PART 2 LAUNCHING OUR NEW DAY: THE THEOLOGY & VISION: BEHIND IFFM

This is a part 2 about deeply “resurrecting” THE IFFM and is about Ephesians Bible theology, plus includes my wild experience in VA with the Holy Spirit 2 week  visitation, which preceded the “gift of THE IFFM revelation.” *Part 1 is about the personal experience behind the scenes and while this was a function, ready to do the works of the Lord as far back as 1996 in a 501c3, it was set down due to what was occurring, (BUT NOW WE”RE BACK)

 ABOVE:  IS THE REAL LOGO: (within the black from /other words) And it was “dropped into my spirit” and added to. through the years (more later on that) see logo explanation at top  of home page

THE BIBLE: 1986This first part was ‘given to me” by the Lord while in ministry in the state of Virginia. I saw an inner vision of the Bible Open to 2 Timothy 3:16-17 “ All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: verse 17 That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.”
THE CROSS: The Cross behind it, and the Glory Rays to remember to keep it the GOOD NEWS

THE EAGLE :Somewhere in mid-late 1990s “the  EAGLE” the symbol of the office prophet, standing on, balanced by God’s Holy Scripture Word

A Famous Worshipper Below: As am peaceful in my doctrine, set of beliefs, somber theology as it solemnly occurs, yet JOYFUL ENERGIZED and REFRESHING, at times “JUBILANT” in our praise!

Introduction & IFFM Ministry Explanation

Dr. Taveau D’Arcy functions in the senior dimensions of all five of the Ephesians 4 offices — apostle, prophet, evangelist, pastor, and teacher — but primarily as a sent one in the Pauline sense (Galatians 1:1–2). This calling is not a title to elevate self, nor a “grand superstar” model. Rather, it is a collaborating, equipping, and advising office for seasoned leaders.

NOTE: This is just the prophetic apostle ministry Cross Cultural, inclusive ,not at all biased ministry of Paul..And it is like a Paul for he (pure Paul)  was “not hand picked or mentored by Jesus directly” but came in later, and  was imparted to, and had revelation by, from the Lord God Himself.

And Paul stated that he was, “not sent out by  a ministry group, neither by single minister man, but by Jesus Christ, and God the Father” (Gal. 1:1), this ministry is established as a resource — not a top-down, Submissionite, or controlling system. Each man and woman of God retains the freedom to believe, to hear the Lord, and to operate as He directs them. (Paul again in Philippians 2:12 “work out your own salvation with fear and trembling”)

Dr. Taveau also functions in the pattern  of Paul in Galatians 1:1-2 office, and also in the Acts 17:17 TD’s blessed favorite subculture she names “the barista fellowship living it our Realm” .It’sreal life mega arena— reasoning and engaging both in the fellowships of believers and in the marketplace of business, culture, and society. This dual dimension reflects the early church model of apostolic ministry: faith integrated with daily life, leadership, and community influence.

This fellowship exists as an option — a different perspective for mature men and women leaders of all races, cultures, and ministry expressions. The purpose is to:

• Sharpen iron with iron (Proverbs 27:17).

• Plant divine and innovative ideas for Kingdom advancement.

• Consult and advise seasoned leaders for effectiveness in both ministry and business.

This is not designed for novices or junior offices, nor to create the next celebrity platform. It is instead a call to prepare for the Last Perilous Days (2 Timothy 3:1), to equip leaders for the great harvest, and to help form a Unified Ephesians 4 Community — a leadership body on the same page, operating as Christ’s team.

Such a transformed and mature fellowship of leaders will directly impact society, bringing renewal, righteousness, and a Kingdom witness in critical times.

Concerning

THE INTERNATIONAL FELLOWSHIP FOUNDATIONAL MINISTRIES

Bible History, Authority, Function

The First Church Passage
“Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellowcitizens with the saints, and of the household of God;
And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone;
In whom all the building fitly framed together groweth unto an holy temple in the Lord.”
(Ephesians 2:19–21)

1. Historical & Spiritual Frame (1996 Context, it refers to the pastor, founders own person testimony on the other article, which I plan to link here)

• In 1996, during the Holy Spirit visitation, (following attending an area meeting where the invited speaker addressed “Praying tongues “LOUDLY” for a few days, for at least 30 minutes, ..which I did, then eventually I was “hit” (pleasantly) by the power of the Most High God, His Holy Spirit, like a ‘drunk” (yet I could get up and function to care for the children, the family, my ministry and the music business) So  I could go back into it, as God allowed me free time. I did not exactly understand “IT” or the “know the process” but I had been involved in the power of God in the area and in the USA on my chief studies.

  After it lifted about 2 weeks later, one day  out of the blue, there appeared in spirit. a deep secure “knowing” (big inner vision the WORDS and the Ephesians 2:19-21 Pauline Passage. And as I was a long term, life long Bible scholar, who descended from adept Bible scholars, on both sides of the family and it was very peace (bearing fruit of the TRUE WISDOM FROM ABOVE which is James 3:17.” and had NO FEAR, APPREHENSION, OR RESTLESS PRESSURE (aligned with Apostle Paul 2 Timothy 1:7) I “RECEIVED IT”

• SO this is HOW the
  The International Fellowship of Foundational Ministries ministry was birthed.

• The Pauline explanation you received connects directly with Paul’s ecclesiology: Christ as cornerstone, the apostles and prophets as the divinely ordained foundation layers, and the household of God as the temple of the Spirit.

• This is not a denominational structure but a kingdom governance order, patterned after First Church authority functions rather than human hierarchies.

