Double Portion Covenant


               Through this new Covenant we have received a double portion

               Anointing. In Judaism they only knew the Father but in our

               Covenant we know both the Father and the Son. John 14:23

               Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will

               keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come

               unto him, and make our abode with him. John 17:21 That they

               all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they

               also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast

               sent me. Hebrews 8:1-6 now of the things which we have


               spoken this is the sum: We have such an high priest, who is set

               on the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens; A

               minister of the sanctuary, and of the true tabernacle, which the

               Lord pitched, and not man. For every high priest is ordained to

               offer gifts and sacrifices: wherefore it is of necessity that this

               man has somewhat also to offer. For if he were on earth, he

               should not be a priest, seeing that there are priests that offer gifts

               according to the law: Who serve unto the example and shadow

               of heavenly things, as Moses was admonished of God when he

               was about to make the tabernacle: for, See, saith he, that thou

               make all things according to the pattern shewed to thee in the


               mount. But now hath he obtained a more excellent ministry, by

               how much also he is the mediator of a better covenant, which

               was established upon better promises. The Story of Elisha is a

               typology of our ministry and anointing in the new Covenant. He
