The Mantle was a covering that represented a calling to service, protection, sanctification and covenant relationship with God. The word "Mantle" translates to mean "Glorious", "Powerful", "Noble" and "Worthy".
According to Jewish tradition, the mantle of Elijah was placed in a small chamber in the golden altar. Hundreds of years later, Zacharias removed the garment and kept it for the ministry of his son, John the Baptist. When John appeared, many believed he was Elijah, perhaps due to this special mantle.
John operated in the "spirit and power of Elijah" (Luke 1:17). He was the forerunner to the appearance of Jesus Christ (Mark 1:2-3). In some way, the spiritual mantle of Elijah rested upon John during his ministry.
We are told that Elijah the prophet will appear in the future to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children (Malachi 4:5). Yet, just as John the Baptist carried a special anointing upon his life, we believe God will raise up a team of men who carry the boldness and vision for ministry that both Elijah and John carried in their generation!
In anticipation of fulfilling God’s destiny in our lives, we are pleased to announce this special men’s Ministry called Elijah’s Mantle. The mission of Elijah’s Mantle is to link men together to:
Elijah was a leader. As a man of God you are called to be a leader. Elijah was bold and uncompromising. You are called to be bold and uncompromising. Elijah carried a special prayer anointing. As one of God’s end time men, you are destined to carry a special anointing.
Just as Elijah and John prepared a way and "made ready a people for the Lord" (Luke 1:17), God is raising up men to help prepare the people for the return of the Lord Jesus Christ!
