DEDICATION:

(as he was known) REVEREND MILEY KIMBALL JOHNSON, JR 1920-1979
I dedicate this book to my loving, very non patriarchal senior pastor father, Rev. M. Kimball Johnson, Jr. who, along with my Godly mother, Nonie, raised me and my younger sister “liberated” within the arms of the living CHRIST… to love, serve and give, without racial or gender biases and to truly (perceive and disern) and have the highest regards along with the utmost respect for TYPES all governing leadership authorities.

 

THE WRITER is grateful for all the real mighty gentlemen, women of God who are NOT Levitical patriarchs, who truly love their spouses and who respect all persons, regardless of outward appearance, educational, social, national strata or any differing kind of their temporary outer court,human earth suit.

PREFACE:

WHY TAKE THE TIME TO PICK APART MINISTRY “APPEARING TO BE GOOD” DOCTRINES?

 

THE ONLY REAL GOOD REASON BEING that we ought to understand the extreme life saving, importance of determining (non dogmatic, non accuser criticizing, accuser judging aka self righteous ) ministry doctrine…. RIGHT NOW, TODAY..because the vast numbers of living human persons whose life, family, business, ETERNAL DESTINY utterly depend on it.

 

THIS IS THE REASON WHY we keep speaking OUT about searching for “ORGANIC CHRIST FOLLOWING” and ORGANIC FIRST CHURCH DOCTRINES..meaning “ones that are pure, wholly true to the Bible “ORGANIC”..which contain NO HUMAN SYNTHETIC ADDITIVES…

 

AND with all the influx of the internet, media, and fine arts, ministry lights and cameras, it is adding to FINE TUNE DISCERN and ACCURATELY PERCEIVE who is truly FROM the RISEN BIBLE CHRIST and who is simply another one of the “MANY VOICES IN THE WORLD” I Corinthians 10:14c.

 

AND WHEN so much high falooting terminology is flung all around, it creates much confusion, most people, even GOD’S PEOPLE may wonder: WHICH LEADER VOICE GETS IT RIGHT?

This is the MAIN REASON that Noble Berean apostolic doctrinal in depth study BALANCED WITH “PERCEIVER, DISCERNMENT” ministry leader equipping is so extremely RIGHT NOW URGENTLY NEEDED.

DISCERNMENT OF THE NATURE AND WAY OF GOD’S HOLY SPIRIT
AND…

DISCERNMENT OF THE NATURE, LIFE, ONGOING PERSONAL SPIRITUAL FRUIT, CHARACTER OF ALL OF THE MANY LONG SUFFERING HUMAN PEOPLES**

 

**THIS DUE TO APOSTLE PAUL who invited inspection of both his APOSTOLIC LEADER DOCTRINE but also of his PERSONAL LIFE AND MATURE CHARACTER: 2 TIMOTHY 3:10 “But thou hast fully known my doctrine, manner of life, purpose, faith, longsuffering, charity, patience,...”

 

ALSO in this all wise, modern, web/tech centered age, there is FANTASY, APOSTASY, WINDS OF DOCTRINE, PERSONAL PET POINTS OF VIEW, plus increased ACCUSATIVE SPIRITUAL WARFARE..

 

THUS ALL of the GOOD HEALTHY WISE “HOLY SPIRIT ORGANIC” INFO can get twisted, even more confused, even perverted …from online, but also on local land, as the similar Bible based ministry VOCABULARY can often mean on thing, depending upon which ministry believes WHAT and follows/is up “UNDER” WHOM.

 

FOR THIS INCREASING REASON Dr TCL, DFW LOF will not claim to “know it all” or” “have it all spiritually”..as we also enjoy many of the modern BIBLE APOSTOLIC BIBLE NATIONAL, certain special local senior oracles.

 

APOSTLE TCL also strongly believes in BOOK OF EPHESIANS ” CROSS BODY TRUE UNITY” (which is OUR “TYPE”) accompanied by NO ministry competition or immature pressure “to keep up with the ministry achievement Jones”..HENCE we will simply put forth what WE feel is right but in Bible suggested a respectfully submitted apostolic SELAH, presented in Noble Berean leadership basic style …

 

Apostle Paul commended the Jewish NOBLE BEREAN”s who closely examined each of his many scriptural teachings to and maturely compared them to scripture in order to “see if they were really so.”

 

ACTS 17:11 “These (The Berean Jews) were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so.”

THUS this writer respectfully invites each reader to do the same….only with any scriptural /doctrinal view disagreements always handled in a respectful JAMES 3:17 polite mature manner.

