James 4v1-8 (S8W Ministries Online Assembly)

War takes place in the soul when the principle of man is the tool of expression. For the knowledge, void of Christ, works with that spirit of sedition to resist grace. The common salvation is not this struggle against iniquity, but the common labor of faith by which grace and peace rule in the new man.

Assembly summary by Apostle Andres Rios: Summary

If you’d like to come into covenant with God, you have to begin to seek God. You’re also going to have to put aside the barriers of your former traditions and your mindset. You’re going to have to seek Him with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength if you want to come into covenant with God. His grace will abound towards those who seek Him out of a pure heart. – Apostle Eric vonAnderseck

International Prayer Assembly (IPA) - December 29th, 2012

The power for eternal life is in the incorruptible seed.

Christ remains a mystery to the carnal minded but those who walk after the Spirit are given eyes to behold Him from above.

The fruit of the Spirit springs from no other seed than the record revealed by God through living apostles of Christ.

All those who partake of Christ in truth experience the living and present witness of the Father from above.

As fresh water is necessary for the life of the body, so also must the soul partake daily from the stream of grace from the throne of God.

Truth connects faith to God through Christ. Without truth, no man can know God but from the anointing of truth we have the mind of Christ.

Faith is measured by God according to His Holiness. Therefore must faith abide in Christ to be sustained by the Father.

Blessed are they who stand fast in Christ for they are not ruled by fear and doubt.

Even as armor only protects while being worn, so does truth protect and preserve when used for faith in Christ.

Even as a wild horse must be tamed within the confines of a corral, so must Adam learn obedience within the boundaries of the covenant knowledge of Christ.

Faith is found pleasing in the sight of God when tethered to Christ through His Spirit.

Seek not your own pleasure before seeking to fulfill the pleasure of God through faith in Christ.

Perfect Faith: Free from Sin

Faith must be without sin and free from the contamination of false knowledge. Faith must be perfect for God measures faith against His standard who is Christ.

As Jesus was recorded teaching His apostles, “Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.” (Matthew 5:48)

God took the form of flesh in the person of Jesus to set the record for the faith our faith to follow. Jesus shed His blood on the cross to purchase a new and better covenant with new and better promises. His blood purchased this covenant and His blood sanctifies His knowledge and the tools of His new priesthood. Apostle Paul expounds on all of this in the book of Hebrews. The doctrine of Christ, which we preach, makes known the commandments of His new covenant which He gives to His apostles to give to the church. You can see this in the first two chapters of the book of Acts.

John 5:14 Afterward Jesus findeth him in the temple, and said unto him, Behold, thou art made whole: sin no more, lest a worse thing come unto thee.

John 8:11 She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more.

Romans 8:2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.

God's Unmerited Favor

Many teach that the definition of grace is: God's unmerited favor. 

We teach that this simple definition falls short of the full understanding of grace taught by apostles of Christ and confirmed by all inspired writings. Falling short means incomplete, not entirely wrong… but only a bit of truth which allows the imagination to run with it as the heart desires. Truth sets that unsanctified behavior in check by setting restrictions on each of the 12 elements of the gospel of Christ (grace being the first.)

Apostles Today

While some people say that the doctrine we teach does not support the inspired scriptures, this is not true. The apostles doctrine does not support private interpretation of the scriptures inspired by God. The doctrine which we teach is also inspired by God and revealed by the same spirit of grace as with the apostles of the first 8th week during the 1st century.

Truth cannot be found. It cannot be gleaned from scriptures. It must be revealed by the Spirit of grace. This is why the apostles wrote concerning the mystery of Christ.

Ephesians 3:2-4
2 If ye have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God which is given me to you-ward:
3 How that by revelation he made known unto me the mystery; (as I wrote afore in few words,9
4 Whereby, when ye read, ye may understand my knowledge in the mystery of Christ)

God has always revealed truth to apostles by the measure of grace provided for that calling so that they can function in that office and calling of God’s election.

