Why Must We Always Pray For The Death Of Our Enemies? by Justmary06(f): 9:02am On Apr 12, 2016 |
It seems that is the only prayer-point that crosses my minister's mind and it makes me wonder "what if I am my own enemy?". Is it right to pray for the death of all your enemies? |

Depends on what you call your enemy. Like somebody once asked why do angels fight when they don't die? You have to understand that as long as christianity is concern, it is not all about physical. |

I want you to remember something, Since you consider someone an enemy remember you also is being considered an enemy by the person or someone else. So if the prayer is for enemies to die you also is not safe since you are also someone else's enemy From the fact above, determine what you'd like. If there are God(s) and they listened to the prayers of men, all mankind would have quickly perished because they always pray for bad things to befall another 5 Likes 3 Shares |

Very stupid prayer line by the "majority" who "ironically" are "spiritually indolent"! Anyways, they should put it at the back of their minds that even our MESSIAH, CHRIST JESUS, "admonished" humans to pray for their enemies! (Matthew 5:44) |

Justmary06: Praying that your enemies should die is a revelation of a murderous intent and demonic influence on a man's heart. This is not a christian prayer but a prayer originating from the pit of hell. Sadly though it resonates with alot of Nigerians who do not understand the christian faith. Jesus said "pray for your enemies...bless those who curse you" Luke 6:28 God has used many enemies of the church for his glory. Saul later called Paul was on a mission to kill christians before his conversion. Cyrus the Persian King was used by God. You should withdrawal from this your minister. He is not a christian if all he does is pray for the death of his enemies. I bet if given a knife he may as well slaughter his percieved enemies. Jesus preached love not hate. |

is anyone immortal? ![]() Not to the best of my knowledge. You can pray for the death of your enemy since na you get your mouth, however, your enemy's death will not prevent your own death whether sooner or later. |

excellencyabia1:I know bt I always get this vibe that the prayers are directed to people in the physical. People lik me nd yu who are considered enemies. |
Re: Why Must We Always Pray For The Death Of Our Enemies? by itstpia8: 4:10pm On Apr 12, 2016 |
it's ignorance and short sightedness. Everybody is an enemy to somebody, shouting your enemy's name simply because they havent shouted yours yet, doesnt mean you are in the right. Its not a question of who first identifies an enemy, but are you applying sense in your life. |

Re: Why Must We Always Pray For The Death Of Our Enemies? by itstpia8: 5:40pm On Apr 12, 2016 |
Justmary06: just speaking generally. Shouting and cursing at enemies only multiplies them. If an enemy drops dead due to "die my enemy" prayer, expect at least a hundred more to replace the person, all targeting the "enemy dier". |

Christians of the 21st century just have this wrong notion that God has a plan(blueprint) specially designed to make them prosper... if they are not "prospering" then "enemies somewhere are at work." That was how I used think God of the Bible used to kill "enemies" by fire, water, lightening, angel of deaths, famine, genocide etc... at least that is what the stories say. I don't blame them for believing in these stories, I blame them for not thinking. The whole world except the Israelites were once God's enemies. God must have needed so many enemies to test his wits... 1 Like |

It shows the amount of ill will that supposed children of God bear in their hearts. They believe they worship an omnipotent God and yet the only solution they can think of for a situation of enmity is death. How about just turning the enemy into a friend or making him forget that you exist or making him forget about the enmity? If you must hurt him you can even ask for him to be so overwhelmed by problems that he won't have time for you. Why is death all they can come up with? I thinks it's just hurtful people showing who they really are. 2 Likes 1 Share |

sonOfLucifer:Buddhist, Hindian, Judaist, Baha'i, Wiccanist, Sikh, Taoist (my fav religion after Christianity), even Sango worshippers do not say "in Jesus name" yet they all pray. Like I said earlier, Prayer is just a form of spiritual communication. You pray when trying to communicate with Spiritual being more powerful than you. Satan who you seem to admire is of lower power compared to God. |

verboten:True talk. Besids I beliv death is an easy get away. In d bible, we have stories where God actually suffers those he considers as enemy bt hardly to d point of death. I beliv that its best if your enemy is kept alive inorder to witness the wonders of God. |

Justmary06: If he wants his enemies to die then he really can kill them with his hands if given the opportunity. Prayer is a request we make to God. It is not like invoking spirits. It is a communication with God. We must approach God with all reverence and must know that our prayers and supplication are subject to God's will. It is important that a Christian know that his/her prayers will be answered as God wills. Prayer is the place of total submission to God's will. Shouting and screaming and getting angry will not change God's mind. In fact Jesus said God does not want us to get entangled in vain repetition because it will not make God answer us better than someone who is praying silently. I hope your minister come to the true knowledge of God and prayer |
