If you want to experience the supernatural double portions hand of God, you've got to be so committed that when he asks you the ridiculous, you're still willing to do it.

Dr. Tony Evans says getting an extra helping of the Lord comes from changing our focus.

Because you've learned to see him and not the circumstances.

This is the alternative with Dr. Tony Evans.

Author, speaker, senior pastor of Oakcliffe Bible Fellowship in Dallas, Texas and president of the Urban Alternative.

People are living longer these days. But how do we make those extra months and years matter?

Dr. Evans will tell us as he tackles the subject of significance today. Let's join him.

In Psalm 7 and 118 it makes it clear that we ought to transfer the power of God to the next generation.

Not just information about God, but God's very power is to be transferred to the next generation.

So that this generation should be able to piggyback off of our experience with God. Of course, if you don't have one, you can't share one.

But to be able to talk about the God you know rather than merely the God you heard about.

Because like Job, you have seen him with your own eyes.

You're not just telling what somebody told you to say.

You can tell your experience. Many of us have grandparents who maybe didn't have much that they could leave materially.

But they could sure share with you their experience with God in the land of the living even in adverse circumstances.

But unfortunately today we have a generation like in the book of Judges who knew not the Lord.

And therefore there was nothing to transfer.

Well, we come now to the transfer of Elijah to Elijah.

Elijah makes a request in 2nd Kings chapter 2 verse 9.

When they had crossed over Elijah said to Elijah,

I'm sure.

Ask what I shall do for you before I am taken from you.
