I
see going through life kind of like this... The path through life is
like taking a trip, a long journey, lets just say, and in order to get
to our destination or to the end of the trip we can take any path we
wish,' one of three.
Each path has a different scenario... although each
one seems to go in the same direction, they all end at a different
place. The highway, the way of the wilderness and the narrow way. Now, I'm certain that you know
exactly which one leads to God, but I still want to tell this story
because there are other treasures to dig up as we go... OK...
So the
broad way, the High way & usually easy way is obviously... the path
that leads to destruction... and the narrow path is the path that leads
to heaven according to the word of God, right? Right! OK, so then, what
about the path in the wilderness? This path is quite unique, but boy let
me tell ya it is filled with, rock slides, fallen trees, mud holes,
quicksand, thorns, briars, evil creatures, wild beasts of every sort and
villains that will steal, kill, and destroy every hope and every ray of
sunshine that we would hope to posses or carry with us. And if we, in
the middle of all of this, should get a chance to rest . We will then
get to deal with the pestilence of the place... mosquito's, and ticks,
and every kind of creepy crawly thing that there is to deal with, sounds
great right?...
of course, I'm being a little sarcastic ... But you would be surprised how many choose to take this
path, and I'm able to describe this wonderful wonderland so vividly
because I spent so many years there, and by the time I was done I looked a little haggard, I think that this pic that was put out by the rock 103 is kind of a self portrait after my journey on the wilderness road. ... and it is my hope to call
everyone from out of that way of pain and suffering onto the narrow
path, which is not so easy itself, after all it is the way of
affliction, for he who turns from sin suffers in the flesh. but it is
the ONLY path that leads us all to the the gates of heaven and the broad
way leads everyone who goes that way to a giant cliff, that all who go
that way will soon go over at 100 miles an hour, in the fog, to their
destruction...
Well the question then is who in their right mind would
choose to go that way, the way of the wilderness? and that's a great
question.
See, no one actually chooses this path but is the path that
they end up on when they are undecided, and OH how great are the
struggles within this wilderness place. The next Question to answer is
when does this trial and difficulty end ? The answer is ... when we get
tired of all of that trouble and get fighting mad at the enemy and
determine that we are not going to live like that any more. Then the cry
comes to all of those in the wilderness and to all on the broad way and
says "Choose this day which God you will serve". Then we call on the
name of the Lord, kneel down & pray for forgiveness & mercy
& strength and stand up and attack and fight our way to the Lord
...who stands on the narrow path shining His light to all who search for
Him.... It is never easy to get to that place but the Lord has forged
through the wilderness and blazed a trail for us to follow through the
hedge of protection to never go back to that way again, then marching
unto the path to glory.... does that make sense?
So the call comes to all who read this, this day, and the Lord says "Choose you this day whom you will serve" and I pray it will be the Lord and not the gods of this world and that you will run to that narrow path and follow Him and then .... above all else LoveEachOther and trust in Jesus!
Shalom!
I can't tell you how wonderful it was to see the welcome that PM. Netanyahu received as he addressed congress and America. The timing was remarkable and the message was clear.
The timing truly is a G-d thing. As the feast of Purim is about to be celebrated tonight in Israel to mark the time in history when the plot to destroy the Jews was exposed and stopped. We can see the same pattern emerging from the same place and for the same reasons and by the same enemy, not the people, but the same spirit of rebellion, hatred and cruelty.
As the message came to the head of the King, the decision maker, so also does the message come to the head of our country, the people, and may we make the right decisions as we go forward in this volatile time in life.
It is my hope and prayer that as the plan was foiled in times past, it will be once again and may G-d bless this country for standing for Israel and may God also foil the plans that would see the true America destroyed!
Please continue to pray for the peace of Israel and America ......and above all else LoveEachOther and trust in Jesus!
Please join me in prayer, would you?
Like if you agree..... Thanks.
