THE BLESSING (part 2)

Like I was saying God loves us ,That when we accepted Jesus Christ as our Lord and Saviour, we accepted The Blessing, The Anointing, The Word,Power,Love,Mercy,Grace,Forgiveness and all the blessings in THE BLESSING!
Gen.20:1 - 18
20:1 NOW ABRAHAM journeyed from there toward the South country (the Negeb) and dwelt between Kadesh and Shur; and he lived
temporarily in Gerar.
20:2 And Abraham said of Sarah his wife, She is my sister. And Abimelech king of Gerar sent and took Sarah [into his harem].
20:3 But God came to Abimelech in a dream by night and said, Behold, you are a dead man because of the woman whom you have taken
[as your own], for she is a man's wife.
20:4 But Abimelech had not come near her, so he said, Lord, will you slay a people who are just and innocent?
20:5 Did not the man tell me, She is my sister? And she herself said, He is my brother. In integrity of heart and innocency of hands I have
done this.
20:6 Then God said to him in the dream, Yes, I know you did this in the integrity of your heart, for it was I Who kept you back and spared you
from sinning against Me; therefore I did not give you occasion to touch her.
20:7 So now restore to the man his wife, for he is a prophet, and he will pray for you and you will live. But if you do not restore her [to him],
know that you shall surely die, you and all who are yours.
20:8 So Abimelech rose early in the morning and called all his servants and told them all these things; and the men were exceedingly filled
with reverence and fear.
20:9 Then Abimelech called Abraham and said to him, What have you done to us? And how have I offended you that you have brought on
me and my kingdom a great sin? You have done to me what ought not to be done [to anyone].
20:10 And Abimelech said to Abraham, What did you see [in us] that [justified] you in doing such a thing as this?
20:11 And Abraham said, Because I thought, Surely there is no reverence or fear of God at all in this place, and they will slay me because of
my wife.
20:12 But truly, she is my sister; she is the daughter of my father but not of my mother; and she became my wife.
20:13 When God caused me to wander from my father's house, I said to her, This kindness you can show me: at every place we stop, say of
me, He is my brother.
20:14 Then Abimelech took sheep and oxen and male and female slaves and gave them to Abraham and restored to him Sarah his wife.
20:15 And Abimelech said, Behold, my land is before you; dwell wherever it pleases you.
20:16 And to Sarah he said, Behold, I have given this brother of yours a thousand pieces of silver; see, it is to compensate you [for all that
has occurred] and to vindicate your honor before all who are with you; before all men you are cleared and compensated.
20:17 So Abraham prayed to God, and God healed Abimelech and his wife and his female slaves, and they bore children,
20:18 For the Lord had closed fast the wombs of all in Abimelech's household because of Sarah, Abraham's wife.
GEN: 22:17
22:17 In blessing I will bless you and in multiplying I will multiply your descendants like the stars of the heavens and like the sand on the
seashore. And your Seed (Heir) will possess the gate of His enemies,
GOD cut covenant with Abraham, in actual fact, He put Abraham to sleep and cut covenant with himself.


BE FRUITFUL MULTIPLY REPLENISH THE EARTH
Imagine the very first words Adam hears is BE FRUITFUL MULITPLY REPLENISH THE EARTH!
That sets the theme for the rest of the Bible
The same way Jesus spoke to the fig tree
MARK 11:13 - 14
11:13 And seeing in the distance a fig tree [covered] with leaves, He went to see if He could find any [fruit] on it [for in the fig tree the fruit
appears at the same time as the leaves]. But when He came up to it, He found nothing but leaves, for the fig season had not yet come.
11:14 And He said to it, No one ever again shall eat fruit from you. And His disciples were listening [to what He said].

MARK 11:20 - 26
11:20 In the morning, when they were passing along, they noticed that the fig tree was withered [completely] away to its roots.
11:21 And Peter remembered and said to Him, Master, look! The fig tree which You doomed has withered away!
11:22 And Jesus, replying, said to them, Have faith in God [constantly].
11:23 Truly I tell you, whoever says to this mountain, Be lifted up and thrown into the sea! and does not doubt at all in his heart but believes
that what he says will take place, it will be done for him.
11:24 For this reason I am telling you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe (trust and be confident) that it is granted to you, and you will
[get it].
11:25 And whenever you stand praying, if you have anything against anyone, forgive him and let it drop (leave it, let it go), in order that your
Father Who is in heaven may also forgive you your [own] failings and shortcomings and let them drop.
11:26 But if you do not forgive, neither will your Father in heaven forgive your failings and shortcomings.
Jesus had the Blessing what ever he said came to past.
That is the same for you and I,God created us in His Image and Likeness.A SPEAKING SPIRIT
Before Adam sinned he only spoke life and what ever he spoke that was it.
Now after Adam sinned he was speaking both life and death and it ought not to be!
God our Father commanded Adam to be fruitful,he commanded the Blessing.
He God commanded the darkness to be light.God spoke things into being.WOW!
The same Spirit that raised Christ Jesus from the dead dwells in us.
Jesus commanded the storm to still; He commanded Lazarus to get up from the dead!
Jesus said come follow me,greater works shall you do in my Name.

