    Encourages the audience to go ALL THE WAY across Jordan - like Elisha, while all of the other prophets were content to view Elijah’s end from afar.

    1 When the LORD was about to take Elijah up to heaven in a whirlwind, Elijah and Elisha were on their way from Gilgal. 2 Elijah said to Elisha, "Stay here; the LORD has sent me to Bethel." But Elisha said, "As surely as the LORD lives and as you live, I will not leave you." So they went down to ...read more

    This sermon is to those of us who know God is doing something new, and they want to make the transition with God.

God was getting ready to do a new thing, to release into the earth a double portion anointing of his spirit but in order to bring in the new he had to take out the ...read more

    For Elisha to have the ’double-portion’ he desired there was a clear path to follow. There was a preparation to be made, a pryaer to be offered, a promise to be claimed, and the possession of the answer. What a challenge for us today!

    ELISHA SEEKS THE BLESSING THE PATH TO THE DOUBLE-PORTION II Kings 2:1-15 Elisha had travelled with Elijah for a relatively short time, and had seen how the Lord had miraculously worked through Elijah. This must have inspired him to want the same anointing himself, but before Elisha could ...read more
