Daughters of Destiny
By Peggy Shirley
Last spring while I was ministering at a ladies’ conference in Indiana, the Lord spoke to me
that these are the last days and that He was
giving women divine assignments to complete
during these final days of harvest. He then told
me that I was to start helping women prepare
their hearts because some of these assignments would be hard and unconventional. He also reminded me of how Deborah in the book of
Judges was asked to go off to war and actually
lead the army into battle.
Next, He challenged me with my own divine assignment -- to hold a women’s gathering in Colorado Springs. My first reaction was, “Who? Me? How can I possibly do this? I don’t know many people. I have no place to hold such a meeting. And besides -- I am an unknown here!” After praying for confirmation, I then had to start walking out in my own life what I was teaching others concerning their divine assignments.
After weeks of planning, I was able to watch as the Lord made all the arrangements fall into place. He proved to me that all my excuses were good for absolutely nothing!
The end result was the first Daughters of Destiny Women’s Gathering at the new Watchman Training Center in the Every Home for Christ building. Ladies from many local churches filled the room to discover their personal divine assignments.
Praise and worship was led by David Wilkerson’s daughter-in-law, and another local lady evangelist and I ministered.
When I got up to speak, the Lord’s presence was so strong that the next thing I knew I had called forth the entire group and they were down on their knees before the Lord even before I began to speak. Even though the day had started at nine in the morning, the women were so hungry for ministry that I had to actually ask them to leave at five in the afternoon. I am still getting phone calls and emails about what the Lord has done in the lives of the women who were present.
The other divine assignment I have been working on is my book Women for the Harvest which came off the press the day before the conference! Praise God!! The book will be
available on our website.
