Last Spring I went with some people from church to see the movie War Room and fell in love with it. This Summer I bought the book War Room and the DVD. I am still working on reading the book, but have watched the DVD several times. This movies has a great message. If you have yet to see it you really need to.
There is a part of the movie that sticks out to me. Well there are several, but this one is at the top. It is in the movie that Elizabeth was in her War Room praying for her husband and she keeps repeating James 4:7 "Submit yourself to the Lord, resist the devil and he will flee." Then Elizabeth goes around her house talking to the Devil and telling him that he is not welcome in her life, marriage, lives of her family, and her home.
That got me to thinking. I wrote this verse down in my prayer journal and I began to think on it. If we as Christians would submit our lives or our problems over to God and resist the devil's control then God will fight the battle. The devil will move on.
For example if I am having an issue at work then I need to stop, pray about it, give it over to God, and let God take control. He will do what only he can do. That is fight the battle for you. He will win the battle for you.
When you pray I suggest that you talk to God like he is right in the room with you. Then you continue with what you want from him and he will do the rest. It is easy to do.
Here is an example of what I am talking about.
Hello Jesus, I know you are here. I want to thank you for another day on this earth. I want to thank you for all your blessings to me. Jesus I submit to you my life. my job, my family, my church. So many things are going on. I submit them to you. I ask you to work in each area for your will. Jesus help me to follow you and do what you want me to do in each area of my life. Jesus I give it to you. I know you are already at work doing only what you can do. Thank you Jesus. Amen!
If you pray like that you are going to see things happen. God is going to speak to you in ways that you will never expect. You will see mountains moved and good things happen in your life. God is on the move if you know how to pray in a way that will let God fight the battle for you.
Prayer is stratage. You need to use it to fight your battles so that you can let God fight for you. You have got to pray and then get out of the way. Then God will do what only he can do. That is fight the battle for you.
You are going to see big changes when you submit to God and resist the devil. Doors are going to open for you like never before. Your life will change. The devil is going to flee. My Great-Aunt use to say that if you submit to God and resist the devil that the devil is going to be afraid of you when he sees you cause he knows you have God on your side.
So I encourage you to change your prayer life. Get on fire in prayer for the Lord. Change the way you pray. You are going to see huge results like never before. You are going to love it.
