A SERVANT OR A FRIEND OF GOD
“No longer do I call you servants, for A servant does not know what his master is doing; but I Have called you friends, for all things that I heard from My Father I have made known to you." John 15:15 (NKJV)
It is at the friendship level of your relationship with God that you get to know the secrets of His Kingdom (Psalm 25:14). A friend who is at the deeper level of friendship is called confidant—a friend to whom secrets are confided.
Things that are not revealed to those whose relationship with God is shallow would be revealed to you—If you are God's confidant. It is the delight of God that a believer grows in his or her relationship with Him. Friendship level of relationship with God is higher than being a servant of His. At the friendship level you are made to know the hidden things of the Kingdom—the ways of God, whilst the acts are revealed to those with shallow relationship with Him: "He made known his ways to moses, his acts to the children of israel" (Psalm 103:7 NKJV)
Another translation says: "He showed moses how he works to help his people. He showed the israelites the great things that he could do." Psalm 103:7 (Easy English Bible)
In other words, the depth of your relationship with God determines the depth of the things that would be revealed or shown to you about Himself and His Kingdom. Someone who has gotten to the friendship level in his or her relationship with God will be privy or have access to the top secrets of the Kingdom (Psalm 25:14).
It was said of Moses that among the prophets he was in a class, that no one was in his class; whilst God speaks through dreams and visions and dark sayings to others, He speaks face to face or mouth to mouth with Moses (Numbers 12:6-8).
You can work yourself to the level of friendship in your relationship with God; like Abraham did, likewise Moses (Isaiah 41:8; James 2:23). Even among the disciples of Christ Jesus, some had close communion with Him; they were the three He usually took to special places. They were with Him when to raise Jairus’
Daughter, on the mountain of transfiguration, and at the garden of Gethsemane (Mark 14:32,33). It shows us that Jesus' relationship with the multitudes was at one level, whilst the relationship with the seventy He appointed and sent out to preach was at another level, and His relationship with the twelve disciples was another level, and at the top was His relationship with the three: Peter, James, and John.
Even out of the three, one was still closer to Him than others, John. What others could not ask Him; they send John to ask Him—he was said to usually lean on Jesus' bosom (John 13:21-26).
Peace.
