The Highest Office is putting on the Mantle of Christ. What is so unique
about this gift's height that we all can attain it and have it if we desire it.
It is the only gift that makes us one in the body because it puts on Christ
putting on His body that everybody can do more excellent works. We have become
so plastic and artificial in the church we notice people from the outside in,
and God looks us from the inside out."[The
mantle] is called 'the garment of incorruption and purity' [in the text of the
Tonsure ceremony], and the absence of sleeves reminds the monk that he is
debarred from worldly pursuits. The mantle is given him in token of the
'exalted angelic state,' which he assumes “We do not select a mantle; it is
established and destined by God.
A blanket is not ours for the choosing; it is determined
ahead of time by God. The desire God places in our hearts is just one
indication, among other confirmations, of the Calling that is ours. He has the
mind in Christ. The ancient Jews frequently use the phrase putting on the
shechinah, or Divine majesty, to signify the soul's being clothed with
immortality, and rendered fit for glory. Your Father wants to reveal what He is
up to, even if you are feeling today as though you are during the trial or a
long period of waiting about your Calling.
Galatians 3:27 For as many of you as having
been baptized into Christ have put on Christ. Ephesians 4:24 And that you put
on the new man created in righteousness and true holiness after God. That they
might not mistake his meaning concerning the decent clothing which he
encourages them to walk in, he immediately explains himself using a common form
of speech, and says, still following his metaphor, put on the Lord Jesus Christ
- receive his doctrine, copy his example, and seek the things which belong to
another making provision for the flesh or body, to gratify its animal desires
and propensities.
Colossians 3:10-12 And have put on the new
man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him...to
save us.
God loves questions,
so ask God some more questions about the thought that came to you to find out
why you showed me that God?
Prioritize the Prophetic:
Pursue love, and
desire spiritual gifts, but especially that you may prophesy" (1
Corinthians 14:1). Paul just finished the "Love Chapter" (1
Corinthians 13) and now tells us to pursue spiritual gifts. He had listed nine
of these gifts in 1 Corinthians 12:4-11 (tongues, miracles, healing, prophecy,
etc.). We are to pursue the manifestation of all these gifts in our lives, but
we are to go after learning to prophesy above all others. God would never tell
us to desire something that He did not want us to have. It takes a substantial
connection and crucifies the flesh in the obedience of Christ, which means one must
rise to the highest office in our land without that qualification. We are
powerless. God speaks back to us instantly, like a friend on the phone. He
never slumbers or sleeps. He loves us so much that He Prioritize us. A key here
is the first thought' principle.
The first thought
that flies through your head when you ask God a question captures that thought.
If it is encouraging, edifying, or comforting, then go with that thought.
Jesus to be clothed
with a person is a Greek phrase, signifying to assume another's interests - to enter
his views, imitate him, and be wholly on his side. Clothe yourselves with the
Lord Jesus Christ and make no provision for the desires of the flesh.
But on On Inauguration Day, something powerful takes place in the spirit realm; a
presidential mantle from heaven is given to that person. God never grants
someone an assignment without giving him or her the ability to complete and mainstream financial along with the strength. Widely examined within its
Christian context, meaning in every aspect of this bible, God is Love. God
Positions you with the proper Mantle God has for you.
The
‘coat of many colors’ his father gave him indicated favor and position as
overseer to his brothers. Later, He was given a cloak as a head slave in
Photophore’s household. Ultimately, Joseph was robed in garments representing
his position as ruler next to Pharaoh in Egypt. (Genesis 41:42). Still, He did
not go from being a youngster with prophetic dreams directly to the palace.
Those in Christ are instructed to put off the old self/man."[You were
taught] to put off your old self, which belongs to your former manner of life
and is corrupt through deceitful desires" (Eph. 4:22). Those in Christ are
to put away all sin and vice.
"Therefore,
having put away falsehood, let each one of you speak the truth with his
neighbor, for we are members one of another" (Eph. 4:25)."The night
is far gone; the day is at hand. So then let us cast off the works of darkness
and put on the armor of light" (Rom. 13:1
Understand that
God Determines Your Mantle Ahead of Time. Our mantles are our succession from
being faithful lovers of God. with each, and so it is for us. Wait for an
appointment to establish your Mantle. We do not 'self-appointed to a mantle or
ministry. God uses those in oversight and authority to recognize and develop us
in that calling at the right time. (Understand your Calling will be Tested Over
Time.
Keep a
heart of honor towards your leaders, even during the hard times, and serve
their vision faithfully. Stay where God has planted you unless He has released
you to move on. Make it your mission to finish well.
God
wants to release it over the Corporate Body. But it does require something...It
involves a life of complete surrender, obedience, and a lifestyle of deep
communion with God.
When

the extent of seeking the best for others. As in "greet with
affection" and "show affection for the dead.". When God releases
a mantle, we must pick it up! There is an action required on our part. It
required persistence, determination, and faithfulness, so he would be correctly
positioned to receive the mantle when it came for it to be released. People
will hate you because God chose you. Even the pastors of churches who have put
me out have lied to me. I have said that you are not an island by yourself. You
are trying to self-promote yourself.
When God is the one that calls me out from amongst them, women do not
like me in the church. They say I am a different dress different. Preach

Prophetically through the symbols of colors. Some try to apply a general
interpretation of colors, but I also think God gives individuals a unique
meaning…., so it is something for you to pray about. You could start with the biblical interpretation of the color…the blood of Jesus comes to mind. Also,

Your prophetic calling may be a God-breathed call to prophetic ministry.
'Prophetic' speaks of Father's intention for your life—the purpose and destiny
you are created for. 'For we are God's handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do
good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.' (Ephesians 2:10) A
prophetic calling does not mean that God has a rigid set of plans that you must
adhere to. Your prophetic calling has ebbs and flows like a river. It is a journey,
your walk with Jesus.
When it feels as though you have missed the mark or prolonged time of
waiting for your prophetic calling, God's grace is there. You find that the
Holy Spirit has been at work all along. Then, when least expected, you enter a
season of acceleration-god-will-make-up-for-lost-time, and God unfolds His
prophetic calling for your life in ways beyond which you have dreamed.
