My husband is the Head of the Ministry and if the enemy can get him off course, then so goes the rest of us ie: lay-members, children ,elders, and last but not least: ME.
Prayer is V-I-T-A-L to the success of a ministry and to the health and well-being of the Pastor. As First Ladies one of our primary goals is interceding for our spouses. No-one should spend more time praying for him than you. Intercessory prayer at the church is good, and needed, but I'm talking about some "face-down" prayer in your own special prayer time specifically for HIM.
I believe that along with your personal prayer list for others , you should also have a prayer list, designed for the individual needs of your spouse/husband. God has designed for you to be a help-meet for him. We are DESIGNED to meet his needs in every way, and in so doing, offer help as needed.
Our spouses are God's design, he knows him...inside and out, and so should you. We are equipped with discernment and wisdom to go to the throne room on their behalf's, cutting the enemy off at the pass, covering him with the Blood of Jesus and our effectual, and fervent prayers.
For years, I didn't understand how to effectively pray for my Man Of God. I let things that I saw in him, drive me to criticizing him and questioning his call.....Ridiculous!
Ladies...We must recognize the enemy, and drive him away with our prayers and confessions.
make praying for your Man of God TOP PRIORITY.....and watch God move Mightily in your ministry.
(side note) : if you are at odds and unsure of how to effectively pray for your Pastor, try praying the WORD...it always works, and will never return void..Put it out There!!
This prayer can be personalized by saying his name instead of the word pastor.
