Apostolic Voice of Reformation

Apostolic Seal of Christ

In these end of times God is separating the wheat from the tares. A message from Chief Apostle Dr. Eric vonAnderseck speaking to the church about the importance of understanding stewardship. The Apostolic Seal of Christ is the mark of His excellence, which is the seal of our faith. The sanctification of Christ is in the steward to charge the church to carry the true traditions of Christ and remain within the restrictions of the covenant and to grow in Him by their priesthood. The record which the Father put within Christ is the spiritual key that must be put within your heart and by this knowledge He is your Shepherd. Apart from this key, this knowledge, and this stewardship Jesus is not your Shepherd.

The sign of Christ’s sanctification is a sign that will be spoken against in these end times by those who choose to build faith with the stones of Solomon’s temple, but embraced by those who choose to build faith with the living stones of Christ. The Lord is now reforming man’s thinking and a whole new nation is being born of Him through this stewardship and priesthood. Please be in prayerful consideration of this vital end time prophetic message.

Apostolic Voice of Reformation

The Apostolic Seal of Christ is the mark of His excellence, which is the seal of our faith.

Jesus taught His apostles these things: As my Father has loved Me so have I love you, continue in My love. How was this love to be expressed? Through stewardship and priesthood. As I sanctified you through My word so also you will sanctify these people through the words I have given you.

Your stewardship and priesthood will be denied as they also denied Me. I chose you to the stewardship, I taught you the priesthood. I want you to remain within the restrictions. This will be evil spoken of by those who do not know My Father. They will deny you for if they have loved Me they would loved My Father. My Father put the record within Me so that the record which My Father put within Me I am putting within you. So you are going to relay this message, which I have received, to them.

Now these are the things which will be spoken against: your stewardship and your priesthood. I called you to stewardship. I called you to priesthood. By this which I was sanctified by I am sanctifying you. By this knowledge you will be their Sheppard as I was your Sheppard.

I am the living stone. The carnal will take the knowledge and put it within the physical stone. I’m taking the knowledge and putting it in the living stone. Satan wanted me to turn stone into bread. The carnal minded continue to work with physical things. The spiritually minded work with spiritual things, the true bread of heaven.

I have called you Peter to be a living stone and a royal priesthood, which the carnal minded will deny and fight against and demonize. And some will emulate it. They will take My knowledge and put it into physical things and deny your stewardship and they will speak evil of you and persecute you. But I am taking it from Solomon and putting it within your heart. I’m taking it from Solomon’s temple and putting it within your spiritual temple.

And as they denied Solomon’s stewardship and David’s stewardship and his record they are going to deny your stewardship and your record because I put it in you. They [carnal minded] are always going to fight against the standard which I select and anoint and sanctify. And try to take that same standard and put it within themselves. And that is deceitful lusts. That is a lie. Because he that says he loves Me and hates his brother is a liar.

He is taking My record and putting it within his own perceptions –in his own self and claiming that he loves My Father. But he that hates Me hates My Father and he that loves Me loves My Father. So Jesus was always bringing it right down to the point of stewardship –and [those things that are] spiritual. While the carnal minded will continue to build the temples of Solomon. They want to build on the stones of Solomon. They want to build on the precept of Moses rather than the commandments of Christ. They’re building on Solomon’s stones out of the Old Testament instead of upon spiritual stones –the record of Christ through the stewardship, which God anoints and sanctifies.

So Jesus, saying these things to His apostles was showing that a transition was taking place from the record of His knowledge which He was giving to His apostles. The knowledge of His record, which God sanctified Jesus was putting upon His apostles to carry this tradition, the tradition of the spiritual stones, spiritual priesthood, a holy nation. A whole new people are going to be born of this. Which stewardship and priesthood would be evil spoken against.

Any individual that tries to intrude into the stewardship and priesthood apart from My sanctification, I will put upon him (that individual) the plagues of Uzziah. The plagues of Egypt shall follow them and they are not going to understand why I am plaguing them. And that is because they are intruding into spiritual things without the knowledge of God.
They are going to go from death to death instead of from life to life.

