You understanding of the prophetic mantle will make you handle it with care and it will work in your hands...
2 Kings 4:29-31, Elisha sends his servant Gehazi with his staff to revive the Shunammite woman's dead son, but the staff does not work in Gehazi's hands because he lacks faith or proper spiritual standing. The Bible says, "there was neither voice, nor hearing" (2 Kings 4:31 KJV), and the child did not wake until Elisha himself came.
Acts 19:11-12 (Paul’s Handkerchiefs/Aprons): "Now God worked unusual miracles by the hands of Paul, so that even handkerchiefs or aprons were brought from his body to the sick, and the diseases left them and the evil spirits went out of them" (NKJV).
Matthew 14:36 (The Fringe of Jesus' Cloak): While not technically called a "mantle," people in Gennesaret "begged Him that they might only touch the hem of His garment. And as many as touched it were made perfectly well".
Acts 5:15 (Peter’s Shadow): People brought the sick into the streets "so that at least Peter's shadow might fall on some of them as he passed by".

Key Aspects of the "Mantle" in the New Testament:
A Symbol of Anointing: Similar to how Elisha took up Elijah's mantle (2 Kings 2:13-14), these New Testament acts symbolize the authority of the Holy Spirit acting through the apostles.
Conductor of Power: The mantle is viewed not as a magic wand, but as a conductor of the power of God to those who reach out in faith.
Transfer of Grace: The garments/aprons served as a medium for transferring the grace of God at work upon the apostle to the people in need.
