Are You Wrestling With God?
Genesis 32:22-32
Main Point:
What do you really need from God right now? There are times when God only releases his blessings on us after a season of prolonged and even painful wrestling with him.
Matt. 7:7-8 Ask, seek, knock!
You and I need to lay hold of the blessing God has for us!
1. Is God wrestling with you – to deal with something in your life?
verses 24-25
Jacob = ‘ supplanter ’ (grasps the heel) > later – ‘Deceiver’
“It is doubtful that God can bless a person greatly until He has wounded her/him deeply.” A.W. Tozer
2. There are times we wrestle with God – because we know what we need and are finally desperate !
verses 9-12
Verse 26 Are you going to give up without a fight?