There are several Ways to Prepare for Your Prophetic Calling. Do you feel
called to prophetic ministry? Here are seven ways to prepare for your prophetic
calling, inspired by those called to the ministry of a prophet in the Bible:
Focus on Intimacy with God and Prayer destined to be a prophetic voice at
Jesus' birth. Leading up to this time, she spent many years ministering as an
intercessor at the Temple, fasting and praying.
Focus on your intimate relationship with God, your prayer, Bible
study, and holy life—in the secret place before anybody sees its result. You
Are now. God positions you with people and leaders that He wants you to serve
now. Serving with faithfulness and a teachable heart is a powerful means of
being posted to attain your God-ordained destiny. Realize you may Wear a Series
of Mantles.
A
mantle and the Prophet's office it represented was destined to be Elisha's in
the future. 1 Kings 19:19 Understand God Determines Your Mantle Ahead of Time.
A mantle is not ours for the choosing; it is determined ahead of time by God.
The desire God places in our hearts is just one indication of our calling,
among other confirmations.
Elisha did
not just receive Elijah's mantle because he happened to be in the right place
at the right time. It was already his according to God's word. (1 Kings 19:16).
Elisha needed to cooperate with God's call on his life to receive the mantle
that was his by God's appointing. Elisha's hunger and pursuit of Elijah were a
sign of what God had placed in his heart. Joseph knew at a young age, through
prophetic dreams, that God had called him to rule. For a long season, Elisha
was a servant to Elijah, supporting him in a menial capacity and learning at
his feet. (2 Kings 3:11) Joseph practiced servanthood for years. He served his
Father, then Photophore, then the prison warden before receiving the mantle of
rulership he was destined for. It can be tempting to go directly after a
mantle, but God has established His timeline for your life as with Elisha and Joseph.
Elisha
was first a worker in his Father's fields and then wore a servant's garb before
he took up Elijah's mantle. When God took Elijah, Elisha took his cloak, the
one he had worn as a servant—and tore it in two. There was no turning back. (2
Kings 2:12-13) Have you had this happen to you? 'God, `I thought that coat was
from you. That mantle had promise. It was colorful. It represented good things
to come.
And now it has
been lost, robbed. That role, that job, that ministry opportunity, why was it
taken from me?'
But Father God sees
the big picture from Heaven's perspective. Your Father wants to reveal what He
is up to, even if you feel today as though you are during the trial or a
long period of waiting concerning your calling. He wants to show you how he
redeemed those trials, even the failures, and how He uses them for His
purposes.
`God-appointed Elisha
as Prophet and successor to Elijah, but God used Elijah to recognize, prepare,
and establish that appointment. God used Jacob, Photophore, a prison warden,
and ultimately Pharaoh himself, to appoint Joseph to a position in Egypt that
was already his through God's intention. And it is the same today.
Joseph received the royal robes over his shoulders. Maybe he recalled the
earlier mantles that he wore: The richly ornamented coat of many colors his
father gave Joseph as a young man became another reason his brothers hated him.
And when his jealous brothers threw him in a pit and sold him to an Egyptian slave
traders, they wrenched the coat from him.
That coat became the evidence the brothers used to 'prove' Joseph's faked death
to their father, Jacob Later, Joseph became a trusted slave, promoted, and
given charge over all his master Photophore's estate. But then Photophore's
wife approached Joseph, wanting to seduce him. However, he valued his master's
trust, purity, and the call of God, and so Joseph ran. But Photophore's wife
grabbed his cloak and used it to accuse him.
A prophetic calling
does not mean that.
God has a rigid
set of plans that you must adhere to
You're prophetic
calling has ebbs and flows like a river.
It is a journey, your
walk with GOD.
He is
raising powerful Mantles prophetic ministries, like Joseph and Daniel, will
serve Him primarily in these areas. Do not assume that a calling to prophetic
ministry means that you will never work in secular employment. Even when called
to ministry as a primary vocation, work wholeheartedly in your earthly career
until God releases you to move on.
Honor your leaders even during times of trial. Elisha had Elijah, and the
disciples had Jesus, but not all those who had a prophetic calling in Scripture
enjoyed substantial leadership benefits. David continued to serve Saul as a
warrior and musician when mistrust and jealousy operated in Saul's life. When
Saul was pursuing David to kill him. David refused to kill Saul even when it
appeared God had granted him an opportunity. His words were, 'But the Lord
forbid that I should lay a hand on the Lord's anointed.' (1 Samuel 26:11)
Samuel faithfully served as a priest under Eli's leadership, even though God's
hand of judgment was against Eli for his character weakness and allowing
corruption in his family and ministry. Samuel waited for God's timing for his
ministry as a prophet and national leader to emerge. (1 Samuel 3-4) Be Planted
in a Local Church When we first meet Agabus, a prominent visionary in the New
Testament, he is a 'company of prophets' in the Jerusalem Church.
The Apostle Paul
began his ministry serving in the local church at Antioch. Despite the powerful
prophetic call on his life, he waited until church leaders confirmed the call's
timing before he launched his missionary calling. (Acts 13)
Move Past Your Comfort Zone; God challenged Jeremiah to speak despite his
youthfulness and timidity. "Alas, Sovereign Lord," I said, "I do
not know how to speak; I am too young." But the Lord said to me, "Do
not say, 'I am too young.' You must go to everyone I send you to and say
whatever I command you." (Jeremiah 1:6-7) To grow into your prophetic
calling, you will face times of stretching again and again. These are points of
decision, orchestrated by the Holy Spirit, in which you can follow and obey
God's call upon your life. Priority.
Yet things are not always easy when starting. You may be asking, why is my
ministry not progressing quickly? How do I get more opportunities to share my
prophetic insights?
We are all called by
God. I could run, but I could not. The first thing I had to recognize was that we
are all called by God. Paul writes, encouraging everyone: "I urge you to
live a life worthy of the calling you have received." DON'T hide from the
call. Have you had a revelation? Has Jesus made himself known to you?
God releases you to
move on. Honor Leaders—Even During Times of Trial, Elisha had Elijah, and the
disciples had Jesus. Still, not all those who had a prophetic calling in
Scripture enjoyed the benefits of strong leadership. David continued to serve
Saul was a warrior and musician when mistrust and jealousy operated in Saul's
life.
