A Prayer Challenge For All Christians

I was on Slaughter of the Sheep and I came across an article which Chrystal had linked to over at Until Jesus Comes, a blog written by Heidi Swander. The original article, written by Jack Kinsella, was a good one, and I linked to it, so you can read it.

However, Heidi had posted a new article, which she titled "Pray For Your Pastor! Don't Quit!".

Heidi's words are much more eloquent than mine, but the message needs to get out. We must continually pray for our leaders, because as her post states, there are "prayers" being directed to the devil for the destruction of Christian pastors and the churches they lead.

I am issuing a prayer challenge to all those who are depending on the Lord Jesus Christ for their salvation.

The Church of Satan has set aside the 6 pm hour (WORLDWIDE) to pray for the demise of the Christian church, and especially our pastors.

We must lift our shepherds up in prayer, all day every day. So, the prayer challenge? During the 7 pm hour (no matter where you are), pray for Christ's church, and the leaders He has placed into authority roles. Pray that these men remain Biblically sound, that their faith remain strong, that their strength be renewed as they take on the important task of feeding the Word to each of us, and that their own lives reflect their time spent with Him. This is important. If the body of our enemy can unite to come against us, then we can unite to build up our pastors and the body.

Please send Heidi's post, as well as this blog post from me via email, MySpace, Facebook, and any other type of social media. Get this message out there. We need a worldwide prayer movement for our pastors, who are under constant spiritual attack.
