Amen. Amen. Thank you. Thank you, Shri Kumar and today I'll touch on Some new insights from the Old Testament but before that we will look at Maybe somebody of some of the things that we learned in the last class, which is yesterday so we saw in the Old Testament that God continued to speak to his people there were ways in which he spoke We saw the use of the urine the tomb and the will of God was Identified through the casting of lots there were also prophets who were chosen by God. There were priests who Sometimes, you know, not to a large extent, but sometimes could hear The direction that God was giving them So, you know, we we saw the ways in which God spoke in the Old Testament and we also saw that the most important test of a prophetic word is to Know whether that prophetic word is leading us towards God or taking us away from God So, you know, that is the most important test then of course, there is the accuracy of the word and whether it conforms to the Person of God, you know, the nature of God and the revealed will of God So we saw that that is what we must consider Regarding a prophetic word and then we saw the connection of music to the prophetic anointing that music Many a time can activate and cause the flow of the prophetic anointing We also saw that the prophetic ministry in the Old Testament is associated with supernatural demonstrations of God's power and that encourages us because as we consider the prophetic today We serve the same God, you know, the God of the Old Testament is the God of the New Testament And he is also, you know, the the God who is with us in the time zone that we live in and he hasn't changed If the supernatural and mind you looking at the Old Testament The kind of things that happened through the ministry of Moses when he was leading the people out of Egypt Amazing miracles, you know, the seaparting and Thousands of people being led unharmed. So many wonderful things God did Elijah, Elisha, you know, calling Fire down from from heaven Raising up supernaturally, you know, a dead child then Bones raising up a dead person acts floating in the water So you could just go on and on and look at the the dramatic Ways in which God's power was displayed and nothing really stops God from doing the same today. And if we Plug into the prophetic anointing even today we can expect amazing things to happen miraculous things to happen and That is not separate from the prophetic anointing then we saw how the School of the prophets is something that we see in the Old Testament and most likely set up by the prophet Samuel Because the days that he lived in There was a dearth of the prophetic word People were not hearing the voice of God. And so he out of his experience and desire Encouraged those who had the grace the prophetic grace and it is likely that in these schools you had Prophets gather around a senior prophet and be trained they learn from the life and the Experience of the senior prophet. So that's how the school of the prophets work We know that that is also an association of the prophetic to Association an influence of the prophetic where We can see that the anointing is operational If we are connected to an environment where the prophetic is Recognized the prophetic is encouraged the prophetic is desired So if we are somehow part of such an influence such an Environment we can also See the prophetic being activated in our lives. So we talked about the prophetic influence yesterday So this is where we actually stopped and today we will continue from there So I am right now on page 37 in our notes and you could please turn to that page and follow along All right Yeah, so today we will talk about the transfer of the prophetic anointing now we have discussed how Moses when he was burnt out taking care of God's people he really You know came to The end of the rope and he was even ready to die. He said things like God I can't bear the burden of caring for people. So, you know, kill me, you know, he came to that level of Desperation in his ministry and at that point, you know God granted him the wisdom to know that he Need not do everything that he could have people Leaders under him who can lead with the kind of anointing that he already carried So we saw yesterday in the book of Numbers chapter 11 Moses selects 70 leaders and he calls them so that he can Commission them But then when he does call these people two of them are left somewhere in the camp But even then, you know, when he commissions them and he Asks for the anointing on his life to rest on all of these 70 people so that they can also lead God's people well You know the the people in the camp begin to prophesy. Okay, so this is very interesting So this is an example of the transfer of the anointing So there is an anointing on the life of Moses. What kind of an anointing is this that there are Multiple anointing see anointing is the empowering of God. Okay, we just use this technical term called anointing and also Now that we have the Holy Spirit with us. We know that you know, he Serves as the anointing of God over our lives. So when we say anointing, you know, it's it's not like oh, wow, what is that? Sometimes we just got get caught up in in the technicality of it But that's what we mean when we say anointing anointing is the empowering grace of God So Moses had the anointing for leadership. He had the anointing as a prophet All right, so these were the primary Anointing that you would see in his life But you know, there were other things as well that he was capable of doing and that was God's empowering granted to Moses now when he wanted to send out these 70 people to take care of The children of Israel The anointing was transferred on them. Okay, what