 

APOSTOLIC JAMES 3:17 “The (meaning ANY) wisdom that comes from above is first of all pure, peaceable, easily entreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality and without hypocrisy”

(PS and this feminine apostolic writer continually ATTEMPTS to role model apostolic JAMES 3:17)

Most respectfully,
Sr Pioneering apostolic, nontraditional leader

PART 2

LEVI PROPHETIC ROOTS: APOSTOLIC LEVITICAL PATRIARCHISM IN THE LOCAL HOLY GHOST FILLED SANCTUARY

“After one has been repeatedly mauled by lions, one gradually develops an ability to recognize their scent.” Dr. Taveau D’Arcy, IFFM Ministry founder, sr. ministry office, senior pioneering apostolic office leader

WHY BOTHER TO STUDY LEVI?

ENDURING THEOLOGY THREADS IN BOTH OLD AND NEW TESTAMENT

 

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 this 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: http://www.thefreedictionary.com/levite

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 some of these love to weild implied POWER, and suffer from the big temptation to be LORD GOD’S AUTHORITY “OVER” nearly all ministers, and may use 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.)

 

WAY Too often there is a leader kowtowing to entrenched Old Testament rooted prophetic “pecking order” and a pronounced “RELIGIOUS RESPECTER OF PERSONS” (pet persons) which fails to radiate “full unconditional acceptance for ALL types, races, various styles of ALL human persons.

 

ALL OF THIS might be cleared up immediately with top leader accurate inventory of current, personal and TV Media, all inherited traditional, all leader doctrines. (As in Noble Berean…)

It is also the writer’s big hope that by studying LEVI PROPHETIC ROOTS that we can help strip some of the legalism, apostolic Phariseeism which throws religious rocks of accusation on all who will not submit to their own In House religious brand of DOGMA and regards “Being a member of a local church” and “being viewed as UNDER some famous well known senior leader” EQUAL if not EXTREMELY MORE IMPORTANT as “having a ongoing personal intimate relationship with the free spirited, non accuser Jesus Christ!

 

 

AND I submit that they also need to train “spiritual discernment” and to better equip to obtain a more open, accepting, NON LEVITICAL, NON LEGALISITIC, NON LOPSIDEDNESS, which is in very many other wise fine places, making leadership WOMEN suppressed, as any female with Gods’ true power and Holy Might, is mistakenly perceived as “potentially coming to subvert” and they strongly react as if they have seen a big Queen Jezebel and many then act very weak, be stand offish, then accuse amongst themselves…but only in safety…. from afar.

THE PENSIVE WRITER has repeatedly pondered: What might they do if a ROVING GADERENE DEMONIAC ever showed up??

 

PLAIN COMMON SENSE: Let’s allow “Perfect love casts out fear.” I JOHN 4:18

 

AND A BIBLE REMINDER: taken from ISAIAH 40:29 “To them which have no might, He increases strength.

 

TCL, DFW LOF take a stand for against apostolic FEAR OF ANY GOD CREATED HUMAN, be they MALE or FEMALE, “Fear of (hu)man brings a snare.” PROVERBS 29:25

 

“But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin. ” I JOHN 1:7

AND WE applaud the many sr ministry leaders who regard ALL females, males as ministry potential friend, colleagues and God sent mortal peers. And we need to applaud our descended from the continent of Africa, as they appear to have the least detectible respecter of persons spirit, a unique PERCEIVER, DISCERNER over all development..at least from what this writer has seen…

 

…meaning as USA subgroup, but have the MOST of God’s ISAIAH 11:2 HOLY SPIRIT POWER AND MIGHT.(many others in all of the races have similar, but as a subgroup..persons who have been raised under the worst, formerly oppressed different cultural subgroups MOST OF THE TIME have been forced to rely on GOD ALONE and HE has met with THEM to give them MORE of his MIGHT SUSTAINING POWER. (Submitted personal opinion as a SELAH)

 

PS Submitting, maybe that’s why the FIRST CHURCH had so much Holy Spirit POWER and DUNAMIS DYNO-MIGHT” They had no body to turn to other than the LORD (no prior generations to lean on,learn important things from, NO HOW TO leader equipping books, CDs,etc.

