The sad state about this current Christian generation is that they believe that they are on their way to heaven while they are on the broad path to destruction. Christians today who are on this broad path of destruction really do think they are on the narrow way. Jesus said that broad is the way to destruction and that many are they who go by that way but narrow is the way to life and few are they who find that way. He said to strive you therefore to enter the narrow gate, for many will try but few will be able to. This world has been deceived into thinking that they can be on the broad path and be saved at the same time. These Christians on the broad path think that the narrow gate lies at the end of the broad path when that couldn't be further from the truth. They believe that they can continue living the ways of this broad path and still enter the kingdom of God. But I want to warn you today my friends, that the ways of the broad path are very evident and the ways that people follow in this world are what people do on the broad path. They follow the ways of this entertaining generation. They follow the ways of entertainment and of music and all these things and they think that they're on the narrow way. In their churches they bring in sports and drinking and song fun and dance yet they don't follow Jesus on the narrow way. He didn't say that was narrow and difficult and few people would find it for nothing! Now these churches think that they're on the narrow way too yet t
Jesus calls each and every person to know him. He said in the Bible that his sheep know his voice and they follow him. He also said: I will say to many people on the last day, go away I don't know you, you workers of sin. Jesus is real and Jesus hears and speaks. Does Jesus know you? What will Jesus say to you? Jesus called me to be a witness for him. He said: if anybody wants to follow me they must pick up their cross, deny themselves and come follow me. That is what I have done. Now is this what you are going to do? Do you hear his voice? When I turned to the Lord and did what he said, which is to deny yourself, pick up your cross and follow him, he started to speak to me and to show me things. Does Jesus speak to you? Has Jesus told you what he thinks of you? Are you pleasing to him? How is your relationship with Jesus today? Do you know him? What will Jesus say to you?
It is very dangerous to assume anything. Christians assume they are pleasing to Jesus. They assume that they will enter the kingdom because they go to church, because they read the Bible, because they profess Jesus, and they think they believe in him. But I want to warn you that it is very dangerous to assume anything. A brother in Christ knew a certain friend of his and he was showing in a dream this friend who had died as a Bible believing churchgoing Christian. And he went to the gates of heaven, and at the gates of Heaven he was told: Go away I don't know you. Many Christians they assume that the Lord knows them yet they don't hear the Lord. They don't hear him speak to them. They don't know if he's pleased with them and they don't have a relationship with him to know if they are on the right path with the Lord. They are not led by the Spirit. Never assume anything. Instead spend your time in serious dedication and seeking the Lord so that you can actually come into a relationship with him, where you arent going off assumptions entering the kingdom. You're going off the reality of following Jesus as his disciple. Never assume that you have enough faith to enter the kingdom of heaven. Instead lay your faith in Jesus and obey him, seeking to live a life dedicated to him so that you will know what to do and he will lead you as his servant. And you will have communion with the Lord. Jesus said I stand at the door and knock if anybody wants to open the door I will come in and
