From a Deceiver to a Seeker!

From a Deceiver to a Seeker? God is looking for a generation who is ready to end the old ways of rebellion and truly seek the Lord with all their heart. A Jacob generation is what the Lord is looking for. How is anyone’s heart changed from the old to the new? By seeking the Lord with all your heart from a right motive. A Jacob generation marks a people with a change of heart. Jacob was marked with a new beginning when God changed his name from Jacob to Israel. When Jacob sought after God in his time of need and prevailed in prayer, the answer came. Seeking His face is desiring a deeper relationship with the Lord. Ps. 24:5-6 Those who seek His face shall receive a blessing from Him. This promise shows the heart of our Lord, “Come to Me for I have great blessings in store for you.” We must come with the right heart motive. A motive that is utterly dependent and desperate for all of Him, His leading in your life and a total surrender to His ways and not your own. Jacob was coming to settle in the Promised Land when he received news that his estranged brother Esau was coming to attack him with 400 men. Jacob sought the Lord all night and prevailed. That was his new beginning! At that moment the Lord changed his name from Jacob or “Heel Catcher” to Israel, “One who prevails with God.” Please visit our website for more information at www.cathycoppola.org
