The Mantle of Cyrus

The Lord is raising up His Daniels, Esthers, Ezras, and Nehemiahs within the midst of culture. We are seeing a company of consecrated ones arising within every segment of society. They have been hidden for such a time as this and they are being released into their destiny and purpose in this hour. As God releases them we will see the Cyrus anointing emerge as well.

The prophets have been speaking about a transference of wealth coming to the Church for sometime now. It is the mantle of Cyrus that releases this wealth into the hands of God's people. Cyrus was a pagan Persian king who the Lord anointed to rebuild His house. Isaiah uses a messianic term to describe Cyrus. If it was not for Cyrus we would not have seen the second temple. God is releasing His Cyruses but they will not be able to step into their calling until the Church steps into her purpose.

Before Cyrus could proclaim the rebuilding of the temple, the time to do so had to come to pass, and Ezra and Nehemiah needed to be prepared. Daniel was instrumental in paving the way for the circumstances that were required. We must position ourselves to receive the wealth that the mantle of Cyrus will release while God is stirring in their hearts. But we can't wait for the Cyruses to emerge for we must step out into our destiny before they can. We can't wait for the wealth of the world to be released before we begin those things that need that wealth.

We must exercise a gift of faith and step into what God has for us. We must step into the projects that God has called us to. As we step into our destiny God will align us with the Cyruses that He has prepared for us. There are men and women of wealth who are burning with a passion to release that wealth. Many of them do not know it yet but they are waiting for God's people to emerge. They will be filled with an excitement and they will write checks of great magnitude- above and beyond what we need. They will say things like "this is what we have been waiting for" and "the world needs projects like this to be released."

If God has called you to something then He has already prepared the provision. Many of us have had Cyruses prepared for us but fear is holding us back. We won't discover who our Cyrus is as long as we remain in fear. Fear is an attack of the enemy to keep us from destiny. God is calling us to get out of the boat, and go before the kingpins of industry. God is releasing the mantle of Cyrus on kingpins within each and every industry and segment of culture. We must not be afraid to step out and we can't be afraid to receive the wealth that has been prepared for us.

The mantle of Cyrus will release wealth with no strings attached. A prominent prophet recently told a friend of mine to not be afraid to receive government money for her ministry. I believe that this is a word for many of us. Yes, there will be some who will come and try to control through their funding. But the mantle of Cyrus is not one of control. We are going to see billions of dollars come into the Kingdom as a result of the mantle of Cyrus being released upon the earth. I see the mantle of Cyrus coming down right now! We have seen a few forerunners emerge but we will see an entire company of Cyruses arising! Let us step into what God has for us so that He might align us with the Cyruses of the world and release a provision above and beyond our needs and desires.
