Are you willing to pay this price?

"Now great multitudes went with Him. And He turned and said to them, ²⁶ “If anyone comes to Me and does not hate his father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters, yes, and his own life also, he cannot be My disciple. ²⁷ And whoever does not bear his cross and come after Me cannot be My disciple. Luke 14:25,27 NKJV








The Holy Spirit was given first to the disciples and until today He does not give his Spirit to those who do not want to be used by him.

When we look at the passage above, we see the price we must pay to have the Holy Spirit and become His disciples.

Let us look carefully at it:

1. Hate his father, mother, wife, children, brothers and sisters. 
2. And his own life also.

It means your love for you family cannot be greater than your love for him, because when you decide to serve him, your family will very likely turn against you and if you love them more than him you will leave him for you do not want to displease your family.

He also emphasise that fact you have to hate your own life also, meaning your will or desires to please him.

Maybe you say I want the Holy Spirit but are you willing to pay the price?
