War Room

Recently I saw a trailer for a new Christian movie coming out on August 28th called War Room and it got me to thinking. In the trailer this older lady was in a room praying our loud to God in such a way that it was like she was doing battle with the devil.

That reminded me of my Great-Aunt Virginia. She was always one to be praying. She would always tell me that if I had a problem that I needed to take it to God. She was always getting answers to her prayers. She had a strong faith in God.

Then I got to thinking that maybe we all needed to have a prayer room or as the movie calls it a War Room. This would be a place that we can go to to talk to God and fight our battle with the devil in our lives.

So often I encounter people that say that they are Christians, but they don't practice what they preach. They preach prayer, but they don't pray. My friend Mandy told me that when you pray you need to talk to God like he is right there with you. Talk to him like he is your friend. She says that she starts each day by saying Good Morning God and ends each day with Good Night God. I think that this is a great idea.

I feel that so many of us have lost God. Many churches have lost God. We need to get back to fighting our battles with prayer and get God back in our lives. We need to focus on the power of the cross and the power of prayer.

I have seen the power of prayer at work in my life. Prayer can do great things if we believe in its power. We need not take it lightly.

So I challenge you to set aside a place that you can make your prayer room or War Room. Get down on your knees and talk to God like he is right there with you. Talk to God with conviction. Tell him what you want to happen. Then step back and he will do the rest. Then you will see mighty things happen. With God on our sides the devil would run in fear.

Perfect love cast out fear. Prayer does much. It is the key to fighting and winning the battle with the devil.
