How to tell who the Jacobs are

[afaithfulone4u]

They will be the ones who wrestle all night with the Word to receive the Blessing of Abraham.

Gen 32:24-33:1
24 And Jacob was left alone; and there wrestled a man with him until the breaking of the day.
25 And when he saw that he prevailed not against him, he touched the hollow of his thigh; and the hollow of Jacob's thigh was out of joint, as he wrestled with him.
26 And he said, Let me go, for the day breaketh. And he said, I will not let thee go, except thou bless me.
27 And he said unto him, What is thy name? And he said, Jacob.
28 And he said, Thy name shall be called no more Jacob, but Israel: for as a prince hast thou power with God and with men, and hast prevailed.
29 And Jacob asked him, and said, Tell me, I pray thee, thy name. And he said, Wherefore is it that thou dost ask after my name? And he blessed him there.
30 And Jacob called the name of the place Peniel: for I have seen God face to face, and my life is preserved.
31 And as he passed over Penuel the sun rose upon him, and he halted upon his thigh.
32 Therefore the children of Israel eat not of the sinew which shrank, which is upon the hollow of the thigh, unto this day: because he touched the hollow of Jacob's thigh in the sinew that shrank.

"And Ya`aqob called the name of the place Pniy'el: for I have seen 'Elohiym face to face, and my soul is preserved! And as he passed over Pnuw'el the sun rose upon him, and he limped upon his shank. Therefore the children of Israel eat not of the sinew which shriveled, which is upon the hollow of the shank, unto this day: because he struck the hollow of the shank of Ya`aqob in the sinew that shriveled."

"At midday, O king, I saw in the Way a light from heaven, above the brightness of the sun, shining round about me and them which journeyed with me. And when we were all fallen to the earth, I heard a voice speaking unto me, and saying in the Hebrew tongue, Sha'ul, Sha'ul, why persecute thou me? it is to the shrinking of the shank for thee to kick against the cattle prodder. And I said, Who art thou, O Adoni? And ha-Adon said, I am Yeshua the one thou pursuest. But rise, and stand upon thy feet: for I have appeared unto thee for this purpose, to make thee a subordinate and a witness both of these things which thou hast seen, and of those things in the which I will appear unto thee; delivering thee from the people, and from the heathen, unto whom now I send thee, to open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to Light, and from the power of ha-Satan unto God, that they may partake in the sending away of sins and obtain an inheritance among them being sanctified through faithfulness into me."

Very nice! Glory to God for His kindness and mercy to all who love Him and are willing to struggle with His Word to become his children and inherit the Blessing.
