“Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.”
Matthew 7:13-14
I keep hearing two different words simultaneously for two separate audiences. The first word is a strong warning I have felt in my spirit since January of this year for the disobedient and those who do not walk with and trust in God.
God longs to show the unrepentant mercy. He longs for all to know Him and to live an abundant life. When a lost sheep is missing, he is in great danger and his life is in peril. God goes after the one lost sheep, and the heavens rejoice when that lost sheep is found.
The Lord has been working to get your attention, to wake you up, to bring you back to His heart, but sadly to no avail. And His warning for you is that you are continuing down a road that does not end well; a very destructive and damaging road. He is calling you to Himself, to return to safety and security in Him, where your salvation alone is found.
The second word is a word of encouragement for those that are close to the Lord. He is about to move powerfully on your behalf and for His glory. Good things will come as a result and joy and rest are your portion, for He knows of your suffering and pain you are and have been enduring for righteousness.
Keep on persevering and trusting Him and His ways. He is not finished with you, on the contrary, He has only just begun His good work in and through you.
