<p style="text-align: justify;">We are in a window of opportunity. The result of the 2024 election was a miracle. It revealed the mercy of God, even though America deserved judgment. It was the result of prayer and contending for our nation, for America's prophetic destiny.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Now apply that to your own life. Are you contending for your prophetic destiny? If not, you will most likely continue to hit the ceiling of frustration intent on holding you back. But God is calling you to contend for your destiny.</p>
<p class="subtitle" style="text-align: justify;">How Esau and Jacob Took Back Their Destiny</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Consider Esau and Jacob. Older brother Esau forever walked in the shadow of his younger brother. Jacob took the birthright of the oldest and stole the blessing of the oldest. But both men were given promises of prophetic destiny. However, in order to walk in them, it required they contend for them.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Esau's blessing from his father was his key for breakthrough.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">"...But it shall come about when you become restless, that you shall break his yoke from your neck." (Genesis 27:40)</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">With the word "restless" in this verse, these words could be translated to say:&nbsp;<em>When you decide to take dominion or rule, to take back the reigns</em>.&nbsp; &nbsp;<a href="https://elijahlist.com/words/display_word.html?ID=31760" target="_blank" rel="noopener">continue &gt;&gt;&gt;</a></p>
