Our Savior paid the steepest price to save us from the coming wrath of God and Hell. (1 Thessalonians 1:10) It is written, “For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast.” (Ephesians 2:8-9) Do you know that there is a high price and “cost to count” to follow Him on the narrow path? (Luke 14:25-33) Yahshua (Jesus) says to us, “Enter by the narrow gate. For the gate is wide and the way is easy that leads to destruction, and those who enter by it are many. For the gate is narrow and the way is hard that leads to life, and those who find it are few.” (Matthew 7:13-14)
Following His biblical mandates have never been optional, they are foundational and absolutely indisputable requirements for the true holy walk following Yahshua (Jesus) on the narrow path."
- Matthew 16:24, 7:13-14 -
Our loving Savior continually reemphasized the most important truths by which one can follow Him into His Kingdom. He prefaced it frequently by saying, “he who has ears to hear let Him hear what the Spirit is saying.” (Matthew 11:15) He was stressing, don’t just listen, but hear and take to heart so that you can know the truth and “the truth can set you free.” (John 8:32) His following biblical mandates have never been optional, they are foundational and absolutely indisputable requirements for the true holy walk following Yahshua (Jesus) on the narrow path. They all pivot from, “You shall love Yahveh [the LORD] your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your strength and love your neighbor as yourself.” (Mark 12:30) This summarizes all the commandments and the Savior’s mandates, which are based on these principals of love and obedience in order to follow Him. It is written, “For Messiah’s love compels us, because we are convinced that one died for all, and therefore all died. And He died for all, that those who live should no longer live for themselves but for Him who died for them and was raised again” (2 Corinthians 5:14-15).
Yahshua (Jesus) proclaimed to all, “If anyone wants to follow Me [out of the flesh, out of the world, into the Spirit, into the eternal Righteous Kingdom] he “must deny himself, take up his cross (crucifixion stake) daily, and follow Me. For whoever desires to save his life [in this world] will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will save it.” (Luke 9:23-24) What did our Savior mean when He said, “we are to carry our own cross?” We are to carry our cross daily and be crucified daily to our flesh and all that it encompasses, so that the world is crucified to us and we live, in, by, and for the Spirit, and the Almighty’s glory! There are two different entities; the supernatural, spiritual, born again, washed in the blood child of God verses a lip serving carnal person who thinks all is well with their soul, when in reality they are living by the flesh and are at odds with the Spirit of Yahveh.
Yahshua (Jesus) also made it clear, “If anyone comes to Me and does not hate [lightly esteem] his or her own father, mother, spouse, children, brothers, sisters, yes, and hate even their own life, they cannot be My disciple.” (See Luke 14:26) What He was saying is, He alone is to be our utmost heart’s desire and the foremost love of our lives, in order to truly pay the price to follow Him.
Most people are not taught what Yahshua spoke and proclaimed was the cost we have to count to follow Him. Our Savior did not preach a cheap grace and easy gospel message. On the contrary, He made it clear that those who wanted to follow Him would have to pick up their cross and be crucified to the world and the world to them. (Galatians 6:14) To suffer with Him, rejection, heartache, trials and tribulations. (See Matthew 16:24, James 1:2-4, 1 Peter 4:12, 2 Timothy 2:12) This is the one thing that holds people back in their walk with Him, because they want to maintain the bonds of earthly love and the comfort that comes from it. The dread of the discomfort of having those relationships that are the closest within our marriage, children and churches disrupted and shaken is too hard to come to terms with to follow Yahshua (Jesus) at any cost. Our Savior’s response is, “Don’t think that I have come to bring bonds of peace, but I have come as a sword that is going to divide.” (Matthew 10:34) He goes further to say, “the division will begin with the people close to you, within your own households and family. The one who wants to follow Me must turn his or her heart towards Me, first and foremost.” (Matthew 10:36, Revelation 2:4)
Self is the universal god of the majority of people. Multitudes of deceived Christians do not know and love the truth, because their self nature, self will, and self righteous religion is exactly what their god of self likes.”
Yahshua (Jesus) the Living Word always spoke by the power of the Spirit of God. He proclaimed over and over again, “I speak the truth, but you don’t believe what I say.” (John 8:45) Since the Garden of Eden the enemy has posed his lying questions to put doubt to the validity of God’s word. It is not God’s word that changed, and the devil has not changed, but the Deceiver and our own flesh nature working together changed its meaning to suit what satisfies our flesh and its desires for this world and other people. Self is the universal god of the majority of people. Multitudes of deceived Christians do not know and love the truth, because their self nature, self will, and self righteous religion is exactly what their god of self likes. It has no restraints and no one telling them what is right or wrong, because they know what is best for them. They say, “You respect me and I will respect you.” The god of self has total rulership over the minds, lives, and eternity of humanity except for a very small remnant who are putting to death their self nature, crucifying their lives to the world and the world is crucified to them. Yahshua’s righteous remnant treat “the self” as the enemy that it is to the Holy Spirit's dominion over their lives.
