"God's judgment is weighing on our countries." That's true, at least. When Israel turned away from God, God withdrew His protection and blessing. We should not expect better. As they went into slavery and exile, so we are falling into slavery and having our countries taken away from us. We need to call for repentance and for people to turn back to God. We need to pray for the Holy spirit is give us another revival and to convince the people again of sin, or judgements to come and of righteousness only through Jesus. Never before have we needed the call to 2 Chronicles 7:14 so much: "14 if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land." We have had Marxist deceivers systematically take over education and journalism and the media in general.

Oh my gosh,this new Islamaphobia law is dreadful, far worse than I could have imagined. I am a Christian and very concerned for this country. I fear that the Lord has handed it over because of the rejection of most of the people. I am in a church in Lincolnshire and we have only 10 to 12 people on a good day. Another one has 8 usually. It's shocking to see the disinterest in following Christ. Unfortunately my husband has been captured by this liberalism of Christianity. But I am praying for true Christians to stand up and be bold.

They were afraid of man and of offending others merely to get bottoms on seats and not make waves! Thank God for your boldness and truth in this such dry land. Hopefully, see you Sunday God willing.

Yes to this! We have a house church in my village which God Himself orchestrated. Bringing each of us together from different local churches to go to war in prayer once a week, it’s a heavy, encounter filled night. We even take it to the streets some weeks. But we definitely need more people on the ground. The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few - Luke 10:2. How, then, can they call on the one they have not believed in? And how can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone preaching to them? - Romans 10:14 Let’s rise up!

