The righteous shall flourish like a palm tree…- Psalm 92:12 NKJV

Flourish is the Hebrew word, parach.  It means to bud, blossom, grow, break out, spread, spring up, and prosper.  Palm tree is the Hebrew word tamar which means erect.

THE PALM TREE…

Is resolute.  It stands erect and immovable.

Therefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labor is not in vain in the Lord. – 1 Corinthians 15:58 NKJV

Stands upright and grows straight toward heaven. 

It doesn’t have to climb as many steps or take as many detours.
They have bowed down and fallen; But we have risen and stand upright. – Psalm 20:8 NKJV

Ever green crown can grow to 12-18 feet wide.

but, speaking the truth in love, may grow up in all things into Him who is the head–Christ– – Ephesians 4:15 NKJV

Has a quantity of dense roots instead of a few large ones.   

that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; that you, being rooted and grounded in love, – Ephesians 3:17 NKJV

Roots spread out and hold onto large volumes of soil but grow from nutrients in lots of water.

“but whoever drinks of the water that I shall give him will never thirst. But the water that I shall give him will become in him a fountain of water springing up into everlasting life.” – John 4:14 NKJV

Large base of roots helps keep it stand upright in the worst of storms.

When we are rooted in Christ, we can weather the worst of storms.

Internal fiber is spongy and elastic and can bend up to 45 degrees.

When we receive and exercise grace in times of trouble, we tend to bend  instead of snapping.  It was a gift to us we need to pass it on.
For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: [it is] the gift of God: – Ephesians 2:8 KJV

Endure winds up to 145 miles per hour without breaking.

            But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved. – Matthew 24:13 KJV

Survives fierce storms and never lose their large crowns.

and when the Chief Shepherd appears, you will receive the crown of glory that does not fade away. – 1 Peter 5:4 NKJV

Bears much fruit, like the super nutritious date dates and coconuts. (up to 300 pounds of dates annually)

Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples. – John 15:8 KJV

“Therefoer, by their fruits you will know them. – Matthew 7:20 NKJV

Dates are produced when the tree is from thirty to one hundred years old. 

Now Jesus Himself began [His ministry at] about thirty years of age, being (as was supposed) [the] son of Joseph, [the son] of Heli, – Luke 3:23 NKJV

Very useful, over 350 uses.

We are God’s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them. (Ephesians 2:10)

The Palm tree, shades and shelters.
Its fruit refreshes and nourishes.
Its beauty inspires.
It points to places of water.
It ever praises the Father with its waving fronds.
The palms symbolize victory, triumph, peace, and eternal life. 

After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands; – Revelation 7:9 KJV

I enCOURAGE you to flourish like the palm tree!   Be rooted deep in the love of Christ and produce much fruit.  Stand strong in the Lord.  Draw living water from Him and point others to Him.  Like the palm, you will endure the worst storms of life.  Plus, you want to have those palms to wave at the King in heaven and  now, to show that…they are living memorials] to declare that the Lord is upright and faithful [to His promises]; He is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in Him.

“For who hath despised the day of small things?”-Zechariah 4:10

The first day of vacation, I hit the beach early for sunrise and shelling.  I found very few shells and only two little ones that I would call spectacular.  The second day of vacation led to a 4:30 am rise.  I was still chasing the sunrise and was determined to find a bounty of shells.  So, I headed out to go shelling at one of the best places in the United States, Sanibel Island.  I had been there before in the fall, once, and it was incredible. Expectations were high.  I arrived at the beach while it was still dark.  I exited at first light to wait on dawn.  Can you imagine my surprise and disappointment, when all I saw was millions of little shells?  I decided to just sit and wait for sunrise.  After the sun lit up the sky, I opted to go to another spot-on Captiva, I found the same thing.  Little nothings.  What a bummer!

Kris was reading a book and shared ta quote from Benjamin Disraeli, former Prime Minister of the United Kingdom from 1874-1880:

“Life is too short to be little.”

Little seemed to be a reoccurring theme.  I chewed on this quote and actually came up with my own. 

“Life is too short to belittle.”

According to Webster’s Dictionary, belittle means to make (a person or a thing) seem small or unimportant.  In my head, I had belittled a group of teenagers who had invaded my space on the beach.  I also had belittled all those millions of shells. I has belittle my time with wrong thinking.  I spent day three adjusting my attitude.  I will not belittle anything because everything is a gift of God.

On day four, I departed out cottage with a new attitude.  I finally relaxed and began to breathe.  The water was so clear.  I began to pick up the little shells.  Then I found a perfect fighting conch shell, and another, and another.  I stopped at one patch on the beach and found all of the shells pictured above, as fast as I could pick them up.   They were little and just perfect.  God does great things with little.

