Unpacking your fleshly baggage!

Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gated and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life and only a few find it. Mathew 7: 13-14

This is a summary of the Joyce Meyer message on Friday morning at the Relentless Women's Conference.

Are you walking on the broad or narrow path? In respect to the verse above all of us would probably like to say " The narrow", of course. The narrow path and gate is small, and it leads to life. Broad is the easy path and many of us walk through it. On the narrow path there is no room for junk. We can all testify that we have some junk in our lives we must deal with. Let's not be fake here... Ladies, it is time to unpack your fleshly baggage. It will not fit through the narrow gate. Got your attention? Good!

Be determined to walk on the narrow path that leads to life. In order to do that we must examine our life. We must check our goals, motives, and attitudes. Going one step further we must check our mindsets, how we treat people, and how we see ourselves. The narrow path calls us to unpack some stuff that we just don't need. We often find that we can get real comfortable with our junk. The narrow path requires confrontation as we are limited in what can go with us on the narrow path. Let's look a little closer.

Check and unpack your baggage:
1. Anger, resentment, and bitterness will not fit.
2. Guilt, condemnation and unforgiveness are too big to fit.
3. Poor pitiful attitudes will not work. Are you pitiful or powerful?

Do you get the point? What do you need to unpack in your life to get through the narrow gate? The broad path is wide and requires no unpacking, but eventually you will get tired of carrying it around. Sooner or later you will add more luggage and frustration. Why not go at life a little lighter? Start unpacking today!

More to come later....

In His love,
