Imprecatory Prayer is Now Our Duty [Excerpts]

Pastor Wiley S. Drake Sr. said after he asked men of God to advise him, he is starting an imprecatory prayer meeting to be held each Wednesday at 6:00 pm PDT. The prayer meeting will be each Wednesday.

Pastor Drake indicated that this will not be a traditional prayer meeting but strictly limited to the perfect prayers listed both in the Old and New Testament.

John Calvin gave the church it's marching orders from Scripture. The righteous have dominion, but only through imprecatory prayer against the ungodly.

David as our Old testament shepherd gives us many Imprecatory prayers, and can be found to be in best focus in Psalm 109. Also chapters 55,58,68,69, and 83.

Pray these back to God and He will answer.

Jesus in Matthew 23: 13,15,16,23,24,27, and 29 gave us our New Testament marching orders as well.

Let us join Paul and declare anathema upon anyone "who loves not the Lord Jesus" (I Cor 16:22).

[TBC: An "imprecatory prayer" is a prayer asking for the Lord to curse an enemy, often through his death. In 2 Timothy:2:24-25 Paul wrote, “And the servant of the Lord must not strive; but be gentle to all men, apt to teach, patient, In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if God peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth.” Even the verses speaking of conditions approaching the last days do not depart from this approach, “I charge you therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom; Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine.” (2 Timothy:4:1-5). “Reproving,” “rebuking,” and even “exhorting” must be done with “great patience” and “instruction.” Biblical instruction does not hastily resort to the rod. The “long suffering” (godly patience) should be our attitude towards those being ministered to.]
