Mica Miller's pastor husband John-Paul threatened to show up at her sister's house 'armed and ready' while demanding to see his wife during 2022 altercation, disturbing texts reveal

Mica Miller's pastor husband sent a series of disturbing text messages intimidating and threatening his wife and her family during a bitter argument, nearly two years before their marriage broke down, DailyMail.com can reveal.

John-Paul Miller, 44, even warned that he was on his way to her sister's home 'armed' and 'ready' in November 2022 – bombarding them with bizarre texts in the early hours.

The messages, posted online by Mica's sister Sierra Francis, come after Mica, 30, was found dead in Lumber River State Park in North Carolina on April 27 from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

She was revealed to have taken her own life days after serving Miller with divorce papers, and officials have ruled her death a suicide.

But Mica's friends and family have since urged authorities to investigate her death further while publicly calling for 'justice for Mica' and local cops have brought in the FBI to help.

Now, unearthed messages seen by DailyMail.com reveal new details of the breakdown of the couple's marriage in the 18 months before their split, as well as Miller's threats to get Mica's sister-in-law Victoria fired from her teaching job in February of this year.

The unearthed texts show Mica had gone to visit her sister while she and her pastor husband John-Paul Miller were having 'issues' in late 2022 

Messages show Miller sent a text to Sierra saying he was on her way to her house, where Mica was staying in November 2022

In one tense exchange from November 17, 2022, Miller – a pastor at Solid Rock Church in Myrtle Beach – told his sister-in-law that he was on his way to her house, where Mica was visiting, and would be arriving at 1am. 

The texts show him challenging Sierra, saying, 'you can call the cops' after she warned that he wouldn't be allowed in their home.

He responded by saying: 'I'm armed. I'm ready. Mica can fix all of this', to which Sierra replied: 'THIS doesn't help anything. Threats and intimidation only make matters worse'.

The disgraced pastor said: 'I don't care (idc) Driving. Can't text. Thanks'. 

He was then told if he stayed home then the cops wouldn't be called, but Miller responded 'Hahaha'.

It is unclear what triggered the altercation, but messages show Miller alluding to 'one' particular  incident that had occurred a month earlier. 

'All of this started because of one bad decision a month ago in Columbia', he whined. 

'If I could turn back time I would. We had the greatest marriage in the world up until that one wrong choice.

'It can continue down that path or we can have an amazing marriage once again. The choice is yours'.

A 911 call obtained by NewsNation also revealed that Sierra did contact authorities after receiving the messages and can be heard telling officers that Mica came to visit because the couple were having 'issues'.

She added that Miller has 'six guns that he purchased recently', and that he said he would 'keep them up all night' in order to get her back.

In the text messages, Miller went on to bargain with Mica through her sister, begging her to come home and promising to take off the rest of the year, go to counseling and travel to Iceland.

In one chilling message, Miller warned Sierra that he was 'armed' and 'ready' and insisting that Mica 'can fix all of this'

Screenshots also show the bombardment of messages Miller sent to Mica directly, with one claiming that his 'blood' was on her 

He added: 'I also desperately want a child with you. I'm just scared of this. This is the only reason I wouldn't. I'm scared of divorce or putting the child through things like this where you leave and aren't willing to do whatever it takes.'

Screenshots also show the bombardment of messages he sent to Mica directly, who had him saved as 'Honey Baby' in her phone.

One chilling message said: 'My blood is on you, and my kids will know. All you had to do was come home to me. But you don't even care that much about me.'

Miller continued to bombard Sierra, calling Mica a 'f***ing b***h' after she 'tried to get him arrested'.

He claimed everything Mica owned was in the back of his truck, giving her the options of it being dumped at Sierra's home or in the trash.

'There is nothing left inside of the house that has any attachment to her. She can choose where she wants it if she calls me', he said.

Less than seven hours later he sent another message begging for forgiveness saying: 'If she comes home today, tell her I'm sorry. So Sorry. I'll do whatever it takes.'

Sierra hit back at Miller, telling him his 'brain is playing tricks' on him, and that Mica 'didn't leave him', adding: 'If you unblock her you can tell her yourself'.

Miller then sent another stream of messages, saying: 'Biblically when your spouse needs you nothing else should come before that'.

