Yesterday, April 16th, it was announced that American Christian Pastor Josh Sullivan, was rescued, via a vicious gunfight, in South Africa:

He had been abducted at church by masked gunmen, while giving a sermon, right in front of his family members and congregation. (Good job, dummies.)

And, apparently, the kidnappers were found in a vehicle about 20 miles from the church, when local law enforcement, who had “hunted them down,” engaged in a gunfight with them. Three perpetrators were fatally shot, but the pastor was “miraculously unharmed.”

You really should not lay a hand on the Lord’s anointed. It’s not a good idea.

Praise the Lord, and thank Him for saving this man.

Isaiah 54:17: “no weapon forged against you will prevail, and you will refute every tongue that accuses you. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, and this is their vindication from me,” declares the Lord.”

Psalm 37:40: The Lord helps them and delivers them; he delivers them from the wicked and saves them, because they take refuge in him.
