A Modern Day Story of a Double
Portion. |
|
In the fall
of 2005, a boy named J went to a weekly kids prayer meeting at his local
church. During that meeting he learned about a double portion and how it
wasn't just for the people in Bible days, but that kids today could have
a double portion of someone if they asked God for it in faith. A double
portion usually has to do with an "anointing" that someone has, which is
an equipping by the Holy Spirit and experiences in faith. |
|
During the quiet time at the prayer meeting, J, asked God, "Who do you
want me to have a double portion of?" God answered him right away and J
drew on a piece of paper what he saw in his spirit. (See the first
picture below - click it to see the whole thing.)
Six months later something incredible happened. The evangelist that
J saw giving him a double portion came to his local church on the very
night that he was to be baptized in Jesus' name. All his friends came up
to the baptistry and watched with excitement as their friend received
his water baptism. Things started to change immediately in J's life from
that moment on. Fear and his shyness started to fade away.
After the service the evangelist prayed a double portion blessing
over J and instructed him a little with some good information about
"evangelists." He even gave J his business card and told J to contact
him when he experienced his first miracle. Wow!
Less than one month later, J was part of a leadership team at a
national prayer conference and was able to minister by speaking to the
kids about parts of prayer that he knew from experience, and also was
able to minister to his friend in a new and special way.
J is already seeing God do things through his prayers and is
receiving training to use God's anointing in his life. Oh, I forgot to
mention that he is only ten years old. |

J sees his double portion
before it arrives as he "listens" to the Holy Spirit. |
Only six months later J
receives prayer by the evangelist that he asked
God to give him a double
portion of. |
Less than one month later,
J ministers to a friend
during a prayer conference ...his first time to step into public
ministry. |

and loosing" things

Do you want to be a "Modern Day Story of a
Double Portion?" If so, take time to ask God who you
should have a double portion of...then expect it to happen. J was
surprised at how quickly God brought
the evangelist into his life. Get ready for a story to happen to you! |