He promised to take her on a $3,000 vacation to Asheville, North Carolina, if she returned home, along with a 'list' of how to make their marriage better.

It ended with: 'If she actually cares she will do exactly what God wants. And do whatever it takes to make it work.

'You win! I'll allow you to completely destroy me, continue to hurt me, and will (sic) I'm hurt you leave. But I'll still beg for you back and do whatever if takes if you will come home.

'You'll never find another man who loves you enough to do whatever it takes after you treat him the way you treated me,' he added. 

As well as the stream of threatening and bizarre messages, the trove of information posted on social media by Sierra also accused Miller of getting Mica's sister-in-law fired from her teaching job at Faith First Academy.

The school, which was set up by Miller's Solid Rock Ministries, accused Mica's brother Nathaniel Francis, 32, of posting 'ungodly and strife-filled' messages online. 

Nathaniel's wife Victoria, 31, was also accused of writing on Miller's social media that his and Mica's page was 'hacked, knowing that they are in the process of healing'.

The school, which was set up by Miller's Solid Rock Ministries', accused Mica's brother Nathaniel Francis, 32, of posting 'ungodly and strife-filled' messages online and his wife Victoria, 31, of writing messages on a employee's Facebook page

An email sent out by Kristen Fazio, principal of the school, stated that Victoria 'declined' to rise to the 'Biblical standards' set by the school so she was let go

It went on to say: 'This type of behavior is not tolerated and could jeopardize your employment.'

A text message from John Paul to Nathaniel around the same time asked him to remove his comments 'or it could affect your wife's job'.

He sent another to Mica – calling her 'First Lady' – on February 21 of this year warning that Victoria 'may lose her job', because of the social media posts her family had posted 'about him.

'And she's a great teacher. The best! So let's believe God's Word for all of us', Miller added.

An email written on February 22 this year, a day after Miller's messages to Mica, shows that Victoria was fired for failing to remove the 'sinful' posts.

'It saddens us that you don't love your students and job enough to simply remove a social media post', the email read.

'For those reasons above, you are fired as a teacher from Faith First Academy.'

Miller is accused in court documents of grooming Mica (pictured during her first marriage) for years before they wed, committing her to hospital to steal her car, and cheating on his first wife with underage churchgoers

A second email sent out by Kristen Fazio, principal of the school, stated that Victoria 'declined' to rise to the 'Biblical standards' set by the school so she was let go.

Faith First Academy did not respond to requests for comment on the termination by DailyMail.com.

It comes after Robeson County Sheriff's department confirmed that in the early stages of the investigation they had reached out to the FBI and US Attorney's office for help in probing Mica's death.

In a statement the department said: 'Based on the information gathered during the investigation and jurisdiction reasons, the Sheriff's Office has requested the assistance of both agencies.

When contacted by DailyMail.com, the FBI office in Columbia, South Carolina, confirmed that they had been in contact with Robeson County Sheriff’s office but could not give any further information. 

The investigation continues to surround Miller's husband John-Paul after it was revealed earlier Monday that he penned a poisonous email to his estranged wife before her death saying he wanted to 'attack and cause pain'. 

Weeks prior, she shared a video speaking about abuse within marriage and her family claimed her husband had harassed her and she was 'afraid for her life'

 In an emotional Facebook video shared on March 22 (pictured) Mica offered her support to victims of abuse, reminding them that they 'don't have to stay'

She urged her friends and followers to share her message with anyone struggling to reconcile their faith with their abusive relationships 

John-Paul Miller is accused in court documents of grooming Mica for years before they wed, committing her to hospital to steal her car, and cheating on his first wife with underage churchgoers.

In affidavits filed by Mica's family, they express their concern over her relationship with Miller who has been described as a 'wolf in sheep's clothing' and a 'false prophet' by those who know him.

The pastor gave an emotional 20-minute speech at a memorial service at Solid Rock Church on May 5.

Weeks before her death, Mica had shared a video speaking about abuse within marriage as claims emerged that she was being harassed and was 'afraid for her life'.

She said: 'Today my heart's a little heavy. I've had lots of women that have reached out to me about situations of abuse, and I just want to tell you what a lot of people have told me lately, because I think I forgot.

'But you are the bride of Christ before anybody else's, male or female, it doesn't matter what gender you are, abuse is abuse.'
