APPLY YOURSELF TO THE FIELD MINISTRY: May 15-21, 2023, Return Visit, Lesson 17, Assignment Prepared.

Return Visit (4 min.): Use the topic of ideas for conversation. Invite the person to a meeting (th lec. 17).

Publisher: Good afternoon Israel, I'm glad that we were finally able to meet again... how are you?

Helper: Well, Alberto, good afternoon, I found the brochure you left me last week very interesting, Enjoy Life Forever, I've read almost everything and it's very nice... Is that all what the magazine promises? Bible?

Publisher: I am going to go further Israel, you know that this brochure is inspired by the Bible, and the text that I am going to read to you now is quoted… what promises from the Bible give us hope? Do you want to read Revelation 21:3 and 4…

Helper: Sure, let's see... he says: “Then I heard a loud voice coming out of the throne and saying: “Look! God's tent is with humanity. He will reside with them and they will be his people. God himself will be with them. And he will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death will no longer exist, nor will there be any more sadness or crying or pain. The former things have disappeared.”

Publisher: Very well, let's go by part, first, verse 3... what have they taught you about God?

Helper: Well, since I was little they have told me that he is good, that he does not want to see us suffer, that he would not hurt us, etc...

Publisher: Very good, and all of that is true, and even if we don't see it, it's like the air, it's there and whenever we seek it with sincerity, love and faith... in one way or another, it will help us, giving us stamina or comfort... but now, this verse says that God's tent is with humanity… what does that mean?

Helper: Is it closer to us?

Publisher: Apart from that, we will live in a system that will not be dominated by other forces... as you could see in the Enjoy Life brochure... so, do you think, as you said, that God will allow something bad to happen to us?

Helper: Of course not...

Publisher: Do you know someone with more power, stronger than God?

Helper: Mmmm no, it's impossible, right?

Publisher: He is the only true almighty God, who also loves us, right?

Helper: Yes, we are like his children, that is what you told me in the conversation last week...

Publisher: So Israel, wouldn't they have the power and the desire to fulfill what verse 4 says?

Helper of the points Of course, it seems incredible that death does not exist, nor tears, nor crying nor pain... for a human being like us it is a utopia, an unreality...

Publisher: Well, the tears will continue to exist, but those of joy... the rest that you comment on will not... because although it is impossible for a human being to do this, no matter how much human will there is or from the politician or ruler... it does not have the power of God... Jehovah, that is, God, is the only one who can fulfill this promise and also has the desire to do so... what is left?

Helper: Do you know how you are going to fulfill this promise?

Publisher: The Bible tells us... it does not indicate a date, place or time, but it does indicate how it is going to fulfill it and what we have to do to enjoy this and many other promises that it makes to us...

Helper: For that, I guess I'll have to study the Bible...

Publisher: Studying the Bible is the only way you have to get closer to God, and if you get closer to Him, you will be getting closer to these promises, which will also be for you in this case... what can help you understand the Bible and what What does God want from us? Do you think we'll see him the next day...

Helper: Of course, what you are teaching me about the Bible is interesting…

Publisher: And I want to give you a little preview of what the people of God are and that you will be able to observe the joy and love that Jehovah advances us today, and you will see that this verse of Revelation is not as utopian as it seems the first time it is seen. read, will you accompany me to a meeting this week of Jehovah's Witnesses? I'll come to pick you up, this is the schedule...