2. Verse-by-Verse Greek & Hebrew Depth

v.19 — “No more strangers and foreigners, but fellowcitizens…”

• Strangers (Greek: xenos ξένος) = outsider, alienated from covenant.

• Foreigners (Greek: paroikos πάροικος) = a sojourner, one who dwells near but without rights.

• Fellowcitizens (Greek: sympolitēs συμπολίτης) = co-citizens, joint members of the same polity/kingdom.

• Household of God (Greek: oikeios tou Theou οἰκεῖος τοῦ Θεοῦ) = intimate family dwelling under the Father’s roof; in Hebrew mindset, bayit (בַּיִת) = both family and dynasty.

** Please Note  Office/Governance Insight:**
This establishes spiritual citizenship rights. Leadership is not about control but stewardship. Apostles, prophets, pastors, teachers, evangelists (Eph. 4:11) govern not as landlords but as stewards of a household.

v.20 — “Built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone”

• Built upon (Greek: epoikodoméō ἐποικοδομέω) = to build up, to layer like architecture.

• Foundation (Greek: themelios θεμέλιος) = the substructure laid first; from tithēmi = to appoint/ordain.

• Apostles (apostolos ἀπόστολος) = “sent ones,” governmental envoys who establish order and doctrine.

• Prophets (prophētēs προφήτης) = those who speak forth God’s counsel, correcting and aligning.

• Chief cornerstone (Greek: akrogōniaios ἀκρογωνιαῖος) = the binding stone that locks the two walls together (Jew + Gentile, heaven + earth).

• Hebrew parallel: pinnah (פִּנָּה) = corner, turning-point, leader or ruler (see Psalm 118:22).

 ** Note Please Office/Governance Insight **
The apostle and prophet are foundational offices, but not replacements for Christ. They function as base layers of order and revelation, aligned only because Christ is the plumb line.

v.21 — “In whom all the building fitly framed together groweth unto an holy temple in the Lord”

• Fitly framed together (Greek: sunarmologeō συναρμολογέω) = to join closely like body parts or stones precisely cut.

• Groweth (auxanō αὐξάνω) = organic increase, not manufactured expansion.

• Holy temple (naos hagios ναὸς ἅγιος) = inner sanctuary, dwelling of God’s presence.

• Hebrew hekal (הֵיכָל) = palace/temple; a royal dwelling.

***DULY NOTE:  Office/Governance Insight**:

AND IT’S NOT ABOUT THE BUILDING, FELLOWSHIP SIZE It’s about the FUNCTION among ,and FOR and BY the PEOPLE”
The church is not static masonry but living architecture. Apostolic-prophetic governance exists only to ensure proper alignment so that the temple (corporate Body) can house the presence of God.

3. Pauline Explanation & Ministry Pattern

Paul frames ministry leadership not as domination but as servant-foundation:

• Apostles = wise master builders (1 Cor. 3:10).

• Prophets = revelatory plumb lines ensuring alignment.

• Christ = the cornerstone, without whom all governance collapses.

• All saints = living stones (1 Peter 2:5), equally part of the temple.

Thus, “The International Fellowship of Foundational Ministries” aligns directly with this Pauline blueprint:

• It emphasizes foundational truth over cultural trends.

• It recognizes governmental offices without elevating them above Christ.

• It exists to steward God’s household as a fellowship, not an empire.

CLARIFICATION
IFFM, EORR Cross Body Unity, The EORR Cross Body Unity Ministry Fellowship, Mentoring, Divine Appointment (no membership) Gatherings, also Taveau D’Arcy Creative Leadership

 EACH exists as an option — a different perspective for mature men and women leaders of all races, cultures, and ministry expressions. The purpose is to:

• Sharpen iron with iron (Proverbs 27:17).

• Plant divine and innovative ideas for Kingdom advancement.

• Consult and advise seasoned leaders for effectiveness in both ministry and business.

This is not designed for novices or junior offices, nor to create the next celebrity platform. It is instead a call to prepare for the Last Perilous Days (2 Timothy 3:1), to equip leaders for the great harvest, and to help form a Unified Ephesians 4 Community — a leadership body on the same page, operating as Christ’s team.

Pauline Explanation for Today

Paul taught that the church is a temple of people, not a structure of stone. Leadership is foundational — apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors, and teachers — yet always submitted to Christ as cornerstone.

In the same way, The International Fellowship of Foundational Ministries is not built to centralize authority but to resource, consult, and collaborate with mature leaders across cultures and contexts. Its purpose is to:

• Equip leaders to serve, not dominate.

• Provide perspective without enforcing uniformity.

• Foster unity among diverse ministers for Kingdom impact.

When aligned in this Pauline order, the Body of Christ can mature into a Unified Ephesians 4 Community, which not only strengthens the household of faith but also transforms society.

This is non elite equipping, We not target others who are different from ourselves. We practice, let go and let God. I believe in “ZERO PRESSURE TO ACHIEVE IT. NO SENSELESS STRIVING,  NO DUTY BOUND PRESSURED PERFORMANCE, Simply..just be LED in a Private ongoing Personal RELATIONSHIP with the SAVIOR..day in day out..this is the perspective: 

Psalm 127 :1 “Unless the Lord builds the house (prophetic office/house ministry) then those who labor, labor in vain”

And Psalm 110:1 “Preserve Quality of Life” “The Lord said to my lord, Sit at my right hand while I make your enemies my footstool.”

THIS IS one day in one day out “LIFE IN GOD’S OVERCOMING ENDURING BIG PROCESS WHILE MAKING, BIG, LITTLE OR NEXT NO OBSERVABLE PROGRESS”
