The Power of Imprecatory Prayers

Many pseudo-Christians think that because God is Love, he does not punish people through prayers of his saints. These people also think that loving others means praying for the good of others always. They oftenly quote Mat. 5v. 44 where Jesus said we should pray for our enemies. However, Mat. 5v. 44 does not say we should not pray evil upon wicked people, but was saying we should first pray forgiving them and allowing God to deal with them. Rom. 12v. 19 says that vengeance belongs to God, and this means that imprecatory prayers are necessary to allow God to punish sinners who offend us. We are also called to be just, not loving. That is why God says that government officers are used by him to punish wrong doers in Rom. 13. Our governments have judges and armed forces used to punish wicked people by God and we should pray that whoever is involved in criminal activities, like the fallen Osama, be punished by the law enforcers in our nations. If you cannot pray calling down woes, death, and doom upon terrorists who refuse to repent and do what is godly and good, you are a devil servant. Those terrorists kill innocent people and deserve God;s wrath to the fullest. I personally cannot allow any person to kill me or those I love. I will declare death and doom upon them before they do it, and leave the results with God to determine when to do it. Remember the Bible says that people like witches and other agents of the devil should no be allowed to live. We must pray that they die unless they repent and live.

Imprecatory prayers are prayers calling down evil upon those who sin against us. Jer. 14v. 11 and Jer. 11v. 14 says you should not pray for the well being of this people. If God commanded Jeremiah to pray for woe upon those people, then it is biblical to do the same today. When you ask God to destroy your enemy, you are simply forgiving that person and allowing God to revenge on your behalf. If the person repents, the evil will not happen, but God will forgive and bless him. Ps. 109 is a good example of imprecatory prayers. David declares that the days of his persecutor shall be few and that his office shall be taken by another person. He even declares that his enemy’s wife shall become a widow and his children shall become beggars. This Psalm was applied by the New Testament apostles against Judas who betrayed Jesus. The said his days had become few according to the Scriptures. Jesus called down woe upon several unrepentant cities and upon the religious leaders of his days who opposed him. If Jesus called down evil on those people, it is correct to do so today. 1 John 5v. 16 says that you should pray for a person whose sin leads to death to live. That means that you should pray that God kills that person!

God does not change. If in the Old Testament his prophets imprecated others, we should do so toady. If Jesus called down woe on Judas, which caused Judas to commit suicide, we must follow his example. God has called us to release both blessings and curses from him. He is a just God. The Bible in Judges 5v. 23 curses whoever does not support Jesus against his enemies who are mighty. Moses, Elijah, Elisha, Jesus, etc., were full of love and justice. Elisha called a curse which led to the death of 42 young people. Love does not mean you preach peace, peace when there is no peace. The Bible teaches that each shall reap what they sow. Isa. 48v. 22 says there is no peace for the wicked. How the hell then do you pray for the peace of our persecutors? I have personally called down blessings on people and they came. I have also called down God’s curses on my persecutors and several died and others live lives of pain.

I recall how I was persecuted by the Principal of Kivaa Secondary School in Masinga in 2008 simply because of teaching that imprecatory prayers are biblical. The Principal and his cohorts informed me they would interdict me if I did not stop teaching verses on imprecatory prayers, and because I did not obey his demonic directive, I lost my job. He had imagined he was my god, by trying to tell me what to preach. Some fellow teachers who were Pastors also supported him, and I was even called an agent of Satan because of teaching about imprecatory prayers and declarations. I was beaten both in the staffroom and outside my house at Kivaa market by two teachers, and despite all that, the TSC, which supports religious discrimination based on my case, went ahead and took away my job. They even praised the HOD who took my walking stick and attacked me with it in the staffroom in my presence on 29.10.2008 when my case was being heard. That time I was walking with the help of a walking stick after I had been involved in bad road accident sometimes in the past. The Principal and his cohorts took advantage of my physical challenge to persecute me for my faith. And the TSC panel even preached Islam to me expecting me to accept that religion of the Alshabab and Algaeda, and when I refuted it because I had not gone there to listen to Islamic sermons, I was commanded to collect my documents and leave, with them promising they would enjoy sinning against me! Regardless of what they did, I am still serving my God according to his terms, but not according to the terms of a wicked Principal who imagines he is a god whose doctrines I should preach. And God has promised that he will deal with that Principal and his cohorts wherever they may be at his own time.
