The narrow gate

Take this message to the Lord for wisdom and understanding. All honor and glory to Abba Yahweh and Jesus Christ, Yahshua Ha Maschiach 💜

As you see in my sketch, I tried to draw what I saw in a vision of the night. I was in a vehicle with a few others. We were heading toward a gate on the right side of a road and vehicles heading in the opposite direction on the left. The vehicles on the left were bumper to bumper. The right side of the road between the other vehicles and gate was very narrow. So narrow in fact, we had to basically squeeze through causing a scratch on the sides. After pushing through, we headed onto a path to the right. This was a small path with a metal track on it. I have to admit, this track looked a bit frightening to be on, as narrow as it was.

Upon waking and praying to the Lord for wisdom and understanding, I was led to this…

I knew this message was about the narrow gate and path, but there were a few things that left me a bit stumped on their meaning. As I pondered what I thought was a rail on the path, I heard, “track”. Finally, I put it together…”on the right track!”

The track was on the path (both on the right). Here is what scripture says about the narrow gate and path…

Matthew 7:14

“For the gate is narrow and the way is constricted that leads to life, and there are few that find it”

This passage alone explains the tight squeeze we ( the few in the vehicle I was in) made between the gate and the vehicles going in the opposite direction. Constricted definition and synonyms:

As I continued to read, I cross referenced Matthew 7:14 and was led to Luke 13:23-24

I continued to read that passage on to Luke 7:23

“DEPART FROM ME YOU EVIL DOERS”.

That struck me! Firstly, it was in all caps! I felt the anger and authority in this statement by the Lord. I thought in my mind…I need to understand why and want to explain to other why. Why would so few enter the narrow gate or find the narrow path? Why would the Lord turn BELIEVERS away?

So, I cross referenced Luke 13:27 as I have been taught by God Himself to do so…

Matthew 25:41-46

“Then He will also say to those on His left, Depart from Me,accursed ones, into eternal fire which has been prepared for the devil and his angels; for I was hungry, and you gave me nothing to eat; I was thirsty, and you gave Me nothing to drink; I was a stranger, and you did not invite Me in; naked and you did not clothe Me; sick, and in prison,and you did not visit Me. Then they themselves will answer, ‘Lord, when did we see You hungry, or thirsty, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison,and did not take care of You?’ Then He will answer them, ‘Truly I say to you, to the extent that you did not do it to one of the least of these, you did not do it to Me.’ “These will go away into eternal punishment,but the righteous into eternal life.”
