Wyatt: "THE NEW BREED WILL SHAKE THE NATIONS--BRINGING HEAVEN TO EARTH
DAILY"
SALVATION IS NOT WHAT WE
THINK
Jesus Christ did not come to earth in the
form of a human, just so people could be born again, and one day go to Heaven
when they die. That thought is a very watered-down version of the gospel. The
gospel that many of us heard at our moment of salvation, was probably something
like, "Simply give your heart to Jesus, read your Bible everyday, and be
faithful to a local church." That certainly wasn't the gospel that Jesus
preached. Many people's idea of salvation is that they now have their bus ticket
to Heaven, so when the moment of death comes along, they are assured a seat on
the bus bound for Heaven.
God's idea of complete salvation is not just having an assurance of going to
Heaven one day, but rather being saved enough to bring Heaven to earth now! This
was Adam's original mandate that he forfeited in the garden after disobeying
God. I think Jesus was serious in Matthew 6:10,
when He told us to pray, "Your Kingdom come. Your
will be done on earth as it is in Heaven."
THE NEW PROTOTYPE FOR THE 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. He 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, destroy the works of the devil, and bring
the realm of Heaven to earth daily. This new breed would carry the very DNA of
God within them, and continue the mandate originally given to Adam--to fill the
earth with the Glory of God.
Adam was the first prototype of an entire human race. When Adam sinned in the
garden and became corrupt, he corrupted every human being that would come after
him, because all human beings come from the seed of Adam. The Bible separates
all of humanity into two categories--In Adam or in Christ.
1 Corinthians 15:45 says this, "So also
it is written, 'The first man, Adam, became a living soul. The last Adam
became a life-giving spirit."
The meaning of this Scripture, is that Jesus Christ came as the "last Adam"
because like the first Adam, Jesus would be the prototype of a new breed. Jesus
birthed a new "man" on the earth who would carry the DNA of God within them, and
continue the mandate originally given to Adam.
SATAN PANICKED
When Jesus was born, satan panicked because all of a sudden, he was seeing
another perfect Man on the earth just as Adam was before his fall. Could Jesus
birth a new race of people that could carry on the mandate of God in the earth?
I believe satan probably looked at this situation and wondered how this would
happen when there was no perfect woman on the earth to help birth a new race.
Nevertheless, satan panicked, and immediately decided that he would have Jesus
killed! Satan operated through Herod to kill all male children under the age of
2, in the hopes of killing Jesus, and stopping this new race from coming into
existence (Matthew 2:16).
What satan did not realize, is that Jesus had no intention of birthing a new
species of human in a physical sense. 1 Corinthians
2:7-8 says, "But we speak God's wisdom in a
mystery, the hidden wisdom, which God predestined before the ages to our glory;
the wisdom which none of the rulers of this age has understood; for if they had
understood it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory."
Satan fell right into the plan of God by having Jesus crucified. The plan of God
was that Jesus would be crucified, raised from the dead, and become a
life-giving Spirit (1 Corinthians 15:45) to
birth a new breed "in the spirit." God would give humanity an opportunity to be
born again, or "born from above."
Like I said, the Lord had no intention of
birthing a new species of human, but rather coming to live within human beings,
thereby making them different from any other human to ever walk the earth. Human
beings would be granted the opportunity to be born a second time, but this time
they would be "born from above," in the spirit, and have the very DNA of God
within them!
THE BIRTHING OF THE NEW BREED
Jesus stated His earthly purpose in John 12:23-24, "But
Jesus answered them, saying, 'The hour has come that the Son of Man should be
glorified. Most assuredly, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the
ground and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it produces much grain.'"
Jesus compares Himself to a grain of wheat. He says that if a grain of wheat
falls into the ground and dies, it will produce many more grains of wheat, just
like the first grain. Jesus died and rose from the dead, so He could birth a new
breed that would be just like Him.
Jesus is the "first born from the dead" as
stated in Colossians 1:18,
"He is also head of the body, the church; and He is the
beginning, the first-born from the dead; so that He Himself might come to have
first place in everything."
Jesus is the new breed. By Jesus dying and raising from the dead, He became the
fulfillment of a new prototype of a new breed that would be just like Him.
Romans 8:29 says,
"For whom He foreknew, He also predestined to become
conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the first-born among many
brethren."
BORN OF GOD
Born again believers are the brothers of Jesus and the very offspring of God.
Let me make this point clear, we are not God, but we are sons of God. If you are
born again, you are not just adopted by God; you are literally born of God and
you have His DNA within you!
