VIDEO: Gun fails three times as burglars try to shoot Apostle Stephen Andrews

By

Published

In what Apostle Dr Stephen Andrews describes as a miraculous escape, a burglar’s gun malfunctioned three separate times during an attempted shooting at St John’s Pentecostal House of Restoration Ministries early Sunday morning.

Andrews discovered intruders on the church compound around 3:30 am after finding an office had been broken into.

When confronted, one burglar repeatedly attempted to shoot Andrews, but the weapon failed to discharge all three times he pulled the trigger.

The suspects ultimately fled the scene with minor items including beverages from the refrigerator.

Andrews shared the dramatic account with his congregation during Sunday service.

The incident marks the second break-in at the church within days, following a Wednesday morning burglary where cash and electronic equipment were stolen.

      Are you greater than the one who created the universe? Or did you give yourself life? Can you live forever? Did you give yourself that breath of life that can be snatched anytime. Please ponder on these things and seek the higher power for we are nothing without this higher power. Seek knowledge, wisdom and understand. I pray that this higher power finds you today and snatch you out of this rebellious ways that the evil one has placed on your heart.

      Yes indeed. Yes the Lord manifest himself to those who seek him through the Holy Spirit. Seek the Lord while he may be found. The one who created the Heaven, the earth actually the Universe. See all in order Sun to give light by day and the moon, stars light by night.
      If you did it, then let us know.

    You people are so ungodly in Antigua and Barbuda. The man’s life was spared by God, and you come here questioning that? No wonder this island is under a curse. I am happy this pastor’s life was not taken away from him. GOD IS GOOD

      God what?? You people grew up indoctrinated with this story of god. If you were born in Afghanistan, you would believe in Allah. Religion is a joke and none of you people have ever spoken to this god. You are brainwashed

      When you reach the end of your life, may the God of Israel have mercy on you. Truly. You are the one brainwashed. I am in tears over this statement because you are in darkness. May you receive light so that your soul may be saved from hell? I read it is hot down there. Watch out!!

    Personally, I have had many miraculous experiences in my own life from prophetic dreams that actually came true to miraculous experiences in which I had a sudden inclination that I should do this not that and the results were dramatic – something unusually bad would happen if I didn’t do it or something untypically good would happen if I did. I have also had answers to prayers that could not be explained by chance alone. I have opened my Bible in important situations and it landed on rare verses or concepts that spoke directly to my situation. For me, I have enough personal evidence to believe in an all powerful, all knowing being greater than us. Why not? If we can invent computers and AI, it is not unreasonable to find that we ourselves could also have been created by someone with an intelligence greater than us. The universe is very mathematical in it’s design. It is quite rude to disparage other people’s beliefs without knowing their personal life stories and experiences or reasons for believing. Non-believers just assume that believers have no good reasons, indoctrination etc. but they never actually talk to believers in depth or ask the right questions. Anyway, people who lack faith will always find a reason to disbelieve other people’s experiences. That’s why really you need to seek out your own personal experience with God – go to church, read the Bible, pray etc. In this case with the pastor we don’t know whether it was a miracle or chance, but considering this is the first robbery in these parts in recent times in which that has reportedly happened, and it only happened to a man of God, it could indeed be a miraculous intervention from God. God could have arranged things so the crooks ended up with a jammed weapon. He could have jammed it himself if he wanted to. Since we don’t know, we should just thank God the pastor is alright and carry on with our lives instead of being rude about it.

    If you people were born in afghanistan, you would believe in Allah. And if you were Indian, it would be Jainism. You grew up with people telling you to believe in a book and dedicate your life to it and you just do as they say without questioning it like sheep😂You are all pathetic and can’t accept the fact that there is no Magic man in the sky granting wishes and protecting you. Everyone says “God” is protecting them and they still die some of the most gruesome deaths possible. If that’s the “god” you wanna praise, go right ahead. It is wrong that I give credit for my accomplishments to being that I have never seen or heard from. You cannot have faith in something that you don’t know is true 100%. You can only have hope and as far as I can see, your hope is false and useless because millions of godfearing people still struggle everyday thinking god is going to help them. It is truly sad

      Just because you don’t know God means He doesn’t exist.
      Who are you to tell someone that their hope is false and useless and that they don’t believe 100% in God? Faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see. Hebrews 11:1 My brother/sister, I hope that you’ll come to the realization that God is 100% real.
      Shalom

    Talking about a great God. Protecting his servants, protecting his very own son. This is an amazing story to show the world that God is still loving this world. Thank God for his life
