WHAT MAKES THE GATE SO NARROW

WHAT MAKES THE GATE SO NARROW

The gate that leads to My kingdom is not a squeeze, unless you try to bring baggage. No one ever squeezes through, the narrow gate, there is an exact fit for every heart. The heart that fits through the narrow gate, is the surrendered heart. "So then, any of you who does not forsake (renounce, surrender claim to, give up, say good-bye to) all that he has, cannot be My disciple." Luke 14:33 (AMP) So you said a sinners prayer, what does that do, to get you through the narrow pass, into the kingdom? Absolutely nothing, my friend. As a matter of fact, not even everyone who says to Me, Lord, Lord, will enter the kingdom of heaven. So who fits through the narrow gate? Only he who does the will of My Father Who is in heaven." Matthew 7:21 (AMP)

Your burden becomes much lighter, when you realize you are not your own, [20] but you were bought with a price purchased with a preciousness and paid for, and made My very own." 1 Corinthians 6:19-20 (AMP) When you fully comprehend this fact, total surrender becomes much easier. This is where true intimacy begins. When you have surrendered everything, you are totally dependent on Me as your source. When I am your source, you become intimate with Me, fast. I do not need to coheres, or plead or even ask, because any distance between us, hinders your faith, which cuts your supply line.   

Ungodly habits, pride, sins of the flesh, un-forgiveness, and fear, all make up baggage, that keeps one from fitting through the gate. It's so easy for the surrendered person, but few are willing to let go of everything and let My blood completely cover them. "Strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, so narrow that all baggage must be left behind, and few there be that are willing to leave it." Matthew 7:14 (KJV) This may come as a shock to some of you, but "if you go back into sin wilfully after that you have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for  your sins, because you are ignoring My atonement. [27] But there will be a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour My adversaries." Hebrews 10:26-27 (KJV)

Listen, it's so simple, sin and holiness do not and will never mix. You have either been purchased and covered by My blood or you have not. "How can you who died to sin live in it any longer? [3] Are you ignorant of the fact that all of you who have been baptized into Me, were baptized into My death? [4] You were buried therefore with Me by the baptism into My death, so that just as I was raised from the dead by the glorious power of My Father, so you too might habitually live and behave in a new life of holiness."  Romans 6:2-4 (AMP)

Until your flesh is totally dead, there will be times that your dying flesh sins, but not intentionally, and never continuously. The whole reason for My word is so you "do not sin, but if any man slip and sin, you have Me as an advocate with the Father, because I am Jesus Christ the righteous one, the one who paid for your sin:" 1 John 2:1 (KJV) And by the way, during this dying of the flesh process, do not let anyone condemn you because "there is no condemnation (no adjudging guilty of wrong) for those who are in Me, as long as you are not living and walking after the dictates of the flesh, but are seeking after the dictates of the Spirit." Romans 8:1 (AMP) Do not fret, if you truly desire to go through the narrow kingdom gate, My Holy Spirit will help you to surrender all, and you will make it.
