From Terror to Jesus Part 1

 
The three terrorist stood waiting for the moment to arrive. They prepared for this moment. It was five months in planning. They only had five minutes for execution. Every operative must be as an eye of a camera. Nothing can go wrong. Execution must be perfect. They had the support of a ten person team that stood in the background.

 

Eric asked himself, what was different about this time? Why was killing this pastor and staff different. Everything was too perfect. Conditions for every mission are different. Strangely, the conditions seemed too perfect.

 The plan is, they would storm in the church execute the pastor and those staff members that were outspoken against their religion. They were converting more citizens every day. Eric stood as something deep inside was telling him something was not right. Liam who was soft spoken and walked with a limp said nothing and Wister who was an experience soldier stood ready.

"I can't get this feeling out of my head. This is too perfect and perfect conditions are very rare". Everything is lined up. We have less than five minutes before we strike. We are the Pythons and we live for the strike. We are trained for adverse conditions. We live to improvise and improvise to live. We are not going to terminate this mission because things are too perfect. I just can't shake this strange feeling.

He texted his look out operative the text @$××€ which is the code for are things good from where you stand. He then received the text 123 which is the code for all is well.

The target was a Pentecostal church with about 300 members. There Pastor Mitch Pesche was from New York a no non sense pastor who believed in the miraculous power of God to deliver his people from the power of the "Evil One". The church now represented 50 nations of different ethnicities.

Pastor Mitch was now in the flow of the spirit, said to the congregation, "today we will be tested for our faith in God". "This is the day I spoke of in prophecy six months ago". "No matter what happens, keep your focus on the power of Jesus Christ".

Eric stood ready. Go..., he commanded.

The three men started running toward the doors of the church.

The inside operative cut off the security cameras and killed all the security alarms. He gathered all three security officers by gun point and handcuffed them to each other and moved toward the main auditorium.

Suddenly there was a loud boom at the main auditorium doors. The three men charged in while several men came forth out of the auditorium seats. Some of the members began screaming.

Pastor Mitch seemed unmoved by the chaos. He raised his hand and said "peace". The congregation grew still.

Eric shouted out, "You are a dead man". Pastor Mitch said, "More than you know". Eric and the other men began firing their weapons upon the pastor. Everyone saw the rounds come out of the automatic weapons and freeze in mid-air. To the amazement of the dozen terrorist, they thought to themselves this cannot be happening.

There must have been hundreds of rounds suspended in the air. Some people said they saw angels. Some began to speak in tongues.

Pastor Mitch said, "Silence".

The terrorist now were unable to move had terror in their eyes. Liam looked at Eric and Wister in horror. Wister who never said much said, "There is a God".

Pastor Mitch said “Now unto him that is able we give you the glory"! Eleven out of the twelve men began cussing.

"Come to the front all of you". Their legs began to move them to the front.

Pastor Mitch shouted out, "in the name of Jesus". They all fell as dead men at the altar. Their weapons fell beside them. They all begin hissing like snakes. "Be thou delivered from the things that has brought these spirits of hate upon you", shouted Pastor Mitch. Several terrorists began to scream with terror. Then there was a sound from heaven as a rushing of a mighty wind and it filled the auditorium. Everybody, men women boys and girls began to speak with tongues.

Liam stood there with tears streaming down his eyes, saying, "Oh God I am sorry I ran away from my calling as a child, return to me what I ran away from and I will serve you for the rest of my life". Liam who always walked with a limp, now walked straight. He praised God and begin to speak in tongues. The men who laid on the floor began to speak in tongues and prophesy. The bullets that were suspended in the air fell to the floor. A member just coming to church came in screaming about ten men laying dead in the street outside of the church, whom were later identified as terrorists.

Pastor Mitch had all the men seated in the front row as he made known many of the mysteries of the bible. He must have preached for thirty minutes until the police got there and escorted the men downtown. Pastor Mitch Pesche told the church that day, we must trust God no matter what the circumstance, no matter what the problem. Today God showed us in a miraculous way that he is on the side of the believer. This is not always the case because believers are killed every day. You must trust God!

Years later after serving a long prison sentence, Liam found Pastor Mitch now older. You saved our lives that day. Several men became lifelong Christians. Eric died in prison as a Christian. I got out earlier than the rest on a technicality. I quickly found a small Pentecostal assembly where I serve as a minister for years until I was elevated to pastor. I am thankful for that day Christ turned our lives around. Not all were saved. Some went farther into the religion of hate. Some were killed very torturously.

God be praised forever more.
