Russell Wilson, quarterback for the Seattle Seahawks, told a crowd in San Diego Sunday that God spoke to him after he threw a pass intercepted by the New England Patriots that led to the Seahawks Super Bowl loss.
The New England Patriots beat the Seattle Seahawks 28-24 at Super Bowl 49 at the University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale, Arizona.
Wilson told Pastor Miles McPherson of The Rock Church, “This may sound crazy to some people. So, the play happens, and they pick the ball off. And I take three steps. One. Two. Three. And on the third step God says to me, ‘I’m using you. I want to see how you respond. But most importantly I want them to see how you respond.”
The audience applauded Wilson, and the NFL athlete then spoke about his team’s victory the week before over the Green Bay Packers and said how the obstacles he faces are what forces him to turn to Christ.
“Over the past five months or six months or whatever I’ve been able to see how God has been using me. You know? And that everything is perfect,” said Wilson. “I think sometimes as Christians we lose this… And like it says in James 1. It says ‘Consider it pure joy to go through trials and tribulations.”
Wilson is also making headlines for saying during the same interview that he plans to practice abstinence with his girlfriend, singer Ciara.
