What is Grave Sucking Youth Apologetics Training. Can the Word of Faith hyper charismatic crowd get any more bizarre What is with this new occult sounding practice often referred to as grave sucking When I first heard of grave sucking I assumed it must be a joke.   Surely no one would buy into something so silly.   Well my friends, this is for real.   Grave sucking or mantle grabbing is the belief and practice of pulling the supposed Holy Spirit powers from the dead bones of a previously empowered believer.   It is taught that when a Spirit empowered individual dies their mantle or mission dies with them.   In other words Gods mission for that believer was thwarted when that believer died. There are anointings, mantles, revelations and mysteries that have lain unclaimed, literally where they were left because the generation that walked in them never passed them on. I believe its possible for us to recover realms of anointing, realms of insight, realms of God that have been untended for decades simply by choosing to reclaim them and perpetuate them for future generations.

Maybe that believer had a gift of healing.   Maybe they were an apostle, prophet or evangelist.   This of course assumes that they were actually empowered in these ways which I have serious doubts.   Whatever the case, now Gods plans for that particular anointing are placed on hold.   How does God correct this and get his plans back on track Grave sucking explained. We as believers must find a way to retrieve the mantle or anointing from the rotting corpse six feet under.   Only then can we get Gods plans back on track.   This is achieved by placing our hands on the gravestone of the deceased or lying on top of the grave.   Sometimes a prayer will be offered to God to aid in this perceived power transfer. I kid you not  Some people actually believe this.   Gods plan has in fact been frustrated and now God needs us to seek out His lost anointing so we can bail God and His plans out. They believe that by laying there on the grave they will be able to pull the anointing from the dead.   Its as if they believe the Holy Spirit is lost and doesnt seem to realize that the person they empowered is dead and is no longer able to minister in this empowered way.   Suddenly the Holy Spirit senses someone is lying on the dirt six feet above His head.   The Holy Spirit, apparently not caring who is laying up there decides to jump into the new body giving them the supernatural abilities that the dearly departed once had.   Again this assumes that the person in the grave was in fact empowered by the Holy Spirit.

Are you all hearing me Benny Hinn. Grave Sucking or Mantle Grabbing is the Fast Track to Spiritual Power. For many who subscribe to hyper charismatic type beliefs, it is thought that a person must spend much time and effort trying to achieved a state of Holy Spirit empowerment.   This is achieved by extensive prayer, worship, contemplative prayer, soaking, fasting and much more.   Mantle grabbinggrave sucking is seen as the workaround to achieving fast Holy Spirit empowerment. An inheritance in the natural can be anything a person values enough to leave to the next generation. It usually is either property or money and represents years and years of another persons effort. If you receive an inheritance when youre younger, say as a young, newly married adult, that inheritance can financially jump start your ability to have things that otherwise would have taken you years to attain. You might be able to buy a house, or live in a part of town only people higher up the corporate ladder can afford. You might be able to pay for your college education or buy a nice car. An inheritance allows you to start out ahead of where you would have been without it. With an inheritance, you receive for free what others worked to obtain. A spiritual inheritance works the same way. It enables us to start our Christian life at spiritual levels that might normally have taken us years to reach. Another generations ceiling in God can become our spiritual floor. Cal PierceLord, if a dead man can be thrown on the bones of Elisha and be healed, then Im asking for the anointing that is on these bones of John G. Lake. Cal Pierce. Does the Bible Support Grave Sucking First it must be stated that there is not a single scripture in the Bible that clearly describes grave sucking.   Are there any scriptures that seem to teach the concept of grave sucking  There is only one.   Thats right.   The only scripture that even remotely comes near this subject is in 2 Kings.   It gives an account of a man coming alive after touching Elishas dead bones. Kings 1. 3 2. 1  And it came to pass, as they were burying a man, that, behold, they spied a band of men and they cast the man into the sepulchre of Elisha and when the man was let down, and touched the bones of Elisha, he revived, and stood up on his feet. Lets look at this soberly.   Did this man who came to life receive Elishas mantle  No  Did he take up Elishas ministry and become a prophet of God  No.   Did he receive any kind of Holy Spirit empowerment  No.   The man received his life back and thats it.    Why did this happen  Some supporters of grave sucking suggest that its because there was power left in the bones of the prophet Elisha.    That is simply not true.   The Holy Spirit does not hang out with rotting corpses.   Elisha had prophesied before he died, about King Josiahs victory over Syria 2 Kings 1. God was putting His divine stamp of approval on Elishas last prophecy.   In other words, God was saying that it would come to pass. God Decides Whom He Empowers. Our God is a sovereign God.   God is not one that we can manipulate. Co 1. 2 1. 1  But all these worketh that one and the selfsame Spirit, dividing to every man severally as he will. James 1 1. 7  Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning. God Wants Us to Seek Him. Why would anyone want to seek a corpse for Gods blessing  Does not God want us to seek only Him Isaiah 8 1. 9  And when they shall say unto you, Seek unto them that have familiar spirits, and unto wizards that peep, and that mutter should not a people seek unto their God Grave Sites Were Considered Unclean. The Old Testament is pretty clear that visiting grave sites would make a person unclean.   Why would God suddenly encourage believers to seek the Holy Spirit in an area that is considered unclean  Grave sucking is against Gods character. Numbers 1. 9 1. 6  And whosoever toucheth one that is slain with a sword in the open fields, or a dead body, or a bone of a man, or a grave, shall be unclean seven days. Home Peanuts. Cookie Policy.
