First Nations Healing Coalition

Much of what First Nations Healing Coalition (FNHC) will be doing involves developing and initiating prayer based strategies to, not only, bring healing and restoration to wounded and traumatized Native Americans, but to also see healing and restoration released into the land.  Our two-pronged strategy is to heal the people and heal the land.

Land Defilement Concepts

Interestingly, the same revelatory biblical concepts applied for individuals to be set free, healed, and restored are the same principles used to see the land cleansed, healed and restored from the corporate sins of people groups that have defiled it. The same way a person can be wounded and traumatized by horrific events, so too can the land be traumatized and dramatically affected when bloody massacres take place or when occult ceremonies or rituals occur in certain places. Therefore, God says, “the lands mourns” (Jer.12:11) and that “all of creation groans” – “waiting for the manifestation of the sons of God” (Rom. 8:19-22).  I believe the reason the land mourns and groans is because of the death and defilement that has been released upon it. Just as mankind needs to be redeemed from the curse of the law, so too must the land be released and redeemed from the curse that comes upon it as a result of the corporate sin that defiles it. Jeremiah said, “because of a curse the land mourns” (Jere. 23:10). The curse associated with sin not only affects mankind but all of creation.  Defiled or spiritually unclean people or land gives Satan and his demonic hosts legal right of access to the land or people that are unclean.  Thus, Satan has the legal right to reign and rule, to exercise his authority over that which is unclean.  This is why God encourages his leaders to teach His people to discern the difference between the clean and the unclean (Ezek. 44:22). Through his authority over the land Satan and his evil armies are able to establish and maintain canopies of darkness over land areas that have been traumatized by corporate defilement.  This is a major way that he blinds the minds of those who do not receive the glorious gospel of Christ (2 Cor. 4:3-4). As a consequence of the spiritual dynamics outlined above, FNHC seeks to raise up First Nations prayer leaders and intercessors to form strategic intervention teams. Their primary purpose will be to identify and prayerfully close ancient spiritual gates that have been opened by their ancestors, gates that have given God’s enemies legal right of access to the land.

North America’s Host People

God says He has appointed the original people groups on the various continents as the ancient people (Isa. 44:7). He says that He has determined their pre-appointed times and the boundaries of their dwellings (Acts 17:26). He declares that His gifts and callings upon nations and peoples are unalterable (Rom. 11:29). The above Scriptures and others indicate that God has appointed North America’s First Nations tribal groups as the continent’s Host People.

Years ago, God confirmed this concept to us, when He said, “because Native People are the Host People of North America, they have an authority that other ethnic groups do not have, and that whatever they embrace and endorse will have maximum effect. “   This word of the Lord has been confirmed over and over again as First Nations teams have effectively prayed on the land to open and close gates.

North America's Host People were designated by God to be the original gatekeepers and stewards of the land.  This means they have been given the first right to redeem the land, and as the original gatekeepers they are responsible for dealing with any foundational layers of iniquity or transgression in the land. This also means they have a vital role in seeing revival, and God’s kingdom made manifest here in North America. Many church leaders have come to acknowledge that America’s redemptive purpose can never be realized without the inclusion of First Nations people.

All one has to do is examine the historical record to see how Satan has strategically sought to destroy, disenfranchise, impoverish, and marginalize First Nations people so they might never understand, embrace, and function in God’s plan for Jesus Christ to be established as Lord of North America.  

As a consequence FNHC seeks to facilitate the healing and restoration of North America’s Native populations that they might step up and into their role as the Host People. For God’s healing and restoration to be fully implemented we believe it should ultimately result in fulfilling His redemptive purpose, both individually and corporately. For FNHC the healing and restoration of America so it might fulfill its redemptive purpose is a chief goal.

Prayer Points for the First Nations Healing Coalition and for Native Peoples:

• Ask God to bless FNHC by granting us the grace that we would do nothing to hinder His very presence from brooding over our every plan, activity, and initiative.

• Ask God to convict FNHC and all its members to continually pursue personal wholeness and His biblical call to sanctification and spiritual cleanliness.

• Ask God to supply all that FNHC needs to fulfill His call upon the Host People, i.e., finances, land, physical plants, and humble and gifted human resources.

• Ask God to reveal to FNHC leaders and members His specific directions for carrying out the missions He has placed upon our hearts.

• Ask that all things would be confirmed in two or three witnesses.

• Pray that Native believers in North America and around the world would be healed from historical traumas through mistreatment by others and arise to their unique calling and destiny in the Lord.

• Pray that the spiritual blindness and oppression that has kept Native People from responding to the Gospel would be broken and the oppressing spiritual powers bound that have afflicted them.

• Pray for reconciliation and unity to be established between Native tribes and for other Christians to include them in the church and prayer movements as much valued partners.
