Someone asked this they said for the impregatory prayer about a pedophile
Even if I don't know his last name or whether or not he's still alive. God will eventually reveal that to me
Well, here's the thing
Um
Even if you don't know their name, you know, I I think about this, you know
I've often prayed for people that maybe I just forgot their name or just you know
I don't remember their name and it's just like lord, you know who they are
Because obviously god is omniscient
and so, um if a person
Did something to you obviously, you know the eyes of the lord
Are over the righteous
And not only that but the eyes of the lord behold the good and the evil the bible says
and sometimes
In my opinion
God will actually judge people that have wronged his people
Um
without notifying us
Because if you think about it, he he doesn't he's not necessarily obligated to tell us when he judges someone
And you gotta understand something when he says vengeance is mine I will repay he's basically saying i'm taking it personal
This is like they've done it unto me
right
Now I will say this is that sometimes he does reveal it
You know, he does
And i'll give you an example of this
Last year, I think it was last year. Maybe it was the year before
I got my what was the the first fundamentalist conference was that last year? That was last year, right?
We had a fundamentalist conference and I had this this this troll
who um
Put all kinds of effort into like stopping our conference shutting us down
I mean persecuting persecuting us hard
And I wasn't the only one he was persecuting. He was persecuting a lot of my friends
But during this time, I mean he was he was going hard after us
He got our conference shut down like four times or something in a different state
We literally had to relocate
A lot of people to different locations because he kept shutting us down over and over again
and he would make these these these slanderous videos about us and just
You know just troll us and mock us and say all manner of evil against us and just just just a wicked person
And he literally just invested
Hours upon hours to just persecute god's people
And try to hinder us from preaching the gospel from getting people saved in his state
And I didn't even knew like we held this conference and I didn't even know that that's where he lived
He actually divulged that information. I was like, oh man
This guy's around here
So this takes place
And and really he made it really hard for us to to to hold this conference and you know, it was really bad
And but the conference was a complete success we got a lot of people saved
The word of god was preached people were edified
And it was you know, it was it was it was very much worth it
But I came back and I told my church about this and i'm like we're holding prayer meetings
And we're gonna praise him in pregatory prayers for this guy because he's so wicked
And he you know, he he slandered so many of my pastor friends and has sought to just hinder the work of god
I mean this guy is a worker of iniquity
So we prayed for him prayed in pregatory prayers against him for for months
and then you know, it's it just
You know, we weren't that in portune. We just weren't that persistent. We just kind of forgot about him
but then in the beginning of january we caught we got news that he was actually
I mean just to kind of put it plainly. He was just like brutally murdered
You know and it was some pretty you know shady situation that he was in
And it was pretty evident that it was god who basically judged that person because he allowed evil to befall that individual
And we just so happened to find out about it
And I thought to myself luke 18
God answers prayer because this person sought to hinder the work of god
You know the bible says pray for us that the word of the lord may have free course
And that we would be delivered from unreasonable and wicked men for all men have not faith
Paul said pray for us that we would be delivered from evil people who try to hinder us from preaching the gospel
And you know that that's what happened to us and so, you know, this person was was grievously punished under very shady circumstances
I mean very very shady circumstances like he was involved in some illegal stuff
And so, um, I believe you know, sometimes god does reveal when he punishes an evildoer, but sometimes he doesn't
Maybe it doesn't even happen in our lifetime
And so, um
definitely
