What Faithfulness Affords

In the story of Elijah and Elisha we find the moment where Elisha is asked what do you want.  

His faithfulness and obedience to stay with Elijah afforded him this request and God honored that request. 

So as we look at this story we can ask ourselves what does our faithfulness afford. 

In the season we are counting the Omer we are anticipating what God desires to do on the day of Pentecost.  As we celebrate this feast, I want to have put in my request to God for a portion of his spirit to be poured out in my life so that those that have been destroyed by evil can be made whole.

My second request is that those who are unsure of what God is doing that their eyes would be open to see that God is working all around us and be able to walk in faith that banishes all fear. 

Elijah performs 8 miracles in his time, Elisha then went on to perform 15 miracles during his life.  The final miracle happened after he had been buried and a dead man was placed upon his grave.  God honored the request of a double position..  

When we ask according to God's will and we believe that he hears us he has given us everything that we need. 

How are you approaching Pentecost this year?

What is your ask or request to God for the day of Pentecost?

What part of the word came alive to you?
