      ABOUT OUR COVER

      In our life here on earth there are but two paths we have the freedom of choosing to travel on as we journey toward eternity. The wide path appears paved with gold, but it is only fool’s gold. How easily those greedy for the riches and things this world has to offer, are deceived into following the wide path.

      Although the wide path appears free of hindrances, it is filled with demons, seeking to lead us further and further away from knowing, loving, and serving God. This path filled with darkness, will lead to eternal death if we continue on to the day we die. The other path, the narrow path, is full of light, hope, and blessings. It also is made narrow, by the choice we must make each day. Jesus said any choosing to come after Him, must daily take up their cross and follow Him. Thus the narrow path is lined with crosses. We may choose each day to either take up the cross, or walk around and away from it. Yet with each new day another cross lays before us with the same decision to make, using our free will. To continue traveling the narrow path you must decide to follow Jesus. As you do you will discover taking up the cross becomes easier and easier, as love becomes a way of life.

      This is the message our cover is meant to convey. May your journey be a BLESSED one as you travel the narrow path toward eternity.

      INTRODUCTION

      From the day of our birth on earth each of us is at the beginning of a journey. We are pilgrims in this world, traveling on a journey toward eternity. The journey is quite an adventurous one. It is filled with danger, fun, excitement, challenges, rewards, laughter, sorrow, tears, and joy. Many are the different paths we travel on as we make our journey. Sometimes after taking a wrong turn, it seems as though we are in maize. Perhaps, in a way we are, for there is but one path leading toward our goal of reaching Heaven. It is the narrow path, and can only be found and followed by those choosing seriously to be guided by the Holy Spirit of God.

      There are occasions when we allow satan to deceive us into turning on to the wrong path. It is a path glittering with “fool’s gold,” leading to destruction and eternal damnation. satan’s goal is to rob us of our inheritance as the son or daughter of God (The Kingdom of God within), steal the joy of our loving relationship with our Father in Heaven (from which we draw our strength), to kill our desire for a Savior (permitting us to perish, believing in his lies), and destroy our spirit’s successful journey toward Heaven (that we may spend eternity with him in Hell).

      This is why it is so very important in our journey toward eternity, to choose only the right one to call Master, to love, listen to, serve, and follow. When we choose satan, the father of lies, we have chosen the dumbest of the dumb to be our guide. A third of the angels who once were in Heaven, can confirm this is so. They listened to and chose to follow satan, now their eternal home is Hell. You who proudly choose following satan will one day join them there Forever! Unless you choose to truly repent, seeking the Blood of Jesus to cover all of your sins.

      There is the voice containing wisdom from above, it is the still, small voice of the Holy Spirit. He is given by Jesus to all choosing to become “born again.” The Holy Spirit not only will guide our path; He will furnish us the defensive and offensive weapons we need to defeat satan, as we journey on the path leading toward eternity in Heaven. This book is dedicated to, and written by the influence of the Holy Spirit.

      THE JOURNEY BEGINS

      We are born into this world spiritual beings, made in the image of God; possessing an eternal soul and spirit encased within a mortal body. Descendants of Adam and Eve, as we grow we find we have knowledge of both good and evil. This knowledge is shared with us by what we call, “the voice of our conscience.”

      From the day of our birth we are on the journey toward eternity. In the course of growth, our body goes through a process of maturing. Our spirit likewise strives to grow into attaining spiritual maturity. That which is of the spirit, is of eternal value. While that which is of the flesh, is of temporal value. This is why spiritual maturity requires us to look beyond the temporary things surrounding us, and look to
