At Gilgal, there's no supernatural nothing.

You love the word, don't you? You want your double portion, don't you? Are you ready for your double portion today? If you are, say yes. Hallelujah. Father, today bless your word with the anointing of the Holy Ghost. And where your anointing is, Lord, there will be power and there will be life.

Grant it today in Jesus' name, and the people said Second Kings, chapter 2. Second Kings chapter 2. Now, Elisha got his double portion. And today, you're going to get yours. Say amen. Now, remember that last week we we began teaching on the on this great subject called the double portion anointing.

And Elisha had to go through certain steps. And none of us will ever get to our double anointing, double portion, unless we follow the same steps. Elijah, as you all recall, is a type of the Lord. And Elisha is a type of you and I. Everything in the Old Testament is a shadow.

And everything you and I have is the substance of that shadow. Moses, Elijah, Elisha, the prophets walked in type, walked in shadow. Here's my shadow, here's I. All you see is the shadow, but the real thing is right here walking, talking, living. We have the substance of everything they talked about.

So, when you read the word, understand this. Number one, there are are no meaningless scriptures. Number two, there are no meaningless details. Everything in this book is there for a reason. And when you see it and you understand you're looking at a shadow of something that you will walk in, it'll make a whole better it'll make the difference.

So, when I look at Elisha, I see a shadow. But thank God the shadow has a substance. And the substance is mine and yours. Say today, I'm getting the substance of the double portion. Say it. I'm getting the substance of the double Hallelujah. Now, you remember that Elijah led Elisha when he found him.

First of all, he found him in 1 Kings 19:19 now. And when he found him, he was plowing. Then in 2 Kings 2, he begins to take him to different locations, which are all symbolic of where you and I go in in Christ Jesus before we get to our second portion.

The first place he took him to was called Gilgal. Say it. Now, ladies and gentlemen, I want you to do two things for me this morning. I want you to pump it out of me by saying amen. No preacher can preach without a people pumping it out of him.

So, how many pumps do I got here? You Oh, yeah. Hallelujah. And secondly, when I say something good, show that you're receiving it. Move your eyelids, move your eyes, shake your head, anything you want. Shake Anything Just show me you're there. Marvelous. Say after me, I'm no dead duck.

Look at somebody. Look Look at somebody and say, I am living in resurrection power. Right, Larry. All right. Number one, he took him to Gilgal. What is Gilgal? Gilgal is the place of religious activity with no supernatural. Remember now, last week I gave you all this, but we'll just have a little recap for the sake of those who were not here.

When Elijah took Elisha to Gilgal, he did not take him there so he can visit friends. Gilgal in 2 Kings chapter 2 verse 1, the Bible says he took him to Gilgal. Gilgal is the same place where Joshua came to in Joshua chapter 5. And the Bible declares when Joshua came to Gilgal, that's when the manna ceased.

That's where the cloud [screaming] no longer appeared by day and night, the fire by night. Remember, the children of Israel had the cloud and fire 40 long years. It disappeared at Gilgal. The manna came every day, but at Gilgal, it ceased. What is Gilgal? Gilgal in your experience and mine is where you and I get to after salvation.

They came out of Egypt like you and I are saved. It's the same type, same shadow. Then we get into Gilgal, and when you get to Gilgal after you're born again, the supernatural quits. That's when the manna ceased. That's when the glory quit coming. That's when the fire disappeared and the cloud disappeared.

Sir, what is Gilgal? Gilgal is religion with no power. And nobody here wants that. A lot of people get to Gilgal and like to stay there. Gilgal is after you're saved. Watch this. A lot of people are in Gilgal right now. Maybe some of them watching me on TV.

They get to a church. Now, here you are. Just been born again. Everybody will agree here it took the power of God to get you out of Egypt. It took the power of God to bring you out of sin. And everybody here has experienced the cloud and the fire that brought you out.

