ORACLES - Lesson 41

Lesson 41 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 41

Every morning two things happen: One, you receive new mercies and two, you receive a new opportunity to make memories and create a memoir. In the same way that you could phone a friend and laugh heartily about your shared past, you can decide today to make good memories for tomorrow.

Be intentional about your future; for example, schedule family portraits, have lunch at a new or different restaurant with family friends. If funds are challenged, invest your time in the elderly. Or, deliberately acquaint yourself with the most introverted person on your job. Maybe be creative with new recipes for one week per month or play music loudly and dance with the kids. If you walk daily try to jog this time—it will either be rewarding or just plain comical. Live, laugh and love! Do something that you can never regret but only reflect upon with joy and satisfaction.

One of the common habits two billionaires have, as observed by Paul C. Brunson was written in the Huffington Post. He said, “When you have money, your toys are big. However, the vast majority of money I saw spent on their "leisure" was on actual experiences versus the typical car, jewelry, and clothes we're familiar with seeing in music videos and gossip blogs. I recall one time at dinner with Oprah, I spotted a table of about 20 girls off to the side. I later found out Ms. Winfrey was treating some of her graduating girls from her school in South Africa to dinner in NYC. Experiences create memories, and memories are priceless.”

You don’t have to be a billionaire to make memories or create an experience! By God’s grace and daily mercies, you’re going to live in your future so it may as well be the future you create; even more, you have the ability to create something larger than you!