Be faithful to serve
as a priest powerful prophetic call is laid on your life, and wait until church
leaders confirmed the call's timing before launching missionary calling. You
must create safety whenever you teach on the Spirit's gifts (especially if the
environment you are in has never heard of the prophetic or the gifts being for
today). Most people have a mystical view of prophecy and the gifts of the
Spirit. We get to make the gifts.

Elisha was first a worker in his father's fields and then wore a
servant's garb before he took up Elijah's mantle. When God took Elijah, Elisha took
his cloak—the one he had worn as a servant and tore it in two.
There
was no turning back. (2 Kings 2:12-13) Joseph had a series of physical mantles
along the way. The 'coat of many colors' his father gave him.
Later, he was given a
cloak as a head slave in Potiphar's household. Ultimately, Joseph was robed in
garments representing his position as ruler next to Pharaohs in Egypt.
(Genesis 41:42). Still, he did not go from being a youngster with prophetic

recognize, prepare, and establish that appointment. God used Jacob, Potiphar, a
prison warden, and ultimately Pharoah himself to appoint Joseph to a position
in Egypt that was already his through God's intention. And it is the same
today. We do not 'self-appointed to a mantle or ministry. God uses those in
oversight and authority to recognize and establish us in that calling at the
right time.

The Holy Spirit’s
attributes also point to His personality. The Holy Spirit has life (Romans
8:2), has a will (1 Corinthians 12:11), is omniscient (1 Corinthians 2:10–11),
is eternal (Hebrews 9:14), and is omnipresent (Psalm 139:7). A mere force could
not possess all these attributes, but the Holy Spirit does.
The Holy Spirit's
person is affirmed by His role as the third Person of the Godhead. Only a being
equal to God (Matthew 28:19) and possesses the attributes of omniscience,
omnipresence, and eternity could be defined as God. “Now the Lord is the
Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. And we all, who
with unveiled faces contemplate the Lord’s glory, are being transformed into
his image with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the
Spirit.”
The Holy Spirit is a
person, as Scripture makes clear. He is revered as God and serves in perfect
unity with Father and Son to lead us in our spiritual lives. There are many
misconceptions about the identity of the Holy Spirit. Some view the Holy Spirit
as a mystical force. Others understand the Holy Spirit as the impersonal power
that God makes available to followers of Christ. What does the Bible say about
the identity of the Holy Spirit?
Simply put, the Bible
declares that the Holy Spirit of God. The Bible also tells us that the Holy
Spirit is a divine person with a mind, emotions, and a will. The fact that the
Holy Spirit God is seen in many Scriptures, including Acts 5:3-4. In this
verse, Peter confronts Ananias as to why he lied to the Holy Spirit and tells
him that he had “not lied to men but God.”
It is
an explicit declaration that lying to the Holy Spirit is lying to God. We can
also know that the Holy Spirit is God because He possesses the characteristics
of God.
His
omnipresence is seen in Psalm 139:7-8, “Where can I go from your Spirit? Where
can I flee from your presence? If I go up to the heavens, you are there; if I
make my bed in the depths, you are there.” Then in 1 Corinthians 2:10-11, we
see the characteristic of omniscience in the Holy Spirit. “But God has revealed
it to us by his Spirit.
The
Spirit searches all things, even the deep things of God. For whom among men
knows the thoughts of a man except for the man’s spirit within him? In the same
way, no one knows the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God. “We can
understand that the Holy Spirit is indeed a divine person because He possesses
a mind, emotions, and will.
When God releases a
mantle, we must pick it up! There is an action required on our part,
persistence, determination, and faithfulness, so he would be correctly
positioned to receive the mantle when it came for it to be released. People
will hate you because God chose you; even the pastors of churches who have put
me out have lied to me. Have said that you are not an island all by yourself.
You are trying to self-promote yourself when God is the one that calls me out
from amongst them.
Women do not like me in the church. They say I am a different dress,
different style of preaching, differently, and why you, unlike God's gifts and
calls that remain on a person for life, a mantle stays with the mission, not
with the man-woman. For example, anyone who becomes president of the United
States must be very gifted. A person does not rise to the highest office in our
land without that qualification.
`But on Inauguration Day, something powerful takes 15:26; 16:13-14).
Grammatically, there is no other way to understand the New Testament's pronouns
related to the Holy Spirit. He is referred to as a "He" as a person.
Matthew 28:19 teaches us to baptize in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy
Spirit. This is a collective reference to one Triune God. Also, we are not to
grieve the Holy Spirit (Ephesians 4:30). The Spirit can be sinned against
(Isaiah 63:10) and lied to (Acts 5:3). We are to obey Him (Acts 10:19–21) and
honor Him (Psalm 51:11). His many works also affirm the parenthood of the Holy
Spirit.
He was personally involved in creation (Genesis 1:2), empowers
God's people (Zechariah 4:6), guides Romans 8:14, comforts John 14:26, convicts
(John 16:8), teaches John 16:13), restrains sin (Isaiah 59:19), and gives
commands (Acts 8:29). Each of these works requires a person's involvement
rather than merely a force, thing, or idea. The Holy Spirits' attributes also
point to His personality. The Holy Spirit has life (Romans 8:2), has a will (1
Corinthians 12:11), is omniscient (1 Corinthians 2:10–11), is eternal (Hebrews
9:14), and is omnipresent (always everywhere at the same time. A mere force
could not possess all these attributes, but the Holy Spirit does. The Holy
Spirit's person is affirmed by His role as the third Person of the Godhead.
Only a being equal to God (Matthew 28:19) and possesses the attributes of
omniscience, omnipresence, and eternally could be defined as God. What made you
think of doing such a thing? You have done not lie just to human beings but to
God."
Paul likewise
referred to the Holy Spirit as God in 2 Corinthians 3:17–18 states, “Now the
Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is
freedom.
And we
all, who with unveiled faces contemplate the Lord’s glory, are being

have received a mantle from the Lord, it has been in a specific place and time.

led me to be in Moriah Chapel in Wales during the Welsh Revival's 100th
anniversary. It was during this time of prayer and seeking the
The Lord

are during the trial or a long period of waiting concerning your calling.
He wants to show you how he is redeeming those trials, even the failures,
and how He uses them for His purposes.
