Gen. 12:1-5 I will bless thee.

What a spectacular moment.  All he has to do is act.  He went---that is where it all began.  He obeyed.  Proof here that God talks with a man. No questions, what shall I do?  He hears he does.  God is going to do big things here.  v.2-3  You talk about the word blessing.  It is a two way deal. He will be a blessing and God will bless him.   Might add everybody will have to bless him.

Somebody messing with you.  Calling you names,  pickin on you.  Bless your enemies do good to them that persecute you for yours is the kingdom blessings.  Here's how it works.  You act right and then God sees that and sends blessings through providence that far outway the problem. Also you will keep your mind righteous.  Yes it's possible that you will be trained in this. Soldiers always train and then when in battle they are equipped to win.

We were trained to hate but God is training us to love---we don't know how in most cases.

v.5  want to laugh?  Here's a original---  Abraham goes out with substance and spirits.  Opps--Does he walk around with spirits?  Well you can see he is blessed because he walks around with substance. He has a lot of it and when it's all over he will have lots more.  That is a visible thing.  Now watch this---He walks around with--souls.  Vines describes them as living breathing creatures.        
That was Haran not haunted house. v.5      
There's where these souls came from.   So we must see that they are living souls and what's inside of them is their spirit.   The soul comprises a body and a spirit.   Ever here that saying that horse has spirit.  it's a internal thing. That thing manifest outwardly through that body. 

Look where they're heading. right towards Canaan. The land of blessing.  I get the distinct idea that God wants to bless, so we can bless, and be a bless, and go towards our bless.  Is it all for Abraham. Last blog post we mention Gal. 3:29  last part of the verse-- ye are Abraham's seed and heirs of the promise.

in the next study we will see a bigger view of this.
