When hardships come, begin to pray:

“O God! I wish to satisfy You,

enduring hardship to please Your heart,

no matter how great the setbacks I face.

Even if I must give my life,

still I work to satisfy You.”

With this resolve, when you pray,

you will stand firm in your testimony.

Every time truth is put into practice,

each refinement, each time they are tried,

each time God’s work is upon them,

people endure great pain.

This is a test, a battle within,

the true price to be paid.

If there’s something you want to say,

but it doesn’t feel right inside,

if it does not benefit your brothers and sisters,

if they may be hurt, do not say anything,

preferring to be pained and struggle within,

for these words cannot satisfy God’s will.

Every time truth is put into practice,

each refinement, each time they are tried,

each time God’s work is upon them,

people endure great pain.

This is a test, a battle within,

the true price to be paid.

The battle inside wages on,

but you are willing to suffer pain,

to give up that which you love,

enduring hardship to satisfy God,

suffering but never giving in to flesh,

satisfying the heart of God,

so you will be comforted as well.

This is paying the price desired by God.

Every time truth is put into practice,

each refinement, each time they are tried,

each time God’s work is upon them,

people endure great pain.

This is a test, a battle within,

the true price to be paid, oh,

the true price to be paid.

The Church of Almighty God, Eastern Lightning, came into being because of the appearance and work of Almighty God—the returned Lord Jesus—Christ of the last days. It is made up of all those who accept Almighty God's work in the last days and are conquered and saved by His words. It was entirely founded by Almighty God Himself and is led by Him as the Shepherd. It was definitely not created by a person. Christ is the truth, the way, and the life. God's sheep hear God's voice. As long as you read the words of Almighty God, you will see God has appeared.
