Greetings Lcdking! For those who may not know, an imprecatory prayer is a prayer in which vengeance, death, or some curse is called for upon one's enemies. They are found in the Old Testament. But, I can't think of any clear examples in the New Testament. Some have argued that Jesus prayer concerning Judas may have been one, and there are a few cases of church discipline that some think may be imprecatory in nature. However, I can't think of any clear cut instances. Here is link to a good article about this subject: http://www.gotquestions.org/imprecatory-prayer.html Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

Dear Pastor Tim, We have, at least, Luke 9:53-56. Furthermore, what more can be called down upon unbelievers, than what already rests upon them (John 3:36; Revelation 21:8) -- the full wrath of God? In Him, Doc |

Greetings Doc! I had thought about the disciples comment to Jesus, but the question specifically asked for imprecatory prayers. Their comment was a question, not a prayer. There are other examples of curses, like Paul blinding a man. But, I can't think of any prayers off of the top of my head. :-) Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

God's day to you, Tim and Doc, Tim, I think you mean Paul cursing Elymas for resisting the gospel (Act 13:6-11) or delivering Hymenaeus and Alexander over to Satan (1Ti 1:20). I don't see him praying, but IMHO I doubt he did it wihout being in tune with God. Like Peter's sentence on Ananias and Sapphira (Acts 5:1-11). Is Galatians 1:8-9 a prayer ... damning any who would pervert the Gospel? I prayed before saying anathema on someone who was twisting the Bible. After 3 weeks of pointing out lies, I told him he must leave the church and never preach again. Then I said anathema. Searcher |
