Known in Hell.

I heard a story told by Ravi Zacharias, and I thought how awesome it would be to have such a passion for Christ! Here is the abbreviated version of the story put into my own words.

A man named Mr. Nichols led a man to Christ on a street corner. Mr. Nichols asked the man if he had any plans for that night. The man answered that he hadn't given it any thought. So Mr. Nichols asked the man to come to a prayer meeting with him. The man told Mr. Nichols that he didn't know how to pray and he didn't know what prayer meetings were about. Mr. Nichols told him to go home and read the book of Acts in the New Testament. He told him that after reading Acts he would know how to pray and what prayer meetings were all about. Mr. Nichols picked the man up at his home and brought him to the prayer meeting. Everyone was praying when Mr. Nichols asked the man when he would start praying. The man told Mr. Nichols again that he did not know how to pray. Mr. Nichols told him to say whatever comes to his mind. The man began to pray and he said, "Father, Father I pray that all in Hell will know who I am". Mr. Nichols was shocked and pulled the man outside. Mr. Nichols asked what was he thinking by saying a prayer like that. The man told Mr. Nichols again that he didn't know how to pray. Mr. Nichols said that everyone inside who was praying were asking to go to heaven but he asked to be known in Hell and that was not right. The man told Mr. Nichols that in the book of Acts the sons of Sceva were trying to command demons to come out of people in the name of Jesus, but the demons told them,"Jesus I know, Paul I know, but you I don't know." The man said, "Mr. Nichols I want to be known in Hell!"

What a story of faith! Oh, how great it is be to be known by demons that I am a follower of Jesus Christ. Whenever prayer warriors get down on their knees demons tremor in fear and run for cover.
