     A great many of the Native Americans in the U.S. are currently dying in their sins, with unforgiveness in their hearts. A great many of them are dying with only resentment and hatred in their hearts. It's time for these persons to make a Peace Treaty with God. It's time to do so, and it's a treaty that is long overdue. A lot of Native Americans are angry and unhappy, and they desperately need to find peace with God through Jesus Christ.


     Listen, it may be true that human beings have broken more than 800 treaties made with the Native American tribes, but Jesus Christ is no ordinary human! When you draw up a contract with Him, you are making a treaty with God Himself. God always keeps His promises.


     A Peace Treaty with God can be made only through the blood sacrifice of Jesus Christ. It's a reliable contract that is stronger than anything else found on Earth, because it's a contract that is signed in the blood of Jesus Christ. In the eyes of God Almighty, the Father in Heaven, there is nothing more holy than that. You gain peace with God when you show respect for God the Father and His Son by acknowledging what was done for you on that day, long ago, when God's Son died on a torturous wooden cross in Jerusalem.


     When you make a treaty of this sort, it is a contract with God through Jesus Christ, and in this great deal you will receive forgiveness of your own sins, a salvation from the prospect of an eternity in Hell, and the gift of the Holy Spirit! You then gain the certainty of an Eternal Life in Heaven with Father God. You get also the ability to forgive other people for all the ways in which they have sinned against you while you are here on Earth.


     And when you are able to do that part of it right, you can also count on some extra rewards in the Afterlife. Becoming a believer in Christ means that you gain Heaven as your eternal reward, and that won't be taken away from you. But if you also show a proper forgiveness toward your enemies, you can then get some additional rewards that are promised by God to all of His True Believers.


     Your contract with Christ is a treaty with the Living God of All Creation, and your future is then assured: Jesus Christ Himself will be your Advocate in the Heavenly Court, defending your case before His Father. Your Advocate is also your Judge on Judgment Day, and that's good to know. Hey, it's nice to have a Friend in High Places.


     You really need to make a Peace Treaty With God, Who never breaks any of His promises. He's already made a peace treaty with nearly 2 billion people who are currently alive in the world, and He has never once broken a treaty that He has made. Not a one of them has He ever broken. But God will accept no peace treaty proposal except the one that comes to you through the sacrifice of His Son Jesus Christ upon that cross in Jerusalem!


     God The Father in Heaven is proud of His Son's accomplishment, and He will accept no other sacrifice.

     This matter of the unsaved Native Americans is a really pathetic situation that would make me want to cry, if I were not so determined to be instead a courageous Warrior for God.


     And that's what each of the Native Americans needs to become, likewise.

 

     Why is it such a pathetic situation? Here's why:


     Columbus went looking for the New World because he had received dreams and visions that told him he should carry the Kingdom of God to a new people at the far ends of the Earth.


     The Pilgrims and the other early settlers came to America because they wanted to create a Godly society in the New World, hoping that they would also expand the Kingdom of God in such a way that it would include all of the Native American Indians.


     And there's also the matter of David Brainerd! For Heaven's sake— what would David Brainerd think about what has become of the Native American Indians?


     In the textbook for a Christian Missions course I once completed, I read a brief biographical sketch about the lifetime of David Brainerd, and it appeared to me that he must be the most noble and devoted Christian gentlemen of whom I had ever heard. His early death at the age of 29, quickly followed by the death of his beloved Jerusha, seemed quite tragic to me... and almost like a new version of Romeo And Juliet that was specially designed for Christians.


     David Brainerd was only 29 years old when he died, but he had accomplished a very meaningful work, I thought, during his time on Earth.


     In the final weeks of his sickness, David had fallen in love with Jerusha, the 17-year old daughter of Rev. Jonathan Edwards. David had admired Jerusha ever since she was a young teen-age girl, and she had come to admire him both as a noble Christian man and as an eminent Christian missionary, totally devoted to his work with the Indians. When David died, it was her father, Rev. Jonathan Edwards, who conducted the funeral.


     Four months after David died, the grief-stricken Jerusha came down with a sickness and also died. She was only 18 when she joined David in Heaven, and she was buried right beside him.


     David Brainerd , a Presbyterian, was an early missionary to the Indians in New York, New Jersey, and in eastern Pennsylvania. He had spent years of his life just learning the language of the Indians in his untiring efforts to evangelize them. In the year 1747, he had died prematurely, at the age of only 29, from a tuberculosis infection. His early death cut short his mission work with the Indians, leaving that task unfinished.


     His gravestone says simply that he was "A faithful and laborious missionary to the Stockbridge, Delaware, and Susquehanna tribes of Indians."


