A robber failed to snatch bags from the women he attacked when they started praying for him. instead, he began to encounter God’s love instead and received acceptance and forgiveness.
Power of Prayer
You will never know what awaits you as you start your day. You may have a to-do list for the day, but there are things that we can never control.
Just like these women who were caught on a CCTV camera. The two women seemed to have been coming or going from church as they had their Bibles. They were casually talking and standing on a sidewalk, not knowing that a robber was watching them.

Then, the robber and his accomplice rushed toward them on a motorcycle. He got off and threatened the women demanding their valuables.
Instead of getting intimidated by the situation, the women stood their ground. One of them started to lift her hands and pray. The other woman followed suit and refused to had over her bag. She placed her Bible on the robber and began to pray for him.
The situation confused the robber’s accomplice and he drove off.
Robber Failed
Then, something amazing happened! The robber suddenly kneeled. As the man kneeled, the two women ministered to him and prayed.
They then led him to Jesus, and he encountered God’s love.
The man, who was a robber when he kneeled, stood up a changed man. The two women hugged him as a gesture of acceptance and forgiveness.
There is indeed power in our prayers and declarations. Some who have watched the reel shared their thoughts.
User @rhonda_jjean shared, “My cousin worked on a chips truck in the 80’s. A man robbed him at gunpoint. He started ministering to the guy! And he was a preacher. The guy got down on his knees, repented, and gave his heart to Jesus!!”
Indeed, no one is too far gone for the grace of Jesus!
