I love many members of this organization. But I had to abandon it all for the sake of having Jesus.

No, no organization is the Kingdom of heaven or Kingdom of God (I believe they are the same thing).
The Kingdom of God is not something we can see with natural eyes. Only through eyes of faith. We can see the effects of it though.
The Kingdom of God is not meat and drink, but rightousness, peace and joy, in the HOLY GHOST. Too many people look to an organization, or a pastor, or even parents, etc., to save them, but it won't happen.
We MUST look unto JESUS, the Author and the Finisher of our faith. We MUST TRUST in the LORD GOD with all our heart and not lean unto our own understanding. We MUST acknowledge Him in all our ways and love and serve HIM with ALL our heart, and HE SHALL direct our paths.
Don't look to anyone or anything, BUT LOOK to GOD. I believe the KINGDOM OF GOD/HEAVEN is LIFE IN THE HOLY GHOST! Not just receiving the Spirit of God, but going deeper and deeper IN HIM!
READ HIS WORD. Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the WORD OF GOD. EAT the WORD. CHEW and DIGEST it. MEDITATE on it, day and night.
Can we say that we are FULL OF THE HOLY GHOST! When a glass is full, there is no room for anything else. We should not be hungering and thirsting for anything else.
