Father Jacob Found Yhwh at Bethel

 Shabbat Shalom from Kent, London - 07Mar2025

Jacob decided to return to the Lord by seeking Him and His favour first.

Reference Scripture: Hosea 12:1-6

When God brought the charges against Jacob, aka Israel, is punishing Jacob according to his ways, repay for what he did in the past. Jacob got the best of his brother, he cheated his father to get the first born blessings, stayed with his uncle to get his love of his life for 14 years, he had experienced change in wages almost 10 times, ran away many times from the problems. At some point of time the Lord brought him to his knees. Finally he has decided to repent, wept, prayed- he was left alone. wrestled until the day break- begged for God's favour, guidance and made supplications. 

The prayer language changed for Jacob. Instead of merely asking, "God bless me," he interceded with the words, "Lord, I will not let you go unless you bless me." Assurance from the Almighty was his desire; the hunger and thirst in prayer brought that closeness.

The Bible says that finally Jacob discovered YHWH truthfully. At Bethel, the Lord spoke to him face to face- He kept on asking to bless him. I call it as the time of transformation. He was tired, feared, ran, waited, grew-up as a big family, he produced 12 tribes. However when his purpose met perseverance of faith, understood the need of seeking God's favour, guidance, blessings, words and rhema, he has decided to Pray intimately. God revealed , spoke to him by mentioning him as the God of the angel of armies. 

Let us never give up but pray without doubt, ceasing, and tiredness. Jacob prayed for favour over fear, promise over problem, victory over victim mindset, success over struggle, calm over calamity, worship over worry, Praise over Pressure situation. Amen. 

Hosea 12:6 says by the help of your God, return, hold fast to love and justice, and wait continually for your God. Call on Him is the call to all of us. Let's forsake our wrong ways, negative thoughts and return to Him by fasting, weeping, mourning. God is compassionate, slow to anger and abundance in Loving devotion. Let us seek good not evil, the Lord of Hosts will be with us. Trust in the Lord is the key to get the desires of the our heart in Him, by committing our ways, by serving Him only. Let us seek His face always, lean not in our own understanding but acknowledging HIM in all our ways will cause HIM to make our paths straight. Jacob learned the secret of seeking first the Kingdom of the Lord and His righteousness, which helped him to Please YHWH much better than ever. 

Father Jacob found Yhwh at Bethel very closely and spoke with Him. Beautiful experience to discover the great love in Him. Let us Call on Him and Pray and wait expectantly for God continually. Hallelujah!!!

Peace be Upon the State of the Israel and us.
Shalom. Have a Great weekend.

Boldness

Boldness Reference: Heb 4:12-16 We do not have to tiptoe toward God. We can always enter His presence—not only when in need, full, or facing challenges. His Word pierces soul and spirit, joints and marrow. He knows our thoughts and intentions before we ask or think. So the author of Hebrews urges us: boldly approach the throne of Grace. Receive daily bread, seasonal help, mercies, and Grace He has already arranged. In time of need, at the right time, He will help us. As Peter assured, submit obediently in His hand. Confidence: Not because the week went well. Not because your prayers feel mature. Because the curtain tore. Confidence isn't arrogance. It's knowing God left the door open.  The barrier didn't get thin—it split wide open. The King on the throne is also our High Priest. He knows our weakness from the inside. We are not interrupting Him. We have been invited. Gentle invitation. Urgent invitation. If Grace finds us and fills the room, what happens to the pressure to...

The Lifestyle of David - Faith, Trust and Prayer

The Lifestyle of David - Faith, Trust and Prayer Reference - 1 Sam 17, Ps 59 and 2 Sam 15 David was known as a man after God’s own heart, as witnessed by God Himself. The Bible reveals many reasons for this, but one of the most notable is his unwavering faith—trusting God completely and placing all his hope in the One who is more than able to guide him. I would like to discuss three scenarios and observe his responses to inspire our faith and draw us closer to Him. 1) When the Israelite army fled from Goliath, David stood his ground, boldly declaring the giant’s defeat before the fight even began, trusting entirely in the Name of the Lord rather than physical weapons. With a single stone, David struck Goliath down, vindicated God’s Name, routed the Philistine army, and proved to all that the battle belongs to the Lord. He proclaimed victory before the clash, relying not on spear, sword, or javelin, but on the Lord’s power. David said, in 1 Sam 17:45-47, “You come against me with sword,...

Prayer is tactical, transactional and transformative practice in the Bible.

Yes, prayer in the Bible is indeed **tactical**, **transactional**, and **transformative**. Each of these aspects highlights a different dimension of prayer, showing its depth and power in the life of a believer. Let’s explore these three dimensions with biblical examples and insights: --- ### **1. Prayer is Tactical** Prayer is a **spiritual weapon** and a strategic tool in the believer’s life. It is used to engage in spiritual warfare, seek God’s guidance, and advance His kingdom. - **Biblical Example**: **Ephesians 6:18**     Paul instructs believers to "pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests." This is part of the "armor of God," showing that prayer is a tactical weapon in spiritual battles.    - **Application**:     Prayer is not passive; it is an active, intentional practice to combat evil, break strongholds, and bring God’s will to earth. It is a way to align ourselves with God’s strategies and overcome th...
