Ryan Wyatt: "THE NEW BREED--YOU WERE CREATED TO LIVE IN TWO REALMS"
In
this hour, God is restoring His purpose to His people, and He is making it very clear to those who
will listen. God is refining His people in the earth because He is going to
present us to the world as His "jewels." He is revealing our true identity to us
as "His nation" within the nations of the world.
The earth is groaning for the
revealing of the sons of God. The Bible makes it clear that God is bringing many
sons to glory (Hebrews 2:10). God will have a generation that lays hold of His
fullness and aggressively advances the Kingdom of God on the earth. God is
waiting for it, we are waiting for it, and creation is groaning in birth pangs
for it (Romans 8:18-30). The time is Now!
THE RESTORATION OF ALL THINGS
The Bible says in Acts 3:19-21,
"Repent therefore and return, that your sins may be wiped away, in order that
times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord; and that He may send
Jesus, the Christ appointed for you, whom Heaven must receive until the period
of restoration of all things about which God spoke by the mouth of His holy
prophets from ancient time."
I believe this literally means that Jesus Christ is "retained" in the Heavens "until"
there is a restoration of all things on the earth. Restoration of what? It's the
restoration of God's original plan and intent for His people on the earth. God's
original purpose for Adam was to be a carrier of the fullness of His glory, to
be an ambassador of the Kingdom of Heaven, and to bring Heaven to earth daily.
Adam was created in the image of God and was told to have dominion, subdue the
earth, and fill it. Fill the earth with what? Adam was to fill the earth with the
Kingdom of God. Adam was God's agent and ambassadorial representative on this
earth. Let me continue by describing the way Adam was created...
CREATED FROM TWO ELEMENTS IN ORDER TO LIVE IN
TWO REALMS
Genesis 2:7 says this,
"Then the LORD God formed man of dust from the ground, and breathed into his
nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living being."
Adam was absolutely perfect in every way. He had a perfect body, perfect soul,
and perfect spirit. God first formed Adam from the dust of the ground. This was
an earthy substance that formed the part of Adam's being that gave him access to
the natural realm. In his body, Adam had his five natural senses--seeing,
hearing, smelling, touching, and tasting.
The fact that every human being has a body is very important--I believe
no "spirit
being" can function on the earth without flowing through a "human being" who has
given that spirit permission to function. In Genesis 1:26, God delegated the
authority over the earth to human beings. This means that humans have authority
over the earth and spirit beings flow through them to further their purposes.
This is true both for the Kingdom of God and the Kingdom of darkness. I believe
demons
need humans with bodies to flow through in order to function in the natural
realm.
In the same way, the Holy Spirit is looking for a person who is yielded
to Him in order to fill that person and flow out through them. This is the
reason why our prayers are effective because as delegated authorities on this
earth, we open up our lives by asking the Lord to come and flow through us in the
earthly realm.
We give this authority either to God or the devil very easily. Our bodies are
gateways. Gateways are
opened for spirit beings to flow through us because of what we set our five
natural senses on. What you set your eyes upon gains
entry into your soul, your mind, and your heart. The same goes with your other
four
senses. Have you ever heard the expression, "You are what you eat"? Well, what
you open yourself up to is what comes into you and flows and functions through
you.
An Understanding of the Breath of Life
Genesis 2:7 goes on to say that God breathed the breath of life into Adam. This
"breath of life" is a Hebrew word for "spirit." This does not mean the Holy
Spirit, but rather a supernatural element that came straight from God to form the
"human spirit" within man. This very element within man disproves evolution. If
you believe that human beings have a human spirit, as the Bible states, then
evolution is impossible because there is no evolution of the human spirit. The
human spirit is a supernatural element that came straight from the very breath
of God.
The breath of life, or the human spirit, is what gave Adam access to the
supernatural realm. Adam was essentially created from two elements--the earthly
(dust) and the supernatural/spiritual (spirit). So from the very beginning,
Adam was created as a dual-dimensional person with the ability to live and
operate from two realms at one time. In fact, every human being, whether born
again or not, is created with the ability to operate in two realms at one time
because every human being has a human spirit within them.
In the beginning, Adam was perfect in every way, and His relationship with God
reigned supreme in his life. There was absolutely no barrier between Adam and
God. Adam was so God-conscious that he did not even realize that he was
naked. I believe that Adam functioned in full capacity in the spiritual realm as
well as physically, in the natural realm. This is one of
the earmarks of a fully mature son or daughter of God--one who is fully
functional in the natural and the spiritual.
