Fani Willis returned to church to accept an award and deliver a brief sermon on her court hearing.
"The scripture they keep sending me is 'No weapon formed against you shall prosper'...They did not say the weapons will not form, and that's the part I didn't hear until recently."
Atlanta Berean Church, a Seventh-Day Adventist congregation, hosted Willis this Saturday for nearly 20 minutes of adulation, starting with lead pastor Dr. Sherwin Jack declaring, "She is one of us" (1:26).
The church presented Willis with a "Black History Achievement Award," SDA founder Ellen G. White's "Conflict Of The Ages" book series, and more.
"These beautiful flowers are for you, the beautiful person that you are. We love you."
The church's leadership and several other Fulton County elected officials gathered around Fani in prayer.
"We ask, oh God, that even now that you'll be with Sister
Willis...That your power that's above any other power will reside not just around her but in her."
"We ask, Lord, that you'll open up the windows of Heaven and pour out a blessing that is so mighty and so bold and so brave and so precise that she could not help but to say, "My help cometh from the Lord.'"
The "weapon formed against" Willis was an alleged years-long affair with a married man that she has merely described as a "mistake" and an "imperfection."
