”And He said, “Let Me go, for the day breaks.” But he said, “I will not let You go unless You bless me!”“ (Genesis‬ ‭32‬:‭26‬ ‭NKJV‬‬)

- What would you do to have the blessing of the Lord on your life?

- In this story, Jacob was willing to wrestle all night and then some.

- Even after an all night battle, he said, “I will not let go unless you bless me”

- Jacob had invested all of his heart and soul in this wrestling match.

- All of his past, all of his present and his future was tied up in this match.

- He wasn’t looking for a blessing that he could receive from anyone else.

- He was fighting for the Lord’s blessing.

- But in order to receive the Lord’s blessing, Jacob had to be broken.

- He had to have his will broken.

- He had to have his pride broken.

- He had to have his plans broken.

- Everything had to be shattered in order to receive the blessing of the Lord.

- Genesis 32:25 says, The Angel of the Lord, “touched the socket of his hip; and the socket of Jacob’s hip was out of joint as He wrestled with him.“

- ‭‭When you wrestle with the Lord, you will be changed.

- The Angel of the Lord touched Him.

- He was changed physically, emotionally and spiritually.

- He never walked the same.

- He had a different strut.

- He had to have a dependence on the Lord that he hadn’t had before!

- How about you?

- What, in your life, needs to be touched by the Lord?

- Is it your will?

- Is it your finances?

- Is it your health?

- Is it your relationships?

- Is it your spiritual heart condition?

- Are you willing to wrestle with the Lord, all night, like Jacob, and say, “I will not let go unless you bless me”

- Are you willing to wrestle through fasting & prayer?

- Are you willing to wrestle through the Word of God?

- Are you willing to wrestle with the Lord for future generations that come after you?

- Wrestle for the sake of your family and friends!

- Wrestle for the blessing of the Lord!

- Proverbs 10:22 (TLB) says, “The Lord’s blessing is our greatest wealth.”

- God’s blessing is far greater than man’s blessing!

- Nothing can compare to the transformation that He can bring in your life!

- Today, chase after the Lord’s blessing, and let nothing stop you until you get it!

- Have a great Weekend!
