Our Pastor left taking most of the congregation

The ten or so of us that are left need lots of prayer. Satan is bound and determined to close this church but we are hanging in there praying for a miracle and a good Pastor.

This town is inundated with witchcraft and satan has had a stronghold for too long. We are at war here and need reinforcements and prayer.

Thanks for praying,
Barb

Lord Jesus
I pray for this church
lord let it be centered on you
I have no idea where this witchcraft is coming from
and why it was present in this church.
Lord I pray that each person surrender their life to you
and publically proclaim you as Savior and Lord
I pray they dedicate every nook and cranny to you
and cast Satan out of every closet commanding
his demons gone from their place of worship.
Lord bless this place as it rededicates itself to you
In Jesus Name
Amen

YIKES!

Dear Lord,
Thank You for blessing our church with a pastor who loves You and is shepherd to Your flock. Please burden a deacon or other man within the congregation of Nucreation's church to take the helm during this rough time. Please guide this church and draw them closer to You. Please send an angel to watch over them and light their path. Please wrap your loving arms aroud each and every member and burden them to go forth and make disciples of their neighbors. Please give them the strength to share Your Word with those who are lost and delusioned by the occult. Thank You, Lord, for You unfailing love and Your faithfulness to us. Thank You for the opportunity to be a witness to others who do not yet know You! You are awesome in this place, Mighty God. In Jesus' Name I Pray. Amen.

Amen. Lord send Spirit filled warriors and angels into this church in their time of need. I pray also for those who have left- give them the wisdom to know God's will for their lives. In Jesus name and i pray that they are obediant to their calling and God's will for their lives. In Jesus Holy name.

The church I am currently in had 13 members when they were going to close. If I remember the testimony right my pastor told God if there are new people today they would keep it open. There was. Then the next sunday there were more. And More and more. Now we are a major apostolic/prophetic church.

The enemy knows your destiny. The holy spirit teaches all things. You can depend on Him to guide youthru this. Are you covered by anyone that can help? In relationship with other churches in other areas? In such a small church every member counts. Everyone has to pull their wieght. Was the pastor that left covered in prayer? We are to pray for our leaders. You must find out what is causing the pastors to up and leave. Division is not pretty. If it was a legit leaving then go on FORGIVE and keep on going. The enemy wants nothing better then for you to quit. One less church for him to deal with.

Bond with the members that are left. Do you have a vision statement? so that the pastor that comes knows the visions of the church or do you just want someone...anyone to take over?

Lord fix this Your way in Jesus name amen

Your pastor left taking the majority of the congregation, why? What was happening between the ten left and the pastor that he left? Can you please elaborate?

Father, we know the spirit of God has left many of Your "so called churches", and they operate by man's traditions, etc. You know this entire situation and who and what is behind the division. Father, we pray that the sincere Christians bind together, staying and praying together against the evils of darkness. Raise these men and women up to be a voice in the wilderness, leading many to salvation through Jesus Christ. Stengthen Your people and give them supernatural wisdom, knowledge and understanding to know the times they live in and how to witness to the people in their area. Give them supernatural courage and protection as they stand against the Satan and honor You. In Jesus' Name, amen.
