Let me end this chapter by inviting you to look at the Scripture which serves as its
basis once more. Consider what the Spirit of Christ is speaking to you, through these words.
Ask Him to reveal the application to your own walk.
A day is close at hand when judgment is coming to the church. Many who have had
an abundance will be reduced to great poverty. Is it not much better to freely surrender to
the Lord’s direction in your life, than to have Him take what you have by force? There is
great reward for those who release their possessions of a free will, for as the Lord told the
rich young ruler, “and you will have treasure in heaven.” There is no reward if you cling to
that which your flesh cries out for until it is suddenly snatched out of your hands.

Matthew 7:13-14

destruction, and many are those who enter by it. For the gate is small, and the
way is afflicted that leads to life, and few are those who find it.”
