As a people who operate in the prophetic realm, we are often drawn to the biblical account of Elijah and the prophetic mantle. Elijah’s mantle was not just a cloak he wore to protect him from the seasons, but it also represented his anointing and appointment as a prophet of God. When he passed on his mantle to Elisha, it was also a prophetic act of passing on the mantle to his successor (1 Kgs. 19:19). As I’ve mentioned before, the mantle is simply a bible metaphor for calling or anointing, or even an office, given to the individuals God chose.

There was nothing magical about Elijah’s cloak and you must not go around looking for magic cloaks in thrift stores hoping to find the cloak Elijah used to own. The power is sourced from the Holy Spirit, not the piece of fabric.If you think God is calling you to receive a prophetic mantle, here is a pattern by which people have been able to do so. Remember, there is no fixed formula with how God operates, but these are at least biblical models you can refer to from the lives of Joseph and Elisha.
