In some respects, the plight of Native Americans hasn’t changed. They face troubling circumstances with issues ranging from substance abuse to a massive COVID-19 impact, to an alarming number of missing and murdered women.

“There’s a lot of broken areas, broken communities, and our communities are rampant with drugs,” Crow Tribe member Donna Stands-Over-Bull told CBN News.

God is Moving

Yet, in the midst of the suffering, Stands-Over-Bull and her husband Russell say God is on the move.

“We can feel and sense the rumblings of revival, and when I say revival I mean people’s hearts turning back to God,” she shared. . . .

The senior pastors of Arrow Creek TV e-church said God called them to start the online fellowship in 2018.

“We couldn’t even comprehend what that would look like, but God put it on our hearts, and we began to establish Arrow Creek TV,” Russell told CBN News. “And Millennials started coming to the church, and I’m so proud of my congregation. We’ve got the best. We’ve got five continents represented.”

“We probably represent the biggest church in the Indian community throughout the U.S.,” he continued.

Deep Revival Roots

Russell said the Pentecostal roots of revival run deep in his family and the Crow Nation. His mother, Sharon Stands-Over-Bull, is also a pastor and Crow elder. She recalled how in 1906, her grandmother attended the Azusa Street Revival in California.

“While they were there, they were privileged to receive the Holy Spirit, and they came back to the Crow Reservation, proclaiming that God is Lord over the Crow Reservation,” Sharon told CBN News.

“Whole communities were touched by the fire of the Holy Spirit, and the Crows eventually became known throughout Indian Country as the center for Pentecost,” explained Russell. “This was the capital for Pentecost, and still is considered that by many neighboring tribes.”

‘Jesus Christ is Lord’

Leaders of the Crow Tribe have even put up a sign which boldly proclaims that “Jesus Christ is Lord on the Crow Nation”. It also has a Scripture that reads, “Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord; and the people whom he hath chosen for his own inheritance.” — Psalm 33:12 KJV

In addition, the southeast Montana tribe passed a 2013 legislative resolution “to honor God for his great blessings upon the Crow Tribe and to proclaim Jesus Christ as Lord of the Crow Indian Reservation.” They also fly the flag of Israel next to the sign.

This article for Pentecostal Holy Spirit revival among the Crow Nation’s people did my heart good, I grew up on the Flathead Reservation (also known as Salish-Kootenai) in Montana. As the Stands-Over-Bull and other Crow leaders are fulfilling the Great Commision from Mark 16:15 to, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel…” they no doubt, are also fulfilling the Great Commandment. It says, to LOVE the Lord your God with all your heart, soul and strength…and LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF. (Mark 12:30-31)
Arrow Creek TV eChurch is a wonderful example of both! God Bless this ministry! We send our prayers of agreement that Revival is coming, leading to an Awakening birthed out of our First Nation’s people.
“Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit” says the Lord of Hosts.

Abba, thank you for fueling the revival fires in our Native America tribes. Raise up mighty spiritual warriors and laborers for your kingdom. Use their testimonies to bring hope to the multitudes. Bless ministries like Ron Hutchcrafts On Eagles Wings and others who are doing great works of evangelism. Bless Arrow Creek TV and bring the increase. Thank you for this good news! May your light shine forth through all Native American Tribes and peoples. To you all glory and honor and power! In Jesus name, Amen.

“Awakened” is a documentary about this wonderful move of God. In one segment, several individuals met in Sedona, AZ to pray against the spiritualism that is practiced there. Sedona is breathtaking beyond belief but even more were the prayers offered to God Almighty as they interceded on a glorious overlook. I was moved to tears.

Isaiah 45:5,8 I am the LORD, and there is no other; there is no God but Me. I will equip you for battle, though you have not known Me…Drip down, O heavens, from above and let the clouds pour down righteousness; let the earth open up and salvation bear fruit, and righteousness spring up with it. I, the Lord, have created it.

Dear Heavenly Father, I thank You and praise You for the revival in the Native American Nation. Will You let the clouds above these tribes pour down righteousness? Will you open the earth to create salvation that bears fruit? You are God, there is NO other and I pray even those who do not know You will be equipped for the battle in which Your people are engaged . I pray these tribes know whom they serve, God Almighty. I pray they know salvation in Jesus Christ. Holy Spirit, I pray You will continue to power this revival for the Glory of God. I pray in the Names of The Father, The Son, and The Holy Spirit. Amen
