The gospel of Jesus Christ is about bringing us into unity with God, so that we can live in the presence of an almighty God, Who rules this mighty universe, so that we can be sons of God. Jesus Christ brings us into unity with God the Father if we accept Him as Lord and we bow down before Him, if we obey Him, because then He gives in us His Holy Spirit to be with us every moment to guide us, to teach us, to unite us with God. It is GOD WITH US, Emmanuel, God has come and lived inside of us by His Holy Spirit.
Church cannot bring you into that relationship with Jesus, church cannot bring you into the presence of God. It is only the Holy Spirit of God that can bring you into that unity. Jesus sent His disciples to go out and make disciples who themselves would receive the Holy Spirit, Who would unite them with Himself, with Christ, and with God the Father so that everything can be in unity under the power of God. Your church cannot do that for you. Churches are organizations of men. There might be individuals in those churches who have reached out to Jesus. There might be individuals in those churches that have received the Holy Spirit but they are not following the guidance of the Holy Spirit or else, they would themselves be outside of those organizations and they will be making disciples of Jesus Christ. Churches are full of dead man's bones, spiritually dead people who are not in relationship with God and with Jesus Christ. You cannot change churches, you cannot blow life into them. Churches are not about the Kingdom of God, they are about themselves. They are run by men they are not run by the Holy Spirit.
If you want to please Jesus, if you want to have eternal life and live in the presence of God you have got to come out of there. Come out and follow Jesus Christ. Let the dead bury their own dead, come out from amongst them. Follow Jesus Christ. Listen to the voice of the Holy Spirit and seek every day to please Him. He will guide you into all truth, He will teach you all things, but as long as you stay stuck in those organizations, you cannot be seeking a relationship with the living God. Come out from amongst them, come alive! Follow Jesus Christ through His Spirit and He will guide you every step of the way.
May Jesus bless you.
