Poppcorn Party'E! needs some context to be understood. First, I will tell you that Poppcorn is an acronym for "Part'nears Of Pinecone Promises Chorus Of Rejoicing Nations" -and a little explanation with this. I chose to say Part'nears rather than Partners, to emphasize "joining in to do our part to bring the Kingdom of Heaven near". Pinecone Promises I will explain further down. Chorus Of Rejoicing Nations is the scene around the throne in Revelation---peoples from every tongue, tribe and nation, worshipping the Lamb of God! Party'E! is a group of people joined together on mission and it's a joyous celebration! The 'E! is for my Mother Evelyn! whose name means LIFE! and for Epiphany! which means revelation or manifestation and is the holiday that celebrates the wise magi coming to worship Jesus and to present him with gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh. Epiphany signals the gospel going to the gentiles, to the nations! 'E! is for the Ends of the Earth!
The purpose of the Poppcorn Party'E! is to
BACK--Bless Awaken Comfort Keep--the Bought'tea! by
Growing 4 Pinecone Promises:
Live the Great Commandments!
Love the Great Commission!
Lavish Great Campassion!*
Leverage Great Campanyons!*
Giving 3 Gifts of the MAGI:
Gold (100% fundraising for ministries and missions)
Frankincense (24/7 worship and prayer for the nations)
Myrrh (ministree for Daughters of Eve in grief)
*why Campassion! and Campanyons!? Glad you asked! Every Tongue Tribe Nation is TENT! Many people in every tongue tribe and nation live as nomads, or in makeshift dwellings. We are pilgrims and strangers on this earth--seeking the City to Come! Good News of Great Joy for All People! was first heard around a Campfire! I call them Christmas Campfires!
TEA! is an English acronym made up of 3 Greek words "Ta Ethne Allelulia"! which mean in English "All Peoples Praise the LORD!" and since we have been "bought with a price" and we are not our own---Jesus purchased with His blood "All Peoples" from every tongue, tribe, and nation, I have coined "Bought'tea!" to mean the purchased people of God for His praise, the "Bought'tea!" being my name for the Body of Christ. With my creative/poetic license, you will see that I use 'tea! and Bought'tea! to mean the gospel, praise, the Body of Christ, and also I include in this picture (or shall I say pitcher, since we are pouring cupps of tea? and pitching tents?) those who already love and follow Jesus, and those who are waiting to hear the Good News of Great Joy for All People, those who will respond with faith and follow with us, Our Amazing King! I mostly refer to "Unreached" as "Purchased" and "Persecuted" as "Underground" --not to be confusing, but words and their meaning matter very much to me, and I have thought deep and wide about these terms, and consider it worth the effort to explain. Again, Unreached, I call Purchased---because I like to think of them as part of the Bought'tea! chosen by God from before the foundation of the earth was laid, a Purchased treasure awaiting discovery! They will rejoice to know their King when the Good News of Great Joy arrives in their awareness! The Persecuted I prefer to call Underground, to emphasize the hiddenness and secrecy in which they must live. This makes up so many more people who live beneath the radar --out of danger of persecution--and of course, includes those who are being persecuted, either through discovery, or because secrecy just wasn't an option. This Underground Bought'tea! lives a costly life.
TEA! Ta Ethne Alleluia! All Peoples Praise the LORD! This sums it all up! Let the nations be glad! The knowledge of the glory of the LORD will cover the earth as the waters cover the sea! Let everything that has breath praise the LORD!
God has called me to "BACK the Bought'tea!" Back as a picture of what I do, through the gift of massage therapy, as a ministry to serve the Bought'tea! in Hot Springs, and as my vision for so long has been to BACK the ministry of missions.....with prayer and money and other tangible encouragement.
BACK is another beloved acronym: Bless Awaken Comfort Keep the Bought'tea!
Bless the Bought'tea! Awaken the Bought'tea! Comfort the Bought'tea! Keep the Bought'tea!
These 4 action verbs go hand in hand with the 4 Great Pinecone Promises, which grew from my life motto: PINECONE! Pour IN Everything! Cheer ON Everyone! Since I was 4 years old when I decided to follow Jesus with my whole heart for my whole life, there are 4 Great Pinecone Promises, which match Bless Awaken Comfort Keep.
Live the Great Commandments! Love the Great Commission! Lavish Great Camppassion! Leverage Great Camppanyonns!
Bless the Bought'tea!
Lavish Great Camppassion! Camppassion is passion to see/seed/seek God's Kingdom Come to the ends of the earth while showering compassion on the Bought'tea!
Awaken the Bought'tea!
Love the Great Commission! This is to awaken the Bought'tea! to the fields that are ripe for harvest, and to awaken the Bought'tea! that is waiting to know the Good News of Great Joy for All People! The sun rises in the the East (Awaken!) and it is in the East that most of the Purchased People of God for His Praise! are yet to know Him!
Comfort the Bought'tea!
Live the Great Commandments! This is the beginning and heart of CamellBack Christmassage, as a ministry for Daughters of Eve who are in a season of sorrow. To come alongside them with the gifts of Christmassage, prayer, cupps of tea, and friendship. To be WITH them, as compassion means: come with me into my suffering.
Keep the Bought'tea!
Leverage Great Camppanyonns! This is to partner with others in the Bought'tea! to Lavish Great Camppassion! Love the Great Commission! and Live the Great Commandments! by joining together to multiply and sustain what we are able to do. To be in prayer for the nations steadfastly 24/7, to give abundantly and steadfastly to the ministry of missions, and to partner many hands and feet to serve Daughters of Eve in their grief.
