From Chains to Mantle


What’s holding you back from stepping into your God-given purpose? Bitterness, anger, lies, and compromise—these are the chains of the old life that keep us bound. But in Christ, those chains are broken so your hands are free to pick up His mantle of calling and power.


In this message, we unpack Ephesians 4:25–31 and 2 Kings 2:1–14 to discover how to lay aside the old, break free from hidden strongholds, and step boldly into the assignment God has prepared for you.


📖 Ephesians 4:25–31

“Therefore, having put away falsehood, let each one of you speak the truth with his neighbor, for we are members one of another. Be angry and do not sin; do not let the sun go down on your anger, and give no opportunity to the devil. Let the thief no longer steal, but rather let him labor, doing honest work with his own hands, so that he may have something to share with anyone in need. Let no corrupting talk come out of your mouths, but only such as is good for building up, as fits the occasion, that it may give grace to those who hear. And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption. Let all bitterness and wrath and anger and clamor and slander be put away from you, along with all malice.”


📖 2 Kings 2:13–14

“And he took up the cloak of Elijah that had fallen from him and went back and stood on the bank of the Jordan. Then he took the cloak of Elijah that had fallen from him and struck the water, saying, ‘Where is the Lord, the God of Elijah?’ And when he had struck the water, the water was parted to the one side and to the other, and Elisha went over.”


Are you ready to drop the chains and carry the mantle? Watch now and take your next step into freedom and purpose.
