  4. Revelation 2:26–28: The one who conquers and who keeps my works until the end, to him I will give authority over the nations, and he will rule them with a rod of iron, … even as I myself have received authority from my Father. And I will give him the morning star.

  7. Revelation 3:21: The one who conquers, I will grant him to sit with me on my throne, as I also conquered and sat down with my Father on his throne.

We talk to God directly concerning the things upon which we have reflected.
