God gave me a prophetic dream that confirms His divine hand to place apostolic stewardship at the hub or center of the church. The restoration and re-positioning of the apostle’s office was not done with prejudice, but with wisdom, as this is necessary to return the church to her roots, or ancestral knowledge of Jesus Christ. Ancestral knowledge was ministered to Teacher Maria vonAnderseck. God is pointing to the restoration of the original knowledge and covenant culture of the church.

Why is this so important? It’s important because knowledge is the key that unlocks the meaning of our salvation that God wants you to have, but the devil wants to take away, even as Jesus said, “Woe unto you, lawyers! for ye have taken away the key of knowledge: ye entered not in yourselves, and them that were entering in ye hindered.” (Luke 11:52)

God’s knowledge bears His equity; it bears the likeness of Christ and this is how faith pleases Him, as we read in Hebrews 11:6, “But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.”

In my dream (March 21, 2021) the Lord showed me a wheel with many spokes like the diagram Apostle Eric vonAnderseck shares in his teaching of the Church Wheel. The wheel in my dream was the size of a wagon wheel and it was mounted on top of a cylinder. As the wheel rotated it began to pick up speed and generated power.

The velocity of the wheel was incredible. The wheel was turning at a very high rate of speed, like a jet engine. I could hear and feel it’s power and momentum and stood amazed. The church, functioning as it should with stewardship at the hub, I marveled at the true potential of the church.

You can look at the Apostle Eric’s diagram and listen to his teaching in the video posted in this article to help you further understand what God is saying to the church through this prophetic dream.

The diagram shows stewardship positioned by God at the center, or hub of the Church Wheel. Each spoke of wheel is constructed of all the things God provided in Jesus’ covenant for our unity and mobility. Everything that God placed in the covenant of Jesus Christ is in the wheel, and our function with these things of Christ (to partake of His life) is called a priesthood.

There’s a disconnect in the church that God is addressing. Everyone wants to contribute their revelation or understanding of the scriptures as God’s vision for the church, so their attention is on the spokes of the wheel.

But what is truly central to the wheel is the hub. If the hub is missing, the wheel is broken, meaning the church is immobile, unable to function, and unable grow in the grace of God.

It’s true that God distributes His gifts of grace to all members of the body, but this would be quite meaningless if the body does not know how to rightly divide grace or discern Satan’s counterfeit. Discipleship in the new covenant terms and tools comes first to equip believers with knowledge. This is why God’s first focus is to establish stewardship as the hub of the church.

Apostle Paul brought our attention to what comes first in the church by saying, “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.” (1 Corinthians 12:28)

Although everyone wants to contribute their revelation or understanding of the scriptures as God’s vision for the church, God set order to the church by placing apostles first to direct the church in the knowledge and the terms of the covenant of Jesus Christ. In this way, apostles fit the church to Jesus Christ, who is the hub or center of the church. Apostle Paul said it this way, that Jesus is the corner stone of our faith.

Ephesians 2:20
And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone.

It is not a contradiction to say that Jesus is the hub of the church and to say that apostles are the hub of the church. Apostles are Jesus’ ambassadors on earth. The apostolic government of God sits, or is positioned on Jesus’ shoulders (Isaiah 9:6).
Jesus being the chief corner stone of our faith means that the covenant knowledge is our starting point to reason with Him, to know Him, to walk with Him, obey Him, and hear Him, and this is why God set the apostle’s calling in the center of the church.
Jesus being the chief corner stone of our faith is also reflected in the spokes of the wheel. Just as the hub represents Jesus in the apostolic stewardship, so also do the spokes of the wheel also represent Jesus in His spiritual tools and priesthood to connect the people to God and to one another through our Lord Jesus Christ.

Jesus brought to light what false ministers fear the most when He said, “Woe unto you, lawyers! for ye have taken away the key of knowledge: ye entered not in yourselves, and them that were entering in ye hindered.” (Luke 11:52)

False ministers today are as the religious leaders whom Jesus rebuked, in that they fear the key (stewardship) and the knowledge (Jesus’ covenant) and so take it away by presenting their truths and ministry visions and goals, thus stepping in the way of those seeking to enter into covenant.

The key of knowledge is what false ministers fear the most. And in Apostle Eric’s teaching on the Church Wheel, he brings out that, “the anointing is upon the knowledge and the knowledge comes through the stewardship.”

