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 live as citizens of heaven 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 “Live as Citizens of Heaven” 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 living as citizens of heaven.


We will be able to participate at an advanced level of citizenship when we enter heaven.

More familiar with the ways of heaven, our experience there will be greatly enhanced.

We will greet our friends we join in heaven with warmth previously developed before heaven and our hearts will experience much gladness.

Living more closely with God in His kingdom here before heaven will advance greatly our relationship with Him for all eternity.

We will learn ways of living that will last for all eternity.

We will build our resumes for our future service in heaven.
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.

Sanctification Booster #1:

Let’s take time now to list the many things in our present culture that will not be in heaven, attitudes, goals, activities, behaviors, ways of talking, and priorities.

Sanctification Booster #2:

Think of persuasive ads on television and brainstorm reasons to ignore them as not fitting with the kingdom of heaven.

Sanctification Booster #3:

What are some of the things that happen in church that are not appropriate for citizens of heaven.
