Lesson 47 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 47
There is a voice of correction that we all hear. It whispers change and challenges what we justify. It’s easily dismissed by logic or forgotten over time; yet, that voice is heard no matter who we are and no matter how long we’ve been in Christ.
The voice is gentle but absolute, whispering, “Let it go.” “Forgive.” “Stop acting like that.” “You’re wrong.” “Apologize.” “Give.” Depending upon the circumstances our emotions can easily override the directive/correction. I’m writing to validate that voice you hear and encourage you to not just listen, but also heed.
God gives blessings and He also brings correction to our behavior, challenge to our conclusions and change to our mindset. To ignore conviction is to remain the same, and to remain the same means your desired breakthrough is delayed, your impending promotion is denied and your ultimate desire to please God is feign.
Only you know what God is speaking into your heart, but I encourage you to walk in what’s possible for your life by heeding the voice of Holy Spirit today. You will not lose if you value the words of the one who guides you into all Truth. He is your life coach and when He speaks it’s a gently nudge towards the blessing—every time.
