The wonder Prophet of the OT

The wonder Prophet of the OT
2 Kings 4:36 And he called Gehazi, and said, Call this Shunammite. So he
called her. And when she was come in unto him, he said, Take up thy son.
When I see great TV Evangelist, Miracle workers, Healers or Prophets
today I remember the Prophet Elisha of the OT. There is no Prophet in
the OT who matches Elisha when it comes to miracles; he even made Moses
and Elijah look like juniors.
Elijah has 14 miracles /wonders to his credit (as listed in OT) while
Elisha has 28 miracles/wonders. Among the things Elisha did include
parting the river Jordan, bringing dead to life, multiplying bread,
floating iron over water, manifesting the Heavenly Army of Angels,
healing the sick, blinding a whole army and then restoring their sight.
What is interesting is even though we have this man with so many wonders
to his credit yet not once did Jesus mention his name. In fact we see he
was indirectly rebuked.
Who was Elisha?
Elisha was a disciple of Elijah. He followed Elijah and received his
double anointing from Elijah. Elisha was a magnification of Elijah or
enlarged Elijah.
Last time I mentioned of the authority of Hand of Moses' / 'Chair of
Moses' and the 'Spirit of Elijah'. I mentioned of Moses being the Mary
of the Catholic Church to the Jews. Something I missed mentioning, like
Catholics believe that Mary did not bodily die, some Jews believe Moses
also did not bodily die but experienced assumption (noted in the
Apocrypha of the Jews). Jews read the OT unlike the Catholics therefore
do not make images of Moses and worship / give reverence to it like
Catholics do to Mary but they face the wall of Jerusalem and pray. Also
like Catholics say prayers on beads (Rosary) Jews instead use leather
strap to bond their hands and pray (they misquote scriptures to justify
this).
Spirit of Elijah is a rather deeper topic and it is only by
understanding it that one will understand why John the Baptist lived a
life of repentance in the desert and was the best candidate to preach it
(Elijah came back as John the Baptist as per prophecy). Understand
repentance is what one does for one's self and no man can repent for
another. John was no criminal or evil person before his ministry to go
into a life of repentance; it was this fact why people could not
understand John's lifestyle.
Even though Elijah was praised as being among the greatest Prophets yet
he also was the only one rebuked by Jesus. When Jesus' disciples asked
Jesus to curse and bring fire on the people and consume them for
rejecting Him like Elijah did, Jesus asked them, what kind of spirit did
they think He had?
We need to understand how so much ever miracles we may do or operate in
the highest anointing but if there is no love, mercy and compassion in
us then all this great work is useless before God. Let us not be like
Moses or Elijah the two misused Prophets or Prophets who were led to
make mistakes by the praising and glorification of the people.
[Prayer Starter]
Lord, You alone are God. Lord the most important and valuable thing for
You which You lift up above yourself is your Name. You Lord would never
let your Name be let down. You are perfect and Holy and none can point
to You for any type of evil. We pray we do not pursue greatness by
miracle, prophecy, healings, knowledge or any kind of gifts but above
all pursue your Name. Let us be known your people by your Name...
This prayer we make in Jesus' Name, Amen.

spirit ye are of.

them. And they went to another village.
