Well Tommy The cost for following god is great but that depends on how far you are willing to go. Now someone may not be looking as far as i am and thus may not go through as much but they are still of christ. All Jesus asks of us is to love and obey him which many people do, I appreacate your reply but i think you and i have different views which is okay because no one person is the same.

Tommy, you chastise Billy Graham without knowing the very basics of his ministry. He very much believed in the need to repent and turn from one's sins to encounter God's grace and believe on him. If there's one area he didn't cover well, that was discipleship.

Blain, good on you, mate. God will honour you for stepping out in Spirit and Truth. Be blessed, brother!

Thank you everyone for your prayers Also god sent me a vision. You see I was going to texas for my cousins and I noticed when we were there my favorite book called gods promises for everyday was not in my bag but i thought for sure i packed it. and i didn't notice it was not there until we were leaving to go back to oklahoma and we were staying at my friend pauls house for the night and I prayed to god to please somehow let my book still be at my house because i love that book. That very night I had a dream that my book was on my bed and i could tell it was mine because of the way the golden letters on my book are really pretty. I woke up and thought well if that was a vision from god there are two possibiliyies here. Either my book is on my bed at home or it's somewhere in my room. Of course i wasn't sure if it really was a vision or not but there was a small whisper in the back of my mind saying to trust god and wouldn't you know it when i got home my book was on my desk! Amazing!

Hello Blaine. You sound like I did when I was a new Christian. God had other plans for my life. Not every Christian goes through the same trials. God is going to transform you. Its not for you to boast about what is going to happen to you because you desire to follow Jesus. A man who is full of the Holy Spirit and the Word, even his enemies will be at peace with him. Never work alone in your ministry. Ask God for clarity and Spiritul discernment. Ask Him for a God fearing woman to marry. Ask him to put God fearing men in your life and God fearing woman in your wifes life. Never work alone. God bless you and keep you and your family from falling.
I'm sorry i did not mean to boast, but yes I agree God will transform me i'm counting on it. In fact i am desperately waiting for this transformation but it's a steady progress so i have to be patient

The road is not as hard as it seems my brother in Christ.The Christ says his yoke is easy,we are the ones who make it hard think not that turning to Christ is the end of all things we are made to be in the world but not to be of it.Ask god to lead you as he will for it is not our will but his be done and remember Jesus died for our sins we must repent and turn to him like new born children willing to submit to his will our fathers will.The price has been paid my brother and never forget when the heart is with the treasure the surly the treasure is with the heart please continue to study just obey his will and love your neighbor like u love your self and if possible keep your prayers between u and the most high it's a personal matter

Cool =) I had something like that, but it was a little different. In my dream, my Angel shirt had gold on it, and it was sparkling. I don't know why I didn't choose to wear it.... Always make sure to pay attention to dreams and visions like that =)

I once wondered after a prayer meeting in my younger days how much room there was for us all in heaven.....that night I dreamed and as I went walking on sheer gold roads I could hear my own steps echo off all the buildings and at length Jesus appeared in the road and I woke up ...I get it "there is more room for us than there are of us..." funny had not thought about it in years ...something I read triggered it I suppose . Glory to God our lives well lived as we say thank you .forgive often love always .
