To start: dont abandon ship.

I was watching some worship before i head to fellowship (church). And, of course, in the video i see EMPTY SEATS. The believers have been routed. It is one thing if the Pastor, in obedience to a decision arrived at through prayer) deems it necessary to not meet. It is absolutely entirely ANOTHER when one submits to the dictates of man's governance.

We have to be willing to pay the price. What if everyone really STOOD UP and pressed against these measures which really are in place to entrain US into docile submission to tyranny? This is all just getting US used to this.

Consider the young ones, with the insanity of masks. At a very young tender age it is being drilled into them to COMPLY. They will think this is natural order of things. To bow one's head to obviously unConstitutional (and unGodly) measures.

This is all meant to break our spirit. I would lay a wager (but i will refrain from gambling, even with a sure bet) that there has been a higher cost to life, sanity, livelihood, ad infinitum,, then the damned (yeah i said it) 0.2 percent fatality with Covid.

Fear kills. Isolation kills. Draconian measures kill. Again, i would expect that the vax KILLS.

This involves so many more aspects than our physical body. The body will perish, but we do have an eternity. What decisions are we making RIGHT NOW to effect our eternity.

I have pressed back. Been out and about at most severe time of lockdown. The fellowship i now attend is led by a Pastor who has never closed the doors of the church building.

The Spirit has been speaking to me about revival of the New Testament church as described in the Book of Acts. House church, people. Where we are in PROXIMITY encouraging one another, having accountability (which our culture despises), and helping one another out. Not some freak socialist/communist BS but RESPONSIBLE folks caring for one another for when emergent needs arise, but we walk this TOGETHER in any case. Not as a haven for the idle: we will help you become self-responsible or leave you to continued irresponsible choices.

oh. I reckon i better stop here. I gotta get on the road and meet with my fam.

Take a stand, people. Dont leave the seats empty. Gather elsewhere if you must. I will be on my knees in prayer, but by all that is holy, you will find me standing against this assault on the Body of Christ. And a slap in the face and attempt to Ki11 this One Nation under God. We are the light on the hill to the world, IF we stand up for what we have been founded upon. Scripture.

Who ever would have imagined that we forfeit our God-given rights so easily? Again, for the corporate body, the Pastor makes that choice based on prayer and guidance. But NEVER the State. Stand up!!

Absolutely correct. The Nation will either stand or fall dependent upon whether this Nation corrects its course.

You are also correct on the solid point that it begins with the Church, and i mean the Body of Christ, not as much vis a vis denomination as much as the overall gestalt of the American church. We are failing miserably.

Past a certain point, it will not be individuals suffering consequence of sin, as much as finally the Nation bears the judgement to be levied. Nations come and go. We shall see.

Do i need to look at what my neighbor is doing? It really does start with me, then my fellowship, then on from there. As in the destruction of the family unit, it starts one by one by one.

All the more He has been pressing on me about very localized fellowship, i.e. house church. Restart. Revive. Time will tell. The topic and the possibility are new to me, in the sense of returning back to the start.

"Churches will either align with God or they will be gone." I also agree with this statement. People are starved for the real, not more of what the world tells them, but the real deal. Dont give up on folks, there are more seeking God then we might realize. Will they find Him with us?

house churches are making a come back and I feel are a very special place of fellowship and warmth. if you felt led to start one that would be a blessing to your community. im sorry i live too far to join you, otherwise i would love to.

I appreciate your response, believer. He is rockin' my world with this possibility. But i must obey. He will lead and guide us, so we will be in good hands.

(Why is His Spirit speaking to me like it is a foregone conclusion?)

Yes, i am very very excited for the Body of Christ as we RETURN to New Testament fellowship. No issues with those who choose buildings, but He keeps telling me it is to be mobile and nameless. This minimizes pride of place and status and stuff.

More freely to worship Him and focus on Him and to live as NT people. Community and accountability towards maturation. Caring for one another to build up and edify and equip. To love our brothers and sisters and to love those still looking for a "home".

Without Christ one is truly homeless.

Yeah. Praise God!!! Bless you and your fam and Godspeed! I pray that you see a work of His Love and Power in your life even in the next couple of days. To make you wanna jump and shout and PRAISE GOD.
