The bible is a legal document.
The bible is subject to legal process.
What most people name calllig on the promises is what is also known as invoking precedent.

The best example is Elisha.
He knows that his master is about to be taken up.
He also knows that he has a problem.
Ministries are not inherited.

Yet, he knows that the vision and ministry are one.
He knows by now that the vision and ministry are his.

This makes him invoke the law where it states that the firstborn, even if it is the son of a despised women, must receive the portion due, the double portion.

John the baptist made it clear that God does not give his spirit by measure, so don't go there...

If we were to look at the examples set by Deborah, Hulda, and Samuel, we would see that a prophet uses precedent to remember the past, understand the present, and inspire with the future.

If we are to get the most out of prophecy and scripture in general, making use of precedent will help us understand the introduction of a given concept, how added details guide us to its fulfillment, and where its full manifestation takes place within Revelations.
