 If you want to be blessed by the word of God in the House of God then Give Thanks for your Pastor and then Pray for your Pastor!

Before you begin prayer for your Pastor think over the past while and repent of any negative words you have listened to or spoken about your pastor.  Be very careful raising a hand against God's anointed!

Each of these areas are a series on their own.

1.          Pastors have more responsibility and Accountability

James 3:1-3

My brethren, let not many of you become teachers, knowing that we shall receive a stricter judgment. 2 For we all stumble in many things. If anyone does not stumble in word, he is a perfect man, able also to bridle the whole body. 3 Indeed, we put bits in horses' mouths that they may obey us, and we turn their whole body.

2.        Pastors are more subject to temptation. Pastors are temped with greed power and pride. Many Pastors are exposed in a massive way very public in these areas.  Know that we need to pray that they are not led into temptation.

3.        Pastors are more targeted by Spiritual Warfare

If you are in a Church that is moving forward with Jesus Christ’s purposes, then your pastor is being targeted by incantations, rituals, and many other powers to have failed marriages because that one thing will destroy his ministry and thus stop the move of God.

4.        Pastors have more influence on others. 

Satan does not want Pastors to be effective in counseling or in leading.
 

5.          Pastors have more visibility

Pastors when they fall are seen in the streets, the city, and the nation and today in the world. This doesn’t just affect one church but thousands of churches.

Of you don't know how to pray for Pastors try using the Scripture  1 Timothy 3 is a good place to start
