Ministry leaders have done all kinds of things to get the church ready for the Lord’s return, but there’s one thing they frown upon and that’s house cleaning.

Over the last 70 years or so, ministers moved into God’s house with their gifts. They moved in with their furniture and set up house in God’s house. Claiming to believe in the fivefold ministry, yet denying God’s due order and neglecting to observe how God structured the callings of His government to place the calling of the apostle first as His master builder. (1 Cor. 3:10-11; Eph. 2:20; Rom. 6:17)

1 Corinthians 12:28
And God hath set some in the church, first apostles, secondarily prophets, thirdly teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, diversities of tongues.

In this verse, God’s instructions are clear: apostles are first.

Yet, when ministers teach about fivefold ministry, they have a hard time explaining why God set apostles first. And since this is a new teaching for the church in this end time season and it is contrary to what has been practiced, it might not make sense to you.

To help cut through the confusion, think about building a house and ask yourself why the blueprint comes before the actual building starts. Now it makes more sense. God’s apostles are His master builders and He placed His blueprint of truth into their hands to build His kingdom in your heart. Who would try to build a house without a blueprint?

But that’s exactly what ministers did. So now, that has to be undone. The church is in transition from the failed traditions of former generations into the true house of Jesus Christ that is now fully manifested through God’s restored government.

Transition is a two-pronged move and I want to talk about that in this article. As God restores all the things of Christ that He had originally placed in His house, He’s also moving out the idols: the teaching, the doctrines, and the practices of the false church.

Through dreams and visions, God has confirmed this season of restoration wherein He is building again His true covenant house in Jesus’ name and cleaning out all the belongings of those who moved their things into His house to claim it as their own.

God is reclaiming your faith, and He brought this out again in a divine dream that He gave to Evangelist Beaudene Strydom who is part of His restored government. Let’s see how the Lord manifests His wisdom concerning the return of the apostolic stewardship. As you read through the dream and Evangelist Beaudene’s teaching, you’ll see the two-pronged move of God to reclaim His house.

By Evangelist Beaudene Strydom

I had a dream on the 19th of March, 2024 which I would like to share with you, which confirms the stewardship God has selected in this time, and the time of restoration for the church which we are in right now.

In this dream I saw people who were redecorating a woman’s house. The main theme of the décor was white and the style was minimalist, and it was beautiful.

The woman just stood there and didn’t look very happy about what was taking place. I told her to smile and that she should be happy and grateful for what these people were doing for her.

In the scene that followed I saw policemen walking up to the 2nd or 3rd floor of a building, carrying people’s furniture out – like it had been repossessed by the bank.

Then I stood outside and I saw the moon was really huge and bright. It was so huge and bright I had to look again as it seemed supernaturally large. Was it the real moon I saw or just something painted on a wall? End of dream.

This dream God that gave me is vital for the church today. First, the Lord shows that He’s redecorating His house. This speaks of how God is setting order to His house in this time of restoration. Apostle Peter spoke of how God’s judgment begins at His house.

1 Peter 4:17
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?

What is God judging? God is removing the knowledge and tools which have been present and active in the false religious system over the past years because the spiritual understanding of His saints reflects Moses and the kingdom of the flesh and not Christ, and is therefore not acceptable to God.

With the restoration of His covenant, priesthood and government, God is making known what is acceptable to Him.

Now let’s talk about the woman in my dream.

The woman in my dream that didn’t show appreciation for the work being done to redecorate her house is the false church. The false church is not happy about what is taking place as God returns the church to the simplicity of Christ (minimalist décor, yet beautiful).

In my dream, I spoke to the woman from the standpoint of my calling as an evangelist to encourage her to partake of the goodness of the Lord, as the Lord has also been encouraging the same through His restored government.

The ungrateful woman reveals the hearts of false shepherds who have been busy selling their own message of change to the church.

Many ministers, functioning outside of Jesus’ covenant can point out that there is something wrong with the church. They can point out the lack of the power of God in that system, but they are not able to provide the remedy, lacking the true apostolic calling.

Why is the power of God not experienced in the current church system today? Because the Holy Spirit will not empower anything outside of the covenant of Jesus Christ.

Now we can talk about the super-sized moon I saw in my dream.