For who hath despised the day of little things?  Have we?

We have a small house and we desire a larger one.
We have a miniscule bank account and we want abundance.
We are small in stature and we want to be taller.
We have a modest job and we want one of significance.
We are least in the kingdom of God and think we need to do greater.
We take small steps and we want to see giant results.

Enjoy the little things in life.  Bigger is not always better.

“In many of God’s choice workers He uses a powerful season of small things.  Those days are not a mistake nor are they punishment; they are days of priceless shaping and preparation. They are not days to despise. -David Guzik

I enCOURAGE you to not despise the days of little things nor little shells.  Belittle nothing.  Every day is a gift of God.  Every little thing is a gift from God.  Do not be looking for the next big thing and miss the little in front of you.

Then they brought little children to Him, that He might touch them; but the disciples rebuked those who brought [them].   But when Jesus saw [it], He was greatly displeased and said to them, “Let the little children come to Me, and do not forbid them; for of such is the kingdom of God. – Mark 10:14 NKJV

Ugh!  I am human!  I allowed my flesh to pull me into irritation instead of ministry.  It only took about 24 hours for me to forget everything about “being a minister and serving, when called.”   We resorted to the beach for rest and relaxation.  We were seeking peace and quiet.  We needed time to just be.  We were at the most perfect spot.  To the seaside was not even a short walk, literally,  it was our back yard.  It came complete with palm trees,  coconut trees and a hammock to watch the brilliant yet tranquil sunset.  I told Kris that he might leave, but I was claiming squatter’s rights.  I was never leaving.

The very first day, I was enjoying sitting at the feet of Jesus.  I was gazing out the glass wall of our cottage at the surf, sand, and very few beachcombers.  Our intentions were to join this paradise, shortly.  Out of nowhere, I saw a scene from the television show, Survivor, unfolding before my eyes.  Thirty plus teenagers, proudly bearing their tribe’s flag, invaded our serenity.  They did not pass by.  They stopped and planted their flags, blocking our formerly, unobstructed view.   They could have parked anywhere on the whole beach and yet, they picked our spot.

AND, of all things, it was a church summer camp!  Games ensued and loud screams that seemed as if they would break the sound barrier resounded.  I wanted to scream back.   My “minister” walked out the side door and down the street.  I did not let the Colossians 3 peace that comes from Christ rule in my heart.  You know that verse where we are called to live in peace and to always be thankful.

Therefore, let him who thinks he stands take heed lest he fall. – 1 Corinthians 10:12 NKJV

I fell hard and fast.  I wanted to call the beach patrol.  They were not social distancing.  Besides heaven and Bora Bora, this was the closest I had been to paradise.  It was a teenage invasion.  I could not relax and I was annoyed.

I told one of my sisters in Christ about it.  She laughed loud and hard.   I was supposed to be “ministering to the one beside me,” not thirty, rowdy, church kids.  They could not have been louder if they were throwing a keg party.

By the end of the second day, I had allowed the carousers to steal my peace. Then, my conviction began.  I had failed.  What was wrong with me?  UGH!!! The Holy Spirit dropped this bomb on me:

“These little teenagers were brought to the beach that Jesus might touch them, but Tammy wanted them gone.  She did not welcome the interruption.  When Jesus heard about it, He was greatly displeased and said to Tammy, ‘Let the little children come to Me, and do not forbid them; for of such is the kingdom of God’ “.  –July 2020: 14-15

Nothing like displeasing God the Father, Son and Holy Ghost!  Sadly, He knew I would not react, correctly…

For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, being justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus, – Romans 3:23-24 NKJV

 …But grace, forgives! Thank God for the pardon from the interruption.

I encourage you to still get your minister on.  “For we all stumble in many things. If anyone does not stumble in word, he [is] a perfect man… – James 3:2 NKJV.  What is interrupting your life?  God has people who He wants to touch through you.  We are never on vacation from Jesus nor from serving others.  When we go astray, it is not ok.  However, forgiveness is paid for.  It is always there for the asking and the taking.

Now may the Lord of peace himself give you his peace at all times and in every situation. The Lord be with you all. – 2 Thessalonians 3:16 NLT

As every man hath received the gift, minister the same one to another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God. If any man speak, [let him speak] as the oracles of God; if any man minister, [let him do it] as of the ability which God giveth: that God in all things may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom be praise and dominion for ever and ever. Amen. – 1 Peter 4:11 KJV

As I write this, I know that I am going to be sitting in airport and then on a plane for a couple of hours.  It is also a “time” of “social distancing at least six feet.”  Fear attempts to creep in, as I wonder what  God will ask me to do next.  Will I step in faith?  I shut the door to fear.  I choose to minister (serve or attend) as called.

