    Elijah was a powerful prophet, but Elisha received a double portion of his Spirit. In days past, the church had power, but we can enjoy a double portion today.

    From the Desk of Pastor Toby Powers Truth Baptist Church Bremen, GA How To Have & Use A Double Portion II Kings 2:1-22 Intro: We are seeing the account of Elijah leaving this walk of life.

    People who go after God

    Intro: the other night I ate at Golden Corral and on the food bar was fish, steak, chicken and shrimp. I couldn’t decide what I wanted, so I got a little bit of it all, twice.

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

    Elisha had the reputation as the man who poured water on Elijahs hands. He was a servant, a helper, a student, a minister to Elijah. 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

    Elisha Seeks The Blessing

    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

    The beginning of Elisha’s solo ministry provides some insights into the mistakes that many of us make early in our walk with God.

    - vv. 23-25. - This is simply a problem passage. It’s very difficult to explain - it seems so unnecessary and unbecoming to a prophet, especially when you compare Jesus’ statements on forgiveness. - How do we make sense of it? KEY THOUGHT: God works through imperfect people. - The tendency ...read more
