God's Intelligent Design for Christ-Centered Spiritual Transformation: Faith Crisis

By Eric vonAnderseck

When the Holy Spirit directed me to write this thesis it was after God had implemented the changes and corrections for the church and believers began to benefit fully from the transition. I hope you will be blessed by the many wonderful testimonies throughout.

The apostolic thesis is the first of its kind. Not only does the Holy Spirit explain faith crisis and spiritual exploitation, but also uncovers the underlying root causes. God is addressing a faith in crisis, a spiritual government in crisis, and belief systems that He did not authorize or sanctify in the name of Jesus Christ.

The church had suffered under the hands of many spiritual butchers, slicing and dicing faith this way and that. Each area of spiritual exploitation has had a catastrophic and blinding influence on all facets of Christian life.

Believers were led into a very confusing era. Ministers were constantly rehashing faith programs as they sorted out their own failings, reducing covenant to a psychology. Ideas were tabled as quickly as they were introduced.

Thankfully, the church has now entered into a new apostolic era. God has restored His true culture of faith and heritage to the church, helping believers understand once again the apostolic authority, calling, and anointing.

Eric vonAnderseck

Eric vonAnderseck ministers extensively nationally and internationally. He is the pioneer of the new apostolic age and recognized as the leading authority on the apostolic calling and anointing. He is the leading voice and spearhead in the restoration of the church to the New Covenant for which Jesus shed His blood. For decades believers have cried out to God saying, Where is your power? Why am I weak in the faith, confused, and frustrated? I wander from ministry to ministry and I’m still empty, dry, and wounded inside. Where are you, God? As the swell of these voices continued to increase, churches began to empty at an alarming rate. A huge wave of discontent had crashed upon the shores of the church and in its wake, ministers began to awaken to God’s correction. It is in this spiritual climate that God sent an apostle to restore the church. Apostle Eric is the first to publish his apostolic thesis. God has used him to restore to the church the foundation of truth, the terms and tools of the New Covenant, and the priesthood of Jesus Christ. He is a prolific author on spiritual growth, foundation building, spiritual gifts, and spiritual warfare.

DEDICATION

I wish to dedicate my thesis to the Church, the Body of Christ, with a prayer for strength to fulfill the words of Jesus spoken to me in 1982:

There shall be a unity that is not feigned and a oneness that is not deceitful.

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

I would like to acknowledge with much appreciation the tireless assistance of my wife, Maria vonAnderseck, who has worked with me to organize my notes, lectures, and charts for this thesis.

ABSTRACT

Spiritual transformation can be studied from multiple points of view. However, the primary problem for Christians is identifying spiritual transformation that comes through Jesus Christ and to fully integrate that experience into a Christian life of faith with ongoing concrete, material experiences.

Shortcut theology has produced short-term experiences that are embedded with paradoxes that impinge upon true spiritual transformation resulting in faith crisis. One cannot study spiritual transformation without also studying faith crisis. Faith crisis depicts spiritual transformation failures.

I do not believe that God created a faith model that produces faith crisis. I believe in God’s Intelligent Design for Christ-Centered Spiritual Transformation® (IDCCST®). God designed a perfect model in Christ whereby each believer could experience the divine transformation of their soul whereby the virtues of Christ are born in the heart.

My research suggests that when faith practitioners and faith participants ignore that design or introduce elements to faith that are not part of that design, the Exigent Faith emerges with identifiable symptoms, behaviors, and predictable fallout.

I intend to answer such questions, such as the following: Is the Exigent Faith transdenominational? Can the root causes for Exigent Faith be fully explored and traced through Cause and Effect Mapping? How problematic are quick fixes that temporarily mitigate the aggravating factors of Exigent Faith symptoms and behaviors? How do the low returns on faith programs perpetuate spiritual and religious problems for faith participants?

