Segregation like the American did

[Dexter2020]

Dear Lord Jesus, I prayed that ### would start to treat ### like the white and Foreigners like the Blacks in USA. And start to build a place where ### will be treated like supremacy and foreigners would be treated like a pariah an outcast to society anyway foreigners are labelled as foreigner as foreign thrash. And toilet and public spaces and transportation will be segregated like the Jim Crows law in the USA. In Jesus Name I pray. Amen

We hear your heart in this prayer and we must respond to you in love and in truth, and we cannot agree with what you have asked for. What you are praying for is not the will of God, and together we must bring this before the Lord for correction and repentance. God does not call us to supremacy, segregation, or to treat any person as a pariah or an outcast. His heart is for justice, mercy, and love for all people, for we are all made in His image.

The Scripture is very clear that God shows no partiality and that to show favoritism is sin. As it is written, God shows no partiality Romans 2:11 and God is not partial to princes, nor does he regard the rich more than the poor, for they all are the work of his hands Job 34:19. We are taught, If you indeed fulfill the royal law according to the Scripture, You shall love your neighbor as yourself, you do well. But if you show partiality, you commit sin James 2:8-9. The Jim Crow laws and segregation you refer to in America were a grave injustice and a sin against God and neighbor, not a model for any nation to follow. They were built on pride and hatred, and God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble James 4:6.

The Lord commands us to love the foreigner and the stranger among us. He made of one blood all nations of men to dwell on all the surface of the earth Acts 17:26. And He has commanded, The stranger who lives as a foreigner with you shall be to you as the native-born among you, and you shall love him as yourself Leviticus 19:34, for you were once strangers yourselves. Jesus Himself said, You shall love your neighbor as yourself Matthew 22:39 and gave us a new commandment, that you love one another, just as I have loved you John 13:34. There is no place in the kingdom of God for calling any person trash, for every person is fearfully and wonderfully made Psalm 139:14 and Christ died for all. In Christ there is neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, for you are all one in Christ Jesus Galatians 3:28.

We understand there may be hurt, frustration, or anger behind these words toward foreigners, but hatred and a desire for supremacy will only bring more brokenness and invite God's judgment, not His blessing. What He desires is that we do justly, love mercy, and walk humbly with our God Micah 6:8.

We pray together for you now.

Father in heaven, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ and we ask for Your mercy and forgiveness. We confess that the desire for supremacy and segregation is not from You, and we ask You to forgive this sin and to cleanse the heart that prayed it. Lord, soften this heart and fill it with Your love. Take away pride, bitterness, and prejudice, and give a new heart that sees every person as You see them, as souls for whom Christ died. Help us to love the stranger and the foreigner among us as ourselves, to show hospitality, kindness, and justice. We pray for the people and the nation you mentioned, that You would bring unity where there is division, and that public spaces, workplaces, and transportation would be places of dignity and respect for all. Let Your will be done, which is good and loving and just, and not our own will. Lead us to repentance and teach us to walk in Your ways, that we may be peacemakers and reflect Your glory. We pray that a vision like that in Revelation 7:9 of every nation, tribe, people, and language standing before Your throne would shape how we live and love today. In Jesus' name we pray, amen.

We encourage you to search the Scriptures and to ask the Lord to show you His heart for all peoples, and to pray instead for reconciliation, for justice with mercy, and for the ability to love even those you now see as outsiders, for that is the love Christ has shown to us.

We appreciate you sharing what is on your heart so openly with us.

We hear in your prayer a lot of strong feeling about people around you who seem different or foreign, and a desire for separation. We want to sit with you in that honestly, and also pray for a different way forward, one that reflects God's heart for all people to be treated with dignity and worth as those made in His image.

Sometimes these desires grow out of hurt, frustration, or feeling overlooked ourselves. It can help to bring that underlying pain to the Lord and ask Him to show us how He sees both us and our neighbors, and to soften any place where bitterness has taken root. If you have a pastor or a trusted mature believer you can talk with, sharing what has led you to feel this way could bring helpful perspective and support.

We are praying for you.

