When God invites you into a new season and an upgrade of your mantle, the old ways won’t cut it anymore. You will feel powerless and uncomfortable for a season. But do not worry, Just like Elisha had to grow into the mantle Elihja threw on his back so will you. Be faithful and walk with the Prophet or people God has put around you to help you grow. Elisha washed the hands of Elijah and served him day and night. He walked with him to study and learn.
Today there are a lot of people going trough prophetic seminars and prophetic schools wanting a quick road to the prophetic anointing and power.
IN a way it is true that today we have so many great teachers and fathers in the faith that we can draw from and the access we have to these great people for sure if we study them will give us speed and increase in learning about the prophetic ministry.
But at the same time, we can not forget that The spiritual Gifts are GIFTS that God gives we can not make them nor use them without the Holy Spirit operating through us and Jesus Giving the five-fold ministry gifts.
I would also like to say that the prophetic ministry is in a way more Caught than thaught… When God gives these gifts and callings we grab them in faith and we grow in using them by our willingness to step out and use them.
In the days of Elijha there was also as school of the prophets..
Read with me here
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 Bethel.
3 The company of the prophets at Bethel came out to Elisha and asked, “Do you know that the Lord is going to take your master from you today?”
“Yes, I know,” Elisha replied, “so be quiet.”
4 Then Elijah said to him, “Stay here, Elisha; the Lord has sent me to Jericho.”
And he replied, “As surely as the Lord lives and as you live, I will not leave you.” So they went to Jericho.
5 The company of the prophets at Jericho went up to Elisha and asked him, “Do you know that the Lord is going to take your master from you today?”
“Yes, I know,” he replied, “so be quiet.”
6 Then Elijah said to him, “Stay here; the Lord has sent me to the Jordan.”
And he replied, “As surely as the Lord lives and as you live, I will not leave you.” So the two of them walked on.
7 Fifty men from the company of the prophets went and stood at a distance, facing the place where Elijah and Elisha had stopped at the Jordan. 8 Elijah took his cloak, rolled it up and struck the water with it. The water divided to the right and to the left, and the two of them crossed over on dry ground.
9 When they had crossed, Elijah said to Elisha, “Tell me, what can I do for you before I am taken from you?”
“Let me inherit a double portion of your spirit,” Elisha replied.
10 “You have asked a difficult thing,” Elijah said, “yet if you see me when I am taken from you, it will be yours—otherwise, it will not.”
11 As they were walking along and talking together, suddenly a chariot of fire and horses of fire appeared and separated the two of them, and Elijah went up to heaven in a whirlwind. 12 Elisha saw this and cried out, “My father! My father! The chariots and horsemen of Israel!” And Elisha saw him no more. Then he took hold of his garment and tore it in two.
13 Elisha then picked up Elijah’s cloak that had fallen from him and went back and stood on the bank of the Jordan. 14 He took the cloak that had fallen from Elijah and struck the water with it. “Where now is the Lord, the God of Elijah?” he asked. When he struck the water, it divided to the right and to the left, and he crossed over.
15 The company of the prophets from Jericho, who were watching, said, “The spirit of Elijah is resting on Elisha.” And they went to meet him and bowed to the ground before him.
Do you see the young “sons of the prophets” they said dont you know…… They heard God but the did not have the hunger Elisha had. and Elisha asked for double of what Elihja had.
