“The Narrow Path”
“We were in praise and worship at a church meeting. I was trying to enter in but felt
blocked; however, I still went through
the process of asking the Lord to speak to me and through me.”
I then
saw the people who were there that night entering into a big cave. We were
loaded down with “stuff”. The more that we walked, the more things we had to
leave behind; (like the pioneers started with furniture, etc., but
ended up littering the trail with unnecessary things). The cave started out
broad but continued to narrow. I was
reminded of what Jesus said, -
“Enter
through the narrow gate; for the gate is wide and the way is broad that leads
to destruction, and there are many who enter through it. For the gate is small
and the way is narrow that leads to life, and there are few who find it.”
The
path ended up being so narrow it was just ledges next to cliffs and narrow
tunnels that one could just crawl through. We finally had to get rid of everything
except the clothes on our back, so we could be agile. The “stuff” that we had
to get rid of was not just things, but it was emotional junk that would keep us
from being made whole. However, as we let go and got rid of the stuff, we were
equipped with everything we would need to make it through the dangerous places,
like Indiana
Jones type of special equipment.
