#1 THE NATION OF ISAIAH — INTRODUCTION

A Word of the Lord to Those Who Have Ears to Hear

“He that trusteth in his riches shall fall…” Proverbs 11:28

“Truly God is good to Israel, even to such as are of a clean heart.” Psalm 73:1

My name is Pastor Taveau D’Arcy. I am the founder of the International Fellowship of Foundational Ministries (IFFM) and the Equal Opportunity, Real Respect, Cross-Body Unity Movement (EORR), as well as several apostolic doctrinal teaching websites, the EORR Cross Body Unity Ministry Fellowship.(online since 2015)

What follows is not casual teaching.
This is a word of the Lord for those who have ears to hear what the Spirit is saying to the Church in this hour.

I am beginning a prophetic, apostolic teaching series entitled:

THE NATION OF ISAIAH

This series will contain snapshots, portraits, and prophetic parallels drawn from the Book of Isaiah—its Messiah prophecies, its warnings, its loving rebukes, and its sober instructions to God’s covenant people.

I believe this series concerns America—and specifically American ministry, especially the charismatic and prophetic systems that have become entangled in money, power, titles, branding, turf-guarding, and institutional vanity.
I do not say this lightly.
I know this is so.

THE WORD GIVEN IN 2015- 2017

In 2015-2017, while in Dallas/Fort Worth, Texas, the Lord gave me a warning word for the Nation of God’s people—for the ministries, apostles, prophets, pastors, and leaders. The word centered around:

Isaiah 1–10
The Isaiah “Woe” in Isaiah 5:20
Its spiritual parallel to Psalm 115:4–8

The message was simple and terrifying:

The people of God—its leaders—had exchanged the living God for little-g gods.

Not statues of stone.
Not idols made of wood or silver.
But religious systems,
ministry fame,
prosperity pride,
image,
money,
platform,
celebrity influence,
and false security in their own devices.

God called it vanity.
The Bible calls it idolatry.

Their spiritual necks became thick, heavy, and fat with self-importance—so thick that they could not bow, turn, listen, or discern the voice of the Lord.

“Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.”
— Matthew 5:8 KJV/

Many leaders were no longer pure in heart.
And because the heart was not pure, the hearing was blocked.

THE CONNECTION — ISAIAH 10:27

The true purpose of God’s anointing is expressed in:

Isaiah 10:27 (KJV)

“And it shall come to pass in that day, that his burden shall be taken away from off thy shoulder, and his yoke from off thy neck, and the yoke shall be destroyed because of the anointing.”

But the Spirit showed me:

They were not yoked by the enemy.

They were yoked by their own spiritual blockage.

They were not “destroying the yoke because of the anointing.”
They were fat-necked—not with the glory of God,
but with mixture and self-willed religion.

Thus the body of Christ was weakened.
Thus the ministries were exposed.
Thus a fierce nation, spiritually symbolized by Assyria, stood at the gate.

The danger was not that Assyria was strong.
The danger was that God’s people were spiritually dull, blocked, and blind—primarily because of money, vanity, and mixture

PSALM 115:4–8 (KJV)

This was the parallel the Lord emphasized:

4 “Their idols are silver and gold, the work of men’s hands.
5 They have mouths, but they speak not: eyes have they, but they see not:
6 They have ears, but they hear not: noses have they, but they smell not:
7 They have hands, but they handle not: feet have they, but they walk not: neither speak they through their throat.
8 They that make them are like unto them; so is every one that trusteth in them.”

The Spirit said:

**“They have created ministry systems that cannot see Me.

They have built platforms that cannot hear Me.
They have trusted in their own works, and so they have become like the idols they crafted.”**

This was the essence of the warning.

WHY THIS SERIES MATTERS IN 2025 AND AFTER

The Book of Isaiah is not ancient history.
It is a mirror for the modern Church—its leaders, teachers, prophets, apostles, and systems.

Isaiah reveals:

A people of covenant who lost their hearing
A nation blessed by God yet thick-necked, vain, and blind
A religious culture rich in ceremony but bankrupt in purity
A priesthood unable to recognize their own drift
A God who pleads, reasons, warns, and restores

This is America’s Church today.

This series is not political.
It is prophetic, biblical, and apostolic.
It is a call to:

Repentance
Purity of heart
Discernment
Reverence
The fear of the Lord
Turning from idol systems back to the living God

This is the beginning.
Many chapters, portraits, and teachings will follow. This includes the potrayal of office ministry and the “reasons’ for Hebrews 10:25 “continue to c to fellowship with the saints’
