    Consider what it means and what it accomplishes when we wrestle with God.

    Have you wrestled with God lately? What do I mean by wrestling with God? There are times in our lives when we will wrestle with issues concerning our behavior or God’s will for our lives. We will wrestle with God when we are considering His will. We will wrestle with God when we are struggling with ...read more

    Jacob wrestles with God and names the place "Peniel," meaning "face of God". Each of us needs our own "Peniel," a place to meet God. God gives us such a place, the Holy Bible.

    OPENING Talk about the courage to suffer: A first-grade teacher seated her students in a circle. She asked them what they wanted to be when they grew up. One by one, each child got up and announced, "I’d like to be a nurse like my mother," or "I want to be a banker like my father," or "I want to ...read more

    The whole experience of PRAYER is not to wrestle with God over our demands, but to know the heart of the One who seek to bless us and call us to a higher purpose in life, and help us understand our utter dependence on Him for success.

    This picture of Jacob wrestling with a God-man can be considered as one of the most bizarre encounter in the Bible. • He was all alone, having sent his family and all his possessions across the stream. • It was in the night, and he wrestled with this God-man until daybreak. Many see him as a hero ...read more

    As a Christian, it is a good thing to question, to seek; the key is to ask good questions and seek out good sources for your answers; most notably, the Bible.

    Wrestling with God, Genesis 32:22-31 Introduction Once a Hasidic teacher told this parable; a man had been wandering about in a forest for several days, unable to find the way out. Finally he saw a man approaching him in the distance. His heart was filled with joy. Now I shall surely find out ...read more

    Perhaps you have been having symptoms of slow progress, failures at the edges of breakthrough, marital dissappointment, disfavor despite opportunities surrounding you, this is wrestling with shadows, and unless there comes end to this, man would be subjec

    WRESTLING WITH SHADOWS Life is something many people fail to understand because there are so many questions those men cannot answer. For example, Cain and Abel were two men born of the same parents. They had similar backgrounds, similar abilities and were headed towards the same direction but ...read more

    It’s Okay to struggle with God - He loves you, he’s going to bless you - He’ll be with you.

    Title: Wrestling with Immanuel Text: Gen 28:13-15; Gen 33:22-32 MP: Don’t be indifferent to Christ. Intro: About this time of year, we tend to sing a lot of Christmas carols too lightly. There are radical claims and contradictions we sometimes pass right over, without a moment’s thought. This ...read more

    This sermon embraces the uncomfortable ideas of wrestling with God, God self-limitation in the struggle, and change that occurs.

    Genesis 32:22-32 Our Bible story needs a little prefacing this evening. Its kind of like the original Star Wars Triliogy - we’re coming in to the story at Episode VI. In recent days we’ve been taking a look at some Old Testament characters, and tonight we turn our attention towards Jacob - the ...read more

    How Jacob obtained the promise AFTER he struggled.

    As I was watching television the other day I saw an interesting commercial for Dick Devos who is a candidate for governor here in the State of Michigan this year. It was interesting to me because of the angle he took. It wasn’t really a plea for people to vote for him. He didn’t have a laundry ...read more

    To share with the listener how the sport of wrestling is much like our Christian life.

    Wrestling prepares a person to compete in the game of life. The wrestler is the one athlete that must meet their opponent and do battle completely on their own. No one can substitute and time outs are not possible. You have no one to check, screen, and block or assist you in anyway; there is no one ...read more

    Wrestling is a challenging sport. It takes strength, endurance and real self-sacrifice. These guys train and work out hours each day to stay in shape. I’m sure they have a diet they stick too without compromise. It’s what they live and breathe

    Christian wrestling Ephesians 6:12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. 13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to ...read more

    Jacob wrestled with the Lord all night, until the breaking of the day. The lesson that many us need to learn is that we are all wrestlers, but the time must come when we must let God win or be lost. Our walk will forever be changed just as Jacob's was.

    The Wrestling Match By Rev. James May Jacob’s life had not been an easy one, but he had brought most of his problems upon himself. It had started from the moment he was conceived by Rebekah, after she became the wife of Isaac, who was the son of Abraham. Even in the womb there was a ...read more

    Here, God empties Jacob of his NATURAL effort and teaches Jacob to trust Him completely.

    What images come to mind when I mention the word wrestling? For some, it is an image of a High school wrestling match. Others happily envision Dad wrestling with his son. And a few of us think of the theater of “professional wrestling” with Iron Rings of death and tag team death ...read more

    It is so easy to isolate all of our conflicts to the physical realm but behind each of these conflicts there are spiritual influences.

    Wrestling with Spirits Ephesians 6:10-17 In the mist of conflicts we struggle oftentimes as the world does and often the results are the same. God tells that though we view these struggles as being physical there are spiritual influences behind them all. Vs.12 For we wrestle not against flesh and ...read more

    There are times that much wrestling is required in prayer. Epaphras was an excellent example of this.

    Colossians 4:12-13 KJV Epaphras, who is one of you, a servant of Christ, saluteth you, always labouring fervently for you in prayers, that ye may stand perfect and complete in all the will of God.
