Dutch Sheets: God’s Covenant Trumps Mocking Spirits (Genesis

Dutch Sheets: God’s Covenant Trumps Mocking Spirits (Genesis 21:33)
Dutch speaks at Hope Fellowship in Branson, MS on December 10, 2022. Quotes: “The tamarisk tree is an evergreen tree and it's the tree that Abraham planted in Genesis 21, when he called on Olam El, Everlasting God and planted an evergreen tree. So, the picture of Saul under a tamarisk tree, while David is in the cave of Adullam, is a mocking spirit sitting under the tree of David’s promise. Abraham called on God as Olam, Everlasting God, which means the God outside of time, who is bigger than my past, bigger than the present, bigger than the future, because this is the God outside of time.”
You’ve been “blessed to be a blessing.” (Genesis 12:2) Pay it forward!

So the prophet says, "Go to Judah."
Then it says something very interesting
and he changes gears in this passage in Samuel 22.
It says, Saul is over in another part of the territory,
taking it easy under a shade tree
and that tree happens to be,
does anybody know what kind of tree it is?
Unless you're reading ahead of me, you probably don't.
Most, it wouldn't be something
you would typically think about.
He was sitting under a tamarisk tree.
Well, so what's the big deal about that?
The tamarisk tree is an evergreen tree
and it's the tree that Abraham planted in Genesis 21,
when he called on Olam El, Everlasting God
and planted an evergreen tree.
He did two things that were prophetic there.
This was toward the end of the journey with Abraham.
Isaac has been born.
God is fulfilled the promises He gave to this man
and Abraham is sort of doing what he's doing here
as a commemorating, the faithfulness of God,
and acknowledging that God has done everything
He promised him He would do.
So he calls on Him as Olam, Everlasting God,
which means the God outside of time,
who is bigger than my past, bigger than the present,
bigger than the future,
because this is the God outside of time
and in my past, when He called me,
He knew the weaknesses I had.
So He knew I would lie about Sarah being my wife
and say she's my sister, twice.
He knew that on the journey,
until my faith was strengthened to a certain point,
I would literally laugh in God's face when He said,
"This is still going to happen.
You're going to have a child through Sarah." [Genesis 18:12]
God knew those weaknesses existed,
but the God outside of time that could see,
not only where Abraham was,
but where Abraham would be,
and "not only do I see these weaknesses in him,
but I see what I'm going to do with him,
and I'm going to transform him into a covenant keeper,
and I'm going to transform him into a person of faith,
and I'm going to transform him into My friend."
So the God outside of time, that's bigger than our mistakes,
bigger than our failures, bigger than yesterday,
today and tomorrow, who's over all of that?
Abraham says, "You're bigger than all of that"
and he calls on Everlasting God
and then he plants an evergreen tree, a tamarisk tree
which is a covenant tree.
It symbolized covenant because of the evergreen aspect,
that it didn't die.
It was eternal in a symbolic sense.
The tamarisk tree was a slow growing tree,
but it lived a long time.
It was able to go deep with its root into the soil,
way down to the water and because of that,
it grew into the best shade tree in all of Israel,
but it grew so slowly because of the type tree
and because of the setting it was in,
that Scholars say no one would ever plant a tamarisk tree
for his or herself, because they would know,
the person would know
they will never reap the benefit of that tree.
You would only plant a tamarisk tree
for the coming generations.
So one lexicon said, and I quote,
"When Abraham planted this tree,
he was saying to his children and grandchildren
"you will sit under the shade of my covenant with God.'"
These two pictures, the Everlasting God, evergreen
are the pictures God gave me years ago
in the dream where I boxed five giants
and I knocked out a giant per round for five rounds
and I alternated fists, knocked one out in the first round,
knocked another one out in the second, third, fourth, fifth
and I stepped out of the boxing ring in the dream
and I held up both gloves
and I said, "If you're going to take out the giants
in this season, you're going to have to wear these two gloves."
And one said, ever-last and one said evergreen.