The goal of my research into the Exigent Faith is to provide a root cause analysis study that would (1) allow leadership to observe the symptoms and behaviors of the Exigent Faith; (2) educate the faith community as to their vulnerabilities to the Exigent Faith, enumerating direct impact on users; (3) provide methods that would prevent perpetuating the Exigent Faith; and (4) provide the ontology of cognitive and systemic faith processes that produce Christ-Centered Spiritual Transformation.

I am establishing Intelligent Design in God’s Spiritual Ecosystem and intend to answer such questions that relate to IDCCST, such as the following: How are knowledge spheres transformed into integrated experiences? What is the inertia rich environment required for spiritual transformation and how do those dynamics play out upon the soul? How is veracity measured in light of its power? What is Half-Life and how does it exhibit titration into God’s truth? What is the dynamic behavior of the knowledge and tools of the Second Covenant upon the soul for Spiritual Conjugation?

What questions do we need to ask about design, structure, and function to understand God’s design for spiritual transformation? Can multiple cultures experience the same spiritual transformation processes and still retain their ethnicity? I intend to challenge the nature of Systematic, Adaptive, Subjective Theology, and its transference limitations.

This thesis is written after twenty-eight years of independent, empirical research, development, and application in the field of Experiential, Systemic, Selective Theology. My efficacy studies show that substantial and positive mental health and spiritual wellness are achieved when theology is transformed into an accessible, equitable knowledge base that is integrated with the spiritual tools that God designed to facilitate spiritual transformation. The results are tangible, transferable, sustainable, and perform positively in culturally diverse populations.

I have also developed the vonAnderseck Assessment Scale (VAS) as a concise means of measuring doctrine and discipline against primary and secondary factors to determine where the Exigent Faith lies and how to assist those in faith crisis to make choices that will enhance their Christian experience rather than destroy it. Multi-scale analysis is used to approach and evaluate spiritual transformation protocols.

Each scale uniquely allows investigators and educators to approach the information they intend to evaluate within relevant context to measure successes against a proven system; measuring spiritual yield by plotting the results against the benchmarks. Because ministers use Further Generation Knowledge (FGK²) as opposed to First Generation Knowledge (FGK¹), I will do a composite study on the merits of both and present the risk factors associated with FGK².

CHAPTER ONE

Evidence Base and Methodology

My research is based on the calling of God upon my life into the office of apostle of Jesus Christ, twenty-eight years epiphanic studies generated by seminal First Generation Knowledge (FGK¹), and spiritual transformation evidence gathered from qualitative studies supported by program design and application.

I have found that there is a predictable pattern for Christ-Centered Spiritual Transformation that behaves consistently across religious and cultural boundaries to assist believers to connect with God, overcome obstacles of faith crisis, and achieve their spiritual goals 100% percent of the time. I also conducted research into Further Generation Knowledge (FGK²) to track Exigent Faith symptoms and behaviors for the purpose of finding the root cause of faith crisis that impedes spiritual transformation.

I investigated transdenominational discipleship programs, surveying Christians from thirty-six different denominational and nondenominational backgrounds who also supplemented their Christianity with 123 different ministers, authors, speakers, and televangelists. I found that program application across denomination lines and across ministry lines consistently carried Exigent Faith symptoms and behaviors that were tied to FGK². I asked questions about program promises and outcome, the ease or difficulty of program language, program sustainability, and program maturation.

I developed Cause and Effect Mapping as a critical component of the VAS to assist faith practitioners and faith participants to identify the precursors to faith crisis, thus providing insight into failed faith models. I intend to use multi-scale analysis to plot the Exigent Faith against a stable faith to demonstrate where the negative data points and paradoxes exist. Once the paradoxes are in full view we can then see the psychological effects of faith crisis upon the soul and spirit.

