THE NARROW WAY

THE NARROW WAY

                “Enter by the narrow gate; for the gate is wide and the way is broad that leads to destruction and many are those who enter by it. For the gate is small and the way is narrow that leads to life and few are those who find it.” Matthew 7:13, 14.

                It is heart breaking really. I honestly wish I could believe the false prophets when they paint a picture for us of a world being swept into Christianity during times of ease and pleasure. It is like one big Charismatic party as Christians everywhere, being finally liberated from fundamental belief in the Bible and obedience to God’s Word are all raptured into heaven, each on his own terms.

                This is the trend in much of the church today, even as they give up the basic foundations of salvation and join the ecumenical movement for global unity under the leadership of Rome.  

                Do you think this has happened by accident? No. There are huge forces at work in the world today. They have infiltrated all denominations and Seminaries and they have truncated the Gospel. Jesuit infiltration into every branch of government and religion are slowly drawing the church back to Rome and to globalism. Free masons as well form an arm of the New World Order with their secret societies, their skull and bones type organizations through which the world’s leaders are groomed and controlled.

                Today, church members in every level of Christianity have been convinced that a study of Bible prophecy is archaic and unnecessary in today’s world. Seminaries don’t even teach it any more. Pastors avoid the subject like the plague, not realizing that they are slowly, but surely leading their congregations down the broad pathway to hell. Today the church is creating largely foolish virgins and Laodiceans. False grace is leading millions down the primrose path to destruction.

                Somewhere around 57% of all Christians today do not believe that there  is only one way to heaven… one name under heaven given among men whereby we must be saved. Ecumenism is broadly affecting even fundamental churches today simply because most Christians have a largely secular world view rather than a biblical world view. They are being shaped and molded and brainwashed into a new Gospel.

                It is a new Gospel in which the blood of Jesus no longer needs to be talked about. The cross of Jesus can be avoided.  Christianity becomes more of a philosophy than a death to this world and a completely new birth into the kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. In the New Birth we no longer live by our power, but by the power of the Holy Spirit. Our bodies become temples of the Holy Spirit; and since the Holy Spirit cannot participate in our sins, we must either put them away, or reject and grieve the Holy Spirit. Light and darkness cannot dwell in the same place.

                So guess what. If you continue calling yourself a Christian while living like the world, a different spirit replaces the Spirit of God. Satan appears as an angel of light to you only now you have become a god unto yourself and you are living to please yourself thinking you are pleasing God.

                Never in all of earth’s history have we been so vulnerable to lies and delusions. The lines between right and wrong, truth and error have been faded and all but erased.        The Bible has ceased to be the towering standard for truth that it used to be. We value our own opinions over God’s Word.

                Professing to be wise we have become fools, exchanging the glory of an incorruptible God for an image of corruptible man…namely ourselves. We worship things more than we worship our Creator and lies in the place of truth.

                Therefore society has become debased in every way possible and now, instead of repenting, we pass laws in favor of our sins. We are giving honor to things which God declares to be an abomination to Him. We honestly do not know how far we have fallen and so we feel no need to repent… and if our pastor dares to call for repentance we will pick up our suitcase l of money and go elsewhere.

                I can foresee a time in the near future when God’s true remnant people are going to have to go underground. All we need is a war or the collapse of our economy for the masses to start looking around for a scapegoat.

                I believe that both Trump and Netanyahu are God’s men. Netanyahu: because he is tolerant of the Messianic movement. Therefore he is giving Yeshua a chance to be revealed to Israel. Many Jews and Muslims are coming to Christ. But chances, if neglected can turn into judgments and indeed judgments are about to come upon Israel.

                Likewise Trump has been put in place by God to give America one last chance to turn around and to repent and to come back to God. And likewise, if repentance does not come and Christ is rejected by America we sit poised for huge and unprecedented judgments to fall upon us that will result in many millions of deaths.

                There has never been a time like this when we must stop putting our faith in manmade philosophies and organizations and Nicolaitan run hierarchies of religion. It is time to place our own individual faith in Jesus Christ and in His word… not as it is interpreted by others, but as it is interpreted by the Holy Spirit in your heart as you seek Him in prayer and repentance.

