A Vision of
the Mantles
By Chad Taylor
(In an intense moment of worship I had the following vision. It has
reoccurred many times since its original manifestation. I offer it
now as a means of moving us all into a place of greater power and
glory. Openly, publicly, displaying His glory to the world as in
times of renown. I believe this represents a distinct season of
revival and reformation about to be presented to the world in
profound proportions and impact. Many past movements and revivals
are consummating into one river, flooding the land with His power and
passion. With this expectation I release the following vision. Chad
Taylor).
I saw as it were a great parade route. An innumerable company of
saints proceeding down this way. Down this road. On each side of
this procession the crowd of onlookers pressed in on each side,
reaching out as if to touch those coming by. The road was paved with
gold, and the light at the end was brilliant like the sun. You could
hear the voices of praise as this great company of the living walked
this road of glory.
Suddenly the faces of those that were pressing in on each side could
be seen. William and Katherine Booth, Kathryn Kuhlman, A.A. Allen,
John G. Lake, Charles Finney, Maria Woodworth-Etter, some well know,
others unknown. They pressed and pushed to get close enough to touch
those still living and passing by. These that had already ran their
race reached out to touch those that were now passing through. Then
I heard the Lord say,
"I am taking My church to the Mt. of Transfiguration to show them a
greater glory of who I am. Like Peter, James, and John, they will
enter the cloud and they will see Me in My fullness and
majesty. 'the Kingdom of God present with power.' (Mk. 9:1). They
will come out the other side transfigured themselves. They not only
saw Me in My glory, but they also saw Elijah and Moses 'and behold,
two men talked with Him, who were Moses and Elijah, who appeared in
glory...' (Lk. 9:30-31). "
"Now in this time I am opening the graves of those that I once shook
the earth with, and these mantles will rest on the shoulders of men
and women again. Even children shall walk in a glory that only
seasoned veterans of the faith had once walked in. The earth will
see these signs and wonders again, but now in a greater magnitude and
frequency. It will be a common occurrence to see and hear the
miracles that they did. These old mantles are now going to be
released to this chosen generations. Mantles of kings and priests
will rest on the shoulders of this generation. They will do more
than all these other ever saw or did. They will usher in the
fullness of the ages, the end of world."
As the Lord spoke this, I saw those old saints on each side suddenly
begin to throw off their mantles and coats on those passing by! As
each one cast off their mantles they cried out, " Cross over! Cross
over! Come to the other side! Come into the promise land! Enter
into the cloud! Climb the mountain! Come up higher! Higher!
Higher!"
Each one was now casting their mantles on the individuals that passed
by. Some even caught two and three mantles! The faces of the those
on each side were beaming with excitement as we received the mantles
and the callings they were so freely giving away. Then I heard one
say, "We have freely received these things, now we freely give them
away to this chosen generation..."
I saw the faces of the heroes of the faith that had passed on
centuries ago. The attire that they wore in this vision gave
reference to what era or time they were from. Each one cast their
mantles on those that were now passing by, the ones who were now
living upon the earth. Each one as they received these gifts and
callings, were really only beginning to fulfill what the Lord had
already intended for them to do. "To cast out demons, heal the sick,
raise the dead, and cleanse the lepers." The world was seeing the
face of the resurrected Christ through the faces of His people.
I then heard the Lord say, "Now is the time for public demonstration
of My glory and power. Now is the time for the open air meetings and
My glory demonstrated in the marketplaces. Now is the time for the
world to stand in awe of Me. Now is the time the Church will cross
over and begin to do exploits. Now is the time for all of these
things says the Lord. That I will do wonders amongst you. I will
prove Myself and reveal Myself to a gainsaying and rebellious
people. Because I am longsuffering, not willing that any perish, but
that all come to repentance. These are those days says the Lord."
The Church had been transfigured into a glorious expression of the
Father's heart. Each one doing what they were destined to do.
Moving about the earth seeing whole nations turn to the word's of the
Lord uttered through human lips. This great cloud of witnesses
cheered the crowds as they passed by. Their numbers growing as the
Lord "added to the church daily such as should be saved." Fear was
upon the church again as, "believers were increasingly added to the
Lord, multitudes of both men and women, so that they brought the sick
out into the streets and laid them on beds and couches, that at least
the shadow of Peter passing by might fall on some of them..." (Acts
5:14-16).
