Somewhere in his life he had known that Jesus wore a crown of thorns for him. Somewhere in his life he had seen the beautiful face of Jesus personally beckoning him to come and follow Him. This man is a believer. His seeing Jesus had been one of the very few times that he had really gotten excited. Yet the excitement had been short lived. He had slumped back into the boredom and meaningless of life without the Lord. He had even known that faith comes by hearing and knew that God’s word must be applied to his life. Yet this had not taken deep effect either within his life.
I saw that the problem lied in that this
man’s bondages, and hurts that was far too great. His spirit was wounded, and his mind was oppressed. This
warrior lived behind a mask of pain, grief, insecurity, and fear. I, Jose, have been in a deliverance
ministry for seven years. I can
tell you that this man needed a great deal of personal ministry.
I then felt Jesus’ heart almost sob as He looked
for help towards the many Anglo ministers that had already experienced
deliverance and healing in their lives.
These men of God had been raised up and taught of the Lord. However, most of them had their sights
and plans somewhere else. They had
little understanding of, or interest in raising up and discipling their Native
brethren. The same was the case
with the Afro American men of God.
There attention was somewhere else. I, Jose then thought of this
scripture.
Isa 59:16 ¶ And he saw that there was no man, and wondered that there was no intercessor: therefore his arm brought salvation unto him; and his righteousness, it sustained him.
As this visionless warrior contemplated a
television set, images started to be displayed to him of people through out the
world more needy and more hurting than himself. The Gamines of Colombia, South America; these are the street
children so covered with dirt and grime that you cannot identify them, and
those families in the Philippines that live on top of the garbage dumps. The people in Africa that are either
dying from starvation, or don’t even have a well from where they can drink
water. Then I saw a picture of the
whole globe and knew that God is calling us there.
Suddenly, supernatural healing and
deliverance started to come to the warrior apart from human hands, deliverance,
or personal ministry given unto him.
I saw a large Kenneth Copeland Bible convention filled with many Anglo
and Afro American people. They all
had their Bibles opened and were intently looking at them. Surprisingly the Native warrior
standing there in the process of now getting supernaturally healed also seemed
to be bypassing the need to attend these conferences and seminars. God was doing something supernatural in
his life that bypassed his need for much personal ministry and Bible teaching,
if he would be willing to obey the call of the Lord to be sent as a missionary
abroad and around the world. I
believe the word “My Turn” is God speaking to the NA saying to him or her “It
is Your Turn!” The call would take
some conflict. This is the end of
the prophecy.
I would like to make some comments to
this prophecy. I want to title the
prophecy “ The Last Shall be First”.
If we remember the words of Jesus, “the last shall be first” is a
spiritual principle. A principle
is a law. A law tells us that
under certain conditions other corresponding conditions will always come to
pass. Thus, those that have been
last to be raised up or used by the Lord because of circumstances, the attacks of
the enemy etc. shall be first, once they are raised up. Let me further explain. When I was growing up in Miami I spent
nine years as a celibate unmarried believer. Almost all of my friends got married before me and I
was left to the end. I became upset with the Lord because it seemed that I had
been more committed and obedient than all of my friends, and yet I was left at
to the end.
However when I finally met my lovely wife
Mary and got married it has been like a marriage made in heaven. We have fit like two gloves together
hand in hand. We got our family
raised and built up before most other couples did, and were one of the very
first families to be commissioned and sent out by the Lord from our church. Truly it was the principle of the last
shall be first. We can also see
this law work in the life of Joseph when he was thrown into the dungeon and
sold into slavery. Though his
brothers thought he was gone, and Joseph went through untold suffering,
suddenly God exalted him to be first.
So was with David. He
seemed to be finished when Saul tried to assassinate him so many times. Suddenly God exalted him to be
king. Moses was the same way. An old man of 80, all vision and hope
gone that he would deliver Israel; suddenly God exalted him to the top.
If you read reread the two prophecies,
the one about the “Young Warrior” and the one about the “Native believer” you
see how supernatural transitions suddenly happened to the Native believer or
how quickly he was healed.
I have been a believer for twenty-one
years. My deliverance and my
healing have been a long process over time. Twenty-one years later I am still
being delivered. I cannot tell you
how many Bible conferences and seminars I have been too.
I have been truly amazed at the
suddenness of deliverance, healing, and the ministerial calling being offered
to Native believers now at this time when it is “Their Turn”. Truly God is executing the principle of
the “last shall be first”. God is
ready to bypass much of the process and time that we as Anglos have had to go
through in order to be raised up.
Secondly I am impressed that in two prophecies the believer is
rightfully in his or her regalia. God is saying. When I created you, I created you as warriors. You are and shall always be warriors. Secondly, and as we know the Indian
culture is from the Lord. The
white missionaries were deceived to try to take it away.
Thirdly the Native believer is divinely
equipped to be tremendously effective missionaries. Why? Because of
what they have suffered, they are spiritually prepared and fit to minister to
so many that are so deeply hurting.
Most Anglos have not suffered like that. They cannot minister on most levels to these suffering ones
like Native believers.
In conclusion, prophecy will only be prophecy
until it is acted upon. We can talk and talk about it. Only when it is acted
upon, the full manifestation and understanding of it will come forth. Where are the mighty Native men and
women warriors that will take to heart the conflict and the challenge of the
Lord’s call in getting up and going into all the world as a witness to the
great principle of the “last shall be first” executed upon a whole people
group, to the admiration of the world and the glory of our Lord? What Satan
meant for evil God has turned around for good!
