God began to put in the heart of Apostle Lisa, after Sleeping Beauty Weekend, that she should fast and pray for broken dreams, visions and hopelessness to be removed from the Bride. After a series of events, God put the plan in place for a Vision Quest. Native Americans go on a vision quest to ask something specific from the Great Spirit or answers from Him. So a team decided to set out on a Vision Quest of their own. On Saturday August 1st. The Lord had challenged several at the ER to spend 10 days in prayer and fasting and on Monday, August 10th, the 10th day of the Vision Quest, to take a ten mile hike from the massacre site at Starved Rock State Park, to the village of the Illinois Tribe and back again. He challenged the team to take with them ten things, each member carried ten different things. They carried prayer requests and the names of people who have either been at the ER or are on our mailing list. All carried fire and water.

In 1675 on top of a cliff formation in Utica IL, a few miles from LaSalle-Peru, Chief Pontiac of the Potawattami Tribe, was murdered in deceit and tyranny. The French wanted the high place to establish a fort. So they hired a Native American to kill the Chief. That way, it was blamed on the Native Americans. It started a massacre that destroyed hundreds of Illinois Indians and almost wiped them out. Many warriors died at the bottom of the rock formation, others ran to to the top to find safety, only to have every supply cut off. Eventually they starved to death. The name of the rock formation from that time on was called Starved Rock.

The Team knew that they were going to ask God to reverse the curse off the land . It was an ancient prophetic sign of the state of some of the Bride in this time. Some of the Bride have died in the battle, some have given up and just sat down to die, many are starving for His presence and freedom. It's time we address it and let healing waters flow.


The team ask God to heal the land of the bloodshed and to have it covered with the Blood of the Lamb of God and at the same time, asked God to wake up the Bride so she can trust, dream, see, dance and live again.

It was a very difficult hike as they left their houses around 4 am. The temperature was going to reach 87 and humidity was 97% when it wasn't raining! They stood on top of the Rock at 5 am and prayed for the healing of the land. At 6 am the hike began. 8 hours later at 2 pm, the hikers returned from the ten mile journey and the prayer teams ascended the Rock. They took the land for the Kingdom of God and renamed Starved Rock, Eagle Rock, a place where eagle gather. It is true even today that hundreds of eagles gather there every winter. Entire weekends are devoted to watching them. To us, it is a prophetic sign of what God is doing in our region. We are not dying from the battle, giving up or sitting down to starve to death. We are flowing in His courage, provision and life and we declare it for all the Bride. Spirit Bride Live!

Evangelist Joanne, Althea Garcia, a Pueblo Indian in regalia, and Gatekeeper Marietta praying at a rock formation where 5 people had died. The team poured out water out and called for life. They took communion and prayed for the younger generation to come out
of drugs and addictions and into Kingdom reality.

This spot is exactly across from the original village of the Illinois tribe from the early 1600's until 1679.

RELEASE THE SOUND!!!











Let healing waters flow










Full circle and a prophetic turning of death to life!













Althea, honoring Native American
protocol and declaring authority
at Council Bluffs, the place of the
Illini Confederacy. Releasing all
nations into freedom.









Apostle Lisa declaring freedom and
justice for the Bride of Christ. No more
tyranny, slavery, hopelessness nor
intimidation. The team prayed for broken
dreams and visions that have died to
come to pass 






The team declared at Council Bluffs, that the authority the Bride relinquished to the enemy would be restored to her. That she would no longer hide in a cave but would take ground back for the Kingdom of God.





Declaring over the
Bride that she is
coming out of the                      
entanglement of
the enemy's web
and coming into
glorious freedom
in Christ.

all felt like we were coming home.
Till they all come home!




















At the end of the Vision Quest everyone knew that something had changed in the atmosphere. The sun seemed brighter,  the grass greener and the birds sang louder. Creation was released to praise Him, all of creation, including us!
I continue to be astounded by what God is doing in us and around us. It is a honor and privilege to walk this path He has me on. When I embraced my Native American heritage, I understood why I feel they way I feel about the land. I found out why my heart beats like a warrior. I understood my drive for intercession and why I carry the Apostolic breaker anointing. I pray for all Native Americans to find Creator and rise to authority in Him as I have done.





