Dismantling Mantles

Mantle Seeking? 01
Did you know that when the 120 gathered 
at the upper room, they were not asking for 
"Jesus' Mantle".
Neither did Jesus promise anyone His "mantle".
All He promised them was The Holy Spirit.
And He assured them that with The Holy Spirit 
living inside them, they would do even greater 
works than He did.
This "mantle seeking" concept is strange to 
the New Testament.
I am not a "mantle seeker".
I am conscious of my divine union with Christ.
1 Corinthians 6:17.
If the Apostles didn't seek for "Jesus' Mantle", 
but only waited to be filled with The Holy Spirit.
Now that I am ALREADY filled with 
The Same Holy Spirit,tell me why should I be 
seeking for someone's "mantle"?
I pray that the Believers will truly know 
who the New Creation Man, filled with 
The Holy Spirit is.
Sweet Holy Spirit, continue to reveal Christ 
to us, because the more we know Him, the 
more we know ourselves.
As He is, so are we.
1 Corinthians 6:17.
Galatians 3:27.
Let me show you what Paul knew that 
made him not to seek for anybody's "mantle".
He had the understanding that the same 
Holy Spirit that worked mightily in Jesus, 
was the One who was working mightily 
through the Apostles, and that the same 
Holy Spirit could also work mightily through 
him.
Listen to what he said:
...HE THAT WROUGHT EFFECTUALLY 
IN PETER....., THE SAME WAS MIGHTY IN ME....
Galatians 2:8.
The day you have the understanding that He 
that worked mightily through these Heroes Of 
Faith is the same Holy Spirit in you, your 
mantle seeking exercise will end.

Tommy Hicks etc
None of the people mentioned above ever 
sought for someone's "mantle".
What they did was that they received The 
Holy Spirit and maintained a constant 
communion with Him.
Read their stories, you will never read of any 
account where they sought for "mantles".
Today,many Believers are seeking their "mantles", 
and some are already claiming that they have 
received so and so "mantle".
The only thing that consumed the apostles was 
to know Christ and to know The Person Of 
The Holy Spirit intimately.
They never sought nor prayed for anyone's 
"mantle".
Now that they are gone, people are seeking 
their "mantles".
Get understanding of your identity, inheritance 
and abilities in Christ.
Understanding your divine union with Christ 
will usher you into supernatural adventures.
1 Corinthians 6:17.
Galatians 3:27.
Colossians 1:9-11,26-27.
Colossians 2:3,9-10.
Five Prophets, Five Contradictory Visions.
FIRST PROPHET:
"I went to heaven and I saw Jesus.
He (Jesus) took me to a very beautiful HOUSE 
in heaven where "mantles" are kept.
I saw many mantles,I saw that of Smith 
Wigglesworth, Kathryn Khulman, John G.Lake
They looked so beautiful and glittering. 
Jesus told me that the time has come for 
these mantles to be released into the earth."
SECOND PROPHET:
"Jesus appeared to me in a vision, took me to 
a VALLEY full of mantles, they looked like 
animal skin and they are not beautiful nor 
\attractive.
I saw Kathryn Khulman,Smith Wigglesworth,
etc mantles.
Jesus then told me that the time has come 
for our generation to claim these mantles."
Third Prophet:
"Jesus once appeared to me and told me that, 
"There's no mantle in heaven, when a man or 
woman of God dies, their mantles remain in 
the earth to be picked up by someone else."
FOURTH PROPHET:
"God told me in a vision to travel to South Africa 
for John G.Lake's mantle,that his mantle is still 
available in South Africa.
So, I went to South Africa and picked up 
John G.Lake's mantle."
FIFTH PROPHET:
"I went to Spokane to get John G.Lake's mantle, 
because Jesus told me in a vision that John G. Lake '
mantle was lying dormant in Spokane."
Isn't it funny, that "Jesus" told five people, five 
different things about where "mantles" are?
You must learn to judge visions and revelations 
in line with the finished work of Christ, and the 
New Creation Realities, so that you will not end 
up with deception and error.
Mantle seeking is not consistent with 
The New Creation!
Question:
Which "Jesus" appeared to these prophets?
Some desperate "mantle seekers" have 
traveled to the grave sites of some of 
Heroes of Faith, for the purpose of 
"receiving their mantles".
A Pastor told me that there's a particular 
mountain here in Nigeria,where people 
queue to wear one of Joseph Babalola's clothes.
Why?
They want to receive Babalola's "mantle".
The day you know who a New Creation is 
and what it means to be One Spirit with Christ, 
you will stop being religious
The "mantle seekers" need to meditate more on 
the following scriptures:
John 14:12,16-18,23.
Acts 1:8
1 Corinthians 6:17.
Galatians 3:27.
Colossians 1:26-27.
Colossians 2:3,9-10.
