Is It Biblical To Pray For Peace In The Endtime? by Prodeegee(m): 9:31pm On Nov 30, 2014
So I heard a pastor on radio today, praying for peace in the nation and a thought sprung up. If ds Same pastors tell us "its the Endtime" and the bible tells us d signs of 'The Endtime' which we see already, why do they also pray for peace? I just need clarification from spiritual folks here. Share ur thoughts if this has ever crossed ur mind too.

Praying for peace when you know what is about to happen is, er.....unscriptural, i dare say. There can be no permanent peace.

Exactly my point. So why do we have pastors praying for peace? Why won't they rather concentrate on evangelism

They're disillusioned by their fears. They know the truth but they hold it in error. They fear to tell their congregations that the worst is yet to come: hence, most of those who are spoon-fed in the congregations will find their faith shaking with confusion and may yield in compromise to the world when the pangs of all that is to come hit them. The desire for peace will leave them vulnerable to the man of sin. Everyone wants peace but satan has taken the peace everyone desire from the hearts of some and have used them to destroy their own peace. Who wants to wake up one morning and see all our establishments and society destroyed by something, say a natural disaster, war or whatever? What do you think the rider on the white horse who had a bow but no arrows (in Revelations) represent? I tell those around me that the worst is really yet to come: that even as we go about our businesses and establishments, we should know that they'll last for just a while.

Hmmm...

The peace they seek for is not going to be real..is going to be temporary.

The bible says:

1 thess. 5:3
"For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape."

The kingdom we have now is not meant to favour the believers in Christ Jesus. This is why Yahshua (Jesus), thought us to pray like this.

"Our father who at in heaven hallowed be thy name Thy kingdom come..."

Take note of the bold..a true believer is to pray for the lord's kingdom to come in this end time. Maranatha (our lord come)

Shalom aliechem le makhbir kolam (peace be multiply to you all)

Provide proof or you stand accused of blasphemy.

Well, any prayer at all is an attempt to change God's plan. Praying for peace at the end time is justified as long as prayers can make God take a different course of action.

Who do I blaspheme? My claims are harmless to all those who love truth and light, but they're venom to the children of darkness. I owe no man an apology for this. I should not reply you on this considering you've willingly sold out your whole being to the devil and blasphemously flagged his mark on you, evidence being your moniker. But I have one message for you: you're dining with the hater of your soul and he drags you to hell while soothing the the temporal pain with filthy lucre. I pray you realize your error soon: before it's too late. The signs tell me that the time is really near. Don't quote me again.
PS: Apostle Paul let me know that the kingdom of God which I herald on earth is not one proven with evidence or wisdom of men, but of the power of God Almighty. I won't say more. Let the prophecies be fulfilled - yes they will.

What happens to the reliability of Gods word?

Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.


Yes, prayer moves the hand of God, but not on things that make him God.

Its like praying that the trumpet should sound tomorrow, after he has said no man knows the hour or the minute.

Pls prove me wrong

Well, I think all catholic churches do pray for peace in the states and nation.
We pray for peace in plateau state, in my church. By the wordings, you'll see that it's quite important.

John 8:44. Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.

Silly fool. The children of Satan are free men not sycophants such as yourself. You are the slaves who have sold your souls to yahweh at the cost of his Son. Only slaves are paid or redeemed. I NEED NOT satan's love. LIGHT, ILLLUMINATION AND KNOWLEDGE are of paramount interest to those who follow the path of Satan. One day, you'll be dead. And it will be too late to be free. You will die a slave.

we're not talking of peace in the family. We're talking of the peace of a nation.

If your marriage is Gods will, there will surely be peace 'somewhat'.

Therz no marriage without its downside, so I pray for the wisdom to deal with things that happen.

When therz too much peace in the family tho, deception is dwelling somewhere.

GOD IS THE MASTER PLANNER OF ALL THINGS EVIL AND GOOD. CHRIST AND SATAN ARE HIS SPIRIT SONS. GOD, SAME GOD TOLD US TO PRAY IN ALL SITUATIONS AND FOR ALL THINGS SO HE CAN PLEASE US AND CHANGE OUR ENDTIME TO START TIME. THIS IS THE FAITH AND GOD IS VERY CAPABLE. PRAYER IS THE MASTER KEY.

2 Timothy 1:8
Be not thou therefore ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me His prisoner: but be thou partaker of the afflictions of the gospel according to the power of God. (that proves my PS in my last post)

2 Timothy 2:15,16
'Study to show thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth'
So I have no reason to babble in vain. But know this:

2 Timothy 2:19
'Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are His. And, Let everyone that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity.'

Concerning this topic, this should be a light:
2 Timothy 4:1-5.
May I be a slave to God if it's needed for my redemption to be complete, for I do not own myself. I am his invention. If I can instruct a computer what to do and we can control our inventions, much more, and exceedingly greater, can the Lord Jesus do with me. I am at his service always. My will is His.

If the light, illumination and knowledge is thesame u have, then I'd rather be a slave. U can't even spell psychopath. What's the reason for your existence?

U just want to live free and die and go to hell?

Amen. May He bless you too, even more. Peace we still pray. Yes. His peace to us. Not that of the flesh and worldly peace, but His inner peace and reassurance by the Holy Spirit.