Just as the covenant knowledge comes from the hub of stewardship, so too does doctrinal cleansing by which God purifies the bride by removing all religious and philosophical traditions of man that defiles faith. It is understandable that this cleansing and purification is also what ministers fear.

You will hear ministers call for sacrifices to be made even when it hurts, even when it does not make sense, yet we see them run from doctrinal cleansing, unwilling to sacrifice or give up their well-established philosophical comfort zones.

Believers who fear God obey Him, instantly yielding to grace, to submit themselves to doctrinal cleansing to return to the true and original framework of truth, even when it does not make sense to the direction they had intended to go. It hurts to let go of independent truths, it hurts to empty our pockets of all the beliefs and philosophies that we once believed was the will of God.

That long standing habit of ministers is to try to do this themselves and that’s why you’ll see them reinventing and re-defining their faith. They’re trying to trade-up by seemingly turning in their carnal perspectives for something that looks more noble, but in reality, nothing has changed.

It will not make sense to the carnal, or natural mind of man that God began with one steward of grace to restore the church to the truth He wants the church to build with.

The Scribes and Pharisees that came to John the Baptist to check him out, were also afraid, and so they refused John’s baptism. In truth, they were not really afraid of the water because they observed many cleansing rituals and ablutions. John’s stewardship is what they feared. They measured themselves by the experiences they gained in their own religious sects and considered themselves to have the discerning eye and ear.

They were going to play the “wait and see” game, and Jesus reproved them for their disobedience in rejecting John, whom God sent.

Luke 7:24-26,30
24 What went ye out into the wilderness for to see? A reed shaken with the wind?

25 But what went ye out for to see? A man clothed in soft raiment? Behold, they which are gorgeously apparelled, and live delicately, are in kings’ courts.

26 But what went ye out for to see? A prophet? Yea, I say unto you, and much more than a prophet.

30 But the Pharisees and lawyers rejected the counsel of God against themselves, being not baptized of him.

God’s voice was in the prophet whom God sent. Prophet John was God’s steward, which the Pharisees and lawyers feared and thus rejected. They feared the loss of their religious position. They did not have the fear of God.

This is not the first time that God placed stewardship at the hub or center of the church. If we look at Moses and the stewardship of knowledge God assigned to him, we see that God started with a man and revealed to Moses the entire blueprint of knowledge that was the first covenant.

The children of Israel needed this blueprint of knowledge to know how their faith and worship was to be fully expressed according to the mind of God, and to agree to restrict their faith to God’s blueprint.

The priests, the workmen, and the people of Israel all received the same set of instructions from Moses, and Moses had to follow through to oversee the construction of the tabernacle and altar in order to confirm that all things flowed in line with the blueprint he had received from God.

Independent ministry was never God’s intention, that was the devil’s brainchild to counterfeit God’s church. To help you understand why independent ministry is not obedience and why it is not part of the Church Wheel, I want to take us to the book of Numbers where God takes the anointing that is upon Moses and places it upon 70 elders.

Numbers 11:16-17
16 And the Lord said unto Moses, Gather unto me seventy men of the elders of Israel, whom thou knowest to be the elders of the people, and officers over them; and bring them unto the tabernacle of the congregation, that they may stand there with thee.

17 And I will come down and talk with thee there: and I will take of the spirit which is upon thee, and will put it upon them; and they shall bear the burden of the people with thee, that thou bear it not thyself alone.

I want you to see what the 70 elders did NOT do. They didn’t turn to the people and say, “We don’t know what God is doing or what He is going to do, but don’t worry, we are going to go up into the mountain to hear God’s voice and then we’ll come back to you with our vision.”

Would that make sense? No. It doesn’t make sense for the obvious reason that they were present when Moses instructed the children of Israel on all counts of the first covenant terms and tools they were to observe and do. They already heard God’s voice through Moses.

In addition, the 70 elders did NOT say, “We’re not penguins Moses, we don’t have to follow you! We are going to go to God ourselves to see what He wants us to do!”

They did not say, “You’re not the boss of me, Moses. I hear from God, too, and that’s why I’m going back to the mountain to hear the voice of God for myself. I have to be obedient to the Lord, no matter if it doesn’t make sense at the moment.”

You can hear how ridiculous that would sound to Moses’ ears and how contrary that would be to the will of God. This would also be a very sad sign that these elders had not listened to Moses in the first place, that they were not taught how to serve God and to know God, and were going backward to hear God’s voice. God insisted that His voice was in His steward, Moses.

