Kari Jobe – Heal Our Land 

 

When I shut up the heavens so that there is no rain, or command locusts to devour the land or send a plague among my people, if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land.”

2 Chronicles 7:13-14

​

VOMITED OUT

And if you defile the land, it will vomit you out as it vomited out the nations that were before you. Leviticus 18:25

​

The land spit us out. No longer allowed to occupy the beloved property which held the house my husband and I built together with mountainous views from every window, beautiful gardens and planted trees in memory of my mother and our son; a place filled with cherished family memories.

​

Of what use is money in the hand of a fool, since he has no desire to get wisdom?

Proverbs 17:16

​

That was us, fools with a fortune in the bank and no desire to get wisdom. So we polluted the land that God gave us with our pride, greed, fear, materialism, vanity, ungratefulness, idolatry, complaints, anger and bitterness. We defiled it; lost our fortune, our status and was forced to sell our land and walk away.

​

Their wealth will be plundered, their houses uninhabited. They will build houses, but not live in them; they will plant vineyards, but not drink the wine.

Zephaniah 1:13

​

Every time I drove by that property, I thought I was going to throw up. How did we lose all of this? How did we get here?

Now we have debt, a tiny house and belongings stuffed in storage and the garage. The bedroom ceilings were so low, it felt as if I would suffocate. We had wide open spaces before, but now our small family was crammed into what felt like a postage stamp. Wealth one day, poor the next...just like that, our wealth sprouted wings and flew away like an eagle.

​

Cast but a glance at riches, and they are gone, for they will surely sprout wings and fly off to the sky like an eagle.

Proverbs 23:5

​

To further add to the misfortune, we sold the big house right before the housing boom and ended up buying the little house at the peak of the housing market in 2006. Timing was not on our side, the land unforgiving.

​

After a year and a half in this little house, my husband and I separated. Too much loss, too much water under the bridge, a marriage at risk of being swept away. Still grieving over all the losses and with depression settling in, I began complaining, “God, I don’t want to be in this house, I want my house back. Why did we lose it all, why do we have to be here? My friends are building beautiful new homes, I’m stuck here and my marriage is in shambles, my child in the grave. Why are we going through so many losses – our son, our fortune, retirement, our land, possessions, my career, positions in church, friends and now our marriage. LORD, if you prune one more thing, I will be a stump on the floor.”

​

His words to me, “I gave you everything in your life, and I can take it all away until all you want is Me, for I AM a jealous God who loves you beyond measure.  All of this is my grace.”

I cried out for all of Jesus, day and night. And one day He suddenly answered by prayer.

​

After a year being separated from my husband, the Holy Spirit fell on me and rebuked me for disrespecting my husband and slandering his name - criticizing him with a self-righteous heart. I repented to God, confessed my sin to my husband and I was forgiven. I asked him to come home. We cried! God healed our marriage!

​

To want all of Jesus, is to desire all of who He is….holiness, wisdom, dying to flesh, love, forgiveness, and a pure heart. No more to defile the land, but to bless it with His holiness and purity.

​

The sweetness of having our little family back together in our tiny home was all that mattered. After the loss of fortune, my husband had to leave retirement at the age of 41 and enter the work force again. Soon, he requested that I return to work one day a week since money was tight. So I returned to work and set up a clinic in our back storage bedroom. Strangely, Jesus called me not to charge, as my work was now to be a ministry. I was to work for Jesus, not money. “But LORD, we need the money,” I feared.

Miraculously, He out gave us that year.

Healing began to pour in.

​

The housing market crashed in 2008 and we found ourselves upside down in our house loan. Jesus began sending patients and their families into the clinic who were experiencing heart-wrenching misfortune. Some lost their homes, life savings, and jobs. Some were having marital troubles and others could barely put food on the table or clothe their children. Most were in need of healthcare that was not going to drug them, slice them open or put them in debt.

Observing all of this misfortune in my patients, I stopped complaining and repented of my sin. My eyes were opened, I was now grateful for my husband’s job, thankful for a roof over our heads, food on the table and our marriage healed.

The patient numbers were growing and that meant more people were occupying our tiny living room as a waiting room. My family was longing for more privacy.

Two years after the ministry started, a friend suggested we write down everything we needed in a house. So we did. Three weeks later, another friend told us of a house that was coming up for rent or purchase. We decided to check it out! It was the house we had admired for years; a smaller version of our big one and perfect for what we needed for the ministry.

