2nd Kings 2:
To receive the double portion of the Holy Spirit requires that we not allow any of the distractions of this world or even the advise of Christian leaders or members of our assembly in Christ to distract us with their advise. The starting place is the house of God and then we begin to hunger for more as we sense the fragrance of God’s presence until we descend into the place of humbling to continue until we cross over and obtain it.

Psalms 56:
There are many that are seeking to fight against us through prayer curses and many other ways so that we can feel the oppression of it. The enemy is seekng to make us afraid through this but it is at the very time we are being cornered to begin to fear that we will chose to put our trust in God. We confess boldly with our mouth that we do not fear what mere fleshly beings can do to us. God knows all about our life and He has put all our tears in His records to bring out in His best time for us. When we deeply cry unto God then God will turn back our enemies. In Elohim who is Yaweh we can praise His word. The vows which we have made out of praise for the glory of Who God is we will pay that are upon us.

Numbers 30:
There is an order of authority that God has set up in the family unit. The husband has authority over the wife and the father has authority over his daughter. The making of vows by the wife or the daughter can be negated by the husband to the wife and the father to the daughter if he hears them and tells them that they will not be allowed to stand. God then can forgive the wife or the daughter for making the vow. If a widow or divorced person utters a vow then their vows stand because they are not under authority but related directly to God. If the husband or father later on after hearing her vow and letting it stand changes his mind and voids the vow then he will bear her inquity.

Psalms 73:
It is when we enter in the Spirit into the heavenly place before the throne of God that we see the true end of things in this present world. This keeps us from being drawn into the temptations of the immediate to sin against God with the wicked.
