SID: And if you don’t have access to Jesus, and you have everything, you have nothing. Patricia was making breakfast one morning and suddenly an angel was in the kitchen with three prophetic scrolls about the future. You’re making, I think you told me scrambled eggs or something, and having breakfast. I, you have some guests, tell me about them.
PATRICIA: Yeah. So, this is really important I think, Sid, because a lot of times believers think that you have to be in some kind of spiritual retreat or spiritual position to receive from God. But I was just cooking eggs. I was cooking breakfast for my house guests, and all of a sudden I felt the presence of an angelic being behind me, and it was, it made me stop what I was doing. And then I went to turn to see if I could actually see it in visionary form, which I didn’t by the way. But I did see in my spirit three scrolls, which I knew were three messages.
And to my understanding, the angel delivered three messages from the Lord for my personal life and ministry at that time. After it left, the presence of God lingered in the room. My guest came down. I told them what happened. The presence was still there. We ate our eggs, went on to a tent meeting that we were hosting at the time. I went into worship and all of a sudden the presence came back again and I went into what I call a word encounter. Maybe I could even describe it as going inside of a scroll, I don’t know, but it was an unfolding of revelation by the spirit of God, of one scripture in the Bible and it was Genesis 26, Verse 12 and 13, which is a story about Isaac sowing a seed, sowing his seed, and as a result of that, it opened up into four realms of abundance. And so this revelation was coming to me. It was inside, I could feel the presence of the Lord all around me.
SID: I feel the presence of the Lord now.
PATRICIA: I can too also. And He showed me, He said he wants his people to engage in all four realms of abundance because He came to give us abundance of life. Now at that time, our ministry actually had a financial need. We were working on a project and we were about $100,000 short of fulfilling the project, but we were believing God for it. I looked at the first part and the first realm was the realm of increase on the seed that you sow, if you sow, you reap. And it said a hundred fold in the same year. I only had two months left to the year, but I had this faith that was like the spirit of God said, “I’m going to fulfill this need before the end of the year.”
And I just had this spirit of faith. I brought out my checkbook, I wrote a check. No one was taking an offering or anything like this. This was just the leading of the spirit. I wrote out a check for $1,000 and I said, “God, I’m sowing this in faith and I’m going to believe for $100,000 to come in to meet this need.” So I ran up, put it in the basket. Again, no one was taking an offering. I just did it and I felt the joy of the Lord. And the Lord said that seed is going to open up these four realms of abundance.
So the first is that you receive a hundredfold return. The second was that you would be blessed. The third is he became rich. And then the fourth was he became wealthy. And there’s a difference between rich and wealth. Rich is your personal abundance. Wealth is the way you influence the world with what you have. And I thought, this is amazing. I was just so full of faith. Well, in less than three weeks, the $100,000 need and more was met for that project that we were working on. And we got personally blessed, and it just continued to grow and grow and grow.