Isaiah 55: 6-8
Heaven’s perspective: is different from our humanistic minds. It is so fabulous
we cannot contain them. His ways are not like our ways. Let the wicked man
forsake his way and the unrighteous man his thoughts; let him return to the
LORD, have compassion, and to our God, for He will freely pardon. “My thoughts
are not your thoughts; neither are your ways. My ways,” declares the
LORD.
“For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so My ways are higher than
your ideas and My thoughts than your thoughts. Isaiah 59:19 King James Version
(KJV) 19 So shall they fear the name of the Lord from the West and glory from
the rising of the sun? When the enemy shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of
the Lord shall lift a standard against him. The Lord spoke to my heart, telling
me. My mantle was Ivory. And the garments He shall supply, and He has been
given me garments for years now. To come. He created and prepared for His
people to wear on the earth. They would empower His children to fulfill their
Heavenly callings and mandates. The mantle is the manifest glory of God.
In my vision of the Mantle Room, I saw that not one of these mantles was the same.
Each was a different size and color. I understood that God did not want carbon
copies but originals.
Get ready! Some of
these mantles are now hovering over the Church and are about to be released on
the earth. God is looking for those He can place them on. Some mantles resemble
things we have seen and are familiar with, while others will empower people to
do something that has never been done before this time in history! God is
looking for those He can anoint with fresh oil.
I
want to briefly share with you four mantles that we can expect to see released
in this next season. This is by no means an exclusive list. There are many
other mantles to pick up and receive besides the four I am about to share. I
want to highlight some of the mantles the Lord has highlighted to me.
A “Mantle of Glory
and Creative Miracles. “Mantles of Glory. There is a mantle falling that cannot
be imitated. This mantle is not known for its design but its singular Designer,
the Lord. Only those who know Jesus as Lord can be fitted for this glory
mantle. The glory is a garment given to the one who lays it all down in the fitting
room of Divine relationship. The mantle is a garment not cheaply made. Every
stitch and seam must withstand the coming persecution and affliction that glory
brings. Therefore, I am “encouraging, comforting and urging you to live lives
worthy of God, who calls you into his kingdom and glory,”1 Thessalonians 2:12.
There is a mantle falling that cannot be imitated. This mantle is not known for
its design but its singular Designer, the Lord. Only those who know Jesus as
Lord can be fitted for this glory mantle. As Paul wrote in 2 Thessalonians
1:11-12, “Wherefore also we always pray for you, that our God would count you
worthy of this calling, and fulfill all the good pleasure of his goodness, and
the work of faith with power: That the name of our Lord Jesus Christ may be
glorified in you, and ye in him, according to the grace of our God and the Lord
Jesus Christ. “The Lordship of Jesus produces glory. The glory is a trademark
of His attesting His design or purpose. There is no glory wherever Jesus has
not been made, Lord. Many want His glory but refuse to submit their hearts,
ambitions, wallets, desires, families, and schedules.
Beauty does not
manifest haphazardly or as a reward for one’s performance. The vision is a
garment given to the one who lays it all down in the fitting room of Divine
relationship. Those who serve as ministers unto God are fitted like Aaron in
Exodus 28:2. "And you shall make holy garments for Aaron, your brother for
glory and beauty." This garment is not cheaply made. Every stitch and seam
must withstand the coming persecution and affliction that glory brings. Therefore,
I am "encouraging, comforting, and urging you to live lives worthy of God,
who calls you into his kingdom and glory,"
1 Thessalonians 2:12.
Worthy of God To be worthy of God, one must surrender to Christ as Lord. The
carnal man must be dethroned as he does not qualify for this Divine mantle. As
Jesus said in Matthew 6:24, "No one can serve two masters. Either he will
hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise
the other." To ignore the voice of Spirit, or delay obedience to His Word,
is the same as denying the Lordship of Christ. How often I have said,
"Tomorrow Lord, I'll have the strength to fulfill your desire." Herein
lies the blame for the glory-void life. My strength is my glory (the knock-off
version). His glory is available to the one willing to go it in His might's
power, His mantle (the authentic version). Jesus as Powerful Master of His
Church. He is establishing His Lordship in the lives of those willing to lay
down their opinions and ambitions. As Lord, He requires of us two things. We
must love God unwaveringly and love ourselves as we love ourselves (Mark
12:30-31). Love is the method of surrender when choosing Christ as Lord. This
year, love will be revealed, cultivated, tested, and refined. Those who do not
love to do not serve. Those who do not help are their masters and must clothe
themselves.
Servants of God are fitted, however, by their Lord, with mantles of glory.
Elijah (meaning 'the Lord is my God' or 'spiritual champion') and Elisha
(meaning 'God will save me' or 'protected, God is salvation or 'My God is
salvation) Their names carry the record of what they represent.
Those who serve as
ministers unto God are fitted like Aaron in Exodus 28:2. "And you shall
make holy garments for Aaron, your brother for glory and beauty.
"It will bring a keen sensitivity to the Person of the Holy Spirit and
will release unusual signs and wonders, not just inside church buildings, but
everywhere His people carry His glory. The Lord recently spoke to me that He
was raising the standard in the healing movement once again. Matthew 12:15
says, "He healed them ALL." This outpouring will release an even
greater wave of signs and wonders, not just in the church services but also in
the marketplace. God is looking for vessels He can endure with the power out in
the marketplace. We will see "backyard miracles" in mass--miracles in
the homes, in the workplace, out on the streets, hospitals, and the malls. We
will see creative wonders everywhere God's people go, releasing the Kingdom's
power into this present age.
The second is a "Mantle of Mass Deliverance." Not only will we see mass
miracles, but there is also a wave of mass deliverance coming. People who have
struggled in their lives for years will receive breakthroughs as the fire of
salvation is released into their lives.
We
encourage you to pray, "Lord, uncover and expose every area of darkness in
my heart." As you do, God will release, by His Spirit, a deep deliverance
in your life. Just as the Lord delivered Israel out of the Egyptians' hands in
the mass, God will bless His people in gathering. And we are not coming out
empty-handed.
This is
where we will see the supernatural divine transfer of wealth, which the
prophets have proclaimed. Mass deliverance is connected to the release of this
divine transfer (see Exodus 3:20-22). The third is a "Mantle of
Supernatural Favor. “God is placing mantles of favor upon His children in this
hour. It is the type of support that God placed on Isaac as he took possession
of the land of his inheritance. The mantles served the laying of the foundation
of the church. That does not mean there is no abiding element, as both, the
commission to preach the gospel abides and the miracles confirming the gospel
are recorded in Scripture.