God is making known through the lips of His steward (moon represents stewardship) His divine design and how He provided fully for us to serve Him, love Him, and worship Him from a place of living faith that manifests His fulness in the hearts of His saints. Everything of Christ that was removed from God’s house by men of religious ideals, is not restored to the church and moved back into His house.

While the spearhead of God’s plan of restoration is Apostle Eric vonAnderseck, it’s important to understand that restoration did not originate in his mind. In other words, Apostle Eric does not minister of his own mind, nor do the elders of God’s restored government minister of our own minds.

Restoration was born in the heart of God – it is God’s plan and He selected these individuals to assist with the fulfilling of His plan. But there will always be controversy between the true stewardship and the counterfeit stewardship.

We have an example of that between Moses (God’s servant) and Korah (counterfeit stewardship). Moses said something to Korah to answer the contradiction that arose between his stewardship and Korah’s stewardship that rings true for us today.

Numbers 16:28
And Moses said, Hereby ye shall know that the LORD hath sent me to do all these works; for I have not done them of mine own mind.

God’s spiritual government says the same thing today: we have not done these things of our own mind. There are those that will accept the call of God’s grace but many false ministers and believers alike will frown upon this work of restoration God is doing because it is not in line with their religious aspirations (symbolized by the woman seemingly unhappy about having her house redecorated).

The reality TV show, Hoarders, illustrates perfectly why God is redecorating His house – it is filled with piles and piles of junk teaching and broken promises that were not based on His plan.

I want to move on to the next point God is bringing out through my dream. The policemen (figure of authority) that carried the furniture out of the house speaks of the authority God has given His selected steward and restored spiritual government to instruct and assist the body of Christ to receive the apostles’ doctrine, which is the foundation of truth which we are all to build upon.

If you want to build the house of God, you need to undergo doctrinal cleansing and this can only take place INSIDE the covenant of Jesus under the OVERSIGHT of God’s knowledge steward.

God is throwing out old pieces of furniture that doesn’t belong in His house and He is redecorating it with that which HE delights in. God gives an example of this in something that took place during the season of restoration through Nehemiah.

Nehemiah called the people to come back to the covenant that God had established at that time through Moses.

The first thing that God called for was a separation from the “mixed multitude”. The Jews’ departure from God’s law meant that they took up the religious ideals and practices of their neighbors. They so disrespected the Lord, that they turned the chambers of the temple into their own living quarters.

This so grieved Nehemiah, the Lord’s servant, that he singled out one of the transgressors whose name was Tobiah and cleared all of his stuff out of the Lord’s house.

Nehemiah 13:8
And it grieved me sore: therefore I cast forth all the household stuff to Tobiah out of the chamber.

Tobiah didn’t act alone. Just like the false ministry networks we see today, Tobiah partnered with Eliashib the priest, who had the oversight of the chambers of the house of God. Tobiah had moved his things into God’s house on the authority of Eliashib.

God is equally grieved with the many ministry networks who mix scripture with their own religious ideals and missions, and moved their doctrinal baggage and garbage into His house. This time of house cleaning (doctrinal cleansing) has been appointed by God to align His saints to His new covenant in Jesus.

One last thing the Lord is bringing out in this divine dream is how He is enlarging the presence of His apostolic stewardship. The moon being so huge and bright speaks of the importance of stewardship and the value God places upon this token and gift to the church.

The fact that it was so huge and bright in my dream also speaks of how all will come to know who God’s steward is and they will either accept God’s care and oversight or they will reject it – also rejecting Christ.

In the dream I thought of whether the moon was real or if it was only a painting on a wall. What we see in this is the challenge of choice. Jesus prayed saying, “Father, glorify thy name.” A voice from heaven said, “I have both glorified it, and will glorify it again.” It’s interesting how some of the people who heard God’s voice said that it was just thunder that they heard and others heard the voice of God and believed. (Jn. 12:28-29)

The same is happening in these last days. God sent the messengers of the covenant to inform all of their need to come into His house – many will take what they hear to the natural to build their own path to God, but some will accept the voice of the Lord in His stewardship and will choose to serve Him according to Jesus’ covenant.

Joshua 24:15
And if it seem evil unto you to serve the LORD, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.