How confusing it would have been for the children of Israel to see the 70 trusted elders splitting up and going off into 70 different directions, promising to come back with fresh revelation from God! That would be going backward, wouldn’t it?

Which elder would you follow? It’s a valid question because the same thing is happening today. You might say something like, “Well, I’ll just wait to see what God says through each one of these elders and take what I feel God is speaking to me.” Again, this does not make sense in light of the revelation (blueprint of truth) they had already received from Moses. Nothing was missing from their faith because Moses gave them the terms of the first covenant and they were observing and doing all that God had commanded.

What would God have called the new movement of the 70 elders to go off to seek Him for revelation and direction? God would have rightly called that rebellion, not obedience. No matter how deeply they felt this conviction, it would have been rebellion.

It is because the elders were already functioning fully with everything God supplied for their faith through His knowledge steward Moses, that they knew exactly what to do. They knew what the tabernacle was for, what the priesthood was for, and they knew the terms of the covenant to which they had agreed.

In this we see that Moses was the hub of the church in the wilderness. God had already supplied the blueprint of truth to the people through Moses.

Because God designed truth to be fully functioning within the boundaries of that first covenant, we wouldn’t hear anyone wondering what to do, or talking about a “new” thing God might do someday soon.

Not one of the 70 said that something was missing from their faith and therefore they had to seek God for the answer. And that’s what we do hear from ministers today and that is how you can discern their revelations. Their revelations are not coming from the hub.

The restoration of the church begins with stewardship because Jesus intentionally placed the apostle’s calling in the hub of the church. It was not an accident on God’s part, nor did Jesus hide stewardship, hoping that you wouldn’t mind receiving His doctrine from His steward; hoping against hope that doctrinal cleansing would not be too painful for you to endure. The very thing that ministers are afraid of is the thing they need the most.

In my dream, as God showed me the Church Wheel, my sight zoomed in and focused in on the “longsuffering” spoke. And again, you can see that in the diagram Apostle Eric shared in his video teaching.

The longsuffering spoke represents the challenges to overcome. This new season of change and renewal of the church to the hub of stewardship is also a season of challenge. God is calling ministers to be done with trying to mobilize and empower passion, and to be longsuffering with His plan to refit the church with the true doctrine of Christ, which is the knowledge of Jesus and His covenant that has been missing from their faith.

God uses the construction of a wheel to illustrate the whole body of Christ and how it functions as one community of believers, joined together with God and how God sustains the body with revelation that is of Him. Revelation is given to each member of the body through the priesthood and all the members benefit as we all steward the grace of God for growth. This corporate stewardship of grace happens after doctrinal cleansing, not before.

This is the experience of the restored church, today, and this was the experience of the early church under the stewardship of Apostle Paul, as he wrote to the Ephesians.

Ephesians 4:13-14
13 Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ:

14 That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive.

God’s plan to mobilize the church through His knowledge stewards is backward to what ministers want to do. It is backward to their vision and ministry goals. They are trying to use the corporate stewardship of grace for growth as a way for everyone to contribute to the blueprint of truth, and that’s not God’s design. God calls that a deception because believers are blown back and forth with every wind of doctrine.

When Jesus said, “I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last (Revelation 22:13), He meant that He is the beginning and end of our faith, and everything in between. The church perfectly reflects Jesus when stewardship is the hub of the church. Thankfully, God restored all five callings, unified into one spiritual government of God, which is also in the hub of the Church Wheel.

Going back to my dream, after showing me the Church Wheel, God also showed me a toy sized battle tank, where one of the wheels was not moving like the other ones were. I began to diagnose the problem. I examined the wiring harness that powered the tank, where I found that some wires had been chewed through by a mouse.

I then looked to see where the other end of the harness went. It was connected to the cylinder powered by the Church Wheel. [end of the dream]

Tanks: Tanks represents spiritual warfare, and God is speaking to the desire of ministers to harness His power to be battle ready, to confront the devil, to be strong in the Lord, to be God’s voice of victory, to shout down the devil with decrees.

Mice chewing through wires: We can understand what happens when mice chew through wires. There’s a break in the power, and when you flip the switch to make your morning cup of coffee, nothing is going to happen.