Hi Chris, we have been doing house church for over 20years for all of your above reasons. Much fruit came from it. In the form of prophetic songs that are becoming more relevant as the time goes on. We were a very close group of people, especially the ladies. But right now we need a new group as several have gone on to be with the Lord. In the meantime occasionally we hope to continue to visit your church. The things you say I have been saying for more than 20 years it’s so refreshing to have a man of God speak truth the way you do. May the Lord strengthen you and keep you all. Servant of the Lord Ruth
Thanks Chris! I am surprised to finally hear a Pastor putting out this call. I am from Victoria, Australia. A state infamous for wokeness, corruption and political correctness. We started a house church over 5 years ago. The churches in Australia are apostate too. Thanks be to Jesus, there are still many very genuine people here who love and follow Him! Be blessed.
100% agree this has been on my mind for months I thankfully belong to a church that preaches the word of God but it has been on my mind d to start a prayer group specifically to pray for this country that the Lord would be merciful to us and to bring this nation to repentance for our complacency and our lack of reverence and fear of the lord
Thanks, Chris, for speaking up and sounding the alarm. On one hand, evangelism needed for new believers to be discipled in house churches. On the other hand, have to pray for brethren in established churches who share same burden and can be link persons to sound the clarion call, "Come out, My people! The time is short!" Raising a team of workers who can go into different churches to look for such brethren. Interceding for the Haggai generation to build the true House of God! It begins small and despised but according to God's empowerment and guidance, it will prosper. Amen.
It’s never too late in God’s Kingdom HE has brought us us all to this MOMENT to rally as his REMNANT to set up our CAMPFIRES of Praise and Worship I am presently in a wilderness area surrounded by WOKE believers and I and my wife Decree and Declare against the darkness frequently when prompted by Holy Spirit We wait upon JESUS who I know will send people of the SPIRIT to join us in these MOMENTOUS DAYS Each day I have small revelations of the GLORY to come Thank you for being obedient and sharing this WORD from Our Father and Saviour ❤ It resonates in at least one heart
God this in my heart too about the revival of "House Churches" not only in U. K but in all nations where the Christian Institution especially the churches, various denomination, leadership have made the churches a"den of robbers". Rise up house churches. Praying for the house churches to rise up in all nations.
I live in the UK and I stopped going to church years ago due to the messyness but still have a close relationship with God and have been looking forward to House churches where I can fellowship with same minded (true bible believing) Christians.
Thank you Chris, you paint a very real and truthful picture of the state of our country. If I knew anyone interested, I would happily set up a home church. I speak what needs to be said about faith and God and hope to set up a prayer group. It is absolutely needed NOW
Everything you say is spot on. I, along with some other Christians, have planted a house church this year called Morda House Church because, like you, we understand what is happening to the church and the nation.
Good idea . I stopped going to the catholic church a long time ago because i spent too much time defending the churches crimes and not enough time talking about god . I now pray at home i have my k j bible and i watch a lot of programmes such as this and bible teachings on line . Time to take responsibility for your own soul . Amen ❤🙏
The Catholic Church (in England and Wales) has recently adopted the Authorised Version in place of the Jerusalem Bible in the Liturgy, so you might feel more at home now! Of course, the Authorised Version has been used since 1966 for teaching and study purposes and for all official purposes. So, you are not, in any way, “rebelling” against the Church by using the Authorised Version (although the Catholic Church, like the Church of England, has adopted revisions over the years - the 1946/52 RSV, then the 1971/72 RSV and now the ESV - but all still the Authorised Version, of course.
The true body and blood of Christ is in the church, so sorry that you don't realise this. Jesus is so sad over those who have left the catholic church. The Eucharist is really and truly the body and blood of Christ but Jesus was faced with those who walked away from Him when He said that 2000 years ago, He said to Peter and the apostles, ' will you also leave?'. Peter replied, where would we go? You have the message of eternal life 🙏
I was born again over 60yrs ago and eventually gave up attending churches as Pastors I came across were not discerning men, and although I shared what the Holy Spirit revealed to me as a warning to the church, I was ignored so satanic emissaries arrived to do their evil work. The Pastors had no idea. It's never too late for the true children of God. We are dotted about here and there but it is so difficult when so many folk think they are born again but are not. I have spent years helping such people who were told to just pray the sinners prayer and they would be saved but some are not. No one comes to the Father except the Spirit draws Him ".
Bless your heart, son. Spot on Chris & tis happening all over Cornwall as I type!!😃 Glory to God. Now is the time. Are we indeed ready to pick up a sword & a trowel? 🙏🏻❤️🇬🇧🇮🇱🇬🇧❤️🙏🏻
Bible believing Churches that have Bible study groups , strong elders and deacons are set up for house churches . Our roots are to grow deep down in Christ . Prayer Groups are vital. May I say the time is always Now! Rotting from within and outlawed without. Thank you for speaking truthfully and exhorting Believers. God bless you.
Yes, they can still be found. I would begin with these small evangelical churches first, have their backing. There's many a start up cell group has broken up w/o outside support
God bless you Pastor. God bless Great Britain. This is a message for all Christians here in South Africa too. We need to stand up and fight for our faith and for Jesus our Lord and Savior AMEN
Thank you Chris. I've long felt that Christians need to think about (for want of better phraseology) being part of small, supportive Christian friendship communities that, organisationally, operate below the government's radar (but as individuals continue to be salt and light in this world, and serve other believers). My question to Christians is this: If your church building is forced to close, what is your backup plan to ensure continued fellowship with other believers? Some folk reading this may think -- oh well, not to worry, we'll cross that bridge when we come to it. I beg to differ. As the saying goes: the best time to fix a leaky roof is when the sun is shining. God bless you all.
Sadly, much of the established church is now impotent and unfit for purpose. We now need to go back to how it was in the beginning - meeting in homes, encouraging one another and praying in all holiness and reverence as we watch and wait for His glorious return!
the established church has never been fit for purpose.....read church history....but God always keeps his church, his sheep, fed looked after and seeking other sheep for the fold
I'm in a Christian group of English believers on FB, and people are constantly asking if there is a church or home group near them. People are desperate for fellowship with other believers.
