How can we justify such a prayer? I didn't justify it. I agree its witchcraft. If the intent and purpose of the prayer you are praying for someone is to see evil brought against them. then it is not a Godly prayer. We can pray that the Lord move the individual out of the way, and pray that God would show the individual the evil they are doing, but to invoke evil....that word sounds like the devil. (invoke) |

good point crazy, though I also believe that this type of prayer falls into the line of witchcraft. We'd be hard pressed to say David was praying prayers of witchcraft. Asking God to bring enemies to justice isn't witchcraft--rather, it's asking for an acceleration of the principle of sowing and reaping. This makes me think that we may have a skewed view of witchcraft today. |

(invoke) LOL, I guess I should have used the quote feature. You and I are on the same page..I was asking how could one (not you) justify it when THEY pray such a prayer. |

This makes me think that we may have a skewed view of witchcraft today. Maybe so Krazee, but when the motive and intent of the prayer is evil..can we really say thats God? It be better that we cry, "Lord how long will you allow them to continue to do this", then cry out "Lord, Kill them". |

I usually reserve the "God get 'em" prayers for the most horrendous of evildoers, and this includes Osama. My prayer concerning him is "Lord, bring his days to an end swiftly." God have mercy on his soul. |
