INTRODUCTION

Sometimes God shows up in the strangest places, well strange to us. We had been praying for financial breakthrough and God helped us out through of all places the Internal Revenue Service.

GOD AND THE IRS

Every year, we figure out our taxes and come up with a number for our return. And every year up until this year, we always missed something and wind up taking home much less then we had figured. It had gotten so bad that I began to half the figure we would come up with so as to not be disappointed when we actually had our taxes done. However, this year was to be different.

Before I explain what had happened, allow me to take a second and explain how we got where we were. At the beginning of this year, the pastor of our church challenged the church to consecrate ourselves before God at the beginning of the year like Daniel had done in Daniel chapter 10. The reason was to start the year off right and to allow God to work on our behalf like the angel that was sent to Daniel. So, my wife and I decided to do this. As a direct result, God moved in our finances.

After receiving all of our W-2s, we prayed to God. We asked him that he clear the way at the tax service place so that we would not have to wait in line (because we had a prayer meeting to go to at the church) and that God would supernaturally give us a bigger refund then we were expecting. Then we got in the car and headed to the tax service place. As we entered the building, we were greeted by a lady who was ready to help us. We praised God and told the lady that we had prayed about there not being a line. She looked at us like we were from Mars, but that was ok.

I did tell her that we prayed for God to intervene and give us a bigger refund then we were expecting. This time she was more used to us talking about God and just gave us a blank stare. Then she took our information and began to run through the program. After a while she looked at us and told us that she was not sure what figure we were expected, but she had our refund amount calculated. The figure she told us was more then double the figure we came up with at home. More then double the figure. More then double the figure. She then explained that we qualified for some deduction somewhere that gave us back a bunch more money out of what we had paid to the IRS. We immediately praised God.

SCRIPTURE

When you give to God, he gives back to you. We have been faithful tithers and have been faithful to give when God has told us to. When we do that, God gives back to us good measure pressed down, shaking together and running over.

CONCLUSION

By standing on God’s word, you can be assured that he will take care of you. Live the Living Word.
