🎙️ Open Heaven Podcast – Day 83: Friends of God Through Abiding
📆 90 Days Walking with the Holy Spirit
🌿 Abide 21 – Day 14
đź“– Scripture Focus:
“You are My friends if you do what I command you.” — John 15:14 (NASB)
đź’¬ Episode Description:
Welcome to Day 83 of the Open Heaven Podcast and *Day 14 of Abide 21!
Today’s verse, John 15:14, is one of the most powerful declarations Jesus makes:
“You are My friends if you do what I command you.”
Jesus is not only our Savior and King—He also invites us into intimate friendship with Him. But this friendship isn’t based on casual belief or performance—it flows from obedience, which itself is a fruit of abiding in Him.
Obedience doesn't earn friendship with God—it reveals it. As we abide in Christ, the Holy Spirit gives us both the desire and ability to walk in His Word. This is not about striving—this is about remaining connected to the source of grace, where obedience becomes a natural outflow of love and relationship.
🔥 In this episode, we explore:
✔️ What it truly means to be a friend of God
✔️ How abiding in Christ empowers obedience
✔️ Why friendship with Jesus is rooted in trust and surrender
✔️ How to move from religion to relational intimacy with Christ
✔️ Why obedience is not pressure—it’s the privilege of those who abide
🙌 Key Takeaway:
Jesus calls you His friend. Not because you’re perfect—but because you’re connected to Him through abiding. Friendship with God is possible, powerful, and deeply personal. Let today’s episode remind you that your strength comes from abiding, not achieving.
