• A book and e-book by Apostle T.E. Webb, available online through websites like Amazon or Barnes & Noble.

• 1 Kings 19:19

  : The prophet Elijah found Elisha plowing a field and threw his mantle (or cloak) over him. This act was a symbolic gesture, signifying God's calling of Elisha to follow Elijah and inherit his prophetic ministry.

In modern Christian teaching, the "Mantle of Faith" is not a physical cloak like the one worn by Elijah, but a spiritual covering. 

• A "Heavenly Coat" of Authority: It is described as a spiritual identification that equips a person with specific grace, authority, or a "mandate" to fulfill a divine purpose.

The Bible explicitly states that "faith comes from hearing... through the word of Christ" (Romans 10:17). 

In 2025, the "mantle" in the context of an Apostle or the Five-Fold Ministry is defined as the spiritual authority, calling, and divine enablement given by God to a leader to fulfill a specific role within the Church

The overarching goal of these mantles is not personal status, but to equip the saints for their own works of service until the Church reaches "the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ" (Ephesians 4:11-13).
