TheBedWench: Psalms was written under Law, But Jesus came to change the psalmist prayer Read below please Mathew 5:43,44.... Jesus Says.... You have heard the law that says Love your neighbor’ and hate your enemy (44) But I (Jesus) Say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them |

Benbellamor: Romans wrote the New Testament foul and unholy men. They have no relation to the Black Hwbrews and the Black Messiah. Any man overturning God's eternal law is a blasphemer. |

Omooba77: According to our Master, Lord and King (Christ Jesus), Christians should pray for their enemies. But their is one thing most Churchgoers don't figure out in that admonition:- Who is/are the enemies of Christianity? It's senseless to personalise Jesus' words at some point but generalize his words at some other instances based on selfishness! If Jesus said "in my father's house there are many mansions.....I am going to prepare a place for YOU so that where i am YOU too may be" {John 14:1-4} and everyone wants to generalize the "YOU" as if it's every one listening, then how come they don't want to generalize the words of the same Jesus when he said "Pray for YOUR enemies" If you carefully note the concluding part of that statement Jesus added "those who persecute YOU" Matthew 5:44 So Jesus wasn't referring to individuals Christians consider as their enemy in their yard, office, street or village, rather Jesus was talking about those in Authority who are against the preaching and teaching of God's Kingdom! These are the REAL ENEMIES of Christianity! We must pray for them because Satan is using them as instruments in his hands to oppose the work of God {John 14:30; 1John 5:19} as the god of this world {2Corinthians 4:4} Satan is wielding his influence on this individuals in high places {Ephesians 6:12} to persecute Christians even though we're the most peaceful and law abiding citizens ever {Romans 13:1-8} these people are under the control of demons that's why they're making things difficult for their citizens no matter how they try to be good, God's word said they can't direct their own steps yet they want to direct the steps of millions under their domain! Jeremiah 10:23 compare to Ecclesiastes 4:1, 8:9 So when they find out that True Christians aren't useful to them during their struggle for power or support them to kill their opposers, they will turn against us! TRUE Christians (Jehovah's Witnesses) don't support either side in Politics neither do we join in Racial dispute because we are no part of the world {John 17:14} under Satan's control who are destined to kill one another! Revelations 6:4 So Politicians are bound to hate and persecute us, that's why Jesus asked us to continue praying for them because according to him "they don't know what they're doing" Luke 23:34 compare to Act 7:60 God bless you! |

Maximus69:The bolded is where you twisted Jesus commandments like the pharisee Now lets test your logic now When jesus commands that ...Love your Neighbor AS YOURSELF (the way you loved yourself) Who are Christians Neighbour ? Remember when Jesus was giving this command...he narrated the samaritan story of a man who was abandoned by the pharisee because he is considered uncircumcised and unclean. Oy |
Re: When Last Did You Pray For Your Enemies? by Nobody: 6:55pm On Sep 06, 2020 |
Benbellamor: Our neighbours are people living on planet earth with us, anywhere you find people know that they are your neighbours! But Jesus gave us a totally different law that we must keep within our GROUP {John 13:34-35} here Jesus' command differs from the one he gave us regarding people in general! "Love your neighbour as yourself" {Matthew 22:39} is for all people but @ John 13:34-35 Jesus told Jehovah's Witnesses "Love your fellow believer the same way i've loved you" There the love Jehovah's Witnesses must have for one another is like to prepare to die for our fellow believers if the need arise! |