Thank you so much and you are so right ....as we are moving into very dark times in the UK and yes us christians must now raise and be counted. I am in for the upcoming battle ahead and will be part in whatever is required to help keep the true church going and growing . We have Christ our Lord and Saviour on our side and yes the time has come to be bold and brave as the world around us is becoming bold and brave 🙏🙏🙏⛺️🌟⭐️🌞🌝
I know that this is counterintuitive but that is our God's way! House churches got us where we are and it would be house churches that gives the Holy Spirit , once again, the chance to lead and guide the body of the Lord to glory. We don't like it when something touches our comfort but history shows, that that is exactly what the Holy Spirit needs! This will untie His hands from our human grip and show us the power of His Might! Hallelujah! I pray that the Lord will strengthen your hands to do His work according to His will.
Totally agree! I have just left Durham Cathedral because they have a large pink banner supporting Pride and walk through the city with the parade. Plus I have left for many other woke reasons. God Bless you 🙏🏻
Brilliant! Thank you! We have just started a home church a couple of months ago! All glory to God, he is calling forward His soldiers to the front lines in these dark times! Hallelujah, we can overcome the darkness of this evil age through Christ! Praise God!
Great talk, very true. When Daniel was exciled into Babylon, he kept faith in God and was kept safe by his powers. We need to use our conscience and act, speak the truth do not embrace the satanic campaigns of destruction. God be with you, Jesus is Lord.
This is So True and needed for this hour! Thank you for this video. There is not only a clear call to the believer but strategy to go along side it. Greatly appreciated and this issue has been on my heart for a long while now. House church - HERE WE COME !!!
We need to get back to the first century pattern of fellowship. When we unite and maintain 'one mind and heart' we will be equipped to face opposition and persecution, which is certainly building against us. A large number of true believers have left fellowships having been active faithful members for many years. They are now like spiritual refugees looking for few churches in their local area. We need the house movement to re-establish the future church.
Thank you! I've been struggling very much to find a church near me that I could get involved with, so I pray and worship at home, I watch a lot of youtube videos. I think house churches are such a good idea. When I was growing up we had neighbours who'd come over from Jamaica and they used to get together in the ladies house over the road and preach and sing.
My Dad had a friend who was a holocaust survivor. She eas Jewish, but after a miraculous escape from Germany and the kindness of many neighbours when she arrived with her mother and siblings as penniless refugee, the family became Catholic. She always said that many people don't have the confidence to stand up and speak in front of others. She was convinced that this lack of boldness was a big issue, because if people couldn't ordinarily find the courage to speak in front of others, then how would they do it in an oppressive atmosphere. She spent much of the rest of her life teaching public speaking. So training and discipleship will be ital, whatever model of church people are using.
If people are nurtured in small groups then they 'grow' up into confidence ...like a family nurturing their young and seeing them go out into the world with peers then venture out for them selves...same principle..it's also v healthy to recognise the BODY of Christ as we can go off ourselves believing we are right and using scriptures out of time..the Prophetic should submit to the Pastor who knows the timing for his flock but also be mindful of God's timing...when these two offices are in harmony we have God's Will
OMG! The Conquering Lion of the Tribe of Judah wins. GOD wins in the UK. I'm so blessed to know in this country, there are those who aren't afraid to speak up. Glory be to GOD. This word energises and infuses me with zeal to pray yet more for the UK. 🇬🇧 GOD be with and protect you beloved brother in the LORD. Amen ❤️
I am all for House Churches. I used to attend a church which was moving in the Spiritual gifts. The Pastor was so anointed that at his meetings, they called for the hire of another building. We fellowshipped on a Sunday morning, Sunday evening Wednesday and Friday. He really expounded the Word and there were miracles taking place. After some time, it was decided to also have house groups twice a week (church without walls). It worked so well, but eventually you had to telephone the host to see if there was enough room in her home. Unfortunately, the Pastor (I won't name him) came under attack (criticism)from other churches. To cut things short, he was offered another position in another country and he accepted. This young man was and is doing very well where he is but we all missed him. He was all for church without walls, as it was called. I think that there are some house groups run by others and yes, I agree, in the light of what is going on in the world, we do need to have church in houses.
Inspiring...Thank you Chris.. The institutions have indeed been invaded and even decent people often overwhelmed.. You are right to emphasise the vital importance of personal responsibility for evangelisation, building informal networks and fostering genuine fellowship. Bless you, Karen
Hoorah. Praise God for His confirmation and encouragement for two older sisters in Christ who have done just this, for all the reasons you have stated. In theses dark times, we must, 'Stand up, stand up for Jesus,' who gave His all for us, and be soldiers of The Faith. God bless you🙏 ❤
Agreed- just listened to Calvin Robertson and another Father who came over from Australia, only to be punished and pressured by the C of E to compromise , he stood his ground and was dismissed - I will find his name and put in comments
Our local Congregational church has been and continues to hold weekly Fireside fellowship meetings at any Christian member who is willing to host a Thursday night meeting. We host the 3rd week every month
Refreshing words. No more soft play. No more ear tickling . Deliverance and targetted spiritual warfare prayers needed.A spirtual army. Raise up that standard,in Jesus name,for The Father's glory.🙏♥️
I thank God for you dear Pastor, at least you are standing for purity and for holiness. In the Lord. God bless you and your family and your ministry ❤.
very true chris----- i see the uk church asleep - i have been on london lbc radio where to their credit they asked christians to testify to why they were christians. We have a voice but we must trust God - yes labour is scary
Just to let you know what i am doing as a connect group leader at HTB london - we found favour with a popular bistro restaurant who said we could meet and have bible study in the restautant every 2 weeks. The nominal muslim head waitress is so impressed with the community of christians (9) that she encourages restaurant guests to attend "the christian meeting" that happens midweek - a muslim is our best evangelist. We need to be a prescence so that people see christ in situ. We have been asked to pray for the cook the waitresses and other guests. Such joy. The seekers keep coming. where is the coffee or bistro where you could place yourself ? it makes evangelism so easy as "by this shall all men know you are my disciples that you have love for one another

