Having an easy time

Some preachers will tell you that when you become a christian all your worries will be over and you will prosper. The prosperity we can expect is great, but mostly in the future. Jesus said that in this life we would have problems. So don't expect a millionaire life-style, there is a battle on against the powers of darkness. This life is not a picnic. However the Holy Spirit is always present with us and will bring us through our troubles to heaven at last. Don't give up, the fight is worth it. There is a great reward for those who battle through to the end. Shine through the persecution to be greeted by your Lord saying, "Well done, you good and faithful servant."
