Be With Me: 7 Minutes of Biblical Wonder

It is no surprise that God opposes that which opposes Him.  The real surprise is that we can agree with Him in that process. He invites us in to hear the truths that stand against Him and then join Him in resistance.  We are on the right team. We have the right powers. We have the right Leader.  Now act like it.

The invitation today is about having the right EAR; tuning ourselves to the communication of God by attentiveness, quietness, humility and then discernment.
There are dragons to slay, beasts to fight and powers to oppose.  We are going to need clear ears to get this big job done.

The amazing thing about losing one's FIRST LOVE relationship with God is that it is RECOVERABLE.  You can walk back the divorce.  You can be restored in relationship.

There are steps to take, but it is worth it.  If you find yourself at loggerheads with the Lord, then today's message from Revelation should be an encouragement. If you continue to be hard hearted after hearing this opening, then today's message will be a warning.

Join me for 7 minutes as we consider how to RECOVER the dearness. bewithme.us Apple Podcasts, insta, fb. Like and subscribe.

The Good news is the Ephesians were DEAR TO THE LORD.  The bad news is that they lost their first-love intimacy with Him.  They got to a state where HE wasn't quite DEAR to THEM.

Our passage is not so much about DUTY, but of DEARNESS.  The Lord is in our relationship with us in a profound way.  He desires to be DEAR TO YOU. Let's do what it takes to let Him.

Listen tomorrow too at bewithme.us bewithme.us@gmail or Apple Podcasts.

The Church at Ephesus does so many things RIGHT.  When God drops the curtain of all pretense and looks carefully at them, there is much to commend.  May this be true of us.

Imagine God doing a spiritual health check up.  He doesn't have to FIND anything, He KNOWS already. God knows truly who we are.  The question is, do we? Let's assess this same idea with the Lord in ourselves.

Somebody had to first be sorry for your sins so that you could then one day be sorry for your sins.
He had to first take your sins seriously so you could soon take them seriously.
The only reason that Jesus DIED was to help you LIVE without sin.

Listen 7 minutes today as we see Jesus twirl His spiritual keys about. He boldly show us He has the keys of Death and Hades.  He is telling us His credentials.  Death? Hell? I'VE GOT THIS. bewithme.us

You will see Jesus some day.  He'll probably have Royal robes and a sash of Gold; Holy hair; feet of powerful ability; hands that hold an army; a mouth full of the Word; and my personal favorite: Eyes that are not green or brown, but are like flames of fire. 

He has a voice that can roar like the roar of many waters.  If you have ever been to Niagara Falls and ridden on the Maid of the Mist, you know what I am talking aboutl

John falls down, and I suspect we will too. Let's make sure it is not from wailing and grief at His arrival or our arrival to Him.  Let's let it be in "worth-ship".  Listen 7 minutes today and tomorrow.

Many people when they die are decayed, lowly, degenerative, sometimes paralyzed, and sometimes full of cancer. When we meet them in heaven, will they look the same? Surprisingly, the Bible has a lot to say about it.

Jesus bore our image HERE so we could bear HIS IMAGE THERE.
He bore the image of dust so we can bear the image of immortality.
He came to look like us here so we can look like Him there.

Based on the fact and power and reality  of His own resurrection, we'll be changed, imperishable, spiritual and even glorious. I cannot wait. 

If you think this is a bunch of bunk, listen and see if you are right. bewithme.us subscribe on Google podcasts or wherever.

If you wanna find God, go look in the midst of His people.  He is found in the midst of the knuckleheads He loves.  

He is in the midst in the Garden of Eden with Adam and Eve.  He is in the midst of the Israelites in the Exodus. He is literally in the middle of the churches of Western Asia.  Should it be any surprise that we will find Him today in the midst of the church He loves?

Moses understood, "If you are not going to go in the middle of us, we are not interested in going." He begged for it. So should we.  bewithme.us to find God tomorrow too. Listen, on Apple Podcasts and Castbox and Spotify.

It is my suggestion that you :

• place yourself along side the people that God has placed Himself alongside. 
• go stand in the middle of those whom God stands in the middle of
• listen from the place where God speaks as loudly as a trumpet
• stand in the midst of those God stands in the midst of

Where is this amazing place? It is in THE CHURCH. It is in the literal, local, knucklehead-filled, imperfect church. Yup, you in the pews this sunday. Why? Because Jesus is in the MIDST of His real church. Join Him.

bewithme.us Listen to the 7 minute podcast. It is excellent today. ;-)

When Jesus comes back, absent His help, all the earth will WAIL at His appearing. It is every individual saying, "Oh NO! Judgement is here! I'm in big trouble." Or, we can WELCOME His appearing. To do so, we'll need significant help.

First, We'll need help with our death problem...if we could only find Someone who is "the firstborn of the dead..."

Second, we'll need help with our sin problem...if we could only find Someone who has "freed us from our sins by His blood..."

Welcome to Chapter One of His revelation. Come back tomorrow fro more awesomeness. bewithme.us Apple or other podcast servers.
