TOPIC: ACTIVATING YOUR FAITH IN THE PROPHETIC MANTLE

"And God wrought special miracles by the hands of Paul: So that from his body were brought unto the sick handkerchiefs or aprons, and the diseases departed from them, and the evil spirits went out of them." - Acts 19: 11-12

The above verse of Scripture reveals that the prophetic “Mantle” is a medium of transference of power or unction to deliver our desired turnarounds. Nonetheless, you must have Faith in this Kingdom mystery to command and enjoy dominion over limiting forces: For without Faith, the Believer will suffer, struggle and probably die in frustration Habakkuk 2: 4 asserts. Testimonies abound in this Commission, that attest to the supernatural dimension of power resident in the prophetic “Mantle.” Much like apostle Paul wrought special miracles with aprons and handkerchiefs imparted with the Grace which he carried, so have proofs of a supernatural kind erupted in this Commission by the engagement of handkerchiefs imparted by the spirit of the Prophet set over this Commission.

MIRACLE

A Miracle is an inexplicable yet undeniable event or phenomenon - an occurrence one cannot explain, yet cannot be denied. The prophetic “Mantle” is a medium through which miracles are wrought.

Do understand, that the prophetic “Mantle” transfers the spirit of the Prophet into the life of anyone who thirsts for an impartation. Evidenced by the transference of the spirit of Elijah on Elisha as a consequence of Elisha’s encounter, with the Prophet’s “Mantle”.

"And when the sons of the prophets which were to view at Jericho saw him, they said, The spirit of Elijah doth rest on Elisha. And they came to meet him, and bowed themselves to the ground before him." - 2 Kings 2: 15

Consequent upon the impartation by the prophetic “Mantle”, Elisha, in response to his thirst or request enjoyed a double portion of the Anointing that was on Elijah. For Scripture records that whilst Elijah’s ministry witnessed a total of sixteen (16) outstanding miracles, Elisha’s birthed thirty-two (32). Be mindful that this transferrable spirit conferred on Elisha was the same spirit at work in Moses and all of our Covenant fathers in the Faith. The same spirit is at work in our contemporary Fathers of the Faith - Bishop Oyedepo, Kenneth Hagin, Kenneth Copeland etc. God has made available or deposited this Grace or spirit upon his prophets, for the purpose of freely imparting this Grace upon anyone who covets such. Affirmed thus:

"And the Lord came down in a cloud, and spake unto him, and took of the spirit that was upon him, and gave it unto the seventy elders: and it came to pass, that, when the spirit rested upon them, they prophesied, and did not cease." - Numbers 11: 25

Therefore, it is incumbent on you to locate carriers of such Grace and connect. Jude 1: 3 asserts that God delivered this spirit or Grace once to the saints, He has no intention of mass producing this Grace, so whoever covets this spirit must crave a transference of such from the carrier. Many believers struggle through life, because they do not believe in the mystery of transference of Grace or spirit; they choose instead, to erroneously pursue a direct impartation or connection with God. Such a posture, invariably ends in frustration, for the mystery of impartation, is fundamental to enjoying the privileges of redemption (2 Corinthians 4: 13, Romans 1: 11, Romans 11: 29, Numbers 11: 25).

It is however instructive to ensure that whoever you seek to be imparted by has a Word referenced lineage or history of fathers in the Faith. For any so called “Man of God” without Word verified fathers in the Faith may possibly be an agent of the devil.

Matthew 7: 20 declares "Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.” Thus, anyone imparted by the spirit of a Word scrutinized Prophet, manifests proofs, reflected in language, disposition and testimonies."

DEMANDS FOR IMPARTATION BY THE PROPHETIC MANTLE

Receive The Person Of The Prophet: Matthew 10: 41 declares “He that receiveth a prophet in the name of a prophet shall receive a prophet's reward; and he that receiveth a righteous man in the name of a righteous man shall receive a righteous man's reward.”Lots of peopleonly want to receive the miracle, without receiving the person of the Prophet. Understand, that there is the Word and Spirit, many receive the Word, but are unable to receive the Spirit, because of a failure to receive the person of the Prophet. Explaining why many, in spite of their diligence in church activities, are perpetual strugglers: For the letter kills, but it is the Spirit that gives life and engenders dominion.

Believe In The Ministry Of The Person: You must believe in the assignment God has given to the person, affirmed in 2 Chronicles 20: 20.

Honour The Prophet In Your Heart: Honour the messenger of God in your heart, revealed thus, in Mark 6: 4 “But Jesus said unto them, A prophet is not without honor, but in his own country, and among his own kin, and in his own house.” You cannot be a beneficiary of anything you mock and despise. Virtue always flows in the direction of honour; therefore, honour God’s messenger from your heart, honour him by your obedience, pray for him, beautify and decorate him - Hebrews 13: 24.

Crave For What He Carries: Thirst after the Grace upon the Prophet’s life. Psalms 63: 1 - 3.

Engage In a Soul Tie With The Prophet: Your heart must bond with the Prophet set over you to enjoy what he carries. Exemplified by the scriptural accounts of the bond between Elijah and Elisha on the one hand; and Moses and Joshua in 2 Kings 2: 2, 4 and 6.

Engage In a Sonship Tie With The Prophet: Proverbs 13: 22 asserts : “A good man leaves an inheritance to his children's children: and the wealth of the sinner is laid up for the just.” No servant shares in the inheritance of a family, such a privilege is reserved for children. Consequently, you must regard the Prophet over you, as father, by giving him the honour due fathers Malachi 1: 6. Malachi 4: 6.

Stay Connected For Continuous Flow: Many have been “Made” by the Grace at work in this Commission. Instructively, do not disconnect from such Grace, stay connected.
