STRUGGLE - GOD/MAN - PREVAIL - 2013-05-05
Genesis 32:28 You shall no more be called Jacob but Israel for you have struggled with God and Men and Prevailed.
We also in the same manner have - Struggle with God and Men and have to prevail.
1. Struggle with God - To get off with old man or cursed man or fallen Adam to get the new man, blessed man, latter Adam the life giving Spirit to be transformed in His image.
2. Struggle with Men of four kinds - Eph 6:12 says we wrestle not with flesh and blood but with spirits but these spirits operate only thru men. As Holy Spirit operates thru God's children.
a. Our own flesh, carnality
b. People who are earthly or carnal if we are spiritual
c. Magicians, sorcerers, etc thru men
d. Fallen angel in men

A Prayer for God to Be Your Shield and Portion Today - Your Daily Prayer - May 24
I love this passage in the Bible because it sums up the spiritual reality in all difficult circumstances. How many times do we see the enemy and opposing forces against us, just like Elisha’s servant? And that puts us in a panic - yet the angelic armies of the Living God are unseen but present nonetheless, and far greater. We just need to see that substantial truth!
