Prologue|The Land Speaks: Breaking Land Curses through the Heavenly Court


In July 2025, I was invited by the Marketplace Apostolic Center in Malaysia to embark on a journey of teaching, ministry, and spiritual discernment.

As Amos 3:7 declares, “Surely the Sovereign Lord does nothing without revealing his plan to his servants the prophets.” Throughout this journey, the Lord continued to unveil how His Kingdom governance—through the Ekklesia—begins with the land. From this starting point, heavenly order is activated, and step by step, the Babylonian system entrenched in workplaces and cities is confronted and overturned.

I took on the role of a witness and recorder—observing, listening, and documenting how God reveals the principles of His righteous governance.

In this clash that directly impacts Kingdom destiny, the involvement of the Heavenly Court is no longer optional—it is essential. Without spiritual reversal, redress, and alignment taking place in the heavenly realm, earthly governance efforts will remain hindered, and the release of spiritual inheritance will be delayed.

This is why land governance is not just a side issue—it is the very starting point and strategic gateway for the confrontation between the Babylonian system and the Kingdom of God.

How Gateway Cities Activate Spiritual Governance

During this journey in Malaysia, I visited Malacca, Kuala Lumpur, and Penang—cities that are not only significant in geography and history but are also spiritual gateways where destinies converge. Historically, the gospel first landed through the ports of these cities. While their geographical and cultural resources are undeniably important, what carries even greater weight is the underlying spiritual governance structure and the transfer of authority tied to their divine destinies.

1. Revelation from Malacca: History, Land, and Spiritual Redress

On the first day we arrived in Malacca, we encountered a key divine helper—Sister Irene. She shared in detail the history of the land, especially the account of St. Francis Xavier, who, after being rejected by the local ruler, left with a pronounced curse, stamping his foot as he departed.

This was more than a historical anecdote; it was an unresolved spiritual case. As she spoke, the Holy Spirit immediately impressed upon me: “This is the moment for you to break the curse over this land.” In that instant, I understood—God was calling us to initiate a spiritual redress on behalf of Malacca, to contend for justice and to shift the land from a posture of rejection to one of welcome and restoration.

2. Court Activation: Releasing Peace and Making Covenant with the Land

During early morning prayer before we left Malacca, the Lord gave me two key scriptures:

Matthew 10:11–13 (NIV):
“Whatever town or village you enter, search there for some worthy person and stay at their house… If the home is deserving, let your peace rest on it; if it is not, let your peace return to you."

Numbers 6:24–26 (NIV):
“The Lord bless you and keep you… the Lord turn his face toward you and give you peace."

Then the Lord spoke clearly:
“You are the missionary I have now sent to this land.
A hundred years ago, they rejected My servant, and peace was withdrawn.
But today, because they have received you, I want you to release My peace over this land again.”

So we went to the exact site where St. Francis Xavier had once declared a curse over the city—the City Cross. There, we activated the Heavenly Court and stood together with the local Peranakan Chinese believers to present a spiritual petition and appeal for redress.

We confessed and repented for the historical injustice, sought divine pardon and cleansing, and then renewed covenant with the land through bread and cup. As the bread and cup were placed into the soil, I sensed that more than just a historical case had been reversed—something far deeper had shifted. A spiritual gate long shut was opening again. And through our courtroom prayer, peace was once more released over this city and its land.


3. Strategic Action for Gateway Governance

From that moment on, every city we entered followed the governance pattern revealed in Malacca. We first discerned whether the city was a “land of peace” marked by the presence or rejection of missionaries. Then, using AI tools, we quickly identified key nodes of geography, logistics, trade, and local governance.

Every spiritual gateway is a critical intersection between heaven and earth. Whoever governs the gateway determines the flow of thought, resources, and spiritual influence. When the Ekklesia is absent, these gates often fall under Babylonian control and become strategic entry points for pagan systems.

Revelation 18 unveils how the Babylonian system seizes cities by establishing control over spiritual gateways, along with their systems of governance and economic infrastructure. Therefore, if we are to advance Kingdom governance, we must first identify and reclaim these occupied gates.


Divine Helpers: Finding Governance Connectors in the Land and Marketplace

From the experience in Malacca, the Holy Spirit revealed to me that Jesus’ instruction to His disciples—when entering a city—was to first look for “a person of peace” (Matthew 10:11–15). This was not merely a wise missionary tactic; it was the starting point for releasing blessing over the land and initiating governance over it. Jesus’ instruction outlines a three-step protocol: inquire, stay, release peace. This is not a strategy of forceful entry, but one of spiritual discernment—identifying the person God has appointed as the voice for the land, through whom the gateway of governance can be opened.

