BELOVED JACOB’S NAME CHANGE
One of my intercessory assignments throughout the years
has been about Jacob, and the Lord changing the flesh
nature of the Jacob leaders. The beginning of this
year, the spiritual wrestling that took place between
earth and heaven climaxed at the break of day, the new
year on 1/01/08.
Gen 32:24-32 NKJV
Then Jacob was left alone; and a Man wrestled with
him until the breaking of day. 25 Now when He saw that
He did not prevail against him, He touched the socket of
his hip; and the socket of Jacob's hip was out of joint
as He wrestled with him. 26 And He said, "Let Me go, for
the day breaks." But he said,"I will not let You go
unless You bless me !"
So He said to him, "What is your name?" He said,
"Jacob." 28 And He said,"Your name shall no longer be
called Jacob, but Israel; for you have struggled with
God and with men, and have prevailed." 29 Then Jacob
asked, saying, "Tell me Your name, I pray." And He
said,"Why is it that you ask about My name?" And He
blessed him there.
MEANING OF NAMES
JACOB: Heel grabber; supplanter
OT:3290
OT:3290 Ya`aqob (yah-ak-obe'); from OT:6117;
heel-catcher (i.e. supplanter); Jaakob, the Israelitish
patriarch:
KJV - Jacob.
ISRAEL: Ruler
Yisra'el
OT:3478 Yisra'el (yis-raw-ale'); from OT:8280 and
OT:410; he will rule as God; Jisrael, a symbolical name
of Jacob; also (typically) of his posterity: -Israel.
HEARD: When 2 or more agree, there I AM in
the midst of them.
CT: (Clock time I heard that) 4:16 {Jacobs
consecrated spot; drive with the wind}
OT:416
OT:416 'El Beyth-' El (ale bayth-ale'); from OT:410 and
OT:1008; the God of Bethel; El-Bethel, the title given
to a consecrated spot by Jacob:
KJV - El-beth-el.
NT:416
NT:416 anemizo (an-em-id'-zo); from NT:417; to toss with
the wind:
KJV - drive with the wind.
Gen 35:7 KJV
And he built there an altar, and called the place
El-beth-el: because there God appeared unto him, when he
fled from the face of his brother.
The clock time 4:16 connecting with Jacob was really
quickened to me.
CONFIRMATION BILL BURNS: “The time of new
beginnings is upon us and will now start to unfold. God
will take some back to visit the old places where it
will be like Jacob’s journey back to Bethel to remember
the covenant. From Bethel, Jacob went on to Bethlehem
to establish spiritual authority for the birth of the
King of the twelve tribes of Israel.”
Heard
(As I was pasting the above confirmation) Hip in the
socket. At
the door. Change my nature.
So Jacob called the name of the place Peniel: "For I
have seen God face to face, and my life is preserved."
31 Just as he crossed over Penuel the sun rose on him,
and he limped on his hip. 32 Therefore to this day the
children of Israel do not eat the muscle that shrank,
which is on the hip socket, because He touched the
socket of Jacob's hip in the muscle that shrank.
PRECIOUS CLIMAX: Last night at our woman’s
meeting, the speaker spoke on Ruth, whose name means
Friend. At the close of the meeting, she sang us a
song, in a heavenly soprano voice. It was a song her
friend had written many years ago and she had carried it
all these years. I felt the Holy Spirit all over her
song, and it melted my heart with silent tears coursing
down my cheeks. I asked her to sing it again, and it
was quickened to me later, that the thing was doubled,
because it was ordained of God. God is truly changing
Jacob’s name and nature.
SONG: I WILL CHANGE YOUR NAME
I will change your name
You shall no longer be called
Wounded, Outcast, Lonely, or Afraid
I will change your name
Your new name shall be
Joyfulness, Confidence, Overcoming One
Faithfulness, Friend of God, One Who Seeks My Face
Gen 32:30 NKJV
So Jacob called the name of the place Peniel: "For I
have seen God face to face , and my life is preserved."
Gen 35:9-15 NKJV
Then God appeared to Jacob again, when he came from
Padan Aram, and blessed him. 10 And God said to him,
"Your name is Jacob; your name shall not be called Jacob
anymore, but Israel shall be your name." So He called
his name Israel. 11 Also God said to him:"I am God
Almighty. Be fruitful and multiply; a nation and a
company of nations shall proceed from you, and kings
shall come from your body. 12 The land which I gave
Abraham and Isaac I give to you; and to your descendants
after you I give this land." 13 Then God went up from
him in the place where He talked with him. 14 So Jacob
set up a pillar in the place where He talked with him, a
pillar of stone; and he poured a drink offering on it,
and he poured oil on it. 15 And Jacob called the name of
the place where God spoke with him, Bethel.
WORD TO PONDER: JACOB’S NAME CHANGE 1/09/08
Jacob you have wrestled with Me for so long. Oh zealous
one, places where you have striven with man to obtain,
you have striven with Me. The blessings you have
wanted, the validation you have sought, your provision
and inheritance are Mine to give you. In your passion to
find your destiny, I have brought you through many years
to bring you through to your name change. You have
endured much chastening by My hand and walked through
much pain to have come to this place where you no longer
wrestle or grasp. I am so proud of you for being
willing to let go of your strivings and walk into your
place. I call you leader, ruler, prince with Me. With
your new name change, I will set that which was
dislocated back into its place so that you shall no
longer walk with a limp. For I AM the God Who redeems
all.
Heb 12:10-13 NKJV
Now no chastening seems to be joyful for the present,
but painful; nevertheless, afterward it yields the
peaceable fruit of righteousness to those who have been
trained by it. Therefore strengthen the hands which hang
down, and the feeble knees, 13 and make straight paths
for your feet, so that what is lame may not be
dislocated, but rather be healed. |
