Be With Me: 7 Minutes of Biblical Wonder

Welcome to the Book of Revelation. The type of literature is a SHOWING. There will be a lot for our spiritual eyes to see.  This will be our exposing ourselves to God, thru Jesus, thru an angel, thru John, thru the writing as He exposes Himself to us. I cannot wait!

There is a blessing proclaimed here for the hearing, for the reading  and for the keeping. We humbly approach this book because of what it is: the revelation of God Himself. We humbly approach this book because of what it asks: to read and KEEP it. Thank you for joining me in these 7 minutes bites of the elephant of God's SHOWING. Welcome to the SHOW.

Come back tomorrow by bewithme.us or bewithme.us@gmail. Apple Podcasts, CastBox, Podcast Addict, Spotify, Overcast, etc.  Subscribe there too.

123 John is a love story. God started it all because God is love.  He then shares that love with us so we can share it with folks around us. 

123John is a compact book of wisdom and practical knowledge.  In it we learn how to recognize the genuine lover of God and how to recognize the pretenders. 

In 123 John we learn that the people of God are being HELD by God.  For what might the Lord be holding on to you for you to hold on through? Listen 7 minutes for a summary of the BEST OF 123John. Castbox podcast addict Overcast etc.

Our allegiance to God should result in evidence. The Children resemble the family. We should be in a new relationship with sin: NOT making a practice of it. NOT being in the habit of it. Agreeing with God by being horrified by it.

Then, we take this internal transformation outside.  We love the sisterhood. We love the knuckleheads God has placed around us in the church. Our behavior should leave a trail of the breadcrumbs. This trail of tenderness acts as a witness to ourselves, to our brothers and those not yet in the family. It probably will be sacrificial, inconvenient, and frustrating.

The way we are going to pull all of this off is by ABIDING in God: staying with Him, remaining, lodging with and relying on Him. This is the engine He's provided to empower the love of the brotherhood. bewithme.us for more BEST OF tomorrow. I so appreciate your ear and your soul.

123John is a love story of God to people.  It is about a loving God who then evidences that love by action. Similarly, our being loved and being in God's family should give evidence as well.  He asks of us that our allegiance result in evidence. 

We are spiritual children. This means that we OOZE needfulness and adoptability. Remember, SUFFICIENT people don't think they need a savior. We are before a God who is in the forgiveness business. Why? because we are in the SIN business and that must be taken care of.  

Listen for some of the great highlights of 1 John Chapters 1&2 and then come back tomorrow by visiting bewithme.us.

How'd you like to be a person who comes with a WARNING LABEL stamped on you? We meet such a person in 3John.  He's a guy who gets authority wrong. This leads to additional errors of thought and action.  He demonstrates being anti-missional and anti-church. The church should not tolerate such a person.

Let the people of God, treat the sent of God, in a manner worthy of God. Too, let the people of God, treat the deliberately NOT of GOD, as if they are NOT from God.

Let's be a missional church and all that means. Let's get authority right. Let's be careful of all those walking around with a WARNING LABEL slapped on them.

Bewithme.us is a website to sign up for a daily email to remind you to listen. Apple Podcasts will do the same.

There are 3 main characters in 3rd John:

• The MISSIONARIES: those who have GONE OUT for the sake of the name. They should be enjoying the love and support of the church.
• The MISSIONALS: those who labor in speeding those along who have been sent out by relationship and actual financial support
• The ANTI-MISSIONARY: those who thwart missionary efforts by rebellion of the heart; rebellion of the tongue; rebellion of the wallet; and rebellion towards the whole effort

Let the people of God (the missionals) treat the sent of God (the missionaries) in a manner worthy of God.

A crisis launches the letter of 2John.  It is a failure to KEEP ON TRUCKIN' with Jesus. There is a group that fails to KEEP ON TRUCKIN' but says otherwise. They don't match  the truth and the love, with the words.  (Credit R.Crumb for the 1960's era cartoon and concept!)

We discern the truth in people by what they say and do.  Are they KEEPING ON TRUCKIN' with the TRUTH?  Are they KEEPING ON TRUCKIN' with love of the knuckleheads? Are they KEEPING ON TRUCKIN' with Jesus?

The caution is of course don't KEEP TRUCKIN' with those who aren't KEEPING ON TRUCKIN' with Jesus, but say they are.

We hold on to Him while He HOLDS us, when the high waters come.

The One born in Bethlehem PROTECTS those who are born again.

We are being HELD by God, while we are HOLDING FAST.

The Lord will bring you THRU what the Lord brings you TO. 

For what has the Lord been HOLDING YOU for you to HOLD ON thru?

People have asked for thousands of years this question: "What sins, what bad behaviors lead to DEATH?" The very sobering answer is, ALL OF THEM. At least, without the intervention and grace of God, 100% of sins result in the consequence of separation from God.

So, don't purposefully, willfully, and habitually put yourself into the category of being responsible for the consequences of your shortcomings. First, don't sin. Second, don't make a habit of it. Third, repent quickly. Fourth, get a bunch of people to help you with this. Fifth, let Jesus, with His big weapons, help with the forgiveness process.

Do NOT put yourself OUTSIDE of this process. Otherwise, ALL sins lead to death. Listen 7 minutes. bewithme.us share this on your FB feed.  Like and subscribe at any podcast provider. Spotify, Google &  Apple Podcasts. 

Sometimes junior officers ask senior officers, "Permission to speak freely, sir?" ie: "Do you really want to hear what I have to say?" Similarly, we ask that same question of God.  Fortunately, He answers YES.

We are to have a confidence in the willing ear of God. He's given us access and knowledge so that we can be doing something: plainly, even boldly, speaking before Him.

If you knew that God really heard you today, what would you ask for?
Does your conversations with God in quantity and quality demonstrate that you are heard by God?
