The Double Portion Revelation

Exodus 16:4-5  Then said the LORD unto Moses, Behold, I will rain bread from heaven for you; and the people shall go out and gather a certain rate every day, that I may prove them, whether they will walk in my law, or no. And it shall come to pass, that on the sixth day they shall prepare that which they bring in; and it shall be twice as much as they gather daily.

Exodus 16:14-27  And when the dew that lay was gone up, behold, upon the face of the wilderness there lay a small round thing, as small as the hoar frost on the ground. And when the children of Israel saw it, they said one to another, It is manna: for they wist not what it was. And Moses said unto them, This is the bread which the LORD hath given you to eat. This is the thing which the LORD hath commanded, Gather of it every man according to his eating, an omer for every man, according to the number of your persons; take ye every man for them which are in his tents. And the children of Israel did so, and gathered, some more, some less. And when they did mete it with an omer, he that gathered much had nothing over, and he that gathered little had no lack; they gathered every man according to his eating. And Moses said, Let no man leave of it till the morning. Notwithstanding they hearkened not unto Moses; but some of them left of it until the morning, and it bred worms, and stank: and Moses was wroth with them. And they gathered it every morning, every man according to his eating: and when the sun waxed hot, it melted. And it came to pass, that on the sixth day they gathered twice as much bread, two omers for one man: and all the rulers of the congregation came and told Moses. And he said unto them, This is that which the LORD hath said, To morrow is the rest of the holy sabbath unto the LORD: bake that which ye will bake to day, and seethe that ye will seethe; and that which remaineth over lay up for you to be kept until the morning. And they laid it up till the morning, as Moses bade: and it did not stink, neither was there any worm therein. And Moses said, Eat that to day; for to day is a sabbath unto the LORD: to day ye shall not find it in the field. Six days ye shall gather it; but on the seventh day, which is the sabbath, in it there shall be none. And it came to pass, that there went out some of the people on the seventh day for to gather, and they found none.

During Israel's travels to Canaan, manna was provided six days a week.

• A single person's portion was weighed out to be an OMER (16:16).
• But during the sixth day, two omers were provided for every person.
• And this was so that during the next day of the Sabbath, when no work was to be accomplished, they would have picked up enough manna the previous day to feed them during the sabbath.

• But the extra manna that was picked up on the sixth day, and carried over until the sabbath morning, did not decay nor breed worms.

There were some who seemingly did not gather enough manna on the sixth day, but only gathered their usual single portion.

• These folks went forth on the sabbath day to gather, which was contrary to law of the Sabbath, for it was work.
• And they found no manna.

Matthew 25:1-12  Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom. And five of them were wise, and five were foolish. They that were foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them: But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps. While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept. And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him. Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps. And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out. But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for us and you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves. And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut. Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us. But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not.

• Verse 4 says that the wise virgins took oil in vessels with their lamps.
• They had oil in their lamps and an extra vessel of oil.
• A double portion.
• The fools' oil went out.
• They only had oil in their lamps and not in extra vessels.
• They only had a single portion.
• And it was not enough to take them into the wedding.

Folks, its going to take a double portion revelation to enter our Rest, as Hebrews 4 relates...

Hebrews 4:1  Let us therefore fear, lest, a promise being left us of entering into his rest, any of you should seem to come short of it.

Hebrews 4:3  For we which have believed do enter into rest, ...

• Jesus explained in John 6 that manna represented the true bread from heaven, which was He that came down from heaven (vv.32-33).
• Jesus Christ (v. 35)..
• And more specifically, the manna was the flesh and the blood of Jesus Christ.


John 6:53  Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you.

Exodus 16:2  And the whole congregation of the children of Israel murmured against Moses and Aaron in the wilderness:

John 6:41  The Jews then murmured at him, because he said, I am the bread which came down from heaven.

• The night before the crucifixion, Jesus took bread and wine and told them it represented His flesh and blood which would be given for them.
• The giving was the dying on the cross.

• What does it mean to eat it?
• Eating manna would give them life.
• So what do we do that we might eat manna and have life.


John 6:40  And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.

