About a month ago I was reading a book by a favorite author of mine called Under Cover. It was a Monday morning and I was thinking how my generation doesn’t understand what it means to be under authority. Thoughts rolled through my mind as I drew closer to God asking for Him to give me a deeper revelation of what it means to be under authority.
As I read page after page, I recalled that John Bevere lived in Colorado Springs with his family. I looked at the back of the book describing who Mr. Bevere was and I asked God, can I play golf with him?
Three days later I was helping my wife get ready for work when I see that I had a missed call from a friend. It was 8:36 when I saw my phone so I returned his call immediately. When my friend picked up he said to me, “Do you want to play golf with me and John Bevere this morning at 8:53”. My stomach dropped because this was the exact prayer that I prayed on Monday morning yet it was in 17 minutes and I was supposed to work at ten. I thought for a second, looked at my wife and just decided to take a leap of faith and commit.
I have no idea how I did it but somehow I got ready, covered my shift and got to the tee box at 8:56am after they had just hit. I ran up to the tee, grabbed a club, asked God to let me hit it down the middle and wham it went straight down the middle.
To make a long story short, God is amazing! The prayer that he answered was the start of a new season of my life. John said that I needed to get in touch with his son Addison who was the manager of his ministry called Messenger International (www.messengerinternational.org). Mr. Bevere said they were hiring someone in their church relations department; I immediately went after the opportunity.
Two interviews later, Erin and I decided to take another leap of faith and accept the position at Messenger International. I will be assigned to a couple thousand churches where I will have the privilege to speak with men of God all day long as well as occasionally travel with Mr. Bevere further down the road.
I am overwhelmed at the Lords blessings in this season of my life and I sit back and question, why do I every doubt? God always comes through, no matter if it is in the beginning or if it is in the 11th hour. God is amazing and never changing.
