ORACLES - Lesson 13

Lesson 13 of 90

---

I can count on one hand the number of times anyone has given me a prophetic word. And because it is so rare, I remember, almost verbatim what the prophet or those working in the prophetic gifting have shared with me. The second word I received in my life was my position in the body of Christ as an Oracle. At the time I wondered what that meant, later in life I wondered when I would start.

Then came social media and I found it to be the perfect platform to speak to my children the words of wisdom that I think are important, the words I want to reiterate, and the words that I know they’ll appreciate later in life if not today—and social media was the perfect indirect approach.

What I didn’t realize is how many people would find short prayers and reminders of life beneficial. If my children never responded or reposted what they read for them, countless others did! You see, initially, I thought social media was in and of itself a gigantic waste of valuable time. What I didn’t realize was, herein was the forum God would use to speak into lives as an oracle.

I found out much later that my natural children were glancing at posts while others were benefiting. With this in mind, I wanted to capture what would expire over time into something my children, and you, could reference forever.

Some of the sayings you may have heard before and others you may have known but never really considered. Regardless, my prayer is that you enjoy each page, as I’m direct, facetious and principled. Just know I speak from the heart of a mother with good intentions towards you.

Let the read bless your life and know little tweaks here and there, or a complete overhaul in personality can make the difference in having a fulfilled existence or a life denied of the many benefits available to you as a believer.

Now, the Words of an Oracle...

Dear Woman,

Like the Apostles wrote letters to the early church, these are the posts I made on social media and elaborated as a letter just for you. They are designed to inspire and provoke you to be, do and have everything God intended for your life. Some days are a reminder, others are an admonishment, but each day is designed to encourage you.

Sometimes we just need to be encouraged. We can know the Truth and know what’s right, but a reminder is always refreshing. This devotional is designed to be just that—refreshing.

LESSON 13

“I pray strength and stamina in every area of weariness felt in life today, in Jesus’ name.”

To be weary is to be tired, mentally exhausted and fatigued. It happens after you have given of yourself in more ways than one, after you’ve made sacrifices to ensure the happiness of others, worked to secure the needs and desires of others, and after you’re still needed for more. It’s being drained. Drained of energy, motivation and interest.

Let me encourage you with the message from Paul, who said, “let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart.” (Galatians 6:9) None of your efforts are in vain! You may be underappreciated, undervalued and overlooked by those to whom you give of yourself the most, but God does not forget you. “God is not unjust to forget your work and labor of love which you have shown toward His name, in that you have ministered to the [children, husband, boss, mother, etc.] saints” (Hebrews 6:10)

God sees you. God sees the sacrifices you have made and continue to make. God knows—and while the reward and honor from people may be missing, it’s not missing from God. If God could honor Ruth as she made sacrifices for Naomi, He can and will honor you. So, don’t let yourself despise the work or the sacrifice, the One who counts the most sees you!!

Keep up the good work. It’s not in vain.
