NOTE: This was first posted JAN 31, 2015 www.taveauleader.com PART 2 LEVI PROPHETIC ROOTS: This continues with the SET UP,PREFACE /OVERVIEW before we get to the LEVI PROPHETIC ROOTS IN continuing PART 2, the writer rambles to finish her PREFACE, LEADER OVERVIEW but shortly in the next 2-3 parts of this LEVI PROPHETIC ROOTS examination series..we will at last ARRIVE to check out the cast of highly called characters in LEVIS’s personal family. “Simeon and Levi are brothers:their swords are weapons of violence. Let me not enter their council, let me not join their assembly, 
for they have killed men in their anger and hamstrung oxen as they pleased.” Genesis 49:5-7 “Even good people can have adulterated, bad doctrine.” TD’A Leadership After you’ve been repeatedly mauled by lions, you  eventually learn how recognize  their scent.” Taveau D’Arcy Ministries PART 2 LEVI PROPHETIC ROOTS: INVESTIGATION OF OT LEVITICAL PATRIARCHISM (C)2015 Taveau D’Arcy Celebration of His Word Book Publishing All copyrights reserved After you’ve been repeatedly mauled by lions, you  eventually learn how recognize  their scent.” Taveau D’Arcy Ministries  “Simeon and Levi are brothers:their swords are weapons of violence. Let me not enter their council, let me not join their assembly, 
for they have killed men in their anger and hamstrung oxen as they pleased.” Genesis 49:5-7 THE BIG LEADER QUESTION: Q.WHY BOTHER TO STUDY LEVI? A.THIS IS AT LEAST ONE PART OF THE REASON (And this following is also my APOSTOLIC LEADER DISCLAIMER) FROM 1970’s until about mid 2006: While this writer DID often take a ministry stand against RACISM, PREJUDICE, BUT …. this apostolic “The She” NEVER EVER ONCE ( once even mildly considered) addressing apostolic CHAUVINISM, AREA MYSOGYNY or SENIOR LEADER GENDER OPPRESSION. However, following my deep religious southwest relocation…and due to all that has repeatedly transpired. (meaning only within the confused so called CHURCH) this non novice perceiver seer not one bit doctrinally confused mature writer RIGHT NOW regards ministry MYSOGYNY, GENDER JAUNDICE and ACCUSER BIAS, mixed in with sly big pastoral smirking soft spoken CHAUVINISM on the same par as RACISM. AND AFTER THAT BEING FOUND SO, one must NOBLE BEREAN BIBLE STUDY the ACCEPTED LEADER BIBLE DOCTRINE in order to locate WHERE many of these “born again types” of LEADERS derive their BIBLE DOCTRINE… Dr Taveau D’Arcy Creative Leadership   MAIN POINT: THERE ARE ENDURING THEOLOGY THREADS IN BOTH OLD AND NEW TESTAMENT…and when they are correctly leader TAUGHT, good remaining, Spiritually SAFE in House Fruit will abide. Healthy abiding local minister leader spiritual fruit resembles the following ALL ABOUT ONGOING, ABIDING MINISTRY, LIFE, FAMILY RELATIONSHIPS TRUE UNITY FRUIT. (See page on right of THIS HOME PAGE for Taveau’s 10 BIBLE RELATIONSHIPS) ** GALATIANS 5: 22-23 Apostle Paul’s list of the “fruits of the (Holy) Spirit (love, joy, peace, patience, meekness, gentleness, goodness, self control) **JAMES 3:17 list Spiritual wisdom, advice, knowledge and human person interaction highly POSITIVE enduring TRUE SPIRITUAL FRUIT “The wisdom that comes from above is first of all pure, peaceable, easily entreated full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality and without hypocrisy.” **CHRIST FOLLOWING APOSTOLIC (RELATIONSHIP) UNITY extended BIBLE VERSE Study; BOOK OF EPHESIANS 4, 1: 6, 2:14, 2:19-20, 5:21 **FURTHER MORE… (ONGOING) ACCURATE NEW TESTAMENT BIBLE STUDY would then be minus Old Testament LEGALISM and (quite appropriate to this Bible equipping article series) missing “LEVITICAL RULES AND OLD TESTAMENT LAWS, BIG GOVERNMENTAL RELIGIOUS SYSTEMS) (Many apologies, more in depth on all of that…. another time…) II. A HISTORICAL PEEK AT THE HEAD OF THE TRIBE OF LEVI…(note; this will be covered a lot more in depth in the next 2-3 LEVI PROPHETIC ROOT chapters) A historical glimpse into LEVI, the future Patriarch’s upbringing, his natural family lineage and the spiritual, emotional, natural nurturing and family upbringing help to give us a peek inside Levi’s”prophetic” ROOTS…>” AND we want to take a LOOK at LEVI’S deep pedigree, his natural, spiritual, emotional BACKGROUND, is extremely important as LEVI became the patriarchal