TRUE CONVERSION...


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 there at: Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and FEW there be that find it.  Matt. 7:13-14.  The revelation of this scripture has alluded me for years. Based on the number of churches that exist in the world one would believe the way to GOD IS WIDE AND MANY ARE FINDING HIM! But reality clearly shows many are finding the church building but few are being CONVERTED. This truth is seen in the life of Peter 3 ½ years with Jesus experiencing one on one tutoring and unable to find the way. Luke gives us insight in Peter’s lack of conversion:   “And the Lord said, Simon, Simon, behold, Satan hath desired to have you, that he may sift you as wheat: But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not: and when thou art CONVERTED, strengthen thy brethren.  And he said unto him, Lord, I am ready to go with thee, both into prison, and to death. And he said, I tell thee, Peter, the cock shall not crow this day, before that thou shalt thrice deny that thou knowest me.  22:31-34 I’m no longer baffled by so called believers who are professional actors that have the ability to give great performances. This election has revealed the hearts of these professionals that used the church as they’re battering ram. “For this people’s heart is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes they have closed; lest at any time they should see with their eyes and hear with their ears, and should understand with their heart, and should be CONVERTED, and I should heal them.” Matt. 13:15