anointing was transferred? This is also very important question to ask. So the 70 did not become You know junior Moses. They did because All of what Moses had did not get transferred on to them So we can say that some extent of the leadership anointing a part of what was on Moses was released to these 70 people and No, we also saw how the the prophetic anointing on Moses Part of that also Probably was released to them because you saw those two men in the camp. They were prophesying Okay, so this is a wonderful example of how Moses decided to get The team to discharge leadership responsibilities through the transfer of the anointing so even today, you know, we have this practice when there is a leader who is appointed in the church The people over him or her they would pray when they pray many things happen God's blessing comes upon The individuals but also, you know, we who believe in the working of the Holy Spirit We also understand that there can be a transfer of an anointing Okay, so anointing can get transferred So that is the point that we are trying to make here Another classic example for us is the lives of Elijah and Elisha We've already seen that the school of the prophets was a popular concept in these days and so junior prophets would Even live With the senior prophets like servants so that they can receive from the life of the senior prophets So Elisha in that manner was after Elijah and if you would Try to look at it in a deeper way Elisha was not just after Elijah. He was after the anointing on Elijah's life so Elisha is following after Elijah and what was Elisha's request? Okay, so Elisha's request was he wanted a double portion of the anointing on Elijah's life Now if you study the life of Elijah, it's it's thrilling It's it's like wow if we lived in those times and saw the kind of Miracles that Elijah walked in We would we would be fascinated by it And even beyond that, you know since Elisha recognized that he had a calling in the same area the prophetic ministry he obviously Placed a desire on what he already saw and His request to Elijah was I Wanted double anointing whatever you have done. I want to know double of it. You know, that's a very noble Desire and Sometimes I wonder, you know, when we see God working, we see God's power working God's anointing working in various ways around us in the global body of Christ Do we place a desire on the good and genuine things that we see and you know based on the grace that we carry upon our lives Do we say that oh God wow if so and so is is moving like this In in the anointing Lord, whatever grace you have given me. Can you increase it over my life? So Elisha is one who has a noble desire. He wants a double portion of what he saw Now, of course, you know, there are other aspects to the anointing, you know, you have to be obedient pay the price because you notice here that if it was as easy as One individual or human being giving away a portion of their anointing We could all be giving and taking anointing and you know better still if double portion of the anointing Elijah could give Elisha Wouldn't he lay his hands on his head and give himself the double portion of the anointing? He would and even we would you know multiply the anointing over our lives every day if it was just About laying hands and praying but Elijah understood that this is not how the anointing is transferred It's only God who gives the anointing a Human being cannot give another human being Anointing because anointing does not belong to us. We don't we don't have it In in the sense that you know originally we are not the source of the anointing. So Here's what Elijah told Elisha. Look if you follow me closely and if you See me being taken away Then you will have it. You will have the double portion of the anointing So it was really a test of Elisha's focus. Now. How badly do you want? the anointing on Elijah's life, so Elisha was chasing after Elijah and You know initially, I don't know if Elijah wondered why is this guy behind me? But I'm sure Elijah understood. He's not after me. He's after the anointing on my life So Elisha is following Elijah around everywhere. In other words, basically focus Okay, laser sharp focus. So he's going with Elijah His mentor from Gilgal to Bethel to Jericho Across the Jordan and you know, then it happens. He notices or he sees Elijah being caught up in the chariots of fire and The anointing comes upon Elisha's life because he fulfilled the criteria which is to see Elijah being taken away and then when we study about the life of Elisha The Bible is very interesting. Okay, you list out the number of miracles that Elijah did list out the number of miracles that Elisha did It's exactly double You know, God is true to his word and that's what you see Because Elisha was so focused on the anointing and getting more of the anointing He never got distracted Even when Elijah instructed him and said if you see me being taken away Elisha could have been distracted by the chariots of fire the supernatural Demonstration, you know in the way in which Elisha was taken away, but no Elisha's focus was I just have to see Elijah if I if I make sure, you know, I do this I Will have double the anointing. So, you know, that's a beautiful thing that he understood that the Anointing is transferable. So the anointing this is like earlier we saw Moses and a part of the anointing being transferred now Double so can anointing be transferred answer is yes Can a part of the anointing be transferred answer is yes Can more of the anointing be transferred the answer is yes Okay, so we see the dynamics of the Prophetic anointing in the Old Testament and all of this gives us a lot of hope that you know we can desire these