1 Peter 2:5
You yourselves like living stones are being built up as a spiritual house, to be a holy priesthood, to offer spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.
Jesus is every believer’s High Priest (Hebrews 3:1, 4:14, and 6:20), and we are all kings and priests unto the Lord ourselves Revelation 1:6, 5:10. We don’t have to have anyone with their collar turned around backwards to intercede between us and the Lord. That is Jesus’ job. The Lord accepts our spiritual sacrifices offered through Jesus.

11 And he gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the shepherds and teachers,

but whatever He hears He will speak, and He will declare to you the things that are to come.

“And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my Spirit on all flesh; your sons and your daughters shall prophesy,
your old men shall dream dreams, and your young men shall see visions.   In other words, everyone who follows God

that you may proclaim the excellencies of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light.

2 Kings 2:9
When they had crossed, Elijah said to Elisha, “Ask what I shall do for you, before I am taken from you.”
And Elisha said, “Please let there be a double portion of your spirit on me.”   Note

Elijah may have suspected before that Elisha knew what was going to happen, but here, he knew it.
He asked Elisha what he wanted because it was obvious through his persistence that he was believing God for something.

Elisha wanted a double portion of Elijah’s spirit and power.

He got his request and did twice as many recorded miracles as Elijah did.

However, in the New Testament, we all have been given the fullness of the Godhead (Colossians 2:9-10), and we can’t get twice as much as some other person.

We all are complete in Christ.

We can operate in twice the power of God as someone else, but we all have the fullness of God dwelling in us completely (John 1:16).

It’s just a matter of how much we draw out and not how much God gives.

It’s significant that Elijah told Elisha to ask him what he would before he was taken away.

It is unscriptural to think saints in heaven intercede for us. Jesus is our intercessor (Hebrews 7:25).
