he is used in a great way okay he was at the mount of mount transfiguration with Jesus Christ he did a lot of great works so Elijah sees this and says I want to do twice as much than what you did I want a double portion of your power I want a double portion of your spirit and I'm going to explain to you what he meant by that look at verse 10 and he said that was asked a hard thing nevertheless if thou see me when I am taken from thee it shall be so unto thee but if not it shall not be so and it came to pass as they still went on and talked that behold there appeared a chariot of fire and horses of fire and part of them both asunder and Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven now what does he mean when he says the double portion well I just explained what that basically means is I want to do twice as much as you and what's interesting here is that in the beginning of second kings chapter two he's constantly telling Elijah Terry here at Bethel Terry here at this city Terry here well does that ring a bell to you look at Luke you don't have to turn to go uh go with me if you would to John chapter 16 I'm gonna read to you from Luke 24 verse 49 where it says and behold I send the promise of my father upon you but tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem until ye be endued with power from on high this is Jesus Christ speaking to the disciples and said hey Terry here at this city until ye be endued with power from on high what power is he referring to he's referring to the holy spirit look at John 16 verse 7 nevertheless I tell you the truth it is expedient for you that I go away for if I go not away the comforter will not come unto you but if I depart I will send him unto you that's the same thing we saw with Elijah and Elisha Elisha said look if I go you'll have that double portion if I don't go you're not getting it that's the way it works well that's a perfect picture of Jesus Christ and the believer why is that because he said there look if I don't go the comforter who's the holy spirit will not come but if I go he's gonna come that's the power that you're gonna be endued with to be a witness unto me and to all nations Jerusalem Judea Samaria uttermost parts of the world and that's why they're able to do a great work
