Spiritual Mantles: Part 2

-

I wrote a post several weeks ago on our Spiritual Mantles. I would encourage you to read part 1 of that post:


https://standingstronginhisgrace.blogspot.com/2020/08/spiritual-mantles-part-one.html


I believe that the Holy Spirit just revealed to me about my own mantle....That spiritual covering I have experienced in His Presence is the grace of GOD. 

I have read a lot of readings about our spiritual mantles and that we carry on the mantles of our spiritual mentors. I have looked to GOD my Father through His Holy Spirit. I have not really had a mentor in the faith. Yet the Holy Spirit has been my teacher...rightly so...the way it should be!!!

I do believe I have been called to be a prophet of His grace by proclaiming the grace of God through my writings right now and who knows the future work of the call that He may have me to do. I humbly submit to GOD and allow His Holy Spirit to give me the words to write for the glory of Jesus Christ!! 

What about you? Have you felt the unction of your function in the body of Christ?  Have you felt the literal cloak or mantle being put upon you?  There are a lot of Christian teachings on the internet. I pray you be wise as a serpent and innocent as a dove as you glean what ministry GOD has called you into In Jesus name!!!


This is also a very good site that has very good writings on spiritual mantles. I hope you spend this time in seeking out your own mantle!!!

    Oh Richard, When we first met 7 years ago I really saw purpose in my life. Now, and for the last severeral years actually I feel "mantle less" (if there is such a word); my physical body is so weak that I don't see how I can be any good to anybody except for to pray for them and on some days it is all I can do to do that.
    I do have a special friend in Oregon who lives in the assisted living facility where I used to live. She calls me her best friend and I have felt led to send her gifts (she loves to read) so I have mainly sent her Christian novels from Christian Book Distributors by this one author whom she has grown to love but this last month I sent her peanut butter and chocolate layered fudge for she loves sweets and it is her Birthday month.
    I don't really think I have a mantle unless it would be that of an intercessor however, that might have passed me by some years ago as my body and mind just became too weary.
    I also like to be there for Matt but know that I fail in thatt area in so many ways.
    I am so thankful for your sharing your writings concrening your relationship with God the Father; our Lord Jesus Christ along with the personalization of the Holy Spirit as He has worked in your life.
    I am wondering if everyone in the Bible and every Christian now has a mantle or if it is just for those who have the gift of prophecy. I used to think I had that gift. I did (many years ago now) receive two prophecies (individual words) that I felt were from God however it was also at a time when my medicataion was lowered so I do not know if it was Mania or the Lord.
    Matt and I have found out that we both have to be very careful of calling something "as from the Lord" when it might just be our own chemical imbalances.
    I will say that God knows our hearts and uses All for good.
    Please pray for my stamina -- I would so appreciate that.
    Blessings of our Father in heaven always Richard, Lish

      Dear Lisha, i think its a process for all of us. I think the flesh gets in the way of God's anointing flow. But in His Spirit grace flows freely. I do believe in different seasons different gifts manifests. Just like with your friend in Oregon or when your prayer ascend to God's throne...God works behind the scenes on what we pray. I believe His moves tend to manifests through the prayers we pray. I read that in the new Testament the Holy Spirit can be that mantle upon us comforting and assuring us that HE is there for us. I Pray that our Father in Heaven speaks to you through His Holy Spirit, and that HE breathes heavenly oxygen into your body. I speak clarity to your mind and healing to your body in Jesus most Holy name!!! Don't give up, you may not see GOD moving but he is working things out for the good through your heartfelt prayers and giving of gifts. and don't forget the greatest gift we all can give is our friendship. Love you my dear sister and friend.

It’s not that Complicated

  There is nothing complicated about hell…in fact it is very easy to get there.    I can assure you it’s not one big party with lots of rock music and sex.  Who would want to actually feel hells torment without any grace, mercy or relief. I do not know about you but I do not wish to go there If you intend to take the easy street then by all means be prepared for continual weeping and gnashing of teeth and the torment of eternal fiery punishment. Hell is not a complicated choice!!  Who would want to go there?  I would never desire to go there willingly.   Jesus came to this earth he hung on that cross as a human being   He was God in the flesh. There is not  a whole lot of preaching these days about going hell…we need to hear more fiery sermons from pulpits on Sunday mornings!!! Unrepentant sinners.will all go to hell.  It’s high time we repented of all our sins, and ask God to forgive you of all sin. Sin is sin and Jesus desires us to be in the kingdom of heaven with him for all eterni

Someday

FiveMinuteFriday One day the time will come when we breathe our last breath and close our eyes one last time...There is nothing we can do to stop that.  It is just one fact of life we all have to deal with. Death is inevitable, it will happen we can be sure of that. We cannot avoid it. Someday that door will open, and we will close the door to this life we now live... Are you ready for that "someday?"  The fact is that we are not guaranteed tomorrow. we should at all costs live each day as if it was our last day. If you knew beyond a shadow of a doubt that tomorrow was your last day to live on this earth, how would you do things differently or would you be content with the life you have lived up until this point?   As for me, I have always had a belief that there is a heaven and a hell.  I had a born-again experience at the age of eighteen.   It was after a very convicting church service. I had grown up in that church and was going through all the motions; but something signi

Not in a Hurry

A flower does not get in a hurry.  It takes its time to grow and bloom in beautiful and intrinsic ways. Just like us as believers we do not instantly bloom.  We  may start as a seed.  We want to be in such a hurry but it takes grace to be patient….and trust too.  It takes time and space to grow. Lots of tender loving care.   We shouldn’t worry about blooming for our time will come without one worry how we will turn out … Dear Jesus,  help me I pray to not be in a hurry or to compare my heart to to anyone else for in due time we will flourish and bloom like the red rose 🌹 on a sunny spring day…Amen.