The owner wanted to rent for now, but we were stuck upside down in house debt with no way out. We prayed together as a family and miraculously three weeks later, we got a check in the mail from the State. The check was for the same amount as the upside down house debt. We were shocked. Eight years later, this check shows up! You see, part of our fortune had run off to Canada, with an investor who robbed many here in our town with their life savings. The State went after the thief and seized his assets. For eight years, the state worked hard for the investors, trying to get some of their money back. This check was the fruit of their efforts.

Thank you LORD!!

With praise in our hearts, we were so grateful to God for this miracle and all He had done for us.

We then put our little house up for sale during the worst housing market, and in the middle of winter.

After adjusting the price, three prospective buyers were trying to outbid each other…in the dead of winter with houses not selling. Amazing!!

The “winning” buyer offered $5000 more than what we were asking. They knew this was the house for them, after they saw the Word of God written on my clinic walls. Only Jesus could have done all this!

With our hearts full of joy and thankfulness, we paid off our debt and moved into our new home. God laid out this house just for us and our needs…this was God’s house! We did NOTHING to get it. HE redeemed our land and gave back to us what the enemy had taken, due to our foolish hearts. This land was blessed with His wisdom and Presence. No more defilement.

Now our land brings healing and the gospel to the people.

Praise be to Jesus!!

​

DEFILING THE LAND

Don’t be fooled. It is NOT pollutants, carbon emissions, factories, trash, cows, straws or the number of people that pollute the earth. It is SIN that defiles the land.

​

We are more concerned about the care of the earth than the care of our own hearts; sin which has defiled the land more than pollution ever will. GOD’s earth, His ground which HE created, cannot bare the weight of all this sin: innocent bloodshed, violence, sexual, idolatry, immorality and lawlessness; defiling His land with sin rather than holiness, curses rather than blessings.

​

We WILL reap what we have sown.

​

Our mouths shout and our fingers point, “Look at all of the neglect. We must take care of the earth, the animals, the climate; protect it, care for it, and work towards preservation.”

​

No people, we must FIRST take care of the sin in our own hearts.  

This is what is destroying the earth!!  When we repent of our sin which is defiling the land, God will then give man wisdom to take care of HIS planet. 

​

Little do they know that the land will vomit them out if they do not repent of their sin. Little do they know that the earth is consecrated ground; ground that has been bought and paid for with the blood of Jesus Christ. And God’s land will not tolerate the defilement of sin.

​

We know that the whole creation has been groaning as in the pains of childbirth right up to the present time.

Romans 8:22

​

GOD’S SPOKEN WORD

God said, “Don’t defile My land with sin or it will vomit you out.” These are the same words spoken to Adam and Eve and they were vomited out of the Garden of Eden. Same words spoken to the Israelites and they were vomited out of the promised land and now sadly, today the Jewish people have been vomited out of sections of their own inheritance. And to the Gentiles, God said, “If you are wicked, you shall not remain in the land, for the righteous shall inherit the land.”

​

For the upright will live in the land, and the blameless will remain in it; but the wicked will be cut off from the land, and the unfaithful will be torn from it.

Proverbs 2:21-22

​

The land was created by a Holy God, for His glory, given to us as a blessing, for He owns it all. However, if we do not Fear the LORD and repent of our sin, but pollute His land with wickedness, it will remove us.

God calls nations to send the good news of the gospel of Jesus Christ to the world, which was the exact calling God gave to Israel. These lands were to bless the LORD for His purpose, not be cursed with evil. It is our choice. We can either curse the land with our sin or bless it with the Fear of God in our hearts. We will reap what we sow. But if we keep cursing God’s land with our sin, then it will surely kick us out!

​

AM I DEFILING THE LAND

Yes, we can point the finger at the wicked polluting the land with their sin, but Jesus says, “What about you? What about the sin that lies deep within your own heart? Be teachable, meek and humble before Me. Let me correct and discipline you.”

​

Judge me O LORD. Judge my heart first, lest I defile the land with my own sin and become just as guilty and not remain.

​

Where and how am I defiling the land with my sin?

​

THE OCCUPANTS BEFORE

If we move into a previously occupied house, don’t we clean the filth first that was left before we move in? The land has inherited generations of wickedness and defilement from those who have inhabited it before us. And we move in thinking it’s clean? Did this land inherit God’s holiness or wickedness? What did your land inherit? What about your city or your nation?

For many, the land has inherited genocide, witchcraft, drugs, false religion, legalism, sexual perversion, trafficking, vile spirits, satanic rituals, infirmities, greed, political and business corruption, deception, violence, poverty, tragic natural disasters and the like.

The wicked defiled it with sin before us and now so are we. No surprise that nations today are struggling with every kind of sin we can imagine.

