{"product_id":"wrestling-for-the-blessing-frances-furioso-9798307045008","title":"Wrestling for the Blessing","description":"Those who are \"born of God\" (John 1:13) have an identity in Christ which is not derived from race or nationality, nor from family or culture, nor our own ingenuity. This is a birthright which comes only when we receive Christ as the One Isaiah called our \"Eternal Father\" (Isaiah 9:6). For only a Father can give the right to be called a child. Only the Father's blessing can be the blessing of a birthright. So, ultimately, everyone must wrestle with God for the Father's blessing, that is, our personal identity as a child of God. And we must \"wrestle with God for the blessing\" as Jacob did (Genesis 32) - an intensive seeking, believing, and receiving from God in a \"face-to-face\" encounter. This type of engagement with God gives us faith, enables us to \"own\" or \"personalize\" our God-given identity, and brings us into a \"rest\" - a spiritual place where we cease from our own works of putting forth an adopted persona and enter into a secure authenticity that only comes from finding your personal identity in Christ.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Frances Furioso,W.
