Strive to enter in at the strait gate: for many, I say unto you, will seek to enter in, and shall not be able.: [Luke 13:24

Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it. [Matthew 7:13-14]

“And redemption has two different parts: "come out of" and "entering into." First, you have to come out. Some people wants to bring the world in with them; but you got to come out of the world, to enter into Christ. You have to come out of unbelief, to enter into faith. There cannot be one thing in your way. To really have genuine faith, you must absolutely leave everything that's contrary to the Word of God, behind, to enter into faith.  And now then, we find out that we have come to another Ephesians, another Ephesus now. Where, that, in our intellectual denominations and so forth, and all of our educational programs has come to its--its Jordan, then we must have an--an Ephesians again. We must have an exodus, to "come out" and to "go into," for the Rapture. [The God Who Is Rich In Mercy, Phoenix AZ, 65-0119]

“They thought everything that belonged to the church would be saved. Jesus said, "Strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, and but few there'll be that'll find it." Let me warn you this morning, church, be careful. It takes time today in our self-righteous, self-sufficient generation of hypocrisy that we're living in, an hour that when men and women stand in the churches and in the pews, and sing the anthems of God, and walk out of that church, and smoke cigarettes, and drink whiskey, and go to dances, and--and live for the world, and tell dirty, smutty jokes, and call themselves Christians." [Strait Is The Gate, Jeffersonville IN, 59-0301M]

"Please explain, because you said that there would be just a small number go in the rapture." That is these on the earth that's going to be changed. Jesus said, "Strait is the gate and narrow is the way, but few there'll be that find it." "What about the people that believe in the Lord now and don't--and not the way you preach?"They don't have to believe this. They don't have to believe the way I preach it. See? Will they be saved?" Yes, if they believe the Lord. See? And if they--if they disagree and say, "I don't believe He's the Word. I don't believe in the baptism of the Holy Ghost," that shows where they're headed for, the tribulation period. But those who can accept the Word in Its fullness, not me preaching It, because It's the Bible says so.” [Questions And Answers 1, Jeffersonville IN, 64-0823M]

“Now, you're ordained to Life. You see It if you're ordained to see It. If you're not ordained to see It, you won't see It. Said, "They have eyes but they can't see, ears and can't hear." How thankful you should be, church! How you should straighten yourself up from these things! How you should be on fire for God! That your eyes beholds what you see, your ears hears the things you see. Leadership! Cut away the things of the world, accept the leadership of Jesus Christ, or you'll perish as sure as the world.” [Leadership, COVINA CA, 65-1207]

“We are in an exodus. Oh, my friends, my brothers, both present and that will hear the tapes, let me... as your brother and citizen of the Kingdom of God. Come out, in this exodus, for all that's left behind will bear the mark of the beast. Come out of Babylon. Come out of this confusion. Come out of these systems, and serve the living God. This great Angel of the Covenant! "Jesus Christ, in the form of God, thought it not robbery, but become equal with God." Now He's a Pillar of Fire, in the same form that He was back there, bringing that first exodus, bringing the second exodus, and here He is with the third exodus.” [The Third Exodus, Jeffersonville IN, 63-0630M]

“Friends, I've always tried to keep a balance of the road. You get way off on formalism, just as formal and ritualistic as they can be, people grab for that lot. Then if you don't watch, you'll get plumb off over on the other side, and be just as fanatic as you can be. But there's a middle of the road, where the true sound, sane Gospel is preached, and God moves in there, vindicating the truth. "Strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, but few there'll be that find it." [God Has A Provided Way, LVL KY, 54-0404E]

“And as soon as we got all the world and unbelief in God's Word beat off of us, then we can scream and shout because Eternal Life is sure, just as certain as anything. Certainly, because all the world is beat off. If you keep the world onto you, keep loving the world and the things of the world, you're sure to die. But if you can get away from all of that, then your youth will be restored. You'll have Eternal Life. ” [Letting Off The Pressure, S PINES NC, 62-0609E]

“Now, the thing to do is from your heart be a Christian, now enter in at the strait gate. For broad is the way that leads to destruction, and millions times millions in this generation of believers will go in thereat. Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, just you and Christ alone. Narrow is the way that leadeth to Life, and just a few there'll be that'll find it. Now, that's the Words of our Lord. “ [Strait Is The Gate, Jeffersonville IN, 59-0301M]
