Now he had to cease his wrestling but he could still cling, and
he could still cry, "I will not let thee go until thou bless me."
Jacob's will was now firmly set upon the blessing; he could ho longer
resist the will of the Blesser, but one thing more he had to do, and
that was to tell his name. I am Jacob--supplanter, sinner, and then He
blessed him there; Jabbok means extinguishment, and Jacob's self-life
was extinguished there. He told his name, and in the telling lost it.
No longer the supplanter--but Israel, the prince, the prevailer, the
overcomer, and Israel was now a wholly sanctified man. Beloved, tell
God your name--sinner--seek with fixed determination for the blessing
of holiness, fulfill the conditions, and you also shall prevail, and
your name will be changed from sinner to saint, priest, prophet, king,
having the blessing of entire sanctification, and the Blesser Himself
in the person of the Indwelling Comforter. Praise the Lord!