things because No, in the Bible. Do you see that it has come to an end? No, it hasn't So if we place a desire on the anointing and we go after the anointing You know again, we can't give it to one another. We can't grab it A life of, you know, focus a life of obedience a life of, you know, sincerity Towards God it can draw the anointing on our lives. So, you know, we can do that. Okay, let's now continue further When we come to the New Testament We read in Luke 117. This is a description of John the Baptist John the Baptist and It says that he came in the spirit and the power of Elijah So what are we studying about now? We're studying about the transfer of the anointing. We've already looked at a couple of things the point here is You have a man called John who lived way Centuries after a powerful prophet Elijah But the Bible says that John Carried the spirit and the power of Elijah So the conclusion that we draw is anointing can be transferred across generations Okay, so there can be somebody in the past who moved in a certain way give it with a certain anointing and Today you and I you know again depending on it's not by our choice You know God the grace is given by God the grace is given by God But of course, you know, we can also desire and sometimes when we desire that's an indication that there is a grace in that area so We can have those anointings, you know, we talk about people like Smith Wigglesworth Who saw many miracles in in his ministry even the people being raised from the dead we talk about, you know ministers and the healing healing revivals Maria Woodworth Etter and Amy Semple MacPherson, you know, we talk about all these people and the anointing over their lives a Alan The miraculous the miraculous was demonstrated through their lives now whenever we read things like this Don't get attached to the people. Yeah, we honor the people associated with what God did but When we begin to desire the anointing on their lives Okay, who is to say that it cannot be sent on our lives today and you know, we uh do As much or maybe even more than what they have done in their generation So the point of understanding that John the Baptist carried the anointing of Elijah Was that anointing can be transferred across generations Okay, and so we can desire it and also notice here you would look at the life of John the Baptist and uh try to compare it with Elijah's life and and wonder What what is this? Elijah's anointing, but where is John? You know, he didn't park the Jordan River. He did nothing that Is You know that can be called as a supernatural demonstration of God But you see we read about Elijah that you know through the anointing over his life Um all these miracles happen, but John Is the one through Elijah's anointing What he could do is he could turn the hearts of the people back to the Lord and prepare them for the Lord so, you know that part Where people's hearts are being prepared for the Lord. That was the the specific Thing that John the Baptist was able to do Through the anointing of Elijah Now this is another interesting lesson for us. You know, we can carry the anointing of somebody else of the past But it may not Display itself the way it did in that person's life Okay, it could it could come through a flow in a completely different way And yet it can be the anointing of a certain individual either in scripture or you know, somebody who has served the Lord So this is also something we can um See in scripture that the anointing may not look exactly Like even if you know, the Lord came spoke to you confirmed to you that hey you have the anointing of so and so You may not be a replica of that person You may be doing something completely different that a regular person can't tell that you're carrying the same anointing however The anointing will release what God intends through it Okay, so John the Baptist through Elijah's anointing What was he able to do draw the hearts of the people towards God? He didn't do You know all those supernatural Miracles, so that is about the transferring of the anointing. So always remember anointing is from God You know, we can't give and take anointing it's God who calls he appoints he anoints And uh, uh, what human beings can do is we can train We can also there's a terminology called impart meaning by through prayer through, um, uh, you know Our our uh desire Uh, we can actually release whatever's on my life. I can release it over somebody else's life because Scriptures talk about it. You can impart Okay to others. So, uh, impartation is possible And activate we can activate people in the Prophet take or any other kind of anointing, but the source is God and none of us can claim to Um, be the source of anointing. Okay, so That's a little bit more about the prophetic anointing Okay, I'm just looking at The chat here if there are any issues. Okay, Abraham, are you on the call with us? Where you Is there a problem with the link? Yes, please, but I'm here now. I have to use the old link Oh Yes, yes Oh, so the the one that I have posted didn't work for you No, it didn't work. I think that's why many people joined late. Oh, I'm so sorry. I'm not too sure what happened Yeah Even me even my struggle. I had to use another link that man gave us I know I'm so sorry everyone. I I think It didn't paste what I was trying to Okay, I'm just reposting Let me do that in case some students are still stuck outside the class I don't know if you notice, but uh, somehow in this class I'm getting the same code every time So even if you clicked on an older link, you you would still get into the class Yeah, it's always giving me the same code Okay, I really hope others didn't miss this class Let's see. I've posted and