But Simon answered and said, "Pray to the Lord for me yourselves, so that nothing of what you have said may come upon me." Acts 8:24
This Simon, a magician and sorcerer, heard the message of Jesus Christ, believed the message and was baptized. Soon after that, his heart was in the wrong place, and he wanted to buy the Holy Spirit. The apostles told him his heart was not right with God, and he should repent and pray for forgiveness. He listened and chose the right way. He requested prayer for forgiveness. When someone tells us that our heart is not right with God, we must listen and chose the right way too. Will our hearts be hardened, or humbled by the news. Humbled, I hope.
