Blessing of Jacob

A friend of mine sent me an email of his testimony. He had gone through horrible health problems and had been believing for his breakthrough all year. God spoke to him using the story of Jacob. God has been speaking to me using Jacobs story as well. In Gen. 32 Jacob wrestled with an angel until he got his blessing. Some background on the story, Jacob stole the birthright from his brother and fled his country. He was now headed back to face his brother again and he was fearful. He encountered the angel and began to wrestle with him. He was so determined in his wrestling that the angel touched his hip to attempt to break free. Jacob refused to let go. The angel asked what his name was and he told him. The angel changed his name Gen 32:28 "Your name will no longer be Jacob, but Israel, [e] because you have struggled with God and with men and have overcome." I have not received full revelation on this story yet. I do know that there are things, breakthroughs I am waiting on that I feel like I am wrestling with God over. I, like Jacob, will not let go until I get my blessing. I will be an overcomer and will rise above the struggles set before me. I will ,as Jacob did, walk into the destiny God has set before me regardless of what man's ways or rules has set up against me. God's ways are higher and I will overcome because I will not let go until I do.
Be Blessed