(end of Evangelist Beaudene’s teaching)

There is so much to glean from Evangelist Beaudene’s dream and her teaching. We can’t say that we are for God’s season of restoration and be against it at the same time. We can’t say that we are for God’s apostolic stewardship and be against God’s purpose to provide His blueprint of truth through them.

This brings us back to why God is again sending His apostles into the church and why He placed them first in His spiritual government. This point is epoch.

God placed apostles first because He placed a premium upon His foundation of truth. If you don’t get the foundation of truth right, everything is wrong from that point on. There is so much that is wrong in the church today and now you know why.

We’re talking about the lack of real spiritual transformation and the devastating impact that has on those who are desperate to know God. Let’s look at three common examples of things that Christians say every day when transformation does not take place because the foundation of truth was not first built in their hearts by apostles.

1. I believe in the gifts of the Spirit, but I haven’t seen any real transformation or spiritual growth. Did I miss God? Am I supposed to wait for a new season?

Did you know: Transformation is by divine design. The gifts of the Spirit are first connected to God through your priesthood. Knowing that God has gifts for you won’t change you on the inside or help you grow spiritually if you don’t know how God connected the gifts to your priesthood and growth cycles. The Holy Spirit works with these connections to bear witness to Christ and to create in you the substance of His kingdom.

2. I know that everyone in the body of Christ is called to contribute, but I don’t know where I fit in.

There are connections God designed into His grace that enable you to contribute to build His house every day. However, without first building the foundation of truth in their hearts, saints remain grace illiterate. They’re not able to make the most basic of connections that allow them to work with God and allow God to work through them.

3. I’m quoting the scriptures and I’m putting what I read in the Bible into practice, but I don’t know what I’m doing wrong because I’m not seeing deliverance or victory.

Again, we can see that God has a good reason for placing the calling of the apostle first. How can you benefit from God’s covenant contact without first putting His covenant terms into practice?

In the beginning of this article, we talked about the importance of placing apostles first in God’s spiritual government. We asked, who would try to build a house without a blueprint?

God aligns your faith to one frame of knowledge to ensure that you would be successful each day to meet His expectations in Christ and not get lost in the traditions and philosophies of man-made teachings. God is remapping the Christian culture.

And this takes us back to God’s blessed provision in the calling of the apostle. The church that is built God’s way (with His apostles first), begins to experience the domino of blessings cascade upon the other four callings and His saints. The true government of God manifests the true apostolical character.

Many ministers today claim to believe in fivefold ministry and gather together in different apostolic and prophetic networks, yet remain outside of the new covenant that God established in Jesus. These ministers are marked by God as counterfeit.

The Adonijah counterfeit.

The same thing happened when king David passed on the baton of leadership to his son Solomon, whom God chose as David’s successor.

David didn’t know that Adonijah had stepped forward to claim the throne for himself. Adonijah sent out invitations to everyone he considered to be an influencer of his time. He wanted to gather them together to make his claims official. The only people he didn’t invite were Solomon and Nathan, God’s true prophet.

God knew of Adonijah’s challenge against the house of David and against the testimony that He planned to establish through Solomon. And when Adonijah made his speech about his qualifications, the false prophet, Abiathar the priest stood by his side to confirm and bear witness to what they were calling a move of God. (1 Kg. 1:5-36)

But God called this gathering a conspiracy against him and pointed out the Adonijah counterfeit.

Did you know: gathering many voices together to confirm an Adonijah apostleship does not mean that God has confirmed it. God is making distinction between the counterfeit apostolic (those who appoint themselves) and His true apostles whom He called to step into the shoes of the original apostles in true apostolic succession.

Just like there was a true testimony that God had planned through Solomon that Adonijah wanted to steal for himself, there is a testimony that God has planned to preserve in Jesus through His true apostles that counterfeit apostles want to steal.

The prophecy laid out by Isaiah also speaks to this generation.

Isaiah 54:15
Behold, they shall surely gather together, but not by me: whosoever shall gather together against thee shall fall for thy sake.

We are living in an unprecedented time of church history where God is again speaking to the church through His restored government with one voice. Apostle Jude said something extraordinary to this generation when speaking of the “common salvation” that was taught by apostles to all God’s saints.

Jude 1:3
Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints.

Common salvation means that the saints shared in the common knowledge of Jesus’ covenant and therefore shared a common experience of God’s work within them. This is the miracle of the unity of the faith experienced in the diversity of the gifts of grace from one foundation of truth.

