I awoke with a simple but profound thought - God always has a way!! When Jesus proclaimed that He was THE WAY, THE TRUTH, AND THE LIFE it was settled that no matter what you face in life HE IS THE WAY. Though Christ was primarily referring to Salvation, I think it is safe to say that HE IS THE WAY through the many situations that we find ourselves in in our lives.
A couple of months ago I drove to the LA area to have my taxes done. I use a company that specializes in doing taxes for clergy members. As I walked into their offices and walked back to the office of my accountant that I barely know, he began to read my mail!! I was completely blown away - I went to get my taxes done and ended up weeping as my accountant began to speak a word into my life.
Now you have to understand something, my accountant is not on my speed dial list. He is not in my favorites on my iPhone, he is just an individual that the IRS requires me to see at the most once a year. When I stepped into his office he said, "I have been waiting for you to get here! The Lord spoke to me to tell you...." And for 20 minutes he began to tell me things that he had no idea were going on in my life or the life of the church that I pastor.
Now I will be honest - As for as I know this man isn't "one of us" - You know a Pentecostal!! I know - some of you just stopped reading because - if you were like me at this moment, you thought - how could God speak through someone that may not be just like I am????
This man spoke some things into my life in areas that only my wife and I had spoken about. Things in our hearts for the church we pastor, things for our personal lives and ministry - I began to weep as I thought - God you know exactly what I need when I need it.
I left knowing I was getting a refund but more importantly realizing GOD WILL ALWAYS MAKE A WAY.
If we are willing to listen I believe that God can speak to us in a variety of ways, outside the four walls of church!! I know I pushing the edge here for some of you but think about it - Balaam was given the word of God through a DONKEY!! Now dont get me wrong - I am not calling my accountant a donkey - (dude I got a refund, he is not a donkey) - I am just trying to get us to understand that God will do whatever He needs to do to speak to us and give us direction in our lives.
I trust that we will slow down long enough to hear Him talking to us in moments we might miss if we are not careful.
Enjoy your week and go see your accountant!!

Wow. I believe it.
Bro. Darin, the best prophetic word from an accountant: I see a huge increase in revenue coming your way. Shondo. Sign me up.
My son if you would only listen to your father you would not have to pay for "fortune telling"
Love you son
Just happened upon your blog and I had to laugh. Not because of what God did for you, but just the way you told the story. Hey, tax can't get much better than to have God speak to you and get a refund, too!!!
Give your wife and kids a hug for me.
lol.. I think I laughed harder at Bro. Myles comment. That was a great story. God will use whoever is willing to be a vessel. That would of blown my mind.. Sometimes God cant get the vessels inside the four walls to move when He says go! So God isnt in a box. In these last days I believe we will be shocked at who God uses and speaks through! He always makes a way! Gods ways are not our ways. Sometimes He does it in a way we think not! Soooo when are you going to babtize that accountant in Jesus Name? God Bless you, Sis Noel Cordova