But when you come out and you end up in Gilgal, you say, "What happened to the fire that brought me? What's happened to the power that I knew when I got saved?" Man, I've talked to more people who said, "Oh, if I can only feel what I felt when I got saved."

Or when I when I was filled with the spirit. How come it's no longer here? Cuz you're at Gilgal. At Gilgal, there's no supernatural nothing. But God takes you there for a purpose. Why? To show you that life without the supernatural is dead. Elijah took Elisha to Gilgal and saw if he going to enjoy it there.

And Elisha said, "No way. I am not staying in Gilgal. I'm moving on." Because in Gilgal, there's no double portion. In Gilgal, there's no power. But a lot of folks enjoy Gilgal. They got saved. "Oh, that's all I want," they say. I'm glad I'm been born again, but just keep me right here where it's all comfortable.

Religious activity with banana splits, but no more. I I I'm going to stick around here in this nice church. Brother, it's at Gilgal you have dead churches. No fire, no cloud. The Bible said the cloud was there by day, the fire was there by night. The manna came every morning.

But at Gilgal, it quits. And they say, "No, no, no, Lord. You know, I'm enjoying it here at Gilgal. I want no more." But ladies and gentlemen, we've got to go beyond Gilgal. Say hallelujah. Because at Gilgal, there's no cloud. At Gilgal, there's no fire. At Gilgal, there's no manna.

And I don't want to stay if the fire quits. I don't want to stay if the manna quits. I don't want to stay if the glory leaves. I want to follow where it goes. And Elisha said, "I'm not sticking around here, friend." He said, "Elijah, I'm going to where the manna is, where the fire is, where I want my double portion."

And so, the Bible declares he went on. Sadly, a lot of wonderful Christians think Gilgal is heaven. They At Gilgal, there's no promises. It is at Gilgal where the supernatural quits. See. The Bible declares, ladies and gentlemen, please please hear this. The Bible declares God gave his people promises.

And he said, "I'm going to take you to a land filled with milk and honey." They came to Gilgal, and at Gilgal, there was no milk and no honey. At Gilgal, there was no power. Joshua said, "No, this is not the place we're supposed to be in." We go through this so God will test us and see are we going to believe for more?

Are we Are we Are we going to expect a lot more than just this? There's And there's a lot of wonderful, precious, dear Christians who sit in church in church Sunday after after after Sunday thinking this is heaven. They read about prosperity and about healings and about miracles, but they can't see anything else except they they hear how it used to be.

Or how it may be. Gilgal is how it used to be. And I'm sick and tired of hearing of how it used to be. And there's a lot of precious of precious folks attending churches that are dead. And They've They've They've done in Gilgal. And I don't blame the people of God.

I blame the preachers. Cuz it's preachers that lead people out of Gilgal. Except they're enjoying the little dead him him him books and little dead choir and little dead sermons. But we're not satisfied. How many have come out of Gilgal? Let me hear it. After Gilgal, he took him to Bethel.

Bethel is the place of greatest great decisions, like I said last week. God causes great decisions at Bethel. That's where Jacob made his decision for God. He said, "Lord, if you'll be with me, if you'll use me, if you'll bless me, I'll give you my life. I'll give you everything I got.

The place of great decisions is Bethel. A lot of us are not willing to go beyond Gilgal and say, "I surrender all." [groaning] It was at Bethel that Saul failed God. Samuel had said, "Go there and wait for me." And Saul won't wait. It was at Bethel that Jacob, on his way back, fought with God.

[screaming] Place of wrestling, place of decision. Decision can get you the second anointing, the double portion. Cuz sir, you cannot get the double portion at the place you die. After Bethel, he took him to Jericho. Jericho is the place of warfare. That's where you're going to fight fight devils.

Jesus faced Satan in Jericho when he was tempted for 40 days and 40 nights. But you see, a lot of us wonderful Christians are saved, end up in Gilgal, and say, "Oh, what a wonderful life this is. I am a Christian. I'm born again, but there's no power."

