ORACLES - Lesson 74

Lesson 74 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 74

When God tells you something, believe Him! Don’t discount what you hear or see because you don’t understand it at the time He shows you. God is not on your time schedule, but He will prepare you for everything you will face in life if you will ask Him and trust what He shows you.

God will not lie to you and more than likely, you heard Him properly. Many times people will talk you out of what you know or they will contradict what you thought God said, but let me encourage you to always believe God! He warns, prepares and equips you for conversations, situations and life itself, and if you’ll believe Him the first time, you’ll never be shocked and you’ll always be prepared.

I remember seeing a vision of a flywheel when I started a new job. I didn’t recognize the machinery; in fact, I could only identify the machine as some kind of water wheel. With curiosity I researched and rather quickly found a picture of what I envisioned. When God revealed it, I thought it was my own failing and that the vision held no meaning or value. Six months later, and after complete chaos filled my workplace and a change of staff, God reminded me of the flywheel.

I went back to reference the meaning or use of a flywheel and in that moment found the vision God had given me six months prior was more than relevant, it represented my role within the organization. I thought I was there for my own needs alone, but God revealed my purpose was to be a flywheel for what could have been a disastrous end.

Needless to say, I was elated with the revelation, but even more, I was encouraged because the vision I thought was irrelevant was indeed from God. In the same way, God is speaking to you. Don’t reject what you hear or dismiss what you see, ask Him for clarity.

Our Father knows the end from the beginning, and He is more than willing to share current and upcoming events with you. You don’t need anyone to tell you what’s going on, because God Himself will tell it all!
