Yes God says pray for your enemies BUT did not say u should allow your enemies KILL YOU before your time. Jesus destroyed demons and chase people selling in d temple out even though once prayed for them. He did not tolerate NONSENSE from them. So please stop sounding like as if people should be careless defending their lives against their enemies.

Are you impersonating me

You are praying for your mortal enemies to live.?
Enemies that have sworn that you will only live over their dead bodies.

Foolishness of the highest order.

The Bible says, let God arise and let his enemies be scattered.
It was God himself that struck herod with worms in the new testament, else he would have killed peter after already killing James.

[/color][color=]we are all enemies to each other one way or d other so if God want to answer d prayer nobody go still dey alive in this country.if u knw u knw

A religion from the middle East that y'all have carried like FIFA world cup. It's sad o

Do you understand the meaning of "enemy" in that context? Do you know sickness is your enemy? Whatever wants to frustrate your life is your enemy. Don't think of enemy as some mortal and troublesome neighbors in your compound.

Romans 12: 14- 21 comes to mind

Romans 12:14-21
[14]Bless them which persecute you: bless, and curse not.
[15]Rejoice with them that do rejoice, and weep with them that weep.
[16]Be of the same mind one toward another. Mind not high things, but condescend to men of low estate. Be not wise in your own conceits.
[17]Recompense to no man evil for evil. Provide things honest in the sight of all men.
[18]If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men.
[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.
[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.
[21]Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.

Are you impersonating me

If you think so, what you think is what you are, be positive

There have been and still are some families or members of family still tied to down without progress despite sincere efforts because some "spiritually " powerful persons have declared for whatever reasons that certain people will never progress in life unless they they are apeaced by the targets victims.
Such powerful individuals with such authority over other people who have to receive divine judgement before their captive victims can have progress.
These things are real in some localities in our country.
That you understand or believe doesn't mean that such doesn't exist.

Now my question to you is this Mr op (assuming that when you pray for your enemy to die, that its actually Jehovah God that you are praying to):

Which one do you think is easier for God to do: to kill your enemy or to soften his mind and get him to change his evil ways?

Remember he does not desire that any shilould perish.

Of course, I know you might bring up the issue of pharaoh and the Egyptians when they refused to let Israel go. But Jehovah stated it clearly that he deliberately hardened the heart of pharaoh in order to display his sovereignty and his mighty power. So the destruction of pharaoh and his army served the purpose for which Jehovah made him in the first place.

So, let me hear form you.

I will start with this, and then you can reason with me. The Bible says we should pray for our enemies; but the question comes, what kind of enemies should we pray for? are they just normal enemies that hate us or those that persecute us or satanic enemies? What prayer should you pray for your unrepentant village head witch that has killed over hundred people and is still a witch or an occultic ritualist using young pupils for money? should it be prayers of blessings?

Someone said "nobody will kill him and repent". Let me ask you! If someone has killed six of your relatives, and does not want to repent, and of which you know that about five of them died as sinners, should you pamper that enemy? Forgive. But what if the enemy is unrepentant and continues killing people?. should we pamper enemies that increase the population of hell fire? should we pamper enemies that do not want to repent until they have killed 200 people?

The enemies I am against here are not really those persecuting or killing you for righteousness sake or those that just hate people normally. I mean those unrepentant enemies that kill "anyhow": e.g ritualists, heartless armed robbers.. Anyway the law enforcements are there!!

What should you do to those unrepentant enemies Killing souls that are ripe for harvest or that are ready to be saved?

Some murderous enemies need to die if they are unrepentant. You may not kill them with your hands, but your prayers can make the law enforcement agencies kill them.


Finally.

(1) Forgive your enemies, preach to them, but never let them kill you before they repent.

(2) Forgive your enemies, preach to them, but never let them kill your loved ones before they repent.

We live by a New Constitution which is the New Testament. There is no where in the New Testament where you are permitted to kill. And you don't handle spiritual things with reasonings or logic. We appeal to scriptures rather than reasonings.

You responsibility is to secure yourself under the cover of the Almighty God. If you are born again and keep yourself, no one can kill you - 1st John 5:18.
And who is he that will harm you, if ye be followers of that which is good? - 1st Peter 3:18.

Those who become victims of these wicked people have themselves to blame. They have the opportunity to accept Christ but rejected him.

