Despite gaining worldwide recognition for his inspiring speeches and devotion to God, legendary American evangelist Billy Graham still considers himself a failure.

It would floor people who admire the evangelist to hear him speak of himself in such a way, but Graham has a very good reason why he considers himself a failure.

According to Charisma News, famed television host Larry King interviewed Graham shortly after his 80th birthday and told him, "It must be rewarding to you to look back on your life and not have to live with regrets."

Graham's reply surprised not just King but his audiences. "I am the greatest failure of all men. I was too much with men and too little with God. I was too busy with business meetings and even conducting services. I should have been more with God, and people would've sensed God's presence about me when they were with me," said Graham.

Bert M. Farias, revivalist and founder of Holy Fire Ministries, could not agree more with what Graham said. "If we follow after the flesh and the natural things, it will keep us empty and unusable to be the Lord's workman," he writes. "As your spirit gets filled with more of God, it will affect and touch everything in your life — your relationships, your health, your finances and more."

He strongly believes that the cure for any of man's problems is through living a full life with the Spirit of God, which people should abide by as a daily command.

"Don't give yourself to something less than being full. Cast aside the things that stop you from obtaining His fullness. You will not live full of the Spirit by leading a busy and hectic life. God called you to a full life, not a hectic life," he says.

"Your love walk and your faith walk won't be a difficulty when you're full. Faith and love are not a difficulty to the full man," adds Farias.
