There are so many out there chasing after other people’s anointings and ministries right now that I have completely lost track. Some are wanting to have a mantle like Kathryn Kuhlman, or Bob Jones, or even someone as radical as Kim Clement. If you don’t know those names, there are many other ones you are probably familiar with.
However, what I want to declare to you this morning is, TO NOT CHASE ANOTHER’S ANOINTING OR MANTLE FOR YOUR OWN LIFE. God is Tailoring your MANTLE and your ANOINTING for your life to fit only you specifically. Much like Joseph’s coat of many colors was designed by his father only for him (his brothers were jealous of it, but never wore it) and it probably wouldn’t fit any of his siblings quite right anyway.
Anyone who has ever had the experience of trying on a wedding dress or a tuxedo has had this experience. Most of the time these garments need to be personalized and adjusted to fit You specifically, it’s not just one size fits all obviously, and while the ministry and anointing God has for your life may resemble someone else’s, it will be distinctly different in other areas because each one of us is fearfully and wonderfully different than each other.
God is designing the parameters of your life daily by the Holy Spirit, taking up the slack in some areas and letting things go in others. Though you may not understand the process that’s happening at the time, these adjustments are crucial to a proper fit for your life.
The colors, the parameters, and the adjustments He’s making will give you influence and abilities in your life that others will not possess, and for each of you, the garments will look different.
Different adjustments and hemming of those mantles to be able to handle the roads ahead that His course for your life to take. As you go your equipment and your gear will be altered (tailored) by Him as He adjusts the course of your journey.
SAUL’S ARMOR WOULDN’T FIT DAVID ANY MORE THAN SOMEONE ELSE’S MANTLE WILL FIT YOU. DON’T SHORT-CHANGE YOURSELF BY RECEIVING OR CHASING ANYTHING OTHER THAN GOD’S TAILORED MANTLE SPECIFICALLY DESIGNED FOR YOUR LIFE!
It’s going to be far better for you than anything else you could obtain from anyone else or anywhere else!
Better to be cloaked in Humility and filled with God’s Power, than cloaked with Pride and filled with nothing!
