I wonder what kind of God will leave His Holy Ghost fire even if there is anything of such in the hands of an imperfect man that cannot fully decide a matter from his imperfect standpoint. If the person you deem to be an enemy from your own standpoint is God's friend nko? Tell or give the reasons why such requests will be granted. If Christians wage spiritual warfare the tools they need to counter such are readily available. Ephesians 6:10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. 6:11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. 6:12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. 6:13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. 6:14 Stand therefore, having your LOINS GIRT about with TRUTH , and having on the BREASTPLATE of RIGHTEOUSNESS ; 6:15 And your FEET SHOLD with the preparation of the GOSPEL OF PEACE; 6:16 Above all, taking the shield OF FAITH , wherewith ye shall be able to QUENCH all the FIERY DARTS of the wicked. 6:17 And take the HELMET of SALVATION , and the SWORD of the SPIRIT, which is the WORD OF of GOD: Abi wetin remain again? The problem with the so called Christian a la fe nu je is......................... |

emmaitive:It's the "holy spirit" no such thing as "holy ghost." Kindly check the meaning in the encyclopedia or Google it. The term "holy ghost" was/is used in (KJV) and was later changed(corrected) to "holy spirit" in the (NKJV). Remain blessed |

There is this pride and imbued arrogance that since you are Christian you can do an undo. Go back and read your Romans 12. See below for key highlights Romans 12:17 Recompense to no man evil for evil. Provide things honest in the sight of all men. 12:18 If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men. 12:19 Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord. 12:20 Therefore if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head. 12:21 Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good. How well do you understand verses 18,19,21 for those that says ''sit down look approach'' against your enemy does not sound biblical? How will you cross reference retaliating against your enemies when Jesus said fear not those that kill the body but cannot destroy the soul? Matthew 10:28. Abi wetin the enemy wey you rain holy ghost fire upon wan kill?No be the body alone? Una no get faith in the resurrection hope again? Abi wetin christ die for? Afterall if your enemies kill you na only body dem kill. God will resurrect you later. 1 Like |

E jowo e ma gba ise Olorun se. Olorun wipe ti ohun ni esan. Ohun yoo san. Allow God to carryout his vengeance not you raining fire on those you perceived inaccurately as enemies from your own standpoint but from God's standpoint they might have a good standing. Be peaceable with all men the scriptures admonishes with a HUGE CLAUSE as far as it lieth or depends on you. Those YOU PERCEIVED as enemies, have you on your part, reached out to strike a peace pact or deal before you start raining holy ghost fire on them? |

Luke 9:51-56 51 And it came to pass, when the time was come that he should be received up, he stedfastly set his face to go to Jerusalem, 52 And sent messengers before his face: and they went, and entered into a village of the Samaritans, to make ready for him. 53 And they did not receive him, because his face was as though he would go to Jerusalem. 54 And when his disciples James and John saw this, they said, Lord, wilt thou that we command fire to come down from heaven, and consume them, even as Elias did? 55 But he turned, and rebuked them, and said, Ye know not what manner of spirit ye are of. 56 For the Son of man is not come to destroy men's lives, but to save them. And they went to another village. Emphasy on verses 54 & 55 when the disciples requested to pray the way the OP mentioned and note Christ response. This is the answer please. It's wrong to pray such, love is the key which conqueres all. |

It is not a matter of whether it is right or wrong to pray such prayers. The question is 'has God been answering such prayers'? If God has been answering such prayers, who are you to judge? If He has not been answering such prayers then why are you bothered? The two-edged sword given to the saints is not for decoration. It is for deployment to save the ignorant on one side and to judge the wicked on the other. 1 Like |

Luke 9:51-56. As time drew near when Jesus would be taken up to heaven, he made up his mind and set out on his way to jerusalem. He sent messengers ahead of him, who went into the village in samaria to get everything ready for him. But the people there would not receive him, because it was clear that he was on his way to Jerusalem. When the disciples James and John saw this, they said. Lord, do you want us to call fire down from heaven to destroy them? Jesus rebuked them. Them Jesus and his disciples went on to another village. The truth is that we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities and powers. It is not right to call down fire on enemies, Jesus didnot encourage it, but you can call fire upon powers of the enemies and powers of darkness. |

Upon all the holy ghost fire, our society is still evil. We are still tribalistic, greedy and looking for ways to scheme. Yet people wey no dey shout better pass us. By the way, why didn't Christ shout holybghost fire firvhis persecutors? |

Aremu01:Please quote a new testament text to support your claim. Elijah was not a christian. We christians follow the doctrine of christ. You cannot stubbornly stick to the practices of Judaism and expect to be called a christian. |

Holy Ghost- a reference for Angel Gabriel. As he was often times referred to. Angels at made from light, men from clay, jinns from fire. God is the He who blesses all in this world and selects whom to bless in the hereafter. Everyone is somebody's enemy. Go ye to the world and be enemies of one another.. Spend more time and pray to your own progress (stop been obsessed with your enemy- God will still bless them). Spend more time praying to God and not His Messenger. |

themonk: That's why Jehovah's Witnesses will never pray for enemies to die. Rather, they pray that God touches the heart of their adversaries. |
Re: Is it right to pray "Holy Ghost, Fire!" Against Enemies? by Nobody: 7:11am On Apr 17, 2017 |
I think the confusion lies in the usage. There is nothing like 'Holy Ghost fire'. It is written that God is both merciful and 'a consuming fire'. He also says 'I kill and I make alive', so when engaging in warfare prayers, we should use 'fire of God', and not 'Holy Ghost fire' because when the Holy Spirit descended on men on the Pentecost, He came in the form of 'cloven fire'. It transformed the disciples, not destroy. Anyone saying we should pray for our enemies is living in ignorance. Our Lord Jesus Christ did not intend for us to be turned to suya by this wicked ones. Stay there let them finish you and waste your destinies, you hear? Fire of God destroy any destiny waster opposing my manifestion! |
Re: Is it right to pray "Holy Ghost, Fire!" Against Enemies? by Nobody: 7:15am On Apr 17, 2017 |
unitysheart:I will NEVER pray for God to touch my adversary because He will show mercy unto whom He will, and forgive those who He will. Stay there praying for them while they are turning your lives upside down. If you have ever encountered unbelievably wickedness in the physical and spiritual dimension then you will not sit down praying for God to touch wicked people who have sold their souls to the devil. They are of the devil who uses them to fulfil his threefold ministry: kill, steal and destroy. |
