From the Desk of James W. Goll

This is the second time in PrayerStorm that we have focused on Praying for Your Pastor as a means of bringing about and sustaining Revival in the Church. The scriptures teach us that we should “pray for our leaders.” So we again want to lift up a prayer shield for our spiritual leaders.

This is not just a prayer assignment for one hour on one day only this week, but is a priority as “watchmen on the walls”. We encourage you to download and listen to the very practical MP3 message we have reposted on Praying for Your Pastor!

You can adapt your prayers for any of your spiritual leaders whether they be apostles or prophets, congregational pastors, a small group leader, trans-local or marketplace leaders. But let’s be also be true to this week’s emphasis again and pray for our “pastors”.

Please note that we have a great special available through our EN Online Resource Center.  With any purchase, you receive a free copy of our book Angelic Encounters for the months of November and December. This book will make a great Christmas present – so take advantage of this free offer today. You can order the PrayerStorm Intensive – The Fire Must Burn CD set for $29 if you were unable to attend this recent event.

Let's lift up our pastors and spiritual leaders this week!

WHY PRAY FOR YOUR PASTOR?

• Because his victories are (your) the church’s victories.  “When Moses held up his hand (in prayer), Israel prevailed; and when he let down his hand, Amalek prevailed” (Ex. 17:11).
  
  
• Because God’s people are captive to godless forces.  Daniel (9:1-23) interceded.  “We have sinned and done wrong, and acted wickedly, and rebelled, and turned aside from your commandments” (9:5).
  
  
• Because God’s people don’t know what to do. “Unto us confusion of faces” (v. 7, KJV).
  
  
• Because the enemy plots to discourage and destroy church leaders,  “For the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous, and His ears are open to their prayers; but the face of the Lord is against those who do evil” (I Peter. 3:12).
  
  
• Because sheep are dumb, i.e., hurtful, ungrateful, critical, inordinate expectations, etc. “I pray the eyes of my pastor may be enlightened to know the hope of his calling, the glory of his inheritance among the saints, and the exceeding greatness of Christ’s power” (Eph. 1:18-19, ELT).
  
  
• Because he needs to preach in the energy and anointing of the Holy Spirit to change lives” (Luke 4:1, 14, 18).
  
  
• Because lost souls are saved through his ministry.  “I (God) sought for a man among them that should . . . stand in the gap before Me” (Ez. 22:30).
  
  
• Because he needs rich times of Bible study and prayer. “We (apostles) will give ourselves to prayer and the ministry of the word” (Acts 6:4).
  
  
• Because of heavy burdens.  “Beside . . . that which cometh upon me daily, the care of all the churches” (Acts 11:28).
  
  
• Because he needs to discipline his time and make good leadership decisions.
  
  
• Because he needs to be a good husband and father.
  
  
• Because he needs to be holy, healthy, and wise.
  
  
• Because you help bear his burdens, “Bear one another’s burdens” (Gal. 6:2).

Goll - Praying for Your Pastor “Effective long term revival depends up the prayer of believers for their spiritual leaders – especially their pastors.  I have been a local church man all my life and I want to always hold up the hands of my spiritual leaders.  The scriptures teach - “strike the shepherd and the sheep will scatter.”  It is one of the greatest tools of the enemy to create division and disillusionment in the body of Christ.  Therefore, let us be proactive and learn to pray for our leaders and ward off the enemies attacks in Jesus Name!” Click to Play or download: PrayerStorm The Vision of PrayerStorm is to restore and release the Moravian model of the watch of the Lord into homes and prayer rooms around the world.
