Trust God
It is written in the book of Daniel: Your Majesty, you are the head of gold. After your kingdom has come to an end, another great kingdom, inferior to yours, will rise to take your place. After that kingdom has fallen, yet a third great kingdom will rise to rule the world. Following that kingdom, there will be a fourth great kingdom as strong as iron. That kingdom will smash and crush all previous empires. During the reigns of those kings, the God of heaven will set up a kingdom that will never be destroyed. No one will ever conquer it! It will shatter all these kingdoms into nothingness, but it will stand forever!
It is written in Psalms chapter 18: for this, O Lord, I will praise you among the nations; I will sing praises to your name. It is written in Psalms chapter 103: Praise the Lord; I tell myself, with my whole heart, I will praise his Holy name. Praise the Lord; I tell myself, and never forget the good things he does for me!

It is written in Psalms chapter 145: I will praise you my God, and king, and bless your name forever and ever.
Then I said; I don’t know what that is, and I sure don’t know how to do it!
It is written in Psalms chapter 9: Tell the world about his unforgettable deeds.

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 right 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.
On 9-11-11, after I had returned home from church, a 40-60 mile per hour gale storm hit Las Vegas. My house was already deteriorating, so I stood in the house and prayed: “Lord, my house is deteriorating. My roof is falling apart, and my floor is too! I don’t know how much of this, the old house can take, help!” As I was walking through the house getting depressed, the Lord told me to speak to it. Speak to it?!! What’s that supposed to do? Those are 60 mile per hour gale force winds!!! After about five minutes, he said: “That’s what I did.” So I said to myself: I ain’t got nothing else better to do. So I stepped out my front door and I told the rain to stop falling, and the wind to stop blowing. Then I went back into the house and sat down. I didn’t expect anything to come of it. But about five minutes later, all was quiet. So I stepped outside and saw that the rain had stopped, and the wind was no more than a cool breeze. Once again, my house was saved.
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.
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!
In 2012, the Holy Spirit told me to go, tell the world about his unforgettable deeds. 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 19th, I received a call from the F.P.C. and they told me to go to the Boys and Girls Club on Saturday, June 23rd because there was a gift there waiting for me. So I went that Saturday morning and they handed me a gift card for 500.00. On June 30th, I performed my farewell to Las Vegas Concert. During this concert, I received a love offering of $400.00, which paid for me to go and tell the world about his unforgettable deeds. I only completed half the tour and was forced to postpone the remainder of the tour until Christmas. I returned to Las Vegas on August 21st, 2012. By November 2nd, my house sold for $60.000.00. By the time all the unpaid bills had been paid, I was left with $37,000.00. On my 50th birthday, November 2nd, I performed a happy birthday to me concert and was given $400.00. On December 19th, I was scheduled to go to New Jersey, California, and Washington, to finish my tour. On December 17th, I received a call from the First Presbyterian Church Office and they asked me to come to the office the next day. So I did. When I arrived, they handed me a gift card and said: “We heard you were going on tour again so this is a little something for the trip, have a Merry Christmas!” The gift card was loaded with $500.00, so I left for New Jersey the next day and once again, my entire trip to tell the world about his unforgettable deeds was completely paid for!
For this, O Lord, I will praise you among the nations. I will praise you my God, and king, and bless your name forever and ever. I am telling the world about his unforgettable deeds. I am publishing his glorious deeds among the nations @ Loveallpeople.net. I am telling everyone about the amazing things he does. I am letting the whole world know what he has done. I tell everyone about his miracles. I praise the Lord every time I tell my testimony.
