Lesson 64 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 64
Life is choice driven and often times we allow our emotions to drive our choice to be happy, mad, sad, encouraged and/or optimistic. Life will happen to each of us, but how we approach the issues will determine our success in it.
Proverbs says, if you falter during days of adversity how small is your strength. The strength I believe we’re talking about is our ability to process what is going on and filter the information through the Word of God. If you cannot filter your situation through God’s word, you’ll use your emotions to drive every behavior and all of your decisions in life.
Stop letting life happen to you and change your mind. You change your mind about what you’d like to eat, where you’d like to go, and many other things which means, you can change your mind it’s just that you’re being selective with what.
When I change my mind about how I feel I fast-forward in my mind what the situation I’m facing by seeing myself after the facts. In other words, when I had a car accident I had every opportunity to become unnerved but I decided to live in the following day envisioning how I would feel the next day in the evening. I realized my current situation did not have to dictate how I responded, and I chose that.
If you find yourself frustrated, offended by people, in despair often, and generally mad the problem is not outside of you it’s within you. It’s all in your mind. If you just change your mind, you will change your day.