Then Jesus will tell you, I know you not : why call me Lord and do not what I command you to do Matthew 7:21-23
and Matt.5:18-20
A Christian has to live and do the same thing as he did.
He was a Jew and kept Gods Holy Feasts as commanded for ever Leveticus 23.
Pray and keep Gods Commandments, then you will be saved.
Thank you 🇬🇧🤍🏴 We must stand strong! And put on the whole Armour of God! 🇬🇧🤍🏴
I will open my home, Let’s do this! 🙏🏻

Love the idea of House churches we need to be true to our belief systems
Oh my gosh,this new Islamaphobia law is dreadful, far worse than I could have imagined.
I am a Christian and very concerned for this country. I fear that the Lord has handed it over because of the rejection of most of the people.
I am in a church in Lincolnshire and we have only 10 to 12 people on a good day.
Another one has 8 usually. It's shocking to see the disinterest in following Christ.
Unfortunately my husband has been captured by this liberalism of Christianity. But I am praying for true Christians to stand up and be bold.
I thank the Lord for you pastor Chris.
May the Lord God Of Israel And This Blessed Nation hold you fast and shelter you under His Wing And Yet, giving you His strength to boldly speak The Truth , Each And Every Day.
God bless you Norma.
I feel sick every day about it all 🙏🏻