But, grievously, the church by and large, believes a self seeking counterfeit gospel message that embraces a worldly self indulgent lifestyle calling it, “a blessing from God”. But, the Holy Spirit is the true gift from our Heavenly Father so that we can put those things on the altar and die to them. It is completely backwards, because it is Satan’s lie. Thus, multitudes deny grace, the true gift by which we come to live in the Spirit and grow up to be like Yahshua to enter His kingdom. The enemy is always there to twist and distort what is coming as truth and before the majority of people hear it, it is filtered through their own understanding, so they hear what they want to hear and believe what seems right to them, “but the way therein leads to death.” (Proverbs 14:12).
Yahveh God Almighty says, “My people perish for a lack of knowledge” of biblical truth and My perfect will! (See Hosea 4:6) Notice He did not say those people, He said My people. This is to emphasize where the broad path leads. It may seem while you are here on earth that all is well, because everybody else believes the same way you do. However, until you get to the gates of heaven and find out you denied your Savior by not denying yourself. You did not do the will of the Father and you will hear Him say, “I don’t know who you are or where you come from. Depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness [the breaking of My Father’s commandments].’ (See Matthew 7:21-23, Luke 6:46)
No one can make you love someone and no one can make you love our God and Savior. Yahshua said, “If you love Me, you are going to obey Me.” (John 14:15) The Apostle Paul warned with tears, saying, “the enemy is going to come in like a wolf among sheep and distort the truth, because the people would want preachers who would tell them what their itching ears, their flesh nature and its desire for the world, wanted to hear. (See Acts 20:29-31, 2 Timothy 4:3) Therein began an influx of counterfeit gospel preachers, because there were so many, especially the Gentiles who were coming in to fill Christianity, who did not want the true Jewish Messiah and the true gospel message that called for the denial of self to follow Him. In Thessalonians 2:10-11 Paul goes on to say, “they will perish, because they did not have the love of the truth [a love for Yahshua] so as to be saved. For this reason God will send upon them a deluding influence so that they will believe what is false…” The Almighty actually gives them over to Satan, to believe his lies and to be deceived and delusionary, thinking that their thoughts and the doctrines that they believe in, are actually the truth.
You are either one with Messiah and one with the Father, making you one in the living eternal body of Yahshua through dying to your flesh, or you walk in the flesh with a form of religion that denies the power of the Holy Spirit to teach you how to walk a crucified life.”
- Luke 9:23, 2 Timothy 3:5 -
If you live for yourself, live for the world, and serve yourself, that means you are serving “Satan, the god of this world” who has deceived the church into believing a self pleasing, your best life now on earth until you go to heaven gospel. (2 Corinthians 4:4) This pleases people, fills the churches, and it brings a giddy, happy, joyful message that is filled with drunkenness on the world, rather than the sobriety that we need. As Apostle Peter said, "The end of all things is near. Therefore be alert and of sober mind so that you may pray”, according to the will of God, for the help that you will need to make it victoriously to the end. (1 Peter 4:7) To many, truth is not important, so we have a completely different Yahshua (Jesus), a completely different gospel, all counterfeit, all leading away from heaven into hell. (2 Corinthians 11:4) The Almighty King of all glory is only going to spend eternity with those children who have walked in obedience, who denied themselves to live in the Spirit, because to live in the Spirit is life in Yahshua. If you do not have a love for the truth, you are not “all in”, because Yahshua is the truth and in order to be in Him and with Him, you have to love the truth. The ones who don’t, are “all out”. You are either one with Messiah and one with the Father, making you one in the living eternal body of Yahshua through dying to your flesh, or you walk in the flesh with a form of religion that denies the power of the Holy Spirit to teach you how to walk a crucified life. The majority of professing believers are walking out of the Spirit, and if they die in that state of living their whole spiritual life in a counterfeit, that endorsed the flesh and the love of the world, they will die apart from the Savior eternally.
