Isa 64:1a. Oh, that You would rend the heavens! That You would come down!
Heb 10:5-7
Therefore, when He came into the world, He said:
"Sacrifice and offering You did not desire, but a body You have prepared for Me.
6 In burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin You had no pleasure. 7 Then I said, 'Behold,
I have come – in the volume of the book it is written of Me – To do Your will, O God.'"
Whenever God wants to accomplish something in the earth, He chooses a people to operates through
Why doesn’t He do it Himself?
Gen 1:26. Then God said, "Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth."
Adam disobeyed God, ‘the earth came under the dominion of darkness’ – Col 1:13
Luke 4:5-7
Then the devil, taking Him up on a high mountain, showed Him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time. 6 And the devil said to Him, "All this authority I will give You, and their glory; for this has been delivered to me, and I give it to whomever I wish. 7 Therefore, if You will worship before me, all will be Yours."
1st Adam gave Satan that authority, & 2nd Adam had to take it back
2nd Adam had to come from the adama (ground)
God needed a body to enter the earth: “A body You have prepared for Me”
Matt 1:23. "Behold, the virgin shall be with child, and bear a Son, and they shall call His name Immanuel," which is translated, "God with us."
Jesus came, and through His blood, took back the authority from Satan
Jesus got ready to leave, so God needed another body
You shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you. – Acts 1:8
We are the ones who release God in the earth, or we limit God in the earth
Eph 3:20. Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us.
That’s why we are supposed to pray...
Your kingdom come. Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven
Matt 16:19. And I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and
whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and
whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven."
We don’t have to pray that God will “rend the heavens and come down”
We are operating under an open heaven
Matt 3:16 – When Jesus was baptized, the heavens opened and the Spirit descended
God is looking for a Body
Heb 10:5 A body You have prepared for Me.
7 'Behold, I have come to do Your will, O God.'
Will you make yourself available?
Present your bodies a living sacrifice – Rom 12:1
Phil 1:20. Christ will be magnified in my body
Pray to know the power
Eph 1:15-21
Therefore I also, after I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all the saints, 16 do not cease to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers: 17 that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him, 18 the eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that you may know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints, 19 and what is the exceeding greatness of His power toward us who believe, according to the working of His mighty power 20 which He worked in Christ when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly places, 21 far above all principality and power and might and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this age but also in that which is to come.
