Genesis 32:28 You shall no more be called Jacob but Israel for you have struggled with God and Men and Prevailed.
We also in the same manner have - Struggle with God and Men and have to prevail.
1. Struggle with God - To get off with old man or cursed man or fallen Adam to get the new man, blessed man, latter Adam the life giving Spirit to be transformed in His image.
2. Struggle with Men of four kinds - Eph 6:12 says we wrestle not with flesh and blood but with spirits but these spirits operate only thru men. As Holy Spirit operates thru God's children.
a. Our own flesh, carnality
b. People who are earthly or carnal if we are spiritual