The other day in the doctor’s office, my spirit was stirring, and I thought I was going to have to act.  I was about to minister to a lady who could hardly walk or breathe, but she was called back for her appointment.  We have to make the most of our opportunities, correct?   I know since I am writing this, I am going to be given a ministry opportunity.  It is a little bit harder to navigate with the fears of the corona virus in peoples mind.  I’ll just follow the lead of the Lord and let him do the talking.

Since I do not work outside the home, a few years back, I was looking for creative ways to make connections with people to share the love of God.  Connections build relationships.  Relationships build trust.  Trust builds faith and confidence.  Leave it to the Holy Spirit.  I was seeking and He directed with this question: “WHO IS SITTING BESIDE YOU?”  He whispered, “You only have to talk to one person at a time, not the whole room.”  I am an introvert, so this really worked for me.  How many times have I sat beside someone at church and just gave them the perfunctory, “Hi. How are you?”  I began to attend to the “one beside me.”  I would introduce myself.  Make conversation and then ask if I could pray with them about anything.  It’s amazing how many different people God has placed beside me at church.

It started at church, but it poured over to football games, business dinners, restaurants, and grocery stores.  It is a little more challenging with the virus, but we will let God handle that. Of course, this just dropped in my Spirit, “Who sits beside you most often?  Family?  Friends? Our spouses? “

We can focus on family members.  We can be intentional about reaching out to them and leaning in.  We can pay special attention to our spouses.  The ones we love should receive our best and that is not always true.  We, or I, take for granted the ones closest to us.

I enCOURAGE you to minister to the one who is sitting beside you.  Attend to their needs.  Serve happily.

(PLEASE READ TOMORROWS!)

Furthermore, then we beseech you, brethren, and exhort [you] by the Lord Jesus, that as ye have received of us how ye ought to walk and to please God, [so] ye would abound more and more. – 1 Thessalonians 4:1 KJV

Exhort means to encouraged greatly; to comfort, beg, beseech, entreat, call to one’s side.  We received many exhortations in the New Testament. Here are few paraphrased:

I exhort you to be of good cheer.  (Acts 27:22)

I exhort you by the Lord Jesus, to walk and to please God,
So, you may abound more and more.  (1 Thessalonians 4:1)

I exhort you to warn them that are unruly.
I exhort you to comfort the feebleminded.
I exhort you to support the weak.
I exhort you to be patient toward all men. (1 Thessalonians 5:14)

I exhort to be sober minded. Exercise self-control and curb your passions. (Titus 2:6)

I exhort you to abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul.  (1 Peter 2:11)

I exhort you that first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men, for kings, presidents, congressmen, governors, mayors, and all who are in authority. (1 Timothy 2:1)

I exhort you to earnestly contend for the faith which was one time delivered unto us the saints (Jude 1:3). The Gospel of Christ was delivered one time for all, no changes and no additions.  There will never be an addition of the Gospel of Tammy nor 1 Stephanie 2:3 that exhorts all to “sparkle” on!

Exhort, reprove, rebuke, with all longsuffering and doctrine.  Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season.  Stand when there is opportunity and when there is not.  (2 Timothy 4:2)

Exhort one another daily. (Hebrews 3:13)

I encourage you to take the advice of the word of God.  I exhort you in the Lord Jesus, that you follow his example about how you ought to walk and please God, just like you are actually doing, and that you excel even more and more.  Pursue a life of purpose and live in a way that expresses gratitude to God for your salvation.

“And So I returned, and considered all the oppressions that are done under the sun: and behold the tears of [such as were] oppressed, and they had no comforter; and on the side of their oppressors [there was] power; but they had no comforter.”- Ecclesiastes 4:1 KJV

Before Jesus died, was resurrected, and rose to heaven, only certain people heard  and walked with God.  They were leaders and voices appointed by God.  Israel then pursued leaders who followed and heard from God.  The Lord changed all of that. When we choose to follow and obey the words of Jesus, then the Holy Spirit abides in us.  The Holy Spirit can be interpreted as the very Breath of God.  Jesus said:

I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you forever; – John 14:16 KJV

Uncomfortable in life?  Uneasy about the present state of the world?  In pain? Anxious? Upset?  Troubled? Restless? Grieved? Depressed?  Go to the only place of rest, the Comforter.  When I have been depressed in the past, I did not want to get out of bed.   I wanted to stay hidden under the protection of my comforter.  The problem, I was seeking the wrong comforter.

