Today, in many jurisdictions, is "Indigenous People's Day" [instead of the traditional Columbus Day]. A group of IFA state leaders and contributing writers collaborated on a thorough, Biblical prayer guide on praying for revival in First Nations. We bring you this excerpt to intercede on this important topic.

In 1975, during a conference on American Indian evangelism, Dr. Billy Graham declared his belief in a coming spiritual awakening among the Native American nations. "You are a sleeping giant, the original American," he said. "You are now awakening. Just around the corner, you may become a spiritual superpower in this country that could change not only America, but the world."

That belief took hold among many ministries and churches already established and at work among Native Americans. Then, in 2016, filmmaker Greg Miller produced a documentary titled "Awakened: The Spiritual Destiny of the First Americans," in which many pastors and leaders expressed their sense that the spiritual revival predicted by Dr. Graham was beginning to unfold.

There are 574 federally recognized Native American tribes, most of whom live on 325 reservations. A Christ awakening among them is slowly unfolding—slowly, because the strongholds against the Gospel of Jesus are many and have deep roots. satan is using those to resist the promised revival because he knows that its impact on America and the world will be great.

Perhaps that is why the Lord has begun indicating recently that He is preparing ignition points of spiritual revival around the country that involve Native American nations, and that each of those will require sustained, insightful, Spirit-led spiritual warfare and intercession to destroy the strongholds satan has erected.

So far, two of those—the Upper St. Croix Valley, in Wisconsin and Minnesota; and Henderson County, in Texas—have seen catalytic prayer events touching off a movement of united, strategic prayer to welcome a move of the Holy Spirit. It is significant that the spiritual research ahead of these events led local leaders to the injustices and atrocities committed against Native American nations in the area as one of the footholds for resistance against the Gospel. This has encouraged us to believe that an awakening that begins with the Native American nations will lead to reconciliation and to a healing of the wounds of the past, as well as to a new, widespread brotherhood in Christ that has so far existed only sporadically—a brotherhood with the potential to be an example of unity and of a changing America.

This prayer guide is organized around three parts: Seven Strongholds Against the Gospel in Native American Culture; The Need for One Voice; Issues Facing the Native American Church. (Screengrab image: via Intercessors For America)
