God will shield us from all harm and sickness:' Louisiana pastor expects 2,000 to attend his Easter

Rev. Tony Spell from Baton Rouge, Louisiana said he expected 2,000 to attend his Easter service at Apostolic Life Tabernacle Church despite the governor's stay-at-home order.

"Satan and a virus will not stop us," Spell, told Reuters in an interview. "God will shield us from all harm and sickness."

Spell has gained a lot of media attention in recent weeks for defiantly holding in-person services despite Gov. John Bel Edwards' ban on gatherings of 50 or more people.

Spell was arrested on March 31 and charged with six misdemeanors for violating the governor's executive order.

how about using the brain that God provided you with so that you'd be able to help yourself!
