ORACLES - Lesson 7

Lessons 7 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 7

I pray you eat in plenty and live satisfied in soul today. In Jesus’ name. Amen

There are times when life begs for transition—something new, different, exciting or refreshing. That is, we’re unhappy with our progress or position and change really sounds appealing. There are two likelihoods at work: Either God is stretching you or you’re under attack.

If you’re being stretched, the conflict and dissatisfaction you feel is God leading you towards expansion in character or purpose. Your best response is obedience. Just trust Him. If you’re under attack, however, it is a spirit of discontentment that provokes jealousy, anger, bitterness and depression; in the end it will ruin cherished relationships, jeopardize great opportunities/jobs, and have you melancholy

needlessly.

Here are your options. You can stay in that state until you’ve lost it all, or you can do

the following:

First, take authority over it. It is a spirit sent to deceive, delude or skew your perspective and steal from your life, and you’re the only one who can stop the attack, in the name of Jesus.

Second, reject the strategy. The plot is to keep you self-absorbed. It’s called, selfishness! When focus is on you alone, you’ve lost God’s meaning for life—which is to love, bless and help others.

Lastly, be thankful. Resist the heart of an ingrate by maintaining a heart of thanksgiving. Every time you feel like you’re losing or your denied, voice what you’re thankful for. Not in some religious manner, but really look at what you have and remember the story behind it, then sincerely and conscientiously thank God for His grace, mercy and kindness.

When you evict the spirit of discontentment your outlook will change, and you’ll appreciate how sweet your life really is!
