After 20 years of work , the change was already in Jacob, But he could only identify with his past
So he held on to God and would not let go until he blessed him. Even though the encounter, was painful he would not let go
And God blessed him by changing what he was called, What he responded to
God changed his name from Jacob to isreal
From grabber and deciever to one who has power with God
He was blessed at birth but needed a name change to believe it
We have names attached to us based on our behavior
And when we get called to be saved
We like Jacob are still wrestling with God
• We wrestle with the word
• We wrestle with holiness
• We wrestle with righteousness
And in the middle of our wrestling match with God, When we are begging God to bless us
God ask us…. What is your name?