(See Genesis 26). As
he contended for what God said was his, the Lord eventually even caused his
enemies to want to be at peace. Isaac finally came into a place of total
fulfillment and rested as he dug a well and called Beersheba, meaning
"Well of the Seven." Seven speaks of "fulfillment, completion,
and rest." Favor makes a way where there seems to be no way and causes you
to receive all God has for you.
The
fourth is "Media Mantle." We will see a "Media Revival."
with a move of God spreading through the airwaves. The Lord spoke to me that He
is raising TV networks to help facilitate God's end-time movement. God, TV is
one of those.
But there are more. Jesus
will even be glorified over the secular networks! God is placing Media Mantles
on people who will glorify His name through various media outlets.
As you stay faithful
and committed in the long haul, you will ultimately receive the mantle God has
for you. And the ministry God has for you will be above and beyond anything you
could ever have dreamed.
When I saw among the
spoil a beautiful cloak from Shinar, 200 shekels of silver, a bar of gold
weighing 50 shekels, I coveted them and took them. And see, they are hidden in
the earth inside my tent, with the silver underneath, “and Like a robe, you
will roll them up, like a garment they will be changed.
As we move into this
next season, I encourage you to stay sensitive to the voice of the Spirit as He
leads you into times of prayer and waiting on Him. This will prepare you to be
fully ready for all that He wants to release in and through your life. Get
ready to pick up your mantle!
Spiritual mantles
have a modern application? A spiritual mantle can be passed today from one
person to the next or one generation to the next? A mantle passing from one
person to another. Yes, I believe that happens. If God has placed someone in
your life who is a giant in an area of Christian faith, you may seek to have
their anointing and spiritual authority imparted to you. Maybe that is one of
the reasons God has that person in your life. Remember, though, that the
anointing resident in them is a measure of God’s Holy Spirit given to them by
grace.
The
five 'offices' mentioned are apostle, prophet, evangelist, pastor, and teacher.
As discussed here, their primary purpose is to empower and equip God's people
to serve and grow in maturity and Christlikeness. To weigh up the ministry or
words of local or global prophetic ministries which call for repentance or
expose sin, see.
God shows us we need
to develop an unwillingness to throw in the towel, never to say, “I quit.
” Life and service to
the Lord are like a cross country race--not a hundred-yard dash!
One of the
greatest needs in Christian life as fathers or mothers, as husbands or wives,
or servants in any area is endurance with commitment.
We need to be
problem-solvers, to work through our problems rather than quit.
But in humility,
submission to authority, loyalty,
faithfulness, and obedience in being a servant. All of this was vital to his
training and preparation for ministry. To lead, one must first learn how to be
conducted.
To give directions,
one must first learn how to receive and follow instructions. To be faithful,
one must first learn faithfulness.
This seems to be one
of the lessons of Luke 16:10, “He who is faithful in a tiny thing is faithful
also in much, and he who is unrighteous in a tiny thing is unrighteous also in
much.
” Elisha’s
preparation reminds me of Christ's comment in Mark 10:43-45, “but whoever
wishes to become great among you shall be your servant, and whoever wants to be
first shall be slave of all.
But to me, a prophet
is simply someone who shares messages from God with one person or many people.
Those messages reveal' from His Son's purposes, intentions, and heart for the
people involved. The messages may be told in pictures and visions, but
prophets'' voices, just as much as they see what he is doing. The English word
prophet comes from the Greek word prophets, which can m "a "one who
speaks forth" or "advocate" through the." Prophets are also
called "s" seers" because of their spiritual insight or
ability" to "see" the future. Usually, the prophets God sends
are despised, and their message unheeded. Isaiah described his nation as a
"rebellious people, deceitful children, children unwilling to listen to
Lord's' instruction.
They say to the
see's, 'See no more visions!' and to the prophets, 'Give us no more visions of
what is right! Tell us pleasant things, prophesy illustrate "s."
(Isaiah 30:9–10). Jesus lamented that Jerusalem had killed the prophets God
sent to them (Luke 13:34).
In the
Bible, prophets often had both a teaching and revelatory role, decagon's' truth
on contemporary issues, and revealing details about the future Isaiah's
ministry, for example, touched on both the present and the future.
You will see Him to
preached boldly against the corruption of his day (Isaiah 14) and delivered
grand visions of Israel's future (Isaiah 25:8). The prophets came from various
backgrounds, spoke to different audiences, possessed unique styles, and used
different methods. Most of the Old Testament prophets’ messages concerned the
people of Israel; if other Most prophets of God were men, but the Old Testament
also says prophetesses such as Miriam (Exodus 15:20, ESV), Deborah (Judges 4:4,
ESV), and Huldah (2 Kings 22:14, ESV). All prophets shared some characteristics
that made their ministries “prophetic.”
` Call
to be a prophet as required to deliver God’s message accurately. The prophet
Micaiah put it well: “As surely as the Lord lives, I can tell [the king] only
what the Lord tells me.”
(1 Kings 22:14).
Those who, like Jeremiah, tried to keep silent found they could not (Jeremiah
20:9). Those who, like Jonah, tried to avoid their responsibility were
corrected (Jonah 1:3-4). Like the unnamed prophet from Judah, who directly
disobeyed the divine command, they lost their lives (1 Kings 13:15–24).
The miracles, which
are intended to confirm believers' Faith, are now registered in Scripture, and
they are sufficient for our Faith. Mark 16:20; that is, their function was to
confirm the apostolic Word. They were not intended for just any purpose. And
started to speak in tongues. And said I been looking for a long time. That was
God. Did you not forget the words that were spoken? And yet, you believe that I
will hurt people instead of love people. While women also were partakers of
this gift.
However. in that,
they also were able to know the Scriptures for themselves. While confessing
God's beautiful works in Acts 2 and elsewhere were forbidden to exercise
this gift in the church's public worship and forbidden to preach; why does man
not understand the truth and prefer a lie? And say good is evil and evil is
good.
Another prophet,
Jeremiah also operated as a seer (Look at Jeremiah 1:11–13). Notice that God
does not ask Jeremiah what he “feels” or “thinks,” but instead, what he “sees.”
