2 Thessalonians 3:1-2 (KJV)
Finally, brethren, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may have free course, and be glorified, even as it is with you:And that we may be delivered from unreasonable and wicked men: for all men have not faith.

Some time ago, while studying the book of Ephesians, I came to chapter six and verse ten. “Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might.” The passage goes on to describe the whole armor of God. I concluded that the word, finally, did not mean he was finally finished, as in “last thought”. Finally meant he had, at last, arrived at the point of his letter – the key, the crescendo. Everything Paul said before Ephesians 6:10 was intended to prepare us for what he said after Ephesians 6:10.

I don’t believe the “finally” of this verse has the same import as that verse, but maybe it would not hurt for Christians to think that way a bit.

We don’t put as much emphasis on praying for our pastors as we ought. The work they do is the most eternally important work in this world. The devil has planted plenty of adversaries in the path of the preacher and his anointing and ability to accomplish his work in the power of the Holy Spirit and not the flesh is critical.

Pray for your preacher like it is the most important thing you could ever pray for!
