NOTE: (After graduating from an area University, and after being married, prior to any children)..After being totally sold out to follow the Lord age 17, (Jesus People, after accepting the Lord first age 9, then rededicating age 12) AND While sitting in a 1/2 Presbyterian, half charismatic Church, when Taveau was 24, she sensed the Lord call her to study His multicultural, born again Bible believing Body: to know their beliefs, pet peeves, red flag buzz words, worship and ministry leader styles. God’s Purpose for this: “So that later, you can build bridges of understanding, commonality and unity between My People.” Amazingly, this was just just following the Jesus People servant leader movement, and about the time many of the charismatic, pentecostal and prophetic, apostolic real Holy Spirit, Bible teaching ways and revivals, began. And it was right after servant leader Billy Graham and before Madison Avenue, Hollywood increasing mass affects on Christian magazines, TV, now media.
Starting out in College, Taveau was involved in InterVarsity Christian Fellowship, but met the gentle Holy Spirit her junior year. And following graduating, God led Taveau to participate in cross denominational racial healing, ministry leader repentance ongoing regional, suburban/urban cross denominational intercession for UNITY and REVIVAL. For many years, prior to DFW, Dr Taveau had what was then called THE ENCOURAGING WORD Newsletter, Bible study,area TV, radio and also area prayer for sr pastors….their families and ministry and for denominational unity.
Taveau was raised by two contented, happy, non legalistic, and non biased, non racist, not into show biz, Sr Pastor authentic deep south, gentle spirited Southern Baptist parents. And they themselves descended from several generations of true Bible Scholar ancestors, who were Baptist, Presbyterian and Methodist. And none of these were “Bible thumpers” Pharisee Sin spy-ers” and/or “NO Fun” Fundamentalists or ‘Calvinists’ “into politics”…. And not a one of Taveau’s many ministry, apostolic leader relatives were gossips or accusers. But rather emotionally mature, healthy and stable Noble Berean Bible students…meaning them all. And while there were no “pentecostals” Taveau was raised to regard them without any bias…as well as no racial, cultural, other belief’s type of bias, and/or also she witnessed NO competition, denominationalism or political involvement along with Jesus following. For Taveau descended from true Christ followers. And for all of this, the She Taveau gives them each much honor.
While T’s dear dad did graduate from the Baptist Theological Seminary in Louisville, KY, and both her sister and her amazing dear mother (following her father’s sudden death) attended and graduated from Rhema Bible Training Center…when Taveau asked the Lord if He wanted her to attend a Bible college or seminary..He very much surprised the Her and told her “No” and then directed her to this verse, I JOHN 2:27 “You will have no need that any man shall be your teacher, but the Holy Spirit will be your teacher.” (In hindsight, sort of resembles being “homeschooled by the Spirit of God and coming down from many Noble Berean emotionally healthy Bible teachers.(each one of which was also “directed by God’s Holy Spirit inward witness and grounded by His Holy Bible.)
While it requires far too much room to delve into great depth…. God allowed Taveau the grace and adventure to enjoy Jesus People,Vineyard, word of faith, TV Media, Famous Christian Magazines,all of the Christian worship….and eventually witnessed the rise of the many legalistic winds of doctrine, also the Trends and Media affected fads..plus noteworthy “deliverance ministry” and the prophetic, and also Big Renewals, Revivals some of which included signs and real wonders. During some of this Taveau was SENT to Christian original fountainheads of worship and prophetic teaching, such as her former homestate of Virginia, Tulsa, OK, North Carolina, all around Central Florida, Alabama, PA and now DFW metroplex. And OH what an amazing adventurous Journey.
This description barely scratches the surface. More another time.
Chief apostle, Pastor Taveau now teaches “Cross Body Unity” Book of Ephesians 4 which is ONE BODY and BIG MULTICULTURAL DIVERSE UNIFIED BIG COMMUNITY..and Galatians 1:1-2 nonlegalistic authority.WHICH is “her SANS DENOMINATIONAL Christ following brand, type.” SHE is SENT to specifically to REAL MEN and LEADER REAL WOMEN. (She inquired of the Lord “lord, if Apostle Paul was SENT to the Gentiles, and Apostle Peter was SENT to the Jews, to whom is this apostle SENT to?” To which the Lord replied, “THE SLACKSWEARERS” (Note: He appears to have a riotous sense of humor! And I guess that the persons who do not believe in wearing SLACKS, must already have the holy fear of the Lord…?)

