"HEALING THE LAND"

Romans 8:21 "Creation itself also will be delivered from the bondage of corruption"

I have been amazed at the lack of attention and insight of the modern Christian community concerning THE HEALING OF THE LAND! Romans chapter eight makes it clear that the whole creation is groaning for the manifestation of the sons of God. I have found in scrpture that healing the land is a vital part of redemption; I believe that it will be God's sons who will restore the blessing that the Creator intended for His creation. It is not hard to figure out that creation is convulsing and revolting because of the defilement of its inhabitants. So called eco-scientists are calling for worldwide reduction in carbon emissions and pollution to stem global warminig. But let me tell you it is not because of the car you are driving nor your carbon footprint; no, it is because of your sins. The Spirit tells us that the land is defiled; and the land itself vomits out her inhabitants (Lev 18:25). The land is defiled when man refuses to worship the one true Creator God, YHWH, and turns to other idolatrous practices, such as; idolatry, the worship of riches, innocent bloodshed, sexual perversions, and broken covenants (Isai 24:5). These are some of the root causes for the defilement of the land which gives legal ground for the demonic to gain a foothold and to operate in the local cultures (Jer 23:10). This also includes institutionalized demonic strongholds. Defilements layered on top of each other and the curse of original sin lends to an earth that is reeling under a load that is ready to topple. Now the question of why the church has not paid more attention to bringing the redemptive promise to the land? First of all, the church is blinded to God's redemptive purpose for the land. Blindness has come in part because she is complicit in promoting defilement and corruption through the support and promotion of the Doctrine of Discovery and colonialism. If the church were to understand God's redemptive purpose for the land hidden sins would be uncovered and that would embarrace Christian religious hirarchies and expose religious doctrine that empowers greed and the illegal occupation of the land. Can you immagine the church telling its financial supporters to repent and to give the land back to God? Instead the churches preach a feel good message that never exposes the real issues that defile the land and cause revival to tarry. Give me a call when you decide to get serious about the Kingdom of God, until then hold on tight because this old earth is going to take us for a ride.
