Which Gate do you choose?

Matthew 7:13-15, “Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it. Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.”

Luke 18:8-9, “I tell you that he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless, when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth? And he spake this parable unto certain which trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and despised others.”

There are two gates that leads to this “fast train” of life. We choose which gate to enter and the train to ride on. This world of lost sinners and too many Christians have chosen the wide gate and they are riding on this fast train of destruction that is full of false belief, false hope, false doctrine, and full of deception and it is heading to the gates of Hell and its conductor is Satan and his demons. But there is another gate that leads to the train of Salvation that is only in our Lord Jesus Christ. It is full of the followers of the Lord Jesus Christ and they are holding high their shield of faith and the Sword of his Word and they are not ashamed of the name of Jesus Christ and they have not denied their faith in Jesus and they have not denied his name. They have been baptized in the name of the one who shed his blood, and they have received the baptism of the Holy Ghost which the Spirit of God Almighty. They are the redeemed. They are the Over-comers. They have a robe of pure white because they have been washed in the Blood of the Lamb.

Satan and his demons are doing a great job in spreading their words of lies and false hope. In 2nd Corinthians 11:13-15, “For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ. And no marvel; for Satan, himself is transformed into an angel of light. Therefore, it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.”

Souls are being deceived and heading towards the pits of hell fire and who will reach out to these lost souls, who will pull them into the ark of salvation. Who will stand and fight the battle for the lost souls. Who will enter the Devil territory and tear down the gates of the prison where souls are held in the chains of bondage. Who will stand and hold their shield of Faith and their Sword of His Word high and take the fight to the enemy. Who will pick up their Cross and their Sword and never retreat but always claim victory. Why, because you are in the army of the Lord and victory belongs to you, if you will only stand tall and claim it.

If Satan knew about the Power that is in the Blood of the Lamb of God, then he would have done everything to prevent the crucifixion of Jesus, because the Blood and the name of Jesus became the Purchased Price for every soul that turn to Jesus. There is power in the name of Jesus and power in His Blood. The same Spirit that moved upon the face of this earth in its creation, is the same Spirit that God poured out in the baptism of the Holy Ghost. If you have the baptism of the Holy Ghost/Spirit in you then you have the Spirit of the Almighty Supreme Being that we call God. No wonder it is written, “because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world (1John 4:4).” Why, because you have the Spirit of your creator in your body and you have become a living walking Temple of the Spirit of God Almighty. Know who you are. Know what you are. Know what you can become. You are an overcomer and you can become a great warrior for the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

In the beginning of “The Church” three thousand souls baptized on the Day of Pentecost and Satan and his demons took notice. They had a problem because they were now confronted with the Power of the name of Jesus and his Blood and God was now in a Temple not made by hands but inside of each believer. How was Satan and his demons going to defeat this Jesus name movement?

Satan turned to the established religion of the Jews. The High Priest then set out to destroy this Jesus name movement. Persecution followed, and the followers of Jesus were placed in prison, killed or they fled from the area. But the Jesus name movement grew, and Satan then turned to the government and Herod the king, killed James the brother of John with the sword and because he saw it pleased the Jews, he proceeded further to take Peter also. Satan then turned to the Roman Empire and persecution became wide spread. But the more persecution the more the Jesus name movement grew. Satan’s plan was not working. But a new plan was forming. A plan to infiltrate into the ranks of believers. His plan was to destroy this new Jesus name movement from within.

A Spiritual war against the name of Jesus Christ and the believers in Jesus started on the Day of Pentecost. We are still in this Spiritual war and we are fighting against the powers of Satan and his demons. Be not deceived by false prophets and false preachers but place your trust, your hope and faith only in the Lord Jesus Christ and always be full of the Spirit of God Almighty. The Spirit of God will warn you against these false deceivers. Listen and obey His Spirit.

The demons found believers that would listen to their whispers of lies and the seed of many false doctrines took root and began to grow. The apostle John said in 1 John 2:18-20, “Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time. They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us: but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us. But ye have an unction from the Holy One, and ye know all things.”

This world of Christianity today is reaching out with their Unity of Faith and proclaiming that all faiths believe in God and that we are to love everyone because we are all of God’s children. The NCC (National Council of Churches) is setting up interreligious meeting with the Muslims, Hindus, Buddhism and Jews. Their goal is to bring all faiths together and create a One World Faith and Satan and his demons are pleased. Remember what John said in 2 John 1:7-12, “For many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist. Look to yourselves, that we lose not those things which we have wrought, but that we receive a full reward. Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son. If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed: For he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds.”

