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.

Make Straight Paths For Your Feet
Proverbs 3:5,6; Hebrews 12:12-17
"Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will direct (MAKE STRAIGHT) your paths."
"Therefore strengthen the hands which hang down, and the feeble knees, and MAKE STRAIGHT PATHS FOR YOUR FEET, so that what is lame may not be dislocated, but rather be healed. Pursue peace with all people, and holiness, without which no one will see the Lord; looking carefully lest anyone fall short of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up cause trouble, and by this many become defiled; lest there be any fornicator or profane(godless) person like Esau, who for one morsel of food sold his birthright. For you know that afterward, when he wanted to inherit the blessing (of his birthright), he was rejected, for he found no place for repentance, though he sought it diligently with tears."
We make straight the paths of our feet by seeking Him to find Him; knocking on His door so that He may open up to us; asking of Him to receive Him. These actions result in the Father, in the name of His Son, Jesus Christ (whose name is "The Word of God") by the ministry of the Holy Spirit, revealing Himself to those who approach this way. As we do so the path becomes clearer and produces His healing for our lameness. Peace and the holiness continue to be formed on the straight path to/through the narrow gate, producing fruit for others to see what God is doing in the lives that we live through/with/in Him. So fulfilling the path becomes, because of who He is to us, that we are much less likely to deviate from it.
You don't make straight paths for your feet by your design. He is the Author and Finisher of our faith!
