DID YOU COUNT THE COST

DID YOU COUNT THE COST

When you yes to Me and said I will follow you My Lord. You must count the cost. The destination is known (the kingdom) but the path is only known to Me. It's easy to figure the cost because it's always the same, (everything).
"For which of you, intending to build a tower, sitteth not down first, and counteth the cost, whether he have sufficient to finish it" ?Luke 14:28 (KJV)

I am not talking dollars and cents here, I am talking faith. Can you stay on top of the water, with your eyes on Me at all times or will you look down in fear when the waves are splashing around you. Your prayer life will become so intense and personal it will sound foreign even to you. In the western world you have never needed to reach this level of faith as a constant, but now you will. 
"And Hannah was in distress of soul, praying to the Lord and weeping bitterly. [14] Eli said to her, How long will you be intoxicated? Put wine away from you. [15] But Hannah answered, No, my lord, I am a woman of a sorrowful spirit. I have drunk neither wine nor strong drink, but I was pouring out my soul before the Lord." 1 Samuel 1:10,14-15 (AMP)

You will soon need creative miracles everyday to stay on the path I have called you too. Your life is no longer your own and nothing will be boring about the rest of this journey. No excuse for sin will be accepted, and instant obedience will be required. Your daily time with Me, will be critical to complete each day successfully. Never before have you be required to have faith like you will need now. You will no longer be able to go by sight, thats why creative miracles will be the norm.
"When the vessels were all full, she said to her son, Bring me another vessel. And he said to her, There is not a one left. Then the oil stopped multiplying. [7] Then she came and told the man of God. He said, Go, sell the oil and pay your debt, and you and your sons live on the rest." 2 Kings 4:6-7 (AMP)

You will now be required to let go of all that you depended on before and depend on Me, stepping from earth to kingdom as it is time and beginning of My kingdom is arriving on the earth. I am answering My Son's prayer, "Your kingdom come, Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven." Matthew 6:10 (AMP)

As My kingdom comes you are either in or your out, depending on the cost you have decided to pay. The majority have said, "we cannot follow you". 
"But there are some of you that believe not. For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were that believed not, and who should betray him. But still some of you fail to believe and trust and have faith. For Jesus knew from the first who did not believe and had no faith and who would betray Him and be false to Him. [65] And He said, This is why I told you that no one can come to Me unless it is granted him unless he is enabled to do so by the Father. [66] After this, many of His disciples drew back (returned to their old associations) and no longer accompanied Him. [67] Jesus said to the Twelve, Will you also go away? And do you too desire to leave Me? [68] Simon Peter answered, Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words (the message) of eternal life. [69] And we have learned to believe and trust, and more we have come to know surely that You are the Holy One of God, the Christ (the Anointed One), the Son of the living God." John 6:64-69 (AMP)

You can turn back at any time, but I ask you, "where will you go?". I will personally guarantee your success if you will not loose faith in Me. My peace will be with you at all times, and you will learn to enter into My rest, as you enter kingdom living.

Hebrews 4:1,6-12 (AMP)
THEREFORE, WHILE the promise of entering His rest still holds and is offered today, let us be afraid to distrust it, lest any of you should think he has come too late and has come short of reaching it. [6] Seeing then that the promise remains over from past times for some to enter that rest, and that those who formerly were given the good news about it and the opportunity, failed to appropriate it and did not enter because of disobedience, [7] Again He sets a definite day, a new Today, and gives another opportunity of securing that rest saying through David after so long a time in the words already quoted, Today, if you would hear His voice and when you hear it, do not harden your hearts. [8] This mention of a rest was not a reference to their entering into Canaan. For if Joshua had given them rest, He God would not speak afterward about another day. [9] So then, there is still awaiting a full and complete Sabbath-rest reserved for the true people of God; [10] For he who has once entered God''s rest also has ceased from the weariness and pain of human labors, just as God rested from those labors peculiarly His own. [11] Let us therefore be zealous and exert ourselves and strive diligently to enter that rest of God, to know and experience it for ourselves, that no one may fall or perish by the same kind of unbelief and disobedience into which those in the wilderness fell. [12] For the Word that God speaks is alive and full of power making it active, operative, energizing, and effective; it is sharper than any two-edged sword, penetrating to the dividing line of the breath of life (soul) and the immortal spirit, and of joints and marrow of the deepest parts of our nature, exposing and sifting and analyzing and judging the very thoughts and purposes of the heart.
