Churches That Pray For Their Enemies To Die---What Do You Think? by histemple: 5:36pm On Jun 22, 2016
Why do some churches pray that their enemies should Die by fire, Fall down and die, My enemies must die this year etc.

Just wondering if they intentionally disregard scriptures that asked them to pray for their enemies to repent, and even bless those that cursed them. Luke 6:28

God further warned that vengeance is "His" alone. Romans 12:18-20

For instance, in Psalm 23, the Lord further assured that He will prepare a table for us in the "presence" (not the absence) of our enemies.

Please I need honest and scripture-based contributions.

You have your answer already! Such prayers are unbiblical.

Imagine the Apostles praying such prayer, and in attempt to give heed, God decides to take the life of Saul who was to latter become Paul?....

And it's not like the disciples were not destined to suffer anyways cheesy

So, when is a Christian supposed to pray for the repentance of our enemies as was instructed in the bible?

And if all your enemies fall and dies, in whose presence will God prepare the table for you?

Well, I didn't mention MEN but now that you have, let me ask you.

So, when is a Christian supposed to pray for the repentance of our enemies as was instructed in the bible?

Ok, imagine that God decides to answer such prayers and start killing all your enemies instantly, what will be the essence of Christianity and repentance?

And if all your enemies fall and dies, in whose presence will God prepare the table for you, as he promised in Psalm 23?

Or do u want to tell me u avnt hear a case where someone will say over his/her death body will he/she see someone making it in life..... Someone that has pledge his/her heart to satan ....will u let that person leave......
U r saying that God prepare a table b4 u inthe present of ur enemies.....may be u av forgoten that that same bible said if ur way please God, he will allow ur enemy to b at peace with u.... So did ur way please God b4 he can set a table b4 u in front of ur enemy... I bet u , nah karate then go take fling the table away from u... So be wise bro.

Wow! Yall keep looking for people in ur village as your problem!

Lemme show u something...

" rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry. " - Prophet Samuel 1 Samuel 15:23

By the above definition, is it not obvious most church folks are witches too? Or would you tell me you obey 100% everything the word of God tells you? For if you don't, you've become a rebel... As you read further in that verse "because thou has rejected the word of the Lord...."

Stop looking for people as the source of your problem, instead try to make your ways right with God... And He'll make even your enemies to be at peace with you!
I believe when a person is born again, every curse trailing him/her becomes broken! Don't underestimate the blood of Christ smiley

In the school of destiny discovery, recovery and fulfilment, everyone is a fighter, consciously or unconsciously. You have to fight against something if you must be anything in life.

many christians get it wrong when it comes to prayers.

If you are a true christian, u will know that u re sitted in God and God in you. The bible also said we sitted with God in the high place far above all principalities and powers. its not possible for any demon to succeed against u while ur in God unless he permits it like he did job. This can only be achieved by faith which is believing.

Another point is that, the human carrying out those jobs against a believer are not responsible for the attacks, they are possessed by demonic spirits.

In my opinion, u don't need to pray for their death, as a true child of God, he knows what u can handle and apostle Paul made us understand that God will not allow any suffering we cannot endure. All we need is God's will to be done in our lives because in his will (suffering any attack or not) there is an expected end of happiness and joy.

There is a long enough rope for the wicked.

Why did the God harden pharoh heart for him to die? Because pharoh will pursue and he will not let the children of israel enjoy freedom. Some unrepented enemies must die for you to enjoy life.

If I am not mistaken, it seems you are referring to old testament. I doubt if there was any need for forgiveness during that time and God was dealing with humans in strict terms, which was why Jesus came to reconcile man to God and establish a new order. Infact, Jesus went as far as teaching them "how to pray". Matthew 6:9

The topic of this discussion was contained in that prayer where He said "forgive my tresspasses just as I FORGIVE those that tresspassed against me". By implication, forgiving those that tresspassed against us is the only condition we can expect God to forgive us of our wrongdoings.

He answered so many other questions centered on existing laws, most of which he modified or outrightly nullified.
Obviously astound, the disciples asked Jesus which was the most important commandment to keep since He has modified almost everything therein, including pardoning an adulterer that was caught in the act------Jesus simply told them that the ultimate commandment was LOVE.

He further told them that most of the laws Moses gave them was because of their HARDENED HEART. Matthew 19:8

Before Jesus, what obtained was the "do me, I do you" laws of Moses and others. But remember when Jesus was asked how many times someone needed to be offended before he can revenge? He simply told them 70x7. Matthew 18:22

If you read the bible carefully, the old and new testaments have so much contradictions, and understandably so, because Jesus came with a new ministry------and God changed from the God of war Exodus 15:3 to the God of Peace.1 Cor. 14.33

Part of that ministry was to free mankind from the law of old. Romans 6:14

"3 But Peter said, "Ananias, why has Satan filled your heart to lie to the Holy Spirit and keep back part of the price of the land for yourself?
4 While it remained, was it not your own? And after it was sold, was it not in your own control? Why have you conceived this thing in your heart? You have not lied to men but to God."
5 Then Ananias, hearing these words, fell down and breathed his last. So great fear came upon all those who heard these things." (NKJV Acts 5:3-5)

some argue that Ananias was not a Christian but it happened in the New Testament, that is After resurrection of Jesus... think!

Guys!! Let me ask you this questions.. How many of you are without sin? Like without sin.. No sin at all.. None.. In d so called church u talking about dey don't talk about d holy spirit..going to heaven.. All dey knw is dat some strong man in their father's house is doing them..
Change this pathetic way of thinking.. Read the bible well bro.. Don't twist what it says.. Understand it and let it flow into your soul only then will you realize that when Jesus is truly ur personal Lord and Saviour.. Nd the holy spirit dwells in you.. Enemies won't be able to stand your sight.. Let alone touch u or ur destiny or glory or ur whatever.. You don't have to pray for them to die. You pray for the Lord to have mercy on their soul..
