[:en]Before Elijah was taken up to heaven, Elisha made a request to him: “Let me inherit a double portion of your spirit” (2 Kings 2:9) Elijah answered: “You have asked a difficult thing, yet if you see me when I am taken from you, it will be yours – otherwise not” (2 Kings 2:10)
Elisha gained a double portion of Elijah’s spirit – a tremendous privilege and blessings. We also have the promise from God, who has sent the Holy Spirit to dwell in our hearts.
The Holy Spirit is our

- Empowerer (Luke 24:49)

Let us be witnesses of His Spirit within us.[:]