uh, yeah, okay. Elisha has joined Okay, let's see. Yeah, we'll have students joining in uh, all right. So, uh, I'll quickly take some Questions, uh, and then we will move forward. Hopefully in that time people will join So answering the question of kennedy kennedy asked yesterday major profits minor profits. So kennedy, um The reason behind These words is just the length of You know the books the prophetic books Uh, so it's not that you know, somebody's has a More important message than another person But if you uh, take the list of the major profits and compare it with The the books that are mentioned as minor profits is just the length of the books. So that's all Okay, and I hope you got the answer to your question Ashik Kumar, I can see your hand raised Please go ahead Yeah, thank you master. Yeah Faster my question is um as you said, um Like, you know, Elijah imparted his anointing to the Elisha um and And you know, even he he he got that You know The what he desired to the what he desired what he asked that he needs that double portion and But uh, what was the reason that he couldn't able to manifest it completely? Because even though he he received what he wanted But unfortunately he died with sickness and But that anointing was still there in his bones later. We can find that Because of you know, the bone a man got resurrected So what was the reason that even though Elisha received their anointing? and and and you know He missed that, you know, the the biggest biggest thing what Elijah did like, you know, he was actually In car like he was just moved transported to heaven. Like how the you know, cause why he missed that one thing And even though I believe that he had that anointing because if that was the reason That bone carried that anointing and a dead man was raised. So I just want to know this Why that why that happened that or Is it possible that even though we have anointing and we can miss something in our life? Thank you pastor. Yeah Excellent question there she Kumar And you know, what you said just now should really make us think And understand that at the end of the day We are human beings. We are mortal beings. We are Created beings. Yes, there is anointing on our lives, but it doesn't make us in control of everything Okay. Now, uh, the answer why why didn't Elisha Get caught up like Elijah and why did Elisha die? Uh, there can be many reasons for that and it could have to do with I don't know. I mean, we can just speculate based on what we know from scripture, you know, is there Maybe he didn't understand something Uh, about, you know, how God worked or You know, maybe there was some disobedience. So we don't know, right? So we really don't know. That's the that's the bottom line um, and also remember that Carrying anointing even the prophetic anointing That is not a replacement of a Walk with God, you know as a child of God as a believer a walk of obedience Okay, so we can't Public ministry is another it's a totally different chapter in our lives But just because there is that chapter doesn't mean that you know our our dependency on God As a child, you know that that that chapter doesn't exist that also exists okay, and Many times even when you study the lives of men and women of God, it's surprising It's surprising how the same people who were pressing into A certain anointing in their own lives. They were struggling to Apply that Okay, maybe they would go pray for another person and see that happen For example, I think even smith wigglesworth. He raised so many people from the dead, but when it came um to raising his own wife from the dead, he couldn't So It was not him doing it He see the anointing is flowing out of our lives. That doesn't mean we control the anointing Isn't it similarly you study the life of john g lake when he began So many of his family members died And in one way that was the trigger for him to pursue the the healing anointing because He wanted to see that manifest in people's lives After doing that when he goes to South Africa over there all these wonderful things take place and then you know you notice that His wife becomes very sick and she dies so you see the point i'm trying to make is Just because an anointing flows You know through our ministry doesn't mean that we are in control of everything We have to come to a place in our lives where we say god, you know, i'm just a vessel You know i'm a i'm i'm a mortal obedient committed vessel Sometimes why the anointing didn't work like this or like that We can't even explain it. We don't have the answers. We really don't so um i am still leaving you In in a state of you know Yeah, but i hope it makes sense Thank you. Yeah, okay. Thank you. Thank you. Yes, uh, abraham, please go ahead Yes, pasta. Yeah pasta, please with regards to um the double anointing There is other school of thought that says that um Elijah could not give double of what he doesn't have It means that if i cannot give you double of what i don't have i can only give what i have and um What they meant by double was? um That elisha was made the first born In other words, elisha replaced elisha in his calling and they also Got an argument that the fact that Elisha did more miracle Doesn't mean he was more anointed than elisha Also referring to joint abapty. So how do we balance this? Okay. Yeah, abraham. I'll tell you uh, you know my understanding. See it's quite clear that, uh, elisha did double the number of Miracles than elisha. So for us to say that he didn't move in the double portion Uh, i don't know how correct that statement would be because it's very obvious that There is a double performance uh by elisha And we also know that that's probably because of what he asked elisha earlier So in