“How Narrow is the Narrow Way?”
Simple ramblings from The Secret Place…
“And He said to them, “Strive to enter through the narrow gate, for many, I say to you, will seek to enter and will not be able!”” Luke 163:23-24
“Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it. Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it.” Matthew 7:13-14
How Narrow is the Narrow Way?
”Beloved Daughter, if you always looking for the peaceful places without problems or challenges — then you must question whether I can ever truly use you to stand on the front-lines of battle, to contend for My Kingdom!”
Friends, this morning I was reminded again by these Words when as I was on the verge of giving up.
Those Words defined many things for me then, and they have truly challenged my heart on many occasions, as I continue to journey with Him into the unknown places.
Now as I was contemplating those Words again, I heard The Spirit whisper, ”My Beloved — how narrow is The Narrow Way?”
My reply: ”Tell me Holy Spirit — tell me — just how narrow, is The Narrow Way?”
And The Holy Spirit replied, ”Beloved, it’s the way of Total Reliance and Complete Dependency on The Way Maker — that’s Me!
The Promise Keeper — that’s Me, and The Light in the darkness — that’s Me!
Beloved, how narrow is The Narrow Way?
I tell you, it’s the way that requires Total Surrender to My Spirit — Total Yieldedness to My Power.
Daughter, it’s a deeper realm and dimension of Total Abandonment and Absolute Relinquishment to My Word and to My Will.”
As I heard those Words, I cried out, ”Father, let Your Kingdom come, let Your Will be done on earth — in me first — as it is in Heaven.
Then let Your Kingdom come and let Your Will be done in my territory, in my region and in my Nation, and in The Nations!” (First in me — an earthen vessel…)
Again I heard Him say, “Beloved, how narrow is The Narrow Way?
Do not think it strange that My Spirit leads you by a unfamiliar path — The Road Less Traveled — the way of solitude and even seeming silence.
Beloved, how narrow is The Narrow Way?
It’s the way of intimacy — the place of Activation and Impartation — the place of Divine Exchange, where My Spirit broods and overshadows you, where what you behold — you become!
For it’s here that you will learn to lean — to incline your ear — to my gentle whispers.
It is here that I will teach you, train you, and transform your life for My Glory!
But fear not! Put your life in My Hands.
Trust in My Timing, and fix your gaze upon My Face. Freedom does not mean unrestricted liberty, for I put boundaries and safeguards around that which is precious to my heart.
I set My Angels charge to watch and to uphold that which is priceless to Me.
The Garrison Walls of My Glory protect and preserve your soul from the way of worldly abandon.
Beloved, you are Mine, and you belong to Me! No enemy shall touch you or harm you.
Beloved, how narrow is The Narrow Way?
It’s the way that’s paved by The Stones of Faith, Love and radical Hope — but a way forged by The Fires of Affliction, Suffering and great Sacrifice.
It’s a way that leads to The Door of Abundant Life and greater Liberty.
Yes! It’s the narrowness of The Narrow Way, that brings forth mighty Warriors, mantled with might and power, the birthing place of fearless brave-hearts who have ventured into the land of giants, and returned with a Victory shout!
So I ask you, Beloved, how narrow is The Narrow Way?
I tell you, it’s like the eye of the needle. It’s a place where the greatest level of demonic Warfare is taking place, where the very Birthright and Destiny of Nations is being violently contended for. A place of intense wrestling for the blessing.
It’s the way that is steep and rocky — that requires sure footing and keen vision.
The place of the hinds’ feet anointing, for it’s only in The High Places, that Divine Perspective is received — and its in the deeper realms and dimensions of My Glory — that great battles are fought and won!”
Friends, God is always purposeful, and so when we are experiencing — or have experienced a time of great battle — it causes a hunger and a thirst for Him.
God will often allow us to go through intense battles, because it can become a catalyst for intense thirsting for the rivers of His refreshing power.
This morning,..I was taken to Judges 15:15-19,
“He found a fresh jawbone of a donkey, reached out his hand and took it, and killed a thousand men with it. Then Samson said: “With the jawbone of a donkey, heaps upon heaps, with the jawbone of a donkey
I have slain a thousand men!”
And so it was, when he had finished speaking, that he threw the jawbone from his hand, and called that place Ramath Lehi.
Then he became very thirsty; so he cried out to the Lord and said, “You have given this great deliverance by the hand of Your servant; and now shall I die of thirst and fall into the hand of the uncircumcised?” So God split the hollow place that is in Lehi, and water came out, and he drank; and his spirit returned, and he revived. Therefore he called its name En Hakkore, which is in Lehi to this day.”
Ramath Lehi : means the hill of the Jawbone!
En Hakkore : means the spring of him who prayed!
