When bartender Max Gutierrez usually hands one of his patrons a slip of paper on a small clipboard, that usually signals the end of their interaction. But on one fated evening, it was just the beginning.<\/p>\n\n
A woman who goes by Trinity Allie on Twitter later posted about her interaction with Gutierrez, praising him for coming to her aid. Allie and a friend of hers were in his bar, being harassed by another patron. Noticing their distress, Gutierrez placed a note on the pad normally reserved for receipts, and surreptitiously handed it to Allie. The note read: “If this guy is bothering you, put your ponytail on your other shoulder, and I will have him removed. He’s giving me the creeps.”<\/p>\n\n
After following his instructions, Allie observed Gutierrez following through on his promise. He verbally accosted the man, then kicked him out of the bar. She was so grateful for his intervention, afterward she asked him to pose with a photo of the note. Allie’s photo post on Twitter was liked over 200,000 times, and garnered plenty of praise for the quick-thinking barman.<\/p>\n\n
God can use anyone to be an agent of divine protection; even something as simple as a pen and paper can be used to protect those in jeopardy.<\/em><\/p>","protected":false},"author":30,"featured_media":0,"template":"","tax_ctp_audience":[],"tax_ctp_authors":[],"tax_ctp_categories":[165],"tax_ctp_format":[171],"tax_ctp_illustration_types":[411],"tax_ctp_multimedia":[],"tax_ctp_point_editor":[],"tax_publications":[140],"tax_ctp_tags":[3753,3809,4076,4140,4535,4546,4569,4733,4808,4901,5086],"tax_ctp_topics":[395,400],"class_list":["post-37345","sermon-illustrations","type-sermon-illustrations","status-publish","hentry","tax_publications-ct-pastors","tax_ctp_tags-deliverance","tax_ctp_tags-distress","tax_ctp_tags-good-deeds","tax_ctp_tags-help","tax_ctp_tags-neighbor","tax_ctp_tags-news-that-illustrates","tax_ctp_tags-oppression","tax_ctp_tags-protection","tax_ctp_tags-rescue","tax_ctp_tags-security","tax_ctp_tags-stress"],"acf":{"scripture_references":[{"first_verse":null,"add_second_verse":false,"second_verse":null},{"first_verse":null,"add_second_verse":false,"second_verse":null},{"first_verse":null,"add_second_verse":false,"second_verse":null},{"first_verse":null,"add_second_verse":false,"second_verse":null},{"first_verse":null,"add_second_verse":false,"second_verse":null},{"first_verse":null,"add_second_verse":false,"second_verse":null},{"first_verse":null,"add_second_verse":false,"second_verse":null},{"first_verse":null,"add_second_verse":false,"second_verse":null},{"first_verse":null,"add_second_verse":false,"second_verse":null},{"first_verse":null,"add_second_verse":false,"second_verse":null}]},"yoast_head":"\n