FATHER of one of the 12 tribes of the nation of Israel: the Levites (house of God servant leaders, including musicians, worship leaders, various, helps, etc.. and those who assisted the temple high priests, who leader oversaw, the many BOOK OF LEVITICUS ” Levitical” Laws. DEFINITION OF THE WORD “LEVITE”: http://www.thefreedictionary.com/levite IN MODERN DAY 5 FOLD OFFICE FOCUS: HOWEVER in modern mixed up theology, there are some 5 fold office apostolic pioneering leaders who gain their own personal esteem, enjoy having a devoted following, intend to monetarily increase, and may revel in the display of their own exalted spiritual authority; Other may misinterpret the BIBLE..and wind up making formulas, religious decrees, a multitude of diverse rules, duties, requirements and by hard work and over doing many good deeds. And sadly, some of these often become tempted to wield POWER or suffer a big temptation to be (ministry, locally) renown as THE LORD GOD’S AUTHORITY “OVER” various other local ministers. MANY, due to their own belief (or error or mass doctrinal confusion) may mistakenly mingle in OLD TESTAMENT LEVITICAL RELIGIOUS LAW in with many otherwise GOOD even HEALTHY (non legalistic) NEW TESTAMENT “CHRIST’S FREEDOM” spiritual doctrines. MAJOR DOCTRINAL ISSUES: MIXED UP OLD TESTAMENT LEVITICAL RELIGIOUS LAW supreme (OT Patriarchal) example: Old Testament Legalism, OT Leader MEN are OVER all FEMALES (even if the female isn’t even signed up as a member of their church, ministry /pastor’s fellowship group and/or not even married to one of them.) APOSTLE PAUL WAS NOT UNDER THE LEVITICAL LAW. Rather he taught the First Church, “There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.” GELATINS 3:28** ** WHAT THE WRITER has long determined is that due to the lack of Bible balance mixed in with much otherwise GOOD, BALANCED Bible teaching…then we find CONFUSION stems from the lack of KNOWLEDGE and MINISTRY TERMS (breeding much deep ministry confusion) in the GENESIS males, females CHAIN OF COMMAND In House mature, respectful ORDER and instead view leader MEN as OVER all leader WOMEN in a attempting to control, to repress and make forever subservient due to LACK OF REAL DEEP KNOWLEDGE or family life pure hearted EXPERIENCE in real life happy families.   MAIN POINT: USE “chain of command to maintain church, hose, non legalistic order” as opposed to enslaving oppressive “covering’ “all women being viewed as UNDER” (implying second rate,weaker “stupider” submitted vessel”) AND THIS non legalistic, non feminist, Writer has mentioned this many times in writing and in video… (and with a LOT MORE to come) IN MODERN DAY APOSTOLIC MINISTRY: THEN ADD to the SLAVE OWNER pass down ROMAN PATRICIANISM in too many pioneering senior ministries..this repeatedly teaches, drills into BOTH males AND females..that “GOd’s WOMEN are SECOND CLASS” “SUBSERVIENT’ “EASY TO LOOSE THEIR SELF GOVERNMENT /SELF CONTROL” and are “made second class to be subservient and less than, all leader men. HAPPILY, this is NOThow the writer’s father, nor men in her extended family EVER (EVER) were. While the REAL MANLY HAPPY FAMILY MEN technically “wore the pants” as the HEAD OF THE HOME, they and each of their legal spouses, also enduringly practiced EPHESIANS 5:21 mutual respect also with “mutual submission in the fear of the Lord’ with the HEAD OF THE HOME (in this case my Dad) serving the family as the TIE BREAKER. THUS this (raised non legalistically FREE) as in liberated IN THE THINGS OF CHRIST…the SHE (and her kid SISTER ) were NOT dulled down or confined by what was THE (accuser) LEGALISTIC LAW. FURTHERMORE, it was only after embarking in MINISTRY, when the she-writer mingled and sat with, prayed for and with 5 mature senior pastors, ministry leaders in her former area, divine appointment, repentance for revival area meetings. repeatedly that soon the ministry pioneering, very apostolic leader, soon encountered MANY various, even completely New…local senior minister leader apostolic DOCTRINES. AND as the ministry SHE watched deep south legalism and New Testament acquire Phariseeism spread just like said proverbial Bible “YEAST” the terms “covering” and “being UNDER the “A” Local Pastor” and “Serving a spiritual