The Mantle of Elijah and Elisha
3
Statements

• Gods Word always reveals a process
• Gods process is Final and Complete and cannot be
  overridden by man
• Man Cannot receive the mantle of Elisha without
  First receiving the mantle of Elijah
• A modern day Christian man cannot pass on the
  mantle to an Elisha until he has completed his
  task as an Elijah

4
The Question is asked?

• What then is the Mantle of Elijah?

5
The Answer is the Mantle of Elijah is the
anointing to

• Call man to repentance
• Reveal the sin of compromise as deadly (Ahab
  spirit)
• Establish men as priests, prophets and kings of
  their home, church, marketplace and nation
• Establish through the home God fearing Children
• Destroy the works of Jezebel

6
Call mankind to repentance

• Matthew 32 and Matthew 417
• Luke 117 and Malachi 45-6
• Purpose is to make ready a people prepared for
  the Lord

7
Reveal the sin of compromise as deadly

• Ahabs name means like my fathers brother
• Man must be revered in the home so they can
  function properly in the home, church, market
  place and the Kingdom
• Man giving up his authority is a sin in the eyes
  of the Lord. ( Adam, Ahab, Sampson, and Solomon)

8
Establish men as priests, prophet and king

• Isaiah 312 and Judges 49
• Men are losing their authority because we are no
  longer God Fearing
• We have submitted to compromise
• And have allowed the spirit of Jezebel to rule
  over us

9
We have neglected the God given structure in the
home

• We are not producing God fearing children
• Ephesians 533 the word is Reverence which is the
  word Phopeo not the word respect
• My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge
  because without Godly wisdom there is no fear of
  God

10
Destroy the works of Jezebel

• This spirit of Jezebel is working in our homes,
  church, marketplace, nation and the Kingdom of
  God
• Malachi 45-6 and Hosea 46
• It produces the spiritual emasculation of the men
  and allows an independent spirit to be released
  in the home and rebellion in the children because
  the order is not in the home
• Wife ruling in the home, contentious and
  belittling the husband

11
Ephesians 533

• Nevertheless let every one of you in particular
  so love his wife even as himself and the wife
  see that she reverence (phobeo) her husband.
• The is the same word for the Fear of the Lord
• Word to frighten, to be alarmed, to be in awe,
  i.e. revere be afraid, fear (exceedingly)
  reverence

12
See the same Greek word

• Acts 1316 Then Paul stood up, and beckoning
  with his hand said, Men of Israel, and ye that
  fear (phobeo) God, give audience
• Act 1326 Men and brethren, children of the
  stock of Abraham, and whosoever among you feareth
  (phopeo) God, to you is the word of this
  salvation sent.

13
1 Timothy 29

• In like manner also, that women adorn themselves
  in modest apparel, with shamefacedness and
  sobriety not with broided hair, or gold, or
  pearls, or costly array
• Shamefacedness is the word aidos, through the
  idea of downcast eyes, bashfulness, i.e. towards
  men and towards God. Awe, reverence

14
1 Peter 31-6

• While they behold your chaste conversation
  coupled with fear. Whose adorning let it not be
  that outward adorning of plaiting the hair, and
  of wearing of gold, or of putting on apparel
  But let it be the hidden man of the heart, in
  that which is not corruptible, even the ornament
  of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight
  of God of great price. For after this manner in
  the old time the holy woman also, who trusted in
  God, adorned themselves.

15
Isaiah 312

• As for my people (men) children are their
  oppressors, and women rule over them. O my
  people they which lead thee cause thee to err,
  and destroy the way of the paths.
