You Must Go Through Many Hardships to Enter the Kingdom of God

choose your own language

(Prayed and received the Lord’s words on  July 10 , 2025)

You must understand that trials and hardships are sometimes good for you—they help you prepare to return to your heavenly home and enjoy eternal blessings. But the gate to the Kingdom of Heaven is narrow. You must give your full effort, stay holy, and be worthy of the identity required to enter. If you value eternal life in the future, then set your heart firmly and make it your life’s mission to strive toward entering the Kingdom.

So what is your life like now? Even if you encounter difficulties—whether in smooth seasons or hard times—nothing should be able to stop or change your determination to pursue eternal life. Everything you experience and every environment you face is meant to prepare you for your return to heaven. You are meant to come back—to the home I prepared for you from the beginning.

Use your circumstances and the events you go through to examine your faith in Me. When things don’t go your way, do you still cling to your faith and refuse to leave Me? Examine your love for Me—do you obey My commandments because you love Me? Examine your spiritual condition—wherever you find impurity or unrighteousness, throw it off, change, and renew your spiritual life. Become a holy person who is truly worthy to enter My eternal Kingdom.

To enter God’s Kingdom, you must go through many hardships. You need to throw away the part of yourself that belonged to the world, the part that was bound by selfish desires and greed. You also need to discard your old sinful character—the version of yourself that didn’t walk the path of righteousness. You must strive to separate yourself from the world, to be holy and set apart for Me. Do not befriend the ways of this world, and do not follow its trends. You must resist the devil and the temptations of those who live only for themselves, whose hearts have no true God. If you truly care about eternal life, then you must strengthen your soul and hold firmly to your faith.

Your time on earth is limited. Chase after what truly matters. Those who work hard in everything with the goal of entering the Kingdom are truly blessed. Do not seek after this world or anything made by human hands—you are only temporary residents here. This world is not your true home. Long for the eternal home I have prepared for you in heaven. And not only you—those around you should also turn back to Me. Return together and enjoy the eternal blessings of the Kingdom of Heaven.

The path toward heaven on this earth is short—it ends when your breath ends. So no matter what difficulties you face, keep your faith and persevere to the very end. Strive to enter the Kingdom of eternal life, and if you do, you will surely receive the crown of life.

Scripture 

Acts

Chapter 14 Verse 22

strengthening the souls of the disciples,

encouraging them to continue in the faith,

and saying that through many tribulations

we must enter the kingdom of God.

Deuteronomy

Chapter 8 Verses 1-7, 11-19

“The whole commandment that I command you today you shall be careful to do,

that you may live and multiply,

and go in and possess the land

that the Lord swore to give to your fathers.

And you shall remember the whole way

that the Lord your God has led you these forty years in the wilderness,

that he might humble you,

testing you to know what was in your heart,

whether you would keep his commandments or not.

And he humbled you and let you hunger

and fed you with manna,

which you did not know,

nor did your fathers know,

that he might make you know

that man does not live by bread alone,

but man lives by every word

that comes from the mouth of the Lord.

Your clothing did not wear out on you

and your foot did not swell these forty years.

Know then in your heart

that, as a man disciplines his son,

the Lord your God disciplines you.

So you shall keep the commandments of the Lord your God

by walking in his ways and by fearing him.

For the Lord your God is bringing you into a good land,

a land of brooks of water,

of fountains and springs,

flowing out in the valleys and hills,

…

Take care lest you forget the Lord your God

by not keeping his commandments

and his rules and his statutes,

which I command you today,

lest, when you have eaten and are full

and have built good houses and live in them,

and when your herds and flocks multiply

and your silver and gold is multiplied

and all that you have is multiplied,

then your heart be lifted up,

and you forget the Lord your God,

who brought you out of the land of Egypt,

out of the house of slavery,

who led you through the great and terrifying wilderness,

with its fiery serpents and scorpions and thirsty ground

where there was no water,

who brought you water out of the flinty rock,

who fed you in the wilderness with manna

that your fathers did not know,

that he might humble you and test you,

to do you good in the end.

Beware lest you say in your heart,

‘My power and the might of my hand have gotten me this wealth.’

You shall remember the Lord your God,

for it is he who gives you power to get wealth,

that he may confirm his covenant that he swore to your fathers,

as it is this day.

And if you forget the Lord your God

and go after other gods and serve them and worship them,

I solemnly warn you today that you shall surely perish.

Matthew

Chapter 11 Verse 12

From the days of John the Baptist until now

the kingdom of heaven has suffered violence,

and the violent take it by force.

James

Chapter 1 Verses 12-18, 21

Blessed is the man who remains steadfast under trial,

for when he has stood the test

he will receive the crown of life,

which God has promised to those who love him.

Let no one say when he is tempted, “I am being tempted by God,”

for God cannot be tempted with evil,

and he himself tempts no one.

But each person is tempted

when he is lured and enticed by his own desire.

Then desire when it has conceived gives birth to sin,

and sin when it is fully grown brings forth death.

Do not be deceived, my beloved brothers.

Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above,

coming down from the Father of lights

with whom there is no variation or shadow due to change.

Of his own will he brought us forth by the word of truth,

that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures.

…

Therefore put away all filthiness and rampant wickedness

and receive with meekness the implanted word,

which is able to save your souls.

Hebrews

Chapter 11 Verses 13-16

These all died in faith,

not having received the things promised,

but having seen them and greeted them from afar,

and having acknowledged

that they were strangers and exiles on the earth.

For people who speak thus make it clear

that they are seeking a homeland.

If they had been thinking of that land from which they had gone out,

they would have had opportunity to return.

But as it is, they desire a better country,

that is, a heavenly one.

Therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God,

for he has prepared for them a city.
