Spiritual Assignment
With all of the different teachings around and all of the confusion among people who are supposed to be on one accord, it is devastating to some who are trying to find a clear path in life. Amid all the confusion, however, people are being empowered to be blessed and to be a blessing to others.
My mission in life is to minister (including serving, teaching and preaching) to the needs of others in the natural and spiritual aspect. I help equip and empower others to find their purpose in life in order to be all that God has ordained them to be---ever since the foundation of the world.
People need to have hope and direction in life. We all must come to the realization that we cannot make it on our own. We all need someone, in one way or another, to inspire us to reach our destiny in life.
I believe that God will place people in our lives to help facilitate our assignments in life. For this reason, I believe the Lord allows me to cross paths with many people in order to offer words of encouragement to help propel them to their next level. Many people feel discouraged and downtrodden when it seems things are moving slowly or not even moving at all. I teach people that patience is required when you are reaching for your destination in life.
I am not a psychic. Many people proclaim themselves to be psychics and/or mediums. Many people make a living offering physic readings for set fees, etc. Again, I am not a psychic. I do not perform personal readings for people. However, prophetically, the Lord, from time to time uses me to speak a “now” or a “word in season” to people under the guidance of the Holy Spirit. By this I mean that God will sometimes allow me to speak a prophetic word into the lives of His people to encourage them, motivate them, or even speak a word for correction. I call a prophetic word “an inspired message spoken under divine unction of the Holy Spirit which can be transmitted orally or in writing. This message is prophesied in part with delivery based on the spiritual maturity of both the person hearing the message and the person delivering the message. The prophetic word should always line up with God’s written word.
“The Lord GOD hath given me the tongue of the learned, that I should know how to speak a word in season to him that is weary” (Isaiah 50:4, emphasis mine).
“Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine” (2 Timothy 4:2).
I find myself contacting individuals personally who are in distress and find time to share my gifts, skills, and talents with them. Some other ways we can bless others are listening, caring, encouraging, comforting, and sharing love, joy, and peace. Becoming a great listener takes time and patience. Sometimes in life we just need someone to listen, someone who will listen and not be judgmental about any given situation. Yet, in listening, you can lend a shoulder for others to cry on—but, at the same time offer a strong word of encouragement to say “Get up from this place so that you can arrive at your place of destination.”
Through encouragement, we are helping each other to fulfill our divine destiny. Because we belong to one Body, I have found this saying of mine to be true: “Your obedience can be the answer to my prayer; and my obedience can be the answer to your prayer.”
We as a body need to realize that there will be various transitions in our lives as we walk and maintain a relationship with God. Even while we are witnessing to and encouraging others, we, ourselves may need to be ministered to in a specific area. We are not alienated from situations in this life—it’s just that we have a Counselor who lives on the inside of us to help us along the way.
My desire is to win others to Christ and ensure that everything sponsored by Evelyn Drayton Ministries, Inc. and also Soul Winner Ministries are organized, efficient and effectively allow our mission to be relayed in a spirit of humility and excellence so that God may be glorified in all that we do.
I would like to encourage the Body of Christ to stand tall, be vigilant, be strong, and be courageous as we triumph over the powers of darkness. We can triumph when there is unity. I ask that we work diligently together in unity. There is no way we can be at our very best with strife or animosity among us. |