I do not believe that God intended for humanity to suffer in ignorance of their redemption under the weight of frustration, guilt, shame, remorse, and confusion. I intend to prove that these negative outcomes of faith do not exist when the protocols for spiritual transformation are in place and intend to prove that through Choice Education and implementation of cognitive faith processes, faith participants can reach their spiritual transformation goals. I believe that faith participants deserve a faith model that is void of paradoxes and delivers 100 percent of the benefits of faith in Jesus Christ 100 percent of the time.

Verification System

Verification of spiritual transformation cannot be set in single incidents of subjective experiences. Rather, verification must be set within a system. Truth evaluates to the system that produced it. Therefore we are verifying and authenticating the system as well as the experience it birthed. When observation of spiritual transformation comes in single incidents rather than successive incidents, the experience is being assessed outside of the context of the system that produced it.

Knowledge experts then speak of the experience, but not the system that produced the experience. A single experience of spiritual transformation can be assessed within the immediate environment and tools that induced the experience, but not understood within relevant context of the soul, the will, the conscience, and the kingdom that produced it.

There are essential features that must be present for designed transformation to take place. There are specific components, if titrated into the system, that change the dynamics of the system. When this happens people complain about faith crisis. They still profess experiences, but the experiences are accompanied with paradoxes.

My twenty-eight years of experience with God’s design for Christ-Centered Spiritual Transformation is supported by my own personal spiritual vitae, which includes over three thousand recorded dreams and over six thousand recorded spiritual experiences that are tied to a system that has consistently proven spiritual transformation against Exigent Faith symptoms and behaviors.

EVA Law of Veracity

Veracity is measured in light of its power. In other words, the value of a truth is measured in light of its power against faith crisis. If the laws of a system have no power upon faith crisis other than to perpetuate it, then Choice Education dictates that that the knowledge spheres of that system are modeling the secondary stem rather than the primary stem.

Veracity is also measured in light of its power to perpetuate a continual cycle of unbroken spiritual transformation that is causally linked to proven methodology. The system that perpetuates this cycle, will thus also remove Exigent Faith symptoms and behaviors and the resulting paradoxes from faith.

I am also introducing the EVA Law of Principle that states that the principle that is left to the will empowers the will. Knowledge spheres that are self-referencing carry the principles of Themistic Law, which empower the will to address the themes and issues of life for deconstruction of negative data points and efforts toward reparation.

When these themes and issues are plotted against Half-Life and other Exigent Faith symptoms and behaviors, we can assess the principle that was left to the will as insufficient to bring consistent spiritual transformation. When the soul tries to find completion through Themistic Law, it gives witness to a lesser substance than God, which does not carry the power of God.

The soul suffers because the witness falls short of expectation, truth brings conviction to the conscience, the imagination is violated, and guilt, shame, and remorse follow. To deal with this inequity, faith participants again turn to Themistic Law to garner principles that are used as a pattern of good works to shield the conscience. The will was not created as a power against the Variable and cannot sustain deconstruction efforts, nor carry the virtue of Christ to completion.

The power of Christ in his knowledge and in his tools empowers the will to exercise faith with the contact point. The soul then experiences the tangible substance of Christ on a daily basis in the absence of Exigent Faith symptoms and behaviors. The principle that is left to the will empowers the will.

EVA Law of the Conscience

I am introducing the EVA Law of the Conscience, which states that the conscience bears witness to the power that rules the soul. When the soul is ruled by the Law of Grace and Truth, the conscience bears witness to the virtues of Christ, which bring the soul into liberty. When the soul is ruled by the law of sin and death, the conscience bears witness to the virtues that bring the soul into bondage. Whatever rules the soul rules the conscience. The conscience accepts the witness the soul receives.

EVA Law of Reciprocation

I am introducing the EVA Law of Reciprocation. Reciprocation follows a design structure that must be in kind. This refers to the powers of God to evaluate all tools of the Second Covenant to himself and to draw a response from the soul that follows the pattern he set in Jesus Christ for increase. We can only reciprocate God’s likeness with his likeness. God initiates toward us in grace and we respond in faith; God initiates toward us in sanctification and we respond in holiness. The elements of grace and sanctification set the grounds for our faith and holiness. That which the Spirit has sanctified is acceptable for reciprocation.

