Send us a text

Have you ever felt like you're wrestling with God? That intense, all-night struggle where you're fighting against transformation even though you desperately need it? This powerful message takes us deep into Genesis 32, where Jacob's wrestling match with God forever changed his identity.

The struggle is familiar to all of us. We run from our past, carrying names and labels that were never meant to define us. Like Jacob the deceiver, we've developed survival mechanisms and manipulative tendencies that seem impossible to shake. But God meets us in our darkest night, initiating a wrestling match that targets the very core of our strength.

What makes this encounter so profound is God's question: "What is your name?" It's not that He doesn't know—He's waiting for us to acknowledge who we truly are before He can transform us. The moment of honest confession becomes the turning point where God doesn't just give us a new label, but fundamentally changes our nature.

"You are not in recovery; you are recovered. You are not sick; you are healed. You are not defeated; you are victorious." These declarations remind us that our new identity in Christ isn't just aspirational—it's our current reality when we embrace who God says we are. Even our wounds become reminders of blessing, not curses. Like Jacob's permanent limp, our scars tell the story of divine encounter.

Whether you're in the midst of a spiritual struggle or carrying labels from your past that no longer serve you, this message invites you to a divine name-change ceremony. Stop asking God who He is when His nature is already embedded within your new identity. Your morning of blessing is coming—hold on and don't let go until He blesses you.