But you see, God says, "Go on." And when you go on, you make a decision and say, "Lord, I don't want Gilgal. I want more. I'll give you my life, my finances, my home, my all." When you do that, the first person you'll meet is the devil. I want you to hear this and never forget it.

When you surrender to God, your whole being, you'll never meet the Holy Ghost right after that. The first person who'll appear is the devil. Benny Hinn, hold it. No, you listen. You all hear. You all hear this. The first thing you will face when you say, "God, I give you my home, life, finances, all."

You're going to see the devil come and say, "Let me show you what else you can have if you won't do that." See, when Jesus said, "That's it." The devil came and said, "I'll give you all these kingdoms if you'll bow down to me." You'll find the devil always after you surrender.

Are you all listening here? And when you find him and fight him, he'll try to discourage you. He'll try to stop you. And you know, a lot of Christians don't want to go back, I mean, don't want to go any uh further than maybe Gilgal or Bethel because there's devils on the way.

Oh, you know what, Benny Hinn, just leave me at Gilgal cuz I'm enjoying church. I like my hymn book and I like my dad preacher and I like my friends and this is what uh you know, I paid for the for the pew at Gilgal. I enjoy my pew.

There's a lot of Gilgal. I put I I you know what, I know the cloud isn't there. I know fire is I know there's no power there, but you know what, Benny Hinn, I put a lot of money in that Gilgal spot. And I'm enjoying my Gilgal. And you know why I'm enjoying my Gilgal?

I'm not sure I want to make any decisions for God. And you know what? I don't want to face no devils. Those at Gilgal don't believe that that Christians can have demons. You Are you hearing this? Those at Gilgal aren't willing to face Satan and say, "I'll fight him and win over him."

But when you make a decision for God, he'll show up. But when he shows up and war breaks out, always remember, always remember, warfare surrounds [screaming] the birth of a miracle. When war erupts, miracles are just next door. Say, "When war erupts Say it again. One more time. I'm about to get my miracle."

Glory to God. >> [applause and cheering] >> You see, they don't want to they don't want to fight, but what they don't know is only through fighting can you get a miracle. God said to Joshua, he said, "Possess it with war." Get your possession, get your miracle with a war. I wrote something.

Isn't that fantastic? Oh man, I like this stuff. Each day of adversity will get you closer to your throne. If you stick in Gilgal, there's no miracles at Gilgal. Remember, there's no cloud, no fire at Gilgal. No manna at Gilgal. There's death at Gilgal. They ate at It's If you read Joshua 5, it says in Gilgal, they ate the old corn.

You eat old stuff they've been eating for 60 100 years at Gilgal. At Bethel, there's death and surrender. But it takes that, brother, to get the miracle. And then you go beyond that and you face demons and devils, you're casting them out left and right. But it's in that miracle I'm I should say it's it's it's in that battle you'll get your miracle.

Oh man, I feel something here. Oh, I I tell you, the God showed me something was fantastic. He said, "When you fight Satan, you get recognition in hell and recognition in heaven." Jim, when you fight Satan, all the demons say, "Oh, poor devil, he's getting whipped." They recognize that Jim is beating him.

When you fight Satan, all heaven says, "Look at that boy." >> ((cheering)) >> Say "You get recognition." Say, "When I fight I get recognition." Now, listen to this. Right after your battle, right after the war, right after you face every devil you can imagine. Here you are coming out of Egypt, just been born again.

Watch this. Here you are coming out of Egypt. And God says to you, "Over there is the promised land and over there, you're going to have healing, prosperity, blessings, everything you've ever desired." Oh yeah, Lord, I want it. On the way, you stop in Gilgal and say, "Oh, I like this little church here.

This nice little pastor with a nice choir, nice hymn book, little sermons about 20 minutes long, and we all go home at 12:00." A lot of people enjoy Gilgal. But no miracles. They all die before they ought to. They all accept sickness as the will of God. Are you hearing what I'm talking about?

