A few days ago, the Lord showed me a mantle. And He reminded me that His calling on my life is not confusion or doubt, but to walk into His purposes and promises.
He also took up the mantle of Elijah that fell from him and returned and stood by the bank of the Jordan. He took the mantle of Elijah that fell from him and struck the waters and said, "Where is the LORD, the God of Elijah?" And when he also had struck the waters, they were divided here and there; and Elisha crossed over. 2 Kings 2:13-14
Mantles represent our spiritual authority--the measure of Christ in us that does the works. It's time to remember His hope! It's time to remember His calling. It's time to remember what it's like to be called.
Therefore I, the prisoner of the Lord, implore you to walk in a manner worthy of the calling with which you have been called, with all humility and gentleness, with patience, showing tolerance for one another in love... Ephesians 4:1-2
It takes the power of the Holy Spirit to walk into our calling. It takes the fullness of the Spirit to accomplish God's will. And it takes life in the Spirit to bear good fruit--humility, gentleness, love--to show ourselves worthy. We need to remember that God saved us so that we could be firstfruits.
We need to know that God's will is not unrest or anxiety. His will is assurance! God wants us to feel empowered, to be empowered, and to live empowered. He wants us to remember our spiritual identity and authority in Him.