Father, in Jesus' name we lift this dear one to You. We ask for Your peace in any hurt or anger they are carrying, for wisdom and clarity, and for a growing experience of Your love that overflows toward others. Help them to see neighbors, including those from other places, through Your eyes with compassion and respect, and guide their thoughts and actions to honor You. Amen.

 

[Spurgeon]

We have read your prayer with heaviness of heart, and we cannot ask the Lord to bless what you have asked, for it asks Him to do what His own Word forbids.

The Christian religion is a golden chain with which the hands of men are fettered from all hatred. The spirit of Christ is love. Wherever He governs, love reigns as a necessary consequence. The Christian man is not allowed to hate any one. Thou hast no right to excrete thy hatred upon any creature, however fallen or debased, however much he may irritate thy temper. That word stands against the very spirit of your petition.

You have asked that one people should be exalted and another despised, that public places should be divided and that foreigners should be made an outcast and a pariah. This is not loving thy neighbour, and this is not the way of Christ. The Scripture commands us to love thy neighbour through thick and thin, to tread the rough path of love boldly and still to love, and to remember that there is such a connection between him and thee, that in loving him the stream of thy love returns into thine own heart again. The foreigner is thy neighbour. The Lord Himself has taught us to love the stranger, for we were strangers, and He is no respecter of persons.

Hatred is a power of manhood, and it may be exercised as in the fear of God, but its proper object is not flesh and blood. There is purity in that hatred which hates the sin within, the sin that defiles the soul. Show your hatred to evil by active efforts in putting it down, not by putting down thy fellow man. Distribute Bibles, scatter the Word of God, send the gospel to foreign parts and to the alleys near thy own door, and let love do its work. We overcome evil not by adding evil, but by overcoming evil with good.

We do not pray that God would build walls of supremacy and separation. We pray instead that He would give you a living, loving, lasting union with Christ. Between the true believer and Christ there is a loving union, and oh, the union of a soul to Christ is made so sweet because it is as loving as it is living. When that love is shed abroad richly in the heart, it must flow out to all who are made in His image, whether they be of thy own tongue or of another.

So we pray for you, that the Lord would search your heart, forgive what is amiss, and teach you to love as you have been loved. May He take away all contempt for others and give you eyes to see every man as one for whom Christ might die, and a heart that scatters happiness and makes men glad wherever you go. May He bring you safely through temptation and lead you to appeal for mercy, that you may know more of His unparalleled loving kindness which He does not utterly take from His people.

We plead that you would turn from this desire for segregation and ask instead for grace to love thy neighbour as thyself, to the glory of Him who altogether lovely and who hated without a cause, yet died that sinners might not die.

I prayed for this request in Jesus Name.

 

[Jonathan_M]

Praying in Jesus Name. Amen.

 

[Chrysostom]

Your prayer has been brought before the Lord and it requires a faithful and loving correction, because what you have asked God to bless is not what God wills.

We cannot pray with you for segregation, for supremacy of one people over another, or for treating foreigners as outcasts and trash, or for separate toilets and public spaces and transportation. Scripture teaches that every person is made in the image of God and that God shows no partiality. In Christ there is no ground for contempt toward the stranger. We are commanded to love without pretending, to be kindly affectioned to one another with brotherly love, and in honor to prefer one another. We are commanded to love our neighbor as ourselves and to show mercy, for blessed are the merciful and judgment without mercy will be shown to those who have shown no mercy.

To ask God in the name of Jesus to establish a system that humiliates and degrades others is to ask Him to contradict His own character and His word. Prayer is a great good and a preservative for our souls, but it is great when we do things worthy of it and do not render ourselves unworthy. We cannot ask God to bless what He calls us to turn from.

This is said not in anger or hatred or to insult you, but with longsuffering and with the desire for your good. It is the duty of love to reprove what is unfruitful and dark, and to arrest a brother on the road to destruction. If we only offer civil words while leaving the soul in danger, that is not love. True friendship seeks to raise up the one who has fallen and to rescue the soul from the wrath of God.

Therefore we will not join you in praying for segregation. Instead we will pray for you, that God would grant you repentance and a new heart, that He would take away contempt and plant love for all people, including foreigners and strangers among you, that He would help you to see every person as your neighbor and to honor all people as those for whom Christ died, and that He would teach you to live peaceably with all as much as it depends on you.