If devils show up, it's psychology. We'll get them out. You go see psychiatrist. Maybe we can counsel the Maybe we can counsel the this spirit out of you. Are you Are you all listening? Let's see if if they'll get to Bethel, they're they're they're going to fight they're going to find the God says, "You can't get any closer unless you die."

Oh no, I don't like that. Then stay at Gilgal. But if you're willing to pay the price, give all, you're going to face devils right here. That's what most folks are afraid of. They'll gladly die. They'll all say, "I surrender all." But face demons? Uh-uh, no. That devil stuff don't belong to me.

I don't want to face Satan. But when you do, and you will win. You will win. You know why? Because you'll never go to Jericho alone. Where are you Hey, remember this. Elijah was with him every step of the way. Jesus will be with you every step of the way.

And since he's been there before you, he knows the way. And when you fight and you win, something will happen. What happened at Jordan? When he got to Jordan, he received something fantastic. It's called spiritual sight. God opens your eyes [screaming] in Jordan. Hallelujah. It was at the Jordan John the Baptist saw the Holy Ghost come like a dove.

At the Jordan, Elisha saw the chariots of fire. What is in Jordan? Jordan is the place of spiritual vision. Jordan is the place of spiritual sight. And sir, you cannot get your double portion until you see the promises of God. You got to see it before you get it.

Say, "I got to see it." Say it again. Say it again. Abraham had to see Isaac before he got him. The Bible declares in Jeremiah 1:11, "What do you see?" And Jeremiah said, I see an almond tree." He said, "Now, because you've seen it, I will hasten my word to perform it."

Sir, when you see, that's when the promise begins coming your way with power. You'll never get your double portion until you start seeing with the eyes of faith. Now, watch this. Why does the devil fight you to keep you blind? Battles produce spiritual sight or spiritual blindness. Let me say it again.

When you fight Satan, if you face him without Jesus, you'll you'll become blinded. If you face him with the name of Jesus, you'll become a man of faith. You'll see with the eye of faith. You'll see the promises [screaming] of God Almighty. It's like this, sir. Watch this. Hello.

Watch this. Here you are, just came out of Egypt. You end up in Gilgal saying, "Uh-huh, I don't want to like this place. It's a nothing but a dead duck spot." You go on to Bethel and say, "God, I give you my life." You go on to Jericho and fight devils.

And when you're fighting devils, here's what happens. You've been hearing, "With his stripes I'm healed." But at Jericho, sickness hits you. Are you going to quit seeing sickness and start seeing healing? You see You see Watch Watch Watch this. The devil attacks you with sight of the of the opposite of what God promised you.

God over here says, "Over there is healing." But when you get there, you you're attacked by sickness on the way. Thinking, "Now, God, are you sure I'm going to get my healing? You said healing is on the way." What God didn't tell you is on the way to your healing will be a sickness.

Cuz demons will attack you with everything that they'll You see, if God says, "On the other end is prosperity," poverty will come up halfway. Hear this. At Gilgal, you'll find spiritual death. At Bethel, you'll find division. At Jericho, you'll find every opposite demon to everything you've wanted in life.

If you've been believing for financial prosperity, a Jericho will attack you a devil of poverty. If you've been looking for a miracle of healing in in the physical realm, the sickness will attack you at Jericho. Now, sir, what will you do? Will you quit there and say, "No, this don't work.

God promised me healing, but I'm going to die here." Or will you say, "I'm going to win in Jesus' name and get my sight." And when you get your sight, hear this. When you get your spiritual vision, you'll get it in that battle. And you're going to say, "No, I am not going to die.

No, I am not going to quit. No cancer will stop me. No poverty will me. I'm going to go on with God." >> [cheering and applause] >> And brother, you'll get there. You'll get there, but you won't get there till you see you're there. Hear this. Never look at what you can see.

