ORACLES - Lesson 61

Lesson 61 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 61

I pray the light of His countenance upon you today, in Jesus’ name.

There are so many people around you looking for authentic others. There are people who are looking for someone to emulate, someone with substance, someone who is different. And that someone is you—they are looking for you to be the person God made you. For “you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light; who once were not a people but are now the people of God”…

Today, you represent the living God and the light of Christ: Your countenance should glow. When people look into your eyes there should be depth. When people pass by, you should radiate. They may not be able to pinpoint why the difference, but they should be convinced that there is a difference. And, from that, wonder what it is about you that attracts them, draws them, or just makes them enjoy being around you.

I’ve experienced times when strangers stare and children stop what they’re doing to look intently at me. Aside from God, I am ordinary, maybe even less than ordinary, yet with His presence, people stare because of who He is within me. I can only attribute their behavior to the God who shines forth the light of His glory. And the same is true for you!

He will shine forth His glory through your life if you will honor Him with your life. When you pursue the Lord in prayer, take in His person by reading the Bible, and follow His leading obediently, the residue of who He is will be upon you and not only will people legitimately stop to take a look at the light you emanate, but you’ll be a fragrant offering to our God in the process.

It’s a beautiful thing.