After Jeremiah sees the vision, God gives him insight into what the vision
meant (Jeremiah 1:14–18).
A prophet sometimes
had a unique appearance. Elijah was known for wearing “a garment of hair and
had a leather belt around his waist” (2 Kings 1:8). Elijah’s mantle that he
left for Elisha was also seen as a symbol of the prophetic office.
(2 Kings 2:13–14).
God told Ezekiel to shave his head and beard (Ezekiel 5:1). Other prophets were
set apart in different ways: Jeremiah, for example, was told he could not marry
(Jeremiah 16:2); Hosea was told to marry a prostitute (Hosea 1:2). All prophets
were recognized as those through whom God spoke (even if their message was not
welcome).
A true
prophet of God will be committed to speaking God’s truth. He or she will never
contradict God’s revealed Word. A true prophet will say, with the prophet Micaiah
just before his fateful confrontation with Ahab, “As surely as the Lord lives,
I can tell him only what my God says” (2 Chronicles 18:13). A prophet often led
a hard life. Isaiah was sent to a people “ever hearing, but never
understanding.”
(Isaiah 6:9), and
(according to tradition), he was eventually murdered for his efforts. Ezekiel
ministered to “a rebellious people” (Ezekiel 12: 2). The queen of Israel sought
to take Elijah’s life (1 Kings 19:2). Jeremiah was thrown into a cistern, where
he “sank into the mud” (Jeremiah 38:6).
Jesus spoke of
Jerusalem as those “who kill the prophets and stone those sent” to them (Luke
13:34), and, speaking to the Jewish leaders of his day, Stephen asked this
condemning question: “Was there ever a prophet your ancestors did not
persecute?”
(Acts 7:52) The role
of the Old Testament prophet reached its consummation in the person of John the
Baptist, who was predicted in Malachi 4:5 (cf. Luke 7:26–27); and in Jesus
Christ, who was the Prophet “like Moses” predicted in Deuteronomy 18:15 (...
Acts 3:22).
Are there true
prophets today? Absolutely For the church has different gifts to build the body
of Christ., Ephesians 4:10- 10. He who descended is the very one who ascended
above all the heavens to fill all things. And it was He who gave some to be
apostles, some to be prophets, some to be evangelists, and some to be pastors
and teachers, to equip the saints for works of ministry, to build up the body
of Christ…
Because Jesus’
descendant, he gave the church what Jesus carried inside himself. He told the
disciples and Apostles that when He shall descend, He will send the comforter, and
everyone who has this hope in Him purifies himself, just as Christ is
pure...
“I am the bread of
life. He who comes to Me will never go hungry, and he who believes in Me will
never be thirsty, for I have come down from heaven not to do My will but to do
the will of Him who sent Me. And this is the will of Him who sent Me, that I shall
lose none of all that He has given Me but raise them on the last day.
My Father’s will be
that everyone who looks to the Son and believes in Him shall have eternal life,
and I will raise him on the last day.” John 6:35, 38-40 God is preparing His
“bride” His “called out ones” — for the wedding banquet of His Son, our Lord,
and Bridegroom, Jesus.
It is a feast that will take place just before the significant judgments of
God. The day is coming… in our lifetime! Some will be made, but many will remain
to suffer God’s wrath. Jesus tells us: “…pray that you may be able to escape
all that is about to happen.”
Luke 21:36 If the purpose of a prophet were
to reveal the truth from God, why would we need prophets if we
False prophets in the
world (1 John 4:1-3, 2 Peter 2:1:3) 2. Deception is not always immediately
perceived. (Acts 16:16-18) 3. Confirmation and affirmation. They come to you in
sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves” (Matthew 7:15). He
later noted that, In the New Testament, we have many warnings against false
prophets. Jesus taught, “Watch out for false prophets. King Ahab kept 400 such
false prophets in his. In the end, we are times “false messiahs and false
prophets would appear and perform great signs and wonders to deceive, if
possible, even the elect” (Matthew 24:24). Revelation speaks of a false prophet
who will arise in the Tribulation and deceive people worldwide (Revelation
16:13; 19:20; 20:10).
To avoid
being led astray, we must always “test the spirits to see whether they are from
God” (1 John 4:1). Often, a prophet in the Old False Prophets, of course, not
everyone who “speaks forth” a message is a prophet of God. The Bible warns
against false prophets who claim to speak for God but deceive the people they
purport to inform.
1
Thessalonians 5:20-21 declares, “Do not treat Prophecy. Whatever the case,
whenever a person claims to be speaking for God (the essence of Prophecy), the
key is to compare what is said with what the Bible says.
If God were to speak
through a person today, it would be 100% complete agreement with what God has
already said in the Bible. God does not contradict Himself. 1 John 4:1
instructs us, “Dear friends, do not believe every spirit, but a test. For
example, Ananias has given a prophecy about Paul’s future (Acts 9:10–18). Acts
21:9 mentions four daughters of Philip who could prophesy.
Prophecy is listed as
a spiritual gift in 1 Corinthians 12 and 14. In the end times, two “witnesses.”
will prophesy from Jerusalem (Revelation 11).
Prophecies with
contempt. Test everything. Hold on to the good.
” So, whether it is a
“word from the Lord” or a supposed prophecy, our response should be the same.
Compare what is said to what the Word of God says. If it contradicts the Bible,
throw it out. If it agrees with the Bible, pray for wisdom and discernment about applying it (2 Timothy 3:16-17.
James 1:5). The Old
Testament also mentions false prophets.
These were liars who claimed to speak for God but intended to deceive the
people or serve their interests. Ahab had nearly four hundred such false
prophets in his employ (1 Kings 22:6, 23). Nehemiah’s work was opposed by
several false prophets and one false prophetess (Nehemiah 6:14).
The test of a
prophet's accuracy as if he or she 100 percent in the prophecy said
(Deuteronomy 18:22). If a prophet’s predictions did not come true, he could not
have spoken for God since God never lies (Numbers 23: Elijah and the people
killed all of Baal's false prophets, in compliance with God’s command in\
(the." LORD, nothing.
