INTERESTING HOW THE WORD “CHOICE” MEANS (in the Hebrew) TO BE CLEAN OR PURGE OUT.
Knowing that Yahusha opens a PORTAL in our hearts after genuine repentance and conversion, we realise THE PORTAL IS FOR US TO COMMUNICATE WITH HIM, this is so that we can hear His voice audibly. "MY SHEEP HEAR MY VOICE". Yahusha has throughout history always opened a portal for His chosen to guide them, relate with them and LOVE us. He has even done it on a massive scale through the Tabernacle and the Temple.
While Yahusha was on earth He chastised the Pharisees and the Scribes, because they were teaching opposing beliefs. Today we have the same oppositions, but we call them `carpetbaggers'. These false religions and priests Yahusha said, “stand in the doorway of His Reign/Kingdom to stop believers from entering.” Yahusha said, "SEE, I HAVE SET BEFORE YOU AN OPEN DOOR, AND NO ONE IS ABLE TO SHUT IT.”
WHAT IS THAT DOOR/PORTAL ??
WHY! IT IS THE NARROW GATE !
While we stand before the Narrow Gate, Yahusha warns us that that we have 2 CHOICES on our path. One path is wide, and enters destruction (which means we never existed), the second path leads to the “Narrow Gate” (which is Hard Pressed, and leads us to partaking from the tree of life i.e. eternal life). To enter the Narrow Gate means we must be cleansed by Yahusha. The Hard-Pressing comes with the Hebrews 12 experience, unless we are willing to be chastised, disciplined, and flogged to extract the worldliness from our being and behaviour, as Yahusha says, “THERE ARE FEW WHO FIND IT.”
YAHUSHA GIVES US A GREAT SCRIPTURE TO WALK WITH DURING THE HARD PRESSING TIMES:
1COR 10:13 "No “TRIAL” has overtaken You except such as is common to man, and Yahusha is trustworthy, who shall not allow you to be tested beyond what you are able, but with the TEST shall also make the way of escape, enabling you to bear it".
