Things to understand!
#1. The Worldwide Church of God is a spiritual organism, not a corporation or human structure (1 Corinthians 12:27).
This did not come from my mind! I got it from Herbert W Armstrong, and it comes from the mind of Christ.
“Actually the Worldwide Church of God is a spiritual organism, created by GOD — not a legal corporate organization created by this world's laws.”(Advisory Council of Elders formed, March 16, 1981 Worldwide News)
Let this witness be therefore established in the Lord.
#2. Christ is the living Head of the Worldwide Church of God, and no other church.
#3. “Abide in Me, and I in you…for without Me you can do nothing” (John 15:4–5).
If you depart from and leave the Worldwide Church of God(the identity of the spiritual organism in this Philadelphia era), and deny anything the apostle of Christ teaches, you are OUTSIDE of the Church and spiritual body of Christ, and you are NOT ABIDING IN CHRIST as commanded to us here in scripture.
Notice the following scriptures: Hebrews 13:7-9, 17; 1 Corinthians 11:1-3; 1 Thessalonians 2:1, 9-13, 17-30; Hebrews 13:1-3; Jude 1:17; Revelation 3:3; Romans 6:17-18; Romans 10:13-18; Galatians 6:7-10; Philippians 2:12-16; 2 Thessalonians 3:13-15; 1 Peter 4:17-18; 2 Thessalonians 2:15; 1 Thessalonians 3:6-8; Philippians 4:9; Ephesians 4:11-16; Hebrews 11:35-39; There are many instructions for us to obey concerning what we have learned through an apostle.
Steve Meyers said to me recently:
“Notice that the command is to abide in Christ — it does not say “abide in Herbert Armstrong” or “abide in the Worldwide Church of God.” Our faith and obedience must be centered on Jesus Christ, not on any one human leader or past organization.”
But what is the Worldwide Church of God, it is the spiritual body of Christ! That has already been established in the Lord!
Herbert W Armstrong is an apostle that has been added to the spiritual Body of Christ!
1 Corinthians 12:18-21
“But now hath God set the members every one of them in the body, as it hath pleased him.
“And if they were all one member, where were the body?
“But now are they many members, yet but one body.
“And the eye cannot say unto the hand, I have no need of thee: nor again the head to the feet, I have no need of you.”
When you receive the apostle sent by Christ, you receive Christ!
Matthew 10:40
“He that receiveth you receiveth me, and he that receiveth me receiveth him that sent me.
John 13:20
“Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that receiveth whomsoever I send receiveth me; and he that receiveth me receiveth him that sent me.”
John 12:48
“He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day.”
Matthew 10:33
“But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven.”
Jude 1:4
“For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ.”
1 John 2:22
“Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son.”
1 John 4:3
“And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.”
Jesus Christ came in the flesh of Herbert W Armstrong. That is, through the indwelling of the Holy Spirit, Christ worked in and through His servant and His apostle, Mr Herbert W Armstrong.
To teach people, that Christ is not in Herbert W Armstrong, and that the Worldwide Church of God is NOT the spiritual body of Christ, is the spirit of Antichrist, and not the Holy Spirit.
Christ is still leading His Body. He is head of the Worldwide Church of God.
Too many look for a human man to follow. They don’t get it. It is a SPIRITUAL BODY!
All other churches look to MEN! And so some want what the other churches got, MEN TO LEAD THEM! Give us a man! Didn’t the elders of Israel in the prophet Samuel’s time cry out for the same thing?
I look to Jesus Christ as HEAD of the Church.
Through the apostle many men were trained and appointed to the ministry, various functions, and given their assignments.
With Aaron Dean, I am simply acknowledging there was an appointment made, an assignment was given, and he has a certain function that is required of the body to function!
What if your heart stopped beating? Or what if you lungs stopped? What if your brain shuts off? What if your liver? What if your digestion? When a function of the body is not working, is not doing its job, the whole body suffers!
Aaron Dean is the last man on the advisory council of elders, inside the Worldwide Church of God. He didn’t sign away his delegated authority as the others did to Tkach Sr in/around 1991.
He himself has admitted to it.
I didn’t appoint him. Christ’s apostle did.
I’m simply acknowledging it, and paying respect.
A pillar in the temple LIFTS UP what Christ has appointed. It doesn’t lift up what Satan or man has appointed.
Mr Armstrong was used by the living Jesus Christ to prepare the bride! And to restore the government of God in the Church.
That requires appointment of men.
Everyone else left their appointment. Aaron Dean has the target on his back for being the last man standing.
