. Those I love will remain until forever, will never be abolished, will forever be within My love. It is forever!

Relevant Words of God:

In the past, people have made predictions of “five wise virgins, five foolish virgins”; although the prediction is not accurate, it is not entirely wrong, so I can give you some explanation. Five wise virgins and five foolish virgins certainly do not both represent the number of people, nor do they represent one type of people respectively.

Relevant Words of God:

Tell Me, do you know what spirit you are of? Can you touch your own spirit? If you can feel or touch your spirit, then it is not part of you. It is a thing not of you; it is something extra introduced from outside of you. Do you understand? Are you able to feel your soul? Are you able to touch your soul? Are you able to sense what your soul is doing? You don’t know, do you? If you are able to grasp some such thing, then it is another spirit inside you forcefully doing something—controlling your actions and words. It is something extraneous to you, not of your own body. Those with an evil spirit know this best.

What are the differences between the work of the Holy Spirit and the work of evil spirits?

What are the differences between the work of the Holy Spirit and the work of evil spirits?

Relevant Words of God:

You must understand what things arise from God and what things arise from Satan. The things that arise from God cause you to become ever clearer about visions, and they cause you to get closer and closer to God, earnestly sharing love with brothers and sisters; you are capable of showing consideration toward God’s burden, and your God-loving heart does not abate; there is a road ahead for you to walk. The things that arise from Satan cause you to lose visions and all you had before is gone; you become estranged from God, you have no love for brothers and sisters and you have a hateful heart. You become desperate, you no longer wish to live the church life, and your God-loving heart is no more. This is Satan’s work and is also the consequence brought about by the work of evil spirits.

Relevant Words of God:

What work comes from Satan? In the work that comes from Satan, the visions in people are vague and abstract, and they are without normal humanity, the motivations behind their actions are wrong, and although they wish to love God, there are always accusations within them, and these accusations and thoughts are always interfering within them, constraining the growth of their life, and stopping them from having normal conditions before God. Which is to say, as soon as there is the work of Satan within people, their hearts can’t be at peace before God, they don’t know what to do with themselves, the sight of an assembly makes them want to run away, and they are unable to close their eyes when others pray.

How can one obtain the work of the Holy Spirit?

How can one obtain the work of the Holy Spirit?

Relevant Words of God:

The work of the Holy Spirit changes from day to day, rising higher with each step; the revelation of tomorrow becomes even higher than today’s, step by step climbing ever higher. Such is the work by which God perfects man. If man cannot keep pace, then he may be forsaken at any time. If man does not have an obedient heart, then he cannot follow to the end. The old age has passed; now is a new age.

Relevant Words of God:

When the Holy Spirit works, people are able to actively enter; they are not passive or forced, but are proactive. When the Holy Spirit works, people are glad and willing, and they are willing to obey, and happy to humble themselves, and even though they are pained and fragile inside, they have the resolve to cooperate, they suffer gladly, they are able to obey, and they are untainted by human will, untainted by the thinking of man, and are certainly untainted by human desires and motivations.
