1 WAR ROOM (prayer room)? Bible general justme 243058
  The movie WAR ROOM is an excellent tool for encouraging personal prayer. I personally have taken steps to reach out to family and friends to make a prayer room. I wonder where do you go to be in a special place to regularly pray? If so would you mind sharing it. I do not consider sharing a point of braging, but so we each might think of better ways to pray.

Have you found a special book besides the Bible that encourages prayer?
2 WAR ROOM (prayer room)? Bible general DocTrinsograce 243059
  Hi, Justme...

The movie tended to look at prayer as a means to an end. A method of insuring that God would respond to you. An aspect that I deem is nothing other than superstitious. I remember when the movie by Mel Gibson came out called "The Passion of Christ." Everyone said, this will lead people to Christ! I have not met a single new believer from that movie that simply encouraged Romanists errant perspectives of Christ's crucifixion. It is also like the movies about a near death encounter or the Left Behind series. These were supposed to be mechanisms that draw people to faith in Christ. Again, no fruit, just superstition. We shouldn't be surprised because the Word does not say that plays, or novels, or other things are the means of Grace. It only says that the Word is the Means of Grace (Romans 10:17). Getting excited about this kind of thing is like running to and fro when people say "Here is the Christ" or "There He is!" We can clearly see them as faulty by the fruit that they fail to bring forth.

3 WAR ROOM (prayer room)? Bible general justme 243068
  Doc; I guess in the area I live in there are people who are very less unreligious. In fact I would say starving spiritually.

I have known of several people who came to the Lord because of the Left Behind books, and I can't understand that at all. However the Gods Not dead 2 has been a enticement for several people to challenge their prayer life. I for one never gave much thought to writing my prayers, and I have started doing that, as well as making a prayer room. My wife and felt we wanted to get very serious about our prayer life. I know what you say about the movie is pretty much true.

Prayer has and is often neglected to a very serious spiritual illness situation. In most of my ministry I have seen people who struggle with prayer. So my hope is the movie will get Christians will at least give thought about their prayer relationship with the Holy father.

4 WAR ROOM (prayer room)? Bible general DocTrinsograce 243069
  Dear Justme,

That is a very great blessing for our Lord to use such things. If He can use the donkey of Balaam, He can make use of other things of the same sort, we do not doubt.

I particularly am uncomfortable with images made of Christ, which we deem is a violation of the second commandment.

If you want to read an excellent book on prayer, one of the best is by Martin Luther. A very simple and very devotional book entitled, "A Simple Way to Pray." It can be found free online. It will be utterly different than the method advocated in the movie War Room. However, at the same time, it will be perfectly in line with how we are commanded to pray in the Word. That is crucial, lest we approach Him in the unsanctified fashion of Nadab and Abihu.

I am happy to hear that some have been saved from seeing some of the prophecy mongering films and books. The SDA often use this kind of eschatology as a hook to draw new members into their organization. The soteriology from that hermeneutic principle is worse than Pelagian, but the eschatology tends to turn peoples' tantalize the itching ears of the lost.

By the way, there is one other book that you might find both doctrinally sound and very pragmatic. It is the book by Bishop J. C. Ryle, "A Call to Prayer." It is even available by audio on YouTube in its entirety.

Sometime when you feel like just listening, I can highly recommend that book. It addresses the subject of prayer in very similar ways that you have mentioned.

God bless you, Justme. I am praying that God will continue to create a deep craving for Him in your heart, and that you will be satisfied in Him far more than you can imagine.

In Him, Doc
