Shalom! Welcome to episode 18 of Overcoming Daily with Anna Johnson.
Today's overcomer tidbit is this: the overcomer wrestles until they are blessed. Are you a wrestler? Do you wrestle to overcome life and spiritual challenges? What I've discovered is that many people fail to wrestle to receive the blessings.
And the reality of it is, is if you're not wrestling, you're not overcoming. Now, our Messiah was a wrestler. And let's just take a minute and talk about wrestling.
Wrestling is uncomfortable, it's personal, I would even say a bit intimate. It's a direct contact sport. I mean, you have someone in your personal space, even possibly sweating on you and manipulating your body in positions that are uncomfortable. And a lot of times our challenges are doing the exact same thing in our life. And those challenges may be circumstances, or it could even be people or it could be demonic oppression trying to operate in our lives.
Now, when I say that our Messiah is and was a wrestler, is that he wasn't afraid to get in those uncomfortable places in order to bless others. And yet many children of God today are afraid to be uncomfortable and to wrestle to receive the blessing.
So let's just go ahead right now and embrace this concept. The overcomer wrestles until they are blessed. They don't let go. They don't stop wrestling until they are blessed.
Now, what does that look like practically? Well, let's say that you're having, let's say you're having financial issues. You have a couple of options. You can wrestle this out, meaning you could pray, you could study scripture on how to overcome financially, you could look and see if there's any demonic oppression that's involved in the situation, you could fast - that's what wrestling looks like.
