Simple Faith

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 (the historical facts), they are in conflict because they do not possess the foundation knowledge which comes through living apostles who lay it in the heart of believers as they teach the doctrine of Christ (1 Corinthians 3:10,11).

Believers need the foundation of truth to “think covenant” and reciprocate to the grace of God. It is the foundation to think like Jesus and speak the same things about Him and His covenant, to worship God under one Lord, one faith, and one baptism (Ephesians 4:5,6).

The only thing that pleases God is faith (Hebrews 11:6), so does it not stand to reason that we need the absolute truth on how to walk in perfect faith to please God?

Why Faith is Simple

If we look at every field of knowledge in the knowledge of civilization, Adamites are able to learn about it and use it practically for an expected outcome or product. If you go to Business School, you can start your own business and if you go to Culinary School, you can cook delicious meals for your customers.

The same thing applies in the fields of God’s knowledge. We learn about Christ and His covenant to function in the Christian priesthood and bear the fruits of the Spirit (Galatians 5:22,23).

The early apostles penned doctrine for the Church which instructed believers on the functions of Christian life such as HOW to pray (Ephesians 6:18), HOW to reflect on Christ (Philippians 4:8), and HOW to offer spiritual sacrifices of prophecy (1 Peter 2:5, 1 Corinthians 14:31). These are the fields of God’s knowledge and as you can see, these things are only mentioned in the Bible – the Bible does not expound on them or define them.

In Apostle Eric’s doctrine, “Truth. What is it?” we learn that the doctrine of Christ defines the words we read in the Bible from God’s experience of them therefore correctly classifying biblical words such as grace, faith, baptism, walking as Jesus, anointing, and warfare; this is the gospel of truth. The false doctrine is the incorrect classification of words found in the Bible about God and His ideas of salvation.

When the Church lost the leadership of true apostles the meaning of these words was chiselled and redefined hence false doctrines were born. Grace was reduced (chiselled) to “God’s unmerited favor”, righteousness was reduced to “being right with God”, and the baptism of the Holy Spirit was replaced with water baptism.

Now believers are plagued with a faith in crisis when their faith falls short of God’s standard and expectations and the conscience cries foul for remaining defiled with dead works (Galatians 5:19-26). Only the priesthood of Jesus Christ can purge the conscience of dead works because it is spiritual using heavenly knowledge which the Holy Spirit enters to establish Christ in the heart (conscience).

When our faith is joined to the stewardship of apostles and the priesthood of Jesus Christ, it works (reasons) with the correct classification of words in the Bible about God and His ideas of salvation and grace accompanies this gospel of truth to help us understand it and follow Jesus as our faith takes the correct form of activity.

Faith is then simple (easily understood and done) because the truth, provided through the doctrine of apostles, shows God’s way of salvation and grace provides the inspiration and clarity for us to follow it.

Jesus said His yoke (of truth) is easy and His burden (of the tools of His covenant) is light (Matthew 11:28-30) because the Holy Spirit enters this labor to quicken our understanding for the soul’s rest in Christ.

What You can Expect from the Christian Priesthood

The priesthood of Jesus Christ pertains to new knowledge and new tools to worship God with (reciprocate His grace in kind) and minister to Him at an altar of holy knowledge which we build when we learn the elements of the gospel which also construct the foundation of truth in the heart as apostles teach.

In the priesthood of Levi there was also knowledge, tools, an altar, and sacrifices. But in the priesthood of Jesus Christ these things are not physical but spiritual and so our sacrifices are of bloodless knowledge and are not animal sacrifices.

The priesthood of Jesus Christ goes hand in hand with prophecy (spiritual sacrifices of prophecy 1 Peter 2:5) which we offer to God as we draw upon the foundation of truth (thinking about Jesus and His covenant) to give force to this knowledge from an understanding heart of faith as we give it utterance through the lips.

This is how we prophesy Christ to learn from each other and edify, exhort, and comfort one another (1 Corinthians 14:31). This is also how the conscience is purged whereas the blood of animals could not purge the conscience for the remission of sins (the dead works of the flesh). Christ is established in the heart and fulfilled in the soul as we prophesy Him (Revelation 19:10).

What we are currently seeing in the FRS (false Church) today is how false ministers are teaching believers to mix the two major covenants (the old covenant of Moses and the new covenant of Jesus Christ) and to try to minister to God through the observance of Moses as their false doctrines are based on the laws and commandments God gave to Moses for sacrificial giving.

Are you promised the breaking of generational and poverty curses, doors and seasons of God’s favor opening to you, achieving financial prosperity, living the abundant life, cancelling your debt, becoming a millionaire, designing your life, changing your world, changing your circumstances, first fruits offerings, living God’s best, and the pathway to success?

These things hinge upon the sacrificial giving of Moses and the early apostles never taught these things but made a stark contrast between Moses and Jesus.

Are You Walking in the Christian Priesthood?

We said earlier that through the priesthood we use new knowledge (from the stewardship of apostles) and new tools to worship and minister to God and that the priesthood goes hand in hand with prophecy. We labor with the knowledge and tools of the new covenant to prophesy Christ which is true charity and the end of the commandment (1 Timothy 1:5).

To make sure we are not speaking at cross purposes with one another, I am providing a gauge which you can check against to see if indeed you are walking in the Christian priesthood.

To walk in the Christian priesthood is to be active with all the 9 tools of the new covenant and offer up to God spiritual sacrifices of prophecy as the true tithe of a portion of a field of God’s knowledge.

Government, Truth, and Spirit

• Are you attending New Testament assemblies, studying the doctrine of Christ, and co-laboring with the Holy Spirit by the anointing (building with what He highlights for your understanding)?

• · Are you studying the Bible using the anointing to behold the pattern of truth in the scriptures, and are you reflecting on the elements of the gospel?

Prayer, Preaching, and Prophecy

• · Are you praying mostly in tongues for at least an hour a day?

• · Are you hearing the Word of God preached through elder podcasts and assemblies?

• · Are you offering spiritual sacrifices of prophecy from the anointing?

The Gifts of the Spirit, The Manifold Graces, and the Callings

Are you reflecting, rehearsing, and reciprocating to steward the grace from what comes through:

• The 9 gifts of the Spirit (Word of Wisdom, Word of Knowledge, Faith, Physical Healing, Miracles, Prophecy, Discerning of Spirits, Tongues, Interpretation of Tongues)

• · The manifold graces (dreams, visions, physical manifestations, praying in tongues, gifts of the Spirit, spiritual government, the study of doctrine, and prophecy)

• · The 5 callings (apostle, prophet, teacher, pastor, evangelist)

If you are not doing these things daily (or not training to do them daily) then you are simply not walking in the Christian priesthood.

We have to learn from somewhere to please God the way He expects, and what God expects from faith is really very simple if we are willing to humble the will to His grace and receive the instruction of truth from living apostles.