​

Sorry to say, but the Saints remain complacent, letting the land be taken over by curses from generations past and present. Have the people of God

cleansed the land spiritually of the sin it inherited or of the sin they have committed

themselves? Principalities of darkness remain and we wonder why evil is prevailing. The land is cursed by wickedness and can only be cleansed by the Blood of Jesus who broke all curses.

The children of God have inherited this earth and we are complacent. We sit in the filth and refuse to take our rightful place of ownership and cleanse it. Not with violence as our ancestors did, but with prayer, cleansing our own hearts first and speaking the Word of God and the Blood of Jesus over the land. Not in people’s faces, but declaring it to principalities of darkness. Now the judge is saying, “Wake up and take authority!”

​

To the one who is victorious and does my will to the end, I will give authority over the nations— that one ‘will rule them with an iron scepter and will dash them to pieces like pottery’ —just as I have received authority from my Father.

Revelation 2:26-27

​

TAKE POSSESSION OF THE LAND

Adam relinquished his dominion over the earth to Satan by sinning against God’s command.  He handed the keys to the devil.  Jesus bought back the keys by shedding His own Blood.  Now, Jesus has full dominion over the earth which He then passes on to the righteous. Jesus said, “The meek shall inherit the earth and then He fulfilled that promise with His blood.  “Inherit the earth” does not mean just at the end of the age, it means RIGHT NOW!!  The land is an inheritance from God to His people.

​

Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth.

Matthew 5:5

​

Jesus gave us authority over the devil and the earth is rightfully ours by His Blood. So then someone is “livin’ in the land who ain’t supposed to be.” Kick the devil out! THIS IS NOT HIS LAND!! He has NO dominion,

but sadly, we are giving away our inheritance back to him through our own sin.

​

God took the land of Canaan away from the enemy and gave it to the Israelites through their faithfulness. Generations later, they willingly gave the land back to the enemy by their sin. Jesus came and paid for them to have full dominion of their land again, but they wanted their sin more then they wanted Jesus or their inheritance. And now, God is giving them back their inheritance, but sadly they are giving it away again to the enemy.

Why do you keep giving your land away, desiring your sin more than you want your inheritance?

A land blessed by the Almighty God.

If you repent, love and obey Him, He will remove the enemy before you. Your inheritance secure.

Take dominion of your hearts first by the Blood of Jesus and He will give you full dominion of your land and your enemies.

How can any of us take dominion of the land when we can't even take dominion of our own hearts?

​

“All of the promises in the Bible are yours, so do not be slack to go up and possess your land.  Between you and your possessions are powerful enemies, but gather your forces of prayer and faith in that all-sufficient name of Jesus and go against them.  Do not stop until the last enemy is conquered.  The size of your inheritance depends on how much land you have stood on, walked on, and really claimed.  If you have not claimed it all, then as much more of it is yours as you dare possess.” 

Dr. T.L. Osborn – Healing The Sick 

 

This quote does not refer to violence, but to spiritually claim possession by standing on the Word of God and defeating the enemy of darkness that resides in the land.   

​

JESUS REIGNS

This is what I hear, “Well, you know we live in a world of sin and so we just have to endure what the devil dishes out, because it is a fallen world.

WAKE UP!! Not one word of this is biblical truth.

God owns this earth and Jesus redeemed it with His precious blood, He has given us authority over the devil to conquer sin and JESUS REIGNS.  Sin does not reign! 

​

All creation groans for the righteous to step up – saying, come on children of God get the evil out of the earth. You have been given full authority.

Jesus did His work already on the cross and defeated Satan, now it’s your turn to triumph over Satan and kick him out of the earth to the abyss.

That means, TODAY, this land is ours – the righteous, by the authority and Blood of Jesus Christ. All hell needs to hear our voices proclaim this Word.

If you inherited a nice piece of property and someone tried to take over your rightfully-owned land, you would call the police, show them the documents and exercise your authority, because it is YOUR land. Then why are we not doing the same with the inheritance God has given His people? No evil shall inherit our land for the meek shall inherit the earth. Take possession of what is rightfully yours. Christ reigns, we reign, on earth as it is in heaven.

​

Those the LORD blesses will inherit the land, but those He curses will be cut off.

Psalm 37:22

​

Turn from evil and do good; then you will dwell in the land forever.

Psalm 37:27a

​

For the scepter of wickedness shall not rest on the land allotted to the righteous.

But those who turn aside to their crooked ways the Lord will lead away with evildoers! Peace be upon Israel!

Psalms 125:3, 5

​

Therefore rejoice, you heavens and you who dwell in them! But woe to the earth and the sea, because the devil has gone down to you! He is filled with fury, because he knows that his time is short.

