Lessons in the Anointing from the Life of Elisha. The chapters in this book correspond to events and relationships in the life of Elisha, an Old Testament prophet, and successor to Elijah. The title reflects the transfer of power and authority in the Holy Spirit as Elisha takes up the mantle of Elijah and uses the anointing in ministry to others. These events and relationships become examples of how the Holy Spirit's anointing works in believers today.
