During the powerful Breakers Conference, Alexander Pagani gave a tremendous word to the audience about Elisha, King Joash and how we can see Christ’s victory continue from one generation to the next.
“I’m here to tell you, you already have the victory,” Pagani says. “The prophetic word today is, ‘shoot, for the Lord has given the enemies into your hands.'”
The first point Pagani makes is that a searching of the heart and wise mentorship is necessary for victory.

“King Joash went to visit Elisha. There is a heart searching in this generation that has realized that where they’re headed and where they need to go, they can’t get there in their own strength. They are desiring to seek those who have seasoned maturity, those who have paved the way,” says Pagani.
Pagani points out that this generation desires to have wise counsel from older mentors. Just as Elisha had Elijah to mentor him, so too God is placing people in the correct places that they need to be, around the people divinely ordained to be in their lives, so that God can do everything He’s called them to do.
“There are people that God has ordained to be in your life to help you steer your shot in the right direction so that you’re not shooting arrows in the air,” Pagani says.
Pagani’s second point is that the current, upcoming generation should not dishonor older generations, but rather seek them out for guidance.
“King Joash wept when he saw Elisha,” Pagani says. “Which means there was a heartfelt of conviction that gripped him to realize that this individual that is standing before him, he should have spent more time with him, not dishonoring him.”
“I’m here to tell this current generation, don’t dishonor those who come before you,” he continues. “They still got oil, they still got glory, they still got information, they still got maturity that you need. All you have to do is go visit them…”
The third key piece necessary for generational victory is to pass the mantle of God’s glory from one person to the next.
“The third sign is this. Joash said, ‘My father, my father, the chariots of Israel.’ This was not the same person that said it the first time. That was Elisha with his mentor, Elijah…Elisha got up and knew this guy would carry the mantle to bring Israel the victory,” says Pagani.
The fourth key for victory includes the embracing of the younger generation by those who came before them.
“There is an Elisha waiting for you, to empower you. Where their heart’s cry would be the song that caused Saul to be jealous. It won’t bring jealousy in them. They will rejoice in singing this song: ‘I have slain my thousands, but this generation will slay their tens of thousands.'”
Pagani’s fifth point is that the next generation must be willing to submit to authority in order to have godly authority.
“This generation…there’s something inside of them [that] wants to submit. Something inside of them will say, ‘Yes, sir, tell me what you need me to do, and that’s what God is putting in some of you. You cannot minister authority without being under authority,” he says.
Pagani’s final key is one of the most crucial ones for walking with Christ: Dying to self.
“The distance of your arrow is predicated about how far back you pull,” says Pagani. “You want to walk in high levels of the anointing? Then you got to die to your flesh.”
