Matt 7:14 AMP   But the gate is narrow (contracted by pressure) and the way is straitened and compressed that leads away to life, and few are those who find it. [Deut 30:19; Jer 21:8.]

Matt 7:14-16  The way to life — to God! — is vigorous and requires total attention.   15 "Be wary of false preachers who smile a lot, dripping with practiced sincerity. Chances are they are out to rip you off some way or other. Don't be impressed with charisma; look for character. 16-20 Who preachers are is the main thing, not what they say. A genuine leader will never exploit your emotions or your pocketbook. These diseased trees with their bad apples are going to be chopped down and burned.  THE MESSAGE Bible

“ The road that leads to life is narrow.  It requires abandonment – abandonment to ME.  Not many are willing to live their lives FOR ME.  Many live their lives but they don’t seek ME as their ADONAI.  They are willing to come to Me and to find what they want of Me.  Not many are willing to lay everything down for ME as their inheritance.

Ezek 44:28 NKJV   "It shall be, in regard to their inheritance, that I am their inheritance. You shall give them no possession in Israel, for I am their possession.

Is there anything that I will withhold from those who truly love Me as their first love?
I’ve said, that if any two agree as touching anything, that will I do.  I am FAITHFUL to perform My Word.  It is you who are unbelieving and who give up so easily.  In a war YOU MUST FIGHT.  Can you imagine a war in which your enemy just gives up his gun, or gives you his food willingly ?  Can you imagine that if the enemy wants to kill you and is intent on it, that he will stop progressing toward that goal ? NO.  So you cannot think you can just passively go through your days , and that if you just DO NOTHING to FIGHT WITH THE WEAPONS I’ve GIVEN YOU, THAT THE ENEMY IS JUST GOING TO GIVE OVER WHATEVER HE REALLY WANTS TO WITHHOLD, OR TO GIVE UP ON KILLING YOU.  HE HATES ME AND HE HATES YOU.  You MUST fight beloveds for this war is real.  It is more real than the ones being fought in the natural.

DO NOT LAY DOWN YOUR WEAPONS.  Remember in Nehemiah how they held their weapon in one hand and worked with the other hand ?

Neh 4:16-18 NKJV   Those who built on the wall, and those who carried burdens, loaded themselves so that with one hand they worked at construction, and with the other held a weapon. 18 Every one of the builders had his sword girded at his side as he built. And the one who sounded the trumpet was beside me.

Just as Sanballat and Tobiah opposed the rebuilding of the walls and temple, so in this time the enemies of Your Lord, also oppose the rebuilding of MY TRUE CHURCH.  They do not want to see the reestablishment of TRUTH, nor the reestablishment of MY RULE in the earth. They want to crush any building or HARVESTING.  So you MUST
take up the weapons of your warfare, and FIGHT the good fight.  Do not listen to the accusations of the enemy as you keep building relationships with one another and loving the lost.  Keep up the fight.  I am sending in more reserves ! 

{ As He said this, it was almost as if I could hear Him laughing, chuckling to Himself !}

Even as the enemy is increasing his troops thinking to crush you, so I also have reserved many of MY HEAVENLY ARMY for this hour who will assist you in the fight !
Does not a good general anticipate the enemy’s moves before he makes them ?  Surely you know that I AM THE WINNER !  I AM THE ONE WHO HOLDS THE KEYS TO DEATH AND HELL.  And the GATES OF HELL WILL NOT PREVAIL against My beloveds !  HEAVENLY JUSTICE is about to be poured out as never before beloveds.
BELIEVE AND YOU SHALL RECEIVE.  Come close, listen to My whisper.  Quiet yourself so you can hear My strategies on a daily basis.  Let me show you the Way.
For I AM the WAY the TRUTH and the LIFE.  Ask and you will receive.  Knock and the door will be opened.  WIELD THE SWORD OF TRUTH AND DON’T STOP !  Sharpen your sword for the time has come for the battle of all time. Know that I AM with you in this one more than you can imagine, will I be with you.”

Matt 28:20 teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age." Amen. NKJV

“I am going to shine My glory so that every man’s heart will be utterly exposed in My presence.  As I do this, I will give everyman the choice to leave all the chains behind and to move forward in MY GRACE, or to keep on doing his will.  But if that one chooses LIFE, he will receive all he desires to do it !  GRACE, GRACE, ABUNDANT GRACE.  Those who spit on My grace will be sorrowful and given to delusion.  Do NOT
let unsanctified mercy lead you into false compassion for those who are wicked in their hearts.  Guard your hearts beloveds for great delusion comes, and destruction with it.
Keep in the WORD, and let no man deceive you with false allurement of riches and turn you from devotion to ME.  SHUT the mouth of the LIAR with TRUTH. SPEAK My truth and believe on it, and walk in the light as I am in the light, and you will stay on the narrow way.  I will give all that you need to do what I’ve given each of you to do.
I have more than enough in My treasuries to fulfill the needs of all men. All things are possible to he who believes.”
