Today we hear ministers cry out to God, saying, “We need somebody to bring order to the church world.” This cry comes from a heart that is torn between thousands of different doctrines, truths, and partial truths that leaves the soul unregenerated, unfulfilled, and empty of any virtue of Christ.

Is it any wonder that some are again turning to deliverance ministry (false regeneration) to fill this void? The real outcry is for the power of God, but transformation will never be found outside of Jesus’ covenant, and partial truths cannot be overcome with more partial truths. That’s a strategy taken straight from Satan’s playbook.

False regeneration has its start in partial truths so I want to focus on partial truths to find out what they are and why they are so deadly. A partial truth is knowledge that is untethered from God and therefore it’s dead – it’s dead knowledge – its lifeless knowledge.

You can say a lot of things that are true about God and how it is God’s will to change people and how God’s power is available to change people, but when separation does not take place, change does not take place.

Let’s qualify separation: Usually when you talk about separation, people think that you’re talking about sin; that separation is a sin issue, but it’s not. When God talks about separation, He’s talking about His stewardship and priesthood and the cleansing that comes through that door.

People are not separating themselves to the stewardship and priesthood God selected for our cleansing to establish us in the power of His new covenant care.

What happens when separation does not come first?

When separation doesn’t come first, people look for the power of God outside of the covenant He made with us through Jesus, and that places God’s power outside of regeneration and that’s why we have churches full of unchanged people.

God will only confirm Jesus and empower the knowledge of His covenant. That’s the true gospel that God sanctified to heal your soul and create in you His nature, which is His name and true power of God we partake of every day. We love God by His power to be conformed to His likeness by His strength.

We’ve all heard the pitch – find a scripture that covers your need and believe God’s promise to fill that need. It’s the tantalizing carrot that speaks to your desire to walk in the true power of God. People can feel the reality is so close, but at the same time, it’s still so far away.

The problem is that pursuing God’s promise is backward to the way God planned to work in you. God starts with Jesus and His covenant to first establish us in His ways that are different from our own.

And this is what I want you to think about the next time you cry out to God for healing for your family, your relationships, and your innermost self.

Apostle Eric vonAnderseck recently posted on X, saying, “As the stars, the nuances of the soul caverns are as numerous, and even if you send an imaginary satellite to explore its depths to find “thyself”, it would be vain. God gave us Jesus’ covenant for healing, knowing its secrets, making intercession for us by His power.” (Rom. 8:27; Ps. 44:21)

When the gospel of the covenant is not preached then God’s work in you is left undone. You can’t cut God’s power lines and then accuse Satan of sabotage.

The thing about dead knowledge (partial truth) is that it can still hold a believer spell bound in false hope. That’s because ministers can say things that are true about God’s love through Jesus and God’s power through Jesus to save, heal, and deliver, but not the PLAN of God’s love through Jesus’ covenant.

In other words, failing to connect God’s love to the terms He set for our access to Him is half the truth, or a partial truth – it’s a partial gospel.

So then, just to recap, a sign that a minister is speaking partial truths is that some of the things he says is true (God does want to transform you), but he fails to connect to God’s new covenant in Jesus and people are not separating themselves to His stewardship and priesthood. It’s interesting to watch that happen and it usually begins with a minister listing the things he is against.

A partial truth only goes so far as to point out what is clear. People generally see the same things and are against the same things. A partial truth minister sees what everyone else sees and brings out what everyone else has already been saying. For example:

– We cannot follow wolves… they have to be corrected.
– We cannot follow false prophets… they have to be corrected.
– We cannot follow false teaching… that has to be corrected.
– There’s no real transformation… that has to be corrected.

It’s true, we ought not to listen to wolves, or false prophets, or false teachers. And it’s true that there’s no real transformation taking place in the hearts of those who said yes to Jesus, but did not say yes to His covenant. So, partial truths speak against what’s wrong in the church, but not what’s right concerning Jesus’ covenant.

