In a recent sermon, Pastor John Kilpatrick unfolded a profound revelation concerning the connection between sin and the Earth’s manifestations. Pastor Kilpatrick, prompted by the Holy Spirit, emphasized the need to warn people about the signs taking place globally, shedding light on the spiritual perspective that sin affects the Earth profoundly.
The pastor highlighted the crucial distinction between divine actions and the consequences of the fall of Adam and Eve. He stressed the direct connection between the state of the land and humanity, linking them through the impact of sin. The message echoed the idea that the Earth, affected by the fall, is now manifesting events that grab the world’s attention.
Drawing attention to the increasing prevalence of sin, Pastor Kilpatrick noted the rise of blatant rebellion against God, indicating a significant shift in societal values. He connected this surge in lawlessness to the prophesied manifestation of the Earth in response to the prevailing sin.
Pastor Kilpatrick then delved into the idea that creation possesses a form of intelligence. He pointed out that animals, trees and even the Earth itself exhibit an awareness of impending natural disasters. This understanding laid the groundwork for the main points he aimed to convey.
The sermon then transitioned into three key points:
1. Cause and Effect of Human Actions: Pastor Kilpatrick elucidated that the sins committed by individuals have a direct and extraordinary impact on the land. He emphasized the biblical principle that actions have consequences and that the choices people make can affect the environment.
2. God’s Judgment Manifested through the Land: The pastor underscored the biblical truth that the Earth, as part of God’s creation, responds to the sin of humanity. He highlighted instances in the Bible where God’s judgment was manifested through the land, drawing attention to the current state of the world as evidence of this divine principle.
3. Healing and Cleansing of the Land: Despite the grim consequences of sin, the sermon also conveyed a message of hope. Pastor Kilpatrick explained that, through repentance and adherence to God’s ways, the land can be healed, cleansed, and made whole.
The sermon further detailed four specific sins mentioned in the Bible that defile the land:
a. Idolatry: Pastor Kilpatrick discussed the consequences of worshiping false gods and emphasized the exclusive nature of worshiping the one true God through Jesus Christ. Pointing to the story of Elijah versus the prophets of Baal, Kilpatrick noted that God will send the rain after true repentance of the people is brought forward. Without it, the droughts remain.
b. Immorality and Sexual Sin: The pastor addressed the biblical stance on sexual immorality, including homosexuality, highlighting the scriptural warnings against such practices. When these lifestyles become socially accepted, the cultures that allow them begin to degrade on all levels of society.
c. Shedding of Innocent Blood: Connecting to current societal issues, Pastor Kilpatrick spoke passionately about the shedding of innocent blood and its repercussions on the land. He drew attention to the biblical perspective on the sanctity of life, and that America’s sin of abortion is profoundly affecting the land.
d. Broken Covenants: The sermon concluded with a powerful message about the importance of honoring covenants, both with God and with one another. Pastor Kilpatrick emphasized the consequences of breaking these sacred agreements and urged listeners to uphold their commitments.
The timely sermon served as a call to understanding the profound relationship between sin and the Earth’s manifestations. Pastor Kilpatrick passionately implored individuals to heed the warnings, repent and seek God’s mercy to bring healing and restoration to the land. The overarching message was clear: Sin has consequences, but there is hope in turning back to God and His ways.

Overall a timely warning: But when he says the Earth here, he means the dirt–not the nations or peoples–and that is a mistake, as the dirt does not have a God-given intelligence that causes bad things to show up in Nature. What we are seeing–as in Sodom–is the absence of God’s blessing in Nature, due to the great sin of the people. God has withdrawn from Nature and we see bad stuff in Nature because we reap that when we sow sin. We reap the curse of sin in our world. But dirt or earth does not have an intelligence. When we say the Earth speaks of the sin of the land, it is effective communication but in a strictly poetic sense. By the way, I love Pastor Kilpatrick. I took part in the great Father’s Visitation of the Holy Spirit, after it had been going for a while. I love his heart for connecting us with the Spirit of God so that we experience Him. I did at Pensacola. So did my wife. Unforgettable.
