Should God Kill Me?: To sin, or not to sin?
At another minister's seminar, a traveling evangelist came to me, asking me to pray for him. "Why do want me to pray for you?" I asked. He said, "My problem is that, as a traveling evangelist, I find myself committing adultery with the ladies in the church where I minister." I said, "Tell me. How easy do you find it to be able to commit adultery in the churches where you go?" Without too much shame, the man said, "Oh, very easy!" I said, "Please repeat this prayer after me, and I will agree in prayer with you, that God will surely answer your prayer." Then I prayed, asking the young evangelist to repeat after me, "Dear Heavenly Father, I ask You, in Jesus Name, that before I ever commit adultery or fornication again, that You will strike me dead." The man prayed that prayer. I never saw him again. But, I hope that God struck him dead, before he ever committed adultery or fornication again.
