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.
