the kingdom of God suffers violence and it's was taketh by force,stop the enemies before they killed.
because the devil came to steal,to kill and to destroy,its depends on your level of understanding in the prayers ministries read the book of psalms it's deals more in praying against our enemies..

God’s Patience and Our Impatience. We instinctively divide ourselves into good and evil, friends and enemies. The consequence of such a distinction is in tolerance and a desire to solve immediately whatever tensions arise from them. Some ask God to intervene and judge and punish others. The readings‘ today tell us that God does not do things like that. The first reading Wisdom 12:13.16-l9, teaches us that he uses his power not to punish us, but to save us; he wants all of us to do likewise. The gospel Matthew 13:24-43 tells us to accept with peace of mind the presence of evil in the world, and invites us to recognise the weeds in our own hearts. It assures us that the love of God will one day destroy it. The second reading Romans8:26-27 speaks of the Spirit that prays for us, beseeching the Father to destroy all evil. This prayer will certainly be heard.

Before you say such prayers. Make sure you are not another's enemy. We should Pray God to deliver us from the hand of our enemies not to kill them

I don't know if it's only me but I have always felt praying for our enemies to die in church is just not the Christian way of doing things.

Don't get it twisted, am in church right now and the prayer coordinator just raised a prayer point, "Father anyone against my progress against my family progress as they step out of their house this morning, may Sanford trailer jam them".
No one is perfect, and we've all got enemies. Imagine there all start praying like that or even worse.

I attended a church sometime last month and one of the prayer points was that, "Any body against my progress, anybody that is out to harm me today, before they come out this morning Father break their legs in Jesus name". In my mind I was like it should be in SARS name not Jesus name because na SARS fit do something like that.

It's not just right please because Christ preached love and not hate.

Dear OP,

I understand the confusion very much having been in churches and hearing such commands. But my understanding is as follows, please read carefully:

Christianity as established by Peter the rest of the Disciples had rules. But permit me to say that not all of our churches are practicing Christianity as it was instituted by St Peter some 2017 years ago. Most of our Churches today are 'Magnificent Shrines', 'Wonderful Temples', and 'Esoteric Command Centers'.

It is true that if you really pray that prayer and sing the commands, your enemies will truly be badly affected but if your enemies also have higher vibrational frequencies, the prayers will boomerang and totally turn back and hurt the Christian that sent out that prayer request to the universe.

So, becareful the prayers you indulge in, and do not bother judging the Churches. Most Churches are NOT Christian Centers, but spiritual command networks that cause havocs here and there and also manifesting expectations.

Not all church goers are Christians, many are just 'ignorant magicians'.

Matthew 6:5

"And when you pray, do not be like the HYPOCRITES, for they LOVE TO PRAY STANDING in the SYNAGOGUES and on the STREET CORNERS to be SEEN BY MEN. I tell you the truth, they have RECEIVED their REWARD IN FULL.
6 But when you pray, GO INTO YOUR ROOM, CLOSE THE DOOR and pray to your Father, WHO IS UNSEEN. Then your Father, who SEES WHAT IS DONE IN SECRET, will reward you.
7 And when you pray, do not KEEP ON BABBLING like PAGANS, for THEY THINK they will be HEARD because of their MANY WORDS.
8 DO NOT BE LIKE THEM, for your Father KNOWS WHAT YOU NEED BEFORE YOU ASK HIM.
this is what most pentecoastal churches wont let u know....they will tell u to pray as if u got madness

Amongst the attributes that impressed God about King Solomon after his life changing sacrifice was that: 'he did not ask for the heads of his enemies'. So he was accorded wisdom instead 'to handle them'. What it tells me about these things is that the level of relationship you have with God accords you certain privileges not generally available amongst which is sure victories over all adversities. Seek ye first the kingdom of God and His Righteousness (another title of Jesus) and ALL these things including dominion will be given freely. God himself will fight for you and you will hold your peace. It is babies that cry. Adults discuss. And it is to them wisdom is given to rule and reign. A lot of Christians these days are too busy on the wrong things and fail to recognise the reason for their existence which is to pleasure the Lord. I have no time to pray those kind of prayers when there are important things to discuss with God. What are His Angels for.

The bible made us understand that we wrestle not against 'FLESH' and 'BLOOD' but against 'PRINCIPALITIES' and 'POWERS' and rulers of wickedness...therefore if you end ip fighting the flesh, you will end up fighting the wrong battle...source is frm my bible, no be ''my pastor say''.

the Bibles states clearly that we wrestle not against flesh and blood but against principalities and powers. that's what we revoke when we pray against our enemy. just that prayer points are being twisted this days to suit the Congregational expectations

See them, later they will be the ones running from one church to another seeking for help.

As far as I'm concerned, we have enemies, if you like pray from now till next year for God to change their hrt, there are some that will never change and have sworn to deal with you spiritually, they want to see you die before they leave you.

I will never allow someone to kill me, then later repent and give his or life to christ..

I would never pray such....Jesus never instructed that we should do that rather he said we should pray for those that despitefully use us.....

African mentality of fire for fire and retaliation has beclouded some of our pastors.

Me I just do as if I no hear the prayer points and I pray for a change in them or rather for heaven protection and interference... Shikena

Keep praying for your enemies to live long, while they keep checking calendar for the day to take you away from this earth.

You think those demons in human flesh want to change? You think they have not being hearing the word of God since they were born? Funny.
