Elder Ephraim of Arizona: «Let us not lose our time in vain. The kingdom of heaven belongs to those who force themselves»

Let us not lose our time in vain. The kingdom of heaven belongs to those who force themselves. Bear in mind the departure of our souls, the final hour and moment of that difficult separation. 
Keep in mind how the demons seek to snatch the poor soul at this final hour and lead it to Hades. Oh, what grief! What pain of soul! How the soul sighs then! Alas, what a sorrowful situation it is in at that moment! How many promises a person will make to God that he will change his life, that he will walk the path of repentance and hardship, as long as he does not die!
All of us shall reach this hour and encounter the above and much more, and we shall then promise much more earnestly that we shall take the path of repentance and spiritual warfare. Let us imagine that this has already happened and that God has heard our request.
