Stable As A Palm As the tall palm tree stands stable in the midst of heat and cold, rain and drought, so should you be says the Lord. For I have called you to be as the palm tree; rooted and grounded in me, and ready to face the elements at all times. But you have wilted in the heat, because your roots were not deep in My anointing. And when the enemy came against you, the pressures were too great for you to bear. You did not maintain, but gave up in despair. Know that I have made you to withstand all the storms of life, but only as you remain firmly grounded in me. Your spiritual nourishment does not come from without, but it comes from deep down inside. And when you have a spiritual need, I am always there to provide it and lift you up. So look deep inside you for the answer, and stop looking outside of yourself. Stop looking to man and to other ministries who are flowing in My anointing. For though they may nourish you for a season, they will not be there when the drought comes. They will not be there when the storm comes, and when the heat comes. In those times of pressure and difficulty you need not despair, for I have promised that I will never leave you nor forsake you. The anointing that I have given you remains in you, and you need simply to tap into that anointing afresh to experience My power in your life once again. As you learn to do this regularly, you will not only become stable as the palm tree, but you will also become a shelter and shade for others. And many will come to rest under the shelter of your branches. For they will know that there they can find peace and rest. And the picture that you will present to the world will be one of blessing and security, so that even when you feel inadequate in yourself, others will still come to you to receive. And instead of this being a drain on you, you will see it as a chance to flow out from within. As you have learned to tap into the inner power of My Spirit, so you will become a blessing to others, and like the tall palm tree you will stand out as a beacon of assurance and hope. Wait no longer says the Lord. Dig deep within and tap into My Spirit that lives inside of you. And you will rise up quickly and find that place of stability and security in Me
