Is it right for Christains to pray for others to die ?

Luke 9:54-56

54 And when His disciples James and John saw this, they said, "Lord, do You want us to command fire to come down from heaven and consume them, just as Elijah did?"   

55 But He turned and rebuked them, and said, "You do not know what manner of spirit you are of. 56 For the Son of Man did not come to destroy men's lives but to save them." And they went to another village. (NKJV)

The reason why Christ Jesus NEVER asked the Father to KILL His enemies or consume them with fire , even those that put Him to death on the cross, is simply because He knew
the Father and the promises of guidance and protection, the Father made to Him. And I think Stephen got this understanding too, otherwise all we are enjoying through Paul's books,"may not" be a reality today, if Stephen had called down fire or ask God to consume his killers including Saul by fire.

“Many of us want the power of God. We want to be able to perform miracles. The question that God is asking is: are you willing to love? If you have the power without love, you will destroy many people! If you have the abilities of God without the love of God, anyone offends you is a dead person”(Tues Sept 16 Open Heavens Vol. 14 by Pastor E.A Adeboye of The Redeemed Christian Church Of God)

Jesus Christ believes the Father and has a 100 percent confidence that the Father will keep His words including protecting and fighting for His enemies.

And because Jesus is fully aware of what the Father will do to His enemies, some of which are stated below, He pleads for their forgiveness/ God’s mercy.

If our ways are right before God, our battles become God’s; our contenders become God’s instantly.

Some of these promises of guidance/protection and security are 

(1) Isaiah 49:25-26
"Even the captives of the mighty shall be taken away, And the prey of the terrible be delivered; For I will contend with him who contends with you.....(26) I will feed those who oppress you with their own flesh, And they shall be drunk with their own blood as with sweet wine. All flesh shall know That I, the LORD, am your Saviour, And your Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob." (NKJV)

(2)Rev 11:5"...If anyone tries to harm you, fire comes from your mouth and devours them. And this is how anyone who wants to destroy you MUST die" (NKJV)

(3) Romans 12:19, God says He will revenge for Him and you know what it means when God revenges or goes for war for someone. (NKJV)

(4) Psalm 105:14-16 (14) He permitted no one to do them wrong; Yes, He rebuked kings for their sakes, (15) Saying, "Do not touch My anointed ones, And do My prophets no harm." 16 Moreover He called for a famine in the land; He destroyed all the provision of bread.  (NKJV)

(5) Josh 1:5-6
5 No man shall be able to stand before you all the days of your life; as I was with Moses, so I will be with you. I will not leave you nor forsake you. NKJV

Isa 41:9-16
9 ......And said to you, ‘You are My servant, I have chosen you and have not cast you away: 10 Fear not, for I am with you; Be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, Yes, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.'
11 "Behold, all those who were incensed against you shall be ashamed and disgraced; they shall be as nothing, and those who strive with you shall perish. 12 You shall seek them and not find them — those who contended with you. Those who war against you shall be as nothing, as a nonexistent thing. 15 "Behold, I will make you into a new threshing sledge with sharp teeth; you shall thresh the mountains and beat them small, and make the hills like chaff. 16 You shall winnow them, the wind shall carry them away, and the whirlwind shall scatter them; you shall rejoice in the LORD, and glory in the Holy One of Israel. (NKJV)

(6)Isa 10:27

27 It shall come to pass in that day that his burden will be taken away from your shoulder and his yoke from your neck, and the yoke will be destroyed because of the anointing. Authorised KJV

(7) Num 23:23

23 "For there is no sorcery against Jacob, nor any divination against Israel. It now must be said of Jacob and of Israel, 'Oh, what God has done!'NKJV

Aware of all these and many more that will befall His enemies as well as the assurance of protections. Jesus Christ walking right with the Father who jokes not with His words/promises prays to the Father to forgive His enemies.
  
Please stop praying for your human enemies to die! If at all it works. Anyone that does so is simply agent employed unknowingly by cunny lucifer, the satan in fulfilling his ministry of sending many souls to hell!

We are called to save souls NOT to destroy them!!

“For God derives no joy in the death of a sinner”   Ezek 18:23 and 32.

“God also want all men to repent come to Him”   1Tim2:4 

“God is patient with you ; not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance.”  2Peter3:9

Why Jesus Christ did came and die? Was it not that the lost sheep/sinners/men been manipulated by satan/ souls of men be reconciled back to God?

Pray right, walk right with God, Live right with God.

Then He will handle your enemies accordingly, in a manner that you will ask Him to show them mercy!

How Jesus Christ, our master and Lord whom we are following prayed:

  • He bound devils
  • He casted out devils 
  • He destroyed the works of satan
  • He rebuked satan
  • He prayed for His enemies
  • He submitted His spirit in to the hands of the Father
  • He healed as many as where brought to Him
  • He never killed anyone or prayed for anyone to die but was saving lives !
WHO ARE WE TO FIGHT/DESTROY

1Jn3:8
“...for this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that He might destroy the works of the devil.” (NKJV)

Eph 6:12-13
12 For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places, “not our fellow humans! They are not our problem, trace and deal with the source which is satan/devils".  13 Therefore take up the whole armour of God “live your life according to the obedience will of God as written in the bible", that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. NKJV

2Cor10:3-5

 3 For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh. 4 For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God "for pulling down strongholds, 5 casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ"....and not to kill and consume humans by fire(NKJV)

Pray Right!

Wonder why you keep praying "dangerous prayers" and having more attacks in dreams and in real life? 

You are praying wrongly! 
You are chasing shadows! 
You are getting satan angry! 
You are showing satan how ignorant you are in the knowledge of the true word of God.

The Lord by His Holy Spirit, help us to pray well in the name of our Lord 


Jesus Christ
