Saints, This is a sobering short article in the introduction of the soon to come Principles book that we are releasing for free distribution. Brother Edgar Reich shares this challenging message to those who would have ears to hear. The solution is simply change for the Church in the West so that we will start to bear the fruit of the Lord and be useful for His work.
Gospel Fellowships is part of that burden and we pray one small answer to the change that is needed in seeing smaller house churches that are not comprising with the truth, loving each other and their neighbours and not being in division as the body of Christ.
Here is the excerpt:
In 2 Timothy it says: “Yes, and all who desire to live godly in Christ Jesus will suffer persecution.”17 Only 3-5% of Christians witness in North America. There is no need to persecute us. The Father is in anguish. He is in tears.
The bride for His Son in the Western World is married to the world. The Bride has gone to prostitute herself with her lovers of wealth. She has gone to be with her lover of humanism. She has gone to be with her lover of secularism. She has gone to be with her lover of idols. She has forgotten her Bride groom. Her bridal gown is dirty. She has no oil in her lamp. Her spiritual power and passion are drained. What will she do when her bridegroom comes? He will spit her out of His mouth.18
There are those who yearn to be revived, to get ready for the bride groom the Lord Jesus Christ. According to the Lord, even they have been deceived in this Western World. Outsiders from other countries say we miss being obedient to Jesus in the New Testament by over 90%. There is no need to persecute us. The salt has lost its Savour. The light is barely flickering. May God use this Book for us to return to Him for He is willing to pardon us. May our churches and denominations turn around. May this book prepare you and me for global persecution. May we return to Christ likeness, responding in obedience and love to God's Word, and to receive power from the Holy Spirit, to become bold witnesses for Him.

May we not be discouraged but by the grace of God start to be the answer to this problem as we obey the Lord in repentance and obedience.

“Christianity was birthed in the Baptism of the Holy Spirit and will only continue as we have this empowering from above. God is always looking for the willing vessels that will trust Him afresh for the impossible.” from: Principles for the gathering of Believers under the Headship of Jesus Christ.Since 2012, a growing group of believers in North America started to warn of coming persecution to western countries. This message was shared in a variety of ways. One of the responses to this was to compile a book taking principles from underground Churches around the world of how they thrived under pressure and persecution. The volume, Principles for the Gathering of Believers, had in a short time over 50,000 downloads in ebook format and much interest was shown. Some new house churches started through this and other existing groups were encouraged.
