hello please join me in praying for inmate Wade Wilson sentenced to death and is on death row the truth of the matter is I found grace in this man because he resembles my beloved nephew Ivan and the thing is I can't see him dead it is just grace that breaks my heart and so I plead for his life and maybe he can revaluate his life and change his ways also if he needs medical help he can receive the help but yeah if they kill him well it is already detrimental. Thanks.

He's still alive, so we CAN pray he repents and accepts Jesus.
BUUUT, that doesn't mean we should pray for clemency, or a switch to a life sentence. He can be saved, but must still pay for his crimes.

He brutally murdered 2 women. Let's not forget the daily pain their families endure.

Heavenly Father, open the eyes of my heart so that I see people and never overlook anyone again. Help me make people around me feel seen, known, heard, dignified and valued. Use this study to show me how I can grow to see others more clearly than ever before, to see them the way you do. In Jesus’ name, amen.

Isaiah 11:3-5 NLT
[3] He will delight in obeying the Lord. He will not judge by appearance nor make a decision based on hearsay. [4] He will give justice to the poor and make fair decisions for the exploited. The earth will shake at the force of his word, and one breath from his mouth will destroy the wicked. [5] He will wear righteousness like a belt and truth like an undergarment.

John 5:19 NLT
[19] So Jesus explained, “I tell you the truth, the Son can do nothing by himself. He does only what he sees the Father doing. Whatever the Father does, the Son also does.

Ephesians 1:15-19 NLT
[15] Ever since I first heard of your strong faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for God’s people everywhere, [16] I have not stopped thanking God for you. I pray for you constantly, [17] asking God, the glorious Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, to give you spiritual wisdom and insight so that you might grow in your knowledge of God. [18] I pray that your hearts will be flooded with light so that you can understand the confident hope he has given to those he called—his holy people who are his rich and glorious inheritance. [19] I also pray that you will understand the incredible greatness of God’s power for us who believe him. This is the same mighty power

I keep getting errors when trying to give reactions also. They must be tinkering with the site (chat maybe?).

Thanks very much for mentioning this.

I thought it was just my computer or the browser, but apparently it's something with the site...

It’s easy to be against capital punishment, but when you know what heinous crimes they have committed it’s a fair chance that they should not be amongst other people. At all.

I 100% agree. I don't understand how people can be against the death penalty, but still understand the need for the police and military to use lethal force.