Yahshua (Jesus) promised, “Truly, truly I say to you, if anyone follows My word, he will never see death.” (John 8:51) His “called, chosen, and faithful” servants have already died proactively by obeying His mandates of being “crucified to the world and the world to them”. (Matthew 16:24, Galatians 6:14) They continually “put to death the deeds of their flesh” and “do not try to save their lives” in this world, because to them “to live is Messiah and to die is gain”. (See Revelation 17:14, Romans 8:13, Luke 9:24, Philippians 1:21) They long to be with their beloved Redeemer now in these bodies and eternally in His presence. They have “godliness with contentment, which is great gain.” (1 Timothy 6:6) Where as, those who live for the flesh and its selfish pursuits and desires, have more and more gain in the natural. Their joy and peace comes from the world with its diverse dissipations, but the day will close on them suddenly like a trap. (Luke 21:34-35) They won’t spend eternity with Yahshua (Jesus), because they cultivated everything in the natural realm, with the things of the earth for their self nature, and tried to save their lives and they will lose them eternally. (See Luke 17:33)
The cost to follow Yahshua (Jesus) is very high, this is why He said, “you have got to count it.” (Luke 14:28) We have to know what it is in order to count it, and then be willing to pay it. Our Savior’s love for us and our love for Him makes it easy to pay the price, that is, if you have given up self love and the love for others in order to make Him the foremost and first love of your life. It is all based on perfect love. His love for us, which caused Him to die to redeem us to be one with Him forever and our love for Him, because “the Holy Spirit sheds the love abroad in our hearts” for our Savior, that we can know Him intimately. (Romans 5:8 and 8:5) His redeemed righteous remnant, His “little flock” love to spend more and more time with Him in His presence, where there is fullness of joy beyond any joy that there is on this earth! (Luke 12:32, Psalm 16:11)
Yahshua Messiah is the only way, the only truth, and the only life. No one comes to the Father except through Him.” (John 14:6) If we don't want the truth and to follow Him, we will miss heaven. Count the cost, and walk in it this side of the judgment seat, or it will be too late. You have a free will, the choice is yours, deny yourself or deny Your Savior.
Let us pray:
My Father in heaven, I pray that You will help me to live the rest of my life for Your eternal and holy purposes. Yahshua (Jesus), You said that where our treasures are, that is where our heart will be. I don’t want to leave my heart in treasures in this passing world, that as prophesied, will be under the rubble of judgment and destruction. I need the help, power, and grace of Your Spirit to shift my focus, affection, and treasures above in Heaven, where they will last eternally. Please forgive me for walking on the broad path of this world and not following You on the narrow path that leads into Your righteous Kingdom. You redeemed me to become a spiritually born again holy child of God, learning to walk not after the flesh but in the Spirit. If I am not truly born again of Your Spirit, I want to be. Please help me and forgive me of my sins and spiritual failures that have grieved You by denying the rulership of the Holy Spirit. I repent, I have sinned against You Yahshua (Jesus), by wasting so much of my life, being preoccupied with self-seeking gratifications in this temporary world that You died to redeem me to come out of.
My Savior, search my heart and convict me of my sin, and Your righteousness, and Your judgments to come. Please create in me a pure heart, where You alone are my utmost love, foremost desire, and my true source of everlasting joy. I am in need of Your sacrificial blood to cleanse me of all the ways that I have sinned against You. Forgive me for living in my flesh, looking for the joys and thrills for “what’s next” on earth, rather than living in the Spirit looking heavenward and making You my exceedingly great reward. I don’t want to have any outstanding sin that will testify against me when I stand before You, the Eternal Lawgiver and Judge, at the judgment seat.
Yahshua (Jesus), I thank You for waking me up with the spiritual alarm clock sounding, “it’s midnight, don’t wait, it’s almost too late.” I now recognize the urgency to surrender my life, to get in order with You under the rulership of the Holy Spirit. Please, stir up within me a hunger and a thirst to read Your word and to seek Your will, so I can walk in agreement with You. In the Scripture You warned that there would be so many believers who would call You“Lord and Savior” but would squander their lives, living in the flesh, and the world. Please forgive and help me to not fall into that category of grieving Your Holy Spirit. You are a holy God and You said that without holiness no one will see You or live in Your Kingdom.
Thank you for hearing my heart cries of repentance and for cleansing me with Your precious blood, clothing me with Your righteousness, and filling me afresh with Your Holy Spirit. Thank you for sending me Your Spirit “the Helper” who gives me the grace and power to be more than a conqueror over my flesh, the world’s pulls, and Satan’s deceptive enticements. I am eternally indebted to You for dying for my sins to redeem my soul. With Your merciful help, I can follow You, Yahshua (Jesus), in surrendered obedience and victorious faith. I am longing to hear You say, “Well done, My good and faithful servant.”
