The Peniel House

Faith In Motion outreaches to  Single Father and Men’s Home available for men in recovery.

 Faith In Motion recognises that we all go through struggles in our lifetime. Often it is when we try to be the controller of our very own will. God gives us choices in life…to believe in Him and who He is…or not. He gives us what we call ‘Free  Will’, it is up to us how we use this will.

Many of the men that come to Faith In Motion are in what we call a struggle from within, or struggling with God. The bible has a name for this spiritual place; in the book of Genesis 32:24-31 Jacob named it  ’Peniel’ .

So Jacob was left alone, and a man wrestled with him till daybreak. When the man saw that he could not overpower him, he touched the socket of Jacob’s hip so that his hip was wrenched as he wrestled with the man. Then the man said, “Let me go, for it is daybreak.” But Jacob replied, “I will not let you go unless you bless me.” The man asked him, “What is your name?” “Jacob,” he answered. Then the man said, “Your name will no longer be Jacob, but Israel, because you have struggled with God and with men and have overcome.” Jacob said, “Please tell me your name.” But he replied, “Why do you ask my name?” Then he blessed him there. So Jacob called the place Peniel, saying, “It is because I saw God face to face, and yet my life was spared.” The sun rose above him as he passed Peniel, and he was limping because of his hip. (Genesis 32:24-31)