Always look at what you can have. Don't look at that sickness. Look at that healing beyond that sickness. Don't look at that devil of poverty. Look at that blessing back beyond that. Jordan gives me spiritual vision. And when I get my vision of spiritual things that I have believed for for so long, something's going to happen.

The Bible says in 2 Kings 2 that the second he saw Let me just read this. Let's just go back and read this. This is fantastic stuff. Oh, hallelujah. Say hallelujah. All right. Verse 8, "And Elijah took his mantle and wrapped it together and smote the waters and they were divided in twain, so that they two went over on dry ground.

And it came to pass when they were gone over that Elijah said unto Elisha, 'Ask what I shall give for I should say ask what I shall do for thee before I be taken away.'" "And Elisha said, 'I pray thee,'" That's your prayer. That's mine. "Let a double portion of thy spirit be upon me."

Hallelujah. "He said, 'Thou has asked a hard thing. Nevertheless, if thou see if thou Come on. If thou If thou If thou And we'll [snorts] not speak in Spanish here this morning. If thou what? If thou what? If thou what? If you can't see it, you'll never get it.

That's the place of vision. If thou see me when I am taken from thee, it shall be so unto thee, but if not, it shall not be so. And it came to pass as they still went on and talked and behold that behold, there appeared a chariot of fire and horses of fire and parted them both asunder.

And Elijah went up by whirlwind into heaven. And Elisha saw it. Boy, that's the key right there. Elisha saw it and he cried, "My father, my father, the chariot of Israel and the horsemen thereof." And he saw him no more. And he took hold of his own clothes and rent them in two pieces.

Now, this is fantastic. Look. Look. Look. Hello. Look. This is incredible. Spiritual vision will tear off the old man. When he saw When he saw When he saw the double portion coming down, he said, "I got to get rid of what I got." Sir, you can never Oh, man alive.

Look at me. Look at me. This is in If you'll only grasp this thing. Saints, look at me. When I see that he is my righteousness, that's when I say, "Bye-bye, sin." When I see he is my healer, that's when I can say, "Bye-bye, [screaming] sickness." You can never tear off the negative until you see the positive.

You can never let go of the old until you see the new. It was been It was when Bartimaeus heard the words of Jesus. Remember Bartimaeus, who was a blind man, and blind people in those days wore garments that said, "I'm blind." You see, the the the Jews in those days had it in their tradition that if you're blind, you had to wear a garment that said, "I'm blind."

And when you had that garment on, my Lord, that's when they helped you to get home and fed you. Without that garment, you would have died. It was their insurance policy that kept you alive. His garment was his policy that said, "I am a blind man. Help me get home.

Feed me. Keep me alive." And when Jesus said, "Bring him here," the Bible says in that that Bartimaeus in Luke it says Bartimaeus cast away his garment. In other words, when he saw his miracle, he said, "I don't need that garment no more." You got to let go of the old to get the new.

And when he saw, he tore his clothes off. He said, "I'm about to get a new mantle. Why do I need this old one to fool?" And so, what is it? Spiritual vision tears off the old man and spiritual vision puts on the new man. When I see by his stripes I'm healed, I'll be free from what I got on me.

And I'll bring on what's coming to me. When I see I am his righteousness, I will no longer see myself a sinner. I'll see myself a saint. And I no longer go with a head bowed, tail be tail under my legs saying, "Oh God, I am so unworthy to walk in your presence."

I'll walk in and say, "Father God, today I love you." I walk into the holiest of holies not with guilt, but with freedom from condemnation. Why? That's because Hear this. Hear this. Hear this. Why do I walk into his presence with freedom? Because when I read the word, I believed it.

When I believed it, I saw it. When I walk in, I don't walk in as a sinner. I walk as a child of God. Brother, if you'll see yourself, always know this. I'm going to say this. The devil will see you the way you see yourself. In Numbers, it declares In Numbers 14, it declares that when they saw themselves as grasshoppers, so did the enemy see them in that same fashion.