Killing someone before they kill you or your loved ones through prayers is spiritual jungle justice. If you try that physically, you certainly will be arrested by the police. They will tell you that you would have reported the incidence to them.

So, you are not permitted to kill anyone for any reason. Christians who kill through prayers are not different from the witches they intend to kill because they are rebellion against the instructions of our Lord Jesus and his Apostles. And rebellion is as the Spirit of witchcraft.

Some of the New Testament instructions concerning how we should relate with our enemies are;

Matthew 5:44 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.

Romans 12:19-21.
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.

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.

21 Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.

Isharon:
Ok! you can give me another moniker

But I am honoured by your imitation, it's a sign of flattery

*SIGHS*
Why should I worry myself over my protection from my enemies? (For) If a man's way pleases the Lord, He will make his enemies be at peace with him. Christians are not to, under any provision, pray against their enemies, except the battle is not the Lord's again. Rather, they should pray for them.

The real question should be, what should one pray his enemies? God give him money, bless him,....? No! The prayer point should be like, God, show these people your light, manifest Yourself (Lord) to them, let them find peace in You.
With this heart, you've helped rid them of the spirit(s) making them hurt you and ultimately, won a soul to the Kingdom of God.

Permit me to give an instance as I close this. Saul of Tarsus was committed and as a matter of fact and truth, persistent in killing early Apostles and Christians at large. I often imagine if the prayers of the church were, 'ah God, this Saul killing Your sons and trying to suppress the propagation of gospel, Your work, Father, kill him. Saul, for you are fighting our God, we say it in the name of Jesus, fall and die!' Just imagine that was the prayers of the early Christian, would Saul have the chance to see that Light and meet Christ? This same enemy later became a writer of about 13books in the new testament.

If your enemies know Christ, they would not hurt you. Jesus Himself said, pray for your enemies and love those who hate you; live your Christian life with love and maybe your religion would be truly worthy of emulation.

Who exactly is their Enemies? why do they believe or think they have enemies? how can they identify their enemies? If really they have all these enemies, how the fu vk! did they survive All through last week, last month and last year? the enemies are all in their Warped imaginations.




Christians are paranoid, mentally ill, Sanctimonious and hyporcritical, cretineous goons.

When you pray for your enemies to die, is just that you want your problems to die...it doesn't mean you praying for your enemies directly ..you praying for your problems to die...sickness is your enemy and must die..poverty is your enemy and must die..

Love Your Enemies

“But I say to you who hear: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, and pray for those who spitefully use you. To him who strikes you on the one cheek, offer the other also. And from him who takes away your cloak, do not withhold your tunic either. Give to everyone who asks of you. And from him who takes away your goods do not ask them back." - Luke 6:27-30

don't be scared!
There are nothing like witches or wizards they are all myths and not reality.
They are all tricks, no one human being have any supernatural power to harm or make you.

Google the meaning of witch or witchcraft or check it in English dictionary. It means magic or tricks performed by people BELIEVED to have supernatural power.
mark the word believed.
That means, anyone can believe anything even when they are not factual, and that kind of believe is common among illiterate people.

For instance, I can twist a group of cards on the table before you and throw one away without you suspecting, then i start telling you that i have supernatural power to make one of the cards disappear. You can easily believe me when you don't understand the trick or magic I'm displaying, why?
Because you were not educated enough about cards and tricks, At that point I'm a witch to you.

So, the witch of endor, that was what she did to deceive Saul and people of that time of primitivity. It is called soccery.

Two things are involve, it's either you're in for Christ or you're in for the god your imagination created.


You claim to be a follower of Christ but you're doing otherwise.


Bros, you're not a Children hoha, you're not different from a pagan.

Saul who later became Paul approved the killing of Apostle Stephen who was filled with the holy spirit. Had it been Stephen called down fire � to consume all the people who wants him dead, there wouldn't be Paul and his works today.

Acts 7:58
While they were stoning him, Stephen prayed, “Lord Yehoshua, receive my spirit.” 60 Then he fell on his knees and cried out, “Lord, do not hold this sin against them.” When he had said this, he fell asleep.

.
.
If Stephen happens to be today's GO, He would have killed everyone �.

Praying for your enemy to die is a demonic prayer.
