Praying Against Your Enemies: Right Or Wrong? by yertyr(m): 2:27pm On Mar 31, 2013
I raised this topic because of what I've seen in our modern churches... In our bible, Christ countered the issue of fighting enemies(human) when he said, 'love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you'... If this is true, why do pastors pray against that 'wicked man' or 'village witch'... Whats ur take?

anyone still praying against his enemies is still working with the old mosaic law of a tooth for tooth. do me i do you. there is no love in it.
when you grow into love you start sending love to your enemies and praying for their progress. you are working with the law of love which supersedes all other laws.
so praying against your enemy is certainly very wrong and sending so called holy ghost fire is certainly a kind of destructive black magic which of course will still come back to the sender. the Holy spirit is not a destructive force. it is God's love in action.
