How Bad do you want it?

Elisha follows Elijah

Elisha has been following Elijah for about 10 years now and the time has come for Elijah to leave.

Elisha has a great love and respect for his Father of the faith and he is willing to follow him anywhere.

The time has come for a change and they both know it.

they are fixing to cross the Jordan and Elijah is about to have his final journey.

2 Kings 2:8–10 KJV 1900

8 And Elijah took his mantle, and wrapped it together, and smote the waters, and they were divided hither and thither, so that they two went over on dry ground. 9 And it came to pass, when they were gone over, that Elijah said unto Elisha, Ask what I shall do for thee, before I be taken away from thee. And Elisha said, I pray thee, let a double portion of thy spirit be upon me. 10 And he said, Thou hast asked a hard thing: nevertheless, if thou see me when I am taken from thee, it shall be so unto thee; but if not, it shall not be so.

Elijah makes a way.

Elijah takes his mantle or his cloak and he strikes the waters with it and the waters part to make a way across.

God always makes a way for his people, he has proved this many times and still does today. all we have to do is trust his process.

when they get to the other side of the river, Elijah ask Elisha a Question!

What shall I do for you?

What would you say if God asked you the same question?

How long would it take you to answer? would you have to think about it?

Would you ask for wealth, power, health or, something else?

I love his reply! he didn't even have to think about it!

Give me a double portion of you spirit!

He could of asked for anything from him!

He asked for more of God’s spirit in his life!

Have you ever asked God for more of him?

Do you have a hunger for the Spirit of God in your life?

Do you want to be so full of God that there is no room for anything else?

We spend our live trying to accumulate as much stuff as we can.

Money, possessions, power and status!

and we never think to ask God for more of him!

I WANT MORE OF YOU GOD!!

I want more of your spirit in my life!

I want more of your word in my life!

I want more of your love in my life!

I WANT MORE OF YOU IN MY LIFE!

BUT HOW DO I GET IT?

Elijah tells Elisha that it is not his to give but only God can do it!

You can spend your whole life looking for something to give your life meaning and the whole time only God can give it to you!

you must turn to God!

but, there is some things you must do before you can be filled with a Godly spirit.

2 Kings 2:11–14 KJV 1900

11 And it came to pass, as they still went on, and talked, that, behold, there appeared a chariot of fire, and horses of fire, and parted them both asunder; and Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven. 12 And Elisha saw it, and he cried, My father, my father, the chariot of Israel, and the horsemen thereof. And he saw him no more: and he took hold of his own clothes, and rent them in two pieces. 13 He took up also the mantle of Elijah that fell from him, and went back, and stood by the bank of Jordan; 14 And he took the mantle of Elijah that fell from him, and smote the waters, and said, Where is the Lord God of Elijah? and when he also had smitten the waters, they parted hither and thither: and Elisha went over.

2 kings 2

You have to see the significance of this!

Elisha witnesses God taking Elijah.

Then Elisha tears his cloths! he tore off the old to make room for the new!!

YOU CAN’T HAVE MORE OF GOD UNLESS YOU MAKE ROOM FOR HIM!!

ARE YOU MAKING ROOM FOR HIM TO GROW YOU?

THE CHOICE IS YOUR TO MAKE!

Elisha take on God’s power and parts the waters just as Elijah did.

You can do amazning things in the lords name if you make room for him to work in your life!

DO YOU WANT MORE OF HIM?
