The Fork In The Road

There IS a ~Fork~ in the road of everyone’s life, a ~decision~ of, which direction one must take.. IT Looms ever before us, and daily we must take The *RIGHT* Fork.. AS Jesus Described IT IN Warning:
(Matthew 7:13-14).. AS Jesus Said, “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.”
(Luke 13:24)… Again Jesus Said, “Strive to enter in at the strait gate: for many, I say unto you, will seek to enter in, and shall not be able.”
The ~Choice~ of which road to take IS Given us by THE Father… Similar and in the same context that HE Gave Adam and Eve and, all born on this earth since, A Choice: TO Obey ~OR~ TO Rebel….
AND OF Course, the road that leads into the ~Fork~ IS the “Luke Warm” Path which will eventually veer off into the path of destruction..
(Revelation 3:15-16)… Jesus Said, “I Know thy ~Works~, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold OR hot… SO THEN, Because thou art ~~Lukewarm~, and neither cold nor hot, I Will Spur thee out of My Mouth….”
So for the ones who try to straddle the fence and walk with one foot in the world to appease the nations, their customs and celebrations, and with the other foot walk into the Sanctuaries toting in the trash of the world continually, beware of the ~Lukewarm~ path that is being trod….
(Deuteronomy 30:19-20)… “I Call Heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I (THE LORD) have ~SET~ Before you, “life & death”, “blessing & cursing”: Therefore **CHOOSE** life, that both thou and thy ~Seed~ (children) may ~Live~: That thou mayest *LOVE* the LORD thy God, and thou mayest *OBEY* HIS VOICE, and that thou mayest *Cleave* unto HIM: FOR HE IS thy life, and the length of thy days…
So many run about teaching and preaching, “God loves us,” “Jesus Loves you,” BUT I never hear IT Taught, that ~~we, the people~~ Absolutely MUST *LOVE* The LORD with ~ALL our hearts…. LOVE Must be reciprocated in a marriage doesn’t *IT*?
(Jeremiah 21:8) .. Thus saith THE LORD; “Behold, I Set before you the ~Way of life~ and the ~way of death~…
(John 5:24).. (Jesus reiterated this same message) .. “Verily, verily, I say unto you, he that heareth My Word, and believeth on HIM that Sent Me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation, but IS passed from death into life.”
(Romans 8:6) .. (Paul understood the message).. “For to be carnally minded IS death, but to be spiritually minded IS life and peace”…
Most folks consider being carnal as; drunkenness, depravity, more or less something that someone else is doing, never looking at our own doorstep as to the carnal things that we may be seeking, and to be carnal IS simply to be concerned about ones own self, what we are gonna eat, what fun we are gonna have, actually a selfish attitude in the ways of the world… Something to chew the fat over isn’t it?
(Revelation 2:10) (AND Yet Again Jesus promised), “Fear none of those things which thou shalt suffer: Behold, the devil shall cast some of you into prison, that ye may be tried, and ye shall have tribulation ten days, ~~Be thou *Faithful*~~ unto death, and I Will give thee a crown of life.”
In this and ALL the scriptures that I find, Jesus never promised that He would just move into our bodies, take over our thoughts and keep us in The Will and Way of The Heavenly Father, BUT He Did However, set a choice before us and a purpose to fulfill until the end of our fleshly life here on this earth.. That task was TO: Believe to the point of ~Faithful Obedience~ IN His Father and IN The Fact That His Father sent Him and that His Father and ours Will send a Comforter, the Holy Spirit or Ghost to Guide us, and to Testify of Both the Father and The Son to our heart and conscious and Again *IF*…. AS Jesus said:
(John 14-15) .. “*IF* ye ~Love~ Me., Keep My Commandments.”
We expect Jesus and The Father to Love us, but do we really love them as Jesus said we should?
Notice Jesus said *IF* and *Keep*..giving us the choice and task OF keeping His Commandments, He didn’t say I Will Hold you and won’t let you stray away from My Commandments, But He gives us that decision… He did promise to help us, to keep the enemy from us *IF* we keep our faces turned to Him… But He did not promise to hold us *IF* we decide we want to diddle in and with the ways of the world….
(John 14:16) Jesus again said, “And I will pray the Father, and HE shall give you another ~Comforter~.., that He may Abide with you forever.. (17) Even the spirit of ~Truth~, whom the world cannot receive, because IT seeth Him not, neither knoweth Him.. (24).. He that ~Loveth~ Me NOT, keepeth NOT My sayings: AND The ~word~ which ye hear IS Not Mine, But The Father’s which sent Me. (26) But, The Comforter, Which IS The Holy Ghost Whom The Father Will Send in My Name, He shall ~Teach~ you ALL things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.”
(John 15:26) .. “But, When The Comforter IS Come, Whom I will send unto you From The Father, even The Spirit of Truth, Which proceeded From The Father, He Shall Testify of Me.”
So, did Jesus walk about the earth testifying that God the Father lives in Me so I have nothing more to do, because He will not leave me and whatever I do IS good, and what ever happens to you just happens because God does not favor you, HE favors ME Only? OR DID Jesus, humbly and obediently walk about the land teaching and preaching the Kingdom of God, and The Way That leads to eternal life that ~ALL~ who hear and receive the message have the same opportunity to seek the rebirth.. The putting away of the fleshly actions and receiving the new spiritual walk in Christ? ….
(John 17: 3).. Jesus said, “This IS life eternal, that they might know THEE, The Only True God, and, Jesus Christ, Whom THOU Hast SENT.” (6).. I (Jesus) have manifested (Clearly made known), THY NAME unto the men… & they ~have kept~ THY Word. (8). “For I Have given them, THY Words which THOU hast given Me.” (20).. “I (Jesus) Pray NOT for these alone, BUT for them also which shall believe on Me through their word: (21) That they ~~ALL~~ may be ONE: as THOU, Father, art in Me, and I in THEE, that they may also, may be ONE in US: that the world may ~believe~ that THOU hast ~Sent~ Me.”
When we hear and see folks, no matter what walk of life they profess to trod, making fun of, mocking and joking about The Heavenly Father, HIS Kingdom, HIS Son, OR The Holy Ghost, what does this prove them to be? IT Shows only that they do not possess the proper fear of GOD. Leading us to conclude that we need to keep ourselves free of interaction with these people… Keep our witness plain and clear that we are humble servants of THE LORD, not frivolous participants of the world led by Satan and his demons… Look carefully before we take that step out onto the ~Wrong~ *Fork of The Road*!
