Bible Question: What do people mean when they say "In the spirit of Elijiah" |
Bible Answer: Scripture ... 1Ki 17:1-2Ki 2:13, Luk 1:15-17 ... 15 "For he will be great in the sight of the Lord; and he will drink no wine or liquor, and he will be filled with the Holy Spirit while yet in his mother's womb." 16 "And he will turn many of the sons of Israel back to the Lord their God." God's day to you, Mumzy, It is about John the Baptist, and the phrase is "the spirit and power of Elijah" ... which is about a ministry of reconciliation, preaching repentance nd the certainty of things contained in the Scriptures regarding Christ. When they had crossed, Elijah said to Elisha, "Tell me, what can I do for you before I am taken from you?" "Let me inherit a double portion of your spirit," Elisha replied. (2 Ki 2:9) ... see verse 15 Be careful, very careful if any one (or group) uses the term "Spirit of Elijiah" ... the Bible is clear about it . Two sources ... http://www.letusreason.org/NAM2.htm http://bibletools.org/index.cfm/fuseaction/Topical.show/RTD/cgg/ID/3047/Spirit-Power-of-Elijah.htm "Spirit of Elijiah" may be mis(used) today ... |