• So, the truths of what God accomplished in the Son through the cross, are what we must believe upon.
• And if we believe on them, we will have life.
• Eating the manna is feasting on the truths of what God did on the cross, and believing them.
• You're not feasting if you're hearing and not believing.
• Israel took a single man's portion of manna, one omer, and ate that for five days.
• On the sixth day, so that they might enter the rest, God gave them a double portion of manna.

• Feast on this truth of the one man portion.
• But on the sixth day, the provision for entering into the Rest, or entering into the wedding experience, is a double-man's portion of truth regarding the cross.

Every person who serves Christ knows the single man's portion.

• One man, named Jesus, died on the cross.
• And that single-man's portion of truth accomplishes salvation.
• It provides eternal life.
• It provides justification and sanctification.
• It makes you right in the eyes of God and cleanses you from all sin.
• It provides healing.
• It provides answered prayers.
• But it won't get you into the Rest or the wedding experience.

The thing that will take us into the rest is knowing more than one man died on the cross.

• The double-man's portion involves two people.
• Christ and you.
• When you come into the revelation that is described in 2 Cor 5:14, and it impacts you like nothing else can impact you, then you have received the double portion revelation.


2 Corinthians 5:14  For the love of Christ constraineth us; because we thus judge, that if one died for all, then were all dead:

• Therefore, it was not only one man who died that day on the cross.
• One man did die that die, but not one man only.
• If you are a Christian and serving Christ, then you died with Christ that day He died.
• As far as you are concerned, two people died.


Romans 6:6  Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin.

• But one was one omer and the other was two omers.
• One was for one person, but the other was for two.
• Some only know Christ's death.
• Others have learned that, but they have gone further and realized their deaths with Christ.

Matthew 25:11-12  Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us. But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not.

• The term KNOW in this verse speaks of intimacy between a husband and wife.
• It speaks of a dual relationship.
• Its not a one persons' portion, but a dual portion.

• Revelation 11:3-4 says these two olive trees prophesy.
• So OIL is PROPHESYING or inspired PREACHING.
• You need to receive this inspired preaching I am giving you today concerning your UNION to Jesus' death and ascension.
• You get double portion revelation from this kind of preaching.

Mattew 7:21-23  Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

This requires a dual relationship.

• A single portion revelation will not have you intimate relationship with Jesus.
• You only enter Rest when you enter the wedding experience.
• The 5 wise virgins had the double portion and entered the wedding.
• They came into the experience where two people enter into union.
• Two become one flesh.


1 Corinthians 6:16-17  What? know ye not that he which is joined to an harlot is one body? for two, saith he, shall be one flesh. But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit.

Ephesians 2:4-6  But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us, Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;) And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus:

Ephesians 1:20-21  Which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and set him at his own right hand in the heavenly places, Far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come:

Notice that Paul said we need our eyes of understanding opened to be able to SEE THIS.

Ephesians 1:17-18  That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him: The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints,

2 Kings 2:9-12a  And it came to pass, when they were gone over, that Elijah said unto Elisha, Ask what I shall do for thee, before I be taken away from thee. And Elisha said, I pray thee, let a double portion of thy spirit be upon me. And he said, Thou hast asked a hard thing: nevertheless, if thou see me when I am taken from thee, it shall be so unto thee; but if not, it shall not be so. And it came to pass, as they still went on, and talked, that, behold, there appeared a chariot of fire, and horses of fire, and parted them both asunder; and Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven. And Elisha saw it,

John 14:12  Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.

• What has ascension got to do with them doing greater works?
• We already read in Ephesians that we ascended with Him and are seated with Him above all powers.
• That is what His ascension has to do with US having greater power.
• Greater power is a double portion.
• And Elisha had to SEE that.
• Paul see we have to see, also, with different eyes.
• We see with EYES OF UNDERSTANDING.
• That means we UNDERSTAND, through the SPIRIT OF WISDOM AND REVELATION.
• Its a double portion revelation we need!

• What enemy can scare you when you SEE that you are with Christ above all powers and principalities?

• Its all linked to His ascension.
• And He ascended into Heaven after He resurrected from the dead.
• We will do the things Jesus did.


2 Kings 2:14  And he took the mantle of Elijah that fell from him, and smote the waters, and said, Where is the LORD God of Elijah? and when he also had smitten the waters, they parted hither and thither: and Elisha went over.

• "Where is the Lord God of Elijah?" means "Let me do the same thing Elijah did!"
• And Elijah did the same thing of dividing the waters.

