Are You Wrestling with God?
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?