Revelation 12:12

​

THEIR PROTECTION IS GONE

Only do not rebel against the Lord. And do not be afraid of the enemies of God, because we will devour them. Their protection is gone, but the Lord is with us. Do not be afraid of them.

Numbers 14:9

​

Why are we the Holy people of God afraid of the wicked? ONLY by Jesus’ righteousness and His Blood shall we not be afraid.

Think about this. Any enemy of God has zero protection physically, mentally and spiritually against the Almighty. Their protection is gone!

They have nothing, but we have the Dread Warrior at our right hand - the presence of Jesus.

​

But the Lord is with me as a dread warrior; therefore my persecutors will stumble; they will not overcome me.

Jeremiah 20:11a

​

Thank Him and praise Him that our enemies are as vulnerable as a deer in an open field!! Why do you shake and fear the wicked? Speak the imprecatory scriptures over them and they shall fall before your very eyes.

Do as David did.

​

It is a dreadful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.

Hebrews 10:31

​

CLEANSING THE LAND

FIRST cleanse your heart.

God cleansed the hearts of the Israelites in the wilderness FIRST BEFORE taking possession of the Promised Land. Then, they were in a position to cleanse the land. Otherwise, they would have gotten devoured by the wickedness in the land and in themselves and could not have taken possession.

We are to be meek, humble and repentful before the Living God, the Fear of the Lord in our hearts. This leads us to ask God to judge our hearts everyday, lest we be condemned with the world. This is the making of a disciple of Jesus Christ, a soldier in the Army of God. In this position, the dragon cannot stand before the soldier and accuse. For they have owned

their sin before Christ. Now the saints are in a position of full authority against the enemy.

For who can take on an enemy when they are deaf, mute and blind?

​

SECOND cleanse the land.

As I have clearly stated before, this does not mean with violence, hatred or forcing people to accept the Gospel, similar to the generations before us. God had Joshua cleanse the land with the Word of God, speaking it day and night so that the Spiritual Sword would go before them and cleanse the Promised Land of the principalities of darkness. The Word was also to shield and protect them as they went. There were great physical enemies in the land as well as spiritual, and God devoured both. He gave the Israelite’s enemies into their hands. We are NOT called to battle or become violent against the wicked – God’s physical enemies, but we are called to speak the Word over our land, over the wicked and pray them to salvation. And GOD will give all of our enemies into our hands.

​

Keep this Book of the Law always on your lips; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful. 

Have I not commanded you?  Be strong and courageous.  Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.  

Joshua 1:8-9 

​

WORD AND BLOOD

After cleaning our hearts, then God’s people are in a position to cleanse the land by speaking the Word of God and declaring the Blood of Jesus over it and our hearts. That Word of God – the imprecatory scriptures spoken against the enemies of God, will boomerang on us, if our hearts are not willing to have God judge them first.

​

Then walk the length and the breath of the land if possible.

But make sure that the cleansed land is filled with the Presence of God and consecrated to God. For SOMETHING, either Jesus or Satan will occupy that space. It is never spiritually empty.

​

When an impure spirit comes out of a person, it goes through arid places seeking rest and does not find it. Then it says, ‘I will return to the house I left.’ When it arrives, it finds the house unoccupied, swept clean and put in order. Then it goes and takes with it seven other spirits more wicked than itself, and they go in and live there. And the final condition of that person is worse than the first.

Matthew 12:43-45

​

They triumphed over the dragon by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony. Revelation 12:11a

​

CONSECRATING THE LAND

When we consecrate something, we:

​

spiritually wash it clean through repentance;

devote it to God;

declare the Blood of Jesus over it;

bathe it in the spoken Word of God

​

It is purified, set apart and protected by the wisdom and power of Jesus. What was for ignoble use is now for noble purposes.

​

ITS ALL ABOUT THE LAND

Most battles in history have been fought over land.

Today, the globalist want to preserve the land through death. There is too many people. But God’s land has never been preserved or blessed from bloodshed, because it is defilement. The ONLY way God’s land will be preserved will be through His holiness and the pure hearts of the people.

Because He owns the world and everything in it and He is the ONLY one who can bring blessing upon it.

​

The heavens are yours, and yours also the earth; you founded the world and all that is in it.

Psalm 89:11

​

ISRAEL

Oh Israel, your land which God gave to you in the days of Joshua, promised through His Word to your fathers Abraham, Isaac and Jacob is your rightful inheritance forever. People say you have lost this inheritance and it is no longer yours, but God’s Word is never void by our failures.

Nothing cancels His enduring Word.