Now after every other man on the Advisory Council of Elders signed away their delegated powers to Joseph Tkach Sr, in 1991, they left and formed other groups disobeying Christ.
Division was okay with them. Christ says there is NO DIVISION in His body. People just vacate and make themselves known they were not of us, for they surely would have continued with us if they were of us.
Now Tkach Sr had left the Church and Jesus Christ. He committed identity fraud by misusing the name of the Church, because through it he had control of the assets of the Church. That identity fraud continued through Joseph Tkach Jr, his son, until they finally changed their name to Grace Community International.
Division was okay with them. Christ says there is NO DIVISION in His body. People just vacate and make themselves known they were not of us, for they surely would have continued with us if they were of us.
Now in 1993, after the rest of those appointed left Christ and the Church, Aaron Dean was the single man left standing who held fast to his delegated authority.
In 1993, Joseph Tkach Jr and Victor Kubik, introduced a new “regional structure of administrative ministers” above the field ministry and between them and Church Administration.
This was an act of disobedience to Christ. It was part of the apostasy.
“The system that has led to competitive power blocks within God's Church, from the Director of the Ministry on down, is now a thing of the past. There is no room for special power blocks seeking competitive political power in God's Church.
“We in the Church of God are ONE BODY, under Jesus Christ as our Head….
“…At a meeting yesterday in Tucson, with the four Regional Assistants, Messrs. Dean Blackwell, Dennis Luker, Burk McNair and Leroy Neff, together with Mr. Raymond McNair and my personal assistants Joseph Tkach and Kevin Dean, the offices of "Area Coordinators" were abolished….”
Victor Kubik wrote: “…as outlined in chapter 12, the regional pastor administrative structure that was established to solidify church operations was now re-coalescing to form core ministerial leadership of the soon-to-be formed United Church of God.”(Kubik.org)
He also wrote: “After being appointed the director of Church Administration by his father, Joe Jr. had held off on creating any kind of mid-structure in administration. This hesitancy existed because two former mid-structures efforts had resulted in the creation of organizational-sapping problematic power bases.
“Before it is lost to history, allow me to present some important background: one early streamlined structure of regional pastors organized by David Antion (a senior Pasadena ministerial administrator and brother-in-law to Garner Ted Armstrong, son of Herbert Armstrong) replaced sixteen District Superintendents in the early 1970s. That structure lasted only a brief time because of an attempted organizational revolt against the administration of Mr. Armstrong (the years 1972-74 included times of momentous change and difficult organizational upheaval).
“That system conceived by David Antion was done away with, but replaced with a two-tier Area Coordinator structure that suffered a similar fate. Now with two failed mid-structures, there was no organizational appetite for yet another structure.
“When I came to work for Joe Tkach Jr., we interfaced directly with the entire pastoral workforce, similar to what Joe Sr. had done when he was head of Church Administration. That had its own set of challenges in creating a form of a managerial bottleneck.
“But events in 1993 showed the need for a new organizational structure. Joe Tkach Jr. was now wanting again to install a mid-management structure to oversee the ministry more closely (this act and its consequences will be explained more fully in a future chapter). Accordingly, in 1993 fourteen regional pastors were appointed in part to serve as “cheerleaders” and promote the sweeping doctrinal changes to the ministry.”( Kubik.org)
“One of the highlights of working with Joe Jr. was establishing the regional pastor structure.”- Victor Kubik(Kubik.org)
“In 1993 we began designing conference formats and content strictly for the newly chosen Regional Pastors (RP). As previously explained, the underlying main purpose of these RP conferences was one of indoctrination. In addition to providing a more effective form of mid-level administration through the Regional Pastors structure, they – as envisioned by Joe Tkach Jr. and Mike Feazell -- were to promote and enforce the recent sweeping and controversial changes in long-established WCG theology. In short, their primary job was to be mentors and teachers of the new doctrines, whether they wanted to or not.”- Victor Kubik(Kubik.org)
Victor Kubik wrote: “…as outlined in chapter 12, the regional pastor administrative structure that was established to solidify church operations was now re-coalescing to form core ministerial leadership of the soon-to-be formed United Church of God.”(Kubik.org)
And finally, “Within this group, all agreed on one element: whatever this new organization looked like, there would never again be an opportunity for the concentration of power – especially that of a doctrinal nature – within the hands of a single man, unanswerable to anyone but himself.
