I often hear ppl saying that if it is not from God, i will face alot of difficulties but if it is from Him, he will open the door for me to make it smooth.
Is that true?

Im assuming you mean the Christian God.
If so, that means no.
The whole Gods Testing thing, is putting people through suffering to test their faith.
Stigmata... thats supposed to be from Jehovah, Jesus or even Mary. Stigmata doesnt look to pretty.
"Alas, O Lord to what a state dost thou bring those who love thee!" - St. Teresa of Avila (suffered stigmata)

No that is not true The Bible says that The way of the Devil is a wide open road and easy to travel, but the way of God is a Narrow path full of rocks and twist and harder to follow. If your road is way to easy you should take a look at your life. I mean sometimes as a Christian it will be easy, but a lot of the times it will be hard because people will make fun of you, say things about you and even sometimes hurt you, but rejoice for great is your reward in heaven.

Everything comes from God. Is depend what is your goal in life. He is directing everyone from within the heart, But in this world everything is difficult, nothing is easy. Of course, when we surrender to Him, that is another thing. But if we just want to have Him as our servant, to fulfill our material desires, that is no good.

If it is supported by Scriptures and is consitent with the character of God... you may at that time assume it is from God.

Not really. Satan can grease the skids to Hell, and then think of poor Job. He was blessed by YHVH, but for a while he had a really rough time.

The Holy Spirit who lives and dwells within you will confirm it in your heart as to whether it's right or wrong.

Clearly not.
If you ask a hundred different people you'll get a hundred different philosophies. Even if they are all the same religion. Believe none of it.

God's way is not always the easy way...usually it isn't ....but it is always consistent with Scripture. It will never violate His Word.
