Elijah said to Elisha, "Ask! What may I do for you, before I am taken away from you?" Elisha said, "Please let a double portion of your spirit be upon me." II Kings 2:9
Elijah said to Elisha, "Ask! What may I do for you, before I am taken away from you?" Elisha said, "Please let a double portion of your spirit be upon me." II Kings 2:9
Elijah had a powerful anointing from God and with his mantle he could indeed perform many miraculous feats and supernatural works of faith! The mantle was worn by men of God such as prophets and it represented the power, anointing, spiritual covering and authority of God!
About to be taken up into Heaven Elijah asked Elisha what he could do for him, and he said, "Please let a double portion of your spirit be upon me." And so it was that the anointing and mantel of Elijah fell upon Elisha as he watched him ascend into Heaven. So Elisha picked up the mantle of Elijah and received a double portion of his spirit!
The anointing of God's Holy Spirit is given by the laying on of hands, by asking God for His anointing and by a supernatural outpouring such as happened at Pentecost! In any case we should ask God for His anointing and also for a "Double Portion" of His Holy Spirit!
Then it happened as they continued on and talked, that suddenly a chariot of fire appeared with horses of fire, and separated the two of them, and Elijah went up by a whirlwind into Heaven. II Kings 2:11
