Israel was reborn as a nation on May 14, 1948. From that day until now, the issue of Israel has been a continual source of controversy. What is the Arab-Israeli Conflict? The answer is found in Genesis. Abraham had two sons, Isaac and Ishmael. Isaac, the son of promise, received the birthright, but Ishmael lost his inheritance. It’s about the birthright. The children of Isaac returned to their inheritance. The children of Ishmael claimed the land that was given to Isaac. Harboring the bitterness and anger of Ishmael has brought great harm to their lives. When you carry resentment, harbor unforgiveness, feed self-pity, and bitterness, you hurt yourself more than anyone else and bring a curse on all that you do. Messiah said “”Forgive and you shall be forgiven.”” Is there unforgiviness, anger or bitterness in your life? Have you been wronged, mistreated, overlooked? Forget it. God hasn’t treated you wrong or overlooked you. God has treated you better than you ever deserved. Forgive, let go, and move on with your life. Harbor no bitterness, and your life will be free from the curse of Ishmael and covered with the blessing of Isaac.

I know Esther almost missed the most important, not only the most important moment of her life, but the purpose of her life.
Why she was number one? Well, and this can’t blame her because she was old.
But she’s living a double life. Number one, she’s not being the person she’s meant to be.
She’s hiding the fact that she’s Jewish. She has comfort.
She’s got possessions, she’s got riches, she’s got fame, she’s got everything.
People look up to her and she probably grew comfortable and attached to it.
Like most people would, even believers and she has a fear of losing it all.
She’s gonna lose her life, lose her possession, lose her everything, ultimately her life, but everything she’s got a lot to lose.
That’s the problem of being rich. You could think you have a lot to lose. But really she’s getting lost.
She’s getting in this thing and she’s kind of not being who she was meant to be.
You can’t fulfill the calling God has on your life.
If you’re living a double life, if you’re living, if you’re being, if you’re not being who you are, how can God use you if you’re not being the person God.
The calling that God has for your life is a calling that, that will end up fulfilling what God made you to be.
Not somebody else. You, you’re gonna be more you, you know, that’s a cool thing.
I mean, I, I, I, I mean, I, I didn’t apply to say but I, I feel like I’m doing what I was born to do and that’s the best feeling and, and that’s what you have to find because when you find that it doesn’t, nothing else matters that you’re doing what you were born to do, you’re fulfilled.
She’s attached. And another way you can lose, you can miss the calling of God is you get attached to the world, get attached to things, fear of losing things, fear of losing possession, fear of losing acceptance, fear of men, fear of, of your reputation, fear of losing even your life, getting lost for forgetting God, for forgetting who you are.
But notice something even though Esther had hidden whom she was and she does that mean you don’t think what this means.
If she’s not letting anybody know that she’s Jewish, she’s not fulfilling the, the, the commands of the covenant, she can’t be doing certain things like because she can’t do that.
She’s public all over the place. She hid her relationship to God. She’s living this other life.
And yet, and yet God still called her and loved her and still did not revoke the calling of her life.
And he even used her mistakes to bring about his perfect plan, the grace of God. Think about it.
A Abraham messed up. And after he messed up big, he went in, he had relations with his maid.
Of course, his wife told him, but still he had relations.
And another time he’s pretending, he said the brother of, of Sarah double life and yet God, it caused problems.
But God could have said that’s it. But he didn’t. He said, I’m he stuck with it.
He worked, he worked it through. There’s still, there’s still a cost.
But he worked there with Moses lived as an Egyptian prince killed an Egyptian fled fugitive. It’s pretty much finished.
He’s now 80 years old. God meets him in the middle of the desert to fulfill his call even.
And Moses objects to God’s call to the point that God gets angry with him.
But God still put up with Moses and God still fulfilled his calling.
David man, loved God, but he committed adultery and murder, man.
I mean, that’s not, I mean, adultery is bad enough but murder and God judged it and God re chastened him and rebuked him, but he did not take away his calling.
David paid a price for the rest of his life, but God sought not to throw away David not to remember him when, when, when David prayed that prayer, Psalm for one says, Lord don’t take away this from me, don’t and he didn’t.
Simon Peter denied the Lord and God could have said that’s it. But God restored him.
He corrected him, but he didn’t revoke the calling.
So you, so all of us, we’ve all sinned, we’ve all messed up.
We’ve all compromised, we’ve all done what we shouldn’t have.
But first of all think of what we did before we knew the Lord and yet God still called us.
But even after the Lord, you messed up, we all messed up. And yet God has not revoked your calling.
He has every right to but he has not.
He has not to find out how you can receive more of Jonathan’s teachings to receive special free gifts or get in touch.