NOW: MAIN TOPIC
“The PHARISEES..weren’t FAIR, you see? While they gossiped, accused Christ behind His back, undermining Him among their parishioners…rumoring and speculating among themselves, in Matthew 23 apostolic bold senior minister straight forward fashion, Jesus Christ addressed them out in the open, in public and before His ministry disciples.
This would lead very many around the region to question and marvel: “WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO OUR ONCE PRECIOUS, MEEK, EXTREMELY MILD….DOCILE AND DEAR .. SWEEEEET LITTLE BABY JESUS!!?? Making a few auguste seasoned, speculating sages scratch their hoary heads and comment, “Evidently Jesus has big unforgiveness baggage toward the elder Pharisees… Plus …maybe Minister Jesus has a fear of being “submitted, under authority!”
JESUS CHRIST’S VERY OWN LEADER WORDS MATTHEW
Matthew 23 New King James Version (NKJV)
Woe to the Scribes and Pharisees
23 Then Jesus spoke to the multitudes and to His disciples, 2 saying: “The scribes and the Pharisees sit in Moses’ seat. 3 Therefore whatever they tell you [a]to observe, that observe and do, but do not do according to their works; for they say, and do not do. 4 For they bind heavy burdens, hard to bear, and lay them on men’s shoulders; but they themselves will not move them with one of their fingers. 5 But all their works they do to be seen by men. They make their phylacteries broad and enlarge the borders of their garments. 6 They love the [b]best places at feasts, the best seats in the synagogues, 7 greetings in the marketplaces, and to be called by men, ‘Rabbi, Rabbi.’ 8 But you, do not be called ‘Rabbi’; for One is your [c]Teacher, [d]the Christ, and you are all brethren. 9 Do not call anyone on earth your father; for One is your Father, He who is in heaven. 10 And do not be called teachers; for One is your Teacher, the Christ. 11 But he who is greatest among you shall be your servant. 12 And whoever exalts himself will be [e]humbled, and he who humbles himself will be [f]exalted.
13 “But woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you shut up the kingdom of heaven against men; for you neither go in yourselves, nor do you allow those who are entering to go in. 14 [g]Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you devour widows’ houses, and for a pretense make long prayers. Therefore you will receive greater condemnation.
15 “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you travel land and sea to win one proselyte, and when he is won, you make him twice as much a son of [h]hell as yourselves.
16 “Woe to you, blind guides, who say, ‘Whoever swears by the temple, it is nothing; but whoever swears by the gold of the temple, he is obliged to perform it.’ 17 Fools and blind! For which is greater, the gold or the temple that [i]sanctifies the gold? 18 And, ‘Whoever swears by the altar, it is nothing; but whoever swears by the gift that is on it, he is obliged to perform it.’ 19 Fools and blind! For which is greater, the gift or the altar that sanctifies the gift? 20 Therefore he who [j]swears by the altar, swears by it and by all things on it. 21 He who swears by the temple, swears by it and by Him who [k]dwells in it. 22 And he who swears by heaven, swears by the throne of God and by Him who sits on it.
23 “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have neglected the weightier matters of the law: justice and mercy and faith. These you ought to have done, without leaving the others undone. 24 Blind guides, who strain out a gnat and swallow a camel!
25 “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you cleanse the outside of the cup and dish, but inside they are full of extortion and [l]self-indulgence. 26 Blind Pharisee, first cleanse the inside of the cup and dish, that the outside of them may be clean also.
27 “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you are like whitewashed tombs which indeed appear beautiful outwardly, but inside are full of dead men’s bones and all uncleanness. 28 Even so you also outwardly appear righteous to men, but inside you are full of hypocrisy and lawlessness.
29 “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! Because you build the tombs of the prophets and [m]adorn the monuments of the righteous, 30 and say, ‘If we had lived in the days of our fathers, we would not have been partakers with them in the blood of the prophets.’
31 “Therefore you are witnesses against yourselves that you are sons of those who murdered the prophets. 32 Fill up, then, the measure of your fathers’ guilt. 33 Serpents, brood[n] of vipers! How can you escape the condemnation of hell? 34 Therefore, indeed, I send you prophets, wise men, and scribes: some of them you will kill and crucify, and some of them you will scourge in your synagogues and persecute from city to city, 35 that on you may come all the righteous blood shed on the earth, from the blood of righteous Abel to the blood of Zechariah, son of Berechiah, whom you murdered between the temple and the altar. 36 Assuredly, I say to you, all these things will come upon this generation.
Jesus Laments over Jerusalem
37 “O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the one who kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to her! How often I wanted to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, but you were not willing! 38 See! Your house is left to you desolate; 39 for I say to you, you shall see Me no more till you say, ‘Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!’ ”
