16 The heavens are the Lord’s heavens, but the earth He has given to the children of man. ~ Psalms 115:16
He gave us, mankind, the earth; therefore, He expects us to run it and take authority over it. Genesis 1:26 confirms this. Look at what God decrees over Adam and Eve.
26 Then God said, “Let us make man in our image, after our likeness. And let them have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over the livestock and over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.”
Genesis 1:26
Therefore, God uses/needs man to accomplish things on the earth, and examples are splashed throughout the Scriptures.

- Egypt’s punishment – Thru Moses and Aaron
- Israel’s rescue – Thru the judges
- The punishment of Israel – Thru the Assyrians
- Judah’s punishment – Thru the Babylonians
- The Babylonian punishment – Thru the Mede’s and Persians
- And on and on
This is the importance of not only fulfilling the call on our lives but praying and crying out to God. God doesn’t do anything on the earth without first hearing the cries of His people. He knows what we need before we ask, but He never interferes in our lives unless He is asked. And when His children ask, He answers.
Peace. Love. Go Forth and Ask Your Heavenly Father.
