- And he had hope to shake me from the faith, notwithstanding the many revelations and the many things which I had seen concerning these things; for I truly had seen angels, and they had ministered unto me. And also, I had heard the voice of the Lord speaking unto me in very word, from time to time; wherefore, I could not be shaken.
Was it his revelations?
Was it the angels?
Was it literally hearing the voice of the Lord?
I would argue that it wasn't.
Jacob could not be shaken because he REMEMBERED.
It does us no go to receive revelations, see angels, hear the voice of the Lord, feel His tender mercies, feel the burning of the Spirit, UNLESS we remember them. That is why he could not be shaken. He never let the Lord be far from his mind. It doesn't matter how miraculous or small the event might be it cannot strengthen us if we forget about it.
