The Church Pattern

By John Lowe

I would like to start by saying that the church’s vision for all mankind is given to the men and women of God to feed the flock, not just the spirit of man but the whole man, who has the purpose in their hearts to trust the Lord. I have been saved for thirty-one years, and I have witnessed that the church has lost the vision that Jesus Christ purchased with his own blood. When I was filled with the Holy Spirit, the church didn't have much, but the love of God operated so powerfully within each one. But now that the church is blessed, real love has faded. This book is designed to help the members of the church work together to regain the church’s vision. There is a dream given.

I don’t know whether you have experience the burden that comes when you say God said, and how the enemy attack your thoughts to fill your mind with doubt to keep you from obeying God. Gloria I want to thank you for those powerful words, If God told you to write a book, write the book.

I appreciate your support during the writing of the book. You have always been an encourager. Thank you for being the precious spirit filled wife that you are. May the blessings of the Lord and all of the goodness of life be forever yours. Thank you for being all that you are in my life.

Foreword

He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love 1 John 4:8. In order to love fully, without restraints, one must first develop an Agape relationship. This is a one-on-one relationship with GOD. After this is fully understood, we can operate in philias love – this is love for mankind or neighbors. Love is action, it is unselfish, it will cause us to be concerned about others and their welfare.
