Generational Blessings 2

Generational Blessing 2 Now we look to what happen with Isaac. Isaac gets everything that Abraham had, even the blessing! This is the second generational blessing Look at: Genesis 24:36 band to him he has given all that he has. There was a great famine in the land Genesis 26:12 - 13 12) Then Isaac sowed in that land, and reaped in the same year a hundredfold, and the Lord blessed him. 13)The man began to prosper, and continued prospering until he became very prosperous; Abraham was the first generation. Isaac was the second. Isaac was able to prosper even in time of a famine. Abraham didn't. So each generation gathers more then the before one if they fall God!! Since my Grandmother (Alma) started as the generation with blessing and being a Godly women. Her blessing was transfer to my mother, and then to me, my children will also be blessed. The blessing grows with each generation. Abraham, Isaac, and then to Jacob. Genesis 27:28-29 28) Therefore may God give you Of the dew of heaven, Of the fatness of the earth, And plenty of grain & wine. 29) Let peoples serve you, And nations bow down to you. Be master over your brethren, And let your mother's son bow down to you Laban was even blessed because of Jacob. Genesis 30:27 And Laban said to him, Please stay, if I have found favor in your eyes, for I have learned by experience that the Lord has blessed me for your sake" Genesis 30:30 For what you had before I came was little, & it is now increased to a great amount; the Lord has blessed you since my coming. And now, when shall I also provide for my own house. Jacob had nothing when he ran away from Esau because he stole the firstborn blessing. But, when Jacob returned after a twenty years absent. Jacob had three principles that he used in his life: 1) He worked hard for Laban, 2) Jacob was loyal to Laban even when Laban treated him wrong. 3) Jacob also knew that he was under a special covenant blessing from his father Abraham. Jacob was walking in that covenant relationship with God. Jacob just didn't wait around for his blessing. He worked very hard for Laban even when Laban tricked him, and did him wrong. He worked hard for it. Jacob had a vision on what he wanted and went for it. That is what we have to do. Stand on the New Covenant of God which God gave us through Jesus Christ. Abraham, Isaac, & Jacob worked hard! They had a dream and they went for it. A dream that God gave them. God gave Jacob a stronger covenant then Isaac. Isaac had a strong covenant then Abraham. Abraham is known as the father of faith. Jacob had twelve sons, and his sons became great and became the nation of Israel. Israel went undefeated until they sinned against God. Israel broke the covenant of God. Even today Israel has a blessing on it. I have a blessing. You have a blessing. It is a generational blessing!! God made this covenant with Abraham, Praise God the covenant is still in effect. Psalms 89:34 My covenant I will not break, Nor alter the word that has gone out of My lips. His Blood covenant we have because of Jesus Christ our Lord. We need to stand strong on the New Covenant. STAND! & BELIEVE In Christ Name, AMEN Rev. Londa Picard
