Now let us take a look at the disciple training system that Jesus used. You will notice that they didn’t pick Him. He picked them. He has certain criteria that they have to meet. Some of that “meeting of the criteria” will be revealed through testing.

The first test is, will they follow when called? But, other criteria is between Jesus and His Father. Does the Father approve of this person? A lot of time, effort, and money are expended on people that don’t meet the Father’s criteria. On the other hand, no time, effort, or money are expended on some people who would have met the Father’s criteria had they been given the chance.
