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 | EdB | 243061 | ||
Justme EMBounds wrote some excellent books on prayer. Possibilities Of Prayer and Power Through Prayer are two that come to mind, I believe there are others. I viewed the movie War Room much like you, a call to Christians to prayer. Something that is much neglected by the modern church. Of course you have to have expectations for your prayers. And I will concede that many times the expectations are based on fleshly lust rather than spiritual need. But that does not negate the need for fervent prayer by every believer. The Holy Spirit will bring correction where correction is needed, our responsibility is to pray and let God deal with motive. My wife has a special place in our back bedroom and I do most of my praying closed in my den. Jesus told us to have a prayer closet and I believe this is the biggest failure of the modern church to stress the need to get alone for fervent prayer. I have learned that the more we pray the closer our relationship with God becomes. Nothing brings us into a closer relationship that I know. We are to pray without ceasing but we also need to get away from it all, close ourselves into a prayer room and spend time in God's presence. |
