Church members should pray for their pastors because pastors are still prime targets of the devil. There is evidence that Satanists today pray to the devil for the destruction of pastor's families. Thus, pastors need extra protection. Church members should pray for their pastors because pastor's job requires supernatural power. He is to preach the Word but without the illumination of the Holy Spirit, he can not understand Scripture nor can he communicate with power.
Vague prayer is the death of prayer.
Pray for him, his wife and his children by name. Pray that he will see himself not as peace-time businessman, but as leader of a wartime guerrilla band engaged in spiritual combat. Men and women are blind. In your individual private devotions, pray that your pastor will have consistent individual private time with the Lord each day. In your family prayers, pray that your pastor will have consistent meaningful prayer with his family.
