25th Strategy.
Genealogies, Lists, and Such.

• Ask God to open your eyes to the wonders of His plan.
• Read the surrounding text of the list.
• Now read the list.
• Is there a reason the list has been placed in this passage?
• What is the list revealing?
• Is the list of people, items, places, disasters?
• Is the list a positive or a negative?
• Does the list reveal facts?
• If the list is a list of people, could you take a moment and find one of those people on the list that you are drawn to.
• Could you pray a prayer for the descendants of that person?
• Ask God to give you love for your own ancestors and your own heritage.
• Close your times with the LORD thanking Him for the family He put you in.  (if the list of items, Thank Him for your belongings. If the list is of places, ask Him to bless yours. If the list is for disasters ask Him to protect you and yours from those disasters in the future and to protect anyone that is going through them now with the purpose of drawing them closer to HIM.
• Be blessed ⏤ Jezreel ('God Plants') is planting depth into your spirit.

18. Enoch had a son named Irad. Irad became the father of Mehujael. Mehujael became the father of Methushael. Methushael became the father the Lamech.

19. Lamech married two women. The first was named Adah, and the second was Zillah.
20 Adah gave birth to Jabal who was the first of those who raise livestock and live in tents.
21. His brother's name was Jubal, the first of all who play the harp and flute.
22. Lamech's other wife, Zillah gave birth to a son named Tubal-cain. He became an expert in forging tools of bronze and iron. Tubal-cain had a sister named Naamah.
23. One day Lamech said to his wives,
"Adah and Zillah, hear my voice; listen to me, you wives of Lamech. I have killed a man who attacked me, a young man who wounded me.
24. If someone who kills Cain is punished seven times, then the one who kills me will be punished seventy-seven times!"
