'Simply Receive The Blessing.'
Genesis 32:29.
a) Jacob, responding to the "Man"
b) Asked Him His Name.
c) The "Man" replied:
d) "Why is it you ask My Name?"
e) And there He Blessed him.
(This QT reveals God's Heart to Bless: 'Simply Receive The Blessing.')
PRAYER: To be able to receive simply from God and not question or doubt Him.

'Imputed Righteousness.'
Romans 4:24.
a) But for us also,
b) To whom Righteousness shall be imputed,
c) If we Believe on Him
d) That raised up Jesus our Lord from the dead.
(Through this Second one I thank God for Imputed Righteousness)
PRAYER: For Faith to Believe what God's Word says.

Jacob, at this time, did not recognise the "man" as an Angel or as the Lord, he simply asked Him: "What is your Name?". There may be times in our Life of Faith that the Lord Himself intervenes in some way, yet we do not recognise Him. This kind of Divine intervention is really uncommon and is usually something that the Lord wants to be intensely personal between Himself and the person with whom He meets!
I do enjoy reading practical testimonies of how God works in various ministries and situations, there are some tremendous and awesome "true stories", and also lessons to learn! Usually, I can tell the "spirit" in which something is written. If something is written in a competitive or sensational way, I cannot complete the reading of it.
The true and real story is "God's Story" and we can enjoy it and learn from it.
