The gate is where we die to self, there is no room on that path for SELF AND Jesus. Jesus said there are few who find it. FEW. Why? because the wide road that leads to destruction that most take is SO much easier. The society that we live in today loves “easy” – instant everything, and gadgets to make our lives “easier”….so we are trained to think “easy”. Difficult is a word that today is AVOIDED as the path to take…so taking up our cross, pain and suffering, is avoided for comfort. Revelation 3 and the Laodicean Church describes it to a “T”.

[Having no life of our own, but only His Life, is Resurrection.
Taking Up The Cross Daily]
and “What is the…” in [How do we maintain the Life of the Lord in us? Was is the testimony of the apostle Paul?]
And especially : {God desires to increase Christ and enlarge Christ in us}; instead of : [God desires to increase us and enlarge us; He therefore call us to go back to the Cross and start over again.], isn’t it ?

I have been all over your site & I am looking forward to reading all your articles…I feel like I have been led by God to your site as this is what I have been looking for…I studied for 2 years under C. Peter Wagner & even managed to get my bachelor’s & master’s degrees through their ministry but months later found out that his ministry is a hoax along with all those that embrace his dominionism. I am soooo thankful to you, Chip, for being one of the bright lights I have needed in my life…I started your discipleship course last night…Thank you & God bless you & your family!!!

separates children from there parents this year i am

expecting great things from the Lord believe that the Lord

will bring them back to you just show them Christs love no

questions or expectations his love will melt there hearts.

You are his vessels he will surely do this.The word says ask

and you will receive just believe.What is impossible to man

is possible to God.When we walk in him according to his will

and purpose we are his channels and he will fulfill the

desires of our hearts.In the past i walked as a carnel

christian because of this my prayers and faith were weak and

ineffective i laid aside the things of the flesh and are

expecting awesome things because i am no longer double minded

God can use me more effectively.Dying to self is the key to

being more than a conqueror and having the victory in ones

christian walk i desire to see God touch lives around me

starting with my family.For we no longer walk in the natural

man but according to the supernatural{jesus}that is

powerful.regards brentnz

If you like Chip Brogden, I think you will like Hannah.

One thing I have come to experience is that I can’t do the dying myself. There is nothing in ME that wants to die or to even be willing to die. Jesus has to do it ALL! I don’t know the depths of that yet, but I know that if I have my part in anything, there is that little bit of performance left, even if it seems “good”. Jesus will have no part of the flesh, the bad or the good!

I’m clearing out my closet, I’m trashing the pretentious emails, I’m focusing on one thing – taking up my cross daily & following after my Beloved – He will be my portion!!!

Thankyou Chip
Bless you all
Humbly in Jesus
