Gen 32:24-28
24 And Jacob was left alone; and there wrestled a man with him until the breaking of the day.
25 And when he saw that he prevailed not against him, he touched the hollow of his thigh; and the hollow of Jacob's thigh was out of joint, as he wrestled with him.
26 And he said, Let me go, for the day breaketh. And he said, I will not let thee go, except thou bless me.
27 And he said unto him, What is thy name? And he said, Jacob.
28 And he said, Thy name shall be called no more Jacob, but Israel: for as a prince hast thou power with God and with men, and hast prevailed.
(KJV)

Last Sonday, the Lord led me to speak about "branding". The Lord led me to ask you, "What is your brand, what are you known for?"
For those of us, like myself who are known in some places for negative stuff...I bring good news!!!
God can change your brand!!!
Our God is a God of the Resurrection!!!
Our Lord Jesus makes all things new!!!
In the Scripture above, God changed the brand of this dude named Jacob by changing his name and mindset. Jacob used to be a scared little sissy and God changed him into a forefather of a nation. His name would become Israel, a name known even today throughout the world!!!
In the human definition above, the word brand means, "to impress indelibly". The word indelible means, "mark that cannot be removed or washed away".
I BRING YOU GOOD NEWS!!!
OUR INDELIBLE BRANDS ARE INSIGNIFICANT WHEN WE REALIZE WE SERVE AN INCREDIBLE GOD!!
For eternity, there is no brand of sin that the blood of Christ can't wash away.
During this dispensation of time, there is no brand that the Word of God, patience and longsuffering can't undue and recreate.
Don't ever give up!!
Especially if Jesus is your name brand!!!
