I want to ask a question today will are you willing fight for in the spirit? Are you willing wrestle through the darkness in life with an angel in order make it to daybreak. Because you can't start the fight the blessing and don't finish for it is necessary your change to come. Jacob went in into fight a supplanter -A supplanter, is one who takes the place of someone or something that was there first. In order words he possessed a stolen destiny/blessing from his brother Esau for he was thief. But out of fight, what he became was Israel which means "a revelation of God", Jacob when into the fight walking normally but came out of with a limp a true encounter with the God will change you forever especially your walk. Because in process of the fight the Lord changed his name, his walk and his destiny all in one night. No longer a common thief but a man with higher purpose, for he had uncommon blessing of favor with God and man.
Genesis 32:24 So Jacob was left alone, and a man wrestled with him till daybreak
25 When the man saw that he could not overpower him, he touched the socket of Jacob’s hip so that his hip was wrenched as he wrestled with the man.
26 Then the man said, “Let me go, for it is daybreak.”
But Jacob replied, “I will not let you go unless you bless me.”
27 The man asked him, “What is your name?” “Jacob,” he answered.
28 Then the man said, “Your name will no longer be Jacob, but Israel, because you have struggled with God and with humans and have overcome.”
29 Jacob said, “Please tell me your name.”
But he replied, “Why do you ask my name?” Then he blessed him there.
30 So Jacob called the place Peniel, saying, “It is because I saw God face to face, and yet my life was spared.”
31 The sun rose above him as he passed Peniel, and he was limping because of his hip.
32 Therefore to this day the Israelites do not eat the tendon attached to the socket of the hip, because the socket of Jacob’s hip was touched near the tendon.
