ICHABOD: How to Tell if The Holy Spirit Has Left Your Church

By Kwame Y. Ampofo

There is no greater tragedy than when the presence of God departs from a church—yet services, miracles, and declarations continue as if nothing has changed. Many believers today sit in congregations where the Spirit of God has long since left, but the systems and performances carry on.

In ICHABOD: How to Tell if The Holy Spirit Has Left Your Church, Kwame Y. Ampofo sounds a wake-up call to those who sense something is deeply wrong in their church but struggle to articulate it. Drawing from biblical truth, he reveals how churches can continue to appear full of life—yet be spiritually dead. The book answers critical questions such as:

• How can a church look anointed but be void of God's presence?

• What are the warning signs that the Holy Spirit has departed?

• Why do many churches prioritize loyalty to leadership over loyalty to Christ?

• How do spiritual manipulation, fear, and deception keep people trapped in Ichabod churches?

• Should you stay and pray for change, or is it time to walk away?

• How can you find a true Spirit-filled church?

This book is not for those who are comfortable with deception. It is for believers who value truth over tradition and the Spirit over spectacle. It will challenge everything you thought you knew about spiritual authority, church culture, and what it truly means to walk in God's presence.

Using the Amplified Classic Bible, ICHABOD provides scriptural clarity, exposing how many churches today operate on emotional experiences, manipulation, and personal empire-building rather than genuine spiritual life. If you have ever questioned whether your church is truly led by God—or merely by gifted men—this book will provide the answers.

It is dangerous to remain in a place where the Holy Spirit has left. The question is: Will you recognize the signs before it's too late?
