God Wrestles With Jacob – Genesis 32

Part 36 in Pastor David Guzik's in-depth study of the book of Genesis, teaching through chapter 32. As Jacob returns to the land of Canaan, this chapter records an near encounter between Jacob and his brother Esau - and a powerful feat of combat and endurance between Jacob and "a Man," which resonates on many levels of analysis to this very day.
Pastor David expounds and examines the chapter verse by verse, and concludes by highlighting some of the many ways that this chapter parallels the personage and mission of Christ Jesus.

Another wonderful sermon. Thank you very much. May the LORD continue to bless you!

David Guzik, even today Angels of God are in human form. They preach the Gospel of repentance. Christ is dwelling in their bodies and doing God's will.

I love it when you say "Angelic protection", it is something you cant see because it comes as "Word " sent.

The "ONLY WAY TO WIN IS BY LOOSING TO GOD" right there you hit the nail

[geraldinepennell]

Hallelujah thank you Pastor Jesus Christ is merciful to not kill us but to kill what’s killing us 🙏🙏

How often we seek God, but fail to surrender when we have His ear. Then we wrestle until we realize that self-reliance is no longer an option.

The Lord met Jacob where He was- as he meets each of us
So that we can say GOD IS GREATER
AMEN

[rogerespinoza]

I had a dream live, but I didn’t have God with, so yes was wrestling with the creator, and I was empty and exhausted. But I took the word of God as my way and only way, and not be afraid of losing the word stuff. Now I have more than I could imaginen. When I was taking that dentition I felt lonely because none of my current friends understand. But I took the dentition to give it all to God and be a man of God.

Amen. The you so much for this teaching brother David! It seems each lesson in Genesis gets better and better. But this one is especially good because it tells Jacobs story that is ALL of our stories.

Thank you for doing this series on Genesis. I just happened to be reading it again so it’s going along well with that!

[avivastudios]

God rules. Interesting. That way he won't forget who has the power.

Pastor David, here in Genesis 32:25-27, after Jacob's hip was injured he said, "I will not let go unless You bless me!" And God asked him his name. I look at this as God giving Jacob the opportunity at redemption. When Jacob asked Isaac for his blessing and Abraham asked who he was (his name), he lied and said Esau. He took Esau's blessing with deception. I feel God giving Jacob the opportunity at redemption points to Jesus in John 21:15. When Peter, John, and other disciples are eating with a resurrected Jesus on the shores of Galilee; God asked Simon Peter, "Simon, son of Jonah, do you love Me more than these?" This question was a result of Peter denying Jesus 3 times. I believe this was Jesus giving Peter the opportunity at redemption as he gave Jacob...Please let me know your thoughts. Pastor, you are the best!