my mind it settled that He asked for a double anointing. He got it. He moved in it now coming back to the first question you said um Elijah said that i can't give you what i don't have Okay, so it doesn't mean that elisha is not flowing in the anointing. Basically what he's saying is i'm not the source If you if any human being wants to get anointing you have to ask god Don't ask me because i'm not the source. So that would be the interpretation and i hope it answers your questions Yes, yes, but the one that confuses me is the fact that John the baptist came in the spirit of elisha and not elisha You know and another thing is that even though he came in the fullness of that anointing His manifestation did not do any miracle. So again, uh, is he is very complicated when i want to think about it That's why i'm asking Yeah, yeah, yeah, so uh, uh, abraham a good point there You said john the baptist came in the spirit of elisha and not elisha Uh, the way we can understand this is see god honors the fathers You know, you could put it that way So elisha is like the forerunner of this kind of a prophetic miraculous anointing So yeah god honored elisha even though there was an elisha and you know, maybe several others Moved in the prophetic anointing Their names were not mentioned but elisha's name was mentioned. So god honors the fathers Okay, so that and uh, yeah Yeah, thank you. Thank you so much master. Sure. Okay. Thank you. Yeah, shrikumar. I'll come back to you. You have a question Yes, pastor Pastor can I ask? Yes, please thank you Pastor in that case, then sorry in that case, how can we say that you know, the number of miracles? Is something which represents there is a more anointing if you say that You know jesus himself said that you can do you will do greater things Then it means that do we have greater anointing than jesus? Or the or how can we come to a conclusion where we say that the numbers numbers of miracles will determine that He's more anointed and he's less anointed as you said that a major prophet and minor prophet that You know, it's because of the the length of the books. So it's but they are all common but in the same way How can we come to a conclusion where we say that because he did numbers of because we are counting the numbers because I don't know whether I'm right or wrong, but how can we measure the the anointing and say that you know Because of the numbers of miracles, which is recorded in the bible in that way. We are categorizing that you know Helicia, you know Helicia had that level of anointing and related to that only I asked that question that in that in that case If he had a number of miracles so many number of miracles More than more than Elijah, but why then why he couldn't able to you know Miss that one thing what Elijah did. Thank you master Okay, thank you. Shri Kumar. See Measuring of the anointing that's also not It's not a simple thing and as you rightly pointed out by the number of miracles by the Accomplishment of public ministry, you can't we can't really tell you know who was more anointed than Somebody else, but see the bible is just trying to establish that god kept his word and Elijah Ended up receiving what he desired. So it's just that it's just making that one simple statement In the number of miracles that Elisha did Okay, but we don't take the number of miracles from there as a precedent to measure the anointing of everyone else in the bible Okay, so that is one thing. The second thing is yes, Elisha missed it. So Why did he miss it? I don't have the answer to that question But what can we learn from this? See we need to pursue The lord with obedience in our lives now coming to I'm just using Healing okay healing anointing don't want to digress from the prophetic but healing anointing Let's say, you know, I pray for people and everyone is healed immediately They are healed. The healing power is flowing, but I find out that I'm sick Okay What is a general way in which You know common way by which god brings healing to our bodies through the meditation, you know in in his word So for me, I might pray a couple of times and I might feel that hey, it's gone But then the general Way in which I will pursue my healing is I will spend time in god's word You know, I will do everything that I need to do as a person as a believer to walk in divine health Okay, so just because uh the anointing is not I don't see it being Working the way it's working in the people's lives when I pray for them You know, I shouldn't I shouldn't get discouraged by that But I follow what the bible says. Okay. I go by the word I go by the truth that jesus has already paid the price for my healing. I trust in my pray I do everything else. So that would be so it's more a learning shikumat. Why Did elisha not have it or do it? I don't know but what I can learn from it is That uh anointing and ministry capabilities do not replace the need for An obedient life before the lord Yeah Thank you master. Yeah, sure. Okay. Thank you. Uh, yes Sister rupa has a comment here. She says according to our purpose holy spirit God grants us the anointing to accomplish it. Yes, that's right. That's right So he will equip us based on what we need to do. Kennedy says Okay, thanks. Is that preferred chronology of prophecy given that it's a public ministry. Uh, Okay, Kennedy. I'm not too sure what you mean by this If you could Tell me we'll address it quickly and then move forward I hope I'm audible. Yes. Yes I have read the book of Jeremiah And at the commentary part it's called there's a lot of commenters saying that it's Small disorganized Unlike the other prophecies. It's not orderly So I don't know whether it was capturable and they are doing people