NARROW PATH TO CHRIST

Good Afternoon Saints! God says: Are you dead or alive? There are a lot of things in

this world that is made to satisfy mans flesh but there is only one way to God and that's through His son Jesus Christ! The Bible says: “No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him. And I will raise him up on the last day.” John‬ ‭6:44‬ ‭ESV‬‬. In essence God guides you to Himself! And for that to happen you have to die to self for the Lord to come in. If you are alive in the flesh this exchange cannot occur. To die to self means to override and look pass every fleshly desire and temptation and follow the guidance of the Holy Spirit! The Bible also says: “And calling the crowd to him with his disciples, he said to them, "If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me.” Mark‬ ‭8:34‬ ‭ESV‬‬. Your cross will have issues so stop worrying about who likes you at church! Stop wondering where is your money going once you give it! Stop wondering why you didn't get elevated when you think you should have! God says that's part of your cross! Bear it, keep your focus on Him and praise Him for what He's doing and already has given you! Live in Christ Jesus and die to selfishness! I love you all with the Love of Jesus Christ! Stay Blessed and Faithful! Elder Ken Simmons, Pastor
