Over the past few weeks, the Holy Spirit has been speaking to me of His Mantle, His Covering for His people. I believe this is a significant time for us, and a time that is especially important to be listening and responding as God pours out His Spirit!

This is the word of the Lord.

The Mantle I speak of is to be spread over all My territories in My name. A cloak – a covering for My people who speak My name and as a sign to those who reject Me- that herein lies true protection – under the cover of the name of GOD- the only True and Living One- who spared Isaac and lives in the hearts of men through time and across all barriers of the earth. There is none other!

So, take up this mantle and spread it – over others- across towns and borders and into nations- My very heart covering over My people everywhere.

A mantle is all you need it to be! A DISGUISE to protect you in dangerous places or a BOLD PROCLAMATION of His MAJESTY, the KING of all the EARTH and everything in between!

To cover and hide you for you to be spared, and to heal you,

For you to continue forward- to propel you into other nations!

To encourage you when you are weak or afraid,

To blind the enemy to your whereabouts

or to shout to the world with a ROBE of RIGHTEOUSNESS!

ALL OF THIS is YOURS to carry- to spread – to cover you- to share with all.

For My name’s sake, I will do it and for My people’s sake, it will be MY doing that rescues and saves!

Even beyond imagination, I HURRY to rescue My people in despair.

Begging this KING will NOT do!

Come to Me KNOWING Me well enough to know that I desire you near. I desire you to heal and be healed! I desire your comfort and not your desperation.

Come to Me in good confidence, bearing only the gifts of trust and praise for My goodness to you and all who would approach this throne of complete GRACE!

Hurdles may stand in your way and obstacles may loom ahead to intimidate you on your course, but let your focus, indeed, be on the prize of My Love for you- already won and winning others through you- our race is to be run with endurance – with the HOPE of knowing Me more!

“Come boldly to the throne of Grace to obtain mercy and grace in your time of need.” ~ Hebrews 4:16

“And I do all things for the sake of the gospel, that I may become a fellow partaker of it. Do you not know that those who run in a race all run, but only one receives the prize? Run in such a way that you may win.” ~1 Corinthians 9:23-24
