Lesson 48 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 48
There was day when I wanted to talk to God but had no place to begin. I wanted to reiterate some issues, but at onset I told Him that I would trust Him. I wanted to fellowship with Him, but “I always say that”, and so,…I began to worship. It was a song from my heart to our God. It was a song of honor and praise based on the melody from within. Before I realized it, “Wonderful” was my refrain: You are wonderful, Simply wonderful, Completely wonderful, Wonderful, You are...and again—just plain wonderful!
I’m telling you this because sometimes worship is the one action item we forget or minimize in our relationship with God; and I’m not talking about using someone else’s song, I’m talking about using your sound with your lyrics to your Heavenly Father. Not only will you get God’s attention, but also you will shirk away from any weight and heaviness, defy any sense of apathy, dodge loneliness, and create an atmosphere that welcomes God.
Worship is the way to the heart of God. As you boast on who He is and what He can do your own issues pale in comparison to His beauty and holiness, as God Himself is revered, honored, adored and lauded! The best part is, He initiates a conversation with you that you found hard to begin.
When you worship you not only welcome His presence, but also His power.
