The Mantle Must Go On
In this vision, God showed me that all the forefathers had almost passed away, but there were not those who ran with their revelation & mantle to continue! He said He is raising the Fathers and Generals again, but we’ve taught this generation they can have it by claiming it more than taking on the same lifestyles, belief systems, and radical nature.
I believe many of us want the blessing of Abel (generals of fathers of faith) but are only willing to give the sacrifice of Cain… which costs us nothing.
Sacrifice isn’t sacrifice until something dies. For some reason, this generation has been told they can keep Mediocre friends but have mountain-moving faith. They’ve been told they can have big faith with barely any Word time & secret place investment. They’ve been told they can have it all by almost giving none.
That’s just a fast food diet & we know what that does to our bodies.
Mantles are falling & are available…are we ready to pay the price?
Their jobs were unfinished! That means their mantle is still wanting to come on someone.
God is looking for people who are worthy to carry the Mantle of those who passed on. Moses passed, and his job wasn’t complete. I believe mantles have assignments. They are given more than just a function for someone’s lifetime. They are here to empower us to get the job done. Mantles come as directives from heaven for those whose hearts are loyal to God.
Mantles are available, but are you available?

And the Lord said to Joshua, “This day I will begin to exalt you in the sight of all Israel, that they may know that, as I was with Moses, so I will be with you. Joshua 3:7
For the eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth to show Himself strong on behalf of those whose heart is loyal to Him. In this you have done foolishly; therefore from now on you shall have wars.” 2 Chronicles 16:9
God will be with you like He was with them IF YOU are available as they were.
Here are some things He’s looking for:
1. Vision – get it, make it clear, write it out, & let it have you.
“Then the Lord answered me and said: “Write the vision And make it plain on tablets, That he may run who reads it. For the vision is yet for an appointed time; But at the end, it will speak, and it will not lie. Though it tarries, wait for it; Because it will surely come, It will not tarry.” Habakkuk 2:2-3 NKJV
“Where there is no revelation, the people cast off restraint; But happy is he who keeps the law.” Proverbs 29:18 NKJV
2. Trust/Faith – He’s looking for some folks to take His side of the story. Granted…you can have a ministry without having mountain-moving faith, but we want God building the house & not just strategies a Ted Talk analyst can give 🤯
Faith is the key that allows God to activate mantles that build a ministry.
“Unless the Lord builds the house, They labor in vain who build it; Unless the Lord guards the city, The watchman stays awake in vain.” Psalms 127:1 NKJV
3. Consecration – I’ve seen breakthroughs AFTER I consecrate myself.
Every time I take time to set myself apart, and MOSTLY, when I set my life apart completely for Him, He moved.
“And Joshua said to the people, “Sanctify yourselves, for tomorrow the Lord will do wonders among you.” Joshua 3:5 NKJV
4. Sacrifice – not sacrifice for the sake of sacrifice, but if there is no sacrifice of time, food, leisure, comforts, relationships, loyalties, coping mechanisms, accountability, etc, how can we say there was faith?
I always say there’s no sacrifice unless something dies.
Every great man of God died for something 🥹
“Esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures in Egypt; for he looked to the reward.” Hebrews 11:26 NKJV
“What does it profit, my brethren, if someone says he has faith but does not have works? Can faith save him? Thus, faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead. But do you want to know, O foolish man, that faith without works is dead?” James 2:14, 17, 20 NKJV
5. Conviction– faith opens our whole being to the availability of God’s Spirit.
Faith is the substance of things hoped for & the CONVICTION of things not seen.
I call this bringing God into the middle of everything. Then, He always has access to our feelings, emotions, and will, which can easily build narratives that eventually lead to choices to get us out of His Will for us.
I see so many believers called & trying to get to destiny, but they don’t have conviction about attitudes, secret sins, choices, indulgences, etc. But they don’t know that true faith, the faith that lasts, is built & installed by allowing His conviction to rupture any holds up the enemy on our hearts so His WAYS can be established with conviction.
Isn’t a sinner convicted??? Of his sin so HE CAN GRAB salvation. That’s what true faith does. It convicts us of the present things that aren’t eternal, so there is SPACE in our hearts to build the eternal.
I only say this because we are building to last & building to pass our mantles to disciples who need to follow us as we follow Christ.
Let’s allow the Holy Spirit to rule our hearts.
6. Perseverance – what made Moses the most humble guy in his day? I believe it was persevering when Pharoah was saying no. I believe it was getting up again when it looked like faith didn’t work & going back to God’s presence & He says, try again, seek again, knock again, heal again, prophesy again, prepare again, dig those ditches again.
I believe this process takes us out of situations so humility can be built so that when the pharaoh lets us go, it doesn’t inflate us.
The process is everything. If I were you, I would fall in love with the process so you don’t escape the character God is making that will last so other generations can also draw strength from our examples.
“that you do not become sluggish, but imitate those who through faith and patience inherit the promises.” Hebrews 6:12 NKJV
“These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off, were assured of them, embraced them, and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth. But now they desire a better, that is, a heavenly country. Therefore, God is not ashamed to be called their God, for He has prepared a city for them.”
Hebrews 11:13, 16 NKJV
Love you guys.
