Psalm 24:3-6
Genesis 32:22-32
Jacob is alone (posture). He is afraid. He has to face up with who he was. He has asked God for help.
God meets Him, but not in the form of help. God meets him with aggression.
‼️God is aggressively marking the seekers. There is no option, no backup plan. God is not playing with us anymore!
-Jacob wrestled. (Got dirty, dusty)
[אָבַק] vb. denom. Niph. wrestle (get dusty).
They wrestled until the breaking of day.

——While Jacob is wrestling, he is actually ascending. While He is wrestling his location in the Spirit is CHANGING!
