Filled with His Spirit!

THE STORY OF JESUS: 2 Kings 1-4
“‘Let me inherit a double portion of your spirit,’ Elisha replied.”
Elijah and Elisha were some of Israel’s greatest prophets, backed by God’s power.
The miracles they performed confirm that they have God’s Spirit and speak for God.
If God supports His old covenant messengers, how much more will He support us.
Jesus calls His followers greater than the greatest OT prophet (Matthew 11:11).
We have received the fullness of the Spirit of Jesus, anointing us as His prophets.
The Spirit of Jesus will work through our weak efforts, to give them impact.
Elijah, Elisha, John, and us, we’re all ordinary servants of God.
But when we speak and act in Jesus’ Name, amazing things happen.
As a Jesus follower, are you feeling confident to speak and act for God?
We should not look to these prophets for examples of being God’s prophets.
Jesus has show us what a God-pleasing ‘servant of God’ looks like.
Not being pushy or arrogant, but humbly, boldly showing and sharing His love!
We have more than a double portion of Elisha’s Spirit, ready to work through us.
Are we as eager as Elisha to be filled with the Spirit of Jesus in our lives?
What do you sense the Lord saying to you?
PRAYER
Lord, You have given us the Spirit of boldness and love, may we not let the spirit of doubt silence or stop us from being channels of Your grace!
