Is the Perfection of the Flesh the Measure of Jesus Christ in our Faith?

Dear brethren and visitors,

I would like to share with you a cycle of growth I have just completed, for your edification, exhortation, and comfort.

In a moment of challenge Satan sparked feelings of suspicion as he sowed thought patterns of how my outward appearance may be too offensive to others, suggesting that my faith is therefore not a true testimony of Jesus Christ because I'm still struggling with my weight.

I reflected on how people may judge me for my outward appearance but my heart is pure by covenant
faith and this makes me acceptable to God as faith represents us before Him and not our outward appearance.

I also reflected on how our bodies will also be healed completely at the rapture as we get our glorified bodies and so it is not our focus in this timeframe. The world focuses on outward appearance, but we are focused on the concealed sign (regeneration) which beautifies the soul.

The world has to accept the testimony of grace regardless of the vessel it comes through. Those who stumble at our frailty have already failed the test but those seeking truth will accept this gospel.

The testimony of Jesus Christ is not in the perfection of the flesh but in the Spirit of prophecy which the world has access to as we steward the grace.

The False Religious System (FRS) has taught believers to seek God according to their problems so that he can resolve their finances, their relationships, their health, and their career issues. It is taught that when these themes and issues align with our aspirations and principles then it is the evidence of Christ in your life. So, believers ascribe weight loss to the testimony of Christ, or sudden riches to the testimony of Christ, or a promotion to the testimony of Christ.

Though God may be compassionate and grant these things to anyone He pleases, these things are not His will and are therefore not a testimony of His Son in our faith. The testimony of Jesus Christ in our faith is in charity (sharing of truth) which speaks of Jesus Christ and His covenant and not self (the flesh) – OUR circumstances, OUR life, OUR problems, OUR natural gifts, talents, and skills, OUR opinions, OUR aspirations, or OUR principles etc.

"We are here to inform and bear fruit, representing our Father's kingdom."

Yours in Christ,

Judgment in the House of God

Image
  INTRODUCTION Some of you might be familiar with the verse in 1 Peter 4:17 which reads, “For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God?” In this season of restoration God has sent the Steward of His House, Chief Apostle Dr. Eric VonAnderseck, to correct (judge) the universal Church and transition believers from the False Religious System (FRS) to the new covenant. Apostle Eric is the only apostle with the keys of David (revelation for new direction) to perform this enormous task. In Apostle Eric’s doctrine, “The Keys of David”, he writes, “God used David to move the temple from skin to stones. He gave to David the pattern. This revelation for new direction was called the 'KEY OF DAVID'.” We read about this in the Bible in I Chronicles 28: 11,12, 19. He also writes, “God also revealed to David about the change in the ORDER of the SERVICE of the priesthoo...

Unscrupulous Ministers

I would like to share a word of knowledge I suddenly just uttered this morning upon waking, for your edification, exhortation, and comfort. Time: 8:50 AM SAST Word of Knowledge: "Unscrupulous" Reflections: The Cambridge dictionary defines the word "unscrupulous" as "behaving in a way that is dishonest or unfair in order to get what you want". So, we can already see how God is addressing church leadership in the false Church. In the definition we can observe that there must first be a desire before we act upon it. Was Jesus the whole desire of these false ministers in the first place and somehow they went amiss? All believers desire to know Jesus and even the world desires to know God. But when the Church lost God's government and truth, it lost the altar of faith and God departed from her. Then there was a disconnect between desire and God's purpose. Believers were no longer seeking God according to His purpose (to beget sons and daughters in the l...

Simple Faith

Image
Recently I’ve been working on furthering my consistency with touching ALL the 9 tools of the new covenant every day and came up with a new routine that I am satisfied with. I have thus been experiencing an increase of grace and therefore an increase of strength for my will to do all that God requires us to do to please Him with perfect faith. For this reason, in this blog I would like to talk about how faith is simple, justify the Christian priesthood, contrast it to the priesthood of the flesh, and provide a gauge you can use to test if you are indeed walking in (active in) the priesthood of Jesus Christ. For 2000 years the Church has been in darkness without teaching apostles. When the early apostles died, the philosophies of the world and the traditions of man entered the Church and the result is the many-headed hydra we see today in the FRS which currently has over 45, 000 Christian denominations. Though each denomination embraces the fundamental knowledge of Jesus Christ (th...
