We must hold up our pastors!

Church we need to hold up our spiritual leaders for the days ahead. Our Pastors, teachers, councilors, youth leaders, etc... need to be held up and strengthened in Prayer. (But Moses' hands were heavy; and they took a stone, and put it under him, and he sat thereon; and Aaron and Hur stayed up his hands, the one on the one side, and the other on the other side; and his hands were steady until the going down of the sun.) The persecution to come will attack our leaders first. We must pray for a fresh anointing for our leaders, for power, wisdom, and discernment. (Matt 24; 8 All these are the beginning of sorrows. 9 Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake. 10 And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another. 11 And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many. 12 And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold. 13 But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.) We must respond to these attacks will love. We must not rail against those who would attack us. We must say "this is right and that is wrong" and "the Bible says _______ thus says the Lord". But we must do it in love not anger. Our words will burn in their ears if done in love, but if it is done in anger it will be just like yelling at a wall. I cannot stress enough how important it is for us to respond with love and prayer. Matt 5; 44 But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;

God bless you all!
