Authority (21) - Kingdom of God

Most people think that the Kingdom of God is established by putting a Christian at the top of the hierarchy. The yellow arrow represents the Holy Sprit’s authority. It is possible to impose religious authority in this way, but there are two main problems.

Firstly, Jesus refused to establish the Kingdom of God by imposing power. Using imposed authority to establish the Kingdom actually undermines it. Secondly, this approach leaves the organisation vulnerable to demonic attack. The enemy can regain control with minimal forces.