Humanity is constantly looking for a source that will again enable the image of God and return the soul to its original design and power. Concepts such as forgiveness, love, hope, humility, gratitude, self-control, and wisdom are within each culture and religion because intuitively humanity knows that these attributes are part of the original design of the soul.

The law of right and wrong needs a power to form conviction. The conscience needs to follow a record. Throughout history people have tried to frame a form of knowledge that the conscience could use for conviction toward good that would in turn help them to do right.

This is why people can do right by using any religious model to guide their conscience or by using the principles presented by any motivational speaker. Businesses develop moral and ethical codes to guide the behavior of their employees and Christians find a guide for moral behavior in the pages of the Bible. In either case, a form of knowledge set the path for behavior according to conviction.

The conscience therefore works with the knowledge at hand allowing a person to mold a perspective for right and wrong. Thus, we understand the subjectivity of truth to its receiver. Whatever the individual chooses as a form of correctness in turn settles the conscience, which in turn is verified as truth for that person.

An aspiration and principle works with the knowledge and the conviction in hope that the soul will increase with the conviction, to carry the soul to completion for increase. In expressing a knowledge that is agreeable to the conscience, people will champion their truth or philosophy or religion to either accuse or excuse one another. Romans 2:15, Which shew the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and their thoughts the mean while accusing or else excusing one another.

The conviction of truth upon the conscience for faith in Jesus Christ follows another law—the Law of Grace and Truth, which brings the soul into equity with God, following the Record of Christ. When the conscience accepts a moral code from the Bible or any other source, yet the truth of Christ is not set within the heart for faith and the heart is not sealed in righteousness, truth will prick the conscience giving witness that the conviction that the soul has chosen does not carry the virtues of Christ and therefore still struggles with sin. Truth bears witness to the framework of Christ which carries the virtues of Christ.

The conscience void of this virtue will struggle with truth, thus demonstrating that the conviction of good was not born of righteousness and faith is absent. These things are evident in themselves. While science presents the evidence of truth that is sympathetic to its own system, God presents the evidence of truth that is sympathetic to his own system.

While science seeks to justify its claims with its own evidence, God justifies himself with his own evidence. While science identifies the physiology of truth by neurological responses to knowledge spheres, God identifies the physiology of truth by the phenomena characteristic of the living Christ, his knowledge, his power and virtue, and the vital processes of transferring his life to the soul.

CHAPTER TWO

Identifying the Problem

The Exigent Faith speaks of Religious and Spiritual Problems, knowledge deficit, and diagnostic application failure. The APA introduced a new diagnostic category called Religious or Spiritual Problem (Code V62.89) in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual-Fourth Edition (APA, 1994). 85 percent of Americans consider themselves Christian, yet the majority is not able to understand or achieve spiritual transformation through Jesus Christ.

At the core of the problem is a lack of understanding human origin, purpose of life, and eternal destiny. Coupled with that lack of knowledge are the many prohibitive factors that are present in faith models that remove the God-indigenous patterns, functions, and triggers from Christian faith. We see prolific evidences of Spiritual Displacement Anxiety, Low-End Spiritual Yield, as well as Spiritual Dissipation.

Despite the judicious oversight of clergy, we see men and women of spirituality undereducated, and not receiving fundamental spiritual enabling skills, and thus, continue to experience profound separation anxiety, confusion, consternation, and frustration related to issues of faith and self-transcendence. Research is profitable if it leads to an equitable program that meets the needs of the people.

My research concludes that faith practitioners, although recognizing that the Exigent Faith existed, could not identify its powers and therefore could not find remedy for the many paradoxes, nor return faith to the virtues of Jesus Christ.

