Above: BIG PERSPECTIVE…For what is to follow…The Simple Wooden Cross upon which Christ suffered and sacrificed His Life..for each and every single person of every race,nation, tribe..even voting political parties” Someone once preached that “the Cross is the symbol of the Big I (carnal,human ego) completely crossed out” Before Hollywood grabbed a whole of this, claimed it, died Christ’s hair blonde and gave Him blue eyes, millions of Fans and bright mega Lights and Media.And perverted His servant ministry into all about big Mighty ME, OURSELVES and all of OUR enjoying Big Bucks (Am pro ‘having faith for finances..” but am surely CAREFUL about how I /me, we equip + apply it)
This was first printed May 28, 2014, I revised 2019 www.taveauleader.com
DFW Backstory: what comes out in the following, is based upon the Fact that as a pure hearted Christian believer, raised by a happy, healthy pure hearted Southern Baptist gentleman pastor mature leader father and my dear capable leader mothers,..meaning..
….I had never in my life experienced repeated, all out regional ministry mostly native WE are the World CENTRIC.. Good Old Play Boys bias, ongoing mysogyny…trying to One Up, gain big Advantage over…
….plus warring under ” You are OUR possession” We demand to be OVER YOU not really even want to get to KNOW you” or “Lo, a Sister cometh..so with that, a HER, SHE usually means TROUBLE or Gullible Ministry Chattel…inferring willing, waiting to be big USED”.. .(hence Noble Berean Leader FIRING VERY FULL FARE)..such as in NON servant apostolic chief subversive chauvinism UNTIL, ONLY AFTER the relocation to the Deep South area supposedly Born Again all around Ministry (spirit filled) . It raised in me the deep true CONCERN for persons of other nations, all races and persons who may visit, drop in or try to attend over many of these Hail Fellow Well Met Compassion Fatigued area Ministries.
And if I had only experienced it, and not had it come out to frankly attack this still abiding ONLY in James 3:17 resilient person…meaning ONLY 1-2 -even 3 recurring PROPHETIC ministry times..this this valid stoic, apostolic person would have let it slide.
AREA HOWEVER: Yet the LORD had given me instructions 25 years prior: IF I allow you to encounter that 1-2 times..ignore it but 3 or 25 or (MANY) more ..then I am revealing this to YOU as a office prophet..for YOU are seeing what I SEE..and I want YOU to doctrinally and James 3:17 abiding respectfully up front call MINISTRY ATTENTION to all this..so therefore I do here.
AND ALL OF THIS shall be mainly confined to 2005 -Dec 2018 Leader Discovery Mantled Abiding Deep South Years.. For following my Holy Spirit led shift back to the present Real Life Location…I was amazed to discover 3 NON celebrity NON all wise red state western country leader clubbish pioneering proverbial roots NON into legalistic covering Chief WELP (overseer shepherding) NON continually self guarding religious mega moves..but at last refreshing NON OF THE area ABOVE.
So hence I put that that leg of the Journey and started AFRESH. ANEW.
BUT with mighty mega tons to discuss, doctrine theologically and apostolic theoretically openly submit and leader deeply discuss.
SO now that all that is said. HERE IT REALLY GOES.
FYI it ties in with the Word from The Lord a few months ago (2019) about an ongoing MINISTRY ACTS 2 continually FLUSH
BIG CALL (ALMOST GRAVE) FOR TV CELEBRITY ADORING RELIGIOUS MINISTRY CONCERN: big bias, nonvaluing HUMAN of ALL STYLE TYPE, GENDER, APPEARANCE POLITICS real God formed non all BIG I’s PERSONS
Please view the following as a Call to E.O.R.R. Attention.(Equal Opportunity REAL RESPECT for the office of every human being made in God’s image Psalm 139) From the HIGHEST OFFICE to the very very LOWEST all races, faiths, genders, politics, identities, socio -economic status, nation of origin or NONE…..well known or NOT…
A SELAH: WHAT IF JESUS CAME TO TOWN?
“Blessed are the pure in heart, they shall see (far more accurately perceive and discern the movements, inner /outer workings of ) God.” Matthew 5:8
“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” Abiding Emotionally Mature,even Longsuffering JAMES 3:17 All Relationship Fruit
“Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons:” Acts 10:34 (means: doesn’t play favorites)

PLAYING A “WHAT IF” ….
