A viral video has captured the moment the police attempted to arrest Prophet EJ Newton, the leader of 433 Church in Miami following a report from his ex-wife.
The clergyman was delivering his sermon when officers off-camera could be heard requesting to speak with him.
The surprised ‘man of God’ then told his congregation to keep praying and then left the altar to meet the police outside.
The viral video which surfaced on social media had a caption indicating that EJ Newton was in trouble for kidnapping.
“Police stop church service in an attempt to arrest Prophet EJ Newton on kidnapping charges,” read one IG post.
It was alleged the man of God failed to return his children following a visit, leading to his ex-wife informing the authorities.
The pastor later explained that his attempted arrest was related to a child custody battle with his ex-wife, who reported to authorities that he was trying to flee the country amid a parenting schedule case.
He wrote:
”This happened during service… I’ve been secluded by the police, not allowed to leave.
The moment I stepped off stage, our online service was flooded with false accusations. THEY – the same people who recruited my ex-wife – are now working together. They have my ex wife claiming that I’m trying to flee the country in the middle of a parenting schedule case. A judge granted an emergency extraction.
They had people come also into the service which we spotted. This whole thing has been so weird but…
Let me be clear – I am not fleeing. I never planned to go anywhere.
Now, they’re searching members’ cars and preventing them from leaving church grounds.
But God will prevail. I will not stop speaking truth and exposing darkness.
If this is the cost of repentance and speaking up against occultism and witchcraft in the church, then use me, Lord. Purify me. Strengthen me. Make me more like You.
I love my children, and this breaks my heart. My babies do not deserve this.
I am a great father. A great husband.
“Unto thee, O Lord, do I lift up my soul.” – Psalm 25:1
Hear my cry, O Lord, attend to my prayer.
THIS is what victory looks like!
THIS is what victory looks like!
My message today was “He saved me, Yes He did.”
Jesus is in my boat. WE HAVE VICTORY.”
