Have You Ever Wrestled with God

Have you ever wrestled with Satan in the same way that the Man of God Wrestled with Jacob?

       I have a very important question to ask everyone right now.  Have you ever wrestled with Satan in the same way that Jacob wrestled with the Man of God?  I am asking this question because I had a flashback recently.  It happened in 1974 when I got into a fist fight with a 15-year-old boy.  We got into a fist fight over a black fisted pick that people used to comb their hair.  I fought this boy because he threatened my manhood over something that he could have purchased for himself. 

 

 

 

       Next, I fought with this boy because he threatened me with violence.  I might have been younger, but that poor brother was limping after I got finished with him.  He got away on his bike.  I want to inform all of you that this boy was 6 years older than me.  I want to say that I might not have wrestled with God, but this high school student got beat up by a 4^th grade student.  This is my first time mentioning this situation that happened 48 years ago.

       Further, I want to inform all of you that was my Satan at the time because this boy was stupid to fight an elementary student.  You see, one thing that I did at that time was kick another boy in his breadbasket because he was a boy who underestimated a 4^th grader.  At that time, I was living at 1119 West Third Street in Dayton, Ohio 45402.

 I remember it because my mother lived close to 4 Aces Bar.  I recall this event because my mother purchased this fisted pick for me.  Jacob literally wrestled with God.

 

   

   Moreover, I had the flashback because I was under a lot of stress.  I recall that during the 1970s; I got chased home by dogs and people.  I guess I was intimidated to live with my mother.  I really did not like fist fighting with anyone.  I might have fought and wrestled with a high school student.

 The 15-year-old boy got killed 30 years later.  He broke into a house and the owner shot and killed him. 

       In Addition, I want to say that Satan is capable of attacking your mind, and get you to do things that you would not normally do.  It is true that Satan utilizes stumbling blocks to hinder your progress.  I want to say that I remember getting chased home from school by boys and girls.  I got into a fist fight with a girl when I was in the 5^th grade.  I started the fight with the girl by calling her out of her name.

       Also, I want to inform all of you that my own sister used to beat me up.  I guess I did not have any business fighting girls.  Right now, people do not fight with their hands anymore.  They would rather shoot you just to get you out of the way.

  According to Genesis 32:23-32; The Man of God blessed Jacob because he wrestled with man and God and prevailed.  Jacob got blessed in the end; even though his hip was out of socket.

Genesis 32:23-32

King James Version

²³ And he took them, and sent them over the brook, and sent over that he had.

²⁴ And Jacob was left alone; and there wrestled a man with him until the breaking of the day.

²⁵ And when he saw that he prevailed not against him, he touched the hollow of his thigh; and the hollow of Jacob's thigh was out of joint, as he wrestled with him.

²⁶ And he said, Let me go, for the day breaketh. And he said, I will not let thee go, except thou bless me.

²⁷ And he said unto him, What is thy name? And he said, Jacob.

²⁸ And he said, Thy name shall be called no more Jacob, but Israel: for as a prince hast thou power with God and with men, and hast prevailed.

²⁹ And Jacob asked him, and said, Tell me, I pray thee, thy name. And he said, Wherefore is it that thou dost ask after my name? And he blessed him there.

³⁰ And Jacob called the name of the place Peniel: for I have seen God face to face, and my life is preserved.

³¹ And as he passed over Penuel the sun rose upon him, and he halted upon his thigh.

³² Therefore the children of Israel eat not of the sinew which shrank, which is upon the hollow of the thigh, unto this day: because he touched the hollow of Jacob's thigh in the sinew that shrank.

 

       Finally, I am writing this because Satan is capable of wrestling with you as well.  I am writing this essay because I only want everyone to know that we have to be very careful when it comes to Satan because; According to 2^nd Corinthians 11:14, it says that Satan masquerades as an Angel of Light.  An ending to this type of blog will be to allow all of you to come to your conclusions about real life situations.  I love all of you very much.  I would like for all of you to please be watchful and careful at the same time.  I am writing just to cope with a mental illness.  Writing is therapy for me.
