The Mantle of Christ
The mantle is given
to each born-again believer called Christians. This is the Mantle of Christ
telling us to put on Jesus Christ. To wear Jesus Christ. How do we receive the
Mantle? Accepting Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior and abiding in His presence,
applying His Word to our everyday lives. Which gives you access to God. Only
then is one changed and are destine to fellowship with the Father. 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 as a token of God's Love knowing the
state of man. Before we review prophetic mantles, we must identify what is
derived from it that arrives from putting on Christ. We must Take off our old
garments and put on Jesus Christ. Take off the old man and put on the new. In
fact, to enter in, we must dress for our Father, as if we have gone out to
dinner or getting ready to sit down to eat, we must wash our hands before
dinner/. This means we must disregard our flesh, crucifying the flesh and
putting on Christ. John the Baptist was the last Prophet in the Old Testament
era. Jesus' death, resurrection, and ascension ushered in a new age; the Church
was born.
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 Shekinah, 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 feel today as though you are during the trial or an
extended 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 usual 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
have put on the new man, renewed in knowledge after The image that created
him...to save us. Romans…13;14 Let us behave decently, as in the daytime, not
in carousing and drunkenness, not in sexual immorality and sensuality, not in
dissension and jealousy. Take no thought for the flesh to supply a stimulus to
its lusts. A life of luxury and self-indulgence is apt to excite those fleshly
impulses Christians should try rather than mortify.
He, Therefore, warns
his readers not to give their thoughts to such things. Put you on the Lord
Jesus This is about what is said, Romans 13:13: Let us put on decent garments -
let us make a different profession, unite with other company, and maintain that
profession by proper conduct. Putting on, or being clothed with Jesus Christ,
signifies receiving and believing the Gospel and consequently taking its maxims
for the government of life after learning the error of our ways. When we step
into this perspective of Love, we can prophesy accordingly and express God's
Love better. God speaks back to us instantly, like a friend on the phone. We do
not ask our friend a question and then must wait 2 minutes to reply. We get an
answer immediately. A key here is the first thought' principle. The Mantle
of Christ itself represents His divine Love and intimacy with the Father that
can now be manifested in this beautiful demonstration of love dwelling inside
the believer in Love with God with all their heart, mind, and strength. Not
until we put on the Mantle can we fore fit the entrance to our rest.
John 14:13-14 and
whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be
glorified in the Son. If ye shall ask anything in my name, I will do it. God's
loves is genuine. So, what does it mean that God is love? The
most important thing we can do as Christians is love God and love people. But
before we can love anyone, we must receive God's love. Because you cannot give
away something you do not have. Love is an attribute of God. Love is
a core aspect of God’s character, His Person. God’s love is in no sense in
conflict with His holiness, righteousness, justice, or even His wrath. All
of God’s attributes are in perfect harmony. Everything God does is loving, just
as everything He does is just and right. God is the perfect example of true
love. Most people use the word “love” as one of the Holy Spirit's
Fruit. Bible even refers to God as love itself. Love could be
explained as wanting the best for someone, and that's precisely what God
intends for us. God loves you simply because he loves you. You do not have to
work for his affection. You do not have to set yourself straight before God can
pour out his love over you. God absolutely loves you. It is hard to get our
minds around, but it is true. If you need to get a more profound revelation of
God's love for you, an excellent place to start is to meditate on this truth
based on God's Word: "God loves me unconditionally!" And God shall be
a lamp unto your feet and a light unto your path. This is where the
faith journey starts: understanding that God loves you. If you do not have an
assurance of God’s love, your faith journey will not last long.
When we come to realize that God has given us a specific
purpose for our lives, we can move forward with confidence, fully trusting the
One who called us to Himself. Like John the Baptist, we do not have to fear to
live with a radical focus on our God-given mission. Can there be any greater
joy or fulfillment in this life than to know God's pleasure and reward await us
in Heaven? Contaminate the Garden of Eden. It with continue acts of sin. They
belong to Him even in their sin, God's intention within it. God's Love is shown
through God's mercy; this demonstration God's compassion that never fails us...
God's signature should be all over us. God's Love makes us inseparable from
Him, making us eager to know Him and love Him and be into Him. Only to desire
more of Him.