FOR MINISTRY GROUPS who strongly mix in Old Testament Law who keep the tenets of resurrected Mid 70’s SHEPHERDING believing that each female must only move about, senior minister IF UNDERthe covering of (A, ALL 5 fold office MEN) and are not just the BIBLE WEAKER VESSEL’ but very often assume that this verse implied “dumber, morally weaker, gullible’ SECOND RATE (which is “EASY TO BE TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF” among the local Predators in Cunning Apostolic Leadership…

This is only a small part of my reason for starting an apostolic BIBLE COLLEGE with PSALM 118 MINISTRY DOCTRINES FOR A NEW DAY. TEAMMATE UNIVERSITY “CROSS TRUE BODY: BOOK OF EPHESIANS” TBA

SELAH ASIDE:

CLEAR DISCERNMENT: WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN…..

*A FEMALE WHO IS A “WOMEN’S LIBBER?”
**NOTE: I have used the renown BUZZ WORD vocabulary term ” WOMEN’S LIBBER” as a LITMUS TEST, as this SHE writer, has often noted that it is ignorantly assigned to an any apostolic (mostly Western European, solid white, Caucasian heritage) female leader….but by apostolic 5 fold offices wrapped in an earth suit of a dark skinned varietY.

 

….NO NEVER ( AND I REPEAT NEVER..no NOT ONCE..) has ANY senior male authority of African descent EVER been anything but OPEN, ACCEPTING and fully RESPECTING …(for they appear to “RIGHTFULLY PERCEIVE and DISCERN the authentic me from first from the inside out..due to many of them having a very high accuracy in DISCERNMENT OF HUMAN PERSONS skill)*
(*NOTE: This is based upon the writer’s own subjective over all impression…)

AND ALSO: THIS “In Christ liberated,” non man hating, Western European American female leader writer specifically uses this WOMEN’S LIBBER to GET THE READER’S FULL ATTENTION. AND the She takes time to explain the deep reason for her USING this precise TERM to illustrate the immense amount of far away apostolic female leader JUDGING, accuser labeling which often takes place out (mostly) on ministry front lines.

 

POINT: INCREASINGLY SADLY, the non novice writer has discerned that this is a twisted ministry bad tasting FRUIT spawned by religious snap judgment, underlying gender bias, big emotional apostolic insecurity, yet not to omit that ANY FORM OF AFAR OFF SPECULATIVE ACCUSER JUDGING, PRESUMPTIVE ACCUSATIVE FEAR BASED SIN SPYING, APOSTOLIC BIG CHAUVINSIM, LEGALISTIC OVERSEER PHARISEE SIN SPYING…many of these stem from the closet internal real SIN of arrogance, faith gone awry and/or the PERVERTED twisted abuse of the SEERISH GIFTING.

 

EXAMINING LEVI’S TRIBAL HEBREW HERO ROLE
.
Ancestral Roots Descending Down from Patriarch Levi

 

BECAUSE THE BIBLE names LEVI as the head of one of the world famous 12 Tribes of Israel,it then implies that stemming from Levi’s fertile loins would be numerous progeny.

 

AND LEVI’S being a PATRIARCHAL FATHER, GRAND FATHER, would imply that Levi then in some method, be it hands on or not, would have shepherded them, role modeled for them as imparted into each and every one of them…meaning for both GOOD and VERY BAD via his NATURAL DNA as well as his SPIRITUAL LEADER, FALLEN SIN NATURE ONE.

 

THUS, as the Hebrew tribes multiplied, and the rules of the Levitical Law were inscribed, not only was Patriarch Levi’s own natural DNA passed down, but also family resemblances, family traits and big and small generational tendencies toward sin.

(as Old Testament law tells us) so were his generation chaotic repeated dysfunctions and proclivities toward certain weaknesses and chief iniquities. So it will be very important, as well as very interesting to note what Patriarch Levi was like as well as how he grew, in his natural childhood home, father, mother, siblings environment.

ASIDE: RESOURCE HELPFUL ARTICLE FOUND BY THE WRITER BY JOHN PIPER, which tit for tat goes through the SINS OF THE FATHER’S BEING PASSED DOWN TO THE 3rd and 4th generations.

 

STILL, we need to remember that we are NOT living in the Old Testament, Legalistic Law days, when means that when we repent and ask Jesus into our heart as personal Lord and Savior, that once we accept HIM, he removes all of our sin (all kinds) as JESUS CHRSIT “took all our sins upon himself” as the New Testament SCAPE GOAT; in fact, Jesus fulfilled every Law and paid the penalty for us with this shed blood. NOW all we have to do is accept this v by believing it by FAITH via Gods Great Free Gift of Grace (faith that we do not have to earn it, nor deserve it).

