Psalms 19:7 The law of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple. Matthew 13:15 For this people's heart is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes they have closed; lest at any time they should see with their eyes and hear with their ears, and should understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them. Matthew 18:3 And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven. Luke 22:32 But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not: and when thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren. Acts 3:19 Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord;

Real Conversion takes place through the Covering of Grace and the Uncovering of Grace.

Adam and Eve needed a Cover.

CHANGE OF GARMENTS.

Isaiah 61:3 To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that he might be glorified.

Isaiah 61:10 I will greatly rejoice in the LORD, my soul shall be joyful in my God; for he hath clothed me with the garments of salvation, he hath covered me with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom decketh himself with ornaments, and as a bride adorneth herself with her jewels.

Zechariah 3:3 Now Joshua was clothed with filthy garments, and stood before the angel. Zechariah 3:4 And he answered and spake unto those that stood before him, saying, Take away the filthy garments from him. And unto him he said, Behold, I have caused thine iniquity to pass from thee, and I will clothe thee with change of raiment.

Matthew 9:16 No man putteth a piece of new cloth unto an old garment, for that which is put in to fill it up taketh from the garment, and the rent is made worse. Mark 2:21 No man also seweth a piece of new cloth on an old garment: else the new piece that filled it up taketh away from the old, and the rent is made worse.

Revelation 3:4 Thou hast a few names even in Sardis which have not defiled their garments; and they shall walk with me in white: for they are worthy. Revelation 16:15 Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame.

An Encounter of Cconversion. Moving from Jacob to Israel.

The Background of Jacob:

The story of Rebeccah: Two Nations are in your womb: The Birth of Jacob and Esau.

Jacob was ready from Birth to step into his seasons of Destiny:

He came out touching His brother’s Heel.

He took His brother’s Birthright.

Everything has been working for him until this time when he is fleeing from his brother Esau.

Find himself in the middle of the wilderness: Trapped, Stranded, Vulnerable and Intimidated, So many uncertainties, empty and yet God is still in this SEASON.

Ge 28:16 :¶ And Jacob awaked out of his sleep, and he said, Surely the LORD is in this place; and I knew it not.

He arrives at Laban’s HOUSE: You have arrived but not yet settled.

He is deceived and gets Leah instead of Racheal. Works 14 years to get Racheal instead of 7.

The Wages Of Jacob was changed 10 Times.

God gives Jacob an Idea to outwit Laban schemes; The idea gives him more livestock and wealth.

Jacob got to a place where He was frustrated and needed a turn, a change of season, another defining Moment with God. Genesis 30:30 When Can I build my own house.

Jacob gets tired but blessed and flees from Laban with the Wives. Laban is warned by God , “ Be careful not to say anything good or bad to Jacob.”

Laban follows him and pleads for him to return for I AM LEARNED BY EXPERIENCE AM BLESSED BECAUSE OF YOU.

He went to Laban empty handed but came out LOADED. There is no experience that is wasted by God.

The Next Direction; Leave and go back to your Father’s house. He goes back but with FEAR: FALSE EVIDENCE APPEARING REAL. Am afraid but still going on.

JACOB IS LEFT ALONE AND IS DESPERATE FOR A DEFINING MOMENT.
