     Its an awesome feeling to know that all our Father has created an inheritance and has become a living legacy to us and for us. Continuing to look at the sealing we have now come to Ephraim which means "double fruitfulness".

     Only a true son can receive a double portion. Looking at the prodigal son who left home and asked his Father to liquidate all his assets and give it to him. It saddened the heart of the Father at his departing, but at his return, his Father killed the fatted calf, put on him the best robe, put a ring on his finger, declared a grand celebration "my son has come home" though he took his full portion I will give him another portion, double portion, God is not giving us what we have worked for but what we have faith to believe for. There is an inheritance laid up for the just and the just shall live by faith and that faith is the faith of the Son of God. Looking at Elijah and Elisha, when it came to pass that the Lord would carry away Elijah by a whirlwind, the scripture says that as Elijah was passing by the house of Elisha he found him yoked up with the Oxen plowing the field.

     He said unto Elisha "follow me". Elisha said unto him I must say good bye to my relatives so he celebrated with them and followed after Elijah. Let's talk about the yolk of the Oxen, the yolk is a heavy piece of wood which is shaped like a bow and carefully crafted to fit on the neck of the Oxen. This yolk is mounted unto 2 pieces of wood on either side of it which is mounted to a plow which is controlled by the one who holds the harness in his hands and dictates the direction that the Oxen should go. This yolk is placed on the neck of the Oxen and a leash is attached to it which is controlled by the master. On the nose of the Oxen a little hole is made and a metal ring is placed there. The harness is also attached to this nose ring so that when the master pulls it to the right or left the Oxen will go in that direction.

      Our necks speak of our will. God desires from us that we surrender our wills and to let his will become ours so that he can use his harness to lead us unto himself. We as the Oxen which speaks of servant-hood need to get yoked up with the master and surrender our wills to Him. The scripture declares that we have become a stiff necked people, a self willed people, Jesus said "not my will but yours".

     We need to lose our will in God and to let Him harness us with His yolk. He said "my yolk is easy and my burden is light". Going a little further I will only touch on the double portion and speak in detail on this topic on a later message. After a while when to yolk is placed on the neck, it creates an imprint of the yolk, it cuts away, it seals. After a while of much plowing together, the yolk and the Oxen becomes one. The Oxen loses its will and will only go where the Master leads it. The Oxen becomes familiar with the route of daily plowing, the Oxen will not travel a strange road as long as it is yoked up with the Master. Elisha followed Elijah unto Gilgal which is typical of the cross and our outer court experience with God.

     They both moved on to Jordan which is typical of our experience at Pentecost, the baptism of the Holy Ghost and finally the going on unto the Jordan which speaks of a turning, like a wheel, Speaks of death to the old and a new life. When Jesus went to the Jordan he went under the water signifying death, he came back up signifying a new life. When Elijah was taken up Elisha received a double portion, only one who is of the same bloodline is qualified to receive a double portion. We are the oxen, the Master is Jesus and we need to surrender all to the Master to receive a double portion.