                There is only one God and one Mediator between God and man, the man Jesus Christ. He Himself is our peace. Within His own body He broke down the dividing wall between soul and spirit. He, in His own person has paved a way to the Father. That is why Paul said in Colossians 2:9-14:

                “For in Him all the fullness of Deity dwells in bodily form and in Him you have been made complete, and He is the head over all rule and authority; and in Him you were also circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, in the removal of the body of flesh by the circumcision of Christ. And when you were dead in your transgressions and the uncircumcision of your flesh, He made you alive together with Him, having forgiven all our transgressions, having cancelled out the certificate of debt consisting of decrees against us and which was hostile to us; and He has taken it out of the way having nailed it to the cross.”     

                Yes it is good and necessary for us as Christians to have fellowship with one another for that is how we learn how to love with a godly love. But true Christianity is a one on One relationship with the Person of Jesus and His Word through the Holy Spirit. God never intended for the church to become our mediator and the dispenser of truth to us. The church has become weak because people have sat back and let the pastor tell them what is truth and what is important. They have allowed denominations or organizations to dictate to them eth limits of what they can believe and what they can experience to the point where we no longer expect anything in terms of a living relationship with Jesus through His Holy Spirit.

                So then why did Paul go on to say: “Therefore let no one act as your judge in regard to food or drink, or in respect to a festival or a new moon or a Sabbath day- things which are a mere shadow of what is to come; but the substance belongs to Christ.” Why did He say that? It is because we can take these things that point to Christ and we can make them a religion in themselves and yet not have a living relationship with Yeshua.

                This is what happened to the religious leaders in Jesus’ day. They worshipped the symbols, but rejected the living Son of God because He didn’t seem to fit their interpretation of the symbols. Something had to give. Their pride would not allow them to be broken on the Rock so they broke the Rock.

                So today, with a church on every corner, our traditions have fallen short of a living relationship with Jesus. We have replaced Him with our organizations and these organizations are carrying us back to Rome… to manmade unity… to global security… to mainstream acceptance.

                The call of God’s Remnant people out of Babylon goes much deeper than most people understand. Today we have developed a system that no longer even remotely reflects the simple walk of faith that Jesus had with His Father. We have placed many walls between us and reality and we have replaced a true walk with Jesus with food and drink and festivals and new moons and Sabbaths. These things are mere shadows of what is to come but the substance belongs to Christ… and it is in Christ alone that we must place our trust.

                To the extent that we have replaced Christ with other things, to that extent we will wonder after the Beast, for he will offer us what we want and he will promise safety and security… but in the end he will not be able to keep his promises.

                “As you therefore have received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in Him, having been firmly rooted and now being built up in Him and established in your faith, just as you were instructed, and overflowing with gratitude. See to it that no one takes you captive through philosophy and empty deception, according to the traditions of men, according to the elementary principles of the world, rather than according to Christ. For in Him all the fullness of Diety dwells in bodily form…” Colossians 2:6-9

                Jesus is the narrow way. There is one fold and one Shepherd. And every denomination will tell you that they are that one fold… and when you accept that, you have accepted a substitute for Jesus Himself. Can you imagine how much stronger the church would be today if every person was on a one on One basis with Jesus… a student of the Bible and a temple of the Holy Spirit. America would never have fallen where it is today. But we have substituted Jesus and repentance and death through His cross and new birth through His resurrection, for manmade organizational traditions. We have allowed another mediator to stand between us and God and that, my friends is the very definition of antichrist.

                Come out of her My people and partake not of her sins lest you receive of her plagues. This is not a call out of your church or denomination if it is preaching the truth and guiding its people into a relationship with Jesus Christ, but it is a call out of allowing substitutes to stand between us and our relationship with Jesus, His word and His Holy Spirit. And if your church is drifting towards ecumenism, or compromise or false grace or global religion or any such thing, by all means get out of it and find a better place to serve the Lord. and you should do some research because many would be surprised to find out which organizations are falling back to Rome and or embracing a globalist view of the church, or New Age practices, or simple complacency about the times in which we live.
