Brothers, greetings, I want to write again and share with you what I live in this time. So I am going to write another little post.

Thank you brother Nell for taking of your time to respond to this post and I liked what you mentioned that we are not here to dictate to others what the Bible does not say. First of all I have no intention of dictating to others anything, or trying to rule others, or force others to do anything or impose anything on others. Nothing of the sort, rather I stay away from any group or system that imposes human control over others and seeks to control others with whatever intention. I repeat again that my desire is to be able to practice the vision that I received first from the Bible and then from the lived experience of the house meetings. And if you think it was not appropriate to say the word "wrong" because my desire was to convey the importance of the meetings in the houses, and certainly it is not my intention to point out in a critical way that others do not have their houses open to the Lord or do not meet in the houses, but I wanted to convey how beneficial and profitable and edifying are the physical meetings in the houses, because I have lived it in the past. And I remember this word in my heart concerning it: "The church which is in his house" 1 Cor. 16:19; Rom. 16:5; Phil. 2; Col. 4:15.

I also agree with you that we should not tell others or try to convince them that it is right or wrong for them to do this or that because we all have a free will and it is only the Lord's personal authority in every believer's life. Regarding our desire to congregate with brethren according to the certain vision we have had of the Lord and His Church in some measure in His Word, regarding my personal case, I still long to be able to meet with two or three or more, out of the system of human control, and the government of man systematized with its hierarchical positions or its ecclesiastical organizational system and meet simply as brethren, all equal, all with the same level and position that the Lord gave us in His Body. While this is happening, weekly or every two weeks I am visiting congregations that I have near where I live. I go on a Sunday morning and seek to sit in the back and observe, exercise my spirit to discern and the Holy Spirit will lead me to someone or someone will approach me to see if a brotherly relationship can be started. So far nothing has happened.

I have visited about 7 Christian congregations and so far nothing has happened. But I am also somehow paying attention to my surroundings because I am aware that the Lord is moving around us and He has put people around us so that we are somehow a testimony of Him. I have had some experiences preaching the gospel, the last one was wonderful, but unfortunately the fruit did not remain. I continue with the desire to form a vital group of two or three, to vitalize ourselves, to live in brotherly love, and to bear fruit that remains. Daniel and his friends are the best example I have ever seen of a vital group for life. Until recently I had been sad, frustrated and going through an existential crisis, but today and I hope that from now on I can keep moving forward and the Lord moves His wheel in me and in those around me, little by little I am sharing more of Christ to others in a simple way and as the Spirit leads me. I am being restored more and more inwardly and now I see the picture much better because I am in an interesting place, which is within Europe, and the Lord wants to move mightily here to consummate this era and come soon. So, in spite of everything, here I am, willing to move forward and sincerely I would like to be of value and usefulness to the Lord Jesus in these times.
