How many times does God have to tell me something? He reminded Jacob he was to be known as Israel. I think God wanted him to remember where he was going, not particularly where he had been.
\nSometimes I get so wrapped up in the past or the present I fail to prepare for the future, even just minutes away! <\/p>\n
Maranatha! Jesus is coming again! What am I doing about it?<\/p>\n
Genesis 35:10-12
\nAmplified Bible (AMP)
\n10 Again God said to him, Your name is Jacob [supplanter]; you shall not be called Jacob any longer, but Israel shall be your name. So He called him Israel [contender with God].
\n11 And God said to him, I am God Almighty. Be fruitful and multiply; a nation and a company of nations shall come from you and kings shall be born of your stock;
\n12 The land which I gave Abraham and Isaac I will give to you, and to your descendants after you I will give the land.<\/p>\n
1 Peter 5:8-9
\nAmplified Bible (AMP)
\n8 Be well balanced (temperate, sober of mind), be vigilant and cautious at all times; for that enemy of yours, the devil, roams around like a lion roaring [[a]in fierce hunger], seeking someone to seize upon and devour.
\n9 Withstand him; be firm in faith [against his onset\u2014rooted, established, strong, immovable, and determined], knowing that the same ([b]identical) sufferings are appointed to your brotherhood (the whole body of Christians) throughout the world.<\/p>\n
Psalm 130:3-4
\nAmplified Bible (AMP)
\n3 If You, Lord, should keep account of and treat [us according to our] sins, O Lord, who could stand?
\n4 But there is forgiveness with You [just what man needs], that You may be reverently feared and worshiped.<\/p>\n
Proverbs 26:20
\nAmplified Bible (AMP)
\n20 For lack of wood the fire goes out, and where there is no whisperer, contention ceases.<\/p>\n
Jesus Prophesied He Is Coming Again<\/p>\n
John 14:3
\nAmplified Bible (AMP)
\n3 And when (if) I go and make ready a place for you, I will come back again and will take you to Myself, that where I am you may be also.<\/p>\n
“Oh what a glorious day that will be. Jesus is coming again.”<\/p>\n