THE MATURE WRITER’S USE OF VOCABULARY, WORDS AND TERMS

THE WRITER’S (APOSTOLIC SELAH NOT DOGMA) VIEW OF THE WORDS; LAW, LEVI, PATRIARCH, MATRIARCH, SERVANT MINISTRY, (the writer’s own coined usage of “OLD TESTAMENT LEVITICAL PATRIARCHISM AND SUBSERVIENT SR MATRIARCHISM)..all of which ought to stir up a lot of religious hornets. BUT that’s the non popular leader turf.

 

NOTE: While “Levitical Patriarchism/Matriarchism“/patriarchalism, matriarchalism,etc terms/ words have never been spoken around THESE EARS we will now coin them, yet if I am amiss and YES, someone else began this concept, if so, then someone please (meaning respectfully) notify me. Email: dfwleader@gmail.com

CLARIFICATION OF IN HOUSE MINISTRY USE OF TERMS:

OUR IN HOUSE VERSIONS (what WE mean) when we use the SIMPLE WORD PATRIARCH, MATRIARCH COMPARED TO OLD TESTAMENT LEVITICAL PATRIARCH, LEVITICAL MATRIARCH

 

APOSTOLIC TCL/DFWLOF USE OF TERMS “LEVITICAL PATRIARCH, LEVITICAL MATRIARCH means an Old Testament Legalist, who is not ORGANICALLY 100 percent FREE from the OT Law. And usually they have formed accuser bias, leader/ministry, even national stereotypes. IFFM is takes a stand against ACCUSER ENABLING DOCTRINES , ALL FORMS OF BIGOTRY, BIAS, CONTROL, DOMINATING DOCTRINES, ANY WORSHIP OF HIERARCHY, FAMOUS CELEBRITY OFFICES and choose to see each HUMAN BEING MADE IN GOD’s IMAGE (PSALM 139 ) as a Unique person, not through unclean lenses of racism, genderism, ageism,celebrity -elitism, and /or any denomonational, religious stereotype.

IN TCL, DFWLOF being referred to as a OT LP (Old Testament Levitical PATRIARCH or LP MATRIARCH is not any form of a compliment.)

 

SIMPLE USE OF THE FAMILY WORD PATRIARCH, FEMALE MATRIARCH: when I, our team, mention any of the following, this has nothing connected with A RELIGIOUS DOMINATING SPIRIT but rather they both describe a type of personality which is we associate with a human, ministry FAMILY,and it can be extremely positive.

 

To be (meaning GOOD, safe, spiritually/emotionally supportive, healthy) PATRIARCH, or MATRIARCH in OUR MEANING implies either a man or woman, who is very solid, steady, an anchor human personality…and probably the head of an entire body, clan, family. AND these mostly ANCHOR family leaders may or may not be stayed, reserved, conservative OR else free spirited and NOT. ANY

 

OUR IMPLIED MEANING OF LP (Levitical Patriarch) IN NEW TESTAMENT MINISTRY: The LP, MP are mostly well intentioned technically dominating, chief or supportive, leader anchor dispositions, gone awry. Hence this doctrinal debriefing…

A GRAY AREA that must be prayerfully discerned( as it transcends immaturity to becoming mature, and which is often a pet Bible leader doctrine..which is internally passed down via Ministry Mentors and Spiritual Dads…traditions and apostolic relationships associated, meaning emotionally imprinted, may be imparted and apostolicaly human mentored…with a need to defrag what is OLD PASSED DOWN, ACCEPTED TRADITION, WORD OF MOUTH, from what the BIBLE ACTUALLY SAYS in the nonlegalistic New Testament.

 

DOCTRINAL ASIDE: Ephesians 4 says we each are to abide by commonly held doctrine (example: one Lord, one faith, one baptism) Even Hebrews 6:2 ” Of the doctrine of baptisms, and of laying on of hands, and of resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment.”

SELAH.

EVERY SINGLE ONE OF US must RISE UP to submit to God’s WHOLE COUNSEL is key. *Yet I agree, that abiding by the choices of many very different leaders might be extremely frustrating.

 

Yet God’s WORD in Ephesians 6:1 “To walk in meekness and lowliness” and “enduring love” one with another…” And each of us must not refuse to let this prevail.

 

THUS THE writer submits, suggests, using the SPIRITUAL REMAINING FRUIT of JAMES 3:17 as a model for disagreements.

“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”

** and to the best of this extremely imperfect writer’s self knowledge, she tries hard to model James 3:17

CLOSING APOSTOLIC SELAH (SELAH: Pause and consider the deepest implications..)
