On August 29th, Dutch Sheets’ Ministry, GiveHim15, posted a very encouraging word concerning the prayer movement in America and its correlation to awakening among Native Americans. As we have continued to plant seed in the Native American Initiative we were very encouraged by what we heard the Lord saying among many ministers in this season. I have included portions of that word for you here:
Dutch Sheets shared:
“I find it very interesting that God chose to use arrowheads in the anchoring of our states [in prayer] and connecting them to America’s destiny. Yahweh is intentional; He does nothing without purpose. Holy Spirit could have chosen many things for this prophetic act, yet He opted for items made by Native Americans. This is significant.
I have no doubt that God intends to include the native people in the coming revival. He spoke to me very strongly regarding this several years ago. I should add, it isn’t that God chose not to include them in past revivals - it is always His will to save - but for various reasons harvest “fields” ripen at different times. I and others feel the First Nations people of America have reached one of these harvest seasons. Not only will many of them be born again, but it is obviously God’s will that they share in the destiny of this land. The native people have important roles in God’s Kingdom plans, just as we all do. The way they were pushed aside and mistreated by many early European Americans was evil, and left deep wounds. But God wants to do a strong work of healing, reconciliation, and restoration…
…My heart was deeply stirred as I listened and agreed with Mary’s prayer at Cape Henry. It has now been transcribed, and I want you also to hear it and agree with her.”
Mary’s Prayer:
“In Jesus’ Name, I pray over every single one of these arrowheads. Each of them has been touched by the First Nations people - who knows how many years ago - but God has now brought them into our hands for this season. Hear our petitions, God, and touch these arrowheads with Your destiny for this nation. Father, in the name of Jesus Christ, return our land toward covenantal First Nations roots, and restore a righteous destiny. As we, First Nations people, have forgiven the traumas of the past, we set our faces forward to march shoulder to shoulder as one family with the governmental family of God, the Ekklesia [The Church], full of the Holy Ghost and power.
We will no longer allow false breaches to separate us. We will not walk in woundedness from the past. We will not look back, but we will look ahead and move forward to our destiny.
Let the voice of the warriors in every state resound with power and authority. Let the love of Christ be our bond of unity. The sleeping giant is waking up and getting to her feet, and Your voice, Lord, is beginning to resound in the mouth of the Ekklesia. The lions are roaring again, and the lions are full of Holy Ghost power.
Even as the First Nations leaders have been anointing, commissioning, teaching, praying, and empowering... so the Native Americans are waking up NOW! They are getting to their feet NOW! They’re beginning to declare NOW!
And as we send out these arrowheads, let the land shake with the destiny You have determined for it, and let every Native voice begin to resound with power! Let every Native voice begin to declare over the nation of America, ‘Awaken! Awaken! Awaken! Get to your feet! Get ready now, for the King is coming! The King is coming! The King is coming!’
This is a now time! It is the time for you to shake off the clothes of the past. It is time for you to link arms with the church. It is time for you to stand to your feet with boldness and courage. There is no more hesitation. There is no more brokenness that will hold you back. There is no more trauma, no more lies of the enemy that will hold you back. You carry the fire of God in your belly, and you carry the arrows of the Lord in your mouth. And as we bury these arrowheads in every single state, then every state is given the opportunity to partner with their First Nations, to move ahead past old traumas, and to begin to walk into a fresh victory! In the Name of Jesus, amen.”
