Discern the Scheme of the Enemy

At that time two sisters from the mountain, whom I admired most, wrote two long letters to persuade me to change in some way. They wrote that through forced learning for months they recognized that the official did not interfere with our belief. However, since we still lived on the earth, we must understand the government's policy and law. They also mentioned that it would be valuable if we sacrificed for the Lord; however, if we died because of our misunderstanding, it would be meaningless. It seemed that every sentence of those statements was reasonable. Did God also perceive it in this way? Why had the House of God been insisting not to attend the worldly organization? How I hoped that what they said was regarded as right before God; then the persecution of the cross would be gone. I had to have a clear view regarding the questions mentioned above, lest I take the wrong way and offend God. Therefore, when I prayed in the middle of the night, I always sought for God's direction and asked the Lord to let me discern in the Spirit. Just as a child without bias I prayed to the Father to instruct me. A few days later, God revealed this mystery to me in a vision. That night after I prayed, I went back to my room to sleep. At first, I felt there was such an evil power that I was absolutely terrified. I prayed silently in my heart, "the blood of Lamb overcomes!" Suddenly, the darkness was over, I heard the angels talking and I knew that the Lord was with me. I should grasp this chance to pray and I would be answered. My heart was so anxious that I was afraid to lose this chance. What to pray? The Holy Spirit instructed me: "God's heart is love. Ask for this greatest gift." So I asked repeatedly and earnestly: "O God! I pray to you to give me your love." Next, the Holy Spirit guided me to pray earnestly: "O God! Please give me authority!" In the vision, I saw my little right hand was full of authority. Lastly, the Holy Spirit led me to ask repeatedly: "O God, please let me discern the devil's cunning scheme!" I saw myself beating leg by hand and asked earnestly. In the twinkling of an eye, a vision was unfolded before me. I saw a bright big lobby. On the side of it was an idol niche, and inside of it was an idol fully armed. It was postured as if pulling a bow to shoot an arrow, but it was covered up by colorful flowers and green grass. The Holy Spirit controlled me so that I could not help but use my right hand to point at it and said: "It darts the flaming arrow at people everyday!" Next, I saw there was an extremely tall and great idol right in the middle of the lobby. It was a few meters tall and was pure white all over. Its attitude was kind, and its head was bowed and wore a smile just as the Amida Buddha in the temple. However, there was the power of the devil radiating from the back of these idols. I was surprised and wanted to know why the look of the devil was so pure and kind? Immediately, the Holy Spirit used my own mouth shouting: "The angel of light!" At this moment, I moved back from it. At the same time, I heard the prayer of the believers: "Bind on earth and it will be bound in heaven; loose on earth and it will be loosed in heaven." I understood in my heart that we should not be deceived by the angel of light, but pray with the authority of the throne to destroy the enemy's evil scheme.

By then the external conditions were getting darker and darker; almost all of the visible family fellowship was banned. There were kind-hearted elders in the Lord who knew the information and sent people to bring letters to me to warn me, if I continued to have fellowship meetings I would be arrested. God guided me, a weak instrument to work courageously by trusting in Him. Three to four family fellowships were revived. At this time, I did not have to say anything but saw the Holy Spirit at work. God was with us. Usually we read several verses of the Scriptures. Then everyone knelt down and wept bitterly, and we prayed with one heart so earnestly that we were not willing to leave. We also used the authority that God gave us to ask God to destroy the enemy's scheme.
