Someone once said, "Salvation is free, but it isn't cheap." In fact, it cost Jesus His life, and it will cost you yours. The strongest hindrance to the move of God in the lives of His people is that we have not died to the flesh. That fact has destroyed countless marriages and homes, and threatened many others.
