VIDEO: Man enters church with rifle and clip – but check out his response when the pastor asked to pray with him!

Well, this is a reason to give thanks to God.  A man walked into “Heal The Land Outreach Ministries” in North Carolina with a rifle in one hand (pointing up) and an ammo clip in the other.  The pastor took swift action, but the scene was dramatic:

Church members started screaming, others were running straight for the door.

“I was very scared I had my granddaughter with me and I just automatically grabbed her and braced her head so if any bullets would fly, I’d get the bullets and not my granddaughter,” said Janice Johnson, a church member.

Wright says the man calmly shared he’d been previously hurt by the church, recently released from prison and was also a veteran.

He then asked for prayers.

Wright took the gun away and called for other men to come and embrace the suspect.

“When I told the congregation, its OK, he wants prayer and I began to pray for him, and the power of God hit and he fell to his knees and began to cry and weep and he had his face on the ground,” Pastor Wright said.

After praying, the man sat down and listened to the rest of Wright’s sermon.

Wright says the man then apologized to the congregation and professed his faith in Christ.

After the service, police took him into custody.  Watch the interview with the pastor below:
