Lesson 50 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 50
If I were a betting woman, I would say you prepared yourself this morning by using soap, and putting on fresh undergarments, and some kind of fragrance, even if lotion. In other words, you didn’t leave your house musty (on purpose, anyway, lol), or look through your hamper for soiled wear! Noooo! You consciously considered your hygiene for a new day. You washed off yesterday and left the house refreshed.
Well, in the same way, spiritually, you are no longer who you were yesterday! Whoever that was that made the mistakes, missed it and/or made a mess of things five, ten or twenty years ago is now washed, made anew. You are a new creation in Christ Jesus! The blood of Christ gave you a new identity: You are a child of God!
You are loved; you are forgiven; you are redeemed; you are complete in Him; you are alive together with Christ Jesus; you are a joint heir with Christ; you are holy and blameless and above reproach! All because you received Christ as your sacrificial lamb; and He is the Lamb of God who took away the sins of [your life] the world!
Therefore, don’t wear the shame found in a memory, or the reproach of the past. Don’t put on guilt and condemnation and live in heaviness or torment. There is nothing that you did or have done that the blood of Christ cannot and did not wash completely away. God doesn’t remember it, so stop letting the enemy remind you and then disqualify you from freedom, peace, and/or confidence. You have a redeemer, and He ransomed your life with His own!
He took your humiliation, your pain, your shortcoming, and gave you access to the living God. So, start now and determine to keep this week about who you are Christ. Guaranteed, it will change your outlook and thereby, your life! Rest.
A right on time message! Thanks!!! 🧼:)
