Hello, again everyone, we’re on the 14th day talking about Jacob\u2019s life.<\/p>
\n
\n“And he arose that night and took his two wives, his two female servants, and his eleven sons, and crossed over the ford of Jabbok.\u00a0He took them, sent them over the brook, and sent over what he had.\u201d<\/em> (Gn.32: 22.23)
\n\u00a0<\/p>\n

Day 14 – Jacob’s struggle with God<\/strong>
\n\u00a0
\nJacob was a fugitive, but now he stood up!
\n\u00a0
\nNotice what we do when we\u2019re in the faith: There are no words or complaining, but action, like Jacob, when he made everyone and everything cross the brook.
\nPerhaps they thought, “Jacob is going to be all alone?\u201d \u201cHe\u2019s not coming with us?” Whether or not he had to explain to them it doesn\u2019t matter, but this shows us that when we are in the faith, we don\u2019t have any feelings of concern. Like Jacob, we have a problem to solve and it\u2019s personal, therefore we separate ourselves and remain confident.
\n\u00a0
\nHe stood up and faced his frustrations. Every time he was deceived he remembered his own deceit and every time he faced a difficulty he remembered how many times he choose to do what was wrong.
\n\u00a0<\/p>\n

. When we have an objective in mind there is no \u201cblah, blah, blah\u201d but an inner strength that is beyond us, which is the Spirit of God!
\n\u00a0
\n. When we take action God is present in our lives. This faith becomes a piece of God inside of us.
\n\u00a0
\n. When we surrender ourselves 100%, we don\u2019t wait around for time to go by because we live in the PRESENT!<\/strong>
\n\u00a0
\n\u201c\u2026He took them, sent them over the brook, and sent over what he had\u2026\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0
\nWhen we are alone with God, we don\u2019t rely on anything else. We do this because we know what the outcome will be and therefore we have no doubts or fears. There is no crying, tears, fear or worry about the future.
\n\u00a0
\nThere is an absolute certainty! And because of this the Holy Spirit can act.
\n\u00a0
\nThis act of faith is the Spirit of God working through you. It\u2019s already an answer! But through fear and doubts you show your essence.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m sure you\u2019ve already noticed. I’ve seen it. I’ve had my normal spirit of fear, anxiety, sadness, frustration, just like I\u2019ve seen my defined, strong, audacious, and bold side, which was completely different!
\n\u00a0
\nThis happens when we are defined and we hate sin and decide to be righteous before God. This will be immediately revealed through our actions.
\n\u00a0
\nA big hug for all, tomorrow we will be back.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":433,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[185,126],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-432","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-jacobs-life","category-reflection"],"better_featured_image":{"id":433,"alt_text":"","caption":"","description":"","media_type":"image","media_details":{"width":660,"height":261,"file":"2013\/07\/jaco14.jpg","sizes":{"thumbnail":{"file":"jaco14-150x150.jpg","width":150,"height":150,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","source_url":"https:\/\/www.vivianefreitas.com\/en\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/4\/files\/2013\/07\/jaco14-150x150.jpg"},"medium":{"file":"jaco14-300x118.jpg","width":300,"height":118,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","source_url":"https:\/\/www.vivianefreitas.com\/en\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/4\/files\/2013\/07\/jaco14-300x118.jpg"},"blogintro":{"file":"jaco14-144x100.jpg","width":144,"height":100,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","source_url":"https:\/\/www.vivianefreitas.com\/en\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/4\/files\/2013\/07\/jaco14-144x100.jpg"},"onethirdsquare":{"file":"jaco14-300x261.jpg","width":300,"height":261,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","source_url":"https:\/\/www.vivianefreitas.com\/en\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/4\/files\/2013\/07\/jaco14-300x261.jpg"},"oneforthsquare":{"file":"jaco14-219x219.jpg","width":219,"height":219,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","source_url":"https:\/\/www.vivianefreitas.com\/en\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/4\/files\/2013\/07\/jaco14-219x219.jpg"},"onefifthsquare":{"file":"jaco14-168x168.jpg","width":168,"height":168,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","source_url":"https:\/\/www.vivianefreitas.com\/en\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/4\/files\/2013\/07\/jaco14-168x168.jpg"},"onesixthsquare":{"file":"jaco14-135x135.jpg","width":135,"height":135,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","source_url":"https:\/\/www.vivianefreitas.com\/en\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/4\/files\/2013\/07\/jaco14-135x135.jpg"},"onethirdlandscape":{"file":"jaco14-300x200.jpg","width":300,"height":200,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","source_url":"https:\/\/www.vivianefreitas.com\/en\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/4\/files\/2013\/07\/jaco14-300x200.jpg"},"oneforthlandscape":{"file":"jaco14-219x146.jpg","width":219,"height":146,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","source_url":"https:\/\/www.vivianefreitas.com\/en\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/4\/files\/2013\/07\/jaco14-219x146.jpg"},"onefifthlandscape":{"file":"jaco14-168x112.jpg","width":168,"height":112,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","source_url":"https:\/\/www.vivianefreitas.com\/en\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/4\/files\/2013\/07\/jaco14-168x112.jpg"},"onesixthlandscape":{"file":"jaco14-135x90.jpg","width":135,"height":90,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","source_url":"https:\/\/www.vivianefreitas.com\/en\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/4\/files\/2013\/07\/jaco14-135x90.jpg"},"onethirdportrait":{"file":"jaco14-300x261.jpg","width":300,"height":261,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","source_url":"https:\/\/www.vivianefreitas.com\/en\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/4\/files\/2013\/07\/jaco14-300x261.jpg"},"oneforthportrait":{"file":"jaco14-219x261.jpg","width":219,"height":261,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","source_url":"https:\/\/www.vivianefreitas.com\/en\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/4\/files\/2013\/07\/jaco14-219x261.jpg"},"onehalfsquare-inpost":{"file":"jaco14-305x261.jpg","width":305,"height":261,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","source_url":"https:\/\/www.vivianefreitas.com\/en\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/4\/files\/2013\/07\/jaco14-305x261.jpg"},"onethirdsquare-inpost":{"file":"jaco14-200x200.jpg","width":200,"height":200,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","source_url":"https:\/\/www.vivianefreitas.com\/en\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/4\/files\/2013\/07\/jaco14-200x200.jpg"},"oneforthsquare-inpost":{"file":"jaco14-145x145.jpg","width":145,"height":145,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","source_url":"https:\/\/www.vivianefreitas.com\/en\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/4\/files\/2013\/07\/jaco14-145x145.jpg"},"onehalflandscape-inpost":{"file":"jaco14-305x205.jpg","width":305,"height":205,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","source_url":"https:\/\/www.vivianefreitas.com\/en\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/4\/files\/2013\/07\/jaco14-305x205.jpg"},"onethirdlandscape-inpost":{"file":"jaco14-200x132.jpg","width":200,"height":132,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","source_url":"https:\/\/www.vivianefreitas.com\/en\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/4\/files\/2013\/07\/jaco14-200x132.jpg"},"oneforthlandscape-inpost":{"file":"jaco14-145x96.jpg","width":145,"height":96,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","source_url":"https:\/\/www.vivianefreitas.com\/en\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/4\/files\/2013\/07\/jaco14-145x96.jpg"},"onehalfportrait-inpost":{"file":"jaco14-305x261.jpg","width":305,"height":261,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","source_url":"https:\/\/www.vivianefreitas.com\/en\/wp-