say I know prefer the chronology of writing this book Of the prophecy or the other where the prophecies are done because it's a public ministry So they ought to be some kind of order Okay, so you mean to say in the way the prophecies were given it wasn't chronological Preferred chronology, I I don't You know, when you study these books based on the timelines, I think you will you will get the chronology We will understand the chronology. But in the books, uh, to have to see a certain order It completely depends on the author of the book So some books are very well organized systematic some are not Uh, but I think you can you can compare it to the timelines Uh in history and study then you'll get a better picture of when the prophet was speaking this and to whom and how does that apply Okay, thank you. Yeah. Okay. Okay. Thank you. Thank you. All right, uh, everyone So we'll try to cover a little more ground today. Uh, so we've understood about the transfer of the anointing now Uh In the Old Testament, we also see that the prophetic ministry Um was geared to towards helping leaders and rulers. So you have, uh, prophets who Work closely with kings Uh Prophet Samuel is a wonderful example. He anointed Saul and later anointed david and uh, he was there initially For david but eventually, you know, you read uh of prophets like natin and gad And uh, hemman and jedithin. These are all these were called these men were called as the kings seers or Prophets who would inquire of the lord and who would Give god's direction to david. So they were bringing direction. They were bringing correction. So on and so forth. So what we understand is that The prophetic can be a huge blessing to leadership. So today we don't have kings You know in most of the nations, but you may have people Who are elected into the the parliament Any place any position of leadership, you know, the prophetic anointing the prophetic ministry Can be a blessing it can be a blessing to leadership and that uh, that is what we take away from it So whether they are political leaders marketplace leaders, the there can be a positive influence of the prophetic ministry Uh upon the work that they do now, let's uh go to the next section here Which is about demonic opposition to prophetic ministry Uh, you know, whenever there is something good in the kingdom of god We tend to see a count of it of the same In the kingdom of darkness because satan tries to compete Okay, he wants to create something similar and um Distract people so the prophetic Has the count of it In the demonic which are things like witchcraft divination Uh future telling, you know things like this also Uh are seen and people might get confused and ask questions and say hey, uh, you're telling us that It's only god who can reveal the future and the secret things But you have people who are connected to the occult who also Seem to know uh and and uh function in the miraculous. How do you explain this? So a good example is to go back to the Time when moses went to meet pharaoh to let god's people go if you recall You know, he did all these miracles with his rod. There were the sorcerers of pharaoh as well, you know, who Uh had snakes or they created snakes and then finally, uh And moses and air they were challenged, but in the end the snake Which was formed by the rod of moses You know ate up the snakes of the sorcerers. So the lesson is that yes The demonic can also Present the miraculous Okay, however, we know that at the end of the day it is god and his power that will prevail. So Even in this incident towards the end, uh, the powers of the sorcerers when no match to the power of god And if you can recall The things that happened in Egypt the plagues, you know, the the magicians Uh, the people connected to Uh The occult they couldn't do anything And the pharaoh came to a place where he was like, I just bow down to the power of this god You all go just go pack your bags leave because His magicians could do nothing. So ultimately, even if there are counterfeit, um, uh, you know activities Of of satan, they are no match to the power of god Now in the old testament, you know, talking about the the demonic realm and the prophetic anointing Jezebel is another uh person who Was challenging the anointing the prophetic anointing especially the prophetic anointing on Elijah's life Okay, so who is Jezebel? You know Jezebel is Ahab's wife. We know that both of them are very wicked, uh rulers, but It wasn't the the woman herself But because she had all these magicians and you know connected so much to the occult She was operating by what is generally turned as the spirit of Jezebel Okay, the spirit of Jezebel. So what does the spirit of Jezebel do the spirit of Jezebel is involved in things like, uh witchcraft Lying deceiving seducing controlling manipulating. So these are the activities of the Jezebel spirit. Okay, and that's these Spirits were working through the life of this woman called Jezebel and they were challenging the prophetic anointing over Elijah's life. So the point is that whenever there is the real power of god Would we see a challenge from the demonic? Yes, we noticed that Moses the prophet was challenged Elijah was challenged Okay, and not really the people but the anointing on their lives was challenged But we know that you know god encouraged Elijah the the the challenge and the Tension was so real the opposition was so real and it was a spiritual opposition You see and Elijah ran for his life. He hid He came to a place where he even wanted to quit because the demonic was putting that kind of pressure On him, but god strengthened him. You know god brought him out of that And god, you know caused him to continue in his ministry.