​

Your enemies prevail against you in your land, because you have defiled it with your sin.  Same as America.  We have sinned and defiled the ground in which God gave us.  But He is calling His people to purify their hearts and wash them clean with the Blood of Jesus and declare His mighty Word over the land, that His enemies may be cast out and defeated.

​

The Lord is righteous; he has cut the cords of the wicked. May all who hate Zion be put to shame and turned backward! Let them be like the grass on the housetops, which withers before it grows up.

Psalms 129:4-6

​

So proclaim His Word with repentful hearts over Jerusalem and the Temple Mount, declare it over the ruins and the ground which is no longer yours; the borders in which He originally spoke. Proclaim the precious Blood of Jesus which was spilt on your land. 

However, if you speak His Word with defiled hearts, it will cast you out as well.  Only God and His Word can defeat your enemies and restore what is rightfully yours.  Just like in the days of Joshua, He spoke the Word day and night and the enemies fell.

​

No one can bring healing to your land, but the One who gave it to you.

Your enemies are defiling His Holy Ground before your very eyes.

And because He gave it to you, purify your hearts before Him and He will give your enemies into your hands. For they are standing on holy ground.

You will take full possession of your inheritance from your cleansing.

​

Repeatedly, He said, don’t defile my land or it will vomit you out.

In the wilderness, He cleansed your nation of their sin so that your fathers would be meek, teachable and humble. He is just like a loving parent with a child in a dangerous situation. “My Love, I need you to stay close, listen to me, and be teachable as I guide you through this journey, otherwise you will be devoured.” If your fathers had entered the promised land with all the sin they left Egypt with, they would have been devoured by their enemies and the wickedness in the promised land and would not have taken possession.

But God and His Word purified His people, in the promised land, the enemies were cast out. Later, your fathers defiled it themselves and the land vomited them out too.

And now you are defiling your land and so is your enemy….hence the unrest. There will NEVER be peace as long as there is defilement. God will see to ,it for it is HIS land, not yours. It has been given to you as a gift. In America, our land was given to us by God as a gift, and we have unrest which will remain until defilement stops.

​

The Fear of the LORD is not in us….but it will be.

And the Fear of the LORD is not in our enemies….but it will be.

​

God cleanse our hearts first, then you will cleanse the land with your mighty hand.

Oh Israel, do not tremble in fear of your enemies, for your God is with you and He will bless your land.

​

ALL IS ABOUT TO CHANGE

The land of the United States was dedicated to the Almighty God by our Christian founding fathers who Feared the LORD. But when the Christ followers moved in, they did not spiritually cleanse the land from the defilement, but only removed the nations. What good does that do?

It has never been spiritually cleansed from all of the defilement before us. And we scratch our heads wondering why there is so much evil.

From the very beginning, the godly have never fully taken possession of the land from its physical or spiritual enemies, because His people were devoured by their own sin and could not take a position of authority and cleanse their land spiritually.

​

Right now the United States is in a mess because we are trying to cleanse the land without first cleansing our hearts. The same was true with the Civil War. When we try to cleanse the land WITHOUT cleansing our hearts FIRST, then man strives against man = war.

But when we cleanse our hearts FIRST BEFORE cleansing the land, then God strives against man with righteousness and justice.

​

THE HEALING OF OUR LAND

Can you imagine the impact, millions of saints will have on the land, when they begin taking possession with the Word of God in their throats, the Fear of the LORD in their hearts and the Blood of Jesus to bind the enemy?  The earth will proclaim His glory and all creation will sing His praise.

​

The earth will proclaim His glory and all creation will sing His praise.

Let his faithful people rejoice in this honor and sing for joy on their beds. May the praise of God be in their mouths and a double-edged sword in their hands, to inflict vengeance on the nations and punishment on the peoples, to bind their kings with fetters, their nobles with shackles of iron, to carry out the sentence written against them— this is the glory of all his faithful people. Praise the Lord.

Psalm 149:5-9

​

A little while, and the wicked will be no more; though you look for them, they will not be found. But the meek will inherit the land and enjoy peace and prosperity.

Psalm37:10-11

​

“For those who are evil will be destroyed, but those who hope in the Lord will inherit the land.

Those the Lord blesses will inherit the land, but those he curses will be destroyed.

For the Lord loves the just and will not forsake his faithful ones. Wrongdoers will be completely destroyed; the offspring of the wicked will perish. The righteous will inherit the land and dwell in it forever.

Hope in the Lord and keep his way. He will exalt you to inherit the land; when the wicked are destroyed, you will see it.”

Psalm 37:9, 22, 28-29, 34