A M E N !!!!! Yes! Hi Chris. We have had our own little house church/bible study group for over two years now because we don't 'fit in' with other so called churches. They never wanted the truth.
They were afraid of man and of offending others merely to get bottoms on seats and not make waves!
Thank God for your boldness and truth in this such dry land.
Hopefully, see you Sunday God willing.
Praise the Lord.
@thebishopelect You love people by telling them the truth...
@@starlite2525You are right. The truth is a rare commodity nowadays, but we (me including) must still have love. Very challenging because so much around offend me). Thank God for repentance when we fall.
This is exactly what is happening at our church….massive amount of fear of man, rather than pleasing God. It’s heartbreaking and not sure I can take it anymore 💔 😢
Be blessed and bear good fruit

that's amazing whereabouts are you?
Well said brother
Onward Christian Soldiers
Chris Wickland is absolutely correct in these things. He is thankfully speaking vital truth. His exhortations should be heeded.
Yes to this! We have a house church in my village which God Himself orchestrated. Bringing each of us together from different local churches to go to war in prayer once a week, it’s a heavy, encounter filled night. We even take it to the streets some weeks. But we definitely need more people on the ground.
The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few - Luke 10:2.
How, then, can they call on the one they have not believed in? And how can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone preaching to them?
- Romans 10:14
Let’s rise up!

No Eucharist then

Myself and my husband did as you did...but he went home to Jesus in March and true churches in Norwich, Norfolk are few if not zero.
It would be helpful if we had a network of house churches that are in touch and connected
Not relevant @thebishopelect
Wow...didnt know there are british christians who still speak the truth like this. God bless you brother. Some of us from Africa come to uk and are shocked at what we find. May God revive the church in this land and wake sleeping Christians up.

Hi Chris, we have been doing house church for over 20years for all of your above reasons. Much fruit came from it. In the form of prophetic songs that are becoming more relevant as the time goes on. We were a very close group of people, especially the ladies. But right now we need a new group as several have gone on to be with the Lord. In the meantime occasionally we hope to continue to visit your church. The things you say I have been saying for more than 20 years it’s so refreshing to have a man of God speak truth the way you do.
May the Lord strengthen you and keep you all.
Servant of the Lord