I heard The Spirit say, “I AM releasing The Waters of Refreshing for those that have become weary in battle.
Ha! Watch, for I AM releasing a fresh Anointing of My Spirit in the mouths of My Remnant in this hour — and their jawbones shall be strengthened, and I will make them into a new threshing sledge with sharp teeth — and they shall thresh the mountains and beat them small — and make the hills like chaff!”
I see God releasing a “Jawbone Anointing” to destroy the enemies who come against them in the seasons ahead.
Their words will carry the weight of His Glory upon them — a weight that will become like a mighty wreaking ball to demolish and destroy the strongholds of darkness in this land.
I hear these Words,..”On The Hill of The Jawbone, I will show myself as The Mighty Breaker, as The Mighty Redeemer and Restorer, The Lifter of Men who have become weary in battle.
And out of the hollow of the Jawbone, streams of Living Water shall burst forth to Refresh and Revive the thirsty!
I say, open your mouths wide and I will fill it!
I say, taste and see that I AM good!
I say, a new and fresh Jawbone Anointing shall come upon My weary Warriors in this hour, and with My Word in their mouths — they shall destroy their enemies!”
Blessings to you all.

When I read “What you behold – you become” I received an image of you, Veronika, looking eastward. You beheld the reflection of the sunrise on the body of water, and you were gloriously transformed.
Correction! YES LORD! YOU ARE SOOO GOOD AND WORTHY TO BE PRAISED! THANK YOU ABBA FATHER & Thank You Veronika❣️
URS LORD YOU ARE SO GOOD! THANK YOU ABBA❣️
I, the weary warrior, sure needed this today! So thirsty am I, in the desert…in that place of giving up, I move on now, encouraged by these words from the Lord. I’ll go forward with hope and a promise that I am right where I need to be. Right where HE has me, in that narrow place, of Hinds’ feet anointing. A good place to be still and know…
Thank you Veronika! And praise GOD for speaking through YOU!
Thank you for this word !’ I have asked God to fill me with this anointing if it’s His will as He only really knows as he formed me and made me and I’m not here by mistake Praise Jesus mightily
Wow! I love what U wrote here and all the way down 2 the passage where it talkes bout the narrow way as the needles eye, I could sense the anointing SO strong. Thank U 4 your close walk with God and pls share more of whatever the Father gives U green light 2 do. Wow.
Yesterday I took a piece of paper and I wrote down this; A NARROW GATE PRODUCTION. How very strange indeed!!!He, he!!! Now I will read your post Veronika.
Almost 8 years ago, God gave me a trance vision in my REM sleeping. I was at my work place, looking out of the window. Suddenly the earth appeared before my eyes. It was out of order and messy. After a while, the earth was cleaned by Jesus’ hands. It became crystal clear. In a few seconds, the scene was changed. I saw a gigantic, super-wide waterfall of life flowing into my place which is on the 11 th floor from the throne of God. I couldn’t breathe owing to the spectacle. I also could see His beautiful sanctuary vividly from my place. This is my first time to tell somebody. Because of my calling, I have been going through various, unbelievable ordeal until now. So I understand what you heard from God; the narrow way is the total reliance and complete dependency on the way maker. So comforting. Thank you God and Veronika. With the same comfort. From. South Korea.
Wow! I needed this today! I had a dream years ago that I stood between the narrow way dry, no trees no anything) and saw to my right the wide way an avenue with lights and cars coming and going fast and I looked at the narrow way and at the wide way and have to make a decision, and after I looked to both I chose the narrow way. I started to walk and saw stones dry soil hot sun on me then I saw people sitting on rocks resting I kept going kept walking didn’t looked back that was all. Your word reminded me of that dream and what I chose. Thank you. M J
Such an encouraging, powerful word and confirmation to me after all I’m going through. Oh, the Breaker is coming through, yes. He spoke to me words in the night: Breaker anointing; taste and see the Lord is good; and I counsel you to buy from me gold tried in the fire. He is the potter, I am the clay. Yes, we can’t give up. The calling is too great. He told me, Will you join me in my work? To bring life to the lost, to show them the One who can redeem mankind, to bring glory to the Father? No, we can’t give up. The calling is too great. We shall be mighty warriors, shining ones, pillars of fire for our Abba, our God. Thank you for sharing your heart.
Sooo Good!! Thank You Abba Father!!
I recently saw a vision of myself walking through what looked like the trenches of World War One, but there were sharp jagged edges on both sides. I knew it was the “Narrow Way”. But confidence in Him was being produced and I knew I’d make it through the road less traveled. Not by flesh, or any other way than Him.
Abba Father, I surrender!!
God bless you beautiful lady!! :)
