    The Road To A Double Anointing

    Contributed by John Gaston on Apr 2, 2017
    based on 3 ratings
     | 27,985 views

    Elijah & Elisha visited 4 places: Gilgal, Bethel, Jericho and the Jordan. Each one is highly significant in Israel’s history and I believe they are symbolic of key growth stages in Christ. Elisha had to complete each stage to gain the double anointing!

    THE ROAD TO A DOUBLE ANOINTING 2 Kings 2:1-15 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. JOKE 1: A Sunday school teacher was teaching on the story of Elijah the Prophet and the false prophets of Baal.

Elijah was a simple man who did some not so simple stuff ordinary man who did some extraordinary things • Elijah was a Tishmite meaning he was from Tishbe which was an insignificant place it was kind of like what Nathaniel asked Phillip.

    Change or transition is hard, but we can face it bravely and powerfully with God's help. The transition in leadership from Elijah to Elisha reminds us to pay attention, to seek the Holy Spirit's filling, and to bravely take up the task given us.
