Dear Brethren,

I would like to share with you this word of knowledge I received during prayer this morning:

November 20, 2010
Around 6:59 am during prayer:

Word of Knowledge: Resurgence (n)

Resurgent (adj): rising or tending to rise again; reviving; renascent. (Dictionary.com)

Main word: Surge.

Resurge: to rise again as from desuetude [the state of being no longer used or practiced.] or to rise again as from virtual [having the essence or effect but not the appearance or form of] extinction [ no longer in existence, use, obsolete].

I found the origin of this word noted to be interesting:
1565–75; < L resurgere to rise again, appear again, equiv. to re- re- + surgere to lift up, raise, var. of surrigere ( sur- sur-2 + -rigere, comb. form of regere to direct, rule)

When this word of knowledge came to me during prayer I was reflecting on God's chosen steward of the Second 8th Week; Chief Apostle Eric vonAnderseck and his position. It was then that I was reminded of Chief Teacher Maria's vision posted in the forum topic "The Government is on His Shoulders," on January 10, 2010 and also how God is restoring His Apostolic Governance back to the church that she may return to her first love through obedience of faith in accordance to the terms of His second covenant being revealed through His chosen steward.

"The Government is on His Shoulders" by Chief Teacher Maria: [http://s8wstudentresources.com/?q=node/3068]

I had a vision while in prayer. I saw Apostle Eric in a large ocean of water up to his neck and he was preaching. I thought to myself, “How can he preach like that, treading water?” And suddenly he surged up and forward and I could see that he really was not treading water, but sitting upon the massive shoulders of the Son of God! Jesus rose up out of the water like a huge giant, and as He rose so did Eric. Jesus’ hair was long and brown and He had a full beard. His robe was white; and as I looked upon Him I had the feeling that a massive power was rising.

Interpretation: The Bible says that the government sits upon Jesus’ shoulders (Is.9:6). This confirms Apostolic Governance and where God has placed Apostle Eric. Jesus is the government of God, but He has placed the earthy responsibility of it to a living steward who can direct the church according to the mind of God.

The waters represent the sea of humanity to which Apostle Eric was preaching. The fact that Jesus was under the water speaks of Him being hidden from view. When people hear Apostle Eric preaching they just see and hear a man, not realizing that he is sitting upon the shoulders of our Lord and the God is carrying Him.
When Jesus rose up out of the water and moved forward, I was reminded of the words that are now coming about the “mobilization” of the church, “acceleration”, and “coming forward”.

________________________________________________________

Just as I was including this excerpt to my post I noticed also that Chief Teacher Maria used the word "surge," and I am thanking God for His consistency and how those in His House speak the same thing because they are embracing the same knowledge; the knowledge of Jesus Christ.

Nonetheless before finding the Chief Teacher Maria's post "The Government is on His shoulders," I also came across her forum topic entitled "Mobilization," posted December 27, 2009 [http://s8wstudentresources.com/?q=node/2968] and would like to share an excerpt from that posting, where she states in regards to the 2 visions being addressed therein:

________________________________________________________

"This act symbolizes the return of Apostolic Governance to the church in this time and how this restored gospel of Jesus Christ will be preached through the whole world. Those who receive the word of His grace will be clothed in the robes of Christ’s righteousness and be taken in the rapture. Those who refuse His stewardship of this time refuse Jesus’ headship, proving they are not in step with the Spirit and do not love God, for they refuse His commandment. These will be left behind, proving that they were the tares and not the wheat. Strong is His grace for salvation upon all those who hear. For God is not willing that any perish but that all come to repentance of life."

________________________________________________________

I found it interesting and also encouraging the connection between God's chosen steward, His Apostolic Governance and Mobilization. "Resurgence," confirms God's active involvement in the lives of His people today through His Apostolic Governance and why He has raised up a steward at this time that we understand these connection for function. As we know that apart from His grace our faith is dead and even though one may profess to be wheat he or she is indeed is a tare when withstanding His Government for in withstanding His government one resist the truth by which direction is given for our faith which the Spirit makes living confirming Christ in our faith.

"Those who withstand the government of God; withstand Christ and therefore reject their eternal inheritance listening to Satan's council."

I was also reminded of 2 Timothy 3:5,8,9 when reflecting on the definition of resurge in light of God's knowledge:

2 Timothy 3:5,8,9 - Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof...8. Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses [Government], so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the faith. 9. But they shall proceed no further: for their folly shall be manifest unto all men, as theirs also was.

