The Narrow gate.

[Cobus]

Luke 13:23...Strive to enter in at the strait gate: for many, I say unto you, will seek to enter in, and shall not be able.

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:
Mat 7:14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.
Mat 7:15 Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.

I have NOT entered into this gate, and it looks like I am one of those that seek to enter but am not able... Now I ask this.... Who of you have entered nto this gate?

What is on the other side? Can you share what you found there? Do not come here with bulldust, rather keep your peace if you are with me on this side of the gate... THE WRONG SIDE WHERE I AM AT....

If you are on the other side, please share...

I know why I cannot enter, God would not allow me to take ONE SINGLE SIN IN THERE... And I do not want to stop my sin.... It is like I still make excuses for what I am.... Or let me put it so you will understand.... I cannot stop sinning, so why try? And if nobody can stop sinning, NOBODY, then why even mention less and less... Or More and more like Jesus?

I ask just one more question.... If God refers to the TWO men I would make out here on earth as:

1. Cobus with the stony heart - Obviously one that is on this side of the narrow gate, SINNER with SINNING SPIRIT!

2. Cobus with a NEW FLESHLY HEART, and GOD'S SPIRIT- Obviously one on the OTHER side of the NARROW GATE, A man born of God with a HOLY SPIRIT!

Now my question.... Can the man that God removed the sinning heart and spirit, still do sin with the heart of flesh and the Spirit of God in him? Even AFTER God said.... I will give you this heart of flesh and MY SPIRIT, AND CAUSE YOU TO .... LOOK GOD WILL CAUSE THIS MAN TO.... WALK IN MY STATUTES... WOW!!!! AND YOU SHALL KEEP MY JUDGEMENTS AND DO THEM...

LEt us just get this clear.... God removes the stony heart... How well does He do that? If God removes it, will it remain removed? YES!
Then God places a heart in us that will CAUSE us to walk in his statutes and keep his judgements, AND DO THEM.

Not only does He remove the stoney heart, he REPLACES IT WITH ONE THAT WILL MAKE SURE WE KEEP HIS JUDGEMENTS AND DO THEM... THEN HE ADDS HIS SPIRIT!!!!! To absolutely make us DO HIS WILL...

Well who does God do this too? I guess it is people like me.... I CANNOT even concieve what that must be like, but I will ANYDAY exchange that life for the one I live now.... ANY DAY!!!!

Now all we need is PROOF FROM GOD THAT HE DOES THIS...

Here you are....

Ezekiel 36:26 and 27...
Eze 36:26 A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh.
Eze 36:27 And I will put my spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes, and ye shall keep my judgments, and do them.

Lord God, please do this with me, PLEASE help me enter through to YOU... AMEN!

Many here will laugh and say Terry you are possessed and out of your mind but I say to you Cobus you asked and yes I have entered the narrow gate. What has changed? everything. What have I gained ? eternal life. How did I enter ? I first accpeted Jesus and was baptised full emersion by a couple of believers at home in my bathtub. It took 18 months for me to recieve the Holy Spirit. I lost most of my friends and family because of this. My life is what one calls boring due to most money going to feed several poor families. Holidays and raging nights are gone as the new Spirit talks to me inside revealing that revelry is a sin.
I feel as if my old self died and sometimes am drawn by the bad part of me saying ''go back and have fun '' but I dont. the blessings are this, I am in constant contact with God. The Father and Son and Holy Spirit live in our home. They show themselves in many ways visiting me in dreams and in waking hours through what you would call supernatural manifestations. But these blessings outway the old life. It means stopping and fighting sin. Remove porn,lusts. Draw closer to God and he will draw closer to you and will appear to you. Keep His Holy Commandments

I recieved the Holy Spirit when I screamed out to Jesus as if I was about to die 18 months after I accepted baptism and he heard me and came and saved me,read my testimony

I sense a bit of anger here.....

 

[Cobus]

Terry you will not lose me, I ENVY you. And I thank God for your answer... I know there is a similar life in stall for me.

Balin you sence right, if I entered the CC church today I would also have thorwn tables over... But I TRUST God... they will all be reminded of their pride and judgements... ALL OF THEM...

Terry I believe you and I thank God I know you.

I pray God will send more holy people here. HIS HOLY MEN... and although they will endure suffering, they are used to that. I hwever am NOT... I am not even holy yet, but at least I believe God can make me holy.... Some others have this perverted holy thing... Twistin God's holiness to a foul rag...

Lord send them like you send Jesus and your prophets,.. Send then Lord and let them rebuke me in my sin and error ways... Let them reproof, rebuke in ALL Your auttority, and Let them show me JESUS! Amen!

I know Blain.... God still have holy people here and they PREACH TRUTH... they ARE FREE and Jesus set them FREE INDEED...

I just hope I will also be made free, that is why I study the Word so hard... I seek God with all I got... I KNOW I WIL FIND HIM...

 

[Cobus]

I am off for the night... Closing time... Tomorrow is a new day, who knows when God set my time for PASSING THROUGH... God bless us ALL with your Truth.... AMEN!

John 14:6 Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me."

John 10:9 I am the gate; whoever enters through me will be saved [...]

I've always thought the narrow gate wasn't necessarily referring to good works but to Jesus.