No one can change the Plan of Salvation that was gave to the Apostles, not the Pope of the Catholic Church, not the leaders of different Protestant Organizations, not the WCC (World Council of Churches) or the NCC, not the United Nations and not the Supreme Court of this land. No one can change God’s Plan because it was the Lamb of God that hanged on that Cross and God still sees the Blood.

In Exodus 20:25, “And if thou wilt make me an altar of stone, thou shalt not build it of hewn stone: for if thou lift up thy tool upon it, thou hast polluted it.” This world of Christianity has taken the tools of appeasement and dressed the stones of salvation and they have polluted the Altar, they have polluted the Plan of Salvation. They are standing behind the cross and eating the evil things of this world and still proclaiming that they have the truth. From such, turn away.

They say that there are over 450,000 Churches in the United States and I am sure that each one is proclaiming that they have the “truth in salvation”. But how many are preaching the same message that the apostles preached? How many are preaching the baptism of the Holy Ghost/Spirit as in Acts 2:1-4? How many are preaching baptism in the name of Jesus Christ as in Acts 2:38. How many are preaching about being Born Again in the water and the Spirit as Jesus said? How many have departed from the Doctrine of the Apostles and Jesus Christ? How many are being “deceived”?

Jesus said in Luke, “which trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and despised others”. How true this is because too many are trusting in their own belief that has been handed down from generation to generation without searching the scriptures. If you tell them about Jesus name baptism and receiving the Holy Ghost, then you are despised by them, all because they refuse to believe that they are being deceived.

Jesus said in Matthew, “Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves”. False doctrine, false preachers and false teaching comes from the spirit of demons. There are many Churches that has a “false doctrine” and these believers are riding on the fast train to hell. Satan is pleased when souls refuse to “search the scriptures”. Satan is doing a very good job in removing the name of our Lord Jesus Christ and the teaching of the apostles. But who will stand and fight against Satan and his demons and uphold the name of Jesus Christ?

Jesus talked about two pathways, which one are you walking on? Jesus said, “Enter ye in at the strait gate”. This gate is center on Jesus Christ and the Doctrine of the Apostles. John 14:6, “Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me”. In Acts 4:11-13, “This is the stone which was set at nought of you builders, which is become the head of the corner. Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved. Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were unlearned and ignorant men, they marvelled; and they took knowledge of them, that they had been with Jesus”. Acts 2:37-39, “Now when they heard this, they were pricked in their heart, and said unto Peter and to the rest of the apostles, Men and brethren, what shall we do? Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call”.

But who will search the scriptures, who will search the history of the early Church? Who changed Jesus name baptism? Search the Doctrine of the Trinity that was created by the Roman Catholic Church and then search the scriptures for the “three persons in the Godhead”. Search the Book of Revelation and try to find “three persons” or even “three thrones”. If not, then you have become satisfied with a false doctrine and a polluted altar.

The broad gate and Jesus said, “for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat”. The broad way is full of deception and false doctrine. It’s a pathway of the pleasure of sin and self-rightness. The Apostle Paul stated it every will about those who are walking on this broad pathway, 2nd Timothy 3:1-7, “This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away. For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts, Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.”

This broad gateway is full of sinners and those who call theirselves Christians. How many souls are believing that they are within the Kingdom of God? Jesus said in Matthew 7:21-23, “Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.” In Matthew 25:10-13, “And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut. Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us. But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not. Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh.”

Search the scriptures, study the history of the early Church. It is up to you and only you. Are you and your family in the Ark of Safety. Are you READY for the RETURN of Jesus or will you and your family face the Tribulation Period? It will be a time of horror as you face the demons from hell.

Jesus said, John 5:39-42, “Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me. And ye will not come to me, that ye might have life. I receive not honour from men. But I know you, that ye have not the love of God in you.”

Which Pathway and which gate will you choose? Will it be the Gate to the Kingdom of God or the Gate to Hell? Will you just trust in what you hear, or will you search the scriptures? Will you search to see who changed Jesus name baptism, to Father, Son and Holy Ghost? Do you believe that you are in one body of believers and that body is Jesus Christ, if so then why not be baptized in the name of that “one body who is Jesus Christ”? 1st Corinthians 12:12-13, “For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body: so also is Christ. For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit.”

It’s sad, but too many souls are on this fast train of life that is heading towards the gateway of Hell. All because they have chosen the Broad Pathway. You have a choice to stay on that Broad Pathway or turn and choose that Gate that leads to the Kingdom of God. Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it. But beware of false prophets, false teachers, false preachers and false doctrine.

Which gate do you choose?
