INTRODUCTION: Following Elisha's call into the prophetic ministry and his years of being mentored, it was now time for
Elisha to step into his calling. He is bold in his desire to preach.


I. What is a prophet of God?

1. Men called of God to declare "Thus says the Lord"
2. Give forth messages to disobedient Kings and people
3. Give insight into future events
4. Deal with false prophets Deuteronomy 18:20-22


II. Elijah prepares to be translated

1. Elijah joins Enoch in heaven Genesis 5:24 & Hebrews 11:5
2. Elijah and Enoch to return during the Great Tribulation
Revelation 11:2-12


III. The mantle falls upon Elisha (II Kings 2)

1. A double portion - A seeker heart (vs. 9)
2. The ascension of Elijah and Jesus Christ (vs. 11)
3. The mantle of Elijah and Jesus (vs. 13)
4. The miraculous falls on Elijah and believers (vs.14)
(The Holy Spirit) John 16:7
5. The signs that follow believers Mark 16:17-20



CONCLUSION: Living in the supernatural is what God desires of this church. A miracle is when God accomplishes what seems to be impossible to you. It is the power of the Holy Spirit operating in you that makes His church alive.
