Narrow gate located I think

This free will thing is worth meditating on everyday as well as discussing it here at B.T.
I'm seeing this as the difference between living life in the spirit or living life in the flesh, being a slave to sin or a slave to righteousness.

So as I become dethrone which is a process then less of the deeds of the flesh are manifest. As I come to terms that man does not direct his footsteps which means no free will and no free choice the greater is my awareness of my Lord and savior Jesus Christ living within me rather than with me.

I can not serve two masters, I will be loyal to one and disloyal to the other, I can not serve both God and myself.

What I'm learning here is that everything is according to Gods timetable and I can do nothing on my own. I feel very comfortable knowing I am right where God wants me to be, that is to say, I'm not ahead nor am I behind, God knows the ends from the beginning even of my entire life. 

And so the work that He God has started in me He God will also complete in me and that is of Him God and not of me. THANK YOU JESUS

It's a strange thing to me but I found what I was not looking for but have been found by God. Could this be the narrow gate our Lord was talking about ? Could this be the difference between the many and the few ? It truly is Of God.


Love and peace to all of you and God Bless.

Well said and it feels narrow to me too but I'm glad that God knows how narrow it needs to be.

I like the CLV version about the gate:

Mat 7:13 Enter through the cramped gate, for broad is the gate and spacious is the way which is leading away into destruction, and many are those entering through it."
Mat 7:14 Yet what a cramped gate and narrowed way is the one leading away into life, and few are those who are finding it."

Cramped doesn't feel pleasant and wondering how do I get through here. No wonder most go though the other one as you don't feel cramped there. We who are getting cramped now should be glad of it for the life we shall receive. Few are those who get cramped now as not many fit through that gate.

Thanks for the reply Rhys, I've learned so much from the lake of fire series and what's really awesome to me is that I accept it and understand it so that's telling me God is opening my eyes if you will.

Its been almost five year since I been on this website but I tell you I was not ready at that time, its wonderful to be back with true believers who understand these truths of God.

God bless you Rhys and peace be with you.

Duane:
Isn't it odd how I posted on the same topic having not looked below to yours?

rick:
Hello Duane and God bless. I believe the Lord might be showing us something here. I read your thread  ( Broad is the way ) and can identify with your post. Is it strange I don't think so. God is showing me something here and also you too.

Love and peace and God bless.