WHAT IF
Jesus got off at the bus stop
In the central part of town
And He carried only two cardboard suitcases
And His skin was sort of brown?
WHAT IF
Jesus got off the bus silently
Without warning, fanfare or hype?
And disembarked
With no disciples, handlers or entourage,
Simply to watch how humans react?
WHAT IF
Jesus’ picked up His luggage
And walked out into the street
And wondered to Himself (as He was arrival was unannounced)
“Will the locals show Me respect?”
WHAT IF
The Curious Christ wondered,
Will the locals hold a door open for a nobody?
Will they try to take advantage of a “stranger unawares?
Will they perceive Me by my outward appearance?
Or attempt to spiritually perceive Me based on from Whom I AM Sent?
THEN, WHAT IF
The Savior stepped out into the regional,
Area wide grass roots flow
And His Heavenly Father began to point out the spiritual mixture,
Descending down from the (leader) very highest
To the (elder) least and very low.
A MEGA ASIDE…CHRIST ISAIAH 53 …PRE CHRISTIAN HOLLYWOOD “He had no stately form or majesty to attract us, no beauty that we should desire Him.He was despised and rejected by men, a man of sorrows, acquainted with grief.Like one from whom men hide their faces,He was despised, and we esteemed Him not.”
WHAT IF
Jesus’ didn’t appear traditionally stylized
…had below average looks.. brown olive skin..
And when He mingled amidst SOME
Stirred up even great consternation?
What if Christ’s facial features …. broken English
Caused some to frown upon Him with bigoted
(even ministry) pitying accusation?
WHAT IF
There were some who disdained Jesus accepting, soft spoken mature nature?
While some others severely noted
Jesus solemn international /even Hebrew appearance
Then mocked Him openly as
“Not one bit like us…”
And/or maybe “Just one more of those Christ Killer Jews?”
WHAT IF
A whole lot of Nice Polite Christians took Jesus in for a day.
But then turned Him out ….deeming the Messiah much too grass roots, far too tribal….perceived as Anti Establishment
Nearly everywhere God’s Sent Messenger went, something deep within His spiritual DNA afflicted and aggravated far more comfortable and well off. So these secretly accused Jesus among themselves….and labeled the mostly reserved, subdued definitely Atypical minister as “arrogant””proud” “too radical”..”suspicious” “troublesome” “non working”..and/or not political enough to favor their own leader private voting views.
Yet many had actually (at first) desired to fully accept Him…but only IF the newbie Christ was willing to be a part of them by their own previously Set Standards meaning…on their OWN ministry terms.
BUT many others, only wanted to accept and befriend Jesus IF HE wrapped Himself up in their own nation’s flag and officially joined their organization…even agreed sign on their OWN In Club House party line.
WHAT IF
Around the local area many others
Dimly regarded Jesus eclectic tribal look,
Along with his natural Middle Eastern “vibe,”
And hastened to categorize Jesus (from afar off)
As “one of those suspicious Middle Eastern malevolent stereotypes.”
WHAT IF
Jesus arrived in the center of town
Not arrayed in the finest of clothes
What if He owned no designer suits
Or had no products or CDs to sell?
Would Jesus’ ministry be avoided
Simply because He didn’t model “upscale?”
WHAT IF
Jesus didn’t resemble your typical “Born Again Christian?”
Or act the Garden Variety Ministry Approved Type?
What if the Christ never used a title?
Or carried a business card?
And WHAT IF
During Jesus first days in the city
(if He wasn’t an apparent Alpha Type Male)
Repeatedly encountered self proclaimed “ministry leaders”
Who informed Him that He ought to be “under” all of them?
WHAT IF
Suddenly Jesus Christ recognized
The spiritual lay of the land?
And discerned that over many who were wretched and blind?
For they repeatedly attempted to twist Bible Scriptures
To rationalize and to cover their own________(s).
(Concerning the popular beliefs that they held)
In of their well fed, self satisfied, legalistic insensitive, many even reprobate, previously made up,
Ever
Oh, So Right, minds.