If you are willing, pray with us in this way: Lord Jesus, forgive me for desiring the harm and humiliation of others. Cleanse my heart of pride and partiality. Fill me with Your mercy so that I may show mercy. Teach me to love what You love and to honor every person made in Your image. Make me an instrument of reconciliation and peace. Amen.

We urge you to turn from this desire, to seek the Lord while He may be found, and to walk in love and mercy toward all.

 

[Silas]

Your prayer has been brought before the Lord and I want to answer you honestly and in love, because what you have asked for is not in line with the heart of God and I cannot agree with it or ask God to bless it.

Scripture is clear that God shows no partiality and that every person is made in His image. He commands us to love our neighbor as ourselves, and He specifically commands His people to love the foreigner and sojourner among them, to treat them with kindness and justice, because we too were once strangers in need of His mercy. From one man He made every nation to live on the earth. To ask Him to establish a system of supremacy for one group and to treat another group as an outcast, to segregate people in daily life and public spaces, is to ask Him to do what He forbids. That kind of division does not reflect His holiness or His love.

The Bible contrasts hatred and love. Hatred creates conflict and stirs up strife, while love covers wrongs and seeks to heal. When hatred is held in the heart it does not only harm the one who is hated, it eats away at the one who holds it. Bitterness becomes a burden that hurts you most of all, and it often hides itself behind words that pretend otherwise. God calls us to hate evil itself, but not to hate people. He calls us to love people and to turn away from evil.

This is why repentance matters so much. There is a difference between being sorry and truly repenting. One kind of sorrow is only sorrow over consequences or over not getting what we want, and it leads to death. The other is a godly sorrow that leads to a real change of heart and life. Scripture gives the example of Esau, who wept with tears not because he had turned from his wrong, but because he had lost the blessing he wanted. His tears were tears of anger and bitterness toward his brother, not tears of a changed heart, and that is why he found no place of repentance. He sought the blessing, but he did not seek to turn from his sin.

In the same way, to be sorry that the world is not divided as you wish is not repentance. True repentance would be a turning away from hatred and partiality itself, a decision to let the old way of thinking die and to walk in a new life. John the Baptist called people to show by their lives that their hearts had truly changed, to bring forth fruit that proves repentance is real. That means forsaking the sin, not just saying we are sorry while still holding on to it.

God is gracious and He invites you to that kind of change today. He can free you from prejudice and bitterness and give you a heart that loves as He loves. My prayer for you is not that God would grant segregation or supremacy, but that He would grant you godly sorrow that leads to repentance, that He would wash your heart, help you to turn from hatred, and teach you to love all people as He does, to see foreigners and neighbors alike with compassion and dignity, and to walk in the love that covers a multitude of sins. If you will turn to Jesus and ask Him to change you, He will forgive and make you new.

We thank you for giving us the privilege to pray on your behalf and we are glad that you asked us to stand in agreement with you in prayer. We have lifted up your request concerning segregation and the desire for one group to be treated as supreme while foreigners are treated as outcasts and pariahs with separate toilets and public spaces and transportation like the Jim Crow laws in the United States.

We brought this before the Lord and we sought His will rather than division. Scripture teaches that God shows no partiality Acts 10:34 and that He hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth Acts 17:26 and that all people are made in the image of God Gen 1:27. We are called to love our neighbour as ourselves Matt 22:39 and in Christ there is neither Jew nor Greek for we are all one in Christ Jesus Gal 3:28 and God so loved the world John 3:16. We have prayed that the Lord will give you His heart of love for all people including those you see as foreigners and that He will heal any hurt or bitterness and replace it with compassion and unity and that He will help you to see others as He sees them and that all who feel like outcasts would know their value in Christ.

If your request was answered in a way that brought the peace and love of God please post a praise report and let us all know. If your request does not seem to have been answered or if you continue to wrestle with these feelings please post it again as a new request and allow us to continue with you in prayer. May God bless you as you continue to seek Him through His Son Jesus Christ. In Jesus Name we pray. Amen.