FATHER, APOSTLE in order foR GOD to “ELEVATED YOUR VERY OWN MINISTRY” began to become very widely accepted and ministry “quite POPULAR” (this was NOT denominational ministry born again groups but mostly among apostolic charismatic, prophetic)..and the well trained,dutiful, supremely devoted “elevated pulpit’ rising ministry, lay Christ Followers. …..AND A LOT of this came from passed down, ministry inherited prior leader generation TEACHING. But a lot also seemed to stem from TV MEDIA (many GOOD) leader hero examples, good Bible basic DOCTRINES being misunderstood, mixed in with local church ignorance, and OLD TESTAMENT “RELIGIOUS” LEVITICAL LAW. NOW (due to deep experiences and traveling minister wells of knowledge about REAL LIFE in local grass roots ORGANIZED CHRIST FOLLOWING… my very own senior 5 fold office ministries, TaveauCreativeLeadership and IFFM advocate “MYOB” FORM OF SPIRITUAL GOVERNING AUTHORITY (Mind Your Own Business) ministry wide advocate taking time needed time apart for NOBLE BEREAN EXAMINATION of “spiritual government, apostolic local church authority, hero role models of males /females, all MINUS OLD TESTAMENT LEVITICAL LAW and PASSED DOWN TRADITION (including Western European Roman Patricianism, Leader Doctrines of the NICOLAITANS as well as “RESPECTER OF PERSONS SPIRIT.” ITAVEAU CREATIVE LEADERSHIP urges ALL Christ followers, all mature leaders to READ THE BOOKS OF MATTHEW, MARK, LUKE AND JOHN to see where/if LEGALISM is used by MESSIAH JESUS CHRIST and “spiritual covering, ‘needing to find a SPIRITUAL APOSTOLIC OFFICE as FATHER” (meaning: feeling heavily pressured by MINISTRY PEERS who tell YOU that “if YOU DO NOT SUBMIT to WHOEVER THEY might name as THE ONLY RIGHT ONE” ….MINUS their demonstrating REAL RESPECT for YOU and YOUR OWN NEED to NOBLE BEREAN PROCESS about this and finally “hear GOD FOR YOUR OWN SELF.” (more later on this also) DISCERNMENT OF ALL MINISTRY LEADER DOCTRINE: MEANING YOURS, EVEN MINE, AND ALL OF “THEIRS”… MAJOR EVALUATION POINTS: ** GOOD HEALTHY MINISTRY DOCTRINE resembles the MESSIAH of ISAIAH 11:2-3 “He was sharp of understanding, delighted Himself in the fear of the Lord and would not (accuser) judge by the sight of His eyes or make decisions based on what He heard.) GOOD NONLEGALISTIC DOCTRINE does not spawn ministry, leader, personal/any other ACCUSATION     **GOOD HEALTHY MINISTRY DOCTRINE also would bring forth fruit which resembles: EPHESIANS 1:7, 1:17, 2:14, 2:17-20,3: 19, Entire (apostolic) Chapter 4, 4:32, 4:21, Proverbs 1:7, James 3:17, Galatians 5:22-23;     ** GOOD MINISTRY DOCTRINE would build, promote, protect and never UNDERMINE, subvert, manipulate, use deceptive cunning, defraud, use, abuse, control, intend to dominate… and/or character ASSASSINATE,KILL or DESTROY “any of the ongoing BIBLE RELATIONSHIPS.’ It would set more value on HUMANS and ALL LIFE RELATIONSHIPS over “Making big income, doing many good works, over ministry achievement, building, making progress, and scurrying to make it to the next appointment “on (my) Time.”     ** GOOD HEALTHY DOCTRINE always keeps the GOOD in the GOOD NEWS (the meaning of GOSPEL).. THEREFORE THE COMPLETE OPPOSITE IS MINISTRY DOCTRINE WHICH REPRODUCES LAY, FUTURE SENIOR MINISTER, FELLOW PEER LEADER “ACCUSER OF EITHER THE BRETHEREN OR THE SISTEREN,LEADER MOTHERING even dark SUSPICIOUS, NOSEY BUSY BODY , Competitive, Self absorbed, and Self Appointed “OVER SEER” leader doctrines…creating BIG I’s, Little YOU’S and the IN CROWD and the OUT/ REJECTED CROWD in even the local church, pastors apostolic meetings and then that’s cause human “bucking for personal favor, power and position.” …also of which (due to the worldly glamor, Holly wood, You Tube, Facebook TV Media, ingratiating fawning CELEBRITY is now seeped into over much of POPULAR WORHSHIP, VIDEO CULTURE SENIOR /RISING MINISTRY. SUBMITTED AS A SELAH. SO WHEN all of this is given, displayed as THE ONLY, THE MAIN example at LOCAL MINISTRY IN A GRASS ROOTS COMMUNITY..then WHO can really correctly determine exactly WHO and WHAT is ‘Bible authentic’ “ORGANIC” in following The TRUE CHRIST (and who was, IS HE?) and the same applies to “BEING IN MINISTRY. … Continue reading PART 2 LEVI PROPHETIC ROOTS: OT LEVITICAL PARTRIACHISM BIG ISSUES