Here I was reminded that those who withstand God's government may indeed have a "form" of godliness but they deny the power thereof. That the people can only stand in God's Holiness; His power; bearing the fruit of His righteousness; glorifying His kingdom when they embrace the knowledge coming through the steward of His choosing otherwise it is not God's word at all but a lie. Nevertheless, that the body of Christ may discern the difference between God's Apostles and those who have chosen themselves or have severed themselves from His Government being void of His power.

"God is restoring His Apostolic Governance back to the church that the church can cease having a form of fruitfulness and actually be fruitful through the works of His Covenant."

I spent a few hours in prayer between 2AM and 4 AM and received these revelation:

3:09 “Ancestral knowledge: That which is fading and ready to pass away.” Here I reflected on the overspreading of Satan’s knowledge over the whole world and how it was sown within the soil of each heart and how each generation kept the vine growing and spreading. The prejudice of the heart works with the knowledge mankind inherited from Satan. It is not our true history. And in this hour, as God brings forth His mighty troop, this knowledge is ready to fad and pass away. Praise God!

3:15 I experienced a tremendous peace and thanked the Lord for the prayers of the saints.

3:24 I again experienced a tremendous peace that was quite physical and again thanked the Lord for the prayers of the saints.

3:50 I saw an ordinary tree with green leaves. The thing that was extraordinary was that on one branch hung a beautiful sapphire blue necklace studded with precious gems. I was stunned with the beauty and the edification upon reflection that as fruit beautifies a tree, and a necklace is worn to beautify the body, so also does the fruit of Christ beautify the soul. We can see what God is emphasizing and bringing to our attention and how joyous it makes us to labor in prayer and sacrifices. His virtues increase the soul in His likeness.

I was then in my second prayer for the day between 9:30 and 10:45 and received these manifestations:

9:32 “We are as FIRST AID for the Body. The Body must be healed.”

10:13 As I was praying I suddenly saw Prophet Lucinda’s face. She was wearing matching earrings and necklace. What was edifying was that each earring was a loop of silver and inside the loop was a cross. The necklace had several of these loops across her chest.

I thought, “How wonderful is this!” The loop represents the unity of Christ by wholesome doctrine that enters into the ears. The cross represents the covenant. The two ears represents the equity we receive in Christ. The necklace represents: That what is placed in the heart reflects that which is heard. Praise God!

10:20 As I continued to pray I saw David T. He passed through our living room carrying an S8W banner. I reflected with joy how the saints are increasing in growth because of their labor with truth during this time of consecration. Those who carry the banner of Christ are made ready and worthy soldiers of our Lord!

10:43 I saw Apostle Eric in a large ocean of water up to his neck and he was preaching. I thought to myself, “How can he preach like that, treading water?” And suddenly he surged up and forward and. . . (to read more read the post above titled “The Government is on His Shoulders”.

10:35 I had a sudden pain in both my ears but especially my left ear. The pain went down into my neck. I began to pray for those whose ears were clogged spiritually and could not hear God’s truth, that God would open their ears. I also prayed for any of the saints who were in need of healing. The pain then left as suddenly as it came.

Thank God for the Lord's care for His church!

"The anointing opens our understanding to assist us to build the kingdom of God. This power has an effect: our mind is renewed by these commandments of peace."

Dear bretheren,

I would like to share a dream I had last night. I dreamed a black ball was rolling across the surface of a floor.

This dream speaks of the mobility of the Church in the mystery of Christ (the ball being black symbolises the mystery of Christ).

Reflecting upon this further we can see the value of apostles in the Church today who are the stewards of the mystery of Christ which have to do with the understanding of how to work with God in our salvation (that which is hidden in Christ is a mystery to the world).

The apostles office also instruct the other offices in Government so that the prophets confirm the covenant; evangelists bring this knowledge to the lost for repentance, pastors oversee the covenant in the heart of the believers, and teachers keep the saints in mind of the mystery and of their hope.

Here we see how the apostles office "gets the ball rolling" by the apostles grace to set the blueprint of truth as a foundation in the hearts of believers for each to build upon.

Once believers have the "crown of understanding" (w/k 9 Jan 2010) in the role they play as a member in the Church, then the whole Body can move as one entity and an unstoppable force for the empowerment of the Spirit rests upon Government and Truth and works with those who keep the chain of the 3-fold cord.

"Government, Truth and Spirit is the chain of equity whereby the Church gains mobility from the supply of grace and truth."

Yours in Christ,
