Lesson 29 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 29
You may not feel like there’s much but God says there’s more!
When God spoke to Moses to lead the people of Israel out of bondage, he was intimidated and resistant to a position of leadership, yet God was sure. When God spoke to Gideon to bring deliverance to the people of Israel, he too, was resistant, yet God was again, sure. In each case, He was sure that they could provide leadership, even when they doubted themselves.
In the same way, God is sure about you. He knows you full well and if He’s requiring something from your life it’s because He’s sure. He knows what He’s put in you, and every opportunity to equip others with what you know is your surrender to what God knows. Who you are and what you have is for the sake of those around you. You are the mouthpiece, the vessel, and the resource that God will use to bring deliverance, healing, understanding, and truth to those around you.
You may not measure up in your own mind, but to God, you are perfect! Stop dismissing the gifts and talents that God placed within you. Who you are is exactly who God needs in order to make a difference in another person or in people. When you are called upon, trust that the anointing is present to bridge the gap between where you are and what you’re called or asked to do.
Our God is the Spirit of counsel and might and if you will yield, He will use you for His glory and bring fulfillment to your life in the process.
There’s more in you!