So agree. 🙏🏼 from New Zealand 🇳🇿
Thanks Chris! I am surprised to finally hear a Pastor putting out this call. I am from Victoria, Australia. A state infamous for wokeness, corruption and political correctness. We started a house church over 5 years ago. The churches in Australia are apostate too. Thanks be to Jesus, there are still many very genuine people here who love and follow Him! Be blessed.
100% agree this has been on my mind for months I thankfully belong to a church that preaches the word of God but it has been on my mind d to start a prayer group specifically to pray for this country that the Lord would be merciful to us and to bring this nation to repentance for our complacency and our lack of reverence and fear of the lord
Thanks, Chris, for speaking up and sounding the alarm. On one hand, evangelism needed for new believers to be discipled in house churches. On the other hand, have to pray for brethren in established churches who share same burden and can be link persons to sound the clarion call, "Come out, My people! The time is short!" Raising a team of workers who can go into different churches to look for such brethren. Interceding for the Haggai generation to build the true House of God! It begins small and despised but according to God's empowerment and guidance, it will prosper. Amen.
It’s never too late in God’s Kingdom
HE has brought us us all to this MOMENT to rally as his REMNANT to set up our CAMPFIRES of Praise and Worship
I am presently in a wilderness area surrounded by WOKE believers and I and my wife Decree and Declare against the darkness frequently when prompted by Holy Spirit
We wait upon JESUS who I know will send people of the SPIRIT to join us in these MOMENTOUS DAYS
Each day I have small revelations of the GLORY to come
Thank you for being obedient and sharing this WORD from Our Father and Saviour ❤
It resonates in at least one heart
Amen.
May God have mercy on the churches in the uk, that Gods ppl will rise up and pray
God this in my heart too about the revival of "House Churches" not only in U. K but in all nations where the Christian Institution especially the churches, various denomination, leadership have made the churches a"den of robbers". Rise up house churches. Praying for the house churches to rise up in all nations.
Amen. This is a sound solution to the betrayal by so many churches in the world, today.
I live in the UK and I stopped going to church years ago due to the messyness but still have a close relationship with God and have been looking forward to House churches where I can fellowship with same minded (true bible believing) Christians.
Thank you Chris, you paint a very real and truthful picture of the state of our country. If I knew anyone interested, I would happily set up a home church. I speak what needs to be said about faith and God and hope to set up a prayer group. It is absolutely needed NOW
@carolhamnett2491 where are you exactly? I so want to join a house church. I live in Devizes Wiltshire...
Everything you say is spot on. I, along with some other Christians, have planted a house church this year called Morda House Church because, like you, we understand what is happening to the church and the nation.
Good idea . I stopped going to the catholic church a long time ago because i spent too much time defending the churches crimes and not enough time talking about god . I now pray at home i have my k j bible and i watch a lot of programmes such as this and bible teachings on line . Time to take responsibility for your own soul . Amen ❤🙏
Have you considered fssp? It’s a more traditional version of Catholic Church. They do the Latin Mass, not Novus Ordo.
Come back to Church. The Ark might smell in places but without it we will drown.
The Catholic Church (in England and Wales) has recently adopted the Authorised Version in place of the Jerusalem Bible in the Liturgy, so you might feel more at home now! Of course, the Authorised Version has been used since 1966 for teaching and study purposes and for all official purposes. So, you are not, in any way, “rebelling” against the Church by using the Authorised Version (although the Catholic Church, like the Church of England, has adopted revisions over the years - the 1946/52 RSV, then the 1971/72 RSV and now the ESV - but all still the Authorised Version, of course.
You must go to Church - Jesus is there in the Eucharist.. and His most Sacred Heart is waiting for you to visit 🙏🏻
The true body and blood of Christ is in the church, so sorry that you don't realise this. Jesus is so sad over those who have left the catholic church. The Eucharist is really and truly the body and blood of Christ but Jesus was faced with those who walked away from Him when He said that 2000 years ago, He said to Peter and the apostles, ' will you also leave?'. Peter replied, where would we go? You have the message of eternal life 🙏
I agree. The WORD OF GOD has been misinterpreted and censored to adapt to the British politeness. Am with you brother. Am willing to house church.
Absolutely spot on!!
Id attend a house church absolutely. I think its the way to go for Christians too. Its how they began. Small gathering in someones home.
Well said, Sir! I concur ...
I was born again over 60yrs ago and eventually gave up attending churches as Pastors I came across were not discerning men, and although I shared what the Holy Spirit revealed to me as a warning to the church, I was ignored so satanic emissaries arrived to do their evil work. The Pastors had no idea. It's never too late for the true children of God. We are dotted about here and there but it is so difficult when so many folk think they are born again but are not. I have spent years helping such people who were told to just pray the sinners prayer and they would be saved but some are not. No one comes to the Father except the Spirit draws Him ".
Bless your heart, son. Spot on Chris & tis happening all over Cornwall as I type!!😃
Glory to God.
Now is the time.

Well said Dave ,
I think you are absolutely right, I can’t believe the state our country is in , so very sad , I see the way things are going 😢 ❤🙏🏻
Bible believing Churches that have Bible study groups , strong elders and deacons are set up for house churches .
Our roots are to grow deep down in Christ .
Prayer Groups are vital.
May I say the time is always Now!
Rotting from within and outlawed without.
Thank you for speaking truthfully and exhorting

Yes, they can still be found. I would begin with these small evangelical churches first, have their backing. There's many a start up cell group has broken up w/o outside support