Christ is Truth and we serve Him as servant stewards of His holy ordered knowledge as He wills. The doctrine that we teach is not ours but His that sends us.

James 3v13-18 (S8W Ministries Online Assembly)

With patient endurance the just walk to the temple of Lord reflecting upon His ways and rejoicing in the testimony of the Lord. For by these things the heart seeks to know Him and withholds any counsel that offends to be ready to hear His grace.

Three Types of Grace from God

There are three types of grace issued from above for faith in Christ. 

The first is grace for salvation is poured out to those who are unconverted. 

This includes those who are seeking Him but have not yet received the baptism of the holy Spirit with tongues and instruction in His way of righteousness through living apostles. 

This also includes those who have received the baptism of the Spirit with tongues but have not yet received the foundation of truth. As Jesus said to Peter, AFTER you are converted, strengthen the brethren (Luke 22:32)

This leads us to the 2nd type of grace which is grace for growth. God issues grace for growth to those who are resourcing His holy ordered knowledge and the sanctified spiritual tools to increase the substance of His kingdom and glory. (1 Peter 2:9, 2 Peter 3:18) 

The 3rd type of grace is grace for calling which God issues to those who have experience with the anointing of truth and are overcoming and have had their calling revealed by God and confirmed by the chief elders. (Ephesians 3:2-4)

The 12 Elements of the Gospel are: Grace and Faith, Righteousness and Justification, Sanctification and Holiness, Peace and Rest, Truth and Charity, Regeneration and Renewing of the Mind: http://www.s8wministries.org/course.php?id=13

Peace with God

Faith in Christ is enmity with Man. As Jesus testified:

Matthew 10:34-36

34 Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.

35 For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.

36 And a man's foes shall be they of his own household.

When we're talking about the world, we're talking about a system. We're talking about the philosophies embraced by the world and the tools they use for pursuing increase in the substance of that system. God has authorized the system of the world but has not sanctified it for faith. 

The beasts of the field live by instinct to adapt to the environment they find themselves in but by faith in Christ, we are made able to stand upright and enter into a new environment provided by God for faith in Christ. 

This new environment is also a system with knowledge and tools provided for increasing in the substance of that system but you cannot use both systems for building. If you choose both, you have chosen the world and are at enmity with God. If you choose the authorized and sanctified system provided by God, you will become an offense to those who are building and increasing in the system of the world. Thus, faith in Christ is enmity with Man.

The angels announced peace on earth at the coming of Christ and this will be fulfilled at the beginning of His 1000 year millennial reign... but first the righteous will be taken up by Him and He shall pour out His wrath for 7 years of tribulation. Those who forsake suffering in Christ now shall suffer needlessly without reward.

Christ is the Door of Entrance

While Christ is the door of entrance into God's covenant care, those who choose to exit must do so by opening the window of the imagination.

The grace and truth of God always direct faith into the covenant priesthood of Christ.

What is Covenant?

Reprobate Faith?

Many professing Christ are trying to form a relationship with Him by precept and not faith. When precept replaces grace and truth, faith becomes reprobate.

2 Timothy  3:8   Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the faith.

Seek First His Kingdom and Righteousness

Are you demanding answers to the paradoxes you think you see in Christ? Seek first His kingdom and His righteousness and the cloud of confusion will be cleared.

Effectual Faith in Christ

Through God providing the seed in truth, preparing the soul with grace, and instructing us as priests in gaining access to His Spirit, we know how to benefit from the efficacy of Christ to bring forth an increase of His virtue which is the only commodity valued in His kingdom. Praise God!

1 Peter  1:2 Elect according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, through sanctification of the Spirit, unto obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ: Grace unto you, and peace, be multiplied. 

1 Peter  2:5 Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ. 

1 Peter  2:9 But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light:

Intimidated by Talk of the Covenant and Priesthood of Christ?

