I met a Pastor who told me his greatest passion was to witness the “Good News” of Jesus Christ. When his granddaughter was getting married, she sent the future groom over to meet him. The young man was a non-believer and although the Pastor tried the young man would not accept the invitation. Before he left the Pastor asked if it was okay to pray for the young man.

The Pastor prayed, “Lord I pray for your hedge of protection over this young man as he leaves here today because if he has an accident and doesn’t survive, he will end up in Hell.” The young man immediately accepted Christ as His savior. Sometimes we need to scare the Hell out of people to get them to Heaven.