When speaking of God’s work in this new season, Apostle Eric vonAnderseck said, “The anointing speaks to the righteous the conscience of the Father to be one with Him and the Lord Jesus Christ and to multiply His likeness in charity and fruitful faith.”

Prophet Rudi Jeffery said, “God has given us points of contact to touch Him through Jesus Christ which are also our points of strength by which we are empowered to observe His will.”

Apostle John Welty, in his teaching, talked about the divine power for the divine change, “God awakens us in expectation for divine change through contact with His divine power but sadly most lose hope because they were never taught how to walk in covenant agreement with God.”

Teacher Wilby Jeffery explained God’s expectation for our increase in Him, “By the anointing of truth our perception is adorned with the divine light of God’s virtue. By His righteous judgements God challenges faith for the purpose of the soul’s increase in Christ as we walk in obedience to His voice, having our perception framed in the light of His holy knowledge.”

Apostle Catie van der Walt, in her teaching talked about our walk of faith, “The righteous consider everything in their walk of faith to take care to build God’s house according to the pattern set in truth. As we consider the testimony of God as being greater than the powers of the flesh, then we are able to gain and retain His mind in peace.”

Evangelist Zachariah LaPinta speaks of how God links stewardship to priesthood, “Christ lives, so we mate not with the law of Moses but as Jesus is our wisdom through His apostolic stewardship, the priesthood follows the new law of the Spirit of life to touch Him for multiplication through pure reciprocation.”

Teacher Sandra Wolmarans brought out the refuge God has built for His saints, “Sanctified stewardship provides for the refuge of the saints. We are given pure doctrine and function to learn Christ, to follow the divine plan of God and labour in the new covenant priesthood, where grace is our Master and our charity which testifies of Christ, continues to feed our soul, and strengthen our faith.”

Prophet Jacqueline Vaaltyn, speaking about the unity of the body of Christ said, “The righteous are saved as they steadfast labor with the tools and knowledge of Jesus Christ. This labor of faith tethers them to God as one body.”

Apostle Erika Blignaut taught on the need for the saints to receive instruction, “Most don’t know that God considers the instruction in the doctrine of Christ a necessary step to gain multiple skills to function in His kingdom… The precept of scripture, and the letter of the law can touch man’s thinking to inspire change in behavior, but cannot affect the soul to change his nature; for only Christ’s fullness has this power, which power He bestows in the token of the anointing.”

Pastor Jane Odendaal explains the connection between doctrine and maturity in Christ, “Can a person be on their way to true spiritual maturity if they are not partaking of Christ? Obviously not. How can we give to God what He wants if we have not prepared ourselves to know what He wants?… I want to unpack this deep mystery of Christ to see why God connected His doctrine to our spiritual eating habits, growth, and maturity.”

Prophet Casey Ringer in his exhortation said, “In Jesus’ words we see a clear distinction of the Father’s goal for us, which is to orient us to discipleship, patterned after Jesus Christ, to fill our soul with divine fruit that glorifies Him. God’s plan for you to reach His goal is built into Jesus’ covenant.”

Apostle Bronwyn Du Plooy brought out the same distinction in her teaching: “All religious cultures preach against sin, but sin is not the gospel; redemption is the gospel and that’s why the true gospel preaches our redemption in Christ through all of God’s covenant connections. This is the gospel of regeneration – the gospel of fruit bearing in the soul.”

Prophet Jonathan spoke of why God selected one truth for our faith, “God designed only one truth because He wants only one house.”

Teacher Wendy Nilsson teaches how discernment takes place in the body, “Did you know that the Holy Spirit will not make ANY knowledge living and effectual within? He is the Spirit of truth. He will not empower truth in part. The fires of the anointing are lit to purify the heart and to gain discernment as we draw from the foundation of truth laid in the heart by true master builders (God’s appointed apostles).”

Apostle Estelle Tolmay taught on the power of deception, “Their unbelief is rooted in Satan’s indifference to God’s plan. Satan’s long-game is to numb believers to God by the repeat exposure to the counterfeit. By way of suffering repeat-devastation of let-down, continued breach of trust, people build walls that they think protect them from deception but they also use those same walls to resist God’s call today.”