Well said that man 👏🏻 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Hello Chris Wickland, I ask God to bless you and your family, in Jesus Loving and Mighty name, amen.
Thank you Chris. I've long felt that Christians need to think about (for want of better phraseology) being part of small, supportive Christian friendship communities that, organisationally, operate below the government's radar (but as individuals continue to be salt and light in this world, and serve other believers). My question to Christians is this: If your church building is forced to close, what is your backup plan to ensure continued fellowship with other believers? Some folk reading this may think -- oh well, not to worry, we'll cross that bridge when we come to it. I beg to differ. As the saying goes: the best time to fix a leaky roof is when the sun is shining. God bless you all.
Sadly, much of the established church is now impotent and unfit for purpose. We now need to go back to how it was in the beginning - meeting in homes, encouraging one another and praying in all holiness and reverence as we watch and wait for His glorious return!
the established church has never been fit for purpose.....read church history....but God always keeps his church, his sheep, fed looked after and seeking other sheep for the fold
I'm in a Christian group of English believers on FB, and people are constantly asking if there is a church or home group near them. People are desperate for fellowship with other believers.
Please check out Simple Church at home. House church ministry I am part of for 6 years.
Thank you so much and you are so right ....as we are moving into very dark times in the UK and yes us christians must now raise and be counted. I am in for the upcoming battle ahead and will be part in whatever is required to help keep the true church going and growing . We have Christ our Lord and Saviour on our side and yes the time has come to be bold and brave as the world around us is becoming bold and brave 🙏🙏🙏⛺️🌟⭐️🌞🌝
I know that this is counterintuitive but that is our God's way!
House churches got us where we are and it would be house churches that gives the Holy Spirit , once again, the chance to lead and guide the body of the Lord to glory.
We don't like it when something touches our comfort but history shows, that that is exactly what the Holy Spirit needs!
This will untie His hands from our human grip and show us the power of His Might! Hallelujah!
I pray that the Lord will strengthen your hands to do His work according to His will.
Totally agree! I have just left Durham Cathedral because they have a large pink banner supporting Pride and walk through the city with the parade. Plus I have left for many other woke reasons.
God Bless you 🙏🏻
Oh my goodness. This is terrible. Shame on them. We must pray
Brilliant! Thank you! We have just started a home church a couple of months ago! All glory to God, he is calling forward His soldiers to the front lines in these dark times! Hallelujah, we can overcome the darkness of this evil age through Christ! Praise God!

