When a man or woman is prepared, he or she will always get a call that is special. God always goes after prepared people. We are measured to be prepared vessels, meet for our Master’s use. We are vessels of gold and silver in His great house. Prepared people are sanctified, which means that they are set apart for a precise purpose.
Concerning His disciples, Jesus asked the Father to “Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.” Christ was saying, “Set them apart. Set their voices apart to sing My songs. Set their tongues apart to speak edifying words. May they have sanctified tongues. Set their minds apart to think with Me, to concentrate and dedicate themselves to discipline.”
The Lord Jesus prayed that everything about us would be set apart precisely by His Word. Truth prepares us to follow our specific call in His specific purpose for our lives.