     But the story of David Brainerd's devotion to the salvation of the Native American Indians later became public knowledge through a journal and diaries he had written. These were published after his death by the great preacher Jonathan Edwards, who also sparked the First Great Awakening in the U.S.


     The published records revealed David Brainerd's utter dedication to Christ, and his complete devotion to the salvation of Native Americans. These records inspired vast numbers of other Christians to also become missionaries. But most of those so inspired chose to go out to foreign countries instead. To a large extent, it was the life of David Brainerd which inspired the entire international missions effort of the British and American churches!


     That missionary movement carried Christianity to many foreign parts of the world, and today, as a result of the missionary movement that Brainerd got underway, there are over 1.5 billion Christians worldwide, in a very large number of countries.


     And the United States itself has a very high percentage of Christian believers, despite all the ungodliness and immorality that we see around us in the world today. The United States has probably the highest percentage of dedicated Christians among all the nations in the world.


     The U.S. has spent more money and more time on foreign missions than any other nation in the history of the world! We have sent forth a greater number of foreign missionaries than all other nations... probably more than all the rest of them combined!


     And yet only 5% of the Native American Indians have gotten the good news regarding the salvation we find in Jesus Christ! Only 5% of them have found salvation in Christ.


     This is a horrifying situation that is monstrously inappropriate. We need to improve this statistic quickly, so that the Christians of this nation don't look extremely foolish.


     It is ironic and quite improper that the U.S. has sent foreign missionaries all over the world, where they have often met with enormous success, and yet we have somehow neglected to evangelize the Native Americans who live within our own borders!


     I have seen with my own eyes what has happened in South Korea, where over 35% of the people are now Christian. I was proud of the Presbyterian missionaries from the U.S. who had gotten there in the 1800's, bringing so many persons in Korea to a faith in Christ. Their devotion to that cause led to its current state of development, with so many of the Korean people ultimately becoming believers in Christ!


     My own wife is a Korean woman who became a Baptist when she was only a child of elementary school age in South Korea. She was the first person in her family to be converted to faith in Christ. After her came her 4 older sisters, then her mother, and finally even her old father was converted to a faith in Jesus Christ.


     Interestingly, there is a new theory I have heard about, apparently becoming rather popular with scholars, which suggests that the ancestors of our Native Americans here in the U.S. may actually have come over to America from Korea and Mongolia— traveling by way of Alaska and Canada into the region of the current United States.


     Yet here in the United States itself, only 5% of the Native Americans have come to a faith in Jesus Christ! That is a number no greater than the percentage of Christians that currently exist in Communist China, where a regime of Marxist atheism has for many decades sought to suppress all Christian evangelism and any possible growth of the Chinese churches.


     Surely we can do better than this at winning for Christ the souls of the Native Americans, who have lived since the very beginning inside the borders of the United States!


     It is a very strange and improper situation, a desperate problem that needs to be rectified as quickly as possible!


     God is saving a remnant of people for Himself, and these are the people who have found salvation in Jesus Christ.


     There are many Native Americans who can be rescued from sin and death, so that they become a part of that Saved Population. There are more than 4 million Native Americans inside the borders of the United States. They deserve, as much as any other people of the Earth, to be part of that remnant which God is saving for His Heaven and for the New Earth.


     Non-Native Christians in the U.S. should be doing a better job of winning these lost souls to Christ, but I'm sure we cannot do the job alone. We need the guidance of God's Holy Spirit for this task. We also need to have more Native Americans involved in mission work with their own people, bringing them all the good news of salvation.


     I am hopeful that many Native American Christians will rise up now and become Warriors for Christ, bringing many of their own people to a saving faith in our Lord.

     God's Remnant is a tribe of loyal warriors that survives all the supernatural warfare of our Earth, and this group of humans will comprise a Special Harvest, a winning team that is the apple of God's eye. These warriors get an exalted position with God and are individually chosen by Him-- they are carefully picked out of the crowd by the Righteous Chief Himself. These warriors will compose an elite tribe that is destined for a special position under God's Developmental Program for His Universe. This is the overcoming remnant that will be victorious over our current world (which will one day be called Old Earth), and they are the ones whom God will use to re-populate the planet of His New Earth.


     High Father God wants YOU to join the Salvation Warriors! Become one of the Best... be smart and join the winning team! It's the only way to come out on top in the end!


     The alternative is to stay on the losing side... and then you'll end up at the bottom of a Pit of Fire, with a nasty chief named Satan and his ugly bunch of demonic followers. Woe, woe... and whoa now! Stop that horse, ‘cause I want to get off! Hey, that's a fate that shouldn't appeal to anyone with an ounce of good sense...


