From Don’t Miss This
Abraham 2:8
I know the end from the beginning, my hand shall be over thee – means that God’s hand is over my life – protecting, guiding it, make a great nation;
I will bless you above measure - there isn't a ruler big enough;
I will make name great; you will be a blessing to your
family and your family will bless many people
Abraham was made great so he could help other people
All promises are for Abraham and Sarah – all blessings are for women as well
as men; I will bless her ( Sarah) and she
will have a son. Sarah is half of covenant relationship
Women will be blessed, be multiplied, women are a crucial part of God’s Kingdom;
fullness of blessings come as a couple, in family
blessed with Priesthood – access to Gospel ordinances and covenants
Posterity like stars – only Heavenly parents have that many
children – it is code for Exaltation, becoming Gods
Property – {Promised Land) is code for Celestial Kingdom
Find in app, long document of all blessings in daily section
All those are in the next life, but we also have blessings during
our journey. They begin with baptism and we have blessings from them throughout
our lives.
The promise given to Abraham was to become something, not to
receive something. Promise is to become exalted, not to receive exaltation.
That’s why it is so important to live the covenant life because
we are becoming exalted every step of the way.
We’re not earning an outcome; we are actually becoming exalted
here. We are to enjoy exaltation along the way; enjoy the blessings we are
receiving as we become exalted through our life.
With every covenant relationship, there are two parts – what God
gives us and what are to do – how we are to live; how we walk the path. This is
what it looks like to be in partnership with God.
Responsibilities 2:6, 9, 11 – cone out of the world
Follow Him
The blessings have specific fulfillment in mortality but point
us to the eternal blessings of exaltation
Bless Abraham and bless all families through him
Our covenant is to live to bless other people
REST of the Lord means presence of the Lord
Talking scripture

them that bless thee – Gen. 12.1-5.

I
will place you in a strange land
Promises
Abraham
1:18
Lead
thee by thy hand
I
will put upon thee my name

My
power shall be over thee – power, protection, preservation, Power, Priesthood.
Given
a special place – Canaan; we are given a physical place and a spiritual place
when we inherit Zion. God has preserved a place for us in the Celestial Kingdom