WHAT IF
The same local reverends
Were afraid Jesus would “steal their turf”
And “sheep steal” their tithes and love offerings?
Would they avoid speaking with Him face to face?
WOULD THESE SAME “ministry elders”
Clannishly band together, remaining apart and aloof?
Would they habitually smile broadly (to Jesus’ face)
Then go self importantly (behind His back)
And spread rumors that “He’s a questionable leader GOOF!”
WHAT IF
Jesus avoided the area ministry Good Old Humans Ministry Club
But hung out with the “least of these?”
Would the local religious mentally Tough Customers
Be suspicious that He was planning to deceive?
Then would they then spread tales and rumors
That Pioneering Minister Jesus was “out of control!”
And that He was “contentious” “subversive” “self seeking”
And “divisive”
(Meaning: That Christ refused to yield to their spirit of control)
WHAT IF THESE SAME
Regarded the Christ as “proud, unloving and unrighteously angry”
After He upset the church’s money changers tables?
AND WHAT IF the local senior elders viewed Jesus as “dangerously way off balance”
(And surely another reason was that the Messiah’s Prize Possession was a simple cruel cross…
The One He was willing to carry.)
WHAT IF
Jesus realized that He would become well known
Among the hypocrites and the pretenders?
WHAT IF He leader discerned that His holy name would get dragged through the mud
Though He humbly, patiently prayed and healed
And “suffered the little children?”
WHAT IF
Jesus understood the lay of the land
And preferred the sinners to the In House Religious Party Clan?
WHAT IF
Jesus, while on His Servant Leader Mission,
Preferred “selective fellowshipping”
With those whose hearts weren’t always “right”
But who maintained a childlike faith
And open heart condition.
RIGHT NOW
Would the Non Stylized…decidedly ethnic, most certainly atypical area minister Christ be accepted? By the local area Ministry Valued?
…Would He be distanced from, avoided.. rejected, even biased against..appearing as some prior unwanted ministry stereotype?
Would Christ feel peer pressured to become part of the System? Yet, would He succumb. Assessing..100% NOT
Yet, might Jesus be happier in the midst of conforming religion…seen laughing, networking or dining with the non churched..Even risking his reputation by being seen conversing with with notoriously sin laden women?*
* ( Mary Magdalene, the woman at the well)
SO WHAT IF
Jesus took his suitcases and walked out to your street… WOULD He would be accepted and respected?
Or withstood or stereotyped
…once again?
Would His own Church clearly perceive Him?
Or would He be seerishly spied upon
Via far away Levitical territorial superior pride
Who never leader confront just run, duck, cover and hide.
WHAT IF
Jesus felt forced to preach and work-plant
Over the World Wide Web?
What if He escaped to a modern leader internal Cave of Adullam?
To escape the narrow confines of accuser religion?
WHAT IF
The kindly Savior had His very own online prophetic Hillside
To proclaim His GOOD NEWS once again?
It would be free and open to ALL around the globe
Modeling Genuine Ministry Human Real Respect for
ALL economic strata, appearance, gender and skin.
YES, JESUS
Was/Is aware of what’s inside each “human’s heart”
And may just come again by surprise.
He repeatedly shows up dressed as ‘the least of these”
And in human persons who don’t role model our own pet stereotype.
But Jesus enjoys rankling the self satisfied and complacent
He comes ever rattling the norm
He “afflicts the comfortable and comforts the afflicted”
And may suddenly appear through innocent children
The elderly,the silent suffering and the lame.
Yet God is forever “confounding the worldly wise”
Thus He even comes in the pure hearted and upscale….
And in the single,the wayfarer, the apostolic elite
But most likely in the way way down.
WHAT IF
Jesus Mission was Mercy, mixed with trying human hearts to intentionally reveal:
WHO were truly ARE all by ourselves…. without HIM..
And WHO we can become…. because of…. with HIM …
and through HIM?
(And even in spite of ourselves….
CONCLUSION:
“Blessed are the pure in heart…they shall see** God” (accurately perceive and discern Him, even as He works on their behalf…) Matthew 5:8
“Unto the pure all things are pure: but unto them that are defiled and unbelieving is nothing pure; but even their mind and conscience is defiled.” Titus 1:15