“And thus was born the United Church of God, an International Association.” (Kubik.org)
Now, we know Tkach left the Church, left the spiritual organism, left Christ! He was misusing the identity and property of the church through fraud.
A concentration of Satanic power and Satanic authority in flawed men should be battled against and resisted!
A concentration of the power and authority of God, in flawed men, should be embraced and supported and held fast to!
There is a difference! It’s between the Holy and the Profane.
Now at the time of 1995, the last man standing in his appointment was Mr Aaron Dean. He, though through no fault of his own, had obtained a concentration of power and authority from God, being the last man standing in the Advisory Council of Elders inside the Worldwide Church of God.
Everyone else left!
He stayed faithful in his assignment and promises he made to Mr Armstrong.
The UCG was raised up through disobedience to the apostle, established themselves, and operate under alien authority, from without the Worldwide Church of God! Who gave them power through disobedience? Not God!
Get the point?
Who retains legitimacy? Aaron Dean!
But who has locked Aaron Dean down, unable to fulfill his god-given function and role within the Worldwide Church of God? The UCG!
So this just like the picture depicted in Zechariah 3! If he stands up, the false accusation from Satan would be “he usurps!”
They do not want him to operate in his spiritual functions! They already put it down on paper as record!
They didn’t differentiate between the Holy and the profane, between God and Satan.
They didn’t want to lose control to a man unanswerable to anyone else.
Mr Armstrong was unanswerable to the ministry. They obviously still hold the grudge against that!
But now, again, I am looking at the legitimacy of authority, the legitimacy of appointment, and who is faithfully walking with the apostle, instead of vacating and leaving!
I see a lack of wolves surrounding Aaron Dean!
They have no legitimate authority.
They have no ministry with Jesus Christ.
Yet their counterfeit takes a good deal away from what they liked about the Worldwide Church of God! They shaved off the parts they didn’t like and that they couldn’t control!
But Aaron Dean has legitimacy! For those of us who still believe, who are still the members of the Worldwide Church of God!
Outside of this church, they laugh and mock! They don’t believe that!
I was told recently by Steve Meyers, “Scripture is clear: God’s Church is “built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ Himself being the chief cornerstone” (Ephesians 2:20). That foundation is not Herbert Armstrong, nor the Worldwide Church of God.”
The UCG does not believe Herbert W Armstrong is part of the foundation of their church. Hey, the quiet part has been said out loud! I AGREE WITH THE STATEMENT!
The Worldwide Church of God has Herbert W Armstrong as part of our foundation. It is built upon the foundation of apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ being the chief cornerstone.
It doesn’t matter if he has died. All the past men of God who are sealed for the first resurrection have died. What Christ did through him has been received by us INSIDE the Worldwide Church of God, with power, authority, as from God not from man, by those of us who believe and fear God.
The Word of God instructs us FULLY, and we believe God and so we hold fast, not denying His name!
But we also see a man duly appointed going into the lake of fire, because of what Satan is doing to trap him!
Pray for Mr Dean! He needs it!
And out of all the remaining ministry, he has legitimate authority and power from Christ! He was appointed to the Advisory Council of Elders inside the Worldwide Church of God.
He belongs to God!
LET HIM GO!
What was the Advisory Council of Elders formed for?
“But, just in case of my disability for any reason, to prevent Satan from causing division, I feel God has inspired me to delegate power to the Advisory Council, during any such complete disability, to take full charge of the Work and all its assets and activities.
The CHURCH must not be scattered. It must not become scattered, because there is no COMPETENT, CHRIST-CHOSEN SPIRITUAL SHEPHERD, TO BECOME MEAT FOR BEASTS (human) OF THE FIELD! (See Ezekiel 34:5.) This is a safeguard for YOUR protection.”
(Herbert W Armstrong, March 19,1981 Co-Worker and Brethren Letter)
Creating another church group, like the UCG or any other group, has brought division.
They call this acceptable. But it’s damned by God and Jesus Christ!
This Advisory Council of Elders is meant to ELIMINATE DIVISION!!!!! To keep the Worldwide Church of God from being scattered!!!!!!
So zoom in, brethren, on Aaron Dean. Pray for him. He is the last man standing, and Satan has him chained up in a group meant for his demise.
Read Zechariah 3, and 6.
Now is the time, when God is looking at this, and placing his hand on Mr Dean.
Once God has looked on a man, he does not look for another.
The UCG is simply a structure that puts a line of ministers between Aaron Dean and the other ministers. It stalls out the Worldwide Church of God…or they think!!!!!
Get ready brethren for the mighty works of God!
