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 show mercy and be compassionate with 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 “Show Mercy and Be Compassionate with 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 showing mercy and being compassionate with one another.

In heaven when we see the lack of illness, handicap and misery we will experience joy commensurate with the extent that we allowed ourselves before we died to show mercy and compassion and deal with misery so up close and personal.
If we develop our spirits to be like Jesus who when on earth showed much mercy and compassion, our connection with our Lord will be closer and our spirits will blend with His spirit to a greater degree. |
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:
Jesus took on limitations to his life so he could give time and energy to minister to the most needy. List ways that Christians can limit their lives to have more time for those who are in need of mercy and compassion. Sanctification Booster #2: List ways that Christian families, marriages and friendship groups can show mercy and compassion to those disabled in their churches, neighborhoods, or elsewhere. (If this is baffling, talk to someone who works in home health care. They meet daily those with unmet hardships and needs.) Sanctification Booster #3: List some of the spiritual things Christians can discuss with those suffering that will make their lives more meaningful. |