Abraham commanded the blessing that he received by FAITH TO MANIFEST WHERE EVER HE MAY BE.IN actual fact the Blessing produced life.

Made me Glad - Hillsong

THE BLESSING (part 1)

When God created Adam ,He made him like Himself, in His own IMAGE AND LIKENESS.
The bible says He formed him out of the dust of the earth, and breathed Himself into him.
Gen.1:26
1:26 God said, Let Us [Father, Son, and Holy Spirit] make mankind in Our image, after Our likeness, and let them have complete authority
over the fish of the sea, the birds of the air, the [tame] beasts, and over all of the earth, and over everything that creeps upon the earth.
What am I saying? I'm saying that God created someone like Himself, a speaking spirit!
When God saw darkness , He did not say ,it's dark or anything about it, He said Let There Be Light.
God was calling those things that be not as though they were. Adam named everthing,the plant's animals etc.Wow!
God wanted someone that He could talk to, fellowship, walkwith,share with,that which He created,the heavens and the earth.
Do you know the first words Adam heard was Be Fruitful and Multiply and replenish the earth, and subdue it and have dominion.
Gen.1:28
1:28 And God blessed them and said to them, Be fruitful, multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue it [using all its vast resources in the service
of God and man]; and have dominion over the fish of the sea, the birds of the air, and over every living creature that moves upon the earth.
He blessed them, they received the Blessing! Be Fruitful and Multiply, the Blessing was for them to prosper, The Anointing,impowered,
Replenish the earth.
The garden of Eden had everything they would need,in other words they were instructed and impowered and anointed to increase what was in the garden of Eden throughout the earth.
Before Adam and Eve SINNED they had all their needs met and purpose to increase in every area of their lives and to produce after their kind.Had fellowship with God , they walked with God. Is'nt that just wonderful!
Yes we know the way things went, Adam and Eve flell , they died spritualy , the wages of sin is death, that did not stop God from loving them, he still clothed them.One minute they were in fellowship with God ,walking with Him and the next cut off , seperated from Him.
Through sin Adam gave his authority to Satan ,dominion and power.
Our Father had to look for someone on the earth that He could come into agreement with,that would help Him Restore the earth.
He loves us so much,He never gave up on us ,never will ,as long as we are alive there is hope for God to use us in the plans that He Predestined before He created the Heavens and the Earth. He knew you and me ,he new our weaknesses our strengths,He new that He could use us to be a part of replenishing the earth. That is why He said in Matthew 6:33 Seek first the Kingdom of God and all these things will be added!
Seek First His Kingdom - His way of doing things.
Calling those things that be not as though they were!
Abram!
Gen. 12:
12:1 NOW [in Haran] the Lord said to Abram, Go for yourself [for your own advantage] away from your country, from your relatives and your
father's house, to the land that I will show you.
12:2 And I will make of you a great nation, and I will bless you [with abundant increase of favors] and make your name famous and
distinguished, and you will be a blessing [dispensing good to others].
12:3 And I will bless those who bless you [who confer prosperity or happiness upon you] and curse him who curses or uses insolent
language toward you; in you will all the families and kindred of the earth be blessed [and by you they will bless themselves].
12:4 So Abram departed, as the Lord had directed him; and Lot [his nephew] went with him. Abram was seventy-five years old when he left
Haran.
12:5 Abram took Sarai his wife, and Lot his brother's son, and all their possessions that they had gathered, and the persons [servants] that
they had acquired in Haran, and they went forth to go to the land of Canaan. When they came to the land of Canaan,
12:6 Abram passed through the land to the locality of Shechem, to the oak or terebinth tree of Moreh. And the Canaanite was then in the
land.
12:7 Then the Lord appeared to Abram and said, I will give this land to your posterity. So Abram built an altar there to the Lord, Who had
appeared to him.
12:8 From there he pulled up [his tent pegs] and departed to the mountain on the east of Bethel and pitched his tent, with Bethel on the west
and Ai on the east; and there he built an altar to the Lord and called upon the name of the Lord.
12:9 Abram journeyed on, still going toward the South (the Negeb).
12:10 Now there was a famine in the land, and Abram went down into Egypt to live temporarily, for the famine in the land was oppressive
(intense and grievous).
12:11 And when he was about to enter into Egypt, he said to Sarai his wife, I know that you are beautiful to behold.
12:12 So when the Egyptians see you, they will say, This is his wife; and they will kill me, but they will let you live.
12:13 Say, I beg of you, that you are my sister, so that it may go well with me for your sake and my life will be spared because of you.
12:14 And when Abram came into Egypt, the Egyptians saw that the woman was very beautiful.
12:15 The princes of Pharaoh also saw her and commended her to Pharaoh, and she was taken into Pharaoh's house [harem].
12:16 And he treated Abram well for her sake; he acquired sheep, oxen, he-donkeys, menservants, maidservants, she-donkeys, and
camels.
12:17 But the Lord scourged Pharaoh and his household with serious plagues because of Sarai, Abram's wife.
12:18 And Pharaoh called Abram and said, What is this that you have done to me? Why did you not tell me that she was your wife?
12:19 Why did you say, She is my sister, so that I took her to be my wife? Now then, here is your wife; take her and get away [from here]!
12:20 And Pharaoh commanded his men concerning him, and they brought him on his way with his wife and all that he had.

