Well whether you pray or not the AMEN {Revelations 3:14} says pray for all so know today that the only person who has the seal to grant your request and present your petitions before the most high God is Jesus Christ so it's better you pray to other gods and end it with whatever you want but if you say "AMEN" at the end of any prayer that contradicts Jesus' teachings it's not going anywhere Jesus is the AMEN! 2 Corinthians 1:20 smiley

Have You Prayed For Your Enemies?

Jesus taught us to love and pray for our enemies.

Matthew 5:44-45 (KJV)

But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;
That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.


Therefore have you prayed for your enemies as Jesus commanded us to do?

If you haven't it's suggests you're not a true follower of Jesus because true followers of Jesus keep His teachings.

God bless.
I hope righteousness22 can see this. His church doesn't believe in that

Praying for my enemies needs special grace, the kind of grace I do not possess, neither am I actively seeking to possess it. Let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end and let God wound the hairy scalp of the wicked

Jesus did not tell Christians to pray for the enemies to have more strength to fight the LIGHT. So be mindful of what you pray for while praying for the so - called enemy.
Neither did he give you the permission to curse them

Christians always pray for their enemies to die by fire of their holy ghost. The only thing their holy ghost does in Nigeria is to kill. He doesn't make peace.

African traditional religion practitioners go to their shrine to perform rituals for their enemies to die.

But somehow Africans believe Christianity is good and African traditional religion is bad.
It's a wrong doctrine. That wasn't part of the Christianity handed to us. Africa re invented theirs

Of what use is Jesus praying for the enemies he's coming to kill later according to the Bible?
grin grin grin grin grin grin grin grin grin so you have not allowed Jesus to set you free from this demons that have used your body as their house

So you don't agree with either the Koran or the bible?
Yes, on this issue...An enemy is an enemy and must be treated as an enemy. Period.

Is that the best way you can define the word “curse” ?


Anyone that doesn’t die is not cursed?

That’s the most popular one..and you know it. "Fall n die by fire" people.

2 crimes in one

1. We don't kill with holy ghost

2. We don't curse our enemies

Let me ask you a question. Does Jesus believe that criminals/ thieves should be punished by the authorities of this earth when found guilty or should be released?

Do you view this as wickedness when these punishments are dished out to the thieves/criminals after being found guilty by the authority of the land?

Yes, he believes we should obey the secular government n their rules.

2. That's the rule of the land, you are simply obeying. A soldier or police officer shooting a criminal has not sin. He's working according to the rules and authority of the country

1. Can we use Holy Ghost to defend against a killing enemy?


2. Is it a sin to punish criminals who are enemy of PEACE or LIGHT.

No, holy ghost is use to get closer to God. It's not an instrument to fight. The problem is that Christians confused fire from heaven in old testament to holy ghost fire on pentecost day. They don't have same job description

2. It's a sin. Jesus didn't purnish anyone that didn't receive him , instead he prayed for them

Prayers against Enemies is allowed
Jesus Christ said pray for your enemies, he was not referring to Physical enemies but rather SPIRITUAL ENEMIES

APOSTLE PAUL called death as the last enemy to be destroyed, which means DEATH is an ENEMY to pray against especially UNTIMELY DEATH hanging and following different people in different Families

Poverty( Spiritual, physical , financial, marital, emotional, psychological etc are different kinds of enemies sleeping and waking with different people daily ) , sickness, diseases, infirmities, Stagnancy, Bad luck, Disfavour, Inferiority complex, Failure at the edge of success, Evil Altar's & Shrines speaking or attacking some people, Barrenness, cancer, killer diseases, lack of destiny Helpers, fishing and catching nothing on the ocean of life, covens and Altar's of witchcraft, sorcery, enchantments, divination etc , Hired killers and ritualist sent to kill you etc are different kinds of enemies you are allowed to pray against otherwise Dem go kill you ooo sad God has enemies , Jesus was born and (Herod an enemy wanted to kill Jesus and the Angel told Joseph to flee to Egypt, 40 people vowed to Kill Apostle Paul in the Acts of the Apostles but God intervened, ), so if you don't pray against certain FORCES , Dem go kill the person ooo grin

According to you you, you defined “curse “ as “to die” isn’t it? Here you say that Jesus believes we should obey the secular government to enforce the law of God. A Christian soldier that kills armed robber/bandits ( that have killed other people ) has not sinned. Right? IF “to curse is to die” Why then do you say we are not given permission to curse our enemies?
Re: Have You Prayed For Your Enemies? by Entom(m): 12:27pm On Mar 16, 2025
Reading these: . Psalm 35:1 (KJV) – "Plead my cause, O Lord, with them that strive with me: fight against them that fight against me."
2. 2 Thessalonians 1:6 (KJV) – "Seeing it is a righteous thing with God to recompense tribulation to them that trouble you."
3. Psalm 109:6 (KJV) – "Set thou a wicked man over him: and let Satan stand at his right hand."
Who are the verses referring to in those verses?

'Curse to die' isn't the law of the land

Don't mind them abeg.Is it not through Peter that Ananias and saphira were struck to death?There are many bible verses on vengeance. God is not always about Forgiveness he has his killing side.

Some Christians and hypocrisy are like 5&6!

Read again! I didn’t ask if it is a sin to punish those that didn’t receive Jesus?

The question again …is it a sin to punish criminals who are enemy of PEACE or LIGHT?


Have you heard from the Bible that we can do nothing except by the spirit of God that strengthens us? This same spirit of God (an excellent spirit) was upon Daniel who worked with king Nebuchadnezzar who was always looking for innovations to conquer his enemies at war to which Daniel gave to him 10 times better than all his scientists put together.


Is it not a defense when the spirit of God reveals to you the plans of your enemies who are planning to kill you ? Heheh ha……pls tell us more about the function of the Holy Ghost we want to learn.
