Wrestling with God…


Jacob wrestled with God and would not let go until God blessed. I often think of Jacob as I pray, waiting for God's blessings.

“Will we wrestle with God in prayer? Will we receive the baptism of the Holy Spirit? This is what we need and may have at this time…If we will walk humbly with God, God will walk with us.” Prayer, p. 87

Let us pray that God will help each of us have the teachable humility of a child. If we have this kind of humility, not only will He give us the wisdom that we so desperately need, but He will give us His Holy Spirit, which means He will dwell with us. This is what we need to be successful in this work. We need Him to dwell with us and walk with us.  

“For thus saith the high and lofty One that inhabiteth eternity, whose name is Holy; I dwell in the high and holy place, with him also that is of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite ones.” Isa 57:15

Praying for greater reviving today!
