Yeah this is my prayer corner over there. Oh wow. OK. So that's where you pray for the people. I pray all the time. Really? Yeah, yeah, Fearlessly praying, fearlessly unafraid, and you'll hear *** defender of her faith. *** few days ago, *** shopper in this store set down her purse, then noticed someone. her credit cards. Sister Mary Madeleine went into action and chased the thief. She got the credit cards back. What makes you go after these people who are trying to do these bad things? I don't, you don't think about now that I. No, there's no. Why is it just happened, it happened so fast. The crimes happen fast and so does her instinct, and she says these are children of God who can be changed. I just think she was misled. Then there was *** time someone stole an expensive necklace from the store. As he was walking out the door, and I started falling and he turned around and says, I don't wanna have to shoot you, and I said, listen, all I want to tell you is that Jesus loves you. So on and then then and he went out, then I went out after him. And there were several other times things like this have happened, so why does she do it? All his children, whether we know it or not, you know, sometimes there's *** lot of crud on us, and you have to get that cleaned off to be able to see. Fearless, not in her own strength, she says, but in the strength of the one she represents. So, obviously there are people in the world going through hard times. You come face to face with them. What do you want to say to those people? Jesus loves you. God loves you. And that plain and simple, she says, is why she does all she does in whatever situation.
