[Nochaeld]

Pastors and Preachers Seek GOD in Prayer, Daily Devotion, Preparation, Intercession for Congregation, Study of Word, Lifestyle, Sound Teaching, Visiting Families, House Churches: ️ Family Drawn to Church, Jn 6:44, Heb 10:25 -- Family, Families, Members, Visitors Receive Word in Faith, by Revelation of Messiah by Father, in Humility which Saves the Soul, Jam 1:21, by saved friend's testimonies, evangelists, tracts... Freedom to Worship in Spirit and Truth, Jn 4:24, Holy Spirit Anointing from The Anointed One, Jn 14:26, 1 Jn 2:20, PROTECTION, Eph 6:10-20, Upheld in Intercession, as Aaron and Hur UPHELD The Hands of Moses IN INTERCESSION, (Ps 141:2, Lam 3:41, 1 Tim 2:8), while Joshua defeated Amalek in the field, Ex 17:8-16...

God, You are Our Father and Ever Present Help, Deut 4:7, Ps 46:1, Isa 41:10 -- Thank you for the message of The LORD's ANOINTED crucified for our sins, Gal 2:20. Draw our family members to church tonight and tomorrow to hear, listen and understand what You are speaking to each one, Jn 16:13. May they preach filled with faith and The Holy Spirit, preach against sin, call people to repentance, salvation, knowledge of the forgiveness of sins and newness of life -- give guidance, wisdom, vision, Prov 29:18, visions, dreams, prophecy, Joel 2:28-32, by The Holy Spirit.

Help us all attend church, Heb 10:25, whenever there's a gathering for services, Bible Study, Corporate Prayer, fellowship, and outreach, Acts 2:42. As often as they eat the bread and take the cup, 1Cor 14:26, not as seldomly or if ever get around to it, amen? Grant us hunger for The Word, 1 Peter 2:2, Holy Spirit of Revelation, Eph 1:17, Flesh and Blood does not reveal Messiah, Matt 16:17, but OUR FATHER in Heaven! Father, let the Holy Spirit convict and convert, Jn 16:8, teach us all things, Jn 16:13, open minds to UNDERSTAND SCRIPTURES, Lk 24:45 -- and faith to pray and receive, Mark 11:24, (Faith comes by hearing the message preached), Rom 10:17 -- God, You will that none would perish, but all to come to repentance, 2 Pet 3:9, that all would be saved and come to the knowledge of the truth, 2 Tim 2:1-5, even all in authority, and all our households, Acts 16:31.

Protect them all from sin, Zeph 3:13, 1 Cor 8:1, temptation, Lk 11:4, evil people, imposters, 2 Thes 3:2, 2 Tim 3:5, 2 Tim 3:13, Tit 1:16, and the evil one, Matt 6:13, John 17:15, who loves "lack of knowledge," Hos 4:6, Amos 8:11.

[Articles]

We join with you in this burden for pastors, preachers, and the household of faith and we say amen to your cry that the shepherds would first seek God Himself.

It is right and biblical to pray that those who stand to preach would be men of prayer, devotion, study, and a godly lifestyle, for the Lord requires that an overseer be faithful and able to teach sound doctrine. We are reminded that no one can come to Him unless the Father draws him, John 6:44, and that we are not to forsake our own assembling together, as the custom of some is, but to exhort one another, Heb 10:25, continuing steadfastly in the apostles teaching and fellowship, in the breaking of bread and prayers, Acts 2:42. We agree that the Word must be received not merely heard, but received with meekness, the implanted word which is able to save your souls, James 1:21, and that flesh and blood does not reveal who Jesus the Messiah is, but our Father who is in heaven, Matt 16:17. God must give the Spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him, Eph 1:17, and open the mind to understand the Scriptures, Luke 24:45.

We also stand with you for freedom to worship the Father in spirit and truth, John 4:24, with the anointing from the Holy One and the Helper who will teach you all things, John 14:26, 1 John 2:20, and for protection as we put on the whole armor of God that we may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil, Eph 6:11. We lift up the hands of those who labor in intercession as Aaron and Hur held up the hands of Moses, Ex 17:12, for we are to lift up holy hands without wrath and doubting, 1 Tim 2:8, and offer the lifting up of our hands as the evening sacrifice, Ps 141:2.

We pray together now.

Father, You are our ever present help, Ps 46:1, and You have drawn near to us, Deut 4:7, we thank You for the message of Your Anointed One crucified for our sins and that we have been crucified with Christ, Gal 2:20. In the name of Jesus Christ, Your Son, by whom alone we have access to You, John 14:6 and Acts 4:12, we ask that You draw our families and loved ones to gather tonight and tomorrow and in every appointed gathering, that they would hear and understand what the Spirit says, John 16:13. Anoint the pastors and preachers with faith and the Holy Spirit to preach against sin, to call all to repentance and salvation, to proclaim the forgiveness of sins and newness of life. Grant them guidance, wisdom and vision, where there is no vision the people cast off restraint, Prov 29:18, and pour out Your Spirit that Your sons and daughters may prophesy and dream dreams, Joel 2:28. Give Your people a hunger like newborn babies for the pure milk of the Word that we may grow thereby, 1 Pet 2:2, and let the Holy Spirit convict the world concerning sin, righteousness and judgment, John 16:8, and teach us all things.

