When the Kingdom of God is not demonstrated then Christianity is no different to any other religion.

When the Christians stopped meeting in public places and used special buildings they became a closed society and no longer informally met people in the public places to discuss the Christian faith as the early church did.

When they stopped hearing The Holy Spirit they became like any other religion and had to use man’s way of doing things and became hierarchical as well as denominational as each espoused their belief as being correct.

When the stopped laying up treasure in heaven they laid up treasure on earth and grew wealthy and worldly

When they stopped showing God’s Love and Mercy to people they had to find a new direction and purpose for being a church and justifying their existence as well as formulating methods and processes rather than compassion and personal relationship with those they were helping or evangelising.

When they lost their personal relationship with God they lost their identity of whom they were.

When the gave authority to a person (pastor apostle etc.) they placed themselves under man and not God and thus lost direction and purpose being guided and driven by man and processes rather than God.

When they paid others who were "certified and trained" to do their social work and evangelism they lost their purpose for being a Christian.

When the became insular and self orientated. promoting their own church or denomination they lost their focus on the world and God’s heart for it.

They do not demonstrate the authority and power of Jesus over His enemy

They do not publicly stand up for the values and purposes of the Kingdom of God

They do not worship in public

They do not take ground from the kingdom of the enemy so the enemy takes ground from The Kingdom of God

They have given Satan the earth and all on it rather than fight Satan and increase the influence of the Kingdom of God on the earth.

You tolerated the sins that resulted in so many dying in Israel and Judah and eventually resulted in the people being removed from the land!

You did not teach the true cost of what I did on Calvary!

You did not teach personal holiness and sanctification and became compromised by the world!

Your worship became fleshly and self-centred, no longer being led by My Spirit, as you no longer praised me or my finished work at Calvary!

You enjoyed the chief places at the feasts and the importance of having large churches. Numbers were more important that humility or holiness!

You did not use my weapons of warfare and so were easy prey for my enemy! You did not protect my flocks adequately as a result, because you used your own weapons and defenses and not mine!

You did not fulfil my requirements for true religion…loving you neighbour as you love yourself! Helping the widow, orphan the sick and the needy!

You did not grieve in your heart over the lost and your fallen! You did not weep over Jerusalem as Jesus wept!

You were too busy building "organisations" and using the latest "approved" method to listen to My Spirit’s Leading!

You spent your money on buildings and personal "junkets" and "necessary" luxuries, rather than on the lost and needy around you. Many of you also had a lifestyle better than the people you were supposed to Love as your self!

Your were too busy playing "important pastor" to develop intimacy with me. Your activity on my "behalf" were no replacement for a vital, close, relationship with me!

You did not develop the gifts of the people under your authority! Unless they were "trained" or "officially" approved, they could not minister in "your" church! You condemned many to consider themselves inadequate for my service because of this!

You did not teach "your" people to minister to those outside the church. but only "trained" people were allowed to minister "officially" outside the church!

You did not teach my people what my love was so they could show it to those living around them, and by this, win many to Jesus!

You did not properly disciple my new followers but processed them, so many did not mature, or fell away.

You rejected my prophets calling you to repentance but listened to those who "tickled" your ears with prosperity and ease!

You did not learn how to share in my fellowship of suffering or teach others what it meant!

You did not carry out my commission in Is 61:1-3, or Math.28:18-20, or teach "your" church to do so!

You did not used my gifts ,or delegated authority, properly…you used them to build numbers…not heal and send people forth to a lost and hurting world!

Do not make God a personal God

Do not make Him relevant for daily living - only for special occasions such as Easter and Christmas

Do not make His miracles to be for today, but only for the time of Jesus

Do not believe or teach the personal guidance and power of the Holy Spirit

Do not make The Word more important than reason, tradition or denominational rules

Do not make the work of God personal - use agencies for charity and evangelism and not church members

Hell and God’s Judgment: We are not told what we are saved from so that salvation does not become imperative. Restoration and deliverance do not mean anything as there is nothing to be delivered from. We do not realize our potential as we are not delivered from the effects of the fall on the ‘flesh’.

The Victory we have over demons and temptation won by Jesus at Calvary

The rewards of the Kingdom of Heaven: so we don’t know how much better they are so that we do not realize that the pleasures of earth are not worth holding onto as they pale in comparison to what is going to be given to us in heaven.

The Love of God expressed towards us: so we don’t know how special we are to God or what He does for us each moment of the day. We are not taught the extent of God’s Love towards us!

Salvation as a personal relationship: so God becomes impersonal to us and the depth and quality of the relationship with Him is not realized. Thus we do not serve Him out of love but of necessity.

The Grace of God is not taught. How much God gives us and gently deals with us out of no benefit to Him. That it is God’s unmerited favour towards us.

Who Jesus is and what He gave up for us: so we don’t appreciate His Love for us and what He gave up to help us. Thus we do not realize any sacrifice we make pales in significance when compared to what He gave up for us!

What it means to be a citizen of God’s Kingdom: so we do not realize what it means to be a citizen of God’s kingdom and all it requires of us and as well as the rewards offered toward us!

The gifts of The Holy Spirit and the delegated authority of Jesus so that the church is sick and without power and has nothing with which to do the work of Jesus

The return of Jesus when all will be restored on earth and things will be as they should have been.

The complete work of Jesus at Calvary so that people are emotionally crippled by guilt, shame and condemnation instead of being released from these.

Does it matter how good your theology is if there is one person going to hell because of it?

Does it matter how good your church programs are if there is one person who has not heard The Gospel?

Does it matter how wealthy and prosperous your church is if there is one person who is hungry?

Does it matter how good your facilities are if there is a child sleeping in the streets?

Does it matter that the needs of the congregation are met but the wounded spirit and the broken hearted outside the church are ignored?

Does it matter how well your church is run if those outside it are not ministered to as they need it?