Apostle Peter instructed believers to be aware of false teachers, but the Baptist thinks that the Pentecostals and Charismatics are false and vice versa. False means outside of God’s government, His kingdom, and apostolic oversight. That’s how God defines what is false to Him. (2 Pet. 2:1)

The church is asking, “Who has the standard?” It comes down to the divine, apostolic calling.

When a minister lists his grievances, he’s thinking about his own involvement and journey with generational deception; he’s a Diotrephes believer, standing outside of correction, while trying to correct his ways and thus bring his brand of order to the church, and this is why Apostle John said that Diotrephes “receives us [apostles] not”. (3 Jn. 1:9)

This same correction was brought out again by Apostle John in Revelation chapters 2 and 3, where Jesus addressed those who were building concepts of God outside of the boundaries of His new covenant. In other words, they wanted the blessing of the covenant without the responsibility to His covenant. That’s an untethered relationship that exists only in a person’s mind.

Know this: A minister can acknowledge that God is convicting him that he left people in bondage, but this does not mean that God selected him to lead people to liberty. He assumes that his personal journey with generational deception somehow qualifies him to teach, but he’s still teaching partial truths and has failed to submit to Jesus’ apostolic authority.

A Diotrephes believer observes without participating and that means he’s not building God’s kingdom. And in truth, he can’t build because he has no foundation nor tools and without these, his faith is vain because his priesthood has not been cleansed. That’s what takes the apostolic calling.

So many people say that the issue of the gospel is a heart issue, but in truth, the issue of the gospel is a stewardship issue. God won’t be able to work in your heart as He planned without first getting you established in the covenant of Jesus Christ and that’s what apostolic stewardship is all about.

As God sets order to His church, believers learn how He defines a false elder (wolf). Korah is God’s example. Korah was false because he opposed Moses’ authority and taught his own version of God’s will that was based on his desire for deliverance. So, he was false to God, but true to himself.

Korah observed everything God said and did through Moses, but reimagined and re-visioned another way to get deliverance. So, not only did he despise stewardship, but he observed without building with Moses. In fact, Korah was building outside of God’s government and that put him outside of God’s will.

And the same thing was true for Phygellus and Hermogenes who opposed Apostle Paul, and the same thing is happening in the church today. (Num. 16:1-26; 2 Tim. 1:15)

Korah, Phygellus and Hermogenes are the Jezebelian believers who stood alone in their ministry, as they operated outside of God’s government.

Why did these men stand alone in ministry?

Korah, Phygellus and Hermogenes refused to be cleansed by the sanctified stewardship God sent to them, even as ministers today stand alone in their opinion. They are not building God’s kingdom, but rather building independent ministries, which are unsanctified because they stand outside of God’s covenant. Ministers need to first be cleansed before they can serve the Lord.

Apostle Eric vonAnderseck ministered on X this point, saying, “Before the gospel is preached, ministers need to be cleansed for this service according to the Bible. If the Spirit doesn’t sanctify the knowledge those that hear believe in vain.” (Jn. 15:3; 2 Pet. 2:1)

God is intentional in the way He sets order to His house. Moses is His intentional example to show us How He begins with stewardship to bring unity through covenant knowledge. Moses represented spiritual government in the first covenant. Moses was an individual selected by God to preserve knowledge and sanctify the people.

This is why the Lord spoke to Moses to cleanse the Levites. God’s purpose in cleansing the Levites was to prepare them to serve Him as priests. It was by God’s commandment that the Levites knew that they could not cleanse themselves. There was an act of preparation that God assigned to Moses to perform. Let’s read those scriptures.

Numbers 8:5-7
⁵ And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

⁶ Take the Levites from among the children of Israel, and cleanse them.

⁷ And thus shalt thou do unto them, to cleanse them: Sprinkle water of purifying upon them, and let them shave all their flesh, and let them wash their clothes, and so make themselves clean.

Let’s take that to the new and better covenant we have in Jesus. All believers are called priests because we do priestly service to the Lord through the offering up of spiritual sacrifices of our faith at the altar of Christ. (1 Pet. 2:5, 9)

Just as the Levites needed to be first cleansed by Moses before they could function in their priesthood, so must believers also be first prepared in truth before they can function in their priesthood to serve God through Jesus Christ. Transformation springs up from the seed of truth that is planted in good soil (heart) that has been properly prepared.

