APOSTOLIC NOTE: One cannot say it ALL about any deep, subjective HOT TOPIC, such as the word OFFICE OF THE PROPHET, OT, NT SEER, AND APOSTLE even in a WEEK much less one or two video, articles.
REGARDING THE FOLLOWING VINTAGE ARTICLE:
Today we are reposting this from 2011….prior to APOSTOLIC RELATIONSHIP THEOLOGY officially was presented. TAVEAU was commissioned by the Lord(from around age 24 onward) to study the many different “Ye Must Be Born Again” Bible believing Christian leader diverse USA big and extra small multicultural and GIFTED GROUPS.
Beginning 1991, God first directed into her very first PROPHETIC MEETING, when she was invited to help with the worship. It wa there she received her very first ever, prophetic word, yet because her RELATIONSHIP with the adventurous LORD, she never really received more than 2-3 since that period of time. However, this very first prophetic word is an interesting one to apostolically share: “Taveau, You are “DIVERSIFIED OPERATIONS IN THE SPIRIT” and “SUPPORT MINISTRY TO LEADERS.” (of course there was more, but this is more important to apostolic senior, prophetic ministry.)
And at first, Taveau did not realize it but following that, Holy Spirit led her to many TRUE PROPHETIC BIBLE TEACHING and WORSHIP PURE …as well as on occasion, similar ministry which was not quite as as the many multicultural Holy Spirit Real Moves and national Holy Spirit outpourings.

TAVEAU D’ARCY CREATIVE LEADERSHIP: SPIRIT OF PROPHECY PIONEERING LEADER EQUIPPING
© 2011 Taveau D’Arcy All rights rseserved
EXPLANATION
Apostle Taveau trains ministers on the “spirit of prophecy.” We have researched the many different primarily US charismatic, word of faith and true prophetic, international, pentecostal Bible teaching flows long enough to understand that NO TWO MOVEMENTS view the words “prophet” or “prophecy” or “spirit of prophecy” in exactly the same way, meaning or spiritual emphasis.
Taveau D’Arcy purposes to decode the simple “spirit of prophecy” to make it easy for those who choose not to pray in a prayer language and the many that do, all find it very non-dogmatic, not overly superspiritual and above all, NOT dominating or spooky.
She emphasizes that “the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy” (Revelation19:10 ) which implies that any body who moves in the gifts of the spirit, including the spirit of prophecy or one who “walks in the office of the prophet” (Ephesians 4) must give the similar fruit of the Savior, Jesus Christ, whom Acts 10:38 describes as “who went about doing good.”
Professor D’Arcy also notes that when the 5 church offices were first listed in the book of Ephesians, they were all spelled with lower case letters, to emphasize servant, house to house, non elitist, definitely non stereotypical true Biblical spiritual authority.
Taveau D’Arcy also points out what she witnesses the most on Christian media and in use throughout the United States primarily charismatic, pentecostal local assemblies: three main forms by which certain born again sub people groups/certain denominations, mostly non denominations, refer to as ‘moving in the gifts of PROPHECY.”
- Many would use the word “prophecy” to imply those who use the End Times Bible prophecies to point to the signs of the times: (example: Perry Stone, Hal Lindsay, Pastor John Hagee, etc)
- Then there are some people who would regard “the spirit of prophecy” to mean the “word from the Lord given in an open assembly, local church meeting” after someone has given a message in loud tongues, which then should be interpreted by some body else. (many Assembly of God, many others)
- Then, there are persons who get the “word from the Lord” to give a word that edify, comforts and strengthens groups or individuals, be it from a famous preaching, TV pulpit or standing in the grocery line, when moved by the unction (leading) of the inward witness of God’s Holy Spirit.
Taveau Creative Leadership Ministry encourages pastors, ministers and lay persons, ti discern what the inward witness is leading them to do, by use of Bible leadership equipping and impartation, the spirit of wisdom and revelation, stirring up the gifts and renewing old traditional frameworks of preconceived religious pastoral thinking. IFFM is offers “pastor core training” to provoke new insight and wisdom to past great Bible teachings from your own seminary, Bible college previous thinking.
Yes, there is the gift of the spirit referred to as “the word of wisdom” and/or “word of knowledge” Yet there is also the “prophetic word from the Lord” that comes during the time of deep Holy Spirit led worship (similar to David prophesying on his instrument to minister to the badly oppressed King Saul) Dr. Taveau D’Arcy will follow the Spirit of Prophecy Equipping with Flowing in the Spirit of Prophecy in Revelatory Fine Arts, Worship.
NOBODY, including Apostolic senior professor Taveau, truly knows it ALL about God’s true meaning for sending the free spirit of prophecy to the born again Church. What the Bible warns of is “being puffed up and proud by mere knowledge”.
“Knowledge puffs up…but love edifies.” **
**The only thing that Dr. Taveau D’Arcy is concerned about of in ministering on the spirit of prophecy is any knee jerk, oversimplified, (as in “I already KNOW IT ALL!!”) as in major stereotypical, etched in religious spiritual concrete traditional or fear minded human trained/ as in religious thinking.
So in our DFW LOF, TAVEAU CREATIVE LEADERSHIP MINISTRY spirit of prophecy Bible equipping, we strongly place far more value on any person, leader, pastor, office of the true prophet, being loving, teachable, humble and certainly not being dominating, super spiritual, too spooky or elitist. The Bible states” The greatest of these is LOVE” …..rather than naturally or spiritually gifted, talented or intelligent.
TCL places much more emphasis on discerning the fruit produced by anyone with a title, including that of any spiritual office, especially the fruit of the human person who does walk in the office of the prophet as well as the by product (spiritual/emotional true fruit) also produced by the teaching of that same” Spiritual Office of the Prophet.**
** note this same litmus test must also discern, judge the spiritual fruit (as well as the leaders own actions, that of their spiritual off spring) produced by ALL “official Church offices” such as apostle, teacher, pastor, evangelist.
DFW LOF, TCL offers what we believes is a key verse to help train all pastors, leaders in accurately perceiving the fruit of any prophetic, pastoral, apostolic, etc. wisdom, training or leadership fruit: Measure the fruit by James 3:17,
“But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be entreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy.” (PLEASE NOTE this is at the CORE of servant APOSTLIC RELATIONSHIP THEOLOGY http://www.relationshiptheology.wordpress.com)
TCL stirs up the spiritual, fine arts, ministry gifts for use in “prophetic evangelism” but never ever trains persons that they are “walking in the office of the prophet” or to call themselves “Prophet So and So.” or Apostle So and So.”
TCL ministers on and through the spirit of the teacher, the evangelist, the office of the prophet, the servant apostle” but never does it refer to itself or any of its team members as “Prophets” or Apostles.” It is best to be like the Savior who said, “who do you say that I am?”
TCL firmly believes in knowing when God needs you to take off your holy mantle to remove yourself from the work of prophetic ministry leadership and once again, to just “be like Jesus Christ who went about doing good”
In our example: Jesus had time to play with the children. In other words, Jesus never took Himself or His “Prophetic Office” too seriously..He plainly demonstrated that He was approachable, very open, truly humble and relatable. that even the little children were not too scared to get close to Him.. And evidently, Jesus must have had a fun, sense of humor side..as little children love grown ups who receive them with joy, since this makes innocent youn children feel relaxed and confident.
And by this we can perceive that the Savior, who dealt with many life and death, even demonic, human persons…never once turned mentally tough, hardened or aloof …or else the children could have viewed Jesus as mean, suspicious, critical, dominating or stand offish.
