First, I have some bad news, then, I have good news!
Author: Pat Sue
It is written in Psalms chapter 10: Proud and wicked people viciously oppress the poor. They brag about their evil desires. They praise the greedy and curse the Lord. These wicked people are too proud to seek God. They seem to think that God is dead. Yet they succeed in everything they do. They do not see your punishment awaiting them. They pour scorn on all their enemies. They say to themselves; nothing bad will ever happen to us. We will be free of trouble forever. Their mouths are full of cursing, lies, and threats. Trouble and evil are on the tips of their tongues. They lurk in dark alleys murdering the innocent who pass by. They are always searching for some helpless victim. Like lions, they crouch silently, waiting to pounce on the helpless. Like hunters, they capture their victims, and drag them away in nets. The helpless are overwhelmed and collapse. They fall beneath the strength of the wicked. The wicked say to themselves God is not watching, he will never notice.
It is written in Psalms chapter 11: The wicked are stringing their bows and fitting their arrows on the bowstrings. They shoot from the shadows at those whose hearts are right. The foundations of law and order have collapsed. What can the righteous do?
It is written in Psalms chapter 12: They say; we will lie to our hearts content. Our lips are our own. Who can stop us?
It is written in Psalms chapter 14: The wicked frustrate the plans of the oppressed! All these things are happening today, and have been happening for many decades, but don’t take my word for it, read your daily paper.
Now, for that good news!!!
It is written in Psalms chapter 1: Sinners will have no place among the Godly. It is written in Psalms chapter 4: I can be sure of this; the Lord set apart the Godly for himself. For example; it is written in Psalms chapter 18: (In the kingdom), to the faithful, you show yourself faithful. To those with integrity, you show integrity. To the pure, you show yourself pure. But, to the wicked, you show yourself hostile. You rescue the humble, but you humiliate the proud.
It is written in Psalms chapter 34: (In the kingdom), the righteous person faces many troubles, but the Lord comes to the rescue each time, It is written in Psalms chapter 37: (In the kingdom), The Lord directs the steps of the godly; he delights in every detail of their lives.
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, (Matthew chapter 6). 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 our stories.
Rev Minner gave up his successful career and began to work with Love All People. Along with the career went the money, the credit cards, and the luxury cars. All that was left was the home, and the motor home, where the girls stayed. If they lost that, the girls would have no place to stay. We needed $1,800.00. Roger McDuff, a friend of Rev. Minner, invited him to a pastor’s convention in Anaheim, California. The Holy Spirit told Rev. Minner to go.
Rev. Minners family told him he was crazy to go all the way to California; 1. We have no money to pay these bills. 2. We have no food money. 3. We have no gas money, how are you going to get there? To which he replied: “I have to go, God told me to go.” So the group gathered together to pray before departing. Just then a knock at the door, Rev. Minner went to look through the peep hole and said; “Oh no, not another hand out.” But, he opened the door, and there stood Harmony, a young veteran who usually came over for coffee and conversation. But, not this time. He said he couldn’t stay, and that the Lord told him to give Love All People $125.00. So he did and then left. Be careful how you treat strangers, you never know when you might be entertaining angels. With that money, we gassed up our vehicles, and left for Anaheim.
Love All People was expecting to receive a love offering for our first major appearance. Looking at the size of the crowd, we just knew we would have enough to catch up on all our bills! Then we got the word there would be no love offering that night. How are we going to pay for the motor home? How are we going to get home? Just before benediction, Dick Mills called Love All People to the podium so the people could stretch forth their hands and pray for us. As they were praying, people were standing in the aisles and placing money into the kid’s hands, who began shoveling the money into their pockets. There was over $1,800.00 received that night.
“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 doesn’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 have to 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.
Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think! Then you will know what God wants you to do and you will know how good and pleasing and perfect His will really is. Trust in the Lord with all your heart. Do not depend on your own understanding. Seek his will in all you do, and he will direct your paths! Then you will understand what is right, just, and fair. And you will know how to find the right course of action every time! The seed that fell on good soil represents those who truly hear and understand God’s word and produce a harvest of thirty, sixty, or even a hundred times as much as had been planted!
