The Body of Christ
“My Body is one, united in the Holy Spirit!
How can Churches say they are part of My Body, when each goes their own separate way and do not unite in any areas, to do My Work?
Where is the unity of The Spirit along with loving service of each other that characterises My Body?
How can they say they are My Church when they divide the body and do not work in the loving unity I require?
Some have become an enterprise and no longer focus on My Work, but promote their enterprise so that they become a business.
Each Church is right in its own eyes and a little Kingdom protecting their identity and preserving their denomination and by this, injuring unity with others denominations.
They do not have unity in The Spirit with other Churches and really do not do the work of The Body, which is the work of The Kingdom of God.
How can they say they are part of the body when they reject unity with others and do not do My work together, which The Body on earth is supposed to do for me?
Why is the Church in such a mess?
The nearly 2000 years Satan has guided the theology of the Church. He did many things to subvert The Body.
He hid the love relationship we have with The Father and each other as well as our citizenship in The Kingdom of God.
He taught Churches to follow the pattern of the world, so they became like a little kingdom and they became insular from other Churches. Because their theologies are differing, this causes them to break of from other Churches and become their own denomination.
If both had correct theology, they would not have broken off fellowship from other Churches.
Often the difference may only be in a procedure, such as how to baptise. But Satan uses this to divide My Body.
Satan made Christianity a religion of obedience and legalism, and not one of love. He hid the fact that Christianity was the expression of our love relationship with God, and the reformation did little to change this, focusing on theology and not relationship to God.
He hid evangelism as the role of everyone and introduced the Nicolaitan structure into Churches (which I hate) where qualified people ruled and the rest followed.
This is why ministers and qualified people do all the important stuff and the congregation pays qualified people to do what they should be doing.
The congregation normally does the non-spiritual activities like Church cleaning, gardening for the Church, flower arranging, music Ministry and similar and think they are doing wonderful things for God.
IF they were doing it for The Kingdom and not for the denomination, it would be acceptable as service to Me.
So the Churches become hierarchical like any good worldly management, where knowledge and ability are often more important than spiritual maturity.
Satan hid the role of the Church and fighting him, so that spiritual warfare, deliverance ministry and evangelisation were not done by people in congregations, but by specially trained people.
It was all made to appear difficult, requiring much study, which is completely different to how the apostles and disciples of the early Church did these things.
He confused the denomination with The Kingdom so it become a man-guided organisation and not a Holy Spirit operation.
Denominations only really appear in the Reformation, and before that, splinter groups were considered as heretics and cults.
So it is only since in the Reformation we have denominations and splinter groups who call themselves “denominations”.
The ironic part is that theology may not be different between them, but procedures may be the only difference, and their objective to keep procedures they believe are correct, is stopping the unity of The Holy Spirit.
Because the supernatural was rejected by the reformation as a reaction to the excesses of the Catholic Church, the gifts, miracles and prophecy were rejected and the Church work was not led by The Holy Spirit and did not demonstrate the Authority of the Kingdom of God.
People who spoke about excesses or errors in the Church and its theology were often attacked, made to recant their theology, or were cast out the Church as heretics and even martyred.
Satan has corrupted the Church greatly so it is nothing like it was in the beginning and denominations now attack anything, no matter how correct it is theologically, if it does not follow the theology of a denomination.
What does the Church need to do to restore itself?
It must learn to be guided by The Holy Spirit and not man’s methods or procedures.
Every Christian, regardless of denomination, is to be treated as part of God’s family and so a relative in the Spirit.
Unity of The Body and purpose must be restored.
They must learn to express the Authority of The Kingdom of God and the Love of God.
It must disciple is members teaching them how to live as a Christian and as a citizen of The Kingdom of God, as well as how to relate to The Father as an adopted child of His.
It must teach spiritual warfare which has three facets:
Evangelism, which is attacking the kingdom of the enemy and taking people from there.
Protecting God and His Kingdom and the people in it, which includes yourself.
Protecting things God desires to do now, or in the future.
It must be clear, the working or objectives of Jesus are in all that it does, so that it represents Him. and not a denomination or Church.”
Jesus.

Neville have been told to preach three things:
♥ Deliverance ♥ How to Hear The Holy Spirit ♥ How to fight Satan
This is the need of the hour as it demonstrates The Kingdom of God, which is what attracts people to Jesus.
Thanks for this article, wish everyone and all Churches could wake-up and start invoking the Holy Spirit to take His lead position in all we do and how to do our Father’s will, there would be no need of denominations and differences, don’t see any Biblical evidence of taught priest/pastors except everyone and everything was led by the Holy Spirit or ordained by the most High, I pray God and Holy Spirit guides us back to His will and former glory and Grace of doing things His way in meekness and humility
It’s all Christians job to evangelise –
but the body of Christ still needs evangelists. Not paid qualified ones, not tele-evangelists. But gifted individuals to lead the churches missions and train others in that task.
