"And he took them, and sent them over the brook, and sent over that he had. And Jacob was left alone; and there wrestled a man with him until the breaking of the day." Genesis 32:23,24
The old adage that cheaters never win is what this is all about. Jacob had by all appearances won by cheating his brother Esau out of his entitled birth-right blessing, but in doing so he had lost his brother. Years have gone by and now Jacob is repenting for his actions and hoping to win his brother back. Esau had...

"Who has believed our report? And to whom is the arm of the Lord revealed? Isaiah 53:1
The arm of the Lord is the power of God and when you have seen it you will know there is none like him. Our God is Mighty to Save! God is able no matter what you are going through, he can save you. It is his ultimate desire that we are saved! He knows everything about you, he knows your weaknesses and your strengths, he knows them so well that he has made a plan for them, and is using them right now to accomplish his kingdom plan. If you are...

"Out ye not to know that the Lord God of Israel gave the kingdom over Israel to David forever, even to him and to his sons by covenant of salt? 2Chronicles 13:5
Sharing salt together was a way in which it symbolized the agreement of a friendship forever. Salt is used as a preservative and the idea is that salt will preserve a friendship forever. It could never be changed once this took place. When God makes covenant with us he will never change it, he will never leave us nor forsake us. This...

"From whence come wars and fightings among you? Come they not hence, even of the lusts that war in your members? James 4:1
Do you know that there is a war within each of us, spirit vs. flesh? Paul said in Romans 7:23, "But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members." So where does sin come from? Sin originates from within and repentance is an absolute necessity in this lifetime to be more than conquerors over the wages of sin, which is death. Charles Haden Spurgeon put it this way, "Do not fall under...

"For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed. For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him." Romans 10:11,12
Jesus is just as able to save the Gentile that calls upon him as he is the Jew even though by documented history the Gospel came to the Jews first. No one is sent to one particular group of people or place before they are sent to the other. In other words there is no order based upon...

"But ye that did cleave unto the Lord your God are alive everyone of you this day. Behold, I have taught you statutes and judgments, even as the Lord my God commanded me, that ye should do so in the land whither ye go to possess it. Keep therefore and do them;" Deuteronomy 4:4-6a
Moses isn't exactly the brother of Barry Gibb and Barry isn't exactly singing about Stayin Alive for God either. The hit song from the Bee Gees called "Stayin Alive" is not talking about your soul and how to live for...

"Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee. Trust ye in the Lord forever: for in the Lord JEHOVAH is everlasting strength:" Isaiah 26:3,4
The whole world is calling out for peace! With all the trouble that we have these days where is peace? That state of quiet and calm so longed for, where is it? Who can create peace? God is the only one that creates true peace. Isaiah 57:19 reads, "I create the fruit of the lips; Peace, peace to him that is far off, and to him that is near,...
