Jentezen Franklin - Touching the Old Bones
This post marks the first of a series wrapping up the last couple of days of Influencers.
Jentezen Franklin preached on Wednesday night on “Touching the Old Bones” from 2nd Kings 13:14-21. Joash, by not striking the ground more times, failed to fulfil the transfer of God’s annointing to a new generation from Elijah to Elisha to Joash and also meant that Elisha did not fulfil God’s promise of a double annointing. The bible records 7 major miracles for Elijah and up to that point 13 for Elisha. When the man comes to life in V21 it fulfils the double blessing. The point was that we need to get in touch with the old bones of the things and the people that have gone before in order to combine the annointing of the old generation with that of a new generation.
This was one of those meetings where you sort of had to be there to get it, short on teaching (I only have 1/2 a page of notes) but big on atmosphere. It finished off with a huge altar call for the youth that was very powerful, I know of at least one person in my small group whose daughter was touched by God in a big way.