Numbers 14, the last verse says, "We were in our own sight as grasshoppers." Fred, read that. It's incredible. Numbers 14, verse 23, 24. I think it's the last verse. Let me see. No, yes, it's I'm sorry. It's It's Numbers 13, not 14. 13:33. It says, "We were in our own sight as grasshoppers.

And so were we in their sight." The way you see yourself is the is is is the way hell sees you. Read that, Fred. And there we saw the giants, the sons of Anak, which come out of the out of the giants. And we were in our own sight as grasshoppers. >> And?

And so we were in their sight. >> Look at me. Say the way I see myself is the way hell sees me. How many of you don't want to see hell see you sick? How many of you don't want to see hell see you poor? How many of you don't want to see hell see you as a sinner?

Then but you better see your yourself like God says. Sir, hear this. When Caleb and Joshua entered to spy the promised land with the other 10 spies, what did they see? They didn't see giants. They saw grapes. 10 saw giants and two saw grapes. The 10 said, "Look how big those giants are."

And Joshua and Caleb said, "Look how big those grapes are." It's not the giants I see, brother. It's the grapes I see, brother. Then when they said, "Oh God, there's a big giant there in Jericho. I don't think I want to go any further because he's going to kill me."

Joshua said, "Forget the giant, man. I see grapes beyond that giant." And I don't see a giant, I see a grasshopper. Say, "I won't see the giants, I'll see the grapes." Lift your hands, say, "I'll see the grapes." Say it again. Say it again. And 10 of them came back with a report of giants and two came back carrying the grapes.

It's look at the grapes over here. Yes, but there is in the promised land. But when we came, they said, "We saw giants and we were oh God, we're going to die." And Joshua said and Caleb said, "No, no, we didn't see no giants. Those giants are a bunch of nothings.

What we saw was the grapes, not the giants." And those who saw the grapes were the only ones who ever entered. Those who saw And those who saw the giants all died in the wilderness. And those that believed there were giants died with them. Think about it, 3 million Jews, only two of them made it.

And the only two who made it were the ones that saw grapes. My Lord is right, brother. When God says, "With his [screaming] stripes you are healed." Don't you dare see any giant in the way that'll say, "Aha, you're going to die." No way I'm not going to die.

I just finished a video. Most powerful thing I've ever seen. I got a lot of videos, man, but this video is a special one. I stood by the Sea of Galilee and read every healing scripture in the Bible. Just word. Just nothing but word. And I gave little things after every verse, just a little thing.

But it was just pure word. I was sitting watching that in my house, my wife Suzanne with me, and Kenneth Hagin was there with us. And man, I was trembling watching this thing, so anointed. God said, "You know why I anointed it? Cuz it's just pure word." I was reading scripture.

I went through every book of the Bible and read healing scriptures out of the Bible. Put it on video with a beautiful sea I mean, it's just gorgeous where I was. And I was sitting there just shaking watching this thing. Everybody here ought to get this video. I'm telling it's powerful.

But why? Cuz I was reading promise after promise after promise after promise. All I was doing is saying, "Look how big those grapes are." Word, word, word, word. Didn't see no giants on the way. God says, "I'm going to bless you." Somebody says, "Oh God, I'm cursed." Stop that junk.

God says you're healed. He says, "Oh God, I'm going to die." Stop seeing that stuff. Change your vision. But you'll never change it till you go through Gilgal, Bethel, and Jericho. And at Jordan, God switches your eyesight. And when he does, you'll see the chariots of fire. And you'll get the double portion.

And when that double portion is coming down your way, you'll tear off the old man, say, "Bye-bye sin. Bye-bye flesh. Bye-bye filth. Bye-bye death. Come on, double portion." And brother, when that glorious portion comes on your life, when that I feel that thing in my toes, man. When Joshua came, I felt marvelous.

I feel just as marvelous preaching this. Glory. >> [screaming] >> Say glory. >> ((cheering)) >> Man, you you see that glorious big bunch of grapes on the other side, you say, "Who cares about what's on the way?" Here Here What Here's Here's the big bunch of grapes. Everything I've ever wanted.

