The Road To The Blessed Place

Genesis 13:14–18 GNB
14 After Lot had left, the Lord said to Abram, “From where you are, look carefully in all directions. 15 I am going to give you and your descendants all the land that you see, and it will be yours for ever. 16 I am going to give you so many descendants that no one will be able to count them all; it would be as easy to count all the specks of dust on earth! 17 Now, go and look over the whole land, because I am going to give it all to you.” 18 So Abram moved his camp and settled near the sacred trees of Mamre at Hebron, and there he built an altar to the Lord.
Matthew 21:2–3 KJV
2 Saying unto them, Go into the village over against you, and straightway ye shall find an ass tied, and a colt with her: loose them, and bring them unto me. 3 And if any man say ought unto you, ye shall say, The Lord hath need of them; and straightway he will send them.
Today I declare An Untying from all unfruitful things in your Life!!
Why Sir, Because the Lord has Need Of Thee
Tell 3 people that wish that was as cute as you and say The LORD has need of You…
Let’s Pray……
As We attempt to unpack this 30 min message, I’d like to tell you that God has you on the Road to the blessed Place.. But in order to remain on this road it requires a lot of things to be done all at the same time. It Could take a year of preaching to cover it, so i’m only giving you a few nuggets to keep you on this road to recovery.
The term "blessed" refers to being favored or fortunate, often in a spiritual or religious context. It denotes a state of happiness and well-being bestowed by divine favor or grace.
To bless means variously to worship or praise, to bestow goodness and favor, and to invoke such qualities upon another. When applied to God, the terms imply homage or adoration offered in gratitude (Gen. 24:48; Deut. 11:29; Ps. 66:8)
God blesses people by granting prosperity or well-being in the form of both physical and spiritual grace
Eerdmans Bible Dictionary (BLESSING)
Blessings were an integral part of the Israelite liturgy and were frequently paired with curses to sanction covenantal stipulations (Deut. 11:29; Josh. 8:34; see CURSE).
Among the more familiar liturgical blessings is the Aaronic blessing (Num. 6:22–27), through which the Israelites were placed in God’s protective care. A person might “be a blessing” through a specific mission or by living an exemplary life (Gen. 12:2; Ps. 37:26; Isa. 19:24).
The blessing which Isaac granted to Jacob was held to be irrevocable (Gen. 27:33–35), but failure to live faithfully could bring a curse upon a blessing (Mal. 2:2) just as a curse might be transformed into a blessing (Deut. 23:5; Judg. 17:2
When We study Abrahams Life you find that his father Terah In Gen 11
Genesis 11:31–32 KJV
31 And Terah took Abram his son, and Lot the son of Haran his son’s son, and Sarai his daughter in law, his son Abram’s wife; and they went forth with them from Ur of the Chaldees, to go into the land of Canaan; and they came unto Haran, and dwelt there. 32 And the days of Terah were two hundred and five years: and Terah died in Haran.
His father was incapable of getting his family to the promise. And he died unfulfilled.
Tell The story: Of Abraham:
Abram was called Out from What his family was tied to which was idolatry.
This required a complete separation from what he was familiar with and accustom too.
2 Corinthians 6:17 KJV
17 Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you,
Nugget #1: Follow God’s Instruction
God never told him to bring his nephew
Nugget #2: When It’s God’s Will he will cause an emergency evacuation
Genesis 13:5–10 KJV
5 And Lot also, which went with Abram, had flocks, and herds, and tents. 6 And the land was not able to bear them, that they might dwell together: for their substance was great, so that they could not dwell together. 7 And there was a strife between the herdmen of Abram’s cattle and the herdmen of Lot’s cattle: and the Canaanite and the Perizzite dwelled then in the land. 8 And Abram said unto Lot, Let there be no strife, I pray thee, between me and thee, and between my herdmen and thy herdmen; for we be brethren. 9 Is not the whole land before thee? separate thyself, I pray thee, from me: if thou wilt take the left hand, then I will go to the right; or if thou depart to the right hand, then I will go to the left. 10 And Lot lifted up his eyes, and beheld all the plain of Jordan, that it was well watered every where, before the LORD destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah, even as the garden of the LORD, like the land of Egypt, as thou comest unto Zoar.
Bonus Nugget #3: Sometimes It’s better to Leave with Nothing, Because as long as you got God you have everything.
Nugget #5: You must discern what role you play in this movie. There are many people playing Abram in your life and they are actually LOT
That right there untied about 4 of ya’ll from a yoke of bondage. The devil had you thinking you can’t live with out Lot, truth is you make lot look good.
watch this:
Genesis 13:14–18 (KJV)
14 And the LORD said unto Abram, after that Lot was separated from him, Lift up now thine eyes, and look from the place where thou art northward, and southward, and eastward, and westward:
15 For all the land which thou seest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed for ever.
In Other Words Once Lot kicked Rocks, Abram’s Credit score went from 500 to 850.
16 And I will make thy seed as the dust of the earth: so that if a man can number the dust of the earth, then shall thy seed also be numbered.
In Other Words Now God can talk Covenant with his servant now that Lot left, As soon as you untie yourself from the Jack Ass. Opp’s I mean the Colt demon in your life.. God changes his conversation.

Promise, Purpose & Provision
Acts 16:31 KJV
31 And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.
Acts 11:14 KJV
14 Who shall tell thee words, whereby thou and all thy house shall be saved.
1 Corinthians 7:14 KJV
14 For the unbelieving husband is sanctified by the wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified by the husband: else were your children unclean; but now are they holy.
Then God tell’s Abram to take a test drive
17 Arise, walk through the land in the length of it and in the breadth of it; for I will give it unto thee.
Here is the 6th Nugget and now we going to pray:
After all God says and shows Abram he’s not looking to show off, work on building a big house no, He took down his tent and built an alter..
18 Then Abram removed his tent, and came and dwelt in the plain of Mamre, which is in Hebron, and built there an altar unto the LORD.
Abram’s worship to God supersedes any lofty ideas, desires and Plans: In order to walk on the Road called the blessed place. Your war-ship has to be 4real.