The Comforter is the Holy Spirit.
The Comforter teaches us all things.
The Comforter brings to remembrance Jesus words. (John 14:26)

 The Comforter is our Helper.
The Comforter is sent from the Father.
The Comforter is the Spirit of Truth
The Comforter will testify of Jesus. (John 15:26)

 The Comforter provides all comfort.
The Comforter encourages in tribulation.
The Comforter exhorts so that we may be able to
comfort them which are in any trouble.  (2 Corinthians 1:4 KJV)

The Comforter gives us what we need, when we need it.
The Comforter delivers to us what to say and when to say.
The Comforter actually speaks and not us.   (Mark 13:11 NKJV)
‘The Holy Spirit will teach you in that very hour what you ought to say.” – Luke 12:12 NKJV

We got to the doctor when we are sick.  If we do not receive  the answers or results that we desire, we go to another doctor, perhaps an expert.  When we are uneasy, do we immediately, go to the Comforter?  Why not?  When we need answers, encouragement, knowledge, healing, help or words to speak, do we run to the Holy Spirit?  Do we turn to the throne before the phone?

I enCOURAGE you to allow the Comforter entrance into your life.  Permit the very Breath of God to speak to you in your darkest hours.  When you think you are alone, He is there.  When you are at your end, He is there.  Allow the Comforter to comfort you.

“As one whom his mother comforts, so will I comfort you; and you shall be comforted…” -Isaiah 66:13 NKJV

 And Joses, who was also named Barnabas by the apostles (which is translated Son of Encouragement), a Levite of the country of Cyprus, – Acts 4:36 NKJV

Kris and I have always had nicknames for each other.  On our honeymoon, we called each other Jerome and Sheronda.  We have been Moto and Photo; RŌand DŌ.  His contact in my phone is currently KrisP (pronounced like crispy).

Nicknames can be a term of endearment or reproach.  Every name and nickname have meaning.  However, the Bible does not record the interpretation of every name.  Luke thought it necessary to give an exposition of Barnabas’ name.  I find it very interesting that in Acts 4:35, Joseph was nicknamed Barnabas, Son of Encouragement.  Joseph must have been some kind of motivator.  What a legacy!  I would love to be called Daughter of Encouragement, enCOURAGER, or even DOE.  What about you?  What nickname would you like to yield?

Jesus says in John 14:26 that the Father God will send the Holy Spirit, also named the Comforter.

But the Comforter, [which is] the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you. – John 14:26 KJV

 The Greek noun for Comforter is Parakeltos which is translated: Helper, Aid, Advocate, Intercessor, Assistant, Encourager.  It literally means to be called or come to one’s side.

Barnabas simply followed the lead of the Holy Spirit, his Encourager, in encouraging others.  The disciples were afraid of Paul when he came to Jerusalem to join them.  Barnabas came by Paul’s side and encouraged the disciples to accept Paul as a disciple.  Paul in return exhorts us to come along side others and help them.

Therefore comfort each other and edify one another, just as you also are doing. – 1 Thessalonians 5:11 NKJV

 But exhort one another daily, while it is called “Today,” lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin. – Hebrews 3:13 NKJV

Comfort and exhort in the above verses are the same Greek verb, parakaleō.  It means call to one’s side; to call near; to comfort; to console; to encourage and strengthen; to instruct.

The Comforter comforts.  The Intercessor intercedes. The Encourager encourages.  Now, do you see why I would not mind being nicknamed Barnabas? His job was to encourage and so is ours.

I enCOURAGE you to be all God has called you to be.  He has given each of us specific gifts to use to further His kingdom.  What nickname(s) has He given you?  Are you living up to your name?  How about living up to the name, Christian?

Now may our Lord Jesus Christ Himself, and our God and Father, who has loved us and given [us] everlasting consolation and good hope by grace, comfort your hearts and establish you in every good word and work. – 2 Thessalonians 2:16-17 NKJV

“Now, Lord, look on their threats, and grant to Your servants that with all boldness they may speak Your word, by stretching out Your hand to heal, and that signs and wonders may be done through the name of Your holy Servant Jesus.” – Acts 4:29-30 NKJV

Peter and John were full of the Holy Spirit when they were arrested for preaching about Jesus. They spoke with boldness to the Sanhedrin, after they were told to cease and desist speaking about Jesus.  They were released and returned to their own.  They lifted up their voice to God with one accord and then prayed for all boldness.

