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 administer God’s grace to one another 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 “Administer God’s Grace to One Another” 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 administering God’s grace to one another.

The more we pay attention to God’s grace now, the greater capacity we will have to truly experience His grace in heaven, the more we will be able to sense, absorb and appreciate grace upon grace upon grace in heaven.
Paying attention to what God gives us now that we do not deserve or have claim to, which is grace, will make our spirits more capable of realizing a greater portion of God’s love for us in heaven. We will be more prepared to show others aspects of God’s grace in heaven, magnifying worship of the citizens of 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 #2: Let’s take time now to list some of the smallest, often overlooked things in our lives that are also gifts of God’s grace. (For example, how can a beautiful flower, as grace from God (unearned and not owed us) communicate God’s love for us?) Sanctification Booster #3: Let’s take time now to list some of the spiritual and emotional things, like peace, that come into our lives that are gifts of God’s grace. |