Moses was the knowledge steward of the old covenant; apostles are the knowledge stewards of the new covenant.

God’s intentional order flows through a unified stewardship through His apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors, and teachers. In 1 Thessalonians 1:1 we have an example of the elders of God’s government. Apostle Paul, Apostle Silvanus, and Apostle Timothy spoke with one mind and one voice to establish believers in God’s grace and power by connecting them to the covenant of our Lord Jesus Christ.

1 Thessalonians 1:1
Paul, and Silvanus, and Timotheus, unto the church of the Thessalonians which is in God the Father and in the Lord Jesus Christ: Grace be unto you, and peace, from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ.

So also today, God is sending the elders of His restored government to the church to bring the knowledge of their salvation, healing, and deliverance in Jesus Christ. God’s Word in them sets order to Jesus’ covenant to challenge your thinking as He frees the church from generational deception.

God is now giving discernment between the clean and the unclean, between that which is holy and that which is unholy.

If Apostle Paul was preaching today and you walked up to him and said you were a Christian in need of deliverance because you’re not seeing transformation in your life, the first thing he would ask you is if you had entered into a covenant relationship with God. Did you accept the terms of God’s covenant in Jesus? Has the foundation of truth set in your heart by God’s apostles? Are you functioning in your priesthood?

If your answer is like most Christians and ministers today, you’d say…
– what covenant?
– what foundation of truth?
– what stewardship?
– what priesthood?

Hearing this answer, Apostle Paul would know exactly what your problem was and explain why transformation is not possible without Jesus and His covenant and the tokens of His name.

The church has been a long time in a state of limbo, unsure of what transformation is, trying to find God’s power without submission to His stewardship and that’s why God’s call to “come out from among them” speaks of our accountability to the authority He gave to His stewardship and priesthood and the blessing that follows. (2 Cor. 6:17)

Drawing from the Book of the Elders, I want to share a recent divine dream God gave to Prophet Jonathan that confirms the shield of Jesus’ authority placed in apostolic stewardship to restore His church, to save, heal, and deliver you. Read what Prophet Jonathan saw in a divine dream and his instruction that follows.

Prophet Jonathan shares:

In a divine dream the Lord gave me on October 25, 2023 I saw and bore witness to the divine restoration of the church and the sanctified authority of the apostle’s calling to bring order to the church.

In my dream, I replaced two key power switches in a control panel. The ones that were being replaced were so corroded from exposure to time and the elements of nature, the metal had swollen up. There was no possible way for the switch to be activated, it had to be replaced.

As I admired the restoration to an operational state of being, and was double checking that all the elements were in place and properly installed, a police shield was presented. Along the top “JESUS CHRIST” was written, along the bottom “RESTORATION” was written. In the middle was beautifully designed seal. That was the end of the dream.

The meaning of the dream is clear. God is unlocking His order for His church.

The two key power switches are stewardship and priesthood. The corroded and unusable condition of the switches is due to the effect of Satan’s work, which opposes God’s plan to form Christ in us.

The badge that bears the name of Jesus Christ, bears the seal of His approval and the authority to speak and work on His behalf for the singular purpose of restoring the soul to God’s purpose and plan in Christ.

The skillful work of my hands confirms the work of God’s restored government, tethering the people to His power for reciprocation.

We were created in the presence of God’s virtue. The soul hungers for the presence of God to partake of His virtue. God’s grace for salvation is calling all people to reciprocate with Him in the covenant of Jesus Christ. This is the environment that God designed for us to increase and abound in His kingdom.

Answering God’s call begins with receiving the foundation of truth that God has restored through His steward, Apostle Eric vonAnderseck.

It’s helpful to think about the foundation of truth of Jesus’ covenant as the parts of an engine. Foundational knowledge teaches us what the parts are, what their function is, and how they all function together. Nothing can be added, nothing can be substituted, and nothing can be removed, it is complete in its original design.

