Disappointment and frustration arrays on people's faces, because after saying "the sinners prayers", the standard of their lives did not supernaturally change.
The clergy promised them bread and butter, comfy bed with sweet scenting roses; a luxury kind of living.
Their faces failed after tarrying for long, and many of these expected things weren't still their possession.
They failed to understand, that most of the things they expect, they have a part to bring it into bearing!

Some offers inherent in the new life.
*GOD'S LOVE!
*This is inevitable! Once you accept our Lord Jesus as your lord and savior. You will automatically, experience this love.
*PEACE!
God's all surpassing peace becomes your experience even in the midst of turbulent storm.
* SPIRITUAL UNDERSTANDING!
Through His grace and your quest for knowledge, His spirit brings to your eyes, higher knowledge.
You begin to see things from God's standpoint. Knowing that the unseen births the seen. Irrespective of efforts.
PROSPERITY!
This is the point many question God to be unfaithful!
They forget that God blesses the works of their hands, and not perform magic. Also, that there are principles to follow heartily!
PERSECUTION/TRIALS!
This is the hard truth they were never told.
Persecution is one of the most important benefit for following Christ and it must come.
Count it all joy when men persecute you, for His name sake. there's a reward.
DEATH!
For to live is Christ, and to die is gain. It's one of the privilege of the inner life. That for the sake of Christ, you laid your life.
Yes, we are not disadvantage. we are a royal priesthood, and holy nation, Gods own people; Living to see that the purposes of God come to be in our generation.
That the earth be filled with the glory of God like the water covers the sea. And we do this, even if it cost our life.
