ORLANDO, FLORIDA: A Florida evangelist is gaining attention online after footage showed her being escorted off a packed airplane for preaching to passengers while standing in the aisle.

The viral clip shows Whitney Lynn speaking about her faith inside the aircraft before airline employees asked her to leave. Lynn argued with staff during the incident, saying she was experiencing "spiritual warfare" while continuing to share her religious message.

In the widely shared video, Lynn is seen addressing passengers from the aisle of the plane before airline staff step in and ask her to exit the aircraft.

As she is escorted away, Lynn tells passengers, "God bless everybody, if you know Jesus today, make him lord of your life and continue to spread the gospel. We are in the last days. We are being persecuted, persecuted to be a Christian."

The interaction becomes tense as Lynn pushes back against the airline employee's instructions, claiming that "demons don't like the name of Jesus."

She also asks one staff member if he is from Puerto Rico, saying she "can't really understand" what he is saying. The video ends with Lynn continuing to defend her actions while leaving the aircraft.

The moment quickly spread across social media, sparking conversations about public preaching and passenger conduct during flights.

Whitney Lynn calls airplanes a chance to reach more people

According to The Washington Post, Lynn views flights as an opportunity to speak with people who may not otherwise hear her message.

"They have no choice but to hear the truth," Lynn said while explaining her approach.

She added, "When I have a gift, and I have a life raft, if you're drowning, I want to give you that life raft so you can be saved."

The flight incident was not the first time Lynn shared footage of herself preaching while traveling. Earlier this month, she posted another video recorded after a flight landed in San Diego

In that clip, Lynn spoke about Jesus, redemption, sin, heaven and hell as passengers waited to leave the aircraft. Many travelers appeared focused on their own conversations and belongings.

After sharing the video, Lynn wrote in her caption, "I just love a captive audience."

Evangelists continue using flights as platforms for religious messages

Lynn is among several evangelists who have used commercial flights as spaces to share religious messages, with some recording the interactions for social media.

The Washington Post also featured Maine evangelist Brett Raio, who said he feels compelled to preach whenever he believes he is being called to do so.

Explaining why he speaks to strangers during flights, Raio said, "You might not listen to God then that person goes and perishes." He added, "God had you there for that specific opportunity and you missed your shot."

Lynn's latest viral video has renewed discussions around religious expression, passenger comfort and the boundaries of public preaching during air travel.
