imprecatory prayers QUESTION from Marilyn July 19, 2000 Dear John Paul
I have been saying a spiritual warfare prayer for some time and know how well it works, but now am concerned about your information on imprecatory prayers. Please advise.
The prayer follows:
Heavenly Father I ask you in the name and through the blood of the Lord Jesus Christ to rebuke Satan for taking captive that which belongs to you.
I ask Jesus to place His crown of thorns around (here name person)so that those with wrong influences will lose interest and depart.
Mary our mother place your mantle of love and protection around your son/daughter. Amen
This prayer has made a difference in my own children's lives and others when I have given it to the parents to say. Please clarify for me if I should cease using this prayer.
Marilyn