This was one of the issues of frustration for Paul the Apostle. He
longed to come to the church and feed them solid food but they
were not mature enough to receive anything but milk. He called them carnal. We
have plenty of people in the Body of Christ that are good at being carnal, but
very few who have learned to truly be spiritual and mature. Adam functioned in
an incredible realm of the glory and Kingdom of God. However, Adam made a
decision that would change the course of humanity for many years to come, until
Jesus arrived on the scene. Jesus came to restore the Kingdom of God to the
earth.
THE DECISION
God did not create robots; He created human beings with free will. One of the
greatest acts of grace of all time is--God created Adam with the ability to
turn away from Him. God is not looking for robots He can control. He is looking
for voluntary, laid-down lovers of God who will completely yield their lives to
Him in a divine romance that ushers in the eternally powerful Kingdom of God
into the earth!
Adam had a decision to make. When God placed Adam in the Garden of Eden, Adam was
neutral. Nothing had become internal within Adam at this point in time. God
placed two trees in the garden--the tree of life and the tree of knowledge of
good and evil. Adam could, either eat from the tree of life and receive eternal
life, or he could eat from the tree of knowledge and accept the nature of satan.
We know that Adam never ate from the tree of life because
Genesis 3:22-24 says
this:
"Then the LORD God said, 'Behold, the man has become like one of Us, knowing
good and evil; and now, lest he stretch out his hand, and take also from the
tree of life, and eat, and live forever'"
"--therefore the LORD God sent him out
from the garden of Eden, to cultivate the ground from which he was taken. So He
drove the man out; and at the east of the garden of Eden He stationed the
cherubim, and the flaming sword which turned every direction, to guard the way
to the tree of life."
Adam had already eaten from the tree of Knowledge, and God clearly states that He
had to drive Adam out of the garden. I believe if Adam would have eaten from the tree of life in
his fallen state, he would live forever in that fallen state. At the very moment
that Adam ate of the tree of Knowledge, not only did he and Eve become cursed,
but the earth became cursed as well. Before this time, Adam did not have to toil
and till the ground. Everything was just blessed and plush and overflowing with
abundance. But when the earth came under the curse, Adam had to sweat in labor to
toil the ground (Genesis 3:17-19).
Adam had just lost the ability to fulfill the original mandate given to man
because he was no longer a perfect man. This is why Romans 8 states that
creation is groaning in birth pains for the revealing of the sons of God in the
earth. Creation yearns for the sons of God to arise because only the sons of God
have the authority to reverse the curse on the land. Jesus came as "The Son of God"
to show us a prime example of the authority that a son of God can have over the
earth.
THE LINE OF ADAM
We are all separate, unique individuals, but at the same time, we are all one. We
are all part of the same family tree. Adam was the first prototype of a new
race--human beings. When a prototype is wrong, then all the others that follow
after it will be wrong as well. When Adam fell, he brought all of humanity into
the fallen state with him. Every human being born after Adam was corrupted
because Adam himself, as the prototype, was corrupted.
Genesis 5:3 says,
"When Adam had lived one hundred and thirty years, he became the father of a son
in his own likeness, according to his image, and named him Seth."
Adam's first son was born in Adam's image and likeness. This was a bad deal
because Adam was no longer living in the image and likeness of God because he
was corrupt. All of humanity is born in Adam's image with a fallen nature.
This spoiled God's plan of having a perfect race of people on the earth, filling
it with the Kingdom of God. However, God is never caught by surprise and had a
plan to reverse the curse, and redeem humanity even before the foundation of the
world (John 17:24).
After Adam's fall, God gave Israel
a set of rules, or laws, to live by, and if they believed in God and lived by the
laws, then it would be accounted to them as righteousness. Everyone who died
before the resurrection of Jesus, who believed in and obeyed God, went to paradise, where they would await the savior of the world
who would raise them up and take them to their eternal home in Heaven. I believe
no human
being who had died before Jesus, ever lived in Heaven until Jesus died on the
cross, plundered hell, and led captivity captive (Ephesians 4:8).
JESUS CAME TO BIRTH A
NEW BREED
Jesus Christ was sent and lived
His life as a prototype of what is possible and available for each one of us as
believers. Jesus lived His day-to-day life out of the intimate voice of God and
carried His Kingdom--the supernatural realm of Heaven on the earth with
miracles, signs, and wonders following Him.
Jesus came to birth a "New Breed" on the earth and restore the Kingdom of God to
them. This new breed is a remnant of people recklessly abandoned and in love
with their God, who through intimacy, will destroy the works of the devil, and bring
the realm of Heaven to earth daily.
This new breed will continue the mandate
originally given to Adam: Fill the earth with the Glory of God.
