THIS LAND IS NOT YOUR LAND IT IS NOT MY LAND IT IS HIS LAND

 

Whose Land Is This, Really? — The Spiritual Battle Over Canada’s Territory

Canada is in the midst of a land battle — but not the kind most people think. Yes, courts are deciding whether vast swaths of property belong to the Crown, private owners, or Indigenous nations. But underneath that legal drama is a deeper, older conflict: Who holds spiritual authority over this land?

1. The True Owner of the Land

From the day God spoke creation into being, there was no question who the land belongs to.
“The earth is the LORD’s, and everything in it, the world, and all who live in it.” (Psalm 24:1)
“By Him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth… all things have been created through Him and for Him.” (Colossians 1:16)
Every acre of Canada — from the Atlantic surf to the Pacific tide, from the tundra to the prairies — is God’s property. Nations, tribes, and governments are stewards, not owners. That truth does not change based on court decisions, political pressures, or cultural sentiment.

2. The Spiritual Dimension of Land Claims

The Bible makes it clear: nations are connected to their gods. The land is tied to worship.
- In Deuteronomy 32:8–9, God allots nations their inheritance and boundaries.
- In Daniel 10, “princes” — spiritual powers — stand over regions.

When we publicly declare that we stand on land belonging to the gods of another faith, we’re making a spiritual agreement. In the unseen realm, that’s not symbolic — it’s covenantal. It gives spiritual claim and legitimacy to powers that are not the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.

Land acknowledgments that invoke traditional spiritual ownership are, in effect, acts of submission — and the Church, of all people, should know better.

3. Canada’s Founding Covenant

This nation did not start in spiritual neutrality. Canada’s founders openly recognized Jesus Christ as the rightful sovereign.
- Psalm 72:8 — “He shall have dominion from sea to sea” — is carved into the Parliament buildings and enshrined in the nation’s vision.
- The very name “Dominion of Canada” comes from that verse.
- Canadian Parliament has historically opened with prayers acknowledging Christ as LORD.
- Even the preamble to Canada’s Charter of Rights and Freedoms begins: “Whereas Canada is founded upon principles that recognize the supremacy of God and the rule of law…”

Our governmental DNA is not agnostic — it is rooted in a public acknowledgment of the Lordship of Jesus Christ.

4. The Silence of the Modern Church

And yet, in this present debate, the Church has been muted — offering no prophetic challenge to the spiritual implications of surrendering territorial claim to other gods.
- Instead of clarifying that reconciliation begins at the Cross, many congregations have folded into the cultural script.
- In doing so, the Church has left the field open for the god of this age (2 Corinthians 4:4) to claim spiritual authority over land, law, and culture.

5. The Consequence of Ceding the Ground

In Scripture, when Israel ceded spiritual allegiance to other gods, the natural result was loss of territory, civil unrest, and national decline.
The same principle applies here: what happens in the spirit manifests in the natural. When we bow to the gods of the nations, we invite the erosion of godly governance and the collapse of moral authority.

6. The Call to Stand

This is not a call to dismiss the need for justice or to ignore past wrongs. But justice must be aligned with Truth — and Truth is a Person: Jesus Christ.

The Church must recover its voice, reclaim the nation’s founding acknowledgment of Christ, and speak into the legal and cultural arenas with clarity:
- This land belongs to the LORD.
- We will not bow to other gods.
- We call this nation back to its covenant foundations.

If Canada forgets the God who gave it Dominion, we will be dominated by the gods of the nations. But if we return to Him, acknowledging His Son as rightful ruler from sea to sea, He will establish justice in our gates and peace in our land.
