He also took up the mantle of Elijah that had fallen from him, and went back and stood by the bank of the Jordan. 14 Then he took the mantle of Elijah that had fallen from him, and struck the water, and said, "Where [is] the LORD God of Elijah?" And when he also had struck the water, it was divided this way and that; and Elisha crossed over.
2nd Kings 2:13-14 (NKJV)
I am the salt of the earth. I am the light of this world. Jesus said it so I believe it. I am a carrier of the Glory of God. Today, I will experience the extreme goodness of God. Today, I make myself available for God to show His goodness to others through me. Today, I am increasing in influence. Today, I will see the goodness of God in my life! Today, something good is going to happen to me so I expect miracles.
Good Morning,
In the tapestry of Christian faith, there are threads of divine power that weave through generations, connecting the past to the present and future. These threads, known as mantles, are more than mere spiritual concepts – they are tangible manifestations of God's power, passed down through time to equip believers for extraordinary works.
Mantles are often misunderstood or conflated with other spiritual gifts. Unlike anointings, which come upon a person, or impartations, which are received internally, a mantle is an all-encompassing cloak of spiritual authority. It's a fusion of anointings, impartations, giftings, and divine strategies that God bestows upon individuals for specific purposes.
This week in our devotional podcast, Dr. Roberts Liardon and I discuss mantles and more to help you grasp a deeper understanding of the power that God has made available for your life. Dr. Liardon is the author of over 100 books including the best selling God’s Generals series. For the last several months, Dr. Liardon and I would meet up for coffee or lunch and discuss these wonderful spiritual truths. I want to invite you into one of our conversations that will intrigue and inspire you.

I’ve been sharing quick takeaways about rest in reels on social media. In these reels, I share how rest is important and why your mentality has to change concerning rest.

Pray this prayer with me today, “Father, thank you for loving me. You love me so much that you sent the Holy Spirit to live within me. As we learn about mantles this week, I ask that you grant me insight and help to walk in greater dimensions of your anointing and power. I thank you for all of these things and I receive them. In Jesus’ name. Amen.”