They had no intentions of not freely and fearlessly continuing to spread the gospel of Jesus. Even though they had previously been endued with power, they were asking for all boldness to speak God’s word.   They asked God to continue to pour forth His word from their mouth.  They knew that could only flow in and through Him.  They asked Him to continue healing and doing signs and wonders through Jesus for His glory.  Boldness was not enough to go against the ruler’s orders.  The knew it would take all boldness to continue on their mission. 

I received an email on July 4, 2020, from Andrew Womack, a pastor in Colorado. It reads:

“We were served a cease and desist warning by our state attorney general on July 2. This was right in the middle of our Summer Family Bible Conference, which went from June 29 – July 3. We had been in contact with our city and county officials and complied with everything they asked except the requirement to limit our attendance to 175.

 In light of the fact that protests with thousands had been permitted and even encouraged, and retail stores were allowed unlimited numbers in their stores without near the safety measures we employed, I felt completely justified in what I was doing. But the bottom line is that we have the constitutional right to freely exercise our faith and to peaceably assemble together.

  And please be in prayer for us. I’m convinced I’m doing what the Lord would have me do, but I don’t relish the battle we find ourselves in.  Jamie and I–along with all of my staff members that are having to deal with this–really need God’s wisdom and guidance to navigate these waters we have never sailed through before. There are hidden mines everywhere, but we will make it to the other side.”\

The rulers told Peter and John to stop speaking about Jesus.  Phil Weiser, the current Attorney General for Colorado sent a cease and desist order for Andrew Womack Ministries to stop gathering and speaking the truth.  This is America 2020, Land of the Free.  It does not feel free anymore.  However, it is still home of the brave!

The disciple’s prayers were answered:

And when they had prayed, the place where they were assembled together was shaken; and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and they spoke the word of God with boldness. – Acts 4:31 NKJV

I enCOURAGE you to join me and pray for all boldness for yourself and our spiritual leaders.   Be bold and brave.  You are going to need it to endure to the end.  I pray that you are shaken and filled afresh with the Holy Spirit so that you can be led to speakthe word of God with all boldness.

“For we cannot but speak the things which we have seen and heard.” – Acts 4:20 NKJV

I am reading through Acts which was written between 60-160 and my mind is blown.   I feel like I am reading the headlines from 2020.  The Governor of California, Gavin Newson, ordered places of wordship to “discontinue singing.”  Specifically, his order said:

“In particular, activities such as singing, and chanting negate the risk reduction achieved through six feet of physical distancing.  Places of worship must therefore discontinue singing and chanting activities and limit indoor attendance to 25% of building capacity or a maximum of 100 attendees, whichever is lower.”

“Even with adherence to physical distancing, convening in a congregational setting of multiple different households to practice a personal faith carries a relatively higher risk for widespread transmission of the COVID-19 virus, and may result in increased rates of infection, hospitalization, and death, especially among more vulnerable populations.” (https://files.covid19.ca.gov/pdf/guidance-places-of-worship.pdf)

Peter and John received a similar order 2000 years ago after healing a lame man.  The powers that be, the rulers, elders and scribes, said they could not deny the lame man’s healing…

“But so that it spreads no further among the people, let us severely threaten them, that from now on they speak to no man in this name. So, they called them and commanded them not to speak at all nor teach in the name of Jesus. – Acts 4:18 NKJV

They were under government order not to speak in the name of Jesus.  They were threatened to not dare spread the hope of his resurrection and healing.  The Governor of California has mirrored the words of the Sanhedrin, “Stop the spread!  Stop singing about Jesus!”  The boldness and authority of Christ in Peter and John answered,

“Whether it is right in the sight of God to listen to you and obey you rather than God, you must decide (judge).   But we cannot help telling what we have seen and heard.” – Acts 4:19-20.

The governing authorities threatened the disciples again before they let them go.  “Everybody was praising and glorifying God for what had occurred.” It was undeniable and they had no choice but to release them.

What Jesus did and continues to do is undeniable!  We cannot be silenced.  We cannot stop spreading the Hope.  We cannot help singing and telling what we have seen and heard.

I enCOURAGE you to sing today.  Praise Him for what He has done.   Spread Hope.  Spread Love.  We, as sons and daughters, have been silent for too long.  Encourage yourself and others. SING OUT LOUD.   SPEAK OUT LOUD. 

“Blessed are you when they revile and persecute you and say all kinds of evil against you falsely for My sake.  Rejoice and be exceedingly glad, for great [is] your reward in heaven, for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you. – Matthew 5:11-12 NKJV
