So many times we get entrenched in battle and our mindset becomes bogged down in the battlefield as our focus shifts from being a victor to being a victim. I believe this is critical to my spiritual walk, because jouraling and strategizing helps me to remain intentional about moving forward and walking in a victorious mindset. I regularly write about how God is orchestrating circumstances, or what He is speaking to me, about the battles I’m facing and the strategy I am using to overcome them. Over the next many pages I keep a journal and battle plan! I made an “Answered Prayers” section in the back of my journal and date the answered prayers. I date these needs so that I can track when they were answered.ģ. Next I write down prayers that need answers: healing for my friends, loved ones walking through hard seasons of life, etc. On the first pages I write down the things I pray for daily: family, unsaved loved ones, etcĢ. However, I wanted to make my prayer journal something more, so I first grabbed an ordinary notebook and made myself a cover.ġ. Once I had in mind what I wanted, decided to make my prayer journal my war room. The purpose for a war room isn’t the room itself, the purpose is to have a place where we can be free from all distractions, where we can focus, and where we can get alone in that “closet” with the Lord and simply spend time with Him.įor some, that may be a physical room, for others – like me – it may need to be something more creative. It’s what the war room represents, otherwise our war room will be no more effective than any other method we’ve tried and failed at in our effort to make our prayer life more effective. So, where could I put my war room? When You Don’t Have Room For a War Roomįirst of all, I had to ask myself: Is it the war room that is significant, or what it represents? It would be uncomfortable, if it didn’t fall apart first. Amoires – if you want to get fancy with it. Even our bedroom isn’t private, since you have to walk through it to get to the boys’ room. We live in a 750 square foot home and every room in this house is a high traffic area. The next morning I got up, quietly padded into our living room, turned on the heat, and glanced around. I had laughed and cried….and cried the ugly cry….as I watched Priscilla Shirer transform from a mediocre Christian wife in a dysfunctional marriage to a prayer warrior staking her claim, holding the line, and demanding victory. I applaud the Kendrick brothers' evolution and am looking forward to their next movies.Tears ran down my cheeks as I watched the closing credits scroll down my computer screen. Christians will love the movie, and hopefully non-Christians will consider the message. This is a movie by Christians who pull no punches in sharing their faith and beliefs. The audience clapped and added their "amens" throughout the movie. There were a couples scenes that were a bit "off." One scene really didn't work (husband's dream sequence) and could have been cut, and the other (mugging) needed to be reworked as it turned out looking cheesy, but these two scenes accounted for about 2 minutes of the entire film. The comedic lines were delivered well and got loud chuckles from the audience. The production value, writing, and acting are better as a whole. I was not expecting too much progression, but I was very pleasantly surprised. I'll admit I've gone and seen these movies because I could see the potential in their film making and I wanted to support the genre. The Kendrick brothers' movies get better each time and it has been fun to watch them progress.
