See how the fire from heaven came down and destroyed the first two groups. But now please spare my life!”
But Elisha replied again, “As surely as the lord lives and you yourself live, I will never leave you.” So they went on together to Jericho
nd Elisha replied, “Please let me inherit a double share of your spirit and become your successor.”
Elisha saw it and cried out, “My father! My father! I see the chariots and charioteers of Israel!” And as they disappeared from sight, Elisha tore his clothes in distress.
Elisha turned around and looked at them, and he cursed them in the name of the lord. Then two bears came out of the woods and mauled forty-two of them.

Why is it so hard to surrender to the Lord. Two groups of men were destroyed before the third commander begs for his life. Elisha refuses his master’s request to part ways dedicated totally, ask for double power than Elijah, pretty bold but gets it. In the name of the Lord we can curse evil, never thought about that.

Lord God,
Continue to reveal your self to me thru this life and give me the desire to truly know your desire for my life. May I serve you in all I do especially with my family.

In Jesus name,
Amen
