Week 24 · Season 3 · Step 6: Readiness for Change
Belt of Readiness
Counting the Full Cost
Belt of Truth · Luke 14:25-33
““So therefore, any one of you who does not renounce all that he has cannot be my disciple.””
Luke 14:25-33 · ESV
Big idea
Examining areas of resistance and reservation; counting the cost of transformation.
Jesus told would-be disciples to count the cost (Luke 14:25–33). The rich young ruler went away sorrowful because the price of the kingdom was his treasure (Matthew 19:16–22). Readiness is not a feeling of inspiration. It is willingness for God to take whatever the old life used as scaffolding — even if it once felt like survival.
Read your letter of complete readiness to God every morning. Identify one lingering reservation and surrender it. Pray Luke 14:28–33 over your life. Share with the group one cost you are now willing to pay.