God calls Abram asks him to leave his family and come and follow Him.Leave the worlds way of doing things and He would Bless him.
As we know that God Blessed him - The Blessing - God said to him through you all the nations will be Blessd,all the families on the earth.WOW!
We know from scripture that Abram made some mistakes ,God led him into the wilderness,Gods intension was to prove to Abram that GOD WOULD SUPPLY ALL HIS NEEDS.AND THAT HE WOULD PROSPER HIM IN EVERY AREA OF HIS LIFE.
Even in the wilderness God want's to show himself Strong to you and to me,to everyone who would believe Him.
The bible says that Abram believed God and God creditted to him as Righteousness
Righteousness not of works but of faith, righteousness that comes by Faith and not of works.
In other words Abram believed God , God's way of doing things
He struggled in the beginning for he went to Egypt, he even lied about Sari being his sister,because she was so beautiful.
We know that Pharoh wanted her for his wife, but found out that she was Abams wife.
Remember The Lord said to Abram whoever blesses you I will Bless , whoever curses you I will curse.
Pharoh understood this and that is why he sent abram away with his wife and blessed him.
Gen:15:
15:1 AFTER THESE things, the word of the Lord came to Abram in a vision, saying, Fear not, Abram, I am your Shield, your abundant
compensation, and your reward shall be exceedingly great.
15:2 And Abram said, Lord God, what can You give me, since I am going on [from this world] childless and he who shall be the owner and
heir of my house is this [steward] Eliezer of Damascus?
15:3 And Abram continued, Look, You have given me no child; and [a servant] born in my house is my heir.
15:4 And behold, the word of the Lord came to him, saying, This man shall not be your heir, but he who shall come from your own body shall
be your heir.
15:5 And He brought him outside [his tent into the starlight] and said, Look now toward the heavens and count the stars-if you are able to
number them. Then He said to him, So shall your descendants be.
15:6 And he [Abram] believed in (trusted in, relied on, remained steadfast to) the Lord, and He counted it to him as righteousness (right
standing with God).
Let me move on, God decides to change Abram's name to Abraham, from fatherless to father of many nations wow!
You notice something here? Calling those things that be not as though they were.
Abram began to call himself Abraham father of many nations, God shows him the sand and said that his offspring shall be as the sand ,and then shows him the stars and says to him see if you can count that! WOW!
Things begin to change for Abraham , he begins to see the promisses of God. He believed God, he did not consider his own body nor that his wife's womb was dead, he belived God! He Trusted GOD TO DO THAT WHICH HE SAID HE WOULD DO!
We have to come to the place where we believe God,His Promisses ,His WORD, HIS WAY OF DOING THINGS!
HE LOVES US AND NEVER WILL HE STOP LOVING US!
WILL CONTINUE!!!!!!!!!!
You know if I continualy say I am a good person and that I love people , I am going to believe it, it's going to start effect my way of thinking ,my way of doing things , my way of seeing life.
It was by FAITH that Abraham received the promisses, By Faith , FAITH COMETH BY HEARING AND HEARING BY THE WORD OF GOD!
IN Joshua 1:8
1:8 This Book of the Law shall not depart out of your mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night, that you may observe and do
according to all that is written in it. For then you shall make your way prosperous, and then you shall deal wisely and have good success.
God's desire is that we prosper. His way of prospering us is Through His WORD.
LET NOT MY WORD DEPART FROM YOUR LIPS MEDITATE ON IT DAY AND NIGHT
If we want to be suceessful then we have to do it HIS WAY, JESUS DID SAY I AM THE WAY THE TRUTH AND THE LIFE
Any way let me continue ,if we are born again ,then we have been born into his Kingdom under His rules and regulations, His way of doing things.
He says to us meditate on my Word day and night, and you will have success where ever you go! WOW!
LET NOT MY WORD DEPART FROM YOUR LIPS , KEEP THEM ON YOUR LIPS EVERY DAY AND NIGHT.
We need to become diligent towards the things of God ,but becareful His WAY!
FAITH cometh by hearing the Word ,and God want's the Word to come out of our mouths.
Out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh!
Like a rudar of a ship ,the rudar being so small yet it directs the ship.
So is the tongue so small yet it directs our lives,our destiny!
The tongue speaking good and evil yet it ought not to be so .
The Word of God on our lips daily will direct us in the plans and purposes of God.THE BLESSING!!!!!!
God watches over His Word to perform it!
