I just thought I would say the recent events, and prophecy about them in years past, is amazing. To hear prophecies and agree with them is one thing. To see it come to pass is another. Greg and others starting speaking about movement toward house churches, but now how quickly is this coming to pass? I never really thought it would happen, to be honest.how naive i wasNoah
I heard about it over over 30 years ago. This is not a recent "happening". SI has just recently started talking about it and you just started hearing about it. That does not make it new. What is happening is that the institutional churches are becoming so gross and vulgar in their representation of the Lord that it is prompting even the most "dedicated and sincere" sheep to realize that something is terribly wrong. They only need to see who is "behind the curtain" one time to realize they have been duped. Shutting the curtain will not solve the problem, their eyes have already been opened.
Brethren,There has a house church movement that happened 30 years ago but it was primarily about the meeting almost without leadership. In many ways it was a reaction to overly religious leadership that was "Lording Over" (1 Peter 5:1-4) the flock of God.I believe in the last few years the Lord has been clearly speaking to many of His saints to start to gather in meetings that represent the entire body of Christ as One and does not bring separations over names and denominations. Also the current beginning apostasy is driving many true Christians to seek true fellowship. The Lord has a plan and work to do and it is not according to men's ideas or plans. Sadly many denominations are being led by the idea's of men and trying to do the work of God with clever ideas. This will not suffice for God's end time work of His Church according to His will.

I'm 30 years old myself.I was just shocked at the realization of a major movement possibly happening where house churches become a reality, like in China/etc.Thanks
Everything is relative, isn't it. Some people think it is a major movement now. Others, look for greater numbers to quantify a "major" movement. When 45,000 left Babylon and over a million (maybe 2 million) stayed, those that stayed did not think it was a major movement, but those that left to rebuild Jerusalem may have thought differently. Those of us today, read the account and definitely know it was a major movement of God.Since the "Jesus People" movement in the late 60's and early 70's, God has been very busy. This movement touched the whole world (not just America), and thus, the house church movement is global in scope (again, not just America). God is preparing us for something, isn't He? (many things, in fact).
