Am not trying to judge anybody here.bt 80% of our pastors today are hungry,desparate,fake and wat have u. they just wan to make quick money and become popular. now tell me how they are better than our "yahoo' boys. They advertise fake miracle just to draw u to their church,force u to pay tithe as though jesus christ preached about tithe, they do all manner of things just to get attention. That Is sign of fake. Wen u advertise ur miracle, we can now refer to u as a magician. N/B. Am nt judging anybody.. Am just stating our wat i have observed. peace. |

I don't feel comfortable praying for my enemies to die. Rather i pray for them to leave long enough to see the greatness of God in my life. Secondly instead of praying for their deaths, i just wish them double portion of whatever they wish for me. But again the bible says suffer not a witch to live. |

You should, by all means, pray in church for your enemies to suffer in the eternal fire... But only if that is the Church of Beelzebub the great! |

He forgives repentant sinners. The bible tells us he does not desire any to be destroyed, that's why he has still given them time to repent. gabazin080: 3 Likes |

gabazin080: LOL.. Don't mind that guy, ask him how many times he has prayed for his enemies to repent or how many times he has prayed to God to bless his enemies. Many of them here, saying we should pray for our enemies are all hypocrite.. Funny people,it's until they kill them and later repent while they decay in the ground, that's they will no the enemies are fighting a battle |

I don't think that type of prayer is proper, but instead you should pray for your enemies to have a change of hearts, and if they refused then you can ask God to give them a befitting judgment on your behalf, I want you to remember that your worst enemy today can become your best friend tomorrow, while your best friend today can become your worst enemy tomorrow. 1 Like |

lelvin: Whatever you felt right there isn't wrong. Your inner man/spirit seek to find the hiding truth on how prayers work. Believe me when I tell you. No harm will fall on those who doesn't deserve it. When Jesus taught us how to prayer. He didn't seek harm on his enemy. He said AND FORGIVE US OUR TRESPASSES AS WE FORGIVE THOSE WHO TRANSPASS AGAINST US. which simply means we should learn to pray for their repentance so that they may find they way to God. For God is not please to see a sinner perish. As a Christian, we should censored our prayer points from things/words of hate that might prevent our prayers reaching God. Shallom. 1 Like |

It is not only the prayer you pray to make your enemies to die that actually caused their death it is the fulfilment of God's word for the wicked. For whatever God says must never return void. Romans 6:23 says, For the wages of sin is death but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. Therefore our enemy sows death for themselves with their evil ways even as you wish them also. |
Re: Should We Be Praying For Our Enemies To Die In Church? by macphilip: 12:44pm On Jul 23, 2017 |
Since we are in the dispensation of the new covenant, God doesn't answer such prayers again. |
Re: Should We Be Praying For Our Enemies To Die In Church? by LogicStatement: 12:54pm On Jul 23, 2017 |
Lollipop247:Is it by your feelings or what God feels? If it is by how you feel, then you will be led by the flesh to think through the pain they caused you to pray for their death but if you are led by the Spirit you will abide by what Jesus said "do good to those who hate you and pray for your enemies." This is what makes you different from a sinner. The choice is yours to obey Jesus or the flesh 1 Like |

The Lord watches over The ways of The Righteous but the ways of the wicked shall perish. So The Lord instructs, directs and discerns The Righteous wherever, even in their togetherness, but forgets, abandons and neglects the enemies of The Righteous till they are visited by Holy Fire burning with sulfur. |

udemzyudex:you still don't get it, do you? if I don't pray for my enemy to die, doesn't mean that if an enemy attacks a christian, he or she will stumble. A praticising Christian shouldn't even fear about any evil attack because 24-7 he knows He is protected by God. Your enemy can plot your downfall, as long as you always have reverance for God daily, you don't need utter a word coz God will always fight for his very own. An enemy can't kill one who is in Gods presence! 1 Like |

chukzyfcbb: Naa you're the one that don't get it, life itself is not fair bro.. You mean there was no God during the 1st and 2nd world war? Thousands of Christians and Muslims are dying everyday, you think they don't worship same God, if you can pray your way out of bondage pls do. Heaven help those who help themselves, just because you're looking for a job and u think since you have God he will provide it for you without you taking any step.. It doesn't work that way, in fact we shouldn't even be praying at all since we have God in heaven. |

udemzyudex:stay on track because we are discussing terms related to enemy. I see u steering off course... I said You don't need to pray for an enemy who is a human like you to either die or sorts, The devil and his agents is whom you should pray against, those are the bibilical enemy . But to pray for a supposed old woman whom you perceive to be an enemy to fall and die is baseless. As a christian, just know the scriptures at heart, and regurgitate them in times of trouble. Its like telling God all what he said he will do for you. Or you think God doesn't know christians have enemies? 1 Like |

Yes that's the nonsense most Christians have been forced to reduce themselves to, seeking the destruction of their enemies when the first prayer ever taught by Jesus to be forgiven as they forgive those who trespass against them. We all know there is a Spiritual warfare out there but did Jesus ask for his enemies to die on the Cross? Isn't Jesus our role model? Moreso, this earth is temporary not permanent so whatever damage is done to you here can not deter you from the kingdom so why ask for death for your enemies as if you haven't offended someone before? To be honest there is no justification for this form of prayer for any true Christian. What all Christians must do is forgive. (If I may even add, 70 * 7 times per day) 1 Like |

Matthew 7;12 So whatever you wish that others would do to you, do also to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets. Galatians 6;6 One who is taught the word must share all good things with the one who teaches. Do not be deceived: God is not mocked, for whatever one sows, that will he also reap. |

udemzyudex: You are playing Pragmatic with God... If you believe God has you covered you pray for your enemies downfall, you pray that God takes control. Doesn't mean you should sit back and watch them kill you but then you do the right thing as a Child of God. You were not put on earth to fight but to lead a life so you shouldn't always imagine that you are always being pursued by someone wanting your downfall. Live you life and let God do his work for you. That's your duty as a Christian. It's totally out of place to ask God to kill your enemy. If you had said God should protect you, that's a different thing entirely! Last last tho, God doesn't answer such prayers anyways ![]() |