When Peter was speaking about these things he was speaking about himself (1 Peter chapter 2). That which Jesus set within Peter’s calling was as a key. The ripple has a tsunami effect. The ripple will destroy nations. The ripple will turn into the wave and into the tsunami. So Jesus speaking these things to His apostles in John chapter 15-17, that was a ripple that Jesus was setting within His apostles by His sanctification, which would carry with it the power of a tsunami in the lives of those who hear so that those who believe Jesus’ record would believe those whom God calls.

But those who refuse the record of Christ will also deny those whom God selects and sanctifies to carry this tradition and record, which would save those who hear. And that’s what Paul said, “That we would be for salvation unto the ends of the earth.” Jesus died on the cross to give us this message. But people will take offense at it because they want to message but not the stewardship. But the message goes with the stewardship, not apart from it. It always went with the stewardship. And Jesus knew that people would steal the knowledge and resist the stewardship and that’s what Peter was preaching.

The stewardship is part of the building. It is part of the building –not separate from the building. And when people separate the knowledge from the stewardship they incur the wrath of Uzziah. Let’s read about him and see what the Spirit of the Lord is teaching the church today:

2 Chronicles 26:4-21

4 And he did that which was right in the sight of the Lord, according to all that his father Amaziah did.

5 And he sought God in the days of Zechariah, who had understanding in the visions of God: and as long as he sought the Lord, God made him to prosper.

6 And he went forth and warred against the Philistines, and brake down the wall of Gath, and the wall of Jabneh, and the wall of Ashdod, and built cities about Ashdod, and among the Philistines.

7 And God helped him against the Philistines, and against the Arabians that dwelt in Gurbaal, and the Mehunims.

8 And the Ammonites gave gifts to Uzziah: and his name spread abroad even to the entering in of Egypt; for he strengthened himself exceedingly.

9 Moreover Uzziah built towers in Jerusalem at the corner gate, and at the valley gate, and at the turning of the wall, and fortified them.

10 Also he built towers in the desert, and digged many wells: for he had much cattle, both in the low country, and in the plains: husbandmen also, and vine dressers in the mountains, and in Carmel: for he loved husbandry.

11 Moreover Uzziah had an host of fighting men, that went out to war by bands, according to the number of their account by the hand of Jeiel the scribe and Maaseiah the ruler, under the hand of Hananiah, one of the king's captains.

12 The whole number of the chief of the fathers of the mighty men of valour were two thousand and six hundred.

13 And under their hand was an army, three hundred thousand and seven thousand and five hundred, that made war with mighty power, to help the king against the enemy.

14 And Uzziah prepared for them throughout all the host shields, and spears, and helmets, and habergeons, and bows, and slings to cast stones. 15 And he made in Jerusalem engines, invented by cunning men, to be on the towers and upon the bulwarks, to shoot arrows and great stones withal. And his name spread far abroad; for he was marvellously helped, till he was strong.

16 But when he was strong, his heart was lifted up to his destruction: for he transgressed against the Lord his God, and went into the temple of the Lord to burn incense upon the altar of incense.

17 And Azariah the priest went in after him, and with him fourscore priests of the Lord, that were valiant men:

18 And they withstood Uzziah the king, and said unto him, It appertaineth not unto thee, Uzziah, to burn incense unto the Lord, but to the priests the sons of Aaron, that are consecrated to burn incense: go out of the sanctuary; for thou hast trespassed; neither shall it be for thine honour from the Lord God.

19 Then Uzziah was wroth, and had a censer in his hand to burn incense: and while he was wroth with the priests, the LEPROSY even rose up in his forehead before the priests in the house of the Lord, from beside the incense altar.

20 And Azariah the chief priest, and all the priests, looked upon him, and, behold, he was leprous in his forehead, and they thrust him out from thence; yea, himself hasted also to go out, because the Lord had smitten him.

21 And Uzziah the king was a leper unto the day of his death, and dwelt in a several house, being a leper; for he was cut off from the house of the Lord.

Uzziah did that which was right in the sight of the Lord. God used him to subdue the enemies of Israel. He had 2,600 career soldier under his direct command and 307, 500 soldiers under them. He ran a top notch military school that churned out the best of the best. He was valiant in the Lord and tore down many strongholds of the enemy.

His battle successes won him fame, honor, and gifts. The name of King Uzziah was the praise of Egypt. With his gifts he expanded his empire and built cities and fortified his garrisons in the desert. He made the wilderness to bloom, he had cattle ranches and vineyards and increased much. For as the Bible says, “. . .he was marvelously helped, till he was strong.”

