If she can. I'll never say it's too late, but I'm reminded of a story from West Memphis, AR before I got there. Prophet R.L. M was preaching a revival there in the 80's. During service he stopped and said someone is going to die, they've been causing problems for a neighboring church. He said for them to make things right with that pastor (who happened to be there). The man responsible got up, went to the pastor, who accepted the apology and along w/ Bro. Ml, prayed him through (I believe that's how it went). What I know sure is Bro M called it out, the guy got right. After service he had a heart attack in the foyer, and before he was laid on sidewalk outside he was dead.

We tend to forget the severity of God, and major on the goodness. Hearing about Bro. C in Thailand and what befell those who opposed what God was trying to do, and other stories of people trying to wreck a church, it makes me wonder what's going to happen here. I'm nervous for this lady and preacher.

C, confessed (wrote it I guess) and was converted to Jesus Name/HG message.

Because if someone's jaw was locked after the pastor spoke to them here, that person would see a lawyer and sue the pastor. We love to sue in this country!

So God is keeping pastors from being sued?
