The prayers of the saints who have gone on to the Lord will have impact in the generations to come. They left seed for bearing fruit. As Elijah entered heaven he cast his mantle down. How many today are casting a mantle down?
Many times for religiosity and religious correctness we ignore what is going on in the Spirit realm when a minister goes to the Lord. God is calling a generation, but it is often the few, the remnant, who have been prepared in the hardest of situations that catch what the spirit realm is doing.
Elijah's translation to heaven was a major shift. The year of the whirlwind is upon us, and there are going to be shifts. The prophetic company can be chattering away, even prophesying the shifts. But it is he who sees and takes hold of the mantle that will have the authority to reproduce the works, to bring shifts in kings and governments.
Recognizing Shifts
Revivals passed caused shifts, and today is no different. The past revivals are those where mantles were thrown down, but stayed down on the ground...because the move of the Spirit had waned and people were distracted. We can be distracted by anything apparently spiritual...the trend...the music...the message...but if you have not spent time on the mountain, alone...you will never see the mantle floating down.
The challenge of the hour is to recognize.
James Goll had published his dream yesterday in which he saw John Wimber praying in a auditorium...it is puzzling to see how a saint who has gone on to glory can impact today...but even Elisha's bones raised up a man...so our legacy can revive the souls of a generation.
I see that the moves that have characterized the last 40 years will bring forth a generation radical in holiness, teachable in spirit, and firey in ministry.
Let us recognize the descending mantle.

Revelation 1 gives us an insight into this reality. When you consider the persecutions of the first apostles you see that what is happening today is not so developed in a concerted effort to persecute the Church, I think we are on the threshold of an end time persecution which shall fill the "cup of iniquity" of the whole world. This shall be pivotal for the end. This series which I started just after the new year has the motivation of preparing the saints for what is coming. What is coming can only be walked through when we are duly prepared in the Word and the Spirit.

Art thou he that should come, or do we look for another? Matthew 11:2 This chapter is so interesting when you examine the processes that John the Baptist was going through in prison, when he sent messengers to Jesus. This question in the title of this message means something has changed with John in his perception of Jesus, and his expectation of the Messiah. When you research how John recognizes Jesus, as the Messiah you have to go to John 1, to see what God said and revealed to him in the wilderness.

The voice of him that crieth in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make straight in the desert a highway for our God. Isaiah 40:3 KJV The call of John into the wilderness is a demarcation in forsaking family duty, what is expected and what the Law determines. John is the son of a priest. As sons, it is predetermined that they follow the course. The Scripture in Isaiah 40 represents some unheard of movement of the Lord. It represents an apparent break with conformity for the objective of bringing about the greatest prophetic task ever undertaken until Jesus.
