The host of the “2 or 3 with Jesus Meeting” leads off by saying:
“In this meeting let’s eat some goodies and put our heads together to stimulate more change into the image of Jesus Christ. In so doing, we will be cooperating with the work of the Holy Spirit to effect God’s purpose for our lives which Romans 8:29 states is to be conformed to the image of his Son. At the same time we will be preparing to experience heaven for eternity at a higher level. In brainstorming how we are to together hate evil and defeat it, we can see ways to grow our spirits, the deepest part of who we are, to be more like Jesus.
Hopefully, we have all listened to “Together Hate Evil and Defeat It” at HeavenBeckons.com.
These are some of the possible benefits in heaven we will be seeking today by opening our minds to the Holy Spirit regarding hating evil and defeating it.

We will be more aware of the absence of evil in heaven and be thrilled and appreciate it more rather than just taking it for granted. Additionally, our sense of peace will be greater.
Because we will be more separated from evil by our hatred of it, we will relate more fully to God who is holy and completely separated from evil. By helping other Christian cease evil in their thinking, feeling, and actions, we will gain God’s approval and gratitude which in heaven will also deepen our relationship with Him. |
We want our meeting to be safe and enjoyable. At other times and circumstances it might be appropriate for in-depth discussion, even loving confrontation. But these Matthew 18:20 Meetings are meant to listen to Jesus through the work of the Holy Spirit. Discussion is discouraged and expressed disagreement not helpful. What we each say needs to be uncensored so that the Holy Spirit can speak to one of us or all of us. This is somewhat like making a list of what all the foods we can prepare for a holiday dinner, but not deciding and letting time tell us what will be good.
Hopefully, many things we say and write down will urge us to Christlike change in our thinking, feelings and actions after we leave the meeting. We can each leave here to pray, hear specifically in our spirits from the Holy Spirit, and seek help from some of those in our Christian Inner Circle.
