    Why did Elisha insist (3 times) to go with Elijah to his fiery chariot ride... but all of the "sons of the Prophets" insisted on standing some distance away?

    (I opened the sermon by leading the congregation in an old hymn called "If Jesus Goes With Me I'll Go Anywhere". And then ended the sermon by singing the first verse and chorus with them again). In 1936, a 17 year old Bob Feller became a pitcher for the Cleveland Indians, and he ...read more

    Unhappiness is a choice. Seems we love the infectious negative reports that develop from emotions and eye sight. We are more than destination focused, we must focus on the progressive journey planned by a mighty God. You can if you want too.

    There is a place in the spirit that has been prepared for every child of God, but few will make the journey into the miraculous.

    This is the word of the Lord that I heard. "Journey to the miraculous." Ok Lets look at our text: 2 Kings 2:1-15 KJVS [1] And it came to pass, when the Lord would take up Elijah into heaven by a whirlwind, that Elijah went with Elisha from Gilgal. [2] And Elijah said ...read more

    What needs to be revived (facilitated) are MIRACLES, DOUBLE-ANOINTING and THE HARVEST. You and I have a major role to play.

    Opening illustration/video. Introduction: Abraham Heschel once wrote, “To be a prophet is both a distinction and an affliction.” Elijah was no exception.

     | 1,010 views

    To experience the fullness of God's power and blessings, we can look to the example of Elisha. His story teaches us how to unlock a double portion of God's anointing.

    The news had spread throughout the land that Elijah, the great prophet of God, was about to be taken away in a whirlwind. Elisha, his devoted student, was determined to receive a double portion of God's spirit and anointing. He was willing to pay the price and follow Elijah until the very end. 2 ...read more

    Elijah received word from the LORD that it was time for him to go to Heaven. This message speaks of Elijah's last words before he took that journey to Heaven.

    Introduction: Elijah was one of only two humans to ever leave this earth without dying. The only other was Enoch, who “. . . walked with God: and he was not; for God took him (Genesis 5:24, KJV)”. Full disclosure, I believe in the pre-tribulation rapture position, meaning, that according to 1 ...read more

    The Double Portion

    based on 1 rating
     | 2,165 views

    There is so much that we can draw from the lives of Elijah and Elisha. I think something that is echoed throughout is how we need to be ready to work for God as Christians. We reap what we sow, and I believe these 2 men lived that out.

    *(I do want to add at the beginning here, I did not read all of the scriptures that are in this, I just like to list my references in my notes so that I can better go over the story with the congregation. I also shortened some of the stories as needed.)* Hello, how is everyone? I have been ...read more

    To go forward means to proceed or continue. My prayer for you is that you will successfully put to use all the tools that the Lord has given you to go forward and reach your destination in life, in Jesus’ name.

    Every goal in life is ahead of us, and we need to go forward to reach, attain, or obtain it. Remember the word of God affirms that God’s divine power has given us everything that pertains to life … (2 Peter 1:3). Now, let’s see how Prophet Elisha depicts how to go forward in life: Elisha (2 Kings ...read more