1 John 3:9,
says that you literally have the seed of God within you,
"No one born of God makes a practice of sinning, for God's seed abides in
him, and he cannot keep on sinning because he has been born of God,"
and 1 Peter 1:23 says,
"For you have been born again not of seed which is perishable but
imperishable, that is, through the living and abiding word of God."
AS HE IS, SO ARE WE IN THIS WORLD
Jesus
clearly states in the Word of God that we will do greater things than He did
(John 14:12). The Bible also states in
1 John 4:17b, "as He is, so also are we in this world."
If we are to be, in this world, just as God is "right now," and we are to do
greater works than Jesus did, then let's take a look at the way Jesus lived. In
John 3:13, Jesus says,
"No one has ascended to Heaven but He who came down from Heaven, that is, the
Son of Man who is in Heaven."
One interpretation of this would be that no one could ascend to Heaven, or be in
Heaven, unless they first came from Heaven. Jesus is saying, as He stands on the
earth in front of Nicodemus, that He is also in Heaven at this very moment. How
could Jesus be both on earth, standing in front of Nicodemus, and also be in
Heaven at the same time? He stated this as a fact because, He came from Heaven.
The fact that Jesus came from Heaven, gave Him the right to be in Heaven at the same
time as standing on the earth, as a man.
Just as the first Adam lived in two realms at one
time, connected to God before the fall, so now Jesus is stating that He lives in
two realms at one time as the last Adam. The death and resurrection of Jesus,
provided us with a way to be "born from above" and become Heavenly citizens. We
are seated with Christ in Heavenly places even while present on this earth,
because we have been born from above. We also have access to the Heavenly places
just as Jesus did while He walked the earth.
WE ARE THE GATEWAY OF HEAVEN ON EARTH
In Genesis 28, we read of an account where
Jacob encountered an open Heaven. He laid his head on a rock to sleep for the
night, and had an encounter where he saw a ladder set up on the earth and
reaching into Heaven. He saw angels ascending and descending on the ladder, and
he saw the Lord standing at the top of the ladder. Jacob came out of the
experience and marveled at how awesome that place was, and said that this place
is the house of God and the gateway of Heaven.
How does Jacob describe the house of God? He describes the house of God as being
a place where the gate of Heaven is open, and the angels ascend and descend and
the Lord looks on with a watchful eye. According to Jacob, the house of God is a
pretty incredible place! Where is the house of God today, where the Heavens are
open? The Bible says you are the temple of God (1
Corinthians 6:19).
Where is the gateway of Heaven on earth today? The answer is found in
John
1:51, "And He said to him, "Truly, truly, I say to you, you shall see the
Heavens opened, and the angels of God ascending and descending on the Son of
Man.'"
In this Scripture, Jesus says that the Heavens are open over Him, and the angels
ascend and descend upon Him. Jesus is telling us that He is now the Heavenly
ladder that Jacob experienced in the wilderness. Jesus is basically saying that
He is the gateway of Heaven on earth.
I believe one of the greatest truths of the Bible that will explode within
the hearts of this end-time generation is the truth of
Colossians 1:27, "To whom God willed to make known what is the riches of the
glory of this mystery among the Gentiles, which is Christ in you, the hope of
glory."
God is trying to get us to a place of truly understanding who we are. The
church is having an identity crisis. When the people of God begin to realize
that the purpose of Jesus on the earth, was to birth a new breed of people who
would carry the DNA of God within them, and bring Heaven to earth daily, we will
begin to live with purpose. When the people of God begin to realize their
identity as the very offspring of God (as He is right now, so are we), the
church will begin to shake the nations with the power of God.
We are the house of God where the Heavens are open, and we are the gateway where
Heaven touches earth because Jesus Christ lives within us!
When we realize that the greatest revival to ever
touch the earth lives within each and every born again believer, then we will
fulfill the mandate of "Your Kingdom come. Your will be
done on earth as it is in Heaven."

"How
to Bring Heaven on Earth in Your Life"
"When Heaven
Invades Earth"
One
of the things that set Jesus apart was the fact that He operated in a "beyond
human" ability. As a co-laborer in Christ, it is so exciting to know that you
can live a supernatural life in the here and now! In fact, moving in the
supernatural realm should be as routine as prayer, worship, and reading
Scripture. It is part of what Jesus purchased for us on the Cross! This book
covers the manifestation of the Kingdom of God here and now. It is a must-have!
