Your Prayer Room is Your War Room

Your prayer room is where the warrior does battle against the unseen powers of the spiritual realm. Pray earnestly to your Father with a sincere heart. Answers may come in quite unusual ways, but He always hears and responds for your best.

July's Message, Day 1:

“And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you. And when you pray, do not keep on babbling like pagans, for they think they will be heard because of their many words. Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him. Matthew 6:5-8 NIV

If you've seen the movie, then you already know it. Your prayer room is in fact your "War Room." We wrestle, remember, not against flesh, but against the evil powers of the spiritual realm. Pray like a warrior, succinct and simple is powerful. Eloquence and many words are not required unless you feel led by the Spirit to do so. God in fact knows precisely all the circumstances and what needs to be done, but He dearly loves to hear your prayers as they are a sweet incense to Him. Just pray as best you can according to His Word, His will, and His ways, often impossible to fully know, but simply have a sincere heart and mind and tell your Father what you're feeling. He's always there and hears, even if answers are delayed or seem to never come, and look for answers that come in quite different ways than expected. Pray persistently like a warrior and battles will be won.