How does a man go from living on the top with the honor and praise of man to running out of the house of the Lord as a fugitive, white with leprosy? In a word, it was his pride. For “when he was strong, his heart was lifted up to his destruction.”

What did he do that turned fame and glory into humiliation and embarrassment? The king was of Judah and not Levi. He decided that he would go into the temple of the Lord and burn incense upon the altar of incense simply because he thought he was qualified to do so.

However, he was not qualified. God qualified the tribe of Levi to function at the altar and Uzziah had overstepped what God had given him and trespassed into another’s calling. When Uzziah ventured into an area that was not assigned to him by God the temple priests went in after him with 80 armed temple guards. They argued with him saying, “It appertains not unto you, Uzziah, to burn incense unto the Lord, but to the priests the sons of Aaron, that are consecrated to burn incense.” They demanded, “Go out of the sanctuary; for you have trespassed; neither shall it be for your honor from the Lord God.”

Uzziah responded in a rage and with an censor in his hand he began to shout and argue against the priests his rights to be there and his right to burn incense and his right to do as he pleased. But the Bible says that while he spoke God struck him with leprosy, which suddenly appeared in his forehead. Azariah the chief priests and the temple guard instantly grabbed the king to drag him out of the temple for the king held the censor of the Lord as a priest and no leprous priest was allowed in the courts of the Lord. The king himself fled out the house of the Lord in great shame.

The same God who upheld the king in battle, saw him through to glory, and stood with him in all his building programs put a mark of leprosy upon him, which was a visible token of his transgression. Faith pleases God because it follows the due order He established and when the king decided he was qualifying himself for something God had not qualified him for he was not only trespassing the boundaries God set for faith, but transgressing against the Lord. By the sign of leprosy the Spirit of the Lord was saying that he had defiled faith by qualifying himself to step into the stewardship assigned to the priests.

Don't be a Uzziah

Many ministers today are as King Uzziah. They built mega churches, they fought many battles and the Lord gave them many victories. Some overcame a drug habit, some overcome an abusive past, some came out of poverty, some started with a congregation of 9 and built that up to a congregation of 9,000. Many ministers came into fame and many gifts were given to them.

Now, as God is setting in order the church and assigned a steward to lead the church into the transition, many feel as if they can overstep what God has assigned to them and just walk into this stewardship as they walked into everything else. Many are trying to qualify themselves to stand in the place of the steward based on what God had done for them in the past.

The unsanctified stewardship seeks a word of God to own knowledge by:
1. Establishing their own vision as Jezebel wife of King Ahab.
2. Owning their own ministry as Jeroboam the son of Nebat.
3. Seeking personal direction to add authority to the principle as King Saul.
4. Using their calling to overstep the boundaries as King Uzziah.
5. Testifying of revelation from God, but bending the rebuke into an opportunity to enrich themselves as Balaam.
6. Using position to compete in emulation and variance as Cain against Abel.

These examples warn us that God selects and prepares the stewardship of His choice but carnal minded rulers, princes, priests, judges, and prophets seek the power of ownership to control to enrich themselves.

The Word of the Lord

The word of the Lord is this: “When people separate the knowledge from the stewardship they incur the wrath of Uzziah.” The Lord is speaking of the sign that He set in Uzziah for this generation to observe. The wrath of Uzziah was kindled against the priests who refused his qualifications. God’s wrath and sign of leprosy was in reciprocation to Uzziah’s wrath. His pride stood as the voice of reason in place of faith and his intrusion was rightly called a transgression.

Are You at the Cross Roads Today?

The church is at the same cross roads today as God now sends His steward whom He has chosen and prepared into the church to transition her back to Jesus Christ. This cross road is the time of temptation for the church as many try to qualify themselves. For this the plagues of ignorance is already visibly seen upon the church. Christians are confounded, confused, wandering in the wilderness, suffering dry well and breakthroughs is always what they are looking for.

But when you build with the stewardship then you are in the house of God. And this is what Peter was talking about in his epistle, a spiritual priesthood a new people –a whole nation is birthed through the stewardship. So Jesus, in John chapter 15-17 was showing the transition from Himself to His apostles to the church. As apostle John also wrote in the book of Revelation: from the throne to the stewardship and the priesthood to the church.
