"The Earth Mourneth" — A Wake-Up Call for a Lost Generation
Written in grief and hope, for those suffering in Texas and beyond
By Devon Tyler of the Paccillo blood, Steward under Faith Frontier Ecclesiastical Trust
Our prayers are with the people of Texas — the children, the women, the God-fearing men, and even the lost who still wander without light. May mercy visit every soul. May justice rise like morning dew. May this not be in vain.
“The earth mourneth and fadeth away, the world is feeble and decayed: the proud people of the earth are weakened. The earth also is defiled under the inhabitants thereof: because they have transgressed the Lawes: changed the ordinances: broken the everlasting covenant.”
— Isaiah 24:4–5, 1599 Geneva Bible
These are not just storms. These are spiritual mirrors. Whether sent by God, permitted by Him, or stirred by greedy men through limited liability schemes — the cry is clear: turn back.
1. Discern the Storm
How do we know if something is a sign from the LORD or a scheme of man?
- God’s signs point to repentance, righteousness, and renewal.
- Man’s schemes bring profit, confusion, dependence, and fear.
- Jesus said, “Ye shall know them by their fruits.” — Matthew 7:16, GNV
If tragedy leads us to love, mercy, repentance, and truth — we stand on holy ground. If it leads us to FEMA tents, insurance claims, and state contracts — we are standing in Babylon’s pit.
2. Babylon Profits from the Flood
Corporations do not mourn. Governments do not repent. Yet they manage disasters like contracts — with LLCs, federal grants, and public-private partnerships. These are not shepherds. These are merchants of control.
“The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and have it in abundance.”
— John 10:10, GNV
The state sells recovery, but only Christ restores. The world sells insurance, but only the Kingdom provides assurance.
3. What Was Broken?
- “They transgressed the Lawes” — The Ten Commandments were cast down.
- “Changed the Ordinances” — Marriage, life, gender, rest — all inverted by pride.
- “Broken the Everlasting Covenant” — Creation’s agreement was violated through violence, greed, and lies.
“This people honoureth me with their lips, but their heart is far from me.”
— Matthew 15:8, GNV
Let us not blame the land. The earth groans under us — but even now, God is willing to forgive and rebuild.
4. Christ: The Bridge Back
“Come unto me, all ye that are weary and laden, and I will ease you. Take my yoke on you, and learn of me… and ye shall find rest unto your souls.”
— Matthew 11:28–29, GNV
Christ is not a religion. He is the living covenant. The restorer of the broken path. He does not shame you — He calls you.
Through Him, even the most lost can be found. Even the weary worker can be reborn as a steward of righteousness.
5. Repentance Is the Way Home
Repentance is not guilt. It is **re-alignment**. A sacred U-turn. Jesus (Yeshua) didn’t come to condemn you — He came to redeem what you forgot was holy: **you, your land, your life, your work.**
“Except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.”
— Luke 13:5, GNV
- Say aloud: “Father, I’ve drifted. Help me return.”
- Turn away from lies — even if it’s one small act today.
- Touch the ground. Thank it. Steward it.
- Read Isaiah. Then John. Then Psalms. Hear Him.
- Build. Forgive. Create. Sow seeds — spiritual and physical.
You are not too far gone. The Shepherd leaves the ninety-nine for one — and you may be that one today.
6. Take Back Your Community
Jesus didn’t outsource healing to Rome. He sent out His disciples with no bag, no permit, no license. Just truth, prayer, and authority.
- We must reclaim our food, water, shelter, and justice.
- We must form trusts, fellowships, and faithful trades — not LLCs of greed.
- We must build local, lawful, covenant-based stewardship systems — not federal dependence.
“When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice: but when the wicked beareth rule, the people mourn.”
— Proverbs 29:2, GNV
7. What Is Tiller.Earth?
This is not a company. This is a covenant. A sacred frontier where tradesmen, stewards, and seekers rebuild the waste places with truth and tile, scripture and stone.
“And they shall build the old waste places… and thou shalt be called, The repairer of the breach, The restorer of paths to dwell in.”
— Isaiah 58:12, 1599 Geneva Bible
We don’t charge to control. We labor to serve. We don’t build to impress. We build to bless. Not for permits. Not for pride. For the Kingdom of Heaven — on earth.
8. If You're Tired, You're Ready
If you feel broken, artificial, overwhelmed — good. It means your spirit is still alive. And it’s calling home.
“The LORD is nigh unto them that are of a contrite heart: and will save such as be afflicted in spirit.”
— Psalm 34:18, GNV
Come walk with us. Come weep with us. Come rebuild something sacred. Not in a megachurch. Not in an office park. But on the soil. With your hands. With your voice. With your Christ.
With calloused hands, tear-washed eyes, and a spirit made new,