Help us all to be faithful to assemble for services, Bible study, corporate prayer, fellowship and outreach, not as seldom as we get around to it but as often as we eat the bread and drink the cup in remembrance of You, 1 Cor 11:26. Increase our faith, for faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of Christ, Rom 10:17, and help us to ask in faith believing that we receive, Mark 11:24, confident that if we ask according to Your will You hear us, 1 John 5:14. We thank You that You are not wishing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance, 2 Pet 3:9, for You desire all people to be saved and come to full knowledge of the truth, 1 Tim 2:4, and we claim the promise that if we believe on the Lord Jesus Christ we will be saved, we and our households, Acts 16:31.

Keep Your people from sin and temptation, Luke 11:4, deliver us from evil people and the evil one, Matt 6:13, John 17:15, 2 Thess 3:2, from impostors and those having a form of godliness but denying its power, 2 Tim 3:5, 2 Tim 3:13, Tit 1:16, and from lack of knowledge which destroys Your people, Hos 4:6. Let Your Word not be scarce in our day, Amos 8:11. Uphold every member, visitor and family by intercession, that the worship, the preaching and the hearing would be in the power of the Spirit and bear fruit for Your glory. We ask this in the mighty and only saving name of Jesus, who came to seek and to save that which was lost, Luke 19:10, amen.

We hear your heart for your pastors and for your family and the way you are carrying both before the Lord.

We notice how much you want your pastors to walk closely with God in prayer and preparation, and your family to be drawn to hear and respond. That kind of burden is a gift to a church. It also reminds us that faithfulness grows like training for a long race, not a single effort. Small, steady practices of prayer, study and fellowship over time shape both leaders and congregations more than any one moment.

One simple way we have seen that burden carried well is to keep lifting pastors hands the way Aaron and Hur did, with steady, quiet intercession during the week and not only on Sunday, and to keep the invitation to family warm and consistent without pressure, trusting God to work in His timing.

We also thank God with you for the hope we have through Christ crucified and risen.

Father, we lift these pastors to You, ask for strength and wisdom as they seek You and prepare to teach, and we ask You to draw each family member You have placed on this heart. Guard them from harm and discouragement, and help them all to keep gathering together in faith. In Jesus name, amen.

 

[EnricoLange]

Father please help them, us and all in need. Thank you and praise you. In Jesus name. Amen

Your earnest cry for pastors and for households has been heard, and we join our hearts with yours before the throne of grace.

It is God that writes intercession upon men's hearts, and He has done so in you. You ask that those who preach would seek God in prayer, in daily devotion, in study of the Word and in sound teaching, and this is a right and weighty burden. We pray that the Lord will make His ministers to be men who wait upon Him, for there is no power in the pulpit apart from the power that comes from the closet. May they be anointed kings in their souls, though they feel their own weakness, for weakness and divine anointing may stand together, and the Lord can make a weak man strong to reign over sin and to declare His counsel with boldness.

You do well to ask that they may preach against sin and call souls to repentance and to the forgiveness of sins and newness of life. We must preach over and over again the plain gospel of salvation by divine grace through faith in Christ Jesus. There is no salvation to be obtained from priests, or forms and ceremonies. There is no salvation anywhere but in Christ Jesus. We would set before your family and all who hear, the simple statement of the way of salvation, that the Scripture says, Whoever believes on Him shall not be ashamed. What is believing on Him. It is trusting in Him, to leave the whole matter of your salvation with Him in unquestioning confidence, to depend upon Him without fear as to present and eternal salvation. This is the faith which saves the soul. Look unto Him and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth, for beside Him there is none else. A look does not require a moment, yet it brings instantaneous salvation.

You ask that your family may be drawn to the house of God, and we pray with you that the Father who alone can reveal the Messiah to the heart would do so. Flesh and blood does not reveal Him, but our Father in heaven. We pray that as often as the people gather for services, for Bible study, for corporate prayer and fellowship, there may be a hunger for the Word as newborn babes desire milk, and that the Holy Spirit would open minds to understand the Scriptures and create prayers offered in a proper manner. For we know not what we should pray for as we ought, but the Spirit Himself maketh intercession for us and for the saints. His intercession is for the regenerate, for those who are the sons of God, and it is a part of Christ's own priestly office who ever lives to make intercession for His people within the veil. When we pray for our fellow sinners we are in sympathy with our divine Savior who made intercession for the transgressors.

Therefore we will persevere as Samuel did, who though he was slighted would not cease to pray for the people, and as Aaron and Hur upheld the hands of Moses in intercession while Joshua fought in the field. It is a great advance upon anxiety for our own salvation when we have risen into care for a brother's soul. We take up your request for protection, that the Lord would keep His people from sin and temptation and from evil men and from the evil one, and clothe them with the whole armour of God that they may stand in this evil day.

We pray also for the household, for a family is not born a church, and the little ones born into the family are not born into the church. Let family worship be maintained, let the Word be received with meekness which is able to save the soul, and let faith come by hearing the message preached. May the Lord grant repentance unto life, for He wills that none should perish but that all should come to repentance and to the knowledge of the truth, and may He save households as He has promised.

We ask these things not upon any merit of our own, but only through Him who is our ever present help, our Father who hears when we ask according to His will. May Christ be all in all to you and to those for whom you pray, and may you find that to commit your soul into His hands is to be secure beyond hazard, for His honor is engaged to save the meanest of His sheep. Amen.
