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 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 GOTTHIS. 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.

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.

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..."

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 resemblethe 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 engineHe'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.

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.

Bewithme.us subscribe to Keep on Truckin' tomorrow. Or at Apple Podcasts.

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.

Does your conversations with God in quantity and quality demonstrate that you are heard by God?

Eternal life has a quantity of days. Everybody gets them. Everyone you know is going to live forever.
Eternal life has a QUALITY of days. Everybody does NOT get them. Everyone you know has an opportunity to get them.

The Bible defines this quality of eternal life as a life WITH the Son, WITH a relationship with Jesus. The days to choose Him are limited. In fact, today might be the ONLY day you have, so don't waste it. Quality eternal life comes to us only 1 way: thru Jesus. Quality eternal life comes to us only on 1 day: today.

What you believe about Jesus demonstrates what you already believe about the Father. To call Jesus a lie by unbelief calls the Father and the Spirit liars too. We all have spent at least some of our lives in that position. We all must admit, "OOPS, I called God a LIAR."

For many, the Spirit has already helped these actually TRUE testimonies of God finally "ring true" in their hearts. For those who have not, my prayer is for conviction and the courage to say "OOPS , I have had this wrong all along. This stuff really IS TRUE." May real truth actually RING TRUE in hearts today.

Today's passage wants us to do something with our OUTSIDES too. Go love the brotherhood and so demonstrate the warm fuzzies that are on your INSIDE. Because God FIRST-LOVED you, go and second-love the sisterhood in a similar way. Because of God's MEGA-love, we are to share it in our inadequate, MICRO-love way.

We love the INVISIBLE God by loving the VISIBLE knuckleheads of God. This "obedience" to love people proves an internal, invisible love for God. It is proving something you cannot see by the doing of something you CAN see.

Those who bear the name-title "Jr." are supposed to resemble their patriarch. The characteristic that God wants us to inherit is His LOVE. For:
God is Love--It is His primary characteristic; His DNA
Love is from God--His love spills out. He didn't keep it all to Himself
Love is shown most clearly in Jesus--He fixes the unfixable and is the walking example of how to love
Love of People is the primary way we demonstrate being in God's family. This is where we best resemble our Patriarch. This is where we get the "Jr." title.
Our love of the brotherhood is attached and sourced in the knowledge that God loved me first.
He is the "Sr.". We are "Lover's-of-People, Jr." Let's resemble this family characteristic.

We are like the child on the playground who calls out to another, "My Dad is BIGGER THANYOUR DAD." And it is indeed true. Spiritually, we are in the family of the MEGA-DAD.

He's great in SIZE, in VOLUME, in SIGNIFICANCE, in STRENGTH, etc. etc.

The question that I was left with was: Is my RESPONSE to the MEGA-Dad, also a mega response? Am I like a Mega-child, who is struck with MEGA-Wonder; who calls out in MEGA-Worship; who thanks with MEGA-Appreciation; and utilizes the MEGA-access that I have from being in the family of the Mega-Dad? It is right to "think the world of our Father" because it is true: My Dad is bigger than your dad.

Our capacity for self-deception is infinite. God's capacity for deception is ZERO. He knows everything and accurately sees both the outside and the inside; the hands and the heart.

Interior love is proven by exterior action.
The love of God is manifested by love of his people.
We should find a trail of tenderness when we follow the breadcrumbs of behavior of a Christian.
We assess ourselves not just by our head but by our hands; not just by our intentions but by our possessions; and not just by our words but by our works.

If we do this right we live a pleasing life. By having a correlation of the exterior to the interior, this is a life that can PLEASE GOD.
It may please Him for you to come back tomorrow by going to Apple Podcasts or bewithme.us and subscribing for more.
