2 Kings 2: 1-18, Ephesians 3: 20, Proverbs 23: 7, Proverbs 4: 23



Continued from page 1

If you are really passionate about something, and continually talk to God about it, and always do your utmost to live for God, then the boundaries of your life will be massive. So when you face obstacles you don't stop at the obstacle and say- "It's too big", Instead you say; "The borders of my heart are massive, this obstacle can't contain me, I'll just walk around it."

Be passionate about two things; God, & His plans for your life, & you will be a significant person, smack bang in the middle of the party

5. WHAT'S YOUR REQUEST?

In Verse 9, Elisha replies "...let me inherit double portion..."
Elisha's request was Audacious - God loves that!
Its ok to ask big things from God! In Ephesians 3: 20 it says "Now to Him (God) who is able to do more than you can ask or imagine..." So then, what do you imagine your life could become? What do you imagine God could do in your life? He says; "I can do more!"

In the New Testament, there was a woman who had been bleeding for many years. When she heard Jesus was in town, she pushed through the crowd & touched Jesus. Jesus said; "Who touched me?" The disciples said; "There's loads of people pushing in to touch you!" But Jesus said "No there was one person in the crowd who REALLY touched me!" What happened? Loads of people were asking Jesus things, loads of people were there, but only one woman made a request of significance.

Make your requests, significant requests of God! God says; "What can I do for you?" You need to say; "God, I don't want to miss out, I want to be there when the party starts, when you bring revival to my city/school/friends. In fact God, let me help you to do it!"

6. WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO?

In V 14, Elisha has come back to the place where the water had parted, but the problem now is that Elijah was no longer there to do the miracle. People are watching Elisha now, & he comes out with the classic line "...Where now is God Elijah..."

In the same way people were watching Elisha, your friends, school & family are watching you. When was the last time you were in a place where you needed God to come through for you or you were sunk?

Hey, following God is an adventure, because sometimes you feel the prompting of God to do something ridiculous, even bizarre. But when you act after hearing God to tell you to do so, amazing things happen - the Bible calls them miracles! The God of Elijah and Elisha is your God! If He can do amazing things through them, He can through you.

Lets not be a generation that misses what God wants to do, lets position ourselves right! How?

* Who are you with?
* Where are you going?
* What Obstacles do you face?
* What's your passion?
* What's your request?
* What are you gonna do?

It's not a magic formula, but maybe it'll help you be the right person, in the right place at the right time.

See you in the middle of the party! CR