On April 2nd 2012, I received a notification from The Clark County Treasurer’s office that I had until June 7th, 5:00 P.M. 2012, to pay in full $3,500.00, or my property would be auctioned off to pay property taxes. I had no money. I should have lost my mind! I sat down and wept bitterly for 10 minutes. Then I stopped crying. The song that Rev. Minner sang so many times began to cross my mind: “I trust in God.” I trust in God for instruction: What do you want me to do today?
I trust in God for direction for my future: What is my field of service for you? What is my destiny? The instruction that I obey today paves the way for the path I am to walk on later.
I trust in God for provision to accomplish every instruction I am given.
I trust in God for protection every day of my life.
In the kingdom, those who know your name trust in you. In the kingdom, the helpless put their trust in you. In the kingdom, the needy will not be ignored forever, when they obey your instruction, and trust you alone to bring it to pass. In the kingdom, the hopes of the poor will not always be crushed, when they obey your instruction, and trust you alone to bring it to pass. In the kingdom, no one who trusts in you will ever be disgraced. And that is why in the kingdom, I trust in you my God. I trust in your unfailing love. My heavenly father already knows all my needs, and he will give me all I need from day to day if I live for him, and make the kingdom of God my primary concern.
People began asking me: “Pat, how are you doing?” I replied: “just fine.” Well, June 7th came and passed with no 3,500.00. So I said: “O.K. Lord, now what do I do?” I lost the house. Where do I go from here? Go into all the world and tell the world about my unforgettable deeds. Wait a minute, Lord; I have no transportation; no car, no truck, no motorcycle. How am I supposed to get there? Matthew chapter 10: “Go and announce to them that the kingdom of heaven is near. Don’t take any money with you. Don’t carry a traveler’s bag with an extra coat and sandals, or even a walking stick. Don’t hesitate to accept hospitality, because those who work deserve to be fed. Whenever you enter a city or village, search for a worthy man and stay in his home until you leave for the next town. When you are invited into someone’s home, give it your blessing.” So I began to call friends from all over the country, and told them I was coming to their city soon. To which they replied: “Come on Pat, we’ll be glad to have you!” On June 12th 2012, two of my Sue family of friends came to see me and said, what’s wrong, Pat? So I showed them the notice from the Clark County Treasurer. So they grabbed me up and said: Let’s go! We went to the County Treasurer’s Office and I said: “It’s already too late!” But we went anyway. The receptionist told us it was in the process of being deeded, but full payment would reverse the process. And that is exactly what happened. My house was returned to me!
God blesses those who realize their need for him, for the kingdom of heaven is given to them. I am praying to you because I know you will answer, O God. Lead me in the right path, O Lord, tell me clearly what to do, and show me which way to turn. He did! Show me the path where I should walk, O Lord. Point out the right road for me to follow. Lead me by your truth and teach me. He did! In the kingdom, The Holy Spirit will answer when I call to him, when I obey your instruction, and trust you alone to bring it to pass. In the kingdom, the Holy Spirit has heard my plea. The Holy Spirit will answer my prayer, when I obey your instruction, and trust you alone to bring it to pass. He did! Show me your unfailing love in wonderful ways. He did! Create in me a clean heart O God, renew a right spirit within me, and make me willing to obey you. He did. 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.” So don’t worry about everyday life; food, drink, or clothes, and don’t worry about tomorrow for tomorrow will bring its own worries. I don’t anymore! I let God transform me into a new person by changing the way I think! It is written in Matthew chapter 11: “Wisdom is shown to be right by what results from it.” When I obeyed his instruction, and trusted him alone to bring it to pass, he did. In the kingdom, God is dependable! Go and announce to them that the kingdom of heaven is here. I do that every time I tell my testimony!
