Description
If spiritual leaders are not prayed for, they will be preyed on by a host of destructive forces. Look at the battles that a pastor must face and how your prayers can make a difference in his or her life and ministry.
In Preyed On or Prayed For, you’ll grasp the characteristics and fears that most pastors share. You’ll also learn about the lives of pastors in the New Testament and compare to the challenges that today’s pastors face. This book outlines a practical plan for building a prayer hedge around your pastor with a wealth of sample prayers and practical ideas. It makes praying for your pastor simple and effective.
In 1993 we began to organize prayer seminars. I found, in many churches, that the pastors were often preyed on by friendly fire and enemy attacks. These pastors also carried the many stresses of being a local church pastor. Quite often, they were not prayed for because people expected the pastor to pray for them. At that time, there were no books written on the importance of praying for the leaders of the church or teaching how to pray for the pastor. We decided to write the book Preyed On or Prayed For.
I am happy to say that since we published this book, many pastors now have people who consistently hedge them in prayer.
This book is great for individual or group study. It contains thought-provoking questions and explains why praying for our pastors honors God and invites His blessing.
