Hi Theokrat, Thanks for your comment. What I have learned about Home Church is mostly on the internet,I found some guideluines from people who are already having church in their homes. The reason I felt the need to start a Home church is because the Lord put it on my heart many years ago and after hearing HTHGV I decided I would like to attend a church that was comfortable allowing God out of the box that religion. What I mean is not putting God on restriction in their services, having not found one I decided to step out of the boat as it were and follow God's leading. It has been a very humbling experience and I want to make sure I am hearing God's voice and obeying. At one point I asked God where the people were going to come from and He assured me HE would bring them to Home Church and He has been faithful. We are seeing people that have given up on church and on God come to the meetings. We feel called to the unchurched. One word of warning about some of the sites on the web: some seem very angry with organized religion and speak very openly about their feelings. In our Home Church I reiterate over and over that I am not against any church or even organized religion but offer a safe place where people can come and share in learning and experiencing the fullness of Almighty God who after all is the star of the show. I rewrote the HTHGV program to make it more palatable to the Christians who would consider it New Age because of some of the terms used as 'spontenaeity' and the Lord has also impressed strongly on my heart not to use Christianese when speaking because some of the people don't understand some of the terms but are ashamed to ask and I feel this message is too important to let slip by for lack of understanding. I hope this will be helpful to your ministry. God Bless you.

I really wasn't referring to the rules. I was talking from my own journaling experience and what I have learned from CLU courses over the years. Regarding whether you eyes were fixed on Jesus, I was referring to the discussion on Pages 89-91 of How to Hear God's Voice. Virkler emphesizes this over and over and the Lord has talked to me about this as well.. So the question in this case is, since your wife was the one hearing, were her eyes fixed on Jesus. You might just ask the question, "Lord, how should we as a home church administer Communion?" When you both are journaling God's voice you will be able to get many more confirmations.
