Alma and Amulek "went immediately, obeying..." they did as they were told or asked of the Lord without questioning His directions.
-That is something that isn't easy. It's more of the natural man to question and to do it slowly or not at all. Being willing to submit to the Fathers will and do as he is asked is a great task.

Alma met up with his brothers and was really happy to see them. His brothers were doing as the Lord had asked and "...had waxed strong in the knowledge of the truth; for they were men of a sound understanding and they had searched the scriptures diligently that they might know the word of God." (Alma 17:2)
-We should all do this, and live our lives accordingly. What more can I do to live my life this way? In what ways can I or do I need to improve?
Then they also fasted and prayed and had authority from God. God gives authority to His children to preach His word.

Blessing- Knowledge of the gospel and leaders chosen of God to direct us.

Parents are deceiving themselves in imagining that their children will be born with a knowledge of the gospel." (Richard O. Cowan, The Church in the Twentieth Century, p. 319)*...

Gordon B. Hinckley said, "We all do a lot of studying, but most of us don't do much meditation. We don't take time to think. I'd like to suggest that next fast day . . . everybody in this hall set aside an hour or two. Sit by yourself. Go in the bedroom and lock the door. Go out in the yard under a tree. Go in your study if you have one and shut the door, and think about yourself and your worthiness. Read from this great book [Book of Mormon]...There's a great word that's used, 'ponder.' "'Ponder.' What do we mean by 'ponder'? Well, I think it simply means kind of quietly thinking things through. Ponder what you have read. Ponder your life. Are you worthy, are you living the commandments...?" (Church News, 01/06/96) -Christ commanded them to; 1. " ponder upon the things which I have said, 2. ask the Father, in my name, that ye many understand, 3. prepare your minds for the morrow ," (3 Nephi 17:3) -The thing...