• Moses parted the Red Sea when they left Egypt.
• But this occurred again much later, when Moses' successor, Joshua, took the mantle of Moses, so to speak, and likewise divided the waters at the Jordan River.

• When you can get beyond a barrier that always hindered you in the past, you enter into a new realm with God.
• A higher plain of experience with God in your Christianity.
• Too many stay on one plain all their lives.

2 Kings 2:15-16  And when the sons of the prophets which were to view at Jericho saw him, they said, The spirit of Elijah doth rest on Elisha. And they came to meet him, and bowed themselves to the ground before him. And they said unto him, Behold now, there be with thy servants fifty strong men; let them go, we pray thee, and seek thy master: lest peradventure the Spirit of the LORD hath taken him up, and cast him upon some mountain, or into some valley. And he said, Ye shall not send.

• Its as though they saw Elijah's anointing on Elisha, when Elisha divided the waters, and wanted this same power.
• So they sought Elisha to let them send 50 men to look for Elijah.
• They thought he would be on a mountain somwhere or in a valley.
• Elisha knew he was not.
• But these people continued to urge him.


2 Kings 2:17-18  And when they urged him till he was ashamed, he said, Send. They sent therefore fifty men; and they sought three days, but found him not. And when they came again to him, (for he tarried at Jericho,) he said unto them, Did I not say unto you, Go not?

• They have never seen the ascension.
• They do not realize that the key to victory in God is written right there in black and white.
• But the Bible is something that is more than just black ink on white paper.
• It contains truths that you must mix with your faith if you want to enter into a rest through them.
• Not just read these words and agree with them.
• BELIEVE THEM.
• Apply them to yourself.
• One person told me that there was agreement with those words, but there was no application of these truths to this person.
• This person could believe this for others but not for self.

• Some people think they will find the key to their power through some kind of emotional high, on a mountain, so to speak.
• They feel that they will shout out loud for once and for all, or jump and dance, and from that point on have victory.
• That is not the key.
• The key is to be found in SEEING HIS ASCENSION CONNECTED TO YOU.
• Its seeing the DOUBLE PORTION revelation.

• 50 men went to look for Eljiah in all the wrong places.
• Pentecostals, do not get too proud and think that you know where the power can be found.
• Sometimes Pentecostals get too wrapped up in emotionalism, althouh emotionalism is good.
• God created our emotions to enjoy Him.
• But the answer is not an emotional high.

• They think that such suffering of an extremely long time of fasting, or flagellating themselves with whips, and denying themselves many pleasures in a valley of denial that will reward them a  power with God they are looking for.
• Wrong.
• Its not in the valley either.

Jesus is seated in heavenly places and you are there with Him if you are saved.

• You will only enter this new rest and domain when you SEE HIS ASCENSION.
• Get a revelation of what the Bible says.

A double portion revelation.

And after three days of searching they did not find Elijah.

Three days always speaks of the experience of Jesus' death.

• Three days and three nights passed and Jesus resurrected.
• We can know the truths of the single portion experience of Christ's death.
• Jesus died and for three days was in the grave.
• Yet until we come to the double portion revelation and connect ourselves with His death, burial and resurrection, and ascension and seating, then we will simply miss a very important part of it all.

• Folks, prayer is to be accomplished in conjunction with feeding yourself on the manna.
• Because faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word.
• The WORD, MANNA, will give you strength.... in the form of faith.
• And therefore when you pray, you will have the faith to pray and believe for your prayers to be answered.
• You will know HOW to pray and WHAT to pray for.

• The key is to get this double portion revelation.
• See a truth.
• And that comes from the Word.
• Get that double portion of manna into your spirits.
• Get that DUAL-PERSON understanding.
• The co-crucifixion with Christ, and the co-burial and co-resurrection and co-ascension!
• The co-seating!

• In fact, its a new millennium.
• 2001.
• And God wants to do greater things in our lives than what we have believed for Him to be able to do.
• We must cross barriers that we could never cross before.
• We must enter new territories we have never experienced before.
• Don't be satisfied with not seeing the works of Jesus in your life.
• Don't be satisfied with only having so much experience.
• Make your mind up this year that things are going to be different.
• Start out again if you slipped into dormancy for the past few years.
