What the Spirit says?

As I was spending time in the 2 days symposium on Native Land Rights: issues, challenges and the way forward, these verses of scripture popped into my mind:

2 Chronicles 7:14 (KJV) If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land. 

My immediate question was, " Are NT Lands under some kind of a Curse. I went home and did a bit of research and sure enough, as one blogger described it for us, better than I could have done.

"The Spirit tells us that the land is defiled; and the land itself vomits out her inhabitants. The land is defiled when man refuses to worship the one true Creator God and turns to other idolatrous practices, such as; worshipping riches, bloodshed, sexual perversions, and broken covenants, which are some of the root causes. Defilement of the land creates legal grounds for the demonic to gain footholds and to attached to local cultures, including institutional demonic strongholds. These defilements layered on top of original sin, and the original curse upon creation, 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 redemtion to the land? First of all, the church is blinded to God's redemptive purpose for the land because she is complicit in promoting defilement and corruption. If the church were to understand God's redemptive purpose for the land it would uncover hidden sins that would embarace Christian religious history by exposing religious doctrine that empowered greed and the illegal occupation of the land through discovery and eventually colonialism. Can you immagine the church telling its financial supporters to repent and to give the land back to God, because of idolatry, bloodshed, broken covenants, sexual perversions ? Instead the church preaches a feel good message that never exposes the real issues that 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. "
