Marian Chadwick, owner of a Frisco, Texas jewelry store, was
helping a customer when an armed robber walked in. He demanded that
Chadwick and client Kathy Vereen hit the floor, but Chadwick had
other ideas...
Instead of complying with the armed intruder's wishes, the owner
of Extravagant Necessities decided to bust out some scripture on him
(see video above).
"In the name of Jesus, I command you to get out of my store," she
announced to the assailant. "You are bound by the Holy Spirit and
you are leaving."
The bad guy -- either fearing God's wrath or worried that he has
a crazy lady on his hands -- attempts to resume his robbery. But
after realizing it's futile, he reluctantly backs out of the store.
Police don't recommend this as a preferred method of repelling
robbers. What if he's an adherent of the Devil or, worse, an Obama
supporter intent on a grand redistribution of wealth, as Glen Beck
so often warns?
Naah.
"He could have shot Kathy," Vereen told CBS. "He told her to get
on the floor, but she said no. He could have grabbed anything, but
he was totally arrested by the Holy Spirit. The power of God filled
the store and it just pushed him back."
