Then Peter began to say unto him, Lo, we have left all, and have followed thee.
Verily I say unto you, There is no man that hath left house, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my sake, and the gospel's, But he shall receive an hundredfold now in this time, houses, and brethren, and sisters, and mothers, and children, and lands, with persecutions; and in the world to come eternal life. But many that are first shall be last; and the last first. Mark 10:28-31

If we have to give up anything for the Lord, he has something better in store for us.

It matters not what earthen treasures and any thing else we lose in this life , TO GAIN ONLY KNOWING OUR TRUE TREASURE JESUS CHRIST , THAT IS WHAT MATTERS .
TO THE LORD BE ALL GLORY AND TO THE LORD BE ALL PRAISE .

Verily I say unto you, There is no man that hath left house, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my sake, and the gospel's, But he shall receive an hundredfold now in this time, houses, and brethren, and sisters, and mothers, and children, and lands, with persecutions; and in the world to come eternal life. But many that are first shall be last; and the last first. Mark 10:28-31 Peter was thinking about how he and the other disciples had left everything to follow Jesus. The Lord does not just tell him that they will receive a hundred fold in the next life. He says they will receive in this life "houses, and brethren, and sisters, and mothers, and children, and lands." There is one negative though, and that is these things will come with persecutions. The true children of God will suffer persecutions from the false brethren and sinners. Jesus promises that those who have left everything for him will inherit eternal life in the world to come. It will not always be easy following the Lord, but it will be worth it after all. I will also add one thing. It may not always be easy, but the peace we have makes it worthwhile, knowing that the Lord is with us, no matter what we are going through. He is a friend that sticks closer than a brother.

Just to make sure on something . Ponder what JESUS said , then look at the church in acts for confirmation . WHEN JESUS said you shall receive a hundred fold even more IN THIS LIFE TOO , lets see the spiritual side of that . It don't mean we gonna own and posses hundreds of houses , ponder on what else he says , about leaving mother , brethren etc , and that you will receive a hundred fold more brethren , etc THIS is speaking of spiritual . We might lose our houses and etc , and we do lose earthen family memebers , yet look at what we receive . My earthen family might have consisted of a few , but how many more brethren do I NOW HAVE in the LORD . way more than I ever lost . The same applies to the houses . I wont own hundreds of houses , it simply means , any house another brother or sister owns , its mine , just as my house is theirs . we have way more houses right now than we ever did . because what is mine is yours and what is yours is mine . we share it all now .

COUNT IT ALL JOY to even suffer the loss of everything , to win JESUS CHRIST . OH the beauty of the LORD . OH the wonderous joy and hope we , who are HIS , do have IN HIM . We seen apostels SINGING in prison . WE seen them getting beaten and threatened and REJOICING afterwards . WE SEEN a people who had all HOPE . And guess what , WE HAVE THAT SAME HOPE . LET NO LUST KILL the WORD . LET NO LUST , let not the pride of life or anything contrary choke out the word . SIMPLY COUNT THE COST . SEE IT . LOVE IT and EMBRACE IT . Here is the cost and be prepared to pay it , for it will soon come to that . KNOW and understand we will be hated . KNOW and understand we will suffer the loss of things , we will be threatened , we will even be put in prison , we might even be killled , shunned hated as monsters . AND THEN SAY COME WHAT MAY TO THE LORD BE THE GLORY . YOUR WILL BE DONE . YOUR KINGDOM COME . SEE the potential of what this cost can be , and COUNT IT TOTAL JOY to lose EVERYTHING FOR JESUS . AND believe this too . IF THEY COULD SING IN PRISON , WE WILL BE ABLE TO SING IN PRISON . IF THEY feared not even death from man , THEN WHY WOULD WE . FOR THE SAME SPIRIT that was in them and with them , IT has been with ALL LAMBS through all ages and will be with us EVEN UNTO THE END . ONLY BE ON GAURD . BE ON GAURD . the flesh is contrary , Beware of sin , HEED THE LAMB , HEED THE SPIRIT , for lusts can and will choke the word right out of folks . I SEEN IT WAY TOO OFTEN . LET us remind the way JESUS DID and the APOSTELS DID . FOR IF WE continue not in CHRIST , IF WE DO NOT HOLD TO HIM AS OUR LORD , and HIS EVERY word as THE WORD OF GOD if we do not hold to the fact that the apostels WERE UNDER THE SPIRIT and that means their words came FROM THE LORD . AND If we do not hold their pattern , FOLKS YA AINT GONNA MAKE IT . SEE JESUS AS GOD , SEE HIM AS THE ONLY HOPE WE HAVE , THUS SEE HIS WORDS AS BEING THE ACTUAL WORD OF GOD . cause guesss what , THEY ARE . DO NOT HEED THEM CHARLATONS and men of belial who twist ANYTHING HE SAID or the apostels said , DONT HEED THEM HERMES DEAD MEN . DONT DONT DONT DONT DONT DONT DONT DONT DONT DONT DONT LET US HEED THE LAMB AND LOVE EVERY SINGLE DOT HE SAID and EVERY SINGLE DOT the apostles WHO UNDER THE SPIRIT did write . ITS gonna get ugly soon . WE WILL BE HATED and nothing can stop this , even now we are hated . BUT ITS GONNA BLOW UP MUCH WORSE .

LET THE PRAYER Be HEARD ROUND THE WORLD . see the beauty of it , cause I mean this prayer for us all , with ALL MY INNERMOST BEING and HEART .
LORD no matter what is coming against us , no matter what is to rise up against us , I pray two things , LET ME ALWAYS BE FAITHFUL even if it costs me all . No matter how hated I am and perscuted I am , no matter if I be thrown in prison and killed . BE WITH ME and may I HONOR YOU . LET YOU O LORD BE PRAISED FROM MY LIPS even in the most dire of times . TO the LORD BE THE GLORY . FOR IT IS YOU , OH LORD WHO IS OUR TREASURE and if it costs us everything , OH LORD WE WIN and we shall abound IN YOU and have ALL HOPE IN YOU . COUNT THE COST and REJOICE IN THE LORD . TO LIVE IS CHRIST , to DIE IS ONLY GAIN .
