<TITLE>13. Par 34-36</TITLE>L-34 Notice, he said, "Ask me what you will now, and I'll give it to you." Watch. He wasn't afraid to ask. He said, "I want a double portion of your Spirit. Amen. I like that. Ask abundantly. Ask for great things. Believe for great things. Said, "A double portion of your Spirit."
He said, "You've ask a hard thing. But nevertheless, if you see me when I go, you'll have it." Oh my. I tell you, he had one single thought. That prophet didn't get out of his view. He stayed right with him, watching him.
On he went, on he went. Up the mountain, down through the valley. Up the mountain, down through the valley, but he kept his eye on that prophet. After while, they was get up to the top of the hill, and down from heaven come a chariot of Fire, scattered them apart. And Elijah jumped up on the chariot, looked back to Elijah, pulled off his mantle and threw it back to him, and away he went into heaven.
Elijah took that mantle and walked down to the Jordan, stood there and there's the school of prophets over there looking at him, see what he'd do. He took that mantle and doubled it back and forth and struck that old Jordan and said, "Where is the God of Elijah?" and she divided one way and the other way: a beautiful type of the church who's come down through the Lutheran age, the Methodist age, and through Pentecost age, and now crossing the Jordan.

L-35 Keep your eyes on Jesus. Watch. Jesus was a type of the church. He was standing one day and a woman run up, said, "Well, I want my son to set on one side and one on the other."
Said, "Can you drink the cup that I drink?"
She said, "Yes, Lord."
Said, "Truly, you can. But can you be baptized with the baptism that I'm baptized with?"
Said, "Yeah, Lord."
Said, "Truly you can. But the right hand and left hand is not Mine to give, but My Father which is in heaven."
Now, He gathered them up there and blessed them just before they went away. And He said, "Tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem until you're endued with power from on high. The things that I do shall you also, and greater than this shall you do." A double portion was promised to the church. And I tell you, they went to the upper room and stayed there until the day of--that Jesus was taken up. And the same baptism of the Holy Ghost that He had on Him, fell on the Pentecostal people. Hallelujah. There's your double portion.

L-36 Why, you people who claim to kiss the rim of the cup of the golden blessings of God? Who could set still in such a day? Ha, when you've got a double portion among you. Where is the God that was on Jesus Christ. Where is He at? The One Who knowed the thoughts of the people's mind, the One Who did this, that, or the other, He said, "The things that I do, shall you also." The baptism that I'm baptized with, you'll be baptized with the same and a double portion shall come." Hallelujah. Where is the God that was on Jesus Christ? He's here in Connersville, Indiana, sweeping over this building right tonight, the same Holy Ghost. A trouble of it is, you've feeled it and you know His Presence is here, but you're afraid to turn loose to it. Amen.