     Let us reiterate...


     High Father God wants YOU to join the Salvation Warriors! Become one of the Best... be smart and join the winning team! It's the only way to come out on top in the end!


     Yeah, that's right-- we're the World's Finest, the Good Guys who are "the salt of the Earth." Admittedly, we fight for truth, for what's right, and for justice... just like those "naive" police officers that a lot of people try to avoid!


     So why do we end up thinking that we're "better" than all the rest? What makes us so special-- what sets us apart from all the other evil sinners in the world?


     Only the fact that we've accepted salvation through Christ, and have thus gotten forgiveness from our sins... and the fact that we've turned to Jesus Christ as a source of Light.



     You can share the Light of Jesus Christ, can reflect His Holy Light in a Cruel World, and thus become a point of illumination in the darkness of this world.


     God's Light can become a Lamp unto your feet and a Light unto your path, if you choose to accept rescue and salvation that is available in Jesus Christ, the Only Begotten Son of God Almighty.


     You can even live to see the Light of God flowing through you and reaching out to other people in our world...!


     It's time your mind was illuminated by Jesus Christ, the Holy One Who is the Light of the World!




     The High God Almighty, Who is the Holy and Righteous Chief of the Warriors of Light, is looking for a few good riders. But He only wants the most virtuous and courageous warriors to join with Him as allies in the Cause of His Tribe... a tribe which He calls the Warriors of Light. You can share this wonderful light by placing Jesus Christ, Who in the Trinity of God created our Universe, upon a throne at the center of your heart! He deserves that position and that kind of respect. He was first God The High Son, but when born in human flesh He became the only sinless and righteous person who ever lived. Yet He sacrificed Himself on a cross for your sake, taking all guilt and sins upon Himself, in order that you and I-- that all people-- that whoever wishes for salvation might be rescued from the due punishment of sins.



     If you will do this, you will gain a new contentment and peace as you accept God The High Father's organizational plan for the Universe . . . because you'll be letting God be the High Chief of All Things in this world . . . and in your own life.


     As a new Warrior of Light, you'll be fighting for the Holy Cause of the Highest Chief, and His campaign will be a long and difficult struggle, often dangerous to life and limb. You'll be often placed in harm's way, with no shortage of enemies to battle. You will almost certainly go through a lot of pain and suffering for your devotion to the Righteous Chief. But it's all worth it, because the Most High rewards all His followers, sooner or later, with the Warriors' Heaven and the New Earth, which is a Warriors' Paradise.


     This is promised for all of the True Believers of God.


     All it really takes is a simple but sincere little prayer-- one that you should make up in your own words. The prayer for deliverance and for God's leadership should come from your own heart!


     Some important elements that you might include are:

1) your desire to turn away from the wrongness or evil of all your past life, and your remorse over all the sins of your previous life,

2) your desire for God's forgiveness and mercy through the act of sacrifice of His Only Begotten Son (Jesus Christ),

3) your desire to know God's leadership in your life,

4) your desire to learn more of God's truth through Bible study,

5) your desire to find fellowship with genuine believers.



     Jesus said of the people of God that "The kingdom of heaven is like a net that God has cast into the sea, and it gathers of every kind: When it is full, it will be pulled up on the shore, where they will sit down to sort the catch, and they will collect the good fish in baskets, but the bad things will be thrown away. This is the way it will be at the end of the world: The angels shall come forth, and they will separate the unrighteous persons from among those justified by God . . ."

 

                     Excerpt from the Book of Matthew, who was a constant

                         companion of Jesus and his devoted disciple [13:47-50].



     Jesus spoke of the people of God as being like a seed that is growing secretly, saying, "As for the kingdom of God, it is as if a person should cast seed into the ground; and then he sleeps, and he rises up night and day to see that the seed is springing forth and always growing up, although he knows not exactly how. The Earth is bringing forth fruit from itself; first the blade, then the ears of corn, and after that the fullness of the ears of corn. And when all the fruit of the Earth has come forth, immediately God will use the sickle to reap the fields, because the harvest-time has come."

 

                                           Excerpt from the book of Mark [4:26-29].

 


     It's also important for all of us to remember this:

     1) WE SPEAK TO GOD by our prayers.

     2) GOD SPEAKS TO US by the words of Holy Scripture.

 

     So we must try to read His words and His Book just as often as we possibly can!!



     God wants to bless you for all your long efforts to understand this very confusing and difficult Universe in which we live-- so let Him reward your search with the grace of His forgiveness and enlightenment!
