Jesus Christ said, "Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it. Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it." (Matt. 7:13,14 NKJV). Narrow Gate Ministry serves to assist the christian to completion in Christ Jesus; to walk just as Jesus walked. The christian must understand what Jesus meant by "difficult is the way" to experience His victory in it.

Receive, Keep Receiving (Luke 18:15-17)
"Then they also brought infants to Him that He might touch them; but when the disciples saw it, they rebuked them. But Jesus called them to Him and said, 'Let the little children come to Me, and do not forbid them; for OF SUCH IS THE KINGDOM OF GOD. Assuredly, I say to you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God as a little child will by no means enter it.' "
Was Jesus saying that only little children could enter the kingdom the kingdom of God, or was He telling us that we should receive God's kingdom as little children receive things? Little children listen intently to those around them, often recanting what someone had told them when THEY ASKED A QUESTION. Because they were interested in a particular topic, they asked, and when they asked they received an answer. The validity of that answer may be called into question and refuted later by more correct information, but, inquisitiveness was met with information. Although we have experienced the imperfection of that process with men, it is not so with God.
"....how much more will your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him!" (Luke 11:13)
Those in Him must continue to receive Him in that manner: as little children receive information from those around them. Good ground receives seed and produces; some 30 fold, some 60 and some 100 fold. Good ground is synonymous with receiving His inspiration and every intent to make it a part of our lives! Remember, to those who have(what He imparts) more will be given and that one will have in abundance! An abundance of Our Exceeding Great Reward!
