"If only you would tear apart the sky and come down!
The mountains would tremble before you!" V. 1
Isaiah's cry God fulfilled:
"And just as Jesus was coming up out of the water, he saw the heavens splitting apart and the Spirit descending on him like a dove." Mark 1:10
Our cries for help have been answered. Not only do we have a deliverer who tore apart the heavens, but tore apart the grave and the gates of hell when he rose from the dead.
And that same spirit that tore apart the heavens and descended on Jesus at his baptism, and descended into hell and brought Jesus out of the grave, has descended on you at your baptism and all those cry out in faith to God.
My family, I pray those who have cried out to God to remember who resides in you this morning. Those of you who have not yet cried out to God, there is a Holy Spirit that longs to tear through heaven and earth to deliver you from any hell-like gates you find yourself trapped behind. Pray over who you know that is still in a pit without Christ that you need to connect with today and jump into thier pit and direct them who to cry out to for help. What better act of love could you do for Lent? In Jesus’ name. Please pray the same for me. God bless you my friends!