While the multitudes and established religious leaders of the world honor the dead with sainthood while reserving the priesthood to the few, God has called us all to be Kings and Priests in Christ.

Revelation 1:6

"And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen."

Thus fulfilling the prophecy of Moses who wrote of the new and better covenant of Christ which was to follow after him:

Numbers 11:29

"And Moses said unto him, Enviest thou for my sake? would God that all the LORD'S people were prophets, and that the LORD would put his spirit upon them!"

And as Apostle Peter wrote:

1 Peter 2:5

"Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ."

The offering up of spiritual sacrifices is the prophecy of which Moses was shown. For by His grace we partake of His holy ordered knowledge and by faith we give expression to Christ through our lips.

As Jesus spoke:

Matthew 12:37

"For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned."

Therefore let your heart be anointed with truth through apostolic instruction that you may serve the Lord with the pure language of faith!

Zephaniah 3:9

"For then will I turn to the people a pure language, that they may all call upon the name of the LORD, to serve Him with one consent."

Promise without Covenant is a Lie

It's not enough to excite hope with a promise. There must also be instruction concerning the covenant priesthood of Christ. There is no effectual working of the Spirit in us apart from sanctified labor of faith at the altar of Christ. 

What is covenant? http://www.s8wministries.org/general.php?id=15

Not the Faith of Your Fathers

The established religious leaders of the first century had the temple, the inspired scriptures, and were faithful to the traditions of their fathers but did not recognize Jesus as Christ. What were they lacking? Faith in God.

John  5:39 Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me.  5:40 And ye will not come to me, that ye might have life.

Faith is drawn by grace and directed by the knowledge of Christ. Trust not in the traditions of your fathers but join your faith to Christ in grace and truth and your faith shall be sustained by Him daily and fail not.

Christ is not to be found in our personal relationships but in the fellowship of the mystery of Christ among the saints

In the system of the world, people choose leaders who they are willing to follow by examining their personalities and attributes (speaking prowess, financial acumen, etc…) They look for qualities which they feel they can see promise in; qualities which they feel will help them achieve those things they aspire to. 

In contrast, God chooses according to His own selection. He chose David who was overlooked even by his own father and raised him up as king while the people had chosen Saul who stood taller than those around him and was preferred by the people over His servant Prophet Samuel. We see this also with God choosing Moses who had a soft voice. The Lord used Him even when Moses contested and asked the Lord to send his brother instead. (1 Samuel 9:1, 10:24, 15:35, 16:11; Exodus 4:10-16)

We see that concerning God’s election for stewardship of His holy knowledge, God is not a respecter of persons but selects according to faith. So also we see that all those of faith follow after Him in recognition of His governance by despising not those whom He has chosen to raise up as stewards of His own house. 

This is a very different system and house than what we see in the chuches today where leaders are elected by screening and evaluation as one would hire a new employee best suited to serve the purposes of the organization. 

We can also see within congregations of the churches today that people are seeking Christ within the relationships that are formed between individuals. This is often the goal of programs and events designed to encourage socialization between members and for the weaving together of lives into a tapestry which they feel brings glory and honor to God because of the purity of their intentions and zeal to please Him. 

When they seek to find Christ or demonstrate Christ within these relationships, they begin to develop a need or dependency upon these relationships to see Christ. This shifts focus from the bonds of charity which lash us to the altar of Christ to the straps of the soil which keep us in bondage to the cares of the world. Apostles of Christ preach of the covenant and priesthood of Christ for it is the spiritual priesthood of Christ which sets the pattern and provides the power for us to experience liberty in Christ. 

Matthew 10:34-39 

34 Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword. 35 For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law. 36 And a man's foes shall be they of his own household. 37 He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me. 38 And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me, is not worthy of me. 39 He that findeth his life shall lose it: and he that loseth his life for my sake shall find it.

