Earth's Administration

I am so excited!!!  I am reading E Quake by Jack Hayford which is a different take on Revelation.  He says to understand Revelation, you have to understand the central focus of the book--which is worship.  That's good enough--in and of itself.
But on page 103, he talks about John weeping when there was no one to open the scroll.  But he was told, "Look, look, the Lion of the tribe of Judah.  Here is One to open the scroll."
Jack Hayford asks, "Why doesn't God Himself open the scroll?"  And he answers, "Because it has to do with the administration of earth's affairs." 
He goes on to explain that Genesis 1 and Psalm 115 tell us that God gave the administration of earth to man.  Man messed it up and a Man had to redeem it.  Jesus is the Redeemer.  So Jesus is the only One capable of opening the scroll.  No one in heaven, in earth, or under the earth was able to open the scroll.  There had to be a worthy human being--which is why He became one. 
He goes on to say....well, let me let him tell you himself:
"God has left to mankind the affairs of earth.  Why doesn't God do something?  He always will when He is invited.  But what takes place on this planet He has decreed will take place only when human beings will it to be so.  And we can will the will of God, will our own wills, or cooperate with Satan's will."
God immediately brought something back to my mind.  I was watching Larry King this week as he interviewed George & Barbara Bush.  They were discussing George W.'s new book.  Barbara was talking about how both George's were maligned when natural disasters took place under their presidency and they didn't send in troops to help.  But they couldn't.  The Governor of the state must ask for the help.  And if the Governor doesn't ask for help, the President's hands are tied.
Does it not excite you to understand this?  The earth is under man's administration.  And in order for God the Father to move and do something on earth, He must be asked!!  I'm excited!  It brings a whole new understanding to prayer and the way God works!
