* When you’re always ready you never have to “get ready.”

* Jesus consistently told His disciples to “be ready.”

* EX: pushing someone.

* Vs 10-12 - there were bad things on the horizon.

* But Paul was ready.

* Vs 13 - I - AM - READY!

* We need this message today.

* How do we get ready?

* 1) Restate your dedication to the Lord.

* 2) Reaffirm your willingness to be used. “Here I am, send me.”

* 3) Recognize the things that would hold you back - ask God to show you.

* 4) Release those things in your heart (trust Him with those things).

* 5) Rehearse in your mind what it will be like.
