Pastors and Preachers Seek GOD in Prayer, Daily Devotion, Preparation, Intercession for Congregation, Study of Word, Lifestyle, Confront Sin in Church, Sound Teaching, Visiting Families, House Churches, Confront Sin in The Church, Lev 19:17, Matt 18:15-17, 1 Tim 5:20, Heb 13:17, James : 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 Amelek 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. The people who were blind receive sight, people who limped walk, people with leprosy are cleansed and people who were deaf hear, dead people are raised up, and people who are poor have the gospel preached to them, Lk 7:22. Draw our family members to church whenever people assemble, even 2-3, Matt 18:19-20, to hear, listen and understand what You are speaking to each one, Jn 16:13. Grant faith, repentance, salvation, knowledge of the forgiveness of sins and newness of life -- give vision, Prov 29:18, by The Holy Spirit. 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.

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.

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. When we ask You hear and if You hear, we have, 1 Jn5:14-14, so SEEK and SAVE the LOST, Lk 19:10, in Jesus' Name, Amen, 2 Cor 1:20.

 

[Articles]

We join you in this deep burden for pastors, preachers, and the household of faith, and we count it a privilege to seek the Lord together with you in Jesus' name.

We are greatly encouraged by your heart for godly shepherds who seek God in prayer and daily devotion, who prepare and intercede for the congregation, who study the Word, live holy lives, and faithfully confront sin. This is the biblical calling of an overseer. We are reminded that they watch in behalf of our souls, as those who will give account, that they may do this with joy and not with groaning, Hebrews 13:17. And Scripture is clear that those who sin are to be reproved in the sight of all, that the rest also may be in fear, 1 Timothy 5:20, yet always with the restoration pattern of first going privately, then with witnesses, then telling the church, Matthew 18:15-17, and not hating a brother in our heart but surely rebuking our neighbor and not bearing sin because of him, Leviticus 19:17. We pray for a generation of pastors who will not shrink back from this loving correction, who will preach sound teaching, visit families and house churches, and walk in holiness before the flock.

We also join you in praying for families, members and visitors to be drawn to the assembly. Jesus said, No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him, John 6:44, and we are exhorted not forsaking our own assembling together, as the custom of some is, but exhorting one another, and so much the more as you see the Day approaching, Hebrews 10:25. We pray that all who hear would receive with humility the implanted word, which is able to save your souls, James 1:21, not merely as words of men but by revelation of the Father, for flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but our Father who is in heaven, Matthew 16:17. We pray for freedom to worship God in spirit and truth, John 4:24, with the anointing of the Holy Spirit who teaches us all things, John 14:26, for you have an anointing from the Holy One, and you all have knowledge, 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, Ephesians 6:11.

We lift up pastors and families to our Father who is our ever present help. God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble, Psalm 46:1, and He has said, Don't be afraid, for I am with you. Don't be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you. Yes, I will help you, Isaiah 41:10. We thank Him for the message of His Anointed crucified for our sins, for we have been crucified with Christ, Galatians 2:20, and for the power of the gospel still today where the blind receive their sight, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, and the poor have good news preached to them, Luke 7:22.

Father, in the name of Jesus Christ, we ask You to draw our family members to gather together whenever two or three are gathered in Your name, for where two or three are gathered together in my name, there I am in the middle of them, Matthew 18:20, to hear and understand what Your Spirit is saying, for when he, the Spirit of truth, has come, he will guide you into all truth, John 16:13. Grant hunger for Your Word as newborn babies, long for the pure milk of the Word, that you may grow thereby, 1 Peter 2:2, and grant the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him, Ephesians 1:17. Open minds to understand the Scriptures, Luke 24:45, and convict the world about sin, about righteousness, and about judgment, John 16:8, bringing faith and repentance and the knowledge of the forgiveness of sins and newness of life. Where there is no vision, the people cast off restraint, Proverbs 29:18, so give vision by Your Holy Spirit. Protect them from sin and temptation, from evil people and impostors, 2 Timothy 3:13, and from the evil one, for You are faithful, who will establish and guard from the evil one, 2 Thessalonians 3:3, and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one, Matthew 6:13, for You desire that none would perish, but that all should come to repentance, 2 Peter 3:9, who desires all people to be saved and come to full knowledge of the truth, 1 Timothy 2:4.

