And the LORD said unto Cain, Where is Abel your brother? And he said, I know not: Am I my brother's keeper? [Genesis 4:9]
Man! You know people look at you from a distance and think they can figure or "discern" you out, when they have the slightest idea who you really are or what you are going thru.
Many look at ministry as the next big speaking engagement to preach to hundreds and thousands, however, for me true ministry starts after the message has been preached. Because after the laying of the hands and being slate in the spirit, that person has to go back home with no further instructions to that molester, to that abusive relationship/marriage, to that husband/wife committing adultery, to that individual that is on crack cocaine/alcohol abuse, to that disable child that depends on them to survive, to that lesbian relationship to end it and believe GOD in her homelessness -- just to live an upright life. And countless things that everyday people that we see and talk to on a regular, that spirits are silently crying out for help.
I get phone calls 2, 3, 4 o'clock in the morning from people I have no idea who most of them are. That have churches and pastors and are surrounded by "christian" believers but, yet feel like they can only be heard by a complete stranger, whom they trust the GOD in more.
I can’t number the young woman that have been molested, prostituted, raped and young men/women that GOD has sent to me that are struggling with homosexuality that have been turned away, that want change, but don’t know how-to do it or where to find it. I have, by the power of the Holy Spirit, minister in and out of season, sat up, cried with, talk them out of committing suicide or that have took a whole bottle of pills and had to talk them into going to get there stomachs pumped, tried to OD on drugs and so much that they encounter. Husbands who wife just walked out on them the day after the wedding with another women and feeling like he lost his manhood. Drug dealers that want to change their life and feel like there is no other way to go but backwards. All while yet, still dealing with the flood that was trying to consume me, while trying to save them from drowning.
GOD has blessed me to have understanding children as I took on the role of not only a spiritual leader but a mother to some of these individuals, like my own, (in and out of the United States) that I have considered as my own. I know how they feel, I have been there, I know what it feels like to be used, abused and ostracized by society and by those whom you loved. And would give your last breath, to reject you and treat you like you are a piece of scum on the ground. I know what it feels like to not be able to open up to anyone at home and you find out that same is true for you in the church.
Which brings me to the reason for writing this note. I get tons of email for prayer and phones calls and prison invites and it is just too much on one person to maintain. But for an ordained reason, I felt lead to open this particular message. This young lady was really crying out for help and the holy spirit had me to identify with her burden, which is heavy. They did give me permission to share, she read the prayer I posted for my high school friend this morning, and without sharing the entire email , she wrote:
“I please in desperation need prayers of deliverance, freedom from oppression and depression. I cant say much now because I don't know what to say but my family, …I have been a single mom going thru boyfriends over the years married once to a backslidden Christian whom I married after 2 months because I was afraid to be alone I had at that tine left my children's dad at age 23 and from there I've lived in intence baggage post traumatic depression since a child due to repeated molestation attacks from cousins. ..I believe the devil is a liar and that by His strips I am healed. I beleve with you and your prayer team that we will pray restoration thru and that God will move once again in my life. That later I will use this testimony to.help the captives see that Jesus is te answer. Thank you for reading please sister join me in your prayer rooms and tell everyone you know the Sinopoles need immediate prayers. In Jesus name! Amen”
I know she ask for just prayer but, I feel lead to connect with this young lady closely, and I am excited what GOD is going to do in her life. And as she request, please keep Sinopoles in your immediate prayers, and when praying, consider everything that was said in this note. Hear it with the ears of your hEARt and take it to heart, Am I My Brothers Keeper? I like to say, Yes You Are!
When it comes to ministry and GOD...childish ways have to be laid down when purpose has to rise up!!!!
When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things. [1 Cor. 13:11]
Grace and Peace Be Unto You,ELIAS
