Genesis 32:24-32
Each one of us has much of the same Jacob nature in us. Our only hope is that the Lord may blaze a way out, destroying the outward man to such a degree that the inward man may come out and be seen. This is precious, and this is the way of those who serve the Lord. Only thus can we serve; only thus can we lead men to the Lord. All else is limited in its value. Doctrine does not have much use, nor does theology. What is the use of mere mental knowledge of the Bible if the outward man remains unbroken? Only the person through whom God can come forth is useful.
Pray that the Lord Himself will show you any remnant of the Jacob nature in your life. Remember that Jacob was a covenant carrier yet it took a long time for him to fall into alignment with God.
- Declare that only the people of peace will enter through the gates of this month. Jehovah Shalom’s Angels hereby shut every power that foments violence out of this new season. Isa 60.17b-18a
- Speak to the gates of this month of September and command them to report to you what the days ahead hold.
- Ask the Lord to open your ears to hear, give you seeing eyes, a comprehending mind and a discerning heart to be alert to any signs from Him, which will give you direction as to what is happening in the days ahead. Isa 30:20-21