We pray that we would be faithful to attend the assembly for services, Bible study, corporate prayer, fellowship and outreach, continuing steadfastly in the apostles teaching and fellowship, in the breaking of bread, and prayer, Acts 2:42, and that we would uphold our leaders in intercession as Aaron and Hur held up the hands of Moses while Joshua defeated Amalek in the field, Exodus 17:8-16, lifting up holy hands without wrath and doubting, 1 Timothy 2:8, that our prayer may be set before You like incense, Psalm 141:2. Let us lift up our heart with our hands to God in the heavens, Lamentations 3:41.

We ask all this believing that if we ask anything according to Your will, You hear us, 1 John 5:14, and that faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of Christ, Romans 10:17. Seek and save the lost, Luke 19:10, and let every household believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and be saved, Acts 16:31, for there is no other name under heaven by which we must be saved except Jesus Christ. We thank You that You hear us and we have what we have asked of You, and we pray this in the mighty and saving name of Jesus, Amen.

Thank you for bringing such a faithful burden before the Lord. Your love for pastors who carry the Word and for families to find a home in fellowship comes through clearly, and we are grateful to stand with you in it.

We hear how much you want to see pastors strengthened in prayer and preparation, and families experiencing real worship and protection from what would pull them away. That kind of growth and renewal is often gradual, almost quiet, happening over time as people stay close to the Word, to prayer, and to worship together. It is not a quick fix but a lifelong walk, with the Holy Spirit gently forming each person in his own way, and with the encouragement of gathering with other believers.

One simple way to keep carrying this is to continue lifting a pastor or church leader by name each time you pray, and to keep a warm, open invitation for family to join you whenever the church gathers, whether for service, study or fellowship, trusting God to work in hearts as they hear.

Father, we thank You for being our ever present help. We lift these pastors and preachers to You, asking for refreshment and steadiness as they seek You and care for others. Draw families closer to You and to Your people, guard them from harm and give them hunger for Your truth. Build up Your church in love and unity. In Jesus name, amen.

Praying in Jesus Name.

 

[Spurgeon]

We have heard your earnest supplication and we join our hearts with yours before the throne of grace, for it is God that writes intercession upon men's hearts and moves His people to pray.

You have asked that pastors and preachers might seek the Lord in prayer, in daily devotion, in preparation and in study of the Word, that they might live holy lives and with love and truth confront sin in the church according to Lev 19:17 and Matt 18:15-17, and that they might watch for souls as those that must give account. This is a right and needful prayer. We beseech the Lord to raise up faithful men who will preach over and over again the plain Gospel of salvation by divine grace through faith in Christ Jesus, not trusting in priests or forms and ceremonies, but setting forth Christ crucified as the only foundation laid in Zion. May the Holy Spirit anoint their lips, for we know not what we should pray for as we ought, and the Spirit Himself maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God, and our great High Priest within the veil ever liveth to make intercession for His people.

You have prayed also for families, that they might be drawn to the assembly of the saints and hear the Word in faith and humility. We join you in this, remembering that household salvation is a precious mercy when the Lord calls an individual and then uses him as a means to bring the rest of the family into the gospel net. Yet we must ever remember that there is no salvation to be obtained but in Christ Jesus alone. The Scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on Him shall not be ashamed. Faith is not belief about a doctrine only, but trusting in a Person, looking unto Him and being saved, all the ends of the earth. It is a look, and that look does not require a moment, yet it brings instantaneous and irreversible salvation to the meanest of His sheep when the soul commits itself into His hands in unquestioning confidence. Flesh and blood revealeth not this, but our Father which is in heaven, and He will that none should perish but that all should come to repentance through that one way.

Therefore we pray that the Lord will grant to your loved ones and to all who come under the sound of the Word, hunger for the sincere milk of the Word, repentance toward God and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ, newness of life and deliverance from the power of sin, for salvation that does not deliver from sin is not salvation at all. We pray that homes may be ordered according to God's good and holy design, where marriage is honoured as the lifelong covenant of one man and one woman, and where purity is kept within its sacred bounds, and where parents and children walk together in the fear of the Lord. We pray for freedom to worship in spirit and in truth, for protection by the whole armour of God in Ephesians 6, for keeping from temptation, from evil persons and from the evil one, and for that true understanding of the Scriptures which the Lord alone can open, as He opened the minds of His disciples.

May the Lord uphold all who intercede, as Aaron and Hur upheld the hands of Moses, while the battle is fought in the field. May He give grace to forsake every refuge of lies and to come to Jesus, for there is none else beside Him. We commend you and your household and your church to Him who is our ever present help, praying that as often as you gather, whether two or three, you may find Christ in the midst, and that you may be found faithful until He comes. In the name of Jesus Christ, our only salvation, Amen.
