War Room Movie Review

This War Room Movie review is to express my utmost gratitude to the makers of this film because each time I watch it, my Christian faith is strengthened. 

I learned the following by watching the War Room Movie:

1. How To Set Up My War Room 

I learned how to set up a War Room in my home because we are shown how the main character Elizabeth Jordan (acted by Priscilla Shirer) sets up a War Room in her home. I saw that she hang up prayer requests and Bible verses on her walls and used the space to communicate with God. 

I recommend that every Christian should have a space dedicated to prayer because the Bible tells us that we should pray in a secret place. I have also noticed that when you pray in a certain place consistently, the "atmosphere" is that place is changed. This is also seen in the movie where a retired Pastor is immediately able to discern the closet where Elizabeth's Prayer Mentor Miss Clara (acted by Karen Abercombie) had been praying.

Therefore, dedicate a room or a space in a room for prayer and hang Bible verses on the walls to strengthen your faith in God. You can also hang pictures of what you are believing God for.

2. Let God Fight My Battles

I was reminded to let God fight my battles by Elizabeth Jordan who was having issues with her husband Tony Jordan (acted by T. C. Stallings) because instead of responding to him the way the secular culture would expect us to respond, she responded by being nice in person but lethal in her prayers. 

Therefore, instead of responding to people in a secular manner, learn to respond to them in a Christian manner as you present your grievances to God in prayer and let Him deal with the people hurting you. 

3. You Can Praise God Without Music

I realized that you do not have to put on Christian praise music to praise God. You can just praise Him by speaking out His attributes and the good things He has done. 

For example, you can praise God by saying, "I praise You Father God because You are a mighty God who is able to do exceedingly and abundantly more than I can ask or imagine."

Therefore do not let the lack of music stop you from praising God. Just open your mouth and proclaim His wonderful characteristics.

For example, you can praise Him by saying, "I praise You Father God because You are Jehovah Rapha, the God who heals."

Praying The Names Of God And His Characteristics

4. Check Myself Regularly

Miss Clara asked Elizabeth Jordan some very good, introspective questions which I also asked myself as I was watching the movie. One of the questions she asked was about her prayer life.

I also resolved to question myself about my prayer life every time I face a challenge. If my prayer life is good, I will continue trusting God for a good outcome. If my prayer life is lacking in some area, I will step up my efforts.

Therefore, when you are facing a stressful challenge, examine yourself to determine if you are doing your best spiritually and physically to deal with it.

5. Prioritize My Prayer Requests

I was reminded to prioritize my prayer requests and issues. This is because when Miss Clara was beginning to mentor Elizabeth, she asked her for one thing she wanted to change. 

We can also see this in the Bible from blind Bartimaeus who was also a beggar because when Jesus asked Him "What do you me to do unto you?" (Mark 10:51) he asked for only one thing - his sight. Barnabas did not ask for his sight and a job so that he could stop begging.   

Therefore, prioritize your problems and place the most pressing problem at the top of your prayer list. Then attack it boldly in prayer and when you solve it, move on to the next problem on your prayer list. This does not mean that you cannot pray for many things at the same time. It is just a suggestion to focus the power of your prayers on the problem that is causing you the most distress. 

6.  Trust God

I was reminded to trust God and stand on His Word as I wait for Him to answer my prayers. 

Therefore trust God completely as you pray since we are told to Ask in faith without doubting. (James 1:6)

How To Trust God Completely

7. Resist The Devil

I was reminded to resist the devil and not to accept his activities in my life like taking away my blessings. 

So, resist the devil and pray against him taking your blessings like your health, family, job, etc. because we know that The thief comes to steal, kill and destroy. (John 10:10)

Obey the Scripture which tells us to Submit to God, resist the devil and he will flee from you (James 4:7) by surrendering your life to God and resisting the devil in prayer.


I therefore highly recommend the War Room movie for all Christians, and even non-Christians. It is especially helpful for persons who are struggling with some problem because it covers the basics of Christian Spiritual Warfare by teaching us how to be a Prayer Warrior. It also shows us the power of prayer very well.

How To Deal With Deception

How to deal with deception is part of our Dealing with the Devices of the Devil Series and it has been adapted from the book We Are Not Ignorant Of His Devices.

Are you suffering physically, mentally, emotionally, spiritually, financially, maritally and in other ways because someone has deceived you?

If you are, know that you are dealing with deception which is one of the devices of the devil.

