For whatever people who have never undergone an adult conversion may say, it is a process not without its distresses. Indeed, they are the very sign that it is a true initiation. Like learning to swim or to skate, or getting married, or taking up a profession. There are cold shudderings about all these processes. When one finds oneself learning to fly without trouble one soon discovers (usually. There are blessed exceptions where we are allowed to take a real step without that difficulty), by waking up, that it was only a dream.
All blessings and good wishes.

Brothers and sisters, adult conversion is neither simple or easy. In fact, once we accept God’s truth, the adversary will throw everything possible at us to knock us from the true path.
Conversely, those who have not accepted the truth find the adversary easing every step of the way toward the oblivion. The Bible refers to this as the “broad and flat road” to darkness and death.
Conversion sets us on the the “narrow and high road” to life and light. It will always be the harder path, but is the sure way to live in the Eden God created for us. And that is worth every difficulty we overcome on the journey with God.
In the narrows,
