"Elijah's Mantle - Who Will Pick Up Elijah's Mantle"

Who will pick up the mantle..

My mind goes to Dec. Sanders, he has been on the battlefield for a long time. So many times when its time for the offering I see Dec. Sanders struggle to get up, his knees aren’t what they use to be, his hands shake because he is getting older in age. He has been wearing the mantle but its now time for a younger person to pick up the mantle and take it to the next level.

WATCH THIS: - A NEW THING – Sometimes the younger generation my not want to pick up the mantle on their own they have become comfortable relying on the older ones to do. They say well they have always done it so let them continue on they are in a comfort zone to put it nicely, but in reality they are stuck in a rut. So what now needs to happed is they need someone that understands the whole vision and chooses out someone and places the mantle on them in order that continual prayer and ministry of the word will not be effected. Now someone may say you can’t do that – WELL WRONG – NEW THING tradition and fear of man says you can’t do that, but I find in the Bible in Acts 6 the apostles said choose out 7 men that we may appoint them. That word appoint means to designate, to order or decree, to ordain. That we may appoint them over these matters so we can continue in prayer and ministry, they understood the whole vision and in order to get results process had to come together and this was part of the process.

WATCH THIS:- __________ come here Dec. Sanders has run this race for a long time, he knows the way, but his strength is not what it use to be, its time for the next generation to take what Dec. Sanders has done to another level. So as an Elder that understands and is looking at the big picture I need you to help with his mantle. You may be scared, you may feel as though you don’t understand it yet, but there is wisdom and if you do as Elisha and stay by his side he will teach you what you need to know. Now understand that I am here for you, I got your back, I will help any way I can, but as an elder here I’m part of another process I can’t leave my Elijah.

In closing I just want to ask the question “Who will pick up Elijah’s mantle”.
