\"Genesis\"<\/a>There are three battles going on here in this chapter.\u00a0 Jacob\u2019s battle with Esau his brother, our physical battles.\u00a0 Jacob\u2019s battle with himself, what should he do and say.\u00a0 Jacob also this night had a battle with an angel of God.\u00a0 Every day we seem to battle the world, ourselves, and what God wants to do.\u00a0 Jacob battled with God until he received a blessing from the Lord.\u00a0 God also changed Jacob\u2019s name to Israel.\u00a0 Maybe God wants to just change everything about you this year.\u00a0 Could it be that God wants to change your circumstance with others so that you have peace and favor with men?\u00a0 There is no doubt the biggest battle I fight is within.\u00a0 Should I have said or done this or that.\u00a0 Do you wrestle with the things of God?\u00a0 In order to have victory in our lives we much champion the things of God so that our lives will bring glory to God.\u00a0 The more we bring glory to God the more we will find joy, happiness, and peace.\u00a0 For one, the battle within slows down because it\u2019s not about me.\u00a0 Secondly, God gives us favor with those around us as His light shines through us.\u00a0 Do battle until Christ is Lord of all of your life.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"excerpt","protected":false},"author":1167,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"episode_type":"","audio_file":"","cover_image":"","cover_image_id":"","duration":"","filesize":"","date_recorded":"","explicit":"","block":"","itunes_episode_number":"","itunes_title":"","itunes_season_number":"","itunes_episode_type":"","filesize_raw":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[23],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4209","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-bible-reading"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_likes_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/mbcnewhaven.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4209","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/mbcnewhaven.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/mbcnewhaven.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/mbcnewhaven.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1167"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/mbcnewhaven.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=4209"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"http:\/\/mbcnewhaven.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4209\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4210,"href":"http:\/\/mbcnewhaven.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4209\/revisions\/4210"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/mbcnewhaven.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=4209"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/mbcnewhaven.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=4209"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/mbcnewhaven.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=4209"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
