In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord, high and exalted,seated on a throne; and the train of his robe filled the temple. (Isaiah:6:1)
The Bible is full of such beautiful encounters and stuffs that we dream of. The purpose GOD had those encounters written down is not to overwhelm us, but its an invitation for us to experience such encounters on our own. All it takes is a renewed mind and a leap of faith. Not only Isaiah, we see many people that had such encounters were ordinary men just like you and me.
Elisha then picked up Elijah’s cloak that had fallen from him and went back and stood on the bank of the Jordan. He took the cloak that had fallen from Elijah and struck the water with it. “Where now is the Lord, the God of Elijah?” he asked. When he struck the water, it divided to the right and to the left, and he crossed over. (II Kings:2:13&14) Elijah had been an able assistant for a while and now the time has come for Elijah to be taken upto heaven. Just a little while ago, Elijah using his cloak struck the river Jordan, splitting it into two. Elisha was a spectator to that miracle. A few minutes later, after Elijah was taken upto heaven dramatically, Elisha uses the same technique and performs the miracle just like Elijah did. Elisha wasn't overwhelmed and even with the fifty men from the company of prophets watching he didn't waver in his faith. He knew that if Elijah could do it, so could he.
GOD is always ready to replicate his miracle. What He is looking for is someone like Elisha, to pick up the cloak of Elijah or in other words, to pick up the cloak of faith, looking at the godly encounters of others like Isaiah's and use it in their own lives. Jesus said in John:14:12 "Very truly I tell you, whoever believes in me will do the works I have been doing, and they will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father."
Blessings!
