According to the Thompson Chain Reference Bible Elijah performed seven miracles during his life. Elisha performed thirteen. Both of them divided the Jordon River and they each raised a dead child to life. The last miracle credited to Elisha was the most unusual. 2 Kings 13 says, “Elisha died and was buried…Once while some Israelites were burying a man…they threw the man’s body into Elisha’s tomb. When the body touched Elisha’s bones, the man came to life and stood up on his feet” (verses 20-21). Truly Elisha inherited a double portion of Elijah’s anointing.
“But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you…”
— Acts 1:8 (NIV 1984)
Lord Jesus, give us a double portion of the Holy Spirit. In Your holy name I pray. Amen.
