Matthew 7:13 Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: 14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.
Matthew 19:26 But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible.
The Vision of The Narrow Way
..Faith has it’s vision and it comes as we get into The Word Of God – when we hear The Word of God. Faith has it’s own vision.
You find You find yourselves in impossible situations thinking ‘ this just isn’t going to happen.. it’s impossible.. all against me ‘ There’s always a mountain in front of you to climb or overcome in some way. But you soon learn that what is impossible with man is possible with God. We have to learn that God places us in impossible situations in which to reveal His power and might and glory. That is the narrow way.
Just You And God – And The Narrow Way
.. Very often you find yourself on your own, it’s between you and God. Nobody seems to want to follow you, and yet we know it’s the Narrow Way because Jesus said it was difficult. But you see these are words of wisdom that our Lord is teaching us. Why are they words of wisdom? It’s because the world does not teach you this.
The world says ‘go The Broad Way because it is the way of blessing, it’s the way you will succeed – the way you will make a name for yourself and have all your creature comforts.’ There is only one problem with this – you don’t get eternal life through The Broad Way. Isn’t it sad that so many who profess Christ are walking that Broad Way.
The Narrow Way And Revolutionary Walk
This is where our salvation is supernatural, it is a work of God that empowers and changes us. That’s why I say that salvation is revolutionary in many ways, it completely changes you in every way and form. That is what is means to be a new creation. Suddenly something has invaded – come into your life and changed your thinking attitudes motives and whole outlook. It’s a power that you can’t muster up, it’s the power of God that changes our lives. This is why I always stress when people call themselves Christians – have you had that change – that experience?
Romans 9:22 What if God, willing to shew his wrath, and to make his power known, endured with much longsuffering the vessels of wrath fitted to destruction:
Philippians 3:19 Whose end is destruction, whose God is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things.)
James 1:12 Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him.
Matthew 7:21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
Revelation 12:11 And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.
1 John 2:15 Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
