Consuming Desire, Holy Hunger

Prophets are called seers, with the ability to see into the spiritual realms. They are also able to discern the motivation of the human heart. The prophet's heart is focused on watching Almighty Yahweh. So often He will ask his prophets what they see. Elisha was following his spiritual father Elijah for years and yet there was a deeper desire in his heart for more.
The spiritual key here is to have a consuming desire, holy hunger, and desperation considering God's power to be manifested in your life. The majority of people don't have the anointing because they either have no desire or willingness to pay the price of total separation from the world. The Bible gives some great examples of people like Elisha, Jacob, Ruth the Moabite, David...etc who showed their commitment and have an earnest desire to receive from Almighty God. Their faith and wholeheartedly committed were honored by God. In 2 Kings 2:2 prophet Elijah said to Elisha, “Stay here, for the LORD has told me to go to Bethel.”
But Elisha replied, “As surely as the LORD lives and you live, I will never leave you!” So they went down together to Bethel".
Young Elisha knew deep within that he need to have much more than his spiritual father had been walking to face this generation that he was living in. Therefore he becomes desperate for more spiritual power. And God rewards this man but giving him the desire of his heart for his generation. It was the Lord Jesus who taught us in Matthew 5:5 that God blesses those who are humble, for they will inherit the whole earth. God will always fill a hungry and seeking heart. Elisha knows that Elijah will be taken up by Elohim and he refuses to let him go but was willing to see the divine manifestation. He  earnestly desire and pursue what was rightfully his " When they came to the other side, Elijah said to Elisha, “Tell me what I can do for you before I am taken away.”And Elisha replied, “Please let me inherit a double share of your spirit and become your successor.“You have asked a difficult thing,” Elijah replied. “If you see me when I am taken from you, then you will get your request. But if not, then you won’t. And as they were walking along and talking, suddenly a chariot of fire appeared, drawn by horses of fire. It drove between the two men, separating them, and Elijah was carried by a whirlwind into heaven.2 Kings 2:9-11. Elisha's eyes were fixed on Elijah and had seen the glorious departure into Heaven and he was alone. Understandably, he was weeping when he realized that he will not see anyone yet there his reword was lying on the ground, ready to be picked up and used purposefully. The spiritual mantle of Elijah was imparted to Elisha and the gift of the working of miracles was immediately activated when he stood before the river Jordan and called "Where is the Lord God of Elijah?". The spiritual mantle with double portion rested on Elisha and then the river divided again. In all this time there was a group of 50 prophets from the school of the prophets founded by the prophet Samuel watching from afar distance who saw the manifestation of this gift of the working a miracle and said "The spirit of Elijah rests upon Elisha".

The Days of Noah  Matthew 24:37-39, but as the days of Noah were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. 38  For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, 39  And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. https://youtu.be/-OBKd_1S61o

Unity

"The true mark of discipleship is love for one another". One of the keys to the Kingdom of God to operating in supernatural power is unity. For us as the disciples of Christ, the Bible is the blueprint of victory. The followers of Christ in the Early Church were united together in one place, one heart, and soul. They felt that what they owned was not their own, so they shared everything they had. ( Acts 2:1, 4:32). They have a desire and holy determination to remain united in the Upper Room until they received the promise of the Father. Today, before the Church will walk in the same supernatural power, it must come together in unity and love. Jesus Christ returns for His Bride whose heart is fixed and in one accord, awaiting the Bridegroom's return.

Anti-Christ

1 John 2:22 The purpose of the spirit of anti-Christ is to put the false Messiah in the place of the true Messiah, Yeshua the Jew, the Prince of Peace.  The closes false religion is Islam and the spirit of anti-Christ is operating through lies and deception. This religion is birthed and bathed in innocent blood. And their followers are possessed by the fall spirits or demons, known as the fallen angels that ride on them under Allah, the moon God, or Lucifer, the prince of darkness. Therefore you either accept Islam or you are there a target for destruction. So as the true followers of Christ, we are at war for the truth, with the spirit of anti-Christ. Yeshua, the Messiah is the only way, the truth, and life, and no one can enter into His Father's Kingdom except through Yeshua, the Messiah.