And here are the some folks in Gilgal. Where he leads me, I will follow. I'll go with him all the way. Oh, you do? Oh, listen here, you Gilgalites. Here you are in first whatever of Gilgal and saying, "Oh God, heal my body." You're going to die. And listen, boy, you're going to die.

There's no resurrection in Gilgal. You're going to die. All Gilgalites end up in the hospital. Or somewhere. There's no resurrection power there. At Bethel, it's good you surrender. But now, are you willing to pay the the price of surrender? At Jericho, you see warriors. And at that wall, my miracles start happening.

And when you win, a miracle is born. When you've gone through this adversity, you see the throne. And when you get to Jordan, God says, "Now open his eyes." If you don't leave Gilgal, God may cause you to be thrown out. I'd rather leave than be kicked out of Gilgal.

So, what are you Gilgalites doing in your Gilgal place? Get out. Gilgal is full of dead ducks. No cloud, no fire, no no Get out. And I I'm going to tell you, if you don't get out, God may throw you out to get you to where you ought to be.

Here you are, "Oh God, heal my body." God says, "You It's going to happen over there." There. Not here, there. Oh, but God, I don't want to fight devils. You're going to have to. Cuz you'll never win unless you fight. Well, but but God, I don't like fighting.

You see, you'll never Hear this. You'll never overcome unless there's a battle to overcome. And Revelation says, "To him who overcomes will I give." God only gives to overcomers. There's no wimps in heaven. I'm on my way to glory. Somebody say hallelujah. And brother, when he tore his garment off, when he tore his clothes and said, "Bye-bye old man."

He got that mantle and he whipped that river. Every time rivers split. And the Jordan split three times with Joshua, Elijah, and Elisha. A split Jordan speaks of one thing and one thing only, the resurrection. Resurrection power came on him. He got the new man on him. He was raised to a new man and new life.

And the first miracle he performed is fantastic. He shows up in Jericho again where there's still battles. Remember, even after your double portion, battles go on. And in Jericho, they tell him, "There's poison here." Look look at me, will you? I'm going to give it to you in just a second.

Just They say, "Hey Elisha, the waters here are poisoned. We can't drink the waters." You know what he said? He said, "Give me a cruise. Put water in it." He throws salt inside, pours it in the river, or pours it in the water in the fountain there, and the waters are healed.

He says, "Thus says Thus says the Lord, it's here." What is salt? Salt will neutralize anything it touches. If it touches a wound, it'll stop bleeding. The Holy Spirit said to me, "When the double portion comes on you, you become a neutralizing force." Whoa. When you step into somewhere and you'll neutralize wickedness and evil all around you.

You touch sickness and it dies. Your hands become neutralizing hands. You touch demon-possessed people and neutralize the devil in them. You touch sickness and it'll die as you touch it. Are you hearing me? Say, "I become a neutralizing force." How many want that in your life? Say amen.

Salt in the Bible, hear this, salt in the Bible is a symbol of holiness. Jesus said you're the salt of the earth. Colossians says, "Let your words be seasoned with salt." Salt every time you speak words from heaven, you neutralize sin. Neutralize sickness. Stop death. And when he put salt in those waters it said there'll be no more death.

Imagine walking around laying hands on folks and neutralizing devils in every one of them. How many want that glorious double portion in your life? Say amen. How many of you want to You some of you precious ladies have husbands that are full of devils. Imagine walking home just laying hands on the boy.

And when you touch him he's free from everything he's ever done. Imagine laying hands on your boy and that drug devil comes out of him. Imagine touching that pillow that your husband sleeps on and when he touches it he'll be born again. That's power. That's the double portion.

The double Brother everywhere you go there'll be power all around you. You'll neutralize devils and sins and sickness and hell itself will come to a standstill when you walk in. And the second thing that Elisha did which was fantastic, I had never seen this before. I thought what a terrible thing to do to these precious children.

