The Blessing of Separation

‎Hi Queen,

‎Today I feel like many of us will be having an Abraham experience. The table is set by my partner and co-chef Jesus and you will love it.

‎Let's give thanks:

‎Heavenly Father thank you for today's bread, let it nourish us and ease all our worries. Let your truth be what we stand on. We rest in your unfailing love, Amen.

‎Let's break bread:

‎**NLT**

‎Genesis 12:1-7

‎1  The Lord had said to Abram, “Leave your native country, your relatives, and your father’s family, and go to the land that I will show you.

‎2 I will make you into a great nation. I will bless you and make you famous, and you will be a blessing to others.

‎3 I will bless those who bless you and curse those who treat you with contempt. All the families on earth will be blessed through you.”

‎4 So Abram departed as the Lord had instructed, and Lot went with him. Abram was seventy-five years old when he left Haran.

‎5 He took his wife, Sarai, his nephew Lot, and all his wealth—his livestock and all the people he had taken into his household at Haran—and headed for the land of Canaan. When they arrived in Canaan,

‎6 Abram traveled through the land as far as Shechem. There he set up camp beside the oak of Moreh. At that time, the area was inhabited by Canaanites.

‎7 Then the Lord appeared to Abram and said, “I will give this land to your descendants.” And Abram built an altar there and dedicated it to the Lord, who had appeared to him.

‎Amen.

‎•Sometimes it might be a physical separation other times it's a mental separation from a way of living, limiting beliefs, wrong perceptions about who God is.

‎And a new walk is birthed. Here the Lord shows us His stand for Abraham and I want you to know those same words apply to you now. (He is known as Abram before his name change to Abraham).

‎Genesis 13:12-18

‎12 So Abram settled in the land of Canaan, and Lot moved his tents to a place near Sodom and settled among the cities of the plain.

‎13 But the people of this area were extremely wicked and constantly sinned against the Lord.

‎14 After Lot had gone, the Lord said to Abram, “Look as far as you can see in every direction—north and south, east and west.

‎15 I am giving all this land, as far as you can see, to you and your descendants as a permanent possession.

‎16 And I will give you so many descendants that, like the dust of the earth, they cannot be counted!

‎17 Go and walk through the land in every direction, for I am giving it to you.”

‎18 So Abram moved his camp to Hebron and settled near the oak grove belonging to Mamre. There he built another altar to the Lord.

‎Amen.

‎•Another separation occurs, Lot and Abraham increased but the land couldn't support them and disputes broke between their herdsmen.

‎So Abram, in order to stop the conflict, gave Lot the first option to choose from the vast land before them, promising to take the other.

‎Interestingly enough the place Abram got was still the place God had already promised him.

‎•There is a blessing you must harvest and many more blessings of increase on its way to you.

‎We don't have a full picture of how Abraham was increased by God, but the next time we see him, he is a wealthy man with an army that can fight and win victories.

‎•This would be our portion.

‎Father we love you and bless you. We will always remember we are not alone and no weapon formed against will prosper. Let us rest under your covering and fight on our behalf, Amen.

‎If you want to have a deep intimate relationship with Jesus, say with me:

‎Dear Jesus, come into my heart, I make you my Lord and Saviour, I repent of my sins, I believe you died on the cross to reconcile me back to God, I receive your love and new life, Amen.

‎Get ready for an overflow, eyes haven't seen and ears haven't heard the kind of blessings that is about to fall on you,

‎Love Beth and Papa.
