Both David and Isaiah prayed ‘Lord, rend the heavens and come down’ (Psalm 144:5; Isaiah 64:1). It happened when Jesus came. New Testament believers need never pray it again. Christ tore the heavens, and came down to us. He then returned through the heavens ensuring that they remain open. The rent heavens have been rent for ever, and have never been sewn up again, neither by a needle-wielding Satan or any other hand. Through that open heaven the Holy Spirit then began to descend – the latter rain (Acts 2). The heavens are no more like brass, THEY ARE OPEN. Hell cannot impose sanctions, and blockade the kingdom of God, nor deprive its citizens. The new and living way is established beyond enemy control. Jesus Christ is Lord. REINHARD BONNKE.
