From the Old Testament we read where Elisha asked for a Double Portion of the anointing of Elijah and the anointing was passed over to Elisha. This power was give through prophecy and the passing of the mantel of Elijah.
We today also have the opportunity to receive a Double Portion from our Lord Jesus. To believe Jesus is the Son of God and that He died for our sins saves you from eternal damnation. However, the baptism of Jesus will give you power to overcome sin and spiritual gifts to demonstrate Jesus power that is living within you. Now is the time for all to receive the baptism of the Holy Spirit.
Receiving a Double Portion
Word of the Week
And so it was, when they had crossed over, that 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.”
So he said, “You have asked a hard thing. Nevertheless, if you see me when I am taken from you, it shall be so for you; but if not, it shall not be so.” 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.

And it happened, while Apollos was at Corinth, that Paul, having passed through the upper regions, came to Ephesus. And finding some disciples he said to them, “Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you believed?”
So they said to him, “We have not so much as heard whether there is a Holy Spirit.”
3And he said to them, “Into what then were you baptized?”
So they said, “Into John’s baptism.”
Then Paul said, “John indeed baptized with a baptism of repentance, saying to the people that they should believe on Him who would come after him, that is, on Christ Jesus.”
When they heard this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. And when Paul had laid hands on them, the Holy Spirit came upon them, and they spoke with tongues and prophesied. Now the men were about twelve in all.
