Grace for your spirit May 27, 2008

Elisha died, and they buried him. Now the bands of the Moabites would invade the land in the spring of the year. As they were burying a man, behold, they saw a marauding band; and they cast the man into the grave of Elisha. And when the man touched the bones of Elisha he revived and stood up on his feet. II Kings 13:20-21

When it came time for Elisha to follow the great prophet Elijah in Israel, Elisha knew he had big shoes to fill. He requested a double portion of Elijah’s spirit. God needed Elisha’s ministry to be effective and granted him the power. How powerful was he with God’s spirit? Even after his death, the miracles were powerful. The dead man who got thrown into Elisha’s grave was the proof. When we are asking for God’s Spirit to guide us, don’t be afraid to ask for a "double dip". Someone may need it

The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit
Philippians 4:23
