Wounded Warrior

Wounded Warrior

Prophecy of the Lord given to Jose Alvarez on 4/18/2000



I saw a Native American man severely wounded with a deep gashing spear injury to the right side of his body. I know from the Lord that right side represents the side of action and activity. This I would gather could be a reason why many Native believers still find it difficult to be active in their faith. I then heard the words “ the devil” and looked up to see a white man. I realized that to this severely wounded Native man as to probably many others like him, the white man represented “a devil.”

Then I saw that God had placed in front of this man wide open doors for him to go through, yet he was unable to go through them. He would get right up to the doors, but something paralyzed him that simply made him unable to through them. It was the severity of the wound that made it impossible for him to proceed. As he staggered through the roads of life I saw him still captive in his mind and soul to the torturous path of the “Trail of Tears.”

I then saw this Native American regard the white man first through eyes of deep mistrust, then intimidation, afterwards inferiority, and finally as a stern rebuker and corrector of what he the Native American was doing.It made no difference to the Native American man if this white man was a lost sinner or a preacher.The concept was still the same to him. The Word of God was seen in this same light. Even at the appearance of Jesus, through the stain glass windows of these painful bondages, the Native man beheld Him just as he did all the others.

As God showed me all of this, I Jose became increasingly agitated and confused exclaiming, “Lord what is the answer?”

The Lord then said to me, “ The white man, the white Christian brethren, the one who caused the pain must now come and take the spear out of his brethren’s side and minister healing to the Native American.

I then saw a white man, whom I believed was a believer come to the right side of this Native man. However, he was hardly visible. His motions were so subtle, his presence was so transparent and almost invisible, that I could hardly discern, feel him, or see him, in the prophecy. As I waited on the Lord, I almost missed this white man ministering to the Native man as he suddenly became healed from the paralyzing wound. The white man finished ministering to the Native man to then vanish out of sight never to be seen again within the prophecy. Suddenly it was as if this Native man wakes up, sees who he is and what he can become. The pain is gone. The prophecy finishes by him gazing at a white preacher and feeling no pain whatsoever by his presence.

The presence of an almost invisible white man that comes by the side of the Native man to minister to him is part of an ongoing message that God has placed in my heart for more than two years.



When we ministered in Tuba City at the heart of the Dine Nation, God’s message to the congregation was one of exhortation to become an active and valuable part of Christ’s body fully operating in the gifting and callings of

When God had us begin a Bible study to the Pueblo Nations of New Mexico, His words to us were “Make this into a Bible study that will raise up ministers amongst the Pueblo people.”

This prophecy had the same message. “Let the Native man be ministered to so that he may minister unto Me.”

It is time for all Native believers to come into the fullness of their callings and ministries.

Vitally important is the function of the Anglo brethren called to serve the Native believer.

His role is apostolic.He comes not to preach at the Native man. He comes not to take the center stage while the Native believer sits passively by. Those days are over.

The white brother or sister comes by the right side of the Native believer. This is the role of the paracletes or comforter. He comes along side to help. He comes to be reconciled to the Native brethren. He comes to minister to him the healing and ministry that are needed. He must come as a servant; he must come to lay down his life for the Native man or woman.

The Anglo brethren’s role is almost invisible, almost insignificant in the eyes of man, though not of God. He comes so that the Native believer can take the center stage. When his ministry is over he steps back so that the Native man can shine and be all that he can for the Lord. His ministry is one so that that Native believer suddenly wakes whole and free and arises to take his rightful place in God’s kingdom and destiny.
