The Incredible Moment A Missouri Church Foils An Armed Robbery By Praying For Alleged Gunmen — ‘God’s Changing The Plot’
A plan to rob a church got foiled as a quick-thinking pastor caught on and managed to stop it before anything could happen.
A live stream video from the church shows the moment Pastor Marquaello Futrell, a former St. Louis police officer, was in the middle of Sunday service at All Creation Northview Holiness Family Church in Ferguson, Missouri when a group of young men walked in wearing masks. Per the KSDK, he noticed that the guys had guns in their waistbands. Pastor Futrell instantly used his old police instincts to intervene while also using his God-given skills to preach. “I immediately just had the hairs [stand] on the back of my neck. I’m like, ‘OK, something’s about to happen,’’ Futrell told the news outlet. “Me being a former police officer, I immediately noticed their waistbands. I’m like, “‘There’s something there.’”
Futrell went into action with the help of the church and instructed his media team to turn their cameras on the four men who were sitting towards the back of the church. “Who sent ya’ll here? Just saw the church and decided to come?’ Futrell asked. “Talk to me. Let’s praise God for them coming. I said praise God that God sent them here!” Futrell said as he encouraged the congregation to applaud. “Don’t you play with me – I still got a cop anointing and I still know what’s going on and I still know what’s about to happen.”
He went on to inform them that “God’s changing the plot.”
“God is about to change the plot of the enemy. Lift your voices and shout unto God for what he’s about to do!” Futrell said with a rousing tone” From there, the pastor asked the men if everyone could pray for them. The men went on to bow their heads in silence as the entire congregation sang and said their prayers:
“See, that wasn’t so bad, brothers,” Futrell told the men. “Thank you all for letting us pray for you. And we’re thankful that for whatever reason, the Lord let you all come here. That when you walked on the ground, you walked on Holy Ghost turf.” He continued, “We are thankful that for whatever reason the Lord let you come here and I believe that you will never be the same again,” Futrell said.
As the news site notes, the men were in the church for 20 minutes before they left.
“I just heard the Lord say, ‘This is what happens when you illegally trespass,’” Futrell said as a final thought during the service.
Speaking with Fox News, Futrell said “We found out later they were wanted in connection with two robberies from convenience stores. We believe that they were intending to rob us, do some harm, but we believe that God is the greatest power and we cannot be defeated so I had those instincts. I engaged them and we prayed form and they knew that they were being recorded.”
Police are still searching for the young men, according to the Daily Mail.
