Mantles Past and Present: What Mantles Are and How They Work

There is an emphasis in the Spirit regarding the subject of mantles in this end-time hour, and many believers in different parts of the Body of Christ are picking up on it. More and more are asking: "What is a mantle? How do they operate? Who gets a mantle, and who doesn't? Can a mantle be given away at a minister’s discretion? Can I receive a mantle?"

Throughout the Church, we hear terms such as “mantles,” “impartations,” and “anointings” used freely, yet there often seems to be little clarity on what each term means and how they differ. Thankfully, as God’s people, we have His Word to turn to for answers and the Spirit of Truth within “...who reveals the profound and hidden things...” (Dan. 2:22 NASB)!

In his book Mantles Past and Present, Roberts Liardon tackles this challenging subject, drawing on his more than 40 years of experience in ministering the Gospel, studying God’s Word, and fulfilling the divine mandate Jesus gave him as a boy to study the lives of God’s generals.

Roberts states, “...I present this book as my way to put a brick in the wall of understanding mantles. I invite others to please put their bricks on top of mine, and let’s help build a wall of understanding. That way we can all learn, and the next generations can reap the benefit — because the day of mantles has returned. It is here. Mantles are an important part of the last-day revival, and there has to come an understanding that can help move the Church forward in preparation for Jesus’ soon return!”

So buckle up! It’s time to take a journey into the world of mantles!
