Disciple 1
The stories of L.A.P., I have called miraculous because they should not have happened!! Normally, they do not happen, even in church! So why did they happen to Love All People? This was my answer; Because Rev. Minner was in the kingdom!!! First and foremost, Pastor Minner was a servant of Yeshua! When Pastor Minner obeyed His instructions and trusted Him alone to bring ’It’ to pass, He did! It is not important to know how it is coming, but it is very important to know it is coming!! Pastor Minner was instructed by the Holy Spirit to quit show business and then to tell the children he loved them. Well then, how is the ministry going to be funded? God said by you trusting me daily for everything! So don’t worry about everyday life; food, drink, or clothes. Your heavenly father already knows all your needs, and he will give you all you need from day to day, if you live for him, and make the kingdom of God your primary concern. Pastor Minner memorized the 23rd Psalm, The Lord’s Prayer, and John 3:16. That’s all the scripture he knew. And yet, when Pastor Minner obeyed The Holy Spirit’s instruction, and put his trust in The Holy Spirit alone, Yeshua’s teaching’s came to pass, as written in each story! I am what I am today, because Pastor Minner discipled me. Not with words, but by watching him! I left Love All People in 1995. The cry of my heart was; Whatever it is that you got, I want it. I want to be just like you! Keep on asking, and you will be given what you ask for.- Matthew chapter 7. There is a time for everything. A season for every activity under heaven!- Ecclesiastes chapter 3. Prentice died in 2008. The student became the teacher in 2009. These are my stories.
“What is faith?” It is written in Hebrews chapter 11: “It is the confident assurance that what we hope for is going to happen. It is the evidence of things we cannot yet see.” For in the kingdom, all the Lord’s promises prove true, when I obey your instruction, and trust you alone to bring it to pass. The New Testament equivalent is Matthew chapter 11: “All the teachings of the scriptures looked forward to this present time.” It is written in Deuteronomy chapter 8: “People need more than bread for their life. Real life comes by feeding on every word of the Lord.” In the kingdom, the instructions of the Lord are perfect reviving the soul. But unless I obey God better than the Pharisees and Sadducees do, I can’t enter the kingdom of heaven at all. For in the kingdom, the Holy Spirit is with those who obey him. Wait on the Lord. Trust in the Lord.
In February 2009, I received my final notice from the Clark County Treasurer that unless I brought into the office a cashier’s check in the amount of $4,984.64 by March 20th, my home would be auctioned off to pay
past due property taxes. I had been doing monthly concerts for three years, trying to do everything I could think of just to keep my head above water, and I failed. It was at this time one of my close friends told me to give him a list of all my friends, and he would contact them and tell them of my situation, but he said: ” Because of the economy, times are tough, we’ll just have to see!” So I got down on my knees and began to cry out to God in desperation. I said: “I have done everything I know how to do! They’re going to take my home away from me, I ain’t gonna live like no damn bum! If this is all I got to look forward to, you can cash my chips in and take me home. I don’t know how to fix this! Help me!” After this, I went out for a while and frantically began to sob. I finally stopped crying when I said: “I saw you do it for Prentice, so do it for me. I trust you God!” Then I got my first Divine instruction. The Holy Spirit told me to play to him, for his enjoyment! That’s it? That’s all?!! I need $5,000.00. That don’t fix my problem!! But the Holy Spirit reminded me that I said: “I don’t know how to fix this,” and that I had asked him for help. Now obey and trust me! So from that day on until March 20th, that is exactly what I did. At the end of each day, I said with a great amount of hope: “I trust you Lord.” It was now March 19th, and I got a call from my friend John. He said: “I’m picking you up at 4:30 P.M., be ready.” “What for?” I asked. “We gotta go to the bank” he said. We arrived at my branch at 4:55 P.M. All the employees knew me by first name. So Sam, the bank supervisor says: “Pat, what can I do for you?” At Sam’s desk, John pulls out $400.00. Then John pulls out a bundle of checks, hands them to me and says sign them. After I had signed them all, Sam added everything up. Sam looked at us and said: “This is for the house isn’t it?” I said “Yup.” He said: “Pat, I’m gonna do you a favor. I’m gonna put these checks through. I’m gonna waive the mandatory waiting period to process these checks.” This was the first part of the miracle. The second part came when he said: “Now, let me go cut you a cashier’s check in the amount of $4,984.64!”
Wisdom is shown to be right by what results from it.- Matthew chapter 11
When I obeyed his instructions and trusted him alone to bring it to pass, he did! In the kingdom, God is dependable.
