2 KINGS 2:1 Just before God took Elijah to heaven in a whirlwind, Elijah and Elisha were on a walk out of Gilgal.
2 Elijah said to Elisha, “Stay here. God has sent me on an errand to Bethel.” Elisha said, “Not on your life! I’m not letting you out of my sight!” So they both went to Bethel.
3 The guild of prophets at Bethel met Elisha and said, “Did you know that God is going to take your master away from you today?” “Yes,” he said, “I know it. But keep it quiet.”

2 KINGS 2:7 Meanwhile, fifty men from the guild of prophets gathered some distance away while the two of them stood at the Jordan.
8 Elijah took his cloak, rolled it up, and hit the water with it. The river divided and the two men walked through on dry land. MSG

2 KINGS 2:9 When they reached the other side, Elijah said to Elisha, “What can I do for you before I’m taken from you? Ask anything.” Elisha said, “Your life repeated in my life. I want to be a holy man just like you.”
10 “That’s a hard one!” said Elijah. “But if you’re watching when I’m taken from you, you’ll get what you’ve asked for. But only if you’re watching.”
11 And so it happened. They were walking along and talking. Suddenly a chariot and horses of fire came between them and Elijah went up in a whirlwind to heaven.
12 Elisha saw it all and shouted, “My father, my father! You – the chariot and cavalry of Israel!” When he could no longer see anything, he grabbed his robe and ripped it to pieces. MSG

YOU ARE A THREE PART BEING  2-6-26 VIDEO SPIRIT SOUL BODY

You are a spirit you have a soul, which is your mind, will, and emotions, and you live in a body. Made in the image in the likeness of God. God created us to act like Him to think like Him and to have life like Him. Our life with God is that we work in the light just like He is in the light. Paul makes Jesus his reason for living.

30 After God made that decision of what his children should be like, he followed it up by calling people by name. After he called them by name, he set them on a solid basis with himself.

THE AUTHORITY OF THE SPOKEN WORD OF GOD 2-1-26 VIDEO
Reinhard Bonnke said that the Lord spoke to him that the words that came out of his mouth were as powerful as the words that came out of God‘s mouth. Our words have power. Our words conveyed more than information they have an impact on people. The power to use God‘s word is a powerful gift.
HEB 4:12 The message God spoke to us in Christ, is the most life giving and dynamic influence in us, cutting like a surgeon’s scalpel, sharper than a soldier’s sword, piercing to the deepest core of human conscience, to the dividing of soul and spirit; ending the dominance of the sense realm and its neutralizing effect upon the human spirit. In this way a person’s spirit is freed to become the ruling influence again in the thoughts and intentions of their heart. The scrutiny of this living Sword-Logos detects every possible disease, discerning the body’s deepest secrets where joint and bone-marrow meet. MIRROR

Jer 1:9 God reached out, touched my mouth, and said, “Look! I’ve just put my words in your mouth — hand-delivered!

12 When you call on me and come to me in prayer, I will listen to your every word.

THE SPIRIT OF WISDOM 1-25-26 VIDEO

What is the Spirit of wisdom? It is not the wisdom of this world. Wisdom is a spiritual gift from God. It’s not some mystery given to just a few. Wisdom helps us know God better.

Job 28:12 “But where, oh where, will they find Wisdom? Where does Insight hide?

13 Mortals don’t have a clue, haven’t the slightest idea where to look.

14 Earth’s depths say, ‘It’s not here’; ocean deeps echo, ‘Never heard of it.’

15 It can’t be bought with the finest gold; no amount of silver can get it.

16 Even famous Ophir gold can’t buy it, not even diamonds and sapphires.

17 Neither gold nor emeralds are comparable; extravagant jewelry can’t touch it.

18 Pearl necklaces and ruby bracelets — why bother? None of this is even a down payment on Wisdom!

19 Pile gold and African diamonds as high as you will, they can’t hold a candle to Wisdom.

20 “So where does Wisdom come from? And where does Insight live?

JOB 28:23 “God alone knows the way to Wisdom, he knows the exact place to find it.

24 He knows where everything is on earth, he sees everything under heaven.

25 After he commanded the winds to blow and measured out the waters,
