Jacob was a talented negotiator, a skilled deal-maker. The problem is that he tried to cut deals with God, sometimes negotiating with God to get what God had already promised to give. Jacob, like us, tried to set conditions on God’s unconditional promises; and he almost lost the very blessings he wanted to receive.
If you’ll learn from Jacob’s story, you’ll realize how to live with much less stress and much more assurance of God’s favor. The key is learning to live without a certain 2-letter word.
The title of the message is: STOPIFFING UP GOD’S WILL.
Listen well.
