HAVE YOU BEEN BROKEN?

​HOW WAS HIS HERITAGE ESTABLISHED IN YOU? DO YOU HAVE A LADDER?
GEN 28:10
AND JACOB WENT OUT FROM BEERSHEBA, AND WENT TOWARD HARAN.
AND HE LIGHTED UPON A CERTAIN PLACE, AND TARRIED THERE ALL NIGHT, BECAUSE THE SUN WAS SET; AND HE TOOK OF THE STONES OF THAT PLACE, AND PUT THEM FOR PILLOWS, AND LAY DOWN IN THAT PLACE TO SLEEP.
THERE WAS AN APPOINTED TIME THAT WAS AT HAND FOR JACOB AND HIS FAMILY TO GO FORTH, BUILD, AND ESTABLISH THEMSELVES AS THEIR HERITAGE UNTO THE LORD THEIR GOD AS PROMISED. JACOB, WHOSE NATURAL NAME MEANT TRICKSTER, LEFT HOME AND WENT FORTH AFTER BEING BLESSED OF HIS FATHER. THOUGH HE HAD A GODLY HERITAGE AND PROMISE OF GOD GIVEN TO HIM BY WAY OF HIS NATURAL FATHER, HIS BLESSING WAS RECEIVED BY WAY OF COVETOUS PRACTICES AND DECEIT. HE TRAVELED TO HARAN TO THE VERY SAME PLACE ABRAHAM STOPPED BEFORE BEING APPROACHED BY GOD WHO INSTRUCTED HIM TO GET THEE FROM THY FATHER’S HOUSE TO  APLACE I WILL SHOW THEE (GEN 12:1). JACOB WAS INSTRUCTED TO GO TO THE HOUSE OF BETHUEL (HOUSE OF COVETOUS PRACTICES) AND TAKE A WIFE (SYRIA IS OF THE GENTILES). ON HIS WAY TO GET HIS WIFE OF PROMISE HE STOPS AND WAITS FOR THE NIGHT. THERE IS ALMOST ALWAYS A PERIOD OF TRIAL AND WAITING BEFORE YOU OBTAIN YOUR PROMISE. THE LORD SAID WATCH AND PRAY. WHILE JACOB WAS IN THE MIDST OF SLEEP THE LORD REVEALED HIMSELF UNTO JACOB. THE LORD SHOWED HIM A LADDER SYMBOLIC OF A HEAVENLY CONNECTION. THIS LADDER REVEALED ANGELS OF THE LORD GOING BACK AND FORTH FROM HEAVEN TO EARTH. WE NEED A CONNECTION TO GET FROM EARTH TO GLORY AND THAT CONNECTION IS THE LORD JESUS CHRIST BY HIS HOLY SPIRIT. HIS FATHER HAS SPOKEN OF HIS NATURAL INHERITANCE BEFORE HIS JOURNEY, BUT HIS SPIRITUAL FATHER HAD OTHER PLANS. THE LORD INTRODUCES HIMSELF AND SHARES WITH HIM THE BLESSING THAT HE HAD PREPARED FOR HIM AND FOR THE GENERATIONS TO COME. THE LORD PROMISED HE WOULD BE WITH HIM AND WOULD NOT LEAVE HIM BUT WOULD BRING HIM AGAIN INTO THE LAND. THE STONES THAT WERE USED AS PILLOWS OF COMFORT WERE MADE PILLARS OF THE HOUSE OF GOD. MEANWHILE, WHILE WAITING TO OBTAIN HIS PROMISE JACOB WAITED AND WORKED IN THE HOUSE OF COVETOUS PRACTICES (LABAN) FOR  MORE THAN FOURTEEN YEARS. THE NATURAL BLESSING CAME THROUGH DECEPTION AND THE FIRST WIFE WAS GIVEN BY THE SPIRIT OF DECEPTION. THEN HE RECEIVED THE WIFE HE WAS LABORING FOR . HE MADE THINGS RIGHT WITH HIS BROTHER WITH WHOM HE HAD STOLE AND THEN AS HE BEGAN TO SOJOURN INTO THE NEXT MILESTONE OF HIS DESTINY, HE WRESTLED UNTIL THE BREAK OF DAY, AND HE GRASPED AHOLD OF THE MAN OF GOD (ANGEL OF THE LORD) AND WOULD NOT TURN HIM LOOSE. SEE THAT ANGEL WAS THE CLOSEST CONNECTION THAT HE HAD TO GOD AND HE PREVAILED AGAINST THE ANGEL, HE SAID, “I WON’T LET GO UNTIL YOU BLESS ME”. I DON’T WANT THE BLESSING THAT WAS MEANT FOR MY BROTHER. I DON’T WANT AN INHERITANCE THAT WAS RECEIVED THROUGH COVETOUS PRACTICES, LIES, AND DECEIT. I WANT THE LORD! I WANT MY OWN BLESSING. I WANT WHAT’S PURE. I WANT WHAT’S HOLY. I WANT WHAT’S RIGHTEOUS… THAT’S ESTABLISHED JUST FOR ME. THERE’S A NATURAL ORDER TO THINGS AND THEN THERE’S A SPIRITUAL ORDER TO THINGS. SINCE YOU’VE WON FAVOR WITH GOD I’M GOING TO PUT YOU IN ANOTHER DIMENSION. I’M GOING TO ENLARGE YOUR TERRITORY. THAT REQUIRES A NEW NAME. YOU HAVE A NAME TO LIVE BY. YOUR NATURAL FATHER CALLED YOU TRICKSTER. I’M CALLING YOU ISRAEL MEANING “HAS PREVAILED”. YOU HAVE POWER WITH GOD AND WITH MEN. THEN HE NAMED THE PLACE OF TH EENCOUNTER, PENUEL, MEANING,“HAVING SEEN THE FACE OF GOD AND LIVED.” YOU’VE BEEN WRESTLING WITH OTHER NATIONS EVEN WHILE YOU WERE IN THE MIDST OF YOUR MOTHER’S WOMB. SURELY HAVING SEEN THE FACE OF GOD AND OBTAINED A BLESSING…HAVING PREVAILED OVER THE ANGEL, HE DIDN’T WALK AWAY FROM A FIGHT WITHOUT BEING BROKEN. THE ANGEL TOUCHED HIM AND HE WALKED AWAY LIMPING. BECAUSE I’M BROKEN , I’M BLESSED. BECAUSE I’M BROKEN I HAVE OBTAINED MY PROMISE. SOMETHING HAPPENED TO ME THAT CAUSED MY BROKENNESS. I DIDN’T GET BROKEN ALL BY MYSELF. BECAUSE THE LORD HAS GIVEN ME POWER WITH GOD AND WITH MEN, I AM BROKEN IN THE MASTER’S HAND. I HAVE EXCHANGED THE CORRUPTIBLE FOR INCORRUPTIBLE. SO THE LORD SAYS OUT OF EGYPT HAVE I CALLED MY SON. THERE IS MORE THAT IS REQUIRED. AN OVERCOMING SPIRIT IS REQUIRED. THE OVERCOMERS SHALL SEE GOD!