My research further concludes that on account of this inability, another role was generated for doctrine and discipline, that of mitigating paradoxes. In providing doctrine and discipline that mitigates paradoxes, the Exigent Faith provider was also creating another role for Christians, one of seeking for truth, seeking for purpose while coping with paradox outcomes. One who seeks truth is not abiding in it.

That has its own dynamics and downside. One who is seeking for purpose does not understand the design of God’s plan. That too has its own dynamics and downside. The soul was not designed for these dynamics, and Christians took on another role, that of mitigating the aggravating factors that these dynamics left upon the soul.

My research has further uncovered many Journeying Masks that were born of these endeavors to cope with the aggravating factors upon the soul. Although each Journey Mask was given proper justification, credibility, and honor through scriptural referencing and touched the common emotional fibers of humanity, the Half-Life associated with this Mitigating Tool is prohibitive.

Instead of enjoying spiritual transformation through Jesus Christ, believers are still looking for it. They are further burdened by the use of spiritual coping mechanisms, which provide short-term experience that simply allows them to cope with the paradox, but does not bring spiritual transformation.

To understand spiritual transformation that is endemic to Christianity, one must understand the etiology of God, the makeup of the soul, and the laws God set in motion to govern these powers. The need to understand the origin of God is set within the context of the human need to understand our own origin, purpose of life, and eternal destiny. Failure to understand God’s etiology translates into failure to understand our own human development, growth, and healing.

The Exigent Faith describes a faith that is in crisis. Statistics for mid-2004 indicate that there are 5,543,000 books about Christianity, there are 41,000 Christian periodicals, and there are 2,355,000,000 total monthly listeners and viewers tuned in to 4,200 Christian radio/TV stations (Source: International Bulletin of Missionary Research, January 2004. David B. Barrett & Todd M. John son. http://www.gem-werc.org/resources.htm).

Despite this tremendous exposure to Christian education, many find it difficult to live the Christian faith. Researcher George Barna noted that most believers stated that their church does little to help them grow as a true disciple. Few believers said that their church lacked programs, but most Christians complained that little is done to effectively motivate and facilitate their development as genuine, fervent followers of Christ. Our surveys among pastors showed that they dismissed such views as excuses and as inaccurate, but the bottom line remains unchanged: most Christians are simply not making progress in their personal spiritual development. (Barna G. Discipleship Insights. November 28, 2000. (Retrieved November 14, 2003 from http://www.barna.org/FlexPage.aspx?Page=BarnaUpdate&BarnaUpdateID=76).

My own research, conducted over the past twenty-eight years, confirms these findings. With the overwhelming evidence that an Exigent Faith exists, very little is being done to track its symptoms and provide an education that would grant believers real choices that translate into measurable and lasting reality. Shortcut theology is producing short-term results, thus masking the symptoms of an Exigent Faith.

Believers are therefore imprisoned into a paradoxical system that bruises and cripples them. The response from Christian leadership has been to nurse the wounded with mitigating tools, which all demonstrate negligible impact upon the aggravating factors.

Believers continue to be deeply troubled by their inability to live up to Christian standards in any form. They complain that the knowledge base they receive from leadership is inadequate and unable to address the religious and spiritual problems they face. My studies show that in many instances Christians feel that the spiritual challenges set before them are presented in generalities and expectations are loosely tied to pre-conceived Christian images that are out of reach.

In terms of Soul Impact and outcome, the programs and Spiritual Tools failed to facilitate remedy, and therefore they complained that the program did little to remove the paradoxes from their faith. With every sermon, faith participants received certain predictions based on engagement of faith protocols. These promises were many:

1. Christ would rule in your heart.

2. The Spirit of God would help and empower your walk with God.

3. Faith and love would grow strong.

4. I will know God.

5. I will live free from sin.

6. Ability to show God’s mercy and goodness to others.

7. Ability to let go of emotional wounds.

8. Intimate