This is remarkably similar to the “soft landing strategy” used in modern business when expanding into foreign markets—where companies seek to adapt to unfamiliar environments through trusted partnerships and local insight. It includes finding reliable local collaborators, understanding regulations and culture, and building key relationships—all to ensure smooth operations and reduce the risk of failure due to cultural misalignment.

In Kingdom terms, entering a new territory also requires finding the local “person of peace”—those who share the vision, carry spiritual authority, and are willing to shoulder the cost of transformation. This is not just strategic; it is deeply spiritual. It enables the Kingdom mission to take root and grow. As we consider governance and missions from a spiritual perspective, we must adopt similar soft-landing mindsets.

On every piece of land, God has already positioned divine helpers—spiritual allies willing to carry the burden of transformation with us. They know the land’s history and spiritual landscape. They are bridge-builders, fluent in the local culture and network. When we discern them, align with them, and walk with them, we effectively locate the entry point to spiritual governance.

Through this process, I also came to realize how vital it is to honor the indigenous people in matters of land governance. As the original covenant-holders with the land, even if their authority was once stripped, the land still remembers their names and bloodline. Honoring them is a spiritual signal—declaring to the land: “I choose to align with God’s original design for governance.” Such alignment reopens the land’s blessing and releases rightful inheritance.

Heavenly Court : How Spiritual Judgments Break the Babylonian System

Once we’ve discerned the spiritual gateways and connected with local divine helpers, the next core action is this: to reclaim the governance of land that has been occupied by the Babylonian system. This is the spiritual confrontation described in the book of Revelation.

This battle is not fought through human strategy or resource mobilization, but through spiritual judgments and legitimate alignment with Heaven’s order. This is precisely where the Heavenly Court plays a pivotal role in both workplace and land governance.

The foundation of the Babylonian system is often built on blood covenants, land curses, economic bondage, and cultural distortion—reinforced by spiritual powers, generational altars, and dark oaths. If we fight only on the earthly level—through money, resources, or technical means—we may find ourselves stuck. However, the Heavenly Court offers a unique legal-spiritual solution: by presenting cases through confession, intercession, repentance, and alignment, we bring earthly injustices into Heaven’s courtroom, where God Himself renders judgment and issues decrees.

While in Kuala Lumpur, I heard powerful testimonies from several business leaders working in land-related industries. One CEO shared how his company was facing imminent land repossession by the government and an astronomical compensation fine. With no options left, he turned to the Heavenly Court. Following the Holy Spirit’s guidance, he repented and filed a petition in Heaven’s court regarding the company’s legal right to the land. What followed was miraculous: a buyer appeared quickly, and the compensation issue was completely resolved.

These testimonies from Malaysian entrepreneurs stirred a question in me: Why is the Heavenly Court so effective? I began to realize—it is because by presenting a legitimate spiritual case, unjust earthly judgments are overturned, and systemic governance is reset and restored.

This insight has since led me to explore how the Heavenly Court can be more widely applied in cross-border business expansion and land transformation strategies.

Marketplace leaders can apply this same spiritual strategy. When issues of land ownership, contracts, or corporate governance are rooted in injustice or historical wounds, executing a case in the Heavenly Court is not merely a spiritual cleansing—it is legally contending for the future of one’s enterprise, laying down a curse-free economic path for the next generation. This is not just a religious practice; it is a spiritual responsibility at the governance level.


Conclusion|From Ground-Level Pioneering to Heavenly Governance

Over the past two weeks in Malaysia, our journey through the land has activated key connections between the Heavenly Court and Kingdom governance through the Ekklesia. This experience brought a deep realization: Kingdom expansion is not solely the task of missionaries or pastors—it is the governance responsibility of every believer in the marketplace, wherever their feet tread.
We are not only pioneers on the ground; we are enforcers of heavenly rule.

The battlefield of Kingdom governance is not somewhere in the clouds—
it is on the very ground beneath our feet.

I will continue to share these insights through future writings, with the hope that more sons and daughters of God will rise up—boldly stepping into this final battleground over the land, applying the authority of the Heavenly Court and executing Kingdom governance on earth, until the inheritance of nations is restored and transformed.