Yes I have prayed for my enemies, and do you know what I pray for? That amadioha, sango and thor join their thunder and send it to my enemies! That's my prayer for my enemies! #Fvck |
Re: When Last Did You Pray For Your Enemies? by SammyJac(m): 7:22pm On Sep 06, 2020 |
Benbellamor:Thank you. Continue to pray for your enemies who are deeply enmeshed in evil and can go to any length to bring you down to repent and have a change of heart while they continue in thier wickedness. As for me, I must stop them before they stop me. |
Re: When Last Did You Pray For Your Enemies? by SammyJac(m): 7:30pm On Sep 06, 2020 |
Eagban:it's obvious you've not had an encounter with a stubborn enemy who had sworn over their dead body will they let go. |
Re: When Last Did You Pray For Your Enemies? by SammyJac(m): 7:34pm On Sep 06, 2020 |
Eagban:it's obvious you've not had an encounter with a stubborn enemy who had sworn over their dead body will they let go, if you had encountered one, this portion of the scriptures you quoted will be erased from your memory. The best form of defence is attack. |
Re: When Last Did You Pray For Your Enemies? by Eagban(m): 8:00pm On Sep 06, 2020 |
SammyJac:If the Master says so then you must obey believing he has a reason for saying so. He himself gave us the example on the cross by praying for forgiveness for his killers... The worst an enemy can do is to kill. |
Re: When Last Did You Pray For Your Enemies? by ReeLoaDead(m): 8:02pm On Sep 06, 2020 |
Ok OP, I’m praying for you. |
Re: When Last Did You Pray For Your Enemies? by SammyJac(m): 8:34pm On Sep 06, 2020 |
Eagban:it's hightime you faced reality bro. Christ was predestined for a particular asignment. He knew beforehand what He was coming to do in the world. Unlike you and I, He had His blueprint even prior to when He was immaculately conceived. It's foolhardy having all the weapons you need to crush your unrepentant and avowed enemy in your arsenal and do nothing while they strike you dead. Even God will be disappointed that you died shamefully whereas you had everything you needed to defend yourself. It's all about conventional wisdom bro. Think! |

The only enemy man has, is the devil. |
Re: When Last Did You Pray For Your Enemies? by Benbellamor: 9:08pm On Sep 06, 2020 |
SammyJac:You got it All wrong... stop setting aside Jesus command...it's a sin Let me show.why you Must obey christ command... Romans 12:20-21 (G W T) 20 But, “If your enemy is hungry, feed him. If he is thirsty, give him a drink. If you do this, you will make him feel guilty and ashamed.” 21 Don’t let evil conquer you, but conquer evil with good. |
Re: When Last Did You Pray For Your Enemies? by Eagban(m): 7:36am On Sep 07, 2020 |
SammyJac:The reality is that I believe in Jesus. If He says something, do it... He sees your "avowed and unrepentant enemies" and knows when and how to deal with them. 1 Like |
Re: When Last Did You Pray For Your Enemies? by Benbellamor: 11:00am On Sep 07, 2020 |
Eagban:Thank you for this reply How I wish those who don't read their bible but follow blind doctrines are reading this But.Most of them are too lazy to think or reason on their own |

Re: When Last Did You Pray For Your Enemies? by atoleybaba(m): 5:57pm On Sep 09, 2020 |
pansophist:even if my enemy those, d most important thing for me to remain faithful to God and still keep praying for my enemy to change his ways and come to serve God. if God allows my enemy to take my life, I still have hope of living forever in God's kingdom...God said fear not those who kill d body but can't destroy the soul....Stephen was killed by his enemy, yet he prayed for them till death, Paul was killed by his enemy, yet he never cursed them. Jesus was killed by his enemy, still he asked God to forgive them. to end it all, Jesus said continue praying for Ur enemies. in truth, my greatest joy will be to see my enemy either now or later in God kingdom serving God together hand in hand. the same joy the early Christian felt when Saul became a Christian and became paul |
Re: When Last Did You Pray For Your Enemies? by atoleybaba(m): 6:29am On Nov 03, 2020 |
pansophist:if my enemy does, I have hope that when God's kingdom comes, I will be in it cos I av done what he asked me to...even Stephen kept praying for his enemies while been stoned by his enemy till his death. The point is, if u can avoid being harmed by your enemy, avoid it. If you can prevent it, prevent it. But never stop praying for them. No be me talk am, na bible talk am |
