Lesson 8 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 8
I pray that you will overcome the thoughts that disqualify you from God’s best today. In Jesus’ name.
Thoughts may come but you don’t have to entertain them.
Today marks another day of new mercies, His all-sufficient grace, His steadfast love and His lifetime of favor! Today marks a new day of freedom!
Don’t let your past condemn you anymore. Don’t let your thoughts sink into regrets. Even more, absolutely do not let the enemy trick you into thinking less of yourself! Listen, you made mistakes but God still loves you! It didn’t work out the way you planned, but God is still with you. You’re not sure anymore, but God still has a future and a hope, just for you. You are on top and still rising!
So, receive His love by being grateful in those moments of challenge, by being obedient to Him throughout the day, and by honoring Him in your life. Thoughts may come but you don’t have to entertain them. Replace the negative chip in your mind with something edifying and encouraging. Make a decision to win, and then give God the very best YOU possible everyday.
Remember, life is not a dress rehearsal. This is it—so make it count for His glory!
