Day 3: Be Ready by Becoming a Trusted Disciple 0:00 Welcome to this pray dot com series from Kingdom Voices brought to you by W publishing. In this series, John Bevere unpacks key aspects of spiritual readiness for the return of Christ, helping you live with0:12 clarity, urgency, and hope as you anticipate the coming king. If you enjoy this series, we invite you to go deeper with John's New York Times best selling book, The King is Coming. It's0:24 time to prepare for the return of Christ.0:27 Day 3. Be ready by becoming a trusted disciple. Even though some people believed to the extent of complete trust and reliance on Jesus,0:39 he didn't initially trust them. He knew that human beings, unless tested, are not necessarily reliable. He loved them and served them, but he could0:51 not yet place his trust in them. Later, at the last supper, he was with those who had endured to the ministry's end. With gratitude and affection, he announced,1:03 you are those who have stayed with me in my trials. Luke 22 28. In essence, they had suffered through all the hardships without quitting. Peter would have1:14 a major hiccup that evening, and so would the others, but they would all later repent and turn with even more faithful and loyal hearts, and Jesus knew it. Jesus then said to1:26 them, no longer do I call you servants, for a servant does not know what his master is doing. But I have called you friends, for all things that I have heard from my father I have made known to1:38 you. John 15 15. A servant is not someone you can confide in, work closely with, or entrust your heart to. This you do with a1:49 trusted friend. After the resurrection, Jesus would call us brothers and sisters, John 20 verse 17, Hebrews 2 11.2:01 Some siblings are not proven trustworthy. However, a sibling that is a dear friend is another level of closeness. Jesus longs to be2:13 bonded as closely as possible with us. How can we not respond with our entire heart and life? James writes, blessed is the man who endures temptation,2:25 for when he has been approved, he will receive the crown of life. That's James 1 12. Just as our groom was granted an eternal throne, the2:37 highest of all, so we, through sharing in Christ's sufferings, will be granted an eternal throne. Then I saw thrones, and sitting on them were those to2:49 whom authority to act as judges and to pass sentence was entrusted. Revelation 20 verse 4. To occupy a throne means you've been entrusted with the3:00 king's heart and, subsequently, his authority. He knows you'll rule as he would rule. It's the greatest honor given to a faithful Christ follower.3:13 Father, I desire to be a child that you not only love unconditionally, but whom you trust. Please give me the grace and the strength to endure with you.3:25 In Jesus' name, amen.In this video 0:00 Day 3: Be Ready by Becoming a Trusted Disciple