Woe be unto the
pastors that destroy and scatter the sheep of my pasture! Saith the Lord. Tell
those who prophesy out of their imagination: Hear the word of the LORD! Your
prophets, O Israel, are like foxes among the ruins.…"But false prophets
also arose among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you,
who will secretly bring in destructive heresies, even denying the Master who
bought them, bringing themselves swift destruction. And many will follow their
licentiousness, and because of them, the way of truth will be reviled. And in
their greed, they will exploit you with false words; from old, their
condemnation has not been idle, and their destruction has not been asleep.
"False prophecy is in defiance of God's word. Prophecy always lines up
with God's Word 3. Bearing witness with the spirit. (sense of agreement or
grievance).
1. Let two or three
prophets speak, and let the others pass judgment. 4. Bearing witness to the
Prophetic Ministry. The spirit of the Prophet is subject to the prophets.
1 Cor. 14:32 (Twofold
meaning of “Subject-the control of- External and Internal.” I saw the Samuel
Prophets carry a building anointing and a hybrid gift mix of apostolic and
prophetic functions. They serve the body by teaching, training, and grooming the
next generation of prophets. I also saw the Power Prophets' launching, flowing
in different demonstrations and power levels in signs, wonders, and miracles.
These daring prophets will be on the front lines of the next great move of God.
They are instruments of revival and catalysts of change in the earth carrying a
divine authority. Examining Samuel's life, as a child, he was given to
the
Lord's work, born in
the womb of travail. He was the last and greatest.
Yet, we are
also called to put on the character qualities and virtues that reflect our
identity as God's children. When we accept Jesus and believe in our hearts that
HE IS LORD, AND He is His son's son, that Jesus is God who put on flesh and whose
identity is a sword statement, we must pursue his lofty goal to anticipate the
day when we will take off our mortal put on resurrected bodies that fully
reflect Christ’s resurrection body.
These Dimensions will
allow us to see more outstanding works. If not, we are grazing in the grass.
The apostle Paul seems to pick up this metaphorical use, and he runs with it in
various ways. Those in Christ have already put on Christ. “For us, many of you
as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ" (Gal. 3:27). Those in
Christ is commanded to put on Christ. Those in Christ have already put on the
new self/man.
"[You] have put
on the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge after the image of its
creator" (Col. 3:10).
Those in Christ are
instructed to put on the new self/man."[You were taught] to put on the new
self, created after the likeness of God in true righteousness and
holiness" (Eph. 4:24). Those in Christ are to put on the whole armor of
God. "The night is far gone; the day is at hand. So then let us cast off
the works of darkness and put on the armor of light" (Rom. 13:12).
"Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the
schemes of the devil. . .. Stand, therefore, having fastened on the belt of
truth and having put on the breastplate of righteousness" (Eph. 6:11, 14).
"But since we
belong to the day, let us be sober, having put on the breastplate of faith and
love, and for a helmet, the hope of salvation" (1 Thess.
5:8)." Therefore, since so great a cloud of witnesses surrounds us, let us
also lay aside every weight and the sin which clings so closely and let us run
with endurance the race that is set before us" (Heb. 12:1).Identity as
God's children. Our identity reflects our ability to do more incredible things
in Christ Jesus. Every believer must put on the essence, which is putting on
the mantle of Jesus Christ. By y trusting in who Jesus is and what he has done
for us.
Those in Christ are
to put on love and other virtues. “Put on then, as God's chosen ones, holy and
beloved, compassionate hearts, kindness, humility, meekness, and patience."
(Col. 3:12)." And above all these put-on loves, which binds everything
together in perfect harmony" (Col. 3:14). Those in Christ have perishable,
mortal bodies that will one day put on imperishable, immortal, heavenly bodies.
“For this perishable body must put on the imperishable, and this mortal body
must put on immortality" (1 Cor. 15:33).
For in this tent, we
groan, longing to put on our heavenly dwelling, if indeed by putting it on, we
may not be found naked. We are still in this tent for a while; we groan, being
burdened—not that we would be unclothed, but that we would be further clothed
so that what is mortal may be swallowed up by life. For in this tent, we groan,
longing to put on our heavenly dwelling" (2 Cor. 5:2)."Therefore put
away all filthiness and rampant wickedness and receive with meekness the
implanted word, which can save your souls" (James 1:21). You can tell a
lot about people from the clothes they wear. The clothes that we choose to wear
often reflect our status, values, and priorities. At Hollywood red carpet
events, reporters often ask actors and actresses, "Who are you
wearing?" to find out which designer created their clothes. In the ancient
world, clothing had a similar significance.
It could reflect a
person's socioeconomic status, mood, or even character. The New Testament uses
clothing imagery to describe three differently. Still, closely related, aspects
of our relationship with God.1 First, it emphasizes our union with Christ that
happens at our conversion. In Galatians 3:26-27, Paul writes that "in
Christ Jesus, you are all sons of God, through Faith. For as many of you as
were baptized into Christ have put on Christ." Therefore, everyone who has
committed their life to Christ by Faith has the status of having "put on
Christ."
Second, clothing
imagery vividly portrays the transformation that results from our relationship
with Jesus Christ. In contrast to living a life of disobedience to God and his
ways (Rom 13:13), Paul instructs believers to "put on the Lord Jesus Christ,
and make no provision for the flesh, to gratify its desires" (Rom 13:14).
Sometimes the command is to "put on" specific godly characteristics
that reflect Christ himself: "Put on then, as God's chosen ones, holy and
beloved, compassionate hearts, kindness, humility, meekness, and patience."
(Col 3:12). Thus, the call to "put on" these godly characteristics is
rooted in our status as holy, chosen, and loved by God.
Third, clothing
imagery describes our bodies' transformation that will take place when we are
resurrected from the dead. Paul explains that "this perishable body must
put on the imperishable, and this mortal body must put on immortality" (1
Cor 15:53). In the meantime, as we await that day, "we groan, longing to
put on our heavenly dwelling, if indeed by putting it on, we may not be found
naked. For a while, we are still in this tent, we groan, being burdened—not
that we would be unclothed, but that we would be further clothed so that what
is mortal may be swallowed up by life".
Confirmation
There are many ways
to study the Bible, but there is something special about looking at an entire
Bible book. You start to better appreciate the intent of the writer. Verses
have the context that can deepen your understanding.
You can engage with
the entire book in the way it was initially meant to be learned. But studying a
whole book of the Bible takes a different approach than most Bible Studies.
