<p>A pastor in Ferguson, <a href="https://dev.theshaderoom.com/missouri-hospital-under-investigation-for-denying-abortion-to-woman-facing-medical-emergency/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Missouri</a>, is making headlines over his account of how he and his congregants allegedly stopped a robbery through the power of prayer!</p>
<h3 style="text-align: center;">The Pastor Was Livestreaming A Service During The Ordeal</h3>
<p>According to <a href="https://www.ksdk.com/article/news/local/ferguson-pastor-saves-church-robbery-prayer/63-5d54dfb2-4376-4891-a495-074af2bb86f0" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><em>KSDK</em></a>, Pastor Marquaello Futrell notes that—back on February 12—four masked men interrupted his morning service at All Creation Family Church, which was being livestreamed.</p>
<p>Futrell says the first sign that something was off was when, shortly ahead of the masked intruders, a man entered the church and began questioning its Children Services Director.</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;I immediately just had the hairs on the back of my neck. I&#8217;m like, &#8216;OK, something&#8217;s about to happen.'&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>Once the masked men entered the building, the pastor—who is a former police officer—noted that they were armed.</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;Me being a former police officer, I immediately noticed their waistbands, I&#8217;m like, &#8216;There&#8217;s something there.'&#8221;</p></blockquote>

<p>In turn, Futrell said he &#8220;asked the director to lock the doors and keep the children safe.&#8221;</p>
<h3 style="text-align: center;">The Congregation Reportedly Showered The Men In Prayer: &#8216;God&#8217;s About To Change The Enemy&#8217;</h3>

<p>Additionally, rather than freaking out, he &#8220;directed his media team to zoom in on them&#8221; and proceeded with the service as usual.</p>
<p>While addressing the men, Futrell said, &#8220;Saw the church and decided to come? Talk to me.&#8221; He then declared that &#8220;God&#8217;s about to change the enemy&#8221; before calling on the congregation to &#8220;shout unto God.&#8221;</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;I&#8217;ve still got a cop anointing and I still know what&#8217;s going on and what&#8217;s about to happen. God&#8217;s about to change the enemy. Lift your voice and shout unto God!&#8221;</p></blockquote>

<p>The churchgoers then reportedly lifted their hands and surrounded the men in prayer, and the intruders ultimately decided to leave the building.</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;I believe they felt the power of God lifted in their hands, then they left.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>The pastor also added, &#8220;The Bible speaks of watch and pray, so while we’re being spiritual, I’m also watching around, trying to protect the congregants.&#8221;</p>
<p><em>KDSK </em>reports that the Ferguson Police Department is still on the lookout for the suspects, who they confirmed left in a black Mustang.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s also noted that the congregation has begun implementing active shooter drills in the wake of the incident.</p>