Staying with the analogy of an engine, the assembled parts have no power to function by themselves. Fuel is necessary for the design of it to produce power, which is the purpose of its existence.

The foundation of truth of Jesus’ covenant is the spiritual altar of Christ. When it is correctly assembled according to Christ, faith is prepared to function with the anointing, just like the engine assembly is prepared to function with fuel.

God is the power source of stewardship for our priesthood. God sustains faith with grace, but without the power of the anointing, faith has no mobility. The anointing is the power that sustains the mobility of faith. So then, the power that comes from God is called the anointing.

The anointing empowers faith for us to partake of the experience that God designed, to establish and strengthen us in true hope, peace, and rest for fruit bearing.

Without the anointing there is no experience, no mobility, no fruit – faith is dead. The purpose of the foundation of truth is for the function of our faith; God desires for us to reciprocate with Him.

The anointing is the input power coming through the key switch of stewardship to mobilize faith, for the purpose of output, which is charity. Charity edifies the body of Christ because it bears the testimony of His name. Charity is the evidence of a functioning priesthood.

1 Timothy 1:5
Now the end of the commandment is charity out of a pure heart, and of a good conscience, and of faith unfeigned:

God is the power source of the stewardship and priesthood. The shield of faith that bears the name of Jesus Christ equips us to stand on the battlefield of faith to overcome self, the false knowledge of the world, and Satan’s suggestions.

The two key power switches are stewardship and priesthood.

Moses is an example of one of God’s stewards. Let’s look at how God worked through Moses.

God provided instruction through Moses to know how to build His temple, altar, sanctuary, ark of the covenant, how to offer sacrifices, what sacrifices were acceptable to God, when the sacrifices were to be offered, and much more.

Those who followed God’s steward by building according to the pattern that God revealed, worshiped God according to God’s expectations. From the EVA Terms Glossary on the meaning of “Government”.

“Apostolic Governance is a gift to the church whereby God oversees the care of His people… The government of God is placed upon Jesus’ shoulders in that apostles carry His authority to teach doctrine and instruct the church in the terms of Jesus’ new covenant. In this way, Jesus is the head of the church. To each calling Jesus gives a measure of grace to function in the building up and maintaining of the body of Christ.

The restored government of God works as one to bring God’s people into the boundaries of the covenant (stewardship and priesthood) to take confidence in Jesus’ power to save and mediate His covenant as they find refuge in Him. Government is, therefore, a defense for God’s people, tethering us to a priesthood that is not of this world, and therefore can neither be polluted by the things of this world nor the spirit of this world.”

Apostle Eric vonAnderseck is God’s steward, to whom God has revealed the knowledge by which faith functions according to God’s expectations in Jesus Christ. Apostle Eric is a good and faithful steward who oversees the care and growth of the saints.

As a farmer examines the soil to make sure it is profitable for use and examines the crops for good health, so also is God’s apostolic steward: he has the knowledge to oversee the growth and care of those who are planted in the garden of righteousness.

This is the knowledge that God sanctified for us to know how the spiritual altar of Christ is constructed and how spiritual sacrifices are offered to God. This is the knowledge that the anointing works with for faith to function (priesthood) according to God’s expectations in Jesus Christ. This brings joy to God’s heart and changes ours.

According to God’s command, the priesthood of the covenant of Moses was a physical sacrifice. According to God’s command, the priesthood of Jesus Christ is a spiritual sacrifice.

The priesthood is the output, because it is the function of our faith, the doing of it, our responsibility. This is how we testify of Christ as our Lord and Savior. As I said earlier, without this activity, faith is dead, and there is no fruit in the soul. No divine transformation is taking place.

This activity of priesthood with Jesus Christ brings joy to God’s heart, because it meets His expectation perfectly. And it is God’s joy to reciprocate back to us through Jesus Christ the Door to salvation, and through the Key of stewardship that God has entrusted to oversee the growth and care of His House.
