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 spur one another on to love and good deeds 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 “Spur One Another on to Love and Good Deeds” 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 spurring one another on to love and good deeds.

We will more naturally put the desires of God before all else and fit into the way of heaven where He will be 100% of our heart’s desire.
We will have increased capacity for joy with God’s being delighted. We will experience more thrill for God getting what He wants in heaven. Standing up for God in the difficult task of getting Christians more involved in costly love and good deeds will endear us with God and intensify 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.

Sanctification Booster #1:
How can Christians put God and what He wants done first? How can Christians increase their awareness with more than “spare time focus” on what love and good deeds God wants them to do? Sanctification Booster #2: What “good things” might Christians do too much that prevents them from having time for what other Christians spur them on to do in the way of love and good deeds? (Examples: giving their kids too many fun opportunities or spending too much time watching television.) Sanctification Booster #3: It often seems too intrusive to spur another Christian on to love and good deeds, but what will they miss if we do not push less active Christians to love more and do more good deeds? |