@@NaomiBurgess No unfortunately. I am in London
Great talk, very true. When Daniel was exciled into Babylon, he kept faith in God and was kept safe by his powers. We need to use our conscience and act, speak the truth do not embrace the satanic campaigns of destruction. God be with you, Jesus is Lord.
This is So True and needed for this hour! Thank you for this video. There is not only a clear call to the believer but strategy to go along side it. Greatly appreciated and this issue has been on my heart for a long while now. House church - HERE WE COME !!!
We need to get back to the first century pattern of fellowship. When we unite and maintain 'one mind and heart' we will be equipped to face opposition and persecution, which is certainly building against us. A large number of true believers have left fellowships having been active faithful members for many years. They are now like spiritual refugees looking for few churches in their local area. We need the house movement to re-establish the future church.
You are 100% right.
Thank you so much. I'm 100% with you.
Thank you! I've been struggling very much to find a church near me that I could get involved with, so I pray and worship at home, I watch a lot of youtube videos. I think house churches are such a good idea. When I was growing up we had neighbours who'd come over from Jamaica and they used to get together in the ladies house over the road and preach and sing.
Been in one for 40 plus years. Awesome.
My Dad had a friend who was a holocaust survivor. She eas Jewish, but after a miraculous escape from Germany and the kindness of many neighbours when she arrived with her mother and siblings as penniless refugee, the family became Catholic. She always said that many people don't have the confidence to stand up and speak in front of others. She was convinced that this lack of boldness was a big issue, because if people couldn't ordinarily find the courage to speak in front of others, then how would they do it in an oppressive atmosphere. She spent much of the rest of her life teaching public speaking.
So training and discipleship will be ital, whatever model of church people are using.
If people are nurtured in small groups then they 'grow' up into confidence ...like a family nurturing their young and seeing them go out into the world with peers then venture out for them selves...same principle..it's also v healthy to recognise the BODY of Christ as we can go off ourselves believing we are right and using scriptures out of time..the Prophetic should submit to the Pastor who knows the timing for his flock but also be mindful of God's timing...when these two offices are in harmony we have God's Will
OMG! The Conquering Lion of the Tribe of Judah wins. GOD wins in the UK. I'm so blessed to know in this country, there are those who aren't afraid to speak up. Glory be to GOD. This word energises and infuses me with zeal to pray yet more for the UK. 🇬🇧
GOD be with and protect you beloved brother in the LORD.
Amen ❤️
Amen, so so true. God bless your outspoken truth regarding the state of our once great Nation.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ Rise up Great Britain!!!
I am all for House Churches. I used to attend a church which was moving in the Spiritual gifts. The Pastor was so anointed that at his meetings, they called for the hire of another building. We fellowshipped on a Sunday morning, Sunday evening Wednesday and Friday. He really expounded the Word and there were miracles taking place. After some time, it was decided to also have house groups twice a week (church without walls). It worked so well, but eventually you had to telephone the host to see if there was enough room in her home. Unfortunately, the Pastor (I won't name him) came under attack (criticism)from other churches. To cut things short, he was offered another position in another country and he accepted. This young man was and is doing very well where he is but we all missed him. He was all for church without walls, as it was called. I think that there are some house groups run by others and yes, I agree, in the light of what is going on in the world, we do need to have church in houses.
Inspiring...Thank you Chris.. The institutions have indeed been invaded and even decent people often overwhelmed..
You are right to emphasise the vital importance of personal responsibility for evangelisation, building informal networks and fostering genuine fellowship.
Bless you,
Karen
It's a pity we can't have the old tent revivals.
There are so many poor souls that need it.
I shall show this to our small house group i think this will inspire them. Thank you Chris.
Amen,agree with every word❤️🙏!!!!!
Very well said! God bless you !
God Bless you Brother.
Hoorah. Praise God for His confirmation and encouragement for two older sisters in Christ who have done just this, for all the reasons you have stated. In theses dark times, we must, 'Stand up, stand up for Jesus,' who gave His all for us, and be soldiers of The Faith. God bless you🙏 ❤
Agreed- just listened to Calvin Robertson and another Father who came over from Australia, only to be punished and pressured by the C of E to compromise , he stood his ground and was dismissed - I will find his name and put in comments

Very refreshing to hear you speak the truth, thank you
Thank you Chris for highlighting this issue again. God bless & protect you
Happening around the world and I believe we need to go back to the days of ACTS.
The decline inChristianity is measured by the increase in disrespect, decency and lawlessness as we can see in our streets
very true chris----- i see the uk church asleep - i have been on london lbc radio where to their credit they asked christians to testify to why they were christians. We have a voice but we must trust God - yes labour is scary
Just to let you know what i am doing as a connect group leader at HTB london - we found favour with a popular bistro restaurant who said we could meet and have bible study in the restautant every 2 weeks. The nominal muslim head waitress is so impressed with the community of christians (9) that she encourages restaurant guests to attend "the christian meeting" that happens midweek - a muslim is our best evangelist. We need to be a prescence so that people see christ in situ. We have been asked to pray for the cook the waitresses and other guests. Such joy. The seekers keep coming. where is the coffee or bistro where you could place yourself ? it makes evangelism so easy as "by this shall all men know you are my disciples that you have love for one another
Repentance and revival are essential. Remember that persecution is not a sign of God's abandonment.
Can anything good come out of the " house churches" in the UK?
I say, yes, Lord, and I believe it.
What a brilliant idea.
Amen brother we need true anointed men and women to preach the truth with the power of the holy spirit in yeshua hamaschiak
I am encouraged by your encouragement for house prayer and house church. That's been on our heart yet have not had the encouragement elsewhere other than on your video this morning. Thank you and I thank God for this. May God bless you. (Hatfield UK)
