When Satan exchanged the word Ecclesia for church ;”I will build my Ecclesia and the gates of hell will not prevail against it!!”The Ecclesia of Christ( the kingdom of God) cannot be overcome by the power and strength of Hell!!
BUT- When Ecclesia was changed with the word church- now the following started to immediately manifest on earth
The word Church brought into humanity the following :
1. A complete loss of a kingdom mindset
2. A destruction of oneness in the kingdom family
3. A divisiveness within the Body of Christ
4. A “my” church VS. “Your”church kind of thinking
5. Confusion came into the camp of God
6. A house divided became the norm ( within a radius of 5 miles in America - you can have 300 churches !! The King said that a house divided cannot stand!!
7. Suspicion replaced love within the family of God
8. Striving and criticism is now the norm for all Christian churches and now if you are not a part of our church- then we cannot have fellowship with you. It’s no longer light vs. darkness. It’s now church vs. church
9. Doctrines of men now rule over the love of the brethren
10. The kingdom cannot manifest in power because it is completely divided! So it cannot even stand ( And Jesus knew their thoughts, and said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and every city or house divided against itself shall not stand) Matt 12:25
11. The Ecclesia has lost its power to rule
12. The Government of Heaven can no longer operate ! It will never support our fleshly ways and divisions
13. We have lost the backing of heaven!!
14. Selfishness now is our main concern instead of the kingdom purposes of God- does this group( church) meet MY needs? Does it meet the needs of MY family? Will it make MY marriage better? Will it help ME to get over my depression? Will I be able to fulfill MY purpose in life? Etc etc
15. It replaces the extreme love of the Father for his creation and especially for the Body of Christ with a self centered family orientation and focus!
16. It ignores the kingdom mandate to proclaim his kingdom throughout the whole earth!!
17. The gospel is no longer the gospel of the kingdom ; but it’s now the gospel of salvation!
**These are some things that changed when men replaced the correct word Ecclesia with an incorrect translation church !!