Designed to help
strengthen your Faith. Affirmation
A declaration that serves
the same purpose as an oath (if a commitment is objectionable to the person on
religious or ethical Affirmations
in the grounds)
Faith, religion, religious belief - a strong belief in a supernatural power or
powers that control human destiny; "he lost his faith but not his
morality."
Bible Biblical
affirmations are the use of Scripture to take our thoughts captive to obey.
Christ (2 Corinthians
10:5). This means turning around the lies of the enemy, Satan, and replacing
them with the truth of God’s Word.
"Let these
false prophets tell their
dreams, but let my true messengers faithfully proclaim my every word. There is
a difference between straw and grain! Does not my word burn like fire?"
"Is it not like a mighty hammer that smashes a rock to pieces?
It is time to take
the mask off your face. Your body shall not carry a stitch, says the Lord of
the host., one day is like a thousand years is as a day. And body until all you
see is My son abiding in you. Proclaim the year of the LORD's favor and the day
of our God's vengeance, to comfort all who mourn, too, provide for those who grieve.
Samuel Prophets are
born to ignite a fire, kindle a weakened generation, and bring back lost glory.
They bring the Shekinah where they meet a tent... While Hophni and Phinehas
deposed God's things, God raised a young boy to grow in favor and wisdom. When
there’s rebellion in any generation, God will raise reformers to birth revival.
Samuel was called to set up the fire. The word of the Lord was rare in those days;
Samuel was the conduit through which God spoke to Israel.
He was set apart as a
Nazarene; Samuel Prophets are set apart from the world. In the time of Eli, the
Israelites made false gods. The Philistines oppressed them, but when Samuel
came into leadership, he commanded that all false gods be burned down. Samuel
Prophets pull-down altars, strongholds, religion, and powers. They rescue
people under demonic attack.
They
set captives free; they preach the liberty of men in Christ.
Prophets are also
intercessors, watchmen who lift the people’s queries before the Lord. They love
order in the House and are not afraid to confront. Even though Samuel saw
Saul’s weaknesses, he kept interceding for him, and he kept on praying for Saul
as much as he could. Samuel Prophets carry the heart of the people and the
heart of God.
POWER THE PROPHETS
COMMES FROM OBEDIENCE TO GOD
It is usually in the A mantle that God gives to those He has chosen. As the name implies, the Power. Prophets have an unusual anointing to make things happen.
They
have such an authority to shut the heavens, make the sun stand still, cause
drought, send fire from heaven, send dew, and more. They are known for these
things because of their high standard of intimacy with the Lord. These are
prophets of prayer, intercessors who terrorize hell. Power Prophets have a
declaring mantle on their lives; they operate powerfully in the gift of Faith
and the working of miracles.
We saw.
Elijah personally
shut heaven (1 Kings 17:1); we saw.
Joshua made the
sun stand still (Joshua 10:12-13).
Moses was a man who
was called forth to bring redemption to the Israelites.
Un-Revealing
The Power of The Prophet
Revealing PROPHETS These prophetic graces operate outside of the proportion of
the time. Prophets see into events with precision and accuracy. Revealing
Prophets see, hear, and witness heavenly activities, engage angelic beings, and
operate at a high level of the word of knowledge. Now, the Lord will trans
relocate these prophets into supernatural realms to see what He has for His
people. When the Lord allows this, they know what has never been revealed
because these prophets flow outside our time constraint.

A Step-By-Step Guide to
Operating in The Gift of Prophecy The gift of prophecy is not reserved for a

Web-class curriculum: WHO’S
PROPHETIC? The priesthood of all believers is a well-accepted concept in the
church. But what about the prophetic mantle? We all believe Pastor and Teachers
are given gifts by God, but we would never let an untrained Pastor or Teacher
lead our church. Many people think it should not require any training for
prophetic girting if it is God. Does this hold up to scripture? Or should we be
training Prophets as we do Pastors and Teachers?
BLOCKS TO HEARING – We look at
the difference between the soul – mind, will, emotions – and our spirits. We
then study the effects of our souls' training on our surrounding culture and
how this training affects how we receive from God.
In other words, we
will be looking at how our worldview affects our ability to receive from God.
Paradigms: Did Jesus have
to speak in parables because he did not fit their expectations? If the
disciples who said to Jesus themselves did not get what he was about because of
their outlook, how about us today? Could it be that God uses dreams, visions,
and signs to help us get past our false paradigms?
TRAINING DISCIPLES:
How strong was symbolic language in the O.T.? An overview of events shows how
many O.T. events tie into an extended dream, vision, or sign. Jesus also
trained the disciples in this language through his parables. And later, he
expects them to know their meanings without his help.
Acts 2, Jesus poured
out this symbolic language on all believers, but what about us who are now to
live like them? Should we be in language study ourselves?
In Acts 10:9-16,
Peter has a vision from God that challenges his world views. Why did Peter have
to value symbolic language, work through his paradigms on the way, and only
then finally figure out what God wanted? Murray gives an example that shows how
God still speaks the same style and why it was this type of language that God
decided to release at Pentecost.
Following the signs:
What is a sign? Are we supposed to watch for them? How much emphasis does God
place on signs? The great author and the flow of his famous – timeliness!
Identifying and interpreting schedules in the Bible, history, the news, and in
our personal lives. The greater the suffering, the greater the peace.
What is God saying in
everyday events all around us? Faith: a relationship, not an emotion.
Guidelines for stepping out in Faith. The key to the temple = trust! Continuing
further into the temple: journeying, the biblical use of the imagination.
Discernment: does and do not s, how to tell the difference between a wolf and
the wounded, practicing the gift of discernment. Burden bearing: a gift from
birth, family issues, signs of unredeemed problems, safety mechanisms, the cure
to live a life of normalcy. Dealing with personal pain: what is the biblical
model for dealing with emotions? The process of turning the emotional system
back on…cleansed.
Introduction to
dreams: symbolic language, meeting Jesus in your dreams, how thoughts connect
to the spiritual realm.

Paradigms: How much do our
standards affect the way we see life? Could it be that Jesus spoke in symbolic
language because they saw Jesus through their current world view? Did Jesus
have to say in parables because he did years? Their expectations?

spoke to Jesus themselves did not get you. Who is about because of their
