I heard Kenneth E. Hagin say: we’ve been redeemed from the curse, and THE BLESSING of Abraham is ours. 

At that time, “blessing” didn’t mean much more to me except something one said after a sneeze.

So when Kenneth E. Hagin said that, I thought, Well, it would probably be good to find out what THE BLESSING of Abraham is. 

So, I began reading how God blessed Abraham, saying, “I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing: 

And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be BLESSED... And Abram was very rich.” (Genesis 12:2-3, 13:2).

I was stunned. I already knew that God wanted us to prosper, but I never heard of very rich “.in cattle, silver, and in gold.” I kept going back and seeing, “That THE BLESSING of Abraham might come on the Gentiles.” (Galatians 3:14). 

And it was talking about the seed of Abraham.

I continued reading in Galatians 3:29, which says, “And if ye be Christ’s, then are ye Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise.” 

I began digging into that promise and seeing it was all the way through the New Testament!

As I studied the promise year after year, it kept growing bigger inside me. 

I began to see that THE BLESSING was at the very beginning, too, when the BLESSED One BLESSED Adam.

I found that THE BLESSING spans the whole Bible!

Much of why the Spirit of God had me write this book, and why I had such a desire to get this information on paper and into people’s hands, is found in Isaiah 51:1.

But it needs to be understood from Galatians 3:7-9: Know ye therefore that they which are of faith, the same are the children of Abraham.

And the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the heathen through faith, preached before the gospel unto Abraham, saying, In thee shall all nations be BLESSED. 

So then they which be of faith are BLESSED with faithful Abraham.

THE BLESSING, then, is the gospel—the good news! Now read verses 13-14: Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree: that THE BLESSING of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.”

Look at verses 26, 29:

For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus... 

And if ye be Christ’s, then are ye Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise.

Now, come back over to Isaiah 51:1-2:

Hearken to me, ye that follow after righteousness, ye that seek The LORD: look unto the rock whence ye are hewn, and to the hole of the pit whence ye are digged. 

Look unto Abraham your father, and unto Sarah that bare you [Or, Look unto Abraham your father, and unto Jesus who gave you the new birth.]: for I called him alone, and blessed him, and increased him.

We’re the seed of that BLESSING! The promise is on us. Verse 3 goes on to say, “For The LORD shall comfort Zion: he will comfort all her waste places; and he will make her wilderness like Eden, and her desert like the garden of The LORD; joy and gladness shall be found therein, thanksgiving, and the voice of melody.” Hebrews 12:18-24 calls the Body of Christ “Mount Zion,” but that is not a proof text for “replacement theology.” The Body of Christ doesn’t replace Israel as Zion. 

We are in Christ Jesus. We don’t take anything away from Israel. We are the continuation of God’s promise to Abraham.

Isaiah 51:3 is the Eden Covenant! It was the covenant between God and Adam before he sinned. God wants His Garden back. He intended for that Garden to be spread all over this planet until the earth became the garden spot of the universe.

Your place can be the garden spot of your universe. That was God’s plan, and He never changes. 

He made man to live in a garden. And that should have been the worst environment man ever experienced because, “Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him” (1 Corinthians 2:9).

The Garden of Eden was just the starting point. 

It should have been expanded by Adam and Eve and their descendants into a greater and greater area, while God just observed His children at work because He had handed over the power and authority to continue to create that Garden all over the earth.
