“…Canada and the Canadian church is going to rise up once again and go to the four corners of the world and bring the gospel of Jesus Christ to pave the way for His second coming.” CHO
“The world is crying out ‘where is the Lord God of Elijah’, and the answer is that He is where He has always been … but where are the Elijahs?” Leonard Ravenhill (Why Revival Tarries)
1 Kings 19:19-21“Elijah went over to him and threw his cloak across his shoulders and then walked away. Elisha left the oxen standing there, ran after Elijah, and said to him, ‘First let me go and kiss my father and mother good-bye, and then I will go with you!’Elijah replied, ‘Go on back, but think about what I have done to you.’”
2 Kings 2:1-15“When they came to the other side, Elijah said to Elisha, ‘Tell me what I can do for you before I am taken away.’ And Elisha replied, ‘Please let me inherit a double share of your spirit and become your successor.’”
1. Burn The Plow 1 Kings 19:19-21
I will embrace my call … willing to be servant… God alone will be my source!!!
2. Follow And Embrace 2 Kings 2:1-6 STAY HERE!!!!
Faithful stewardship … value the inheritance … anointing
Gilgal— aramaic “Golgatha” the cross … rolling back or away … removal of flesh NEW CREATION!!!
Bethel — House of Bread — learn the lessons of the house of God
Jericho — fragrance — place of accelerated growth and fruitfulness
Jordan— crossing into the Spirit controlled resurrection power
NOW — operating in the harvesting double portion annointing
3. See Elijah Go2 Kings 2:10
The Chariot of Fire was a distraction. Went in whirlwind. I must have a first hand revelation of God.
I won’t keep Elijah’s ministry alive I will expect to perform the miraculous.
4. Tear You Robes2 Kings 2:12
I will not fulfill the greater works in my flesh. I can’t put His mantle over my mantle.
5.Strike The Water2Kings 2:14
I will release my faith and demonstrate the anointing. “Where Lord God of Elijah?”
Where do I do the stuff Lord? I’m ready to partner in the miraculous!
“The Spirit of Elijah rests on Elisha.”(vs.15) Everyone could see the reality of this mantle!!!
Elisha performed exact twice the miracles of Elijah.
MIRACLE:– a violation of natural law, a Divine intervention into the ordinary course of nature.
Mark 9:23“If you can believe, all things are possible to him who believes.”
“It is abnormal for a Christian not to have an appetite for the impossible. It has been written into our spiritual DNA to hunger for the impossibilities around us to bow at the name of Jesus.” Bill Johnson
“While the miracles served as signs, they were not performed in order to be signs. They were as much a part and parcel of Jesus’ ministry as was His preaching … not seals affixed to the document to certify its genuineness but an integral element in the very text of the document.” F. F. Bruce
“If the enemy can move you from a place of faith, he can get you outside the will of God for your life.”
Smith Wigglesworth
Of the 1,257 narrative verses in the Gospels 484 (38.5 percent) are devoted to describing healing miracles.
Signs and wonders do not belong to the margins of Christianity.
Miracles are tied to evangelism in the Bible no less than 17 times.
Acts 2:22“Men of Israel, hear these words: Jesus of Nazareth, a Man attested by God to you by miracles, wonders, and signs which God did through Him in your midst, as you yourselves also know—…”
Hebrews 2:3-4“…spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed to us by those who heard Him, God also bearing witness both with signs and wonders, with various miracles, and gifts of the Holy Spirit, according to His own will?”
John 10:37-38“If I do not do the works of My Father, do not believe Me; but if I do, though you do not believe Me, believe the works, that you may know and believe that the Father is in Me, and I in Him.”
John 14:11-12“Believe Me that I am in the Father and the Father in Me, or else believe Me for the sake of the works themselves. Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father.”
Mark 16:20“And they went out and preached everywhere, the Lord working with them and confirming the word through the accompanying signs. Amen.”
Acts 4:29-31 “…grant to Your servants that with all boldness they may speak Your word, by stretching out Your hand to heal, and that signs and wonders may be done through the name of Your holy Servant Jesus …was shaken; … all filled with the Holy Spirit, … spoke the word of God with boldness.”
Acts 14:2-3“But the unbelieving Jews stirred up the Gentiles and poisoned their minds against the brethren. Therefore they stayed there a long time, speaking boldly in the Lord, who was bearing witness to the word of His grace, granting signs and wonders to be done by their hands.”
Romans 15:18-19“…by my message and by the way I worked among them. They were convinced by the power of miraculous signs and wonders and by the power of God’s Spirit. In this way, I have fully presented the Good News of Christ from Jerusalem all the way to Illyricum.” Word And Deed!!!!
John 12:34“The people answered Him, ‘We have heard from the law that the Christ remains forever; and how can You say, ‘The Son of Man must be lifted up’? Who is this Son of Man?”
They knew the anointing remains … why would you depart?
2 Kings 13:14-21“When Elisha was in his last illness (“Grief” Isaiah 53), King Jehoash of Israel visited him and wept over him. ‘My father! My father! I see the chariots and charioteers of Israel!’ he cried.”
You are departing I Need The Mantle!!!
Pick Up Your Gifting “Elisha told him, ‘Get a bow and some arrows.’ And the king did as he was told. Elisha told him, ‘Put your hand on the bow,’ and Elisha laid his own hands on the king’s hands.”Acknowledge God’s Hand On It
Remove Barriers “Then he commanded, ‘Open that eastern window,’ and he opened it. Then he said, ‘Shoot!’ So he shot an arrow. Elisha proclaimed, ‘This is the Lord’s arrow, an arrow of victory(“AND” Victory in spiral and physical realm) over Aram, for you will completely conquer the Arameans at Aphek.’” Release Your Faith
“Then he said, ‘Now pick up the other arrows and strike them against the ground.’ So the king picked them up and struck the ground three times. But the man of God was angry with him.”
Romans 12:11“Never be lacking in zeal, but keep your spiritual fervor, serving the Lord.” ZEAL WILL DO IT!!!!!
“‘You should have struck the ground five or six times!”he exclaimed. “Then you would havebeaten Aram until it was entirely destroyed. Now you will be victorious only three times.’Then Elisha died and was buried.”
Empty Your Quiver With Passion!!
“Groups of Moabite raiders used to invade the land each spring. Once when some Israelites were burying a man, they spied a band of these raiders. So they hastily threw the corpse into the tomb of Elisha and fled. But as soon as the body touched Elisha’s bones, the dead man revived and jumped to his feet!” ANOINTING REMAINS!!!!!
Romans 6:4“We were therefore buried with himthrough baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life.”
Jesus anointing abides.
Romans 8:11“The Spirit of God, who raised Jesus from the dead, lives in you. And just as God raised Christ Jesus from the dead, he will give life to your mortal bodies by this same Spirit living within you.”
You are anointed for MIRACLES!!!
