Your Questions, Honest Answers: - February 15, 2021

SHOULD CHRISTIANS KEEP THEIR MONEY WITHIN CHRISTIAN LENDING AND BANKING SERVICES? HOW DO YOU SHARE WITH A 12-YEAR-OLD BOY WHO DOESN'T BELIEVE IN OUR ALMIGHTY GOD? Read Transcript


- All right.

- Okay, time for some questions.

You ready?- Let's go for 'em, yeah.

- This is Holly, who says, "Dear Pat.

I've been watching youhear the Lord for words

of knowledge for healingduring the program

for a long time.

How does God normally speak to you

during this time and was there a time

when you were nervous to do this on air?"

- There was a time when I was scared

to death to do it on air.

I mean, you couldn't believe it.

You think well, am I hearingfrom the Lord or not?

And, my great story had to do

with the peanut butter thing.

I'm sitting there just like I am now.

We're ministering and allof a sudden this thing,

there was peanut butter everywhere.

I can taste it and see it and smell it

and it was everywhere.

And I said I don't know what this is,

but somebody's involved with peanut butter

and I think you're being healed of cancer.

And lo and behold, there was a woman

who had just dropped ajar of peanut butter,

it was on the floor andshe was on her knees wiping

it up and watching the program

with a little TV set

and the Lord healed her.

But it was peanut butter.

But you think, am I gonnasay that on television.

It was crazy, but God is able

and we're seeing literally hundreds

and hundreds and hundreds of people

who are being healed

as the Lord is giving us

the word of knowledge, all right.

- Well, Pat, this is William.

He says, "Hi, Pat, I've been wondering

for a long time, should Christians keep

their money within Christian lending

and banking services?

I do not want my money with a bank

that does not have Christian values

and I was wondering whatyour thoughts are on this?"

- If you know a bank thathas Christian values,

I don't know what it is.

I have my account with JP Morgan Chase.

They do a real good job

and I've got a special team of people

who handle certain accounts and

the banking system is just too big

to worry about are theyChristians running it.

I don't know of any firm

that can say well,we're Christian bankers.

It just doesn't compute, all right.

- This is Vincent, who wants to know,

"How do you share with a 12-year-old boy

who doesn't believe in our Almighty God?"

- Ask that little 12-year-old boy,

you know, there was an idol maker

who made statues that people worshiped

and he said, "Okay, I'm making statues

that people worship, butmy hand makes these statues

and my hand makes the statues,

but who made my hand?"

And he said, "I want to worship the one

who made my hand."

And I think you ought to ask

that little 12-year-oldboy could you tell us

who made your hand.

And ask him say, look, when you die,

where are you going?

What's going to happen to you next?

And let him think, it is appointed unto

a man once to die andafter that the judgment.

And I don't know how sophisticated

this 12-year-old is,

but if you confront himwith what God has done,

the greatness of God and, you know,

the relationship that he has with you,

I think it will help you a lot, all right.

- This is James, who says,

"Pat, electric cars are great

and will save a great dealof money in the long run.

We do not have the power to generate

enough electricity tocharge all these cars.

California can hardlykeep the lights on now.

How will we recharge thebatteries of 300 million cars?"

- Well, that's a problemthey're gonna have to deal with,

but I think they're alreadystarting recharging stations,

interesting, some of the big oil companies

are already changingto recharging stations

and just like how couldyou provide gas and oil

in all these cars?

Well, you have to have a network

and they begin little by little

as a filling station here,

another filling station,

before long you've got roads.

Same thing with the electric cars.

We'll have charging stations.

I wouldn't worry about it, all right.

- Okay, this is a viewer who says,

"Hi, Pat, I just read in John 3:13

that no one except Jesushas gone to heaven.

No one has ascended to heaven, he says,

but he who came down from heaven,

that is the Son of Man who is in heaven.

Didn't Elijah and Enoch go to heaven

in the Old Testament?

Doesn't Bible say that there is

a great chasm between earth and hell

that no one can cross?"

- I don't really, you'reasking several questions

and I don't know.

Yes, they were caught up in a whirlwind,

but, you know, the Bibletalks about several heavens.

Paul said, "I was caughtup into the third heaven."

There's there's the heavenright above the earth

and, you know, I don't really,

that question is just toocomplicated to answer.

- There may not be ananswer this side of heaven.

- All right, there's noanswer this side of heaven.

I'll leave it at that.

But the Lord, he showedus when we saw Jesus,

"He that has seen me has seen the Father."

That's what Jesus told us, all right.