I read that the first time I said Then God showed something to me I said a whole different than the first one. Look please, will you? Verse 23, 2 Kings 2. Now that's it's We're all in 2 Kings still now, remember. And he went up from thence unto Bethel.

And as he was going up by way by the way there came forth little children out of the city and mocked him and said unto him, "Go up, thou bald head. Go up, thou bald head." Don't you dare look at me like that. They were not mocking his bald head.

They weren't. See I always thought they were mocking his bald head and and for that they all died. But that's not That's not what it says. They were mocking, "Go up. Go up, thou bald man." They were not mocking him. They were mocking Elijah's translation to heaven. Because see, Jericho was filled with wicked people and those wicked men and and women told their children about Elijah going to heaven.

And they were mocking Elisha saying, "Come on, go up. Let's see if you can do it, too." They weren't mocking his bald head. They were mocking the power of God. And when they mocked the power of God he said you're going to die. I curse you. And the Lord said to me he said those with double portion power have words of life and death in their tongue.

You can speak life or death to anything that you speak to. Are you all hearing me? Sir, when the double portion hits when the when the double portion hits your life you can walk to a place and say I curse it in Jesus' name and that thing going to die.

We have [screaming] power to bring life or bring death. Are you hearing me? Now there's one thing that Elijah did Elisha did I want to tell you. None of us receive our double portion without doing what he what he did. And we we'll get to a little more of this next week but just just listen.

When he took that that new mantle and said he struck that water and said "Where is the Lord God of Elijah?" He was doing it in the in the name of the God of Elijah. It's like you saying, "In Jesus' name." Same thing. He was performing a miracle in the name of Elijah's God and Elijah himself.

And when he did that that water split and he got his new double portion and became a force that'll neutralize anything he'll touch. And God put power in his mouth to speak life and death to anything he talks to. God's word in Jeremiah says, "I'll put my word in your mouth."

In Jeremiah 1 he says, "I'll put my word in your mouth and in anything you talk to I I'll use you to destroy things and build things up." Bible says to Abraham, "Whoever blesses you I'll bless and whoever curse you I'll curse." Double portion power was given to Moses when Korah stood against him and his 250 they died.

Double portion power was given to Peter who said Ananias, "How dare you lie?" And the man dropped dead. Double portion power was given to Paul who said Elymas, "Be blindness." hit the woman who was around and after him. Sir, you have that same power in your mouth. Now we Christians ought to wake up to the fact there's more power in this tongue of yours than you realize.

You say I bless this it'll be blessed. I'll curse this it'll be cursed. That's double portion power. That's double portion mantles. That's double portion glory on your life and mine. Say hallelujah. Gilgal, [screaming] no huh-uh I'm not going to stay there. Bethel, I'll die and decide for God forever.

Jericho, I'll fight every devil of sickness, death, and hell come against me because Jesus is by my side. At Jordan I'll begin to see the promises of heaven that are mine. When I see it I'll get it and when I get it I'll neutralize everything I touch. I'll bless and I'll curse.

I'll be a force for God that'll shake heaven and shake hell. Somebody say hallelujah. How many want more? Come next Sunday. Hallelujah to God forever. How many want to walk in that glorious double portion forever and forever and forever and forever? Say amen. You know put your Bibles down, stand up, and stay where you are.

You're the salt of the earth. Say I am. the salt of the earth. Please hear this. Little does the world realize how much they owe us for their existence. Say it again. The world does not realize how much they owe us for our presence. If it wasn't for the church on earth this world would have blown off a long time ago.

If it wasn't for the church sin would have taken this place and ripped it apart. If it wasn't for the church no righteous influence would be on earth. You are the light of the world. If you weren't here darkness would take over. If you weren't here salt would not be here to preserve and Are you hearing this?

You have neutralized more devils than you realize. It's because of you Satan cannot do what he wants to do. Never forget who you are. These are the last days.
