The Narrow Door …

Luke 13:23-24 ~ Someone asked him, “Lord, are only a few people going to be saved?” He said to them, “Make every effort to enter through the narrow door, because many, I tell you, will try to enter and will not be able to.”?

Abba Father good morning – This scripture. It is a powerful warning for all of life living among/within the ways of this world. Time is a limited resource. Effort is taking intentional action within an unknown limited time-frame. It’s absolutely-critical to realize we are unable to save our life. Our effort must be diligent in entering through the narrow door breathing everlasting life in heaven within Our Living God, Our Lord Christ Jesus, Holy Spirit. Never forget, the ways of this world are as wide as the imagination. Nothing seems too restrictive. Getting clear direction is almost unattainable. There are many different ways of everyday life. Each with its own set of rules, interpretations, promises. Instant gratification is a way of living on emotions. Materialism providing overwhelming distractions. Pornography stealing intimacy. Gambling robbing security. Drugs burying reality. Alcohol destroying ability to function. Technology interfering with personal communication. Selfishness removing all compassion. Obstacles to living life at its very best encountered among/within the ways of this world destroying lives, families, friendships, spontaneous encounters. Maneuvering around obstacles attempting to devour our time, our energy, our resources will take effort, dedication, commitment. If not extremely careful in maneuvering around obstacles of the ways of this world. We will become entangled in this maze of entrapments. Remember, roads we follow, paths we take, doors we open. Will all make a difference. Who are we following? Where are we going? What are we doing? Big questions representing who we are internally: what we believe, how we live life. Reflect with extreme urgency throughout this day on the answers of our life. Be utmost honest. It’s everlasting critical. Life is like a maze of roads going everywhere. All interwoven. Creating confusion requiring several maps showing twists, turns, detours. Even then, it’s still possible to get confused, lost, overwhelmed. Have you ever been lost? Where are we getting our directions? It will make all the difference between roaming endlessly or traveling confidently. Who do you trust with your life? The living bible is holiness from Genesis 1:1 to Revelation 22:21: clearly directing our life to live within the gospel of Christ Jesus. Reading, holding, embracing this book of life. Our life will encounter this narrow door. A door we can open freely, willingly, enter boldly, courageously, fearlessly with a life of faith. A narrow door the ways of this world avoids intentionally and unintentionally. A wide door represents the ways of this world. A narrow door is a life of intimacy breathing closeness. An anointed narrow door wide enough for the whole world. A protective door with life-changing promises within The Lord Our God who actively loves all of life personally, unconditionally, intimately. A door of living faith willingly believing, accepting, trusting, following within Our Living God, Our Lord Christ Jesus, Holy Spirit. A narrow door of everlasting life with living hope overcoming all hopelessness, agape love embracing all rejection, sacrificial forgiveness releasing all sinfulness, everlasting life in heaven destroying all obstacles of the ways of this world. Our Lord Christ Jesus reminds everyone the importance of staying intimately focused. Importance of boldly, courageously, fearlessly entering through the narrow door. A path less traveled, yes rough at times, but an intimate path living within our inner-core of thriving life. A path of life with truth, clarity, wisdom, discernment, affirmation, faithfulness, promises. A narrow door wide enough for this whole world. Absolutely nothing within our past is so wide, so hindering, so restricting, so sinful that it’s unenterable. No one, not one life will be rejected, turned away, pushed aside. True-repentance enters the narrow door of everlasting life in heaven. Satan always attempts to remind our life of imperfections, pasts, sinfulness, unworthiness. True-repentance will open our heart, our mind, our soul to see satan’s obstacles in life attempting to get us lost, sidetracked, detoured. Remember, we have a choice, a decision, a way of life to choose. We can live within satan’s obstacles entangling, entrapping, isolating. Or willingly enter the narrow door within God the Father ~ God the Son ~ God the Holy Spirit. Renewing, refreshing, redeeming, restoring our sinful life with a life of undeserved grace breathing everlasting life in heaven. Never forget: the living bible is very clear “All who call on the LORD will be saved.” This intimate promise is for our sinful life. Reflect with utmost urgency my friend. Which door is your heart, your mind, your soul; your very inner-core of thriving everlasting life willingly entering??

Father ~ Thank you for helping me maneuver around satan’s obstacles. Not just finding the narrow door: but entering boldly, courageously, fearlessly. My inner-core of thriving life engaging life-changing undeserved grace. An anointed door actively breathing living hope, agape love, sacrificial forgiveness, everlasting life in heaven. Abba Father ~ Help me to boldly open, courageously enter, fearlessly live intimately within you Abba Father, Lord Jesus, Holy Spirit.
