Bob Hamer is the author of the book ‘The Last Undercover’.
He is a Christian who worked for America’s Federal Bureau of Investigation [FBI] for 26 years as a Special Agent. Much of his career was spent undercover in assignments aimed at exposing organized crime, gangs, terrorism, and child exploitation. Due to his undercover work several criminals were convicted on federal charges. Though some of the assignments were highly dangerous he found the courage to forge on from the fact that the job had come as an answer to prayer.
When Bob first applied for a job as an FBI agent, he was turned down due to a hiring freeze. Soon after that he received another job offer, but just before accepting the new job he stopped to pray, seeking God’s will. After that prayer, the very next morning the FBI called him and told him they had an opening for him.
To Bob that was a direct answer to prayer and an assurance that he was meant to be in the FBI. This assurance became an anchor for him during difficult and dangerous cases where even his life was threatened.
Each of his assignments had an element of danger. However, he always prayed before every undercover job. Typically it was a prayer of strength, asking God to give him the grace to carry out the assignment.
In the course of his work he had been in gun battles and life threatening situations, but he says he felt a protection that the best body armor and cover couldn’t provide.
He was the undercover agent in the Los Angeles mafia family case where he helped to take out the top 15 mob leaders in LA. If during the assignment they had discovered who he was, certainly he could have been killed.
But he said despite the great danger, he had a sense of peace because he felt he was where he was supposed to be.
Bob received numerous awards throughout his career and from his experiences as an FBI agent he has written several award-winning books.
Next to salvation, divine direction stands out as our greatest asset in the journey of destiny. Divine guidance is what leads to success and progress.
You cannot be guided and become grounded in life, because when God leads you, He goes ahead of you to make crooked paths straight. He guides you through even treacherous and difficult circumstances, until He brings you into the fullness of His plan for you.
When God led the Israelites through the wilderness, He said in Exodus 23:23 ‘”For mine angel shall go before thee, and bring thee in unto the Amorite, and the … and the Canaanites, the Hivites and the Jebusites; and I will cut them off.’
When God leads you on your journey, He will give His angels charge over you to keep you in all your ways. When you receive divine guidance before embarking on an endeavor you will enjoy divine immunity no matter how many enemies may gather against you.
Indeed no force in hell can stop a man who is being guided by God and who is pursuing a divine mandate for his life. Heavenly forces will be on hand to fight your battles and cut off the adversaries and oppositions on your path.
Not seeking God’s direction first and only following your inclination causes you to wander out of the course He has charted for you. And this is what leads to pains, heartaches and miseries in life.
Proverbs 14:12 says “ There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death. ”
We cannot depend on our physical senses alone to locate the right way to go in life. To see fruitfulness and abundant harvest in this season it is important that we engage divine help and guidance in all our endeavors. Certainly, when you hear from heaven before you act on earth, every barrier will be turned into signs and wonders.
Whenever God leads you in any venture, He watches over you, keeps you under the shadow of His wings and clears off any opposition that tries to obstruct you,
With the increasing uncertainty in the world today we really need to follow divine plan more than ever before. Rather than run after our own ambitions, let us chase after God’s divine vision for us. Certainly, as we do so, we will find that everything we need for life and godliness has already been made available in the plan God has ordained for us.
PRAYER: Lord, Please help me to always seek Your guidance in all my endeavors, so that I can experience miraculous fruitfulness and supernatural harvest in this season. Thank You Lord for going ahead of me and indeed making every crooked path straight in Jesus Name.