Acts 10:1-6 (God manifests His grace in the form of a vision by His Spirit to direct Cornelius and his house to His selected steward.)

1 There was a certain man in Caesarea called Cornelius, a centurion of the band called the Italian band, 

2 A devout man, and one that feared God with all his house, which gave much alms to the people, and prayed to God alway. 

3 He saw in a vision evidently about the ninth hour of the day an angel of God coming in to him, and saying unto him, Cornelius. 

4 And when he looked on him, he was afraid, and said, What is it, Lord? And he said unto him, Thy prayers and thine alms are come up for a memorial before God. 

5 And now send men to Joppa, and call for one Simon, whose surname is Peter: 

6 He lodgeth with one Simon a tanner, whose house is by the sea side: he shall tell thee what thou oughtest to do.


Ephesians 3:8-12
8 Unto me, who am less than the least of all saints, is this grace given, that I should preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ;
9 And to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ:
10 To the intent that now unto the principalities and powers in heavenly places might be known by the church the manifold wisdom of God,
11 According to the eternal purpose which he purposed in Christ Jesus our Lord:
12 In whom we have boldness and access with confidence by the faith of him.

Seek Him where He is to be found.

Miracle of Healing and Renewal

I was reminded a couple of weeks ago, while spending time with family, about traumatic childhood events that once dominated my thinking but hadn't been thought of again since entering into covenant with God eleven years ago.

I hadn't realized the healing He had performed in my heart concerning those experiences until seeing it all play out again in others who had also been through the same.

While the memory of those experiences from my past came back to mind, the power of them to dominate and direct my thoughts and emotions was removed. I was able to consider those events objectively.

This brought to mind Chief Apostle Eric's analogy to the books being removed from the shelves but the cards remaining in the library catalog. The memory is still present but the power is removed from it by His work of purging and healing within the souls of those keeping covenant with Him.

Praise God for His ongoing work of regenerating our souls as we simply labor in faith with His knowledge and tokens from above!

Only Christ Can Save Us From Darkness

Hope does not free us from darkness. God raises up a deliverer to make known His plan which He confirms through His prophets and by grace and faith we hear His voice and follow after Him by the word of His servant steward. Jn 17:20; 1 Cor 4:16, 11:1; Phil 3:17

Faith, hope, and charity.... Hope drawn by grace is hope reflecting the Light of Christ. Therefore Christ is our only hope as He is the Light of this world which stands in darkness apart from His spiritual tether.

Take Nothing from the Enemy

I was reflecting the other day about how we were taught to identify ourselves by our experiences and passions.

But, we know from Chief Apostle Eric's pre-birth testimony, as well as the Lord's testimony concerning Prophet Jeremiah (Jer 1:5), that we were not formed by this world. We were formed by God prior to our entering this world.

The powers of the world corrupted, soiled, and stained that which was ready to receive new experiences. Those thoughts and patterns are not ours. We learned them and thought we needed them to survive but from the foundation of truth taught to us by living apostles of Christ, the Lord is teaching us daily to trust the sufficiency of His grace as we experience His witness from above in confirmation of Christ.

We who keep covenant with Him are safe now in His rest and refuge. He is our true and intended identity. Praise God!

Now is the time for Faith in Christ

I received the word of wisdom "Now is not our time" this morning while reflecting upon Jesus choosing to restrict the powers of His divinity to abide within the restrictions of the plan of God for our redemption. 

Now is not our time meaning that while we were born kings and called priests, now is the time for the testing, cleansing and healing within our hearts. 

Now is the time for His spiritual fruit to be formed within us. 

Now is the time for our spiritual growth as we gain wisdom and understanding from above by shouldering the yoke of Christ and learning of Him by walking in humbled obedience to the voice of God concerning faith in Christ.

Now is not the time for us to rule as kings. Every heir must first be prepared by the due processes determined by God. This due process is the record of Christ which our faith must follow to be made living by the Spirit of God.