Then I woke up to my Kingdom citizenship and realized my prime directive is to advance His Kingdom here upon the earth. It is not an option, it is a mandate! My prayer is that the entire Bride of Christ rises from Her slumber and everything that she would awaken to everything Jesus died to give her. As for this Italian-German-Arapaho...I'm the Bride and I'm awake!-Apostle Lisa

The "Rez"
God is calling for justice in the land and it is going to start with the Indian people. Especially those on our reservations. For years they have suffered under oppression and injustice. Their land has been stolen, and desecrated and their culture threatened. In this season the heart of Creator, Wakan Tanka,  is calling the Native American Bride to rise and take her place in the Kingdom. Native Americans have a unique perspective that the Bride of Christ desperately needs and the Great Spirit is allowing her sound to ride on the wind.

Please pray for the Native People as their voice is beginning to be heard in the land. Chuck Pierce and Dutch Sheets released a prophetic word over South Dakota, that "if we don't tear down the strongman over South Dakota, we don't get revival in the nation".

We believe that the strongman they refer to is injustice! It was at Wounded Knee in 1893 where the "accepted" last armed conflict between the Indian people and the military took place. It was there that hope died. We at the ER believe that hope is being restored at Wounded Knee and it will be a pivotal place in these last days to release both a cry of repentance from the church and the white man to a cry of forgiveness from the heart of Native America.

That land continues to cry out today for manifest sons to walk in freedom and peace. All of God's sons need to walk in freedom, including the red man! It's time for the blood of Jesus to speak a better thing than the blood of the martyrs. Many thousands of Indian people have been martyred and that blood still cries today from the throne room of Heaven.

It's time for the Bride of Christ to speak truth and let our voice be heard. What was done to Indian people was nothing short of racism and injustice. God is waiting for men and women of courage to stand up and release His healing oil into Native America.

We at the ER have taken that stand. The Tabernacle is a place for all races, including Native Americans to come and worship freely. Wether its on a drum, in regalia, with a flute or a flag or jeans and tennis shoes, there is freedom to worship in spirit and truth at the ER. Come and join us and release your sound.

Eagle Rock has been going to the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in South Dakota since 2004. Our lives have been changed forever as we stepped onto the land. We thought we were going to build a church and help the people but we actually became a part of history.

The Eagle Rock team was on Pine Ridge, December 29th, 115 years to the night of the massacre of Wounded Knee. We repented to the grandchildren of Chief Fire Lightning, Francis and Cleone Ice, who owned the land at Wounded Knee and also to Tawny Robertson, descendant of Chief Big Foot, who was murdered there. Many members of the Body of Christ church, Porcupine, prayed for us as we prayed for them. History was made as our two races became one Kingdom in Christ.

A documentary by Swiss PBS film Maker, Fanny Bräuning, will be out soon, documenting the journey of the people of Pine Ridge and how God allowed us to walk on the same path. Though the truth about what we have been doing on Pine Ridge was distorted, the truth about life on the Rez is accurate. The trailer is located below.


We have since been on several other reservations to repent and plant seeds of healing in the land. In 2008, the team traveled to Acoma, the first Pueblo Indian village in North America, to repent and ask God to bring healing. On that trip we met a woman from the Laguna tribe, Althea Garcia, who traveled with us to the cliff dwellings in the Mesa Verde mountain range in Colorado. It was the first time she had stepped into the place of her ancestors. Climbing down into an ancient "kiva" she poured water on the land as we prayed and asked God to heal the land.
                                            

Miracles on Pine Ridge!

In June of 2008, God poured out His Spirit on us. Many saw angels, went to heaven and received healings. We have witnessed heart problems, diabetes and tumors being healed.

Below are pictures of a young girl's foot that was injured in a bike accident.  These are the still photos of the progress of her healing. See below for the story of this healing.

No More Smoke Signals!

While the ER was at Pine Ridge in the first year, a Swiss Public Broadcasting Television station was filming a documentary about Kili Radio Station on the Reservation. Through a series of God events, they filmed several hours of footage of our first three trips that culminated on top of Wounded Knee 115 years to the night of the massacre. The documentary, though not Christian in nature, shows how we interacted with the Native people and their struggle for justice. The documentary has already won several awards and is scheduled to be released in the United States sometime this summer.


Here is the trailer for the documentary about Pine Ridge. It's embedded from YouTube, called "No More Smoke Signals."
