ORACLES - Lesson 75

Lesson 75 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 75

The greatest honor I believe I’ve ever experienced is hearing God say “Thank you Qwynn”. So distinctly He spoke after I shared the Gospel with one of His own. I have heard this response on two occasions and each time, I was mixed with shock, honor and complete humility.

I recognize sharing your faith is not always comfortable, but you must keep in mind how necessary it is. Every day you must see yourself as in position for God. You are not just in the bookstore, or just coincidently chatting with a neighbor, or simply inconvenienced by a delay at the airport, you are in position to say and speak what God tells you to. You were placed there, wherever there is, to be a voice to those in the wilderness, a guide to the blind, and a light to those groping in darkness.

You are God’s representative, His mouthpiece and minister of reconciliation, and your assignment is simple—share the love of God! Tell people He loves them, share your testimony, encourage people with Truth, and let them know there is hope in Christ. You cannot govern what people do with the message you give, but you can sow seed (God’s Word), water the seed that’s already been planted in hearts and you can expect God to bring increase so that you reap where you have not sown and lead someone to Christ! (John 4:34-38).

In the same way that you are bold enough to share your business with prospective clients, share the location of a great restaurant, share your opinion when upset, and share a secret, you must be willing to share your faith! You are Christ’s ambassador for people to be reconciled to God. You don’t have to be perfect, you don’t have to be ordained, you don’t even have to say it all, you just need to make yourself available to say something.

Your only job is to be a messenger, and with that responsibility, God gives a promise that “those who are wise shall shine like the brightness of the firmament, and those who turn many to righteousness like the stars forever and ever.” (Daniel 12:3) Pretty powerful.