We know that deception is from the devil because the Bible tells us that The great dragon was cast out, that serpent of old, called the Devil or Satan, who deceives the whole world (Revelations 12:9)

We can see a good example of this from the Gibeonites who Worked craftily and carried old sacks and old wineskins which were torn and mended. They wore old sandals on their feet and put on old garments. The bread they carried for their provisions was also dry and moldy. They then went to Joshua and said, "Make a covenant with us because we have come from a far country." (Joshua 9:4-6) 

After the Israelites had made a covenant with them, they heard that the Gibeonites were their neighbors who lived near them. (Joshua 9:16)

How To Avoid Being Deceived As A Christian

If you are a Christian and you do not want to be deceived, do the following:

Pray

Pray and ask God to guide you because the Israelites were fooled by the Gibeonites because they Did not ask counsel of the Lord. (Joshua 9:14)

Sample prayers that you can say include:

Heavenly Father it is written that if we lack wisdom we should ask You and it will be given (James 1:5) and I therefore ask You in the name of Jesus to help me know what I should in this situation.  

Heavenly Father I ask You in the name of Jesus to fill me with Your Holy Spirit so that He can guide me in all truth. (John 16:13)

Put On The Armor Of God 

Put on the armor of God because we are told to Put on the whole armor of God so that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. (Ephesians 6:11) Click on the link to read How to put on the Armor of God.

Renew Your Mind

The Bible tells us to Be transformed by the renewing of your mind so that you may be able to know what is that good, acceptable and perfect will of God. (Romans 12:2)

Therefore if you do not want to be deceived and you want to know God's perfect will for you in a situation, renew your mind.

To renew your mind, meditate on positive Bible verses that nullify the negative thoughts in your mind. Bible verses that you can meditate on to avoid deception include:

I have acknowledged the Lord and He shall direct my paths. (Adapted Proverbs 3:6) 

I have asked God and He will show me great and mighty things which I did not know. (Adapted Jeremiah 33:3)

I have submitted to God. I am resisting the devil and he is fleeing from me. (James 4:7) 

To learn more about how to overcome deception and deal with 19 other devices that the devil uses to attack God's people, read We Are Not Ignorant Of His Devices.

  

The Threefold Cord Of Prayer

The threefold cord of prayer is based on the teaching of Jesus where He says, "If you have faith as a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there' and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you. However, this kind does not go out except by prayer and fasting." (Matthew 17:20-21)

The Threefold Cord Of Prayer: 1. Faith

The first cord of the Threefold Cord Of Prayer is faith.

This is because Jesus said, "If you have faith as a mustard seed" (Matthew 17:20) 

Therefore when you pray, have faith and believe that God will give you what you are praying for. 

Even if you feel that your faith is weak, decide to believe that God will still answer your prayer because Jesus taught us that faith that is as small as a mustard seed can move a mountain. (Matthew 17:20)

If on the other hand, you feel that your faith is wavering, pray "Lord I believe. Help my unbelief." (Mark 9:24) 

The Threefold Cord Of Prayer: 2. Fluency

The second cord of the Threefold Cord Of Prayer is fluency.

This is because Jesus said, "You will say to this mountain" (Matthew 17:20) 

Therefore after you pray in faith, open your mouth and speak to your situation and tell it what it should do. For example, if you have a mountain of problems in your life, tell it to 'Move from here to there'. (Matthew 17:20)

To increase the power of your words, use Words from the Bible since the sword of the Spirit is the Word of God. (Ephesians 6:17)

So go through your Bible and find the Words that you will use to speak to your mountain because Death and life are in the power of the tongue and those who love it will eat its fruit. (Proverbs 18:21) 

You can also read the book SWORD WORDS since it has compiled numerous Scriptures that you can use to pray for different situations.

The Threefold Cord Of Prayer: 2. Fasting

The third cord of the Threefold Cord Of Prayer is fasting.

This is because Jesus said, "This kind does not go out except by prayer and fasting." (Matthew 17:21) 

Therefore after you pray in faith and speak to your situation, fast from food for a specified time so that you can combine your prayers with fasting. 

You can abstain from food for 1 day (Judges 20:26) or for 3 days like Queen Esther (Esther 4:16) or for 7 days (1 Samuel 31:13) or for 10 days (Daniel 1:12) or for 14 days (Acts 27:33) or for 21 days (Daniel 10:3) or 40 days (Exodus 34:28 and Matthew 4:2). If you have never fasted before you can begin by skipping 1 meal. If you have any medical condition or you are taking medication, please consult your doctor first.

In conclusion, if you have a mountainous problem in your life, pray for it to move from your life, believe that God will move it from your life, speak to it and tell it to move from your life and fast for it to move from your life. Combine prayer with this threefold cord and "Nothing will be impossible for you." (Matthew 17:20)
