Restoring Health: body, mind and spirit

John Murray’s Elisha Code book review

Leave a comment


Here’s John Murray’s much appreciated Amazon review of “The Elisha Code & the Coming Revival.”
|As I read through this book three words came to mind, intriguing, interesting and challenging. The title itself is intriguing as one waits for the Elisha code to be revealed. Then it is further intriguing as the authors introduce the ministry of Elijah and Elisha, the well-known prophets from the Old Testament.
Then came the interesting and fascinating comparison between their ministry and that of John the Baptist and Jesus, recorded in the New Testament. Incredibly revealing was the pattern and similarity in the comparison of their ministry, even down to almost identical miracles performed.
Finally came the personal challenge. Do we have the desire to reflect the character of Jesus or Elisha? Are we open to the work of God’s Holy Spirit in our lives? Do we want to be a blessing to a hurting and needy world? We are left with the question of how deeply do we desire to be part of the needed revival within and outside the church today? This book puts it on the line. — reviewed by John Murray.
