Discuss Lester Watson's answer to: What gifts does jesus give you after being born again?

In my case, a clean and healed spirit.  The turmoil I suffered came to a close, the frustration I endured became little more important than a small pile of dirt, and I got a whole new direction in life.

More importantly, I began to understand why things had gone so badly for me before.  The Lord taught me through a failed business attempt that if I went into a venture unprepared, and uninspired, that it would fail. 

With inspiration came a new and potent insight: that I had failed to learn from my mistakes.  With inspiration, I was able to see the concealed rationale why it happened and what to do to correct it. 

It was certainly not what I would have considered before, but a new and clean way of doing business: on an old-fashioned basis of trust and knowing who to trust.

The Lord showed me what my destiny is and how to accomplish what I came here to do.  By working toward that goal, guided by God, I have accomplished what I came here to do.

Accepting Christ will not grant you prosperity.  Greed and its like vices are truly the roots of evil.  The most important lessons I learned were how to be happy with what I have.

These lessons do not appear in books: we learn them only through inspiration.