There are many disconnections that God is addressing in the church for healing. The battleground taken by ministers in all of its many shades of color is very familiar to every believer, whether you are battling it out with scripture against scripture like the apologetics do, or whether you’re seeking to be God’s voice to believers to tell them how to live a life that is stress free like religious conference speakers do, or whether you’re seeking to be God’s prophetic voice to resolve the issues of life like those who give themselves over to psycho-phecy. . . these all fail to connect to God’s power; they are powerless tools.

The Church Wheel powered the cylinder, like an engine attached to a generator, meaning that God is the source of the true power our faith needs to please Him and walk with Him in righteousness and true holiness.

God poses a question to those ministering interdependent of His stewardship, and thus independent of Jesus Christ: What is empowering your faith, is it the power provided by Jesus through His covenant, or is it the power provided by your will? Without the foundation of truth, you cannot discern which power you are joined to.

Jesus Christ being at the center of the church empowers the mobility of the church. The instruction and direction of stewardship reflects Christ (the power), and our priesthood joins our faith to His power.

Toy Tank: Moving on to the next symbolism. In that the tank in my dream was a toy tank, God points to the many religious aspirations (mentioned above), as mere child’s play, a figment of one’s imagination joined to scripture.

Ministers want to hook their message to God’s power, but their truths are not being empowered by God and that’s because the things they allowed to remain in their belief system erode away the covenant connection, causing grand scale malfunctions.

God’s main covenant connections are: government (stewardship), truth (foundation elements and priesthood), and Spirit (the seal and sanctifying power of the Holy Spirit). Think of this as God’s 3-fold cord that tethers our faith to His throne. If any strand in this cord is severed, the tethering to God’s throne is broken, and hence the tank (spiritual warfare tactics) is not empowered by God.

On the battlefield, a siting tank is an easy prime target. Satan seeks to kill, steel, and destroy everything that God created, and the righteous are his prime targets.

In this new apostolic age, you will see more of God’s restored government diagnosing these problems as God continues to address the false and carnal (fake) gospel.

God has realigned the understanding of the church. If we look at Apostle Eric’s diagram, the spokes of the Church Wheel represent the things we see in Jesus; these are His spiritual power tools that God assigned to our faith to connect to Him (we looked at the first 3 tools earlier): government, truth, Spirit; the gifts, callings, graces of God; prayer, preaching, and prophecy.

The Holy Spirit effects the divine change, or daily transformation in us, as we see in the diagram, namely, the fruit of the Spirit (love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, and temperance). These virtues of Christ are not made with the hands of man, but are a direct result of our contact with Jesus’ power tools.

The Church Wheel being attached to the generator informs our understanding: from the visible power (our daily transformative experiences) to the invisible power (Jesus’ power tools). This is transformation God’s way. The power produced represents its parentage. These connections are necessary for the believer to be properly equipped to stand on the battlefield of faith.

From this new understanding and new experience, the church gains new discernment about the power (passion, zeal, remorse) ministers continue to use as bait to exploit believers. It is not the power of God; it is will power. The will joined to scripture and the good intentions of prayer promises to be something someday, but your faith is being led on by the fruitless labor of the imagination.

The imagination is able to bend the will as the stage is set (false revival meetings, prayer gatherings, tearful confessions, declarations of scripture, prophetic utterances about God’s power and what God might do someday, ambiguous language of floodgates opening, and a multitude of worship highs), which all say the same thing: that the labor of the will is producing something. The problem is that what is being produced is not sustainable because it is not God’s power that is producing it.

Only the sanctified knowledge and tools of Jesus Christ are truly transformative to the soul. True regeneration of the soul is by divine design to produce the fruit of Christ that pleases God. True regeneration brings the soul into the rest that comes from laboring with God, and the true hope born of the substance He places in the heart, witnessed by the true peace of His equity.

The church experiences all things of Christ and is mobile when all things of Christ are included and set in order by God’s divinely called stewards of grace.

God uses the covenant of Jesus Christ as His classroom and offers hands-on learning experiences with the anointing, but in order for you to be equipped with all the things of Christ that God has for you (including your calling into God’s government), you need to be instructed in Jesus’ covenant, and this instruction of knowledge comes through apostles today just as it did in the early church.

Those who deny God’s stewardship also deny God’s due process and take away the key of knowledge, just as the religious leaders did in Jesus’ time, and they are just as deserving of God’s rebukes.
