When the angel said his name shall be no more Jacob, is because that name as be contaminated and needed to be change before he can enter into the plan of God for his life. Thou there is call of God upon his life but he had destroyed it with harm of flesh, so his name must be change 2cor 5:17

Why does this verse refer to Jacob and his eleven children? Leah gave him 6 sons and 1 daughter, the maidservants gave him 4 sons in total at the time Rachel had 1 son. That's 11 sons and one daughter, so twelve children in total. So why does the verse say he crossed with his eleven children?

Yes, Jacob's walk was forever changed by his encounter with the Lord. I think it is useful to consider God's perfect, best, center of His will, in all areas, as opposed to His permissive will.

This practice helps us make sense of lots of Bible happenings. Did God really teach slavery and to dominate people, for example, or, if you are going to have slaves, and abuse them, blinding. an eye or knocking out a tooth, you will let them go free.

Did God really want Jacob to limp the rest of His life when in Acts a man was given complete wholeness. We can get in a habit of saying we like our dull, speckled axe rather than admit our failings and press in. Miriam was healed of her leprosy, but the entire camp knew it.

Oswald Chambers, an early 1900s man of God, in his daily devotional "My Utmost for His Highest" suggested this speaks to the idea that we don't want to wrestle with God, not wanting to renounce a sin , or a call to ministry?, for example, but wrestle before Him, laying of the call of Jesus Christ, doing ministry, defeating Satan, etc. I agree , which adds nothing to Brother Chambers legacy.

Yes I think they meant the Peniel gland in the brain. It is believed that this part of the brain houses your soul and is the link to life and death.

Jacob did not wrestle with God; that is stupid! God changed his name to Israel, because Jacob fought for his blessing and he didn’t wrestle with God, he wrestled with a man that was the man that God sent.

Does Genesis 33:10 have anything to do with Genesis chapter 32:30?

This is a beautiful story.

Always ask for the blessings of God like Jacob and seek his face all the time of your life. After seeking the face of God, Esau became a work over issue. Any Esau in your life can be handled without skill pain after you have sought the face God.

God is so wonderful and. He is marvellous in our sight.

Timothy Wayne George's comment about verse 32 on 1/10/2013, 12:01pm...

God wanted the children of Israel to remember forever, the part of the body that He touched to heal Jacob. Jacob is the only man, who wrestled with God, and won. It was then that God changed the name of Jacob, to Israel, which is the same when we are born again, we become Christians. If any man is in Christ, he is a new creation, the old is gone, and all things become new.

I'm confused. Did he see the face of God or not. I thought no one had ever seen the face of God.

It's always great sharing the word.

Encouraging, i like Jacob's persistence. He Knew and understood that his life was messed up and only GOD could deliver him. He knew that his help would only come from GOD.Therefore he had to cling to him alone. Brethren lets have the courage and persistence that Jacob had when we come before God, because we are nothing without God. Tell Him i won't let you go LORD until you bless me!

Here we see GOD's purpose being fulfilled. JACOB wrestled with an ANGEL. Who took on flesh and blood for the purpose of GOD. No one has an idea of why, but we do see the end results. JACOB was appreciative and was blessed by GOD.

Thereby setting other events in motion, in order to fulfill the scriptures.

Genesis 32 is an amazing chapter. who would ever think they would have the opportunity to actually wrestle God face to face! that in itself is amazing, however, what's more amazing is the reasong why God did it. it represented the Jacob's constant struggle with God. God didn't want a superficial faith from Jacob, he wanted his heart! God could have easily overcome Jacob but, the all night struggle only illustrates how stubborn Jacob was to depend on his own self instead of submimiting to God. When god asked him his name, he actually responded with the truth adn gave God his real name instead of lying like he did to recieve Esau's blessing. This hit home with me as I always struggle with God and yet, give in freely to Satan! The bible is "black and white" and is loaded with life's answers to live a God-like life.
