The Falling Mantle

The Falling Mantle…

The Bible records two ascensions in detail. One focuses on the prophet Elijah. He was standing with his apprentice Elisha when he was taken into heaven. Elisha was left with the prophet’s mantle which he took as his own.

The anointing and ministry of Elijah now rested on him. Then there was Jesus. He ascended to heaven also in the presence of His disciples. So where was the mantle? The mantle was the Spirit that would come upon all His disciples. He told His disciples to go and do greater things.

Jesus’s mantle has been left for you to pick up and wear. You are called to minister in His anointing, heal in His power, set captives free, give good news to the oppressed, feed the hungry, and clothe the naked.

The mantle of Jesus isn’t for one, but for many. So if you belong to Jesus, it’s time to pick up the mantle and rise to the calling He’s got on your life. Because you, too, have been called and given nothing less than the very mantle of Jesus.

But the anointing that you received from him abides in you, and you have no need that anyone should teach you.  1 John 2:27

Today, pick up Jesus’s mantle and live in a manner worthy of the calling He has given for your life.

Walk daily with God at your side!

Love always,